| As some of you may know, I already HAVE a Pokémon reviewing thread.
Well, that's been on hold for a long time... I don't have much motivation or inclination to continue that thread any time soon.
Besides, I was reviewing Pokémon from the 90's! I say I should get with the times and start reviewing Pokémon that came out the most recently, namely generation five!
So without further ado, let us begin the Pokémon Idol, season five!
I will edit this post later so I can do every Pokémon (I can't do them all at once after all) When I'm finished with all the Pokémon from generation five, I request that this thread be merged with my older thread.

| This time, the three judges (Jaco, jefferlope, and Supa) will all post in this thread discussing what Pokémon deserves what rating. Anyone else can vote, too, but only Supa's, jeff's, and my votes will count in the long run. | |

| So, do you want us to list like 1-20 or something now and wait for all three of us to post? | |

| I was thinking we would do it just like we did back in BR, where jeffer would announce the Pokémon, and we would all discuss it, rate it, and move on to the next.
That would be kinda slow, though... I agree with your idea, jeff, but I think it'll be like this:
A template will be posted, and you are all to type within that template and give your own review of the Pokémon. When everyone is done filling out the template, I shall average our scores between us.
We shall go by 10s, I think. Agreed? And questions? | |

| Did you forget about the time when it was Me you and Ice instead? Because you didn't want to wait for supa and jeff to review the pokemon in gen 5.
AND there should be a second opinion thing. I don't think it sounds nice by saying "Only Mine, Jeff's and Supa's votes will count." | |

| Yeah, but I don't have to wait anymore now.
And sure, sure, I think we can have a seperate average for users other than the judges as well. The reason I don't want to average anyone else but ours' is because it would be very hard to keep track of... Well, maybe not, but still.
I'll see what I can do. | |

| - #494 Victini:
I think Victini is a pretty cool Pokemon. But it seems kind of cheap, ensuring victory and all. 8/10
- #495 Snivy:
I love Snivy! It's expression just says "I'm better than you, deal with it." 9/10
- #496 Servine:
Hmm.. When Snivy evolves.. it loses it's snoody rich guy expression! It doesn't look bad.. but It's not that great. 7.5/10
- #497 Serperior:
Now we're talking! First of all, I LOVE it's name. And it looks like a king! Now his expression says: "I'm better than you, so deal with it.. peasant." 9.5/10
- #498 Tepig:
Ugh, this is where my ratings are gonna get low. Tepig isn't so bad. Weird pig rabbit thing.. But it is creative at least, unlike a lot of Pokemon that are based straight off animals. 8/10
- #499 Pignite:
...It looks like a wrestler. The pig rabbit turned into a WRESTLER pig rabbit. What? 6/10
- #500 Emboar:
I'm not exactly sure what I'm looking at. But I like the pun in the name. 7/10
- #501 Oshawott:
It's like a teddy bear. Don't we already have a teddy bear Pokemon? 7/10
- #502 Dewott:
Okay, this one looks kinda cool. Samurai otter? 8.5/10
- #503 Samurott:
Umm.. FrenchToast1 from TSG summed this one up pretty nicely. "..the final evolution is fish Dialga.". 6/10

| - #494 Victini:
I've been on and off with this guy. I kinda liked him at first. Then, when I learned he was a legendary Pokémon, I despised him. But I'm kinda getting used to the idea. My score: 7
- #495 Snivy:
In my opinion, this is the only good starter (Tepig is decent, but no cigar). He looks like a mixture of Cyndaquil and Treecko, my two OTHER favorite starters. My score: 8.5
- #496 Servine:
Not much happened to Snivy, huh? He just got taller... And that's pretty much it. Can't really say much about him. My score: 7.5
- #497 Serperior:
Not the best final form of a starter, in my opinion... Past generations had excellent ones like Blaziken and Feraligatr. Serperior sets a low standard for the rest of the evolutions for me... I have to note that he IS the best out of the three, however. My score: 7.5
- #498 Tepig:
Mixture of Pikachu and Rattata, with some Fire-type mixed in. I really didn't like him at first, but I think he's average now that I've got used to it. My score: 7
- #499 Pignite:
Wow. Reminds me of that annoying fat kid in school who thought he was cool because he was a wrestler. Actually, I never knew someone like that... But the fact that this Pokémon exists makes me think that I once did. My score: 6
- #500 Emboar:
There's way too much going on in this guy's design... Whatever happened to simple, mono-color designs, like Charizard and Typhlosion? Emboar is a bit too flashy for my taste. That, and he looks like Magmortar's daddy. My score: 6.5
- #501 Oshawott:
No. No. In the past, I have frequently expressed my displeasure of this Pokémon, comparing it to two things: An old man version of Piplup, or a shaved version of Piplup. Unoriginal design at it's finest. My score: 3
- #502 Dewott:
Hey, what a big improvement! This guy definitely makes up for Oshawott's lameness. I like the color, especially. My score: 8.5
- #503 Samurott:
...How does an otter evolve into THAT!? That has been the common question involving this Pokémon, and it's perfectly legitimate. How DOES that work? It makes no sense. I'd like it better if this was Lapras's evolution, but no. My score: 6 | |

