Pokémon X and Y (and Another Pokémon Poll)

Because if they don't they're not that special.

Did the Zelda one come with the game?

I'm not sure but it should have.

Yeah I had the Zelda 3DS which came with the game.

After seeing pokemon direct, I did a little thinking on mega evolutions.

While at first I was apprehensive I now believe that it will add a deeper layer of strategy to the game. My reason for thinking this is that mega evolutions can change the type and ability of the pokemon.

Take Venusaur for example, while I might not be completely accurate, his ability changes to thick fat upon mega evolution. thick fat reduces damage from fire and ice attacks, which just so happen to be Venusaurs weaknesses.

The potential of this aspect of the game is great.

Venasaur is going to be pretty tough to deal with to be honest.  The fact mega evolutions don't take effect until the battle starts means the opponent can make you think they're going to be carrying the deadly Sunny Day team set (capable of disemboweling a team not prepared for it) or a horrifically bulky set that you'll need a really strong psychic attack to deal with.  I'm honestly a little worried about this, if you guess wrong the thing is going to cause huge damage to a team.  

All up I like the idea of these mega evolutions, as it has the potential to make Pokemon that have long since lost their relevance in the game relevant again.


Update Breaking News from Corocoro and rumours!

Hidden for those that like their games blind, includes Fairy type info:

So yeah. Take that with a bit of a pinch of salt, but it looks good I must say.

New Pics:

Starters:

Garchomp:

Mewtwo :

*sees starters*  Umm...  hmm...  well, um, they at least look unique?  Also that garchomp, I do not like it.  I think.  I shall raise one and I shall nickname it Overkill. I like Mewtwo's new form though.

Don't go much on Chespin's evolution, hope it's final is better as that is going to be my starter on my main game mainly as I will be using the Torchic and will be getting Squirtle

Those evolutions for the starters are pretty bad. Froakie's is okay, I guess.

Chespin ate all the pies.

Spoiler:

Fenniken's isn't bad in fact I think its even slightly better then Froakies (kinda looks like Lucario to an extent), but like I said Chespin ain't so great.

So they finally made a T-rex and Lion Pokemon, it's about time I have to say.  I hope the T-rex is actually good, he probably won't be but I wouldn't mind him on my online team if he is.  I wonder if they'll finally cave and also give us a Dolphin Pokemon as well. They could make it a cute Water/Fairy type if they did.

A Dolphin Pokemon sounds awesome.

Still unsure what I'll choose as my starter, Froakie seems my favourite as Water types usually are but I also plan to get Squirtle because he's just ace as well, tough decisions.

Same I was going Fennekin as I always go fire but now I can have a Charmander. I'm not sure to have Chespin or a Froakie but if that's Chespins final form it looks crap, Froakie could be my guy.

I only really have one spot to figure out as I'll have 3 starters and a Glaceon, I'll need a flying type, so yeah only got type I need which will probably be electric or something

3 Starters you counting the WiFi bird thing download.

Yep I'm having Torchic

I still can't get over how ugly the textboxes and font are:



Really looking forward to it, though, but I guess that worldwide release has some tradeoffs.

Yes Dinosaurs.

Word around the place is caught Pokemon give exp this time, I must say it's an interesting little tweak to things.

It would make the games a bit more simple wouldn't it?

Eh either way 1000th post
