Given that Kalos is based on a country in Europe, the home of Fairy Tales, it is perhaps fitting that Generation 6 introduces the Fairy type to the game. You can also adjust the fur of the Pokemon Furfrou into 7 different fancy styles. However, that isn’t the only thing you can customize. First, this is the first game where you can customize the player’s appearance, with different clothes, hair, etc.
#SID MEIERS STARSHIPS GENE4ROSITY MOVIE#
Many other characters also play into this theme – Valerie, a gym leader, is also a fashion designer, while Grant is a style icon who set a new trend with his hairstyle and the champion Diantha is a famous movie star.Īside from various characters being concerned with beauty or having very stylish jobs, this theme also fits into the games mechanically in a few different ways. The evil team of this region is team Flare, whose evil goal is to create a beautiful world by destroying everything that they consider “ugly”. In addition to being based on France, the Kalos region also has a theme of “beauty”. It just would have evened things out a bit, ya know? Gen 6 also only introduces a single family of Bug type Pokemon, so it could use a few more, and it only has a single trio of Legendary Pokemon while Gen 5 has 3. Gen 6, on the other hand, introduces the fewest with only 72. Gen 5 had the most new Pokemon of any generation with 156. Not only would it make sense thematically, but it would also have helped Gen 6 significantly. The former group is themed after European knights and snails, which would be much more thematic for a French inspired region than a New York inspired one, and the latter group is literally based on the Three Musketeers – a French Novel. Not to get too side-tracked, but there are a handful of Gen 5 Pokemon that I always feel should have belonged to Gen 6 instead – particularly Karrablast, Escavalier, Shelmet, Accelgor, and the Musketeers Terrakion, Coballion, Virizion, and Keldeo. These include Aegislash, Furfrou, Aromatisse, Slurpuff and Delphox. However, unlike the previous generation it is still possible to find Pokemon from previous regions in the Kalos region, despite the fact that it takes place on an entirely separate continent.īeing based on France does present the opportunity for a number of new French themed Pokemon designs, however, or even designs that simply have a European flair. Continuing with the trend started last generation of exploring areas outside of Japan, the Kalos region is based on France. Let’s begin by talking about the new Region that players get to explore – the Kalos region. With that out of the way, let’s talk Pokemon design. This channel is still small, but we are growing and are almost to 500 subscribers! We are so close guys! If you could drop a like on this video, subscribe, or even share these videos with a friend to help us get over that hurdle I would be so grateful. With school and work it can be difficult to find time to work on these videos, but the fact that people like you actually choose to watch the stuff I make makes it all worth it. We will also be looking at the new mechanics, technological improvements, and themes of these games to see how they have influenced the design of Pokemon in this generation.īefore we jump into that, however, I just want to say thank you to everybody watching this. As always we will be looking at the designs of Pokemon in this generation to see their common trends and motifs, and explore how the Pokemon designs have changed since previous generations. We are back once again with another installment of the Evolution of Pokemon Design series, this time talking about Gen 6. What’s up designers, and welcome back to Rempton Games.
