Pokemon aren't allowed to be evil (which I think is BS since they're supposed to have free will), so it's probably more like order versus chaos.

Also find myself wondering if they will finally introduce a "Light" type for Reshiram.

Then again it could just be another bloody Psychic type.

Or they could do a morality meter (apart from type and friendliness) that casts the legendaries on either end of the scale when you first encounter them.

It doesn't bother me much, but the box art(s) makes them look a little too alike, phisicaly speaking - at least, compared to the likes of Groudon/Kyogre or Dialga/Palkia. But then again, considering the theme they appear to follow, it's possibly intentional.

I actually wholly like their designs which is something I could say of very few Pokémon in gen 4. They're both cool without exaggeration but with a bit of elegance, their designs are memorable and recognisable, but at the same time they show decency and aren't ridiculously ornate. Much better than the ugly legendaries from D/P/D, and they feel closer to earlier more tasteful generations.

In before you and your rival-turned-ally Laozi have to defeat Team Dao at whose head sit the two leaders Wu and Wei who try to get their hands on both Pokémon in order to merge them into one and annihilate human civilisation to make the world a more peaceful and harmonic place for all humans and Pokémon.

Giratina wants to rule or and destroy the world the world in one game, there is evil for you!

But is not one of the regular games, just one of those mistery dungeon thing...

Actually, that was Darkrai. It's the only occasion in the franchise when it's evil, tough.

Not really, Gary said than that "misterious" pokemon was evil, and that pokemon, named Mewtwo wanted to take over the world in the first movie, so the idea of an evil pokemon is almost as old as pokemon itseft.

Only Mewtwo was just frustrated and angry. Ash befriends him just like he does everybody else.

An actually evil Pokemon would be one that can only be stopped by killing it.

Missingno's risk of damaging/crashing the game is actually rather low.

Now, you want evil? Might I interest you in Charizard 'M which spawns all manner of other glitchy Pokémon? Or h POKé and its' neverending cries of freezing crashy doom?

I'd consider all pokemon that mess your hall of fame evil, then vouch for that level 180 Kangashkhan. Or not really. I kind of just wanted to copy/paste the name of #205, PkMnaPkMnfPkMnk, ... as well as point out it has both Hyper Fang and some massive stats.

I agree...but fᴾᴋᴹɴk almost looks like f'*k *mnk if you squint your eyes hard enough and I suppose that would've been uncool for a pokemon site or something.

The M chrarizard doesnt destroy your game, but again, I tended to reset him to level 2 to have him get masive stats...

The safest was using Missingno' to get massive nuggets, so you dont need to beat the elite four and Gary for money, I completed the pokedex in the good old blue just by trading, you cant Mess up the hall of game if you dont have hall of fame yet. Then I used blue to duplicate HMs and stock up HMs in stadium, it was fun. Then using stadium 2 I could atually transfer my duplicated items to yellow, awesome!.

I can't tell what are supposed to be its eyes and what is supposed to be the mouth. Intriguing.

Those new pokemon and typings are pretty ok/cool (even if it does include an overly-girly tapir and a dirty feathered rat), but the female professor is the real news this time. And I can only wonder the kind of hilarity random wi-fi battles will bring.

Also, the map for the new region is basically New York State with less buildings and a lot more green. It's like Al Gore took over Manhattan.

I like that Zebra.

Yep. Bring your immigrant Pokemon past Ellis Island and get them underpaid jobs in NYS.
...what.
Basically just the US equivalent of Magnemite, I suppose.

I love how they put a deserted wasteland over China Town. Oh JAPAN.
