I agree actually. I really get sick of all the people saying Gen 4 pokemon are "ugly" without giving any reason other than "'cause they look stupid". My favorite was a post by someone at Bulbagarden saying that Magmortar is a "fat Magmar", Electivire is a "fat Electabuzz", Rhyperior is a "fat Rhydon", and yeah, you get the picture.

In my opinion, Electabuzz was fairly forgettable, but Electivire is one of my favorite Pokemon. Of course, that's not true of all new Pokemon. I'm not a huge fan of Magmortar for example, but at least I don't see it as the scum of the Pokemon world compared to the greatness that is Magmar as many fans who can't seem to take off their nostalgia goggles do.

Oh and by the way, Clefable = fat Clefairy, just saying.
LOL, "fat [INSERT POKEMON HERE]".

Thanks for backing me up, Jeff.

Hmm, well, I guess I personally see it as the ultimate refinement of the franchise's gameplay, and I also like the change in how Physical/Special attacks work.

Oh, and I also think that "HG/SS" refined it even further because of the Berry Pots item (no more having to pick and watch over the most convenient patch of soil on the overworld to plant Berries in!) and that your Pokemon can walk behind you (almost) all the time, a la "Yellow". I just wish it had the VS Seeker from "FR/LG" and "D/P/PT".

Oh, and I like "Diamond/Pearl/Platinum's" music...especially the Team Galactic grunt/admin themes. (There's some alright stuff in Gen 3, too, BTW.)

Anyhow, I don't normally post in topics like this, so I think I'll stop now.
