time for more talk about Pokémon
May. 8th, 2009 10:32 pmI'm sure everyone who cares has heard this already but butbutbut I absolutely had to spaz about it as well because THEY ARE REMAKING GOLD AND SILVER. *.* Yeah, as you may or may not know Generation II is my absolute favorite generation. DO WANT, SO BADLY.
No updates re: my game except I got a Cranidos. Sato also learned Thunder, so I really should evolve him sometime.
Does it bother anyone else that all the starters (except Pikachu) have a 7-to-1 male-female ratio? I mean, presumably half-ish of the players are girls, and maybe some of them would want to start with a girl Pokémon. Heck, I bet some guys also would. Well. Maybe next generation. Also, some of the Platinum sprites look really stupid. Just sayin'. (And these are only the first ones I came across. Trust me, there's tons more.)
And finally, more random Pokémon trivia Bulbapedia has taught me: Chimchar is the only starter (except Pikachu) who isn't based on an egg-laying animal. (I mean, all Pokémon lay eggs anyway, but.) I was going to say "That can't be right!", but I went through all of them and yup, apparently we really are that low on mammalian starters. (Cyndaquil's also a mammal, but apparently it's an echidna.) Just... never noticed that before.
