Pokemon X & Y (October 2013 on 3DS) - [Now out! Go out and play it already]

[Celestia]

I like it, actually. It'll probably be tweaked before release but as it is, it looks fine to me. I'm happy to see sprites are still around, too, though I didn't really doubt they would be.

[Solkia]

The bottom screen menu shit was stupid to begin with, but I guess they felt they had to make use of it when Gen 4 came.

 

I think it looks fine. It can't get any worse than Pokemon Stadium's interface.

What if... they introduced pokemon combinations? In the day care, you have all kinds of different pokemon that could, ahemhavesexwitheachotherahem but what if they could make the offspring a combination of both? Listing the positives and negatives; The Pokemon could learn everything the parents could. However, they cannot breed. Their base stats are adveraged between eachother. Of course, some stats would be a plus, others would suck. The pokemon could also have two abilities. of course, stuff like intimidate + multiscale. But still, there are a lot of cheap tricks already. The pokemon would also evolve at either one evolution or the other. Meaning if you need a fire stone for one, and level 20 for the other, then that would be random. Of course, the typing would be random too. The sprite would be the same no matter how many times you try to make offsprings. Meaning there are only one kind of venusaur + charizard, and not two.

Now before you go insane for perfect IVs, what if they just disappeared in the next gen? Poof, 31 possible stat points gone.

How about it?

Pokemon fusions? No.

[Solkia]

Cross-breading in Pokemon would set an awful message. It's bad enough the AKC does it irl.

 

Then again, we can already make a fucking cat mate with a blue whale, so I guess logistics are moot at this point.

[kadapunny]

oh well ._. it was a thought... Some fusions wouldn't be that bad...

[Tori Himemiya]

We already have the Kyurem forms for that regardless.

I doubt Gamefreak would make it less unique by making everyone else able to fuse.

That's a pretty cool 3DS game card case. I guess I'm buying Pokemon Y from GAME! I really hope that the event will take place at my local GAME.

Oh great, the UK gets a cute little Pokeball-shaped 3DS card holder. What do people in the US get? A poster. Yeah, I'd rather have the card holder. =|

On a small separate note. I use to be able to draw that Pikachu in the 4th grade

First official image of Oorotto.

Yep, still reminds of KIU's Urgel.

I'm very impressed with the forest background btw. It looks really nice.

[Soniman]

That is impressive indeed.

 

Also, hey 151 pages! We have reached Gen 1 numbers folks, get hype!!

[Ravenfreak]

Some people think Oorotto sort of resembles Wood Mon from Digimon but I don't see it except for the fact that it's a tree like Pokemon and Wood Mon is a tree like Digimon. :V Anyway I'm sort of stoked for the new games, but I think they introduced a new type a bit too late into the franchise. I feel that if Dragon type truly is as powerful as they say it is the new type should have been introduced in Gen 3 and I would have been alright with it. I get that Pokemon will be around for a while after Gen 6, but I think the leap from introducing new types from Gen 2 to Gen 6 is too far. I personally think that fighting type is too powerful, it's strong against like 5 different types and it needs a new weakness. >_> Anyway i'll be getting Y because I like Yvetal better. :3 Still deciding on who I will pick for my starter when it does come out but it's a tie between Fennekin and Chespin.

From the Japanese eShop Trailer

[LATER BUDDY]

That new tree is kinda meh for me. I was excited for it at first but I guess seeing it now just lost my interest a bit. It's possibly due to how tiny they look all grouped up like that, so maybe a 1 on 1 battle will make it look a little more intense, but *shrugs*. Kinda hope it evolves into a bulkier looking thing.

 

Other than that just more footage to refresh my excitement for the game, so yay! I hope we get some specific details soon about certain things, such as fairy strengths/weaknesses, that bad team of thugs, how aerial battles work exactly, etc.

[Solkia]

Did I just see Fennekin use a Fighting-type move?

[Dantemustdie00]

Huh, Orotto is a lot smaller than I thought it be, I was expecting them to be rather tall unless they got a evolution.

[SenEDDtor Missile]

Did I just see Fennekin use a Fighting-type move?

Looked like Fire Punch.

[Solkia]

wtf

 

punch with what, his paw?

[Dantemustdie00]

Did I just see Fennekin use a Fighting-type move?

Don't jinx us yet, wait for the english trailer or a translation of the move used.

 

Through if it is Fire Punch or another punch move, that would be rather weird cause Fennekin is on all fours, unless it stands up similar to Purrloin., I remember being shocked when I saw it stand up on 2 legs in the anime.

 

Tepig and Torchic can't learn any fighting type moves without evolving first.

 

 

Who knows, it may be a new move too (something that would be good for Flareon I hope since that pokemon has such a lackluster move pool anyway of strong physical attacks).

This cuteness

 

I cannot

 

HANDLE AAAA

 

But yeah, idk, I don't think they'd do fire/fighting again, it could just be Fire Punch or him able to learn a fighting type move randomly. I'd like to think it'd learn Fire Fang over Fire Punch though.
