X/Y: These Pokémon make up for the smallest amount of new Pokémon in a generation, with only 69 Pokémon available from launch.>69 pokemon Gen 1 introduced 151, Gen 2 introduced 100, Gen 3 introduced 135, Gen 4 introduced 107, Gen 5 introduced 156... Gen 6 introduced...SIXTY. FUCKING. NINE. "One of these is not like the others" works here. They somewhat overdosed us with the amount in Gen 5 and try to make it okay by not giving us enough in Gen 6 for a total of 225 between the two. They could have at least gave us about 25 more for Gen 6. Sure, there are a bunch of great new features, a new story, and a new world. Sure, they're trying to slightly go back to their roots in the anime. But it doesn't mean they *almost* have to make me feel like I didn't get my money's worth. I'm annoyed. Anyone else?

Maybe, just maybe it's because they've been translating the game into full 3D instead of reusing sprites? Also thats not counting Mega Evolutions which is fucking stupid because Mega Evolutions will freshen the game up more than having another 20 box cloggers ever would. There are over 700 mons now OP, fucking find some you like and catch them without whining about how you want somethign new and shiny that doesn't add anything of value to the game.

Why is everybody so upset about this? Older pokémon are great too, and it's a lot nicer to see them bring all the old generations together rather than just replacing them with copies of old ones, like how Timburr was just a copy of machop.

>>14432246 It really doesn't. If Game Freak spent more time balancing out the game then that would be just as good if not better than adding new mons since you'd be able to use all the ones that are in the dumpster right now, like Beedrill. The longevity of Pokemon doesn't come from single player, which is where new mons are relevant, it comes from battling against people online or in person and the vast majority of pokemon used there are from previous gens with maybe the latest pseudo plus 3 or 4 others that happen to have good enough stats to be relevant.
If you want to whine about needing more fodder to fill out your dex, whatever, but it's not like Pidgey or Ratatta 2.0 are going to make the game any more fun to play once you catch them and leave them to rot in your box.

I've always felt there is a big jump in new Pokemon every 2 gens. Gen 2 and 4 included tons of cross-generational evolutions / pre evos so for me, those suck just as much. Gens 3 and 5 introduced a TON of standalone Pokés, whereas Gens 2 and 4 did not and the games featured too many Pokémon from previous generations (most notably in the gym leaders and E4 rosters). Gen 6 introduced Mega Evos so they kinda make up for the lack of new Pokémon, in the same way Gens 2 and 4 did, but without enlarging the Pokédex which I think was a great move by GF.

Generation 5 was great. I loved playing a game where the only Pokemon available in the main game were the new ones. In that sense, G5 captured the spirit of G1 more than any other game by having all the Pokemon in the main game be new ones. X&Y isn't a throwback to G1 or a return "to their roots". It's pandering pushed into maximum overdrive, especially with Charizard, one of the most popular G1 starter by MILES, being the only one of the three original starters to get two Mega Evolutions. Hell, Mega Evolutions themselves are an excuse to not have more new Pokemon in G6, and so far, most of the newcomers are incredibly mediocre, and I realistically don't see more than maybe three or four having a home in OU. Well, at least UU players will be happy.

Guys this thread has been discussed a million times after the total pokemon amount was released. The absolute best reason for why game freak did this was to attract the older demographic that has long since stopped playing pokemon They release an "Origins" anime as a marketing ploy to get older pokemon players interested again They "reveal" in a trailer that you can get the kanto starters So, The reason why there are only roughly 70 new pokemon is because you don't fit the demographic. GF isn't expecting someone who is picking up this game to have been playing since Gen II, and if you are then they figure, you're going to buy the game regardless (like I am, lol) These 70 new pokemon will be a drop in the bucket for someone who hasn't played pokemon for 3 generations. We only see this game as 70 new pokemon but to a Genwunner suddenly interested in the series. They've got some 500+ new pokemon to find and collect

I think the problem is less dramatic than it looks Generation 2 introduced 59 new evolutionary lines including pokemon that didn't evolve and legendaries for example Totodile + Croconaw + Feraligatr count as one, Lugia counts as one. Generation 4 introduced only 44 new evolutionary lines and those even include 13 legendaries. This is because generation added tons of evolutions to already existing evolutionary lines. Now generation 6 introduces 34 new evolutionary lines and this is with only 3 legendaries. The thing you might be lacking is legendaries, because new evolutions to already existing lines have now been replaced with Mega evolutions (as it seems). Your normal run through the story won't be any different than Generation 4, you won't be thinking (wow I have only seen so little new pokemon, because the normal run is similiar to a regular pokemon game) What instead should be irritating you is the fact that Generation 5 added 81 new evolutionary lines

>>14434008 Bullshit chinese communist math.

