Do you honestly like the new Pokemon?

I stopped getting Pokemon games at Diamond/Pearl.

When I see the new Pokemon since then, I kinda feel like they're pretty dumb and silly. I'm really not saying that because I don't get the games anymore. I'm still a Pokemon fan and wouldn't even want to hate, but I think since D/P, the designs and names got a little bit lame. Of course there are still cool ones and even the older games had stupid ones, but I think most of the new generations are really bad.

What do you think?

PS: Is "Pokemon" even acceptable as plural? I feel like writing Pokemons or even Pokemen (lol), since Pokemon doesn't sound good as plural.

Well, Pokemon = Pocket Monster, so Pokemon would be Pocket Monster, and Pokemons would be Pocket Monsters, so I think Pokemons is correct, but I prefer Pokemon.

I own:
Diamond.
SoulSilver.
Black.

I really like all of them. Sure, some Pokemon look odd, but for the most part, they are pretty cool.

I like the X and Y Pokemon too (Except the Starters). The Mega Evolutions are sweet.

Pokemon is a Japanese word isn't it? There's no plurals in the Japanese language from what I know.

I like all Pokemon!

I think what Terror said makes it seem right. I even remember the people in the games saying "PKMNs". It just sounds a bit wrong.

And to Crash, I don't think they actually call and write it "Pokemon".

Obviously it's up to personal opinion, but I think the Pokemon in Black look bad compared to the older ones. Even in Diamon, I was a bit disappointed when I started encountering many new ones.

The first 3 generations just seem the best and most creative to me.

All the generations are creative, but only a few are decent.

On a side note, I think after X and Y we will get Ruby and Sapphire remakes. So we might have 3D Gen 3 battles, which would be kickass!

Oh right. The next remake would be R/S.

Can't wait to see the Diamond/Pearl and the Black/White remakes. But I think the remakes of the remakes would be nice too.

I already like the graphics and battles of the newest games, but I don't like the generations. I don't think they're still as creative as they used to be, but well.

Have you seen screenshots of X and Y? The fights are like the Anime. No more sprites!

According to the generations, I predict Diamond and Pearl will be remade at Gen 7 or 8.

I haven't really looked at Gen 6, but I enjoyed most of the gen Pokemon.

I did see the screenshots, that's why I said I like what the battles look like and stuff.

And what I said about Diamond and Pearl getting a remake, was sarcasm. There probably will be a remake, but I think it's really stupid. It's like next year, starting to remake PS3 games.

Why remake a game that's graphically fine and still playable.
