Anyone Catching up to the latest pokemon XY news?

whitefire • 7 July 2013 at 8:09 PM

@LoneWolf
I'm kinda wondering about Fennikin. I mean, how much regal-looking you make a fox look? I just hope they don't turn it into a wolf, as much as I'd like to see a wolf Pokemon.

lonewolf • 8 July 2013 at 11:43 PM

@whitefire

I agree. They can't turn it into a wolf. I'm guessing they'll probably make it look like a wolf/fox mix of some sort.
Hopefully someday they make a wolf Pokemon. Odds are it'll end up being my favorite Pokemon.

akira • 8 July 2013 at 11:45 PM

Has anyone heard of Honedge yet? .w.

eggs • 9 July 2013 at 2:03 AM

@lonewolf

Yep, i'm also waiting for a wolf to come out soon 😸 Let's hope it doesn't look disastrous or wacky 😋

@akira

Totally! When I saw it this was my expression:

o________________o

Oh dear. Do swords even count as pokemon?

akira • 9 July 2013 at 2:06 AM

@eggs

Lol, IKR? XD I hated it at first. But I kind of like the whole 'Ghost Sword thing'. But yes, I agree. XD It seems more and more inanimate objects are becoming Poke'mon. XD

eggs • 9 July 2013 at 2:17 AM

@akira

Exactly! Do you know the gear thingy and the ice-cream in gen 5? xD

whitefire • 9 July 2013 at 7:58 AM

@Eggs
Those are Klink and Vannilite.

@Lonewolf
Probably, and yeah. Wolves are my favourite animals as well, so unless they goof it up somehow, then it'll probably be my favourite Pokemon as well.

rabbitwanter • 10 July 2013 at 3:18 PM

i am most excited for the nintendogs-like feature where you can pet your pokemon and play with them :'D

chowchow2012 • 10 July 2013 at 4:10 PM

I'm not even kidding guys but my latest version of Pokemon is actually Fire Red for game boy.

I agree with all the inanimate objects being Pokemon, I can't actually imagine like a gear going "tackle!" XD

gwaine • 10 July 2013 at 4:13 PM

@rabbitwanter
😱 I agree. It's going to be very cool. And apparently it will strength the bond with your pokemon more, so that's always nice. 8D

lonewolf • 10 July 2013 at 4:30 PM

@whitefire
@eggs

What do you guys think of the new look- the new graphics? It doesn't look like Pokemon anymore. It looks like The Sims for the DS. I'm not sure what to think of it.

whitefire • 10 July 2013 at 4:36 PM

@Lonewolf
I definitely like the older versions better. I mean, it's great that it's 3D and all, but the old graphics were just so... so... I don't quite know how to put it, but I just liked them a lot better.

gwaine • 10 July 2013 at 7:37 PM

@lonewolf
@whitefire
I also love the older graphics, but I do understand why they changed it to 3D.
Mainly because of the 3DS, but also because I think they want to appeal to the newer generation of kids who have been raised on better graphic games. Which can be a shock to us, but I find it smart for them changing up the graphics to appeal to new people. Although I also loved the older graphics better.
I think the word you were looking for was that they were so simple. 😉 Because they were. Yet still refreshing.

eggs • 11 July 2013 at 1:50 AM

@rabbitwanter

Me too! 😸 Imagine playing with Dialga or something o3o

@chowchow2012

Oh wow... 😋 I'm only one generation ahead of you. I lost my DS when B&W came out T-T

And for the gears going 'tackle', imagine an ice-cream trying to punch someone 😋

@lonewolf

I actually do like the new graphics! 😸 It seems cool that pokemon would try new angles and graphics, and I think i'd better know more about it before giving my opinions 😃

takaedakumi • 11 July 2013 at 10:18 AM

In case anyone was confused about Honedge, it's not a sword, the Pokemon isn't meant to be. It's a ghost Pokemon POSSESSING a sword. Makes more sense that way doesn't it? You people are seeing a sword and saying "OMG WHY DO THEY DO THIS? SWORDS AREN'T SUPPOSED TO BE POKEMON" That's right, but did you actually look into it? Because it isn't one.

