I always thought it had "Vin-" in it, like as in Vine. Venus. What sense does that make? It is not a planet. It is a plant.
Highest sex appeal stat. |

Venus flytrap, I assume. |

I think it is from Venus fly trap, but I'm no Pokexpert.
Am I invisible?  |

Wow, I'm surprised no one mentioned that before you did. |

"Pokeman" is a contraction of "pocket" and "manster."

What are you talking about, they evolve hundreds of time each game. At least when I play.  Yeah- seriously though. I can't tell the games apart at all, nor do I care to. Talk about sticking with the formula. |

Actually, the first and second generation games were more standard and more juvenile. Not juvenile in the bad way, but the "story" was more just a framework for the idea. The third and fourth generation games are much worse, in my opinion, because they take themselves much too seriously. It's hard to take plans for world domination seriously when the villains want to do so by utilizing cute and fuzzy little pets.
Pets that could rip your face off with a mean look, but pets regardless.

i was excited about the new one until i realized its just yet another re-hash.
nothing's changed since the black and white days except for a few incremental additions like mating and day-night cycles.
i really wish they'd step it up a little. keep the same collection/battle gameplay but you know...bring it into this century.
i like pokemon a lot but i cant justv re-play the same thing over and over again. for 10 years.
i want a real sequel.

My only beef is that you have to have multiple copies of the same game to have all of the Pokemon. How can you market a game with the line, "Gotta catch'em all!" if you cannot, in fact, catch them all?

There where three incremental add ons that I felt really added something. Dark and Steel Pokemon fixed a really big imbalance from Red/Blue, where psychic Pokemon had a massive advantage. Pokemon being able to hold items, because it added a new pre-battle tactical thing. I also liked the beauty contests, if you played hardcore and tried to stick with one team for everything you had to plan your selection of attacks carefully to be good for both. Most of the rest of it was fluff. With the occasional 'oh thats neat' thing. Like the item that lets you re-challenge trainers for twinking easily and the balancing of stat growth to reflect how much you used the Pokemon as well as how you raised it. I definitly can't deal with this 500 stuff they throw around these days. Bring back Pokemon Snap.  [/Pokemon nerd] |

seriously, why can't we talk about bob's game? I mean, 60 pages of people (mostly) exclaiming how stupid and despicable he is before he actually released the game, and then 10 pages of pokeman talk once he actually shows something, that is actually somewhat interesting. sure, maybe he's an asshole, but do we have to be assholes right back?
(my point isn't that people are assholes, but I used to read this thread to keep myself updated to what was going on with the game, which obviously isn't really possible anymore)

Dude, the thread title says POKEMON. Have you been paying attention at all? I'm a nice man, though, so I'll refer to a good Bob's Game website. http://www.bobsgame.com/Favorite Pokemon: Sandslash. |

I always liked Arcanine. Never could get one in the game, though.
