That Farfetch'd pic made me totally lol. I'd love to see someone do that for a Spinda or Luvdisc evolution.

I'm not exactly sure Spinda can evolve, because of all the coding behind those spots... I hope they can do something about it, but as of right now I think it, Ditto, Castform, Unown and a few others I'm forgetting are stuck with crappy stats for all eternity.

And to whoever said Mightyena can't evolve because it's one of the "ultra-common" Pokémon, remember that rarity isn't set in stone. Meditite and Chimecho went from nearly nonexistent in RSE to very common in DPP. And the other way around is true, too: Hoothoot was Pidgey's night counterpart in GSC, but it didn't have that role in DPP relative to Starly... it was much rarer in that game. And it didn't even evolve, to boot. Though it certainly did love the physical/special split...

CENSORED, I was just about to post that.

And I think we have to edit that meme again

so, about the 5th gen, any thoughts on how the pokemon, anime, or Region will be?

I've been repeating this for a while: it could be anything. We don't know a blasted thing about anything about the game, except for the silhouette of one solitary Pokémon. So it's too early to say anything.

I didn't say anything about it being common, I meant that together with Zigzagoon it's one of the first encountered Pokémon in it's generation. Like Pidgey/Rattata in gen 1, Hoothoot/Sentret in gen 2 and Starly/Bidoof in 4. And I'm not saying it can't evolve because of that, I would just be amazed if any of those ever did.

Pidgeot and Staraptor can't evolve, but for completely different reasons. The rest, though, I believe are fair game. When the new games come out, Bidoof is going to be a thing of the past, a Pokémon just like any other. I don't see why those Pokémon couldn't get a third form, especially since Pidgey and Starly had them from the start. It's not like those Pokémon are forced to suck either, Staraptor is quite the force, and Bibarel is criminally underrated and underestimated despite its low stats.

Edit: I was just browsing Serebii's Itemdex, and I found an awesome way to get Leftovers really fast: steal them from Koga's Swalot. If you want an otherwise hard to obtain item, make sure you take a look at the Itemdex, you might be surprised at some of the ways to obtain them.

I don't care how off the wall that sounds, KOALAS RULE!!!!

I really Can't wait for more information on Gen 5, The silouhette looks really cool and hopefully they do it justice with the pokemon's design.

Gen 5 seems to be most likey located just below sinnoh (if the rumors are to be believed).

I have to say I will be looking forward to that new corocoro.

Where do those rumors come from, anyway? Except for Johto and Kanto, we don't even know where each region is relative to the other!

if you look at a map of japan (see the newes pkmn blogger video on youtube)
you can see all the regions

Me and PKMNBlogger think that the Gen V region will be in the spot in Japan that is north of Kanto and South of Sinnoh.

I know the Gen 5 region will be in Northeastsouthern Russia near the Mexican border. I also know that the shadowey Z pokemon whats-it's-nuts is going to be a baby pre-evo of Caterpie. QUICKLY EVERYONE SPREAD THIS INFO!




Speculation is fun

Hmm..this seems possible...OFF TO SPREAD THE GOOD NEWS!

Oh, we're talking about Japanese locations... I was talking about the regions in the Pokémon world proper.
