Those are as terrible as the last few games, their designers must be taking some kind of modern psychedelica.

illgrillchill2807d ago

I think they're whimsical for sure, and a little strange - but they absolutely nail that Alola/ Hawaii feel

ShinMaster2807d ago (Edited 2807d ago )

How do they absolutely nail the Hawaii feel?
It's just a sand castle which could represent any beach with nothing region specific about its design.
Also a stuffed animal and a crab. We've seen crabs before.

illgrillchill2807d ago

@ShinMaster: I was referring to the whole set - not just the four. A flamethrower Marowak, the crawfish Wimpod, that lei pokemon, the various forms of Oricorio, etc. Not to mention the characters in the game are mirroring the vibes. Granted, this is just my opinion.

trippyaaron2807d ago

i'm liking these way more than 5 and 6's

illgrillchill2807d ago

They're certainly going in a different direction for sure - and the different forms are totally a game changer

Majin-vegeta2807d ago

I disagree these designs are easily the worst of all gens ¬_¬

illgrillchill2807d ago

That's totally cool - because we are allowed to have different opinions. But it's a bummer you don't like them

ninsigma2807d ago

Sand castles xD
What will they come with next?? XD
Looking forward to this though!

Movefasta19932807d ago

I like the sand castle,but post gen 3 the designs are mostly meh.

illgrillchill2807d ago

There's some highs and lows - I loved Gen 4's new evolutions like Mamoswine, Yanmega, etc. Those designs were top notch!

Movefasta19932807d ago

my bad i haven't played gen 4 i stopped at emerald,that's diamond and platinum?

illgrillchill2807d ago

@Movefasta1993 Yup Diamond/Pearl/Platinum is gen 4. I've also been a fan since 1998 when it came to the states, so it's not too difficult for me to enjoy it

justy1122807d ago

so they made a Teddy Bear and a Sandcastle as new pokemon, like really come on nintendo get with the program. in the mean time im going to play Pokemon uranium Which is awesome and how a pokemon game should be.

illgrillchill2807d ago

Good article. I've found that video games help me take the focus off of myself when I am depressed. However, I've found that physical activity--running, yoga, BJJ & general exercise--combined with video games is the sweet spot for me when dealing with the angst of life. After a tough round of sparring, I love to sink into VR while resting my sore muscles. I recommend trying it. You won't regret it.
