Random Pokemon... ?
Have the creators run out of ideas?

I think the title explains it all. In the past months that have counted down towards Diamond and Pearl (which would be tommorow, the day it is released), there has been much speculation over the new Pokemon. When we first caught a glimpse of Gonbe - or Munchlax - we were all pretty excited. Then we found Lucario, and he showed us a cool design that follows Balizken and Mewtwo's design, giving him the look of strength. Then more and more appeared. Some were awesome looking, some got an okay, but many got a "huh?"
It now looks as though the creators of Pokemon have run out of ideas - and I am not kidding. Many of these new Pokemon look like the n00bish fakemon you see on the net (not all fakemon are n00bish, just the n00bish ones are, get it?). Take a look at the Pokemon above, Bippa. He's being classified as a round mouse Pokemon, and he really is that. Read what he has to say, "All I am is a circle with a face that has some more circles framing it..." This true. Draw out an circle (actually Bippa is more of an oval, but you get the idea). Next draw a face. Frame the face with circles, then erase the bottom portions to make half circles, and you have a Bippa (don't forget the three circles that act as the tails). That wasn't too hard, right? It shouldn't have been. However, it should have been somewhat hard for the creators. I doubt it was, considering that they have professional artists on the job. So Bippa is just one of the many sad excuses of a Pokemon.
Next, I invite you to make fun of the Pokemon Masukippa with me.
Two circles (the creators seem to be basing all of the new Pokemon on circles). One circle acts as the head, the other the body. Now give it a few horns and a few swirvy lines for legs, and you have a Pokemon. Sad huh? I fell like I'm on a Blues Clues show.
This next one should catch your eye.
Dorapion. So it's not as 'simple' as a circle but it is... random. Very random. In this Pokemon you can see where they were going. They were trying to put the concept of a scorpion into this Pokemon. Well... no... it just didn't work out. It is random and that is all I have to say.
Now, This article isn't here to bash all of the new fourth generation Pokemon. Some of the Pokemon are just AWESOME! The three starter Pokemon are really cool, we finally got to see a penguin! And the new legendary Pokemon (Parukia and Diaruga) are something totally new! But many are sad. In the past we as fans have always expected some great ideas and designs from the creators. And we've gotten that. Look at how far we've leaped from Pokemon Red and Blue and now to a 3D enviorment - keeping the 2D in there - for the Nintendo DS! But it's a shame to see that this game will have some very random and simple Pokemon featured in there. I hope that - if - the creators continue on a fifth generation that they take a bit more time. We can wait, so lets not push them to bring out the better ones.
I will remind you all again, tommorow is a big day and we can expect a HUGE blast of Pokemon because people will of had obtained the games and be sharing them all over the world. Tommorow, we just may see the entire fourth generation, so let's cross out fingers for some really cool Pokemon to show up.
