Gray Matter (comic)

After the 400th Pokemon or so… they just ran out of motivation to be creative I guess! We’re at a point now where are new Pokemon are LITERALLY garbage.

Lol pokemon is not original anymore the new design sucks and the new pokemons are all derpy hurrrrr they're not like my voltorb look at my voltorb it looks so amazing and original! Or what about my diglet? my diglet is grea i mean how dare you compare it to the new designs
and don't you dare say otherwise because wha i say it's a fact and my opinion is better than yours! LOL GUYS AM I COOL YET?!

How did that sound? Retarded, right? If you want to make fun of a pokemon make fun of all of them. What is that? I can't compare them because they're from the first generation? Aww I'm sorry I'm insulting your first pokemon game. Oh, you would like to check those nostalgia goggles, they're a little tight

Come here with more than 600 original desings that doesn't look retarded and then we'll talk

Hilarious how everyone bashes the Gen 5 designs. Oh hey, look! There's a Voltorb, Ditto, Diglett, Poliwrath, Seel, Grimer, Krabby, and Exeggcute all just all standing inconspicuously side by side!

Such awesome and original designs! >_>

Created well over 150+ some odd pokémon based on nearly every animal known to man and incorporate the concept of collecting bugs...

5th gen is much better than 4th. The non legendary pokemon (all 20 of them) looked like they were designed by Dr. Wiley. Tell me with a straight face that Meganaton's evolution doesn't look like a megaman virus.

Jack out- I mean, Return Lucario-man! You're no match for Torchman- I mean Magmortar!

how to get views on a webcomic

Bash current gen of pokemon
???
Profit

seriously, let's see some of your "awesome" pokemon designs, sure it's a garbage bag, but it's 600+ pokemon based on objects and animals around the world, america is notorious for it's garbage problem, and our landfills are overflowing, at least in this kind of thing it wouldn't be as bad of a problem, another great thing is they at least didn't make it completely useless in battle, stop complaining unless you are willing to give an alternative design or a way to improve this one

Ok, I love the first gen as much as the next gamer, but you have to admit Seal was THE least creative pokemon to ever be.

I always thought some of the new pokemon along with that one were coppied from the Earthbound/Mother series. Seriously put some of them in the games and you would not know the difference.

this makes me wonder even more what the design for dolly the cloned sheep would look like

and also I would like to ask what would an unoriginal pokemon look like? they all look creative just somewhat silly

Incidentally, one of these things knocked out all but one of my team before I caught it, and it is AMAZING in battle.

I still don't see people's problems with the new pokemon. It's not that random. It's a garbage can. It equals poison. It's not supposed to look pretty :\ Garbage+odor=Garbodor. Simple.
That being said there are quite a few stupid designs this season, but there have been EVERY season. Pokemon is turning into a hipster game now, where everybody only likes the originals.

why does it matter what they look like anyway? you still gonna try to collect them all...

if you play that is

Garbodor's left arm...looks like the nozzle for a gasoline pump...you just KNOW Gas Prices are going to go up because of that.

Its previous evolution was a piece of Trubbish.

Haha Gray Matter because it demonstrates the steadily decreasing capabilities of humans' gray, and also because Garbodor is just a steaming lump of gray matter

If originality is the issue let me advert your attention to the following starter http://www.serebii.net/pokedex-bw/500.shtml

I know it has nothing to do with the comic but I have to ask, reputation be damned.

WHY is My Little Ponies so popular among GROWN MEN right now?