Gen 5 added 156 new species that did not exist before
Gen 6 added on 69 new species that did not exist before.
Gen 6 is the most low-balled, half-assed piece of shit generation in this regard. People have every right to be fucking furious for paying full price for a game that isn't even equal to prior games.

In almost every new gen., GF updates the sprites: palettes, pose, animation. Considering they had to 3D model and animate every pokémon from every game released so far in order to make it available in the game, 69 is a satisfying number.

Mega-Evolutions are not new pokemon species. They are not permanent. They don't have their own dex entries or numbers in the pokedex. They are not considered distinct pokemon. They are nothing more than powered up forms.
That's like calling Rotom's forms "new pokemon species" or Giratina's Origin form a "new pokemon species". Or how about the 26 Unown forms, are those new pokemon species? By your metric, they would be.
Gen 6 introduced 69 new pokemon species, the smallest number of any generation by far. Period.

I was talking about evolutionary lines,
If you want to claim that:
Rhyhorn turned into an entirely new experience to catch for you because it now evolved with an item during trade.
Or Porygon Z is an entirely new species because it evolves from a pokemon you already know since 3 generations if you give him an item during a trade, which isn't even part of the main story
Or that you catch nosepasses and then level them up in a specific area of the region just to evolve them into a glorious new species of Probopass and all this for 27 Pokemon you already know from earlier generations DURING the main story of the game
Then yes, you can claim that Generation added noticably more pokemon than Generation 6 will add based on our current knowledge

I think it has more to do with a development point. They arent making 2d sprites anymore, its more effort to make a animated 3d model than a animated sprite. so i think 70 3d pokemon would be about the same effort to make as 160 sprite pokemon. Though in saying this its not a real excuse but i can see the bare bones of it all

None of the new is an evolution or pre-evolution, except for Sylveon.
The Pokébank coming in December, the games are going to get filed with previous pokémon, so GF thought ahead.

If you actually want them to stop making pokemon you obviously don't know anything about it. There are still a lot of type combinations and evolutions that need to be made.
Game Freak are fucking idiots for not making more new type combinations. We are lucky we got the Poison/Dragon, but there are still more. They should have focused on that instead of giving us barely anything new and halfassing most of it (pure ice type two stage, 2 ghost/grass(they are awesome, but come on, 2?)).

>>14435307 How is Tangrowth's design any different from . What makes all the Gen 4 evos count as new Pokemon but not MegaEvos? Just because they don't show up in your dex? Just because you can't pet them in Amie?
The only Gen 4 Pokemon that aren't new lines that are radically different from their previously created lines I can think of are Mime Jr. and Elecvire. All the other evos could easily be "MegaRhydon" or "MegaMagmar" or what have you.

>>14437320 >>14437381 And to put it into perspective:
Remove the evos and pre-evos from Gen 4's new Pokemon listing, and you have 83 Pokemon. 14 of which are legendaries, something which a lot of people COMPLAINED about. Strip it down to gen 1 levels by only having Palkia, Dialga, and the Lake Trio (as the ones relevant in the main game), and then we get... 74! 75 if you count Giratina for Platinum! FUCKING WOW! 5 MORE THAN THIS GEN, DISCOUNTING MEGA EVOS!
So yeah we have slightly less totally new Pokemon designs than Gen 2 (which were mostly all meant to be in Gen 1 but were cut) and Gen 4 (which has a shitload of legendaries and continuations of old lines)so... so what?

>>14437800 Not that guy, but I really fail to see the difference between adding inane shit Igglybuff, Cleffa, Bonsly, Mr. Mime Jr to be any more WONDERFUL than the Mega mechanic.
You can also just take Rhyperior or Magnezone and call them MegaRhydon and MegaMagneton.
You're being very closed minded about this.

>>14438050 It's not being close minded. It's the fact that you guys are calling Mega Charizard X and Mega Charizard Y brand new Pokemon regardless whether they have a different look/type.
Since it only happens during battle, it's not a "new" Pokemon, it's just a new "form" that Pokemon has.

So shut the fuck up.
