You took Pokemon seriously at one point?

It's a series about children being given no education and sent into the wilderness on their own to fight and capture giant monsters, and then make those monsters fight other monsters for money. Organized crime is everywhere, there's no form of government, the police are somewhere between incompetent and non-existent, the laws of physics are so thoroughly violated that no amount of therapy will ease the pain and you can catch people wearing blackface.

How in the name of Freddie Mercury did you take this seriously?

^_^ What I meant by "taking it seriously" was that I didn't mind all the absurd and weird things they would do or show, I didn't care if the laws of physics and logic and everything else sane were completely twisted and wrong. It used to be something fun and even somewhat interesting to an extent. Now I'm not very fond of it at all. It's not that I don't like Pokémon anymore, it's just that I find it a whole lot less appealing than I used to.

EDIT: Pokebeach.com is covering the round-table event from outside, posting any info they get. They also have in-depth info on the new trailer a couple posts down. For those that can't speak German, the one picture with text roughly says "Do you have a desire to give me a sky-battle?"
EDIT2: Ok, it's over, & we'll be getting a video summing things up tomorrow. Highlights include the 3 new pokemon from the link above, Skrelp, Talonflame, & Clauncher, an additional fire-type dog pokemon, aerial Sky Battles & 1v5 Horde Battles, the Player Search System, 7 different language choices, & confirmation that other pokemon are rideable; though, I was following both serebii & pokebeach's coverages, & the former says the other confirmed pokemon is Rhyhorn, while the latter says Rhydon. Why not both?
EDIT3: Oops, nevermind. Q&A time.

I'm not too much against the new typing, actually. Dragon types are running rampant, they could definitely use some nerfing, IMO. Although, even then... I don't know. The only way it could really prove itself to me is if it was weak to Poison... it could take some of the offensive Poison-types out into the open.

Maybe I'm just not as opposed to it because I started playing Poke'mon in Gen. 4, so this "new" stuff doesn't bother me as much. I honestly don't care, either way; it's a game for little kids, that's just fun to play on spare time... it doesn't have to be incredibly realistic or anything, IMO. I think it can be quite unrealistic without being terribly butchered *coughcoughunlikesporecoughcough*.

On the other hand, the footage looks epic. I'm very interested in what these sky battles may turn out to be.

The only thing that really bothers me is Talonflame, that is just... no. That name goes against everything Pokemon. On top of that, it doesn't even sound that cool. I'm crossing my fingers, hoping that maybe, just maybe GF will decide on changing it's name, as I actually quite like the design.

"Talonflame"? Really? No, don't get me wrong, I love pretty much everything I'm seeing so far. But...Game Freak decided that the English names would be portmanteaus and puns! That was a decision they made from day one.

Tbh the "fairy" type doesn't bother me, since it sounds like it'll get some pretty badass designs (in favor of irritating chibi pink rodents) but dragons being weak to them does bug me.

I'd be interested in seeing what Chansey and Blissey become if they get retyped as Fairy. If they resist Draco Meteor, and Fairy doesn't have too many weaknesses... I could definitely see them being banned to Ubers. I mean, considering Draco Meteor is practically the defining move of wallbreakers.

Unconfirmed sources claim that Fairy will be weak to both Poison & Steel, while having a Dragon immunity. Dragon, Dark, & Fighting are supposedly weak to it, while Fire & Psychic are resistant.

I would hardly say that Dragons are running rampant. Have you looked at the Ubers list? There's only two non-legendaries, last I checked, neither of which are dragons (Blaziken & Excadrill). The only real addition to dragon types from Gen V that is mattering is Hydreigon, who is hardly OP'd, while most of the rest lessened in use. Really the best dragon right now is Kingdra on a team with Dream World Politoed. Other than that, dragons are rather undermining as of late.

Also, I'd very much disagree with "it's just a game for little kids, fun to play in spare time." Sure, it's marketed to little kids, & made to be fun in your spare time. But you'll note all of the nostalgic/game mechanics changes as of late. Mewtwo Awakened Forme, the addition of a type to balance out the type chart, Horde battles to discourage the catching of a new 'mon in favor of raising one, not to mention the upcoming Butterfree episode in the anime (Yes, Ash's Butterfree from the original series) & Charizard coming back. Pokemon is catering more & more to their older fans, the ones that go to tournaments & actually get money for playing a 'game for little kids.'
Oh, & realism never has & never will have anything to do with Pokemon. It's more a matter of the unrealistic way it was working perfectly, & raging over that being changed into something that has yet to be proven to work perfectly.

EDIT: Oh dear lord that would be all of the murder. inb4 Shuckle gets an evo with crappy stats for no reason other than letting it use Eviolite.