| I knew jaco was going to go "Uh... I don't feel like doing all the other pokemon, but I want to review the 5th gen!!! SKIP AND REVIEW" lol.
Though jeff is a bad judge, all but one of the reviews are one-liners?
Wait what? Lapras evolution? I don't think that fits, I even think Lapras is bigger lol. | |

| Eh, I don't know. These are sort of "first impression" reviews, mixed in with what I think about them now.
I also prefer to keep them all short and sweet... It simplifies things even more, I think. | |

| Jeff? Sweet? LOLjk
EDIT: BTW You should probably do this on the future:
(Supa's Score + Jeff's Score + Jaco's Score + Avarage Score of Users)/4
Or just + Every Users' vote lol | |

| By "users", do you mean jeff, Supa, and I? If so, I was already planning on that. If you meant everyone, I mentioned that I was going to try and do that, but it would slow the process down a bit, because I'd have to wait for every body to review them. | |

| I think I was pretty fair in my judgment. If you think I was over critical, I am sorry, I tried my best not to be. - #494 Victini:
I don’t know what to think of this Pokemon, the giant v like ears kind of a bit goofy to me. I do like the colors used however, they make the Pokemon stand out. =6.5
- #495 Snivy:
A leaf-like tail… how original.. Nah, jk. This Pokemon actually looks pretty good, very hip and fashionable; and is it just me or does it look like it should have been the fire starter? I mean recolor him orange and tell me it isn’t a fire starter. =8
- #496 Servine:
This evolution looks pretty awesome to say the least… It resembles one of my favorite Pokemon of all time Charmeleon; that’s always good right? However, I’m not digging the cluster of leaves on its back leading to its tail. =9
- #497 Serperior:
Serperior to who? I’m sorry, but this final form is a bit of a let down.. I was really diggin Servine over there, but this guy looks like a “De-evolution” Instead of gaining limbs, it’s losing them. I will say that this Pokemon does look powerful, but it also looks defenseless with the lack of limb’ness. =6
- #498 Tepig:
Ah, the fire type of the 5th Generation, Always preferred playing with fire... He looks pretty cute I suppose, not too complicated which sort of reminds me of generation 1 and 2. However, he seems a little out of place because he is in a generation of Pokemon who look more complex, while he is rather simplified. (On a side note, is it just me or does he looks like a bandit/robber working for team rocket?) Anyways, still like him so… =7.5
- #499 Pignite:
Ooooo.. someone has been lifting! It's pretty original for a second evolution, and it has become more complex as well. It looks like this could be the final form almost.. One thing though, I don’t really like the overall body type, it’s a little too round for my taste. =7
- #500 Emboar:
Oh dear me... I have no idea what is going on here.. so much potential totally thrown out of the window and overblown.. Are we playing Digimon or Pokemon here? Way too much going on for me, the Pokemon is completely lost in this thing. So much so that I would probably not want to evolve my Emboar. =5 (The lowest score I will give a starter class)
- #501 Oshawott:
What the heck is on his stomach lol? That is either a shell or a hilarious joke by Gamefreak. Hmm.. This Pokemon, it's sorta depressing to look at. The colors are kind of wacky on the eyes and they just aren’t appealing to me. It’s a overall package of depressing and unappealing wrapped into one! =5.5
- #502 Dewott:
I like this form a lot better. It looks like this Pokemon could go toe to toe with almost anyone. However, I wish they used a different color for the body. The blue with blue again looks wacky. And what the heck is sticking out of it’s head? I’d get that checked.. Besides all that, do like this Pokemon. =7
- #503 Samurott:
Oh dear… not another Digimon. Again, a complete waste of potential. I could totally see this Pokemon as a legendary, but it has no place here. Almost no traits are carried over from it’s past forms, making it isolated and unrecognizable in it’s own group. =5

| Dude, great reviews... Only two lines of text for each of them, but each contained well-thought out opinions, for the most part. I was honestly expecting stuff like "PFFT! THIS GUY OWNZ, JUST LOOK AT DEM PECKS!!!" Or something like that Well, I'll begin the averaging, and then create the next template. I'm surprised no other people participated... Was it perhaps that there was no prospect of their rating being averaged in with the original three judges? Or are you all making yours right now? Either way, I'll go do the things I previously mentioned. (PS: Now that we're done with the starters, this is really gonna get fun. I always think the starters are the most boring Pokémon to review for some reason. Probably because there's only three Pokémon familes out of NINE Pokémon) | |
