Black and White Thoughts: WTF Pokemon!

written by: Tsubasa on 2010-07-13 at 5:15 PM

Pokemon Black and White some how seems to make me angry every time they reveal a new Pokemon. The same goes for the anime, as you can read all about it from my previous blog. What has me angry? Well first I though Pokemon was getting on the Yu-Gi-Oh bandwagen, however I now think they are after Digimon. Firstly let me get this out, I am as much of Pokemon fan as I am a Digimon fan, also people need to remember Digimon is a whole 5 years older I believe. Also I did try to once make a Battle Revolution team consisting of Pokemon that look like Digimon, cough-Claydol-cough. Anyways, looking at the new Pokemon, here are comparisons.








Having a body inside a clear holder is nothing new, Yu-Gi-Oh has it too, ie. Clear Vice Dragon. 

So whatever happened to Pokemon being original? Sure many of these franchies take ideas real life animals and Japanese myths, but overall it looks like there is a limit to how many real life ideas one can copy.

Oh my gawd. Did you hear? The Pedo Bear is a rip from a bear. OMGSOUNORIGINAL. 

Don't get your panties in a bunch. Most of those don't even look like the picture next to them. You are just pointing out the usage of the same species and theme. I mean moles and digging? Clearly those are in no way associated with each other. 

Pokemon was NEVER original. They never made Pokemon from the imagination (that I know of) but from folk lore and etc.

The last line isn't supposed to hate, but it sounds like it. xD I am sure there are a few Pokemon pulled from the blue, but the majority of them have a background/reason.

Most pokemon ideas are indeed based on  folklore I mean look at golduck=kappa and besides the bird that pokemon made up looks a native american bird when digimons version looks like a griffin bird thing and besides its not ripping of an idea just if it looks the same they just look similar but not the same thing thats why no lawsuits have been made .....

DIDN'T ANYONE OF YOU READ? OMG!
Every generation Pokemon is in production / selection of those new ones in hands of different people groups... So every generation has Its own group of people who must choose the best ideas... And I am totally fine with it!
Why because they just have different style!

:D
