If anyone is interesting in getting into/back into competitive Pokemon, Pokemon Showdown! is currently the most popular simulator. Obviously Gen VI isn't supported yet, but it may take longer than usual for a new generation due to the 3DS not yet being hacked or something of the sort. In any case if you wanted to, you could still get into the Gen V metagame while it lasts. Smogon is also the best competitive Pokemon resource on the web, they host tournaments and mentoring for new players as well as having very active discussion forums.

rQwireVoltorb/Electrode - something that looked like pokeballs.
Magnemite/Magneton - just magnets and metals stuck together.
Diglett/Dugtrio - modeled after the whac-a-mole machine.
Jynx - racial representation of a black chick.
Mr. Mime - a clown/mime love-child.
Unown - it's the fucking alphabet.

Every generation always had amazing designs and shitty designs, don't let nostalgia blur your perception. I mean Dugtrio is still cool as hell but you can't really give flak to newer pokemon that didn't look like animals and ignore all the older pokemons that was not animals to begin with.

the thing with these silly designs is that they're all still really simple and easy to recognize (id argue that Jynx is supposed to be ganguro but it probably is just a racial representation). the new "silly" designs arent simple at all so they stand out more with how dumb they look.

I don't think i'm being blinded by nostalgia by feeling that the older pokemon had much cooler designs, particularly the starter pokemon

that's kind of a bad example considering the theory behind ditto let alone what the pokemon actually does. a good example would probably be voltorb/electrode. they're just pokeballs with eyes whose sole purpose is to commit suicide @_@

Voltorb and Electrode are references to animal camouflage in man-made environments.
Remember walking into the powerplant in Red/Blue for the first time and seeing all those 'items' on the ground? I thought I was rich! Instead, all I got was Pokemon that blew themselves up . -.

Realistically on the designs, comparably they aren't that bad, take for example Spectrobes, which I personally enjoyed, the designs on that looked like a small child had done it. the leap between level 2 and 3 looked like someone had just added bits on.
So just be glad pokemon hasnt reached that level, and hopefully never will.
In other news fucking hyped for Tyrantrum

weather effects from abilities now last 5 turns

thunder/blizzard/fire blast/hurricane dropped to 110 BP, probably will be the same for hydro pump too
steath rock untouched :(
frost breath now has 60BP, and since it always crits it will effectively be a 90% acc blizzard

Okay, wait... You get BP from PVP arenas, right? I never did any PVP outside of NetBattle, so I can't remember.

How many turns were weather effects before? I remember Rain Dance and Sunny Day lasting for 5 turns. I don't ATM remember other weather effects, but did they last more/less than 5?

And what the fuck is Frost Breath? A move pretty much equalling a 90% Blizzard is ridiculous.

Even having beat Black, I don't feel like I've caught up to Pokemon whatsoever :x

She meant BP as "base power," meaning that thunder/blizzard/fb/hurricane went from 120 base power down to 110.

Weather effects used to last endlessly if they were sent out via abilities (like drought) unless another pokemon cancelled it with its own weather ability

Frost breath is an ice move with 60 base power that has guaranteed crits (unless the other pokemon has an abilitiy that prevents that)

Oh, I thought she meant battle points ahaha. not sure why they would lower thunder/blizzard/etc's base power. that's silly. are they still the top attacks for their type, power wise? the weather effects must have been endless some time after being introduced considering in gen 2 they RD/SD were 5 turns.

Rain Dance and Sunny Day always only lasted 5 turns. The weather effects that were endless came from ones that were caused by Pokemon abilities introduced in Gen 3. NOT Rain Dance/Sunny Day/whatever. And now in Gen 6 they won't be.

Oh, yeah, you're right. I missed the "abilities" part. Yeah, sounds understandable. I never really had a problem w/ the abilities but I can see why people would.
