This article claims that 134 new pokemon were introduced, bringing the new total to 386. Now I'm sure there were 251 pokemon in Generation II, so surely this means there were 135 new pokemon?

== Change is 'style' ==
I'm not sure if anyone has openly stated this or discussed it. It just seems to be obvious to me and a couple of my friends that the Pokemon art styles and the way they look and feel has changed dramatically since Generation 3. The individual chracters seem to be in a different style. I am one of the people who are old enough to remember the good old days when there were just 150 Pokemon (latter, 151). Then Generation 2 was brought out and you adapted quickly to the new names and features. But Generation 3...I dunno, it just seemed to break a barrier and I'm pretty sure it's due to the new Pokemon 'style'. The art changed. The way things were done. Maybe they were just modernized. It's even more evident in Genration 4.
In fact, the differences between Generation 1 and later releases have turned one of my friends off the games. She'll only play Red, Blue (or FireRed and LeafGreen).
Maybe it's silly. Maybe if a Gen 4 Pokemon was taken back in time and released with Gen 1, I wouldn't have noticed the difference between it and the other 151.
Am I being stupid or did Gen 3 change things? [[User:Bttsstewart|Bttsstewart]] 15:52, 18 December 2008 (UTC)
