With a game like Pokemon I think appearance does factor into things. It's not like people where there is limitless depth/potential. I find it hard to believe that most people play pokemon games and choose pokemon regardless of looks (although this can also apply to how people judge in real life too). I also did state that nothing I claim is definite because i havn't tried it yet either.
The act of excluding all pokemon from previous generation untill the main game is beaten I think was also a kick in the pants news. Yes it makes you adapt to the new pokemon more but wasn't the disconnection with older generations one of the reasons why Gen III is considered bad by some people?
Thank God wi-fi has allowed less exclusive events but another question, why would you use an such a strong pokemon right from the start wouldn't that take away from the challenge/fun of the game? Unless of course you are completely in love with the look over other fire or psychic types then I understand. Anyways this is probably getting off topic so i'll read rather then write more unless i get the game and have a more conclusive opinion/input
