They made another comic later on that voices many of our opinions about the new Pokemon.

And I really have to agree with the point that there can only be so many Legendary Pokemon. I don't really care to count them all up cuz I'm that lazy but really, there shouldn't be that many, it takes away from their specialness.

On this note, I fail to see how every couple of years or so they magically discover an additional 100 Pokemon that nobody had ever seen before! I mean its like they all just popped out of the ground or something. And to add to the mystery, they'd been living in the same old areas that trainers had been running around catching Pokemon for years! How did they keep their existance secret for so long and why did they choose to reveal themselves now? We may never know.
I can be sympathetic towards the second 100 for the total of 250 but after that they just kept beating the dead horse in hopes of sucking more money from us.

And that be my complaint about Pokemonz.

Yeah, I wasn't so keen on them putting quite so many Legendaries into D/P. Since Dialga and Palkia are so good they should have probably made them harder to catch and had less others.

In answer to Lachesis' point, it is explained in the games that the new uber God pokemon have the power lowered hugely when they are caught in a pokeball. The reason they're easy to catch is because they "seem to challenge you" to do so, as I think someone says at the time.

"Legendaries" like the Bird trio and the Dog Trio and the Latis and Heatran aren't meant to be all that special and unique, just being especially powerful and rare species. (The Pokedex talks about herds of Latias, after all.) Whereas it's only Pokemon like Ho-oh and Groudon and Rayquaza and Dialga and Palkia and Arceus that should really be considered special "legendary" in the almost-divinely-legendary-specie-sense. Looking at it this way should make the legendary setup more reasonable to folks like Swim and Deadbeard.

BTW Swim: But if I'm totally willing to spend my money on the modern Pokemon stuff because I honestly prefer it to the old stuff, then no sin can be objectively stated to have been committed by the Pokemon company. :/

And does it matter if there being 100 new creatures spontaneously introduced every four years or so doesn't sound plausible from a story perspective? Obviously Pokemon isn't about story, it's about creature designs themselves and the balanced beam attacks they project at each other. Whenever there's a new crop of 100 creature designs it's just plain HELLA entertaining; it'd be a lot less fun and interesting if they somehow had a system where a new Pokemon is introduced every two weeks since the franchise's inception.

What is the total number of Pokemon species the Appreciator hopes this superb franchise will eventually have?

It's OVER 1000!!!
:D :D :D :D