I personally think it's an interesting idea, especially since there will be a time when they won't have enough animals to NOT reuse them, so if they make all the Pokemon off of just animals, what content will they have reserved for new games?

Ending my rant, I'd just like to say that Talonflame is the absolute most ridiculous name in the entire series and a disappointment after seeing that Fletchling was such a unique and cute first form.

lonewolf • 16 July 2013 at 3:43 AM

@whitefire
@eggs

Agreed, Whitefire. The graphics were just- Pokemon. Dunno how to explain it, but the graphics kinda "defined" Pokemon in a sense. Now it looks unrecognizable- I first saw a picture and no clue what it was- I thought it was a fake screenshot of X&Y. Turns out it's real- haha.

whitefire • 31 July 2013 at 5:03 PM

@Lonewolf
@Eggs

Guess what I just learned? They're making two new Pokemon that are modeled after...
wait for it...

FOOD! There's a bag of chips and a sushi roll. SERIOUSLY??? I'm not even gonna get these games. This just... I'm disappointed beyond words.

However, there's a rumour about another Eeveelution coming out--Poison-typed.

tarepanda • 31 July 2013 at 6:46 PM

@whitefire @lonewolf

A poison type Eeveelution would be so awesome! I personally love poison types but they haven't had any well balanced ones lately. Although I have to wonder how they're going to evolve them though lol, glaceon and leafeon were already pretty specific in where you have to be XD

Sushi roll and chip bags are really odd ideas... I mean we already kind of have to turn a blind eye to "what kind of meat do they eat in Pokemon?" and designing pokemon after food is kind of asking for it XD

I am also really hoping Fennekin turns out awesome lol, I love fire starters 😊

whitefire • 31 July 2013 at 9:21 PM

@TarePanda

I agree that a Poison-typed Eeveelution would be cool, but I'd personally like to see a Flying-type. I'm glad Sylveon wasn't, by the way. That would've sucked.

Well, not all people eat meat. I, for one, am vegetarian. But more to the point, if you pay attention in the Farfetch'd episode, it says they eat Farfetch'd.

I've heard rumours that Fennikin turns out Fire/Psychic.

eggs • 31 July 2013 at 10:54 PM

@whitefire

Sushi and a bag of chips?

Herro! I am Sushee. I can be your future pokemon buddy. I can throw my sashimis splat in the center of my foes faces!

tarepanda • 31 July 2013 at 11:02 PM

@whitefire

I must have blanked that episode out from my memory lol

A flying-type would be awesome, I always have to have one in my party for Fly. I'd like to know more info on fairy types if it's going to be super effective against dragon types, I love dragon types.

I guess it would make sense if Fennikin is fire/psychic, since it's a fox. I hope the evolved design goes for a Ninetails sort of elegant look 😊

@eggs
People can now customize their character 😃 For example changing clothes!!!
Also, you can now interact with your pokemon more! XD

univea • 1 August 2013 at 12:01 AM

I think that the Pokemon designs are getting kind of old, but as long as the keep making games I'll keep playing them. It's pretty addictive. 😊 I'm kinda okay with Fairy Type, and I like how you have more freedom with customizing your character. Pokemon-Amie reminds me of playing with my Spirits I Kingdom Hearts 3D, but not as cool, and my inner camera on my 3DS is scratched so I couldn't do the facial expressions. The Pokemon Gym concepts are kind of lame considering there's not much change. The way you have friends going on the same journey as well is nice, but I don't like their designs much. Anyway I'll be getting X.

Team Flare = Seen it all before
Photo Spots = Neat, reminds me of HG and SS
Horde Encounters/Sky Battles = Cool
Professor Sycamore = I don't like him. I don't care if he's nice. I just don't like him and that's that.
New starters = Awesome. I ❤️ Chespin
PSS = Meh.

