Zoroark is meant to be special too. Like Lucario, he has a special story behind him, even if he isn't legendary, and is getting a whole movie made about him.

Sure, but as I said before, I just think his style is very different from the original style. And he may be special (even if he's a "natural" pokemon), but going by the previous couple of gens, not fitting as well seems like a trend. I'm not the only one who thinks this, but I'm sure many disagree. Again, there's a bit of subjectivity involved.
But anyway, I don't see this as a deal breaker or anything, it just doesn't quite feel right to me.

It's just nostalgia that clouds your judgement for each new generation of Pokemon, get over it people. My sole problem with the last one is that there are too many evolutions of previous generation Pokes and too many legendaries. Crappy ones too.

Yeah, I don't use legendaries either so I was sad to see so many of the roster taken up by them. On the other hand some of the evolutions made some really cool pokemon viable, like Mamoswine and Gallade. Actually DP is the best balanced Pokemon has ever been, by far. People forget how fucked up the balance was in Gens 1 and 2. You know out of the first 150 more than 50 were normal, water, and poison? Gen 2 did nothing to correct this, and it wasn't until Gen 3 that they even really tried to balance classes, and not till Gen 4 that there was anything close to real balance. Even now there are some really weak classes like fire, who's only really good pokemon are starters and legendaries, and which is rare in general.

Forget or never knew? Less than 10% of the population can tell what major difference 3rd generation made when attacks were split between Physical and Special. Most people couldn't even tell the difference between 1st and 2nd gen when Sp. Def was effectively introduced. Everyone seems to just look at the designs of the new Pokemon, beat the game (which is criminally easy for obvious reasons), and think they're the very best >_>
PS: Just ask someone who plays regularly Pokemon what STAB is, just for laughs.

Just to be clear, I agree with both of you that the games are actually getting better and more balanced and that it makes a huge difference in the "metagame" and that's great as I always thought that was the best part of pokemon anyways. But that has nothing to do with liking the designs or not. The games do get better and better in just about every other aspect (maybe legendary overload or story repetitiveness aside), all I was saying was that, to me, the pokemon themselves feel more and more generic.
And anyone who played Stadium 2 should know what STAB is :P
