Pokemon X and Y confirmed

[Zero]

I appreciate the effort Neerb but I'm well aware of the Norse inspiration. /vp/ won't shut up about it.

I'm just saying that they missed a good opportunity and its true.

Also the dark type has nothing to do with the afterlife. It's literally just "Evil" type in japan.

These are my potential Gen 6 exclusive team members. I plan to have 5 of the regular ones and one Mega, of course.

I guess makes sense too; evil and death are associated pretty often, and the dex makes it seem like a soul-sucking monster phoenix.

Yeah it still makes sense.

I like how most of us really like Dragalge. Sweet.

i hate it's design. i was really disappointed that skrelp was my exclusive

but god dangit dragon/poison is cool

He looks freaking amazing; the typing is just a bonus. He's the Y-exclusive sea creature, by the way; his X version parallel is Clawitzer, who admittedly is pretty awesome in his own right.

Well... I guess that's just the opposite of what I said now isn't it.

I know Reddit is flipping about that typing, though. Personally I don't see the big deal; it's unique, yay.

there's barely 6 new pokemon worth using, of course there's going to be a lot of overlap.

[The Riddler]

relatively wide range of defense.

1/2x Electric, Fire,  Water, Bug, Fighting, Poison
1/4x Grass
2x Dragon, Ice, Ground, Psychic

weakness to fairy removed by poison type

I never decide which Pokemon to use beforehand, I like not knowing who will end up in my team when I'm playing the game. I like Braixen a lot but I've since started to like Chesnaught so I'll be picking Chespin.

Others I like and at least want to try out in my team, off the top of my head, would be:

Gourgeist
Meowstic (female)
Spritzee (won't evolve it)
Phantump (MAYBE Trevenant)
Pangoro
Klefki
uHHH Dragalge
Sliggoo/Goodra

oh come on that's subjective

[Neerb]

oh come on that's subjective

There are very few of them and almost none of them will be usable post-game and several of them look under-evolved or just ugly.

It's subjective, but not by too much.

"Almost none of them will be usable post-game"

what? Are you intercourse ing kidding me? If I can win Pokemon World Tournaments in BW2 with my Pidgeot then theres no reason you can't just use what you want. It's not like you have to use Dedenne. Shit.

Technique and Ability notes:

- Hidden Power now has a set strength of 60 BP. Type is still determined by IVs, though.
- Thunder, Blizzard, and Fire Blast have been nerfed to 110 BP.
- Weather-inducing abilities, such as Sand Stream, Snow Warning, Drizzle, and Drought, now last 5 turns instead of the entire match.
- Mega Gardevoir has an ability that changes Normal moves to Fairy type, and Aurorus has a similar ability that changes Normal moves to Ice type. It is speculated that this ability exists in other types as well. Also, Mega Gardevoir's Normal-to-Fairy ability is called "Pixilate," which is the best thing I've ever heard.
- Frost Breath, the always-crit Ice move, has been boosted from 40 BP to 60 BP.
