Pokemon X and Y (SPOILERS THREAD)

[mood4food77]

it might be similar to caterpie/weedle in gen 1 where it's way easier to catch one of the pokes over the other depending on which version you have

There were weedles in blue?

I didn't know that

I don't think I ever caught one

 

[The Real Gamer]

Why is Mega Gengar Ghost/Psychic? It was supposed to be the Fairy destroyer...

Now that I actually look at that chart Skrelp is the only new poison type introduced so far (please let his evo be cool GF).

This is why Goomy/Sliggo's final form NEEDS to be Dragon/Poison. It'd be the only Dragon in existence that Fairies couldn't hard counter.

EDIT: Just realized by looking at the type chart that Fairy/Ground provides perfect (non-resisted) coverage. Everything Fairy is ineffective against (Steel, Fire, and Poison) would be smacked by a super effective Ground move. If GF ever makes an offensive Fairy/Ground type it'd be pretty OP.

yea, they're rare while in red, they were common, i know in yellow you can't catch weedle and kakuna at all though

Guys please stop linking pictures from 4chan, upload them to imgur or something because the threads 404 in a matter of hours and the images disappear.

 

[The Real Gamer]

I think everyone saw this coming...

Spoiler

Looks like some sort of final battle... I guess that's one thing I'll appreciate about Megas: they'll definitely make the game much more challenging (assuming you're not using one yourself).

 

[Spire]

I need to see a profile view because as it stands, that looks hilarious. I'm sure it looks fantastic, but the perspective is laughable. Also: I guess you fight on the sun???

 

[mood4food77]

so weather apparently lasts 5 turns, and i mean weather from drought, snow warning, sand stream, and drizzle

and SR might do only 10% to neutral targets

**** got real......again

Kotaku review: http://kotaku.com/pokemon-x-and-y-is-everything-you-wanted-pokemon-to-be-1441044517

As such, you can probably forego using most moves that aren't attacks...not that single-player is boring or anything! I've found myself having to consider the make-up of my team more than in previous Pokemon games, partially because of the balance, and partially because there are a lot of curious new type combinations. Ground-ghost Pokemon? Ground-Fairy Pokemon? Sure!

So I'm pretty much a fortune teller/genius... Guess this pretty much confirms a Fairy/Ground type after all.

 

[Teran]

Can someone please chop the testicles off the dude whose idea Fairy type was?

Clauncher evolution:

Skrelp evolution should be up soon.

EDIT: Skrelp evo!

Sliggo evo!!

[Vashimus]

Like I said above, it's Greninja, Zard X and I against the world. I just WANT a few decent fairies to choose from. The designs for Slurpuff and Aromisse(?) just don't appeal to me at all. Hoping Flabébé's turns out good. If it HAS one.

I swear, the fairies that aren't Sylveon and Xerneas are like the Wormadam and Cherrim of Gen 6. Ugh.

Competitively, things will works things out soon enough.

In-game though, I don't think having a Fairy type is going to be a pre-requisite. You didn't need a Dark or Steel type to get through Gold and Silver, did you?

Also, Nintendo is super-pissed about the leaks. They wanted to keep things a surprise, worldwide releae and all that. But hey, leaks happen eventually.

goomy's 3rd form is announced, no typing yet

Table Pokemon? Almost have my entire dream team of household items/appliances/food complete.

Did you not see the huge wall of text above? >.>

 

[mood4food77]

nope, i did not...apologize

Flabebe final evo!

[mood4food77]

Spoiler

honedge final form

 

[Spire]

Loving all of these, especially Gourgeist. Though if it's capping at 70 new Pokémon, that's an all-time low. Didn't think that Mega Evolutions would take up space.

However, I read on kotaku that there are now 700+ Pokémon. Does that include Mega Evolutions or not? Anyone know?

 

[mood4food77]

well, with the current 67 that aren't megas, we've seen plus the old 649, that's 716 pokes

 

[IsmaR]

I care about quality, not quantity.

 

[The Real Gamer]

Goodra might be my absolute favorite of Gen 6. Willing to bet it's a Dragon/Poison (aka the dragon to take down fairies).

Shame it's most likely the psuedo legendary which means I won't be using it on my initial run through (they take too long to obtain most of the time).

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

Clauncher evolution:

Skrelp evolution should be up soon.

EDIT: Skrelp evo!

Sliggo evo!!

I hate you clauncher for having mega launcher

If you have more moves than Mega Blastoise that use it I'll hate you even more

Also Goomy's final Doesn't look as good as I hoped, BUT I still like it. I still hope it's Dragon/ Fairy. It doesn't look like a water type anymore

 

[#HBC | Laundry]

Electric-type weather is possibly confirmed. Magneton apparently used a move called Electric Terrain, which was described as an electric-type rain dance. **** just got real.

Didn't rain dance already help electric types though with the whole thunder thing?

Love your sig btw lmao

 

[#HBC | Laundry]

Kinda sorta, not to the same extent that Electric Terrain probably would. I'm not too worried about it this gen as I doubt there's a weather setter like Politoed so it'll probably be little more than a gimmick. Next gen, we'll talk.

edit: Thanks! I've seen some hilarious rage while playing stall. That was probably my favorite.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

People are now on the Goodra is Dragon/ Poison thing

But I'm still holding out for Dragon/ Fairy

 

[The Real Gamer]

#TeamDragon/PoisonGoodra

 

[#HBC | Laundry]

I really want Goodra to be Drag/Poison and maintain its great bulk. We need one of these ****ers to be a great defensive option and I'd greatly appreciate it.

This and Aegislash might be everything I've ever dreamed for.

 

[Nintendotard]

All these leaks :D

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

I just can't get excited about a Dragon/ Poison

All I imagine is EARTHQUAKE

 

[mood4food77]

if goodra is dragon/poison and stays a special wall, it has really good synergy with skarmory, like really ****ing good synergy

goodra would resist electric, fire, water, fighting, grass, poison, bug
skarmory resists ground, fairy, grass, bug, dragon, normal, flying, psychic

that's every type that isn't ghost, dark, rock, ice, and fighting, pretty sure you could cover those easily

 

[Banjodorf]

GAH! Goodra is so cool!!! The more I stare at it, the better it gets.

Dragon/Poison is best because no weakness to fairy, and holy crap does poison need more ripping this gen. Also immunity to toxic.

I'll also accept Dragon/Fairy though.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

Apparently people have already figured out Doublade with eviolite is probably going to be better than Aegislash

 

[#HBC | Laundry]

What are Aegislash's stats?

 

[yoonb]

Electric-type weather is possibly confirmed. Magneton apparently used a move called Electric Terrain, which was described as an electric-type rain dance. **** just got real.

Officially confirmed. Holy crap.

 

[mood4food77]

Apparently people have already figured out Doublade with eviolite is probably going to be better than Aegislash

we can't say that yet, aegislash has an attack form as well, i also think aegislash has a ridiculously high base defense (i mean duoblade has base 120)

 

[Pyra]

I'm slightly disappointed honedge's third form isn't roronoa zoro or something.
