It's post time! For today's blog post, I will be talking about the problem with new Pokemon. Now, I'm not going to be talking about how classic Pokemon are better or anything like that; especially since some of my favorite Pokemon are from the newer generations. Instead, I'll be talking about the issue with new Pokemon being made. Every generation has a lot of new Pokemon. This keeps the series fresh, and helps fans look forward to the new Pokemon they know will be released. However, recently there have been things like regional variants and other new twists on old Pokemon. But why is this? It's partially because it's very difficult to design new Pokemon. New Pokemon can't look too similar to any fan-made designs. This is to avoid accusations of plagiarism, and also to avoid potential lawsuits. But with so many fan designs, it's getting more and more difficult to create brand new fully unique Pokemon. Because of this, sometimes it's easier to just introduce new ways to update some of the original Pokemon. It can be through new evolutions, regional variants, or new in-game mechanics. This may be a bit disappointing to some fans, but it's one of the safest ways to create new Pokemon. Regardless, these are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. I wanted to talk about this because some fans have been questioning the thought process between new Pokemon and remade old Pokemon for a while, and I think this is most likely the answer. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!
