The second they let a Non-Japanese (An American actually) design a pokemon, he comes up with this:

I dunno man, if you gave Renamon hair and changed its colour scheme, you'd have something pretty similar to what Freakenstein just posted. Just saying.

Just for the sake of argument I guess...

Given the rules Strop posted, the similarity would still be 30% at the most....meaning that only a third of the character buildup is strikingly-similar. That's still pretty big, but....

DIGIMON! In this thread that's blasphemy >

What I'm comparing is the artwork. If you pair gen4 and gen1 with the same gradients, then you would have nothing to complain about.


We're comparing everything but the artwork.

I fell in love with pokemon in the great Sapphire/Ruby age when I got Ruby. Nothing lasts forever including love. I stopped playing after some years. Then I got hooked again with Diamond. That died down pretty **** fast. I have recently once again regained my love for Ruby and play it almost daily on my old Game Boy. After reading this thread I decided to look through some of the new pokemon from Black and White,(and maybe some Diamond/Pearl) and compare them to some of my Ruby favorites. These are my results.

First up, Legendaries.

Ruby : Groudon (of course)

Black and White : Zekrom

Next we have starters.

What the hell is this? Here is what a member of joystiq.com said in part of his comment :

"... looks like a sad clown snowman who went to a party only to wake up to find a penis drawn on it's chest."