Kinda seems like X is more focused towards girls. The mascot and the Pokemon exclusive to that version made me think that. They're more cute that the ones from Y. But then again... it is the Genetic Generation, right? Or have they changed that too?

The next new game (this one. lol) hasn't come out yet and my sister and I are already speculating about the next NEXT new game. We think it will take place in Sinnoh and that Dialga and Palkia will... get new forms. (I do not support this BTW. We're just gathering info and making guesses. I think that's why they're being given out as shiny Pokemon, but it's a little soon, isn't it? This game doesn't take place in Sinnoh though, so it can't be for it.) I'm not saying this is true. Our creativeness is overwhelming. X3

tarepanda • 1 August 2013 at 1:00 AM

@skyhealeroftheskies

I've always thought it was weird how little interaction you have with your pokemon. I mean only Yellow and SS/HG had walking pokemons ☹️

I've always thought one of the appeals was the whole, raise your pokemon and interacting with them. Any added interaction is good 😃 I'd love to have a place where your entire party is on screen and you can watch them interact with each other lol

Deleted • 1 August 2013 at 3:05 AM

@tarepanda
So far that is the part that I am the most excited about besides Sylveon XD I love all Eevee evolutions but my favorite pokemon is Eevee itself

I love interacting with pokemon,it feels as if you are really connecting when you do but in previous games there were few ways you can do that,so yeah I think its an awesome improvement 😃

lonewolf • 2 August 2013 at 3:17 AM

@whitefire
@tarepanda


I can't believe it. Food.... yeah definitely not going to preorder it. Not even gonna get it unless 99% of fans are saying it's amazing or something- which I highly doubt.

They're going to have evolutions for the evolutions of Eevee? Ugh- I feel like they're going way too far now.

Deleted • 2 August 2013 at 3:21 AM

I think I might've mixed up that sentence into that they're going to have evolutions. It's pretty late here hahaha- so I'm hoping that means something else and my sleepy head will understand soon enough.

whitefire • 2 August 2013 at 11:30 AM

@BlueWolf
@LoneWolf

No, not eeveelution-evolutions, just more eeveelutions. There's the Fairy-type (bleeehhh) Sylveon, and the rumoured Poison-type, Toxeon. So you don't have to worry.

I don't much like the new style either. To be honest, I preferred the graphics of HG/SS. They were clean and, well, just so... I don't know how to describe it, but they were amazing. Pokemon Black, White, and Black/White 2 had nice graphics, but it seemed so foreign. It was nice that the Pokemon moved and all, and it was a bit more realistic, but I'd gladly trade all of that in for the simplicity and beauty of HG/SS. I loved how the Pokemon walked with you, and you could talk with them, and I loved the Safari Zone, and the music, and the plot.

I'm not surprised about the sushi and chips, but it really makes no sense. They're ruining Pokemon and its legacy by creating such... random things. The gear Pokemon, Klink, was taking it too far in my opinion, and Vannilite was just... No. Magnemite was, in my opinion, a little Farfetch'd, but it still seemed like a real Pokemon. Same with Muk and Grimer. But these new ones... they seem like something you'd find in a wannabe–Pokemon spoof.

okami • 2 August 2013 at 12:51 PM

@whitefire

Ah, I see, that's good. A poison-type eeveelutions sounds like it'd be pretty cool. I'd rather have a rock/ground type though.

And yeah, the item based Pokémon were fine the first generation (I mean it's the first, c'mon), but now it's just kind of ridiculous. Makes them seem desperate for ideas.

I think it'd be cool if they made a generation based entirely off of Pokémon that regular people have made. I always see these really cool ideas for Pokémon and it would be neat to actually see some of them in a game. I don't know how they'd do that, maybe just put the persons name in the credits... it'd still be great though.
