But the natures affect some stats. Each nature raises a stat and lowers another. But there are 5 that don't do anything (Hardy, Docile, Brave, Bashful, Quirky). They are the best for a pokémon.

I know what natures are, I was just saying some of them don't make sense.

Which ones don't make sense?

Just ones that don't fit the Pokemon's personality or contradicts the pokedex entries such as my rival's Mewtwo having a calm nature even though the pokedex entries says its vicious and any pokemon can have any nature like a Gyarados being gentle even though they destroy cities in times of conflict or a Primeape can be jolly even though they get angry easily.

It's a random thing, you know...
I'm sure that Game Freak did this for fun and for put a personality for each pokémon... but for some don't make sense, that's true.
Anyways, it's funny :)

There are several reasons for all the Hoenn hate:

1) Too many water routes. I didn't enjoy wasting my money on Repels to keep away all the Pelipper and Tentacruel.
i find that annoying... But it is part of a RPG game.

2) In my opinion, this is the generation where the new Pokemon started to get weirder and uglier (i.e., Mawile, the Regis).
AGREE
3) The music was bad. A few of the songs themselves were good, however the instrumentation was horrible. I could never stand to play with the volume up.
i only liked the music from an MT. Where you could see a lot of graves.

Don't judge a Pokemon by its looks, judge them by their stats.
That doesn't mean that they can make them look crappy and ugly! At the beginning they looked great! For God sake! They're professional artists!. D:<

Random encounters are one of the worst things an RPG can do.

Other than the Gen I Japanese sprites (many of which were downright freaky) most of the earlier Pokemon looked as normal as you can expect a "Pocket Monster" to look. But when you attach a giant mouth on the back of something's head, you know you've gone too far.

>>schmutz
Imagine Pokémon Generations to be reversed, like in Gen V Pokémon being Gen I, Gen IV being Gen II, etc.
Now imagine to see the first 151 Pokémon to be shown for the first time, then you'd have exactly the same opinion as you now have for Gen V Pokémon.

Well, you have to remember that these are POKEMON. They're fictional creatures in a fictional world. So of course all of them can't look pretty, because that would be boring to have every single pokemon look cute and what not. It would be more...uhh...realistic (Sorry, I can't find a better word for it) to have some weird and deformed-looking pokemon mixed in too.

So you're saying Dugtrio, Seel, Muk, Dodrio, Magneton, and Electrode are awesome designs? Especially when one is simply three of the prevolution? I really don't like it how nostalgia can make people blind. But I have to agree with you that I like some 1st generation designs are better than some 3rd (Porygon>>>Slaking). Pardon me if you are just generalizing, though.

Oh yeah, which generation introduced IVs? The first one? Dunno. Whatever it is, I HATE IVs. Stupid things.

I found RSE and DPP to be needlessly complicated. Black (and White) seems to be easier so far from what I've seen.

They are, indeed, professional artists and that is why designs for Gen V are not as bland.
