You know, I've been thinking more and more over how they are planning a completely new Pokedex for Isshu, and I'm starting to feel myself grow in support more and more for it.
It feels a bit like whenever someone played Red and Blue for the first few times, how it just seemed to mesmerize and there was a sense of discovery. "Oh cool, Rhyhorn! I wonder what it does...." Back when nobody knew everything about it, and it was all new and exciting. Things slipped a bit for Gold/Silver, as there were quite a few familiar faces like Geodude as well as the new ones like Spinarak.
I might just be droning on a bit in nostalgia, but I wonder if I would feel the same way when I pick this generation up. That same sense of discovery and wonder. I rather like how they'd handle the Isshu Dex for now.

Yea,but its fun to pick an choose the Pokemon you want,no one can deny that theve already done it with the released Pokemon.
Denchura means "electric tarantula", so he's on the right.
But for the game's target audience, it's a whole new RBY. Save a couple Pokes they recognize from commercials and the boxart. *Sigh* Kinda envy them.
So by RSE you all were getting sick of Geodude and such?
BTW, I WOULD still like to see RSE remakes, especially with the reveals about Gen V making better usage of the DS (I.E. Polygon cutscenes, camera, better 3D, 3D battling, etc.). If Reshiram and Zekrom get cool polygonal cutscenes, I would REALLY enjoy a cutscene where Kyogre awakens. And I want to be able to see Armaldo PWN stuff in Gen V.

GS, while my favorite, did a horrible job of incorporating the new Pokemon. Half of the gyms didn't have ANY Gen II mons, a pretty big handful of new Pokemon weren't even available in Johto (Murkrow, Houndour, Slugma) and another handful were so rare you might not even know they existed if they missed a certin trainerr (Marill 1% at Mt Mortar, Yanma 1% Route 35, Dunsparce, Qwilfish, Snubbull).
I will say --- as someone that quit playing Pokemon when Crystal was released, and didn't return to playing Pokemon until HGSS was released --- I enjoy playing HGSS far more than I enjoy playing Diamond, Pearl, or even Platinum.
Maybe it's the nostalgia factor, but the flow of HGSS to me just seems more fluid than Platinum.
Hopefully BW retains the same flow.

Oh yeah, big time. In GSC it was a nice bit of nostalgia. In RSE it was a major annoyance. Especially when you consider the large number of Pokemon that were not originally available in RSE, until we got Col/XD/FRLG.
Yeah. I can actually tell my exact thoughts when I first played Sapphire.
"Alright, it's like they started over. Everything's new. Oh look, Seedot! :D First Gym, Rock. Hrm. I wonder what new Pokemon they might have...."
*Sees Geodude from first trainer*
"What the hell...."
Just came across this. http://www.serebiiforums.com/showthread.php?t=446882&page=583
the poster "snowyarticuno" posted 2 pics. one is a black&white tgc starter set but the real thing i wanted to show you is the 2nd pic. its a lunchbox with the 3 starters. you can see wotter holding his shell like hes about to throw it. maybe this adds more fuel to the ninjotter speculation.

Actually, in terms of Gen 2 Pokemon owned by Gym Leaders:
Whitney - Miltank
Jasmine - Steelix
Pryce - Piloswine
Claire - Kingdra
Note that two of those evolve from a Gen 1 Pokemon.
Let's extend this to the E4.
Will - Xatu (x2)
Koga - Forretress, Ariados and Crobat
Bruno - Hitmontop
Karen - Umbreon, Murkrow, Houndoom
Lance - Nothing
At least here they have 2 trainers with 3 new Pokemon, but the Champ has nothing and the first member really only has one. Pretty weak incorporation if you ask me.
Umm, so if you quit playing when Crystal was released, and started back up when HGSS was released... how do you know what DPP was like?
You might say his post is filled with blasphemy.
Oh hey that's me!
The images are from Pokebeach, by the way.
Also I felt Platinum & HGSS flowed about the same for me. I liked Platinum's distribution of Pokemon better, though.
hnnnnnnnng
What does that have to do with anything?!
What is this I don't even
even don't I this is what
I guarantee you that's what they are. The first round of theme decks are almost always based off the starter's evolved forms, and get first dibs on window space like there.
