It has been a couple of weeks since the previous episode was published (you can read it here if you haven’t done so!) and it’s now time for the next. This time round we’re going to focus on Pokémon. Or more specifically the Pokémon our readers would like to see introduced in X & Y. Before we begin that, we’re going to take a look back at some of our highlights from episode 2.
[/vc_column_text] [vc_column_text title=”Episode Two – Reader Opinions” pb_margin_bottom=”no” pb_border_bottom=”no” width=”1/1″ el_position=”first last”]
Last month I published episode two of Journey to X & Y, putting out some ideas about the then newly revealed Kalos region. A couple of weeks later and we’ve received a fair few replies and we’ve enjoyed reading through all of your ideas. A few of our most favourites are below!
Unlike the first episode I didn’t voice my own opinions on the subject, instead introduced the areas that we wanted you to discuss: what readers believed each area of interest in Kalos to be, for example could one of the regions many castles house the Pokémon League? -something Maki agreed with, and what route readers believed they would take their journey over Kalos.
Beginning with the explorations of Kalos, dewkage believed that unlike previously speculation and imagery we’ve seen the town in the very south of the region would house the seventh gym, which Mark James Colgan responded to saying that the 8th Gym looks more like the first town in the game, and just before it looks like route 3 in the video.
By looking at locations and what they contain, Sean said that the Carnac stones area has what could be a graveyard to the right of it (see the little stone slabs just after the bridge) It could point to the town above it being a ghost type gym. Something that could also be related to some footage we saw earlier in the year featuring the inside of a Gym building.
Finally, Pokémon Blue Hero‘s response about the rivers of the Kalos region were something to think about. They said that they were really intrigued by them and look forward to seeing if they’ll play a big role in our journey. Hopefully the game designers will be able to maintain a nice balance between land and water in the region, something many fans say Hoenn didn’t do.
[/vc_column_text] [vc_column_text title=”Pokémon of Kalos” pb_margin_bottom=”no” pb_border_bottom=”no” width=”1/1″ el_position=”first last”]
Kalos has already proven that it’s home to some interesting Pokémon, most of which are still shrouded in a fair amount of mystery. We’ve learnt that Gogoat will introduce a new riding mechanic (something we’ll focus on in a future episode), Sylveon is the centrepiece for the new Fairy Type, and Flabébé has recently been introduced as being in a shared position of both the lightest and smallest Pokémon to date.
We’ve already looked at how the region draws inspiration from France, as shown by the regional map revealed to us a month ago. At E3 we were also told how France as seen as a country of beauty, is this something we could see new Pokémon draw from? The introduction of Fairy Type opens the possibility of introducing a few ‘beautiful’ Pokémon this generation.
It’s definitely safe to say that the revelation of new Pokémon is something fans look forward to most in a new generation, and as such that’s our focus this episode. We want to hear from you guys what new types of Pokémon you’d like to see introduced? Whether you go with the basics of a new type combination, or a little deeper looking at the specifics of a new Pokémon and where it draws its inspirations from.
As usual, comment with your ideas and input below. We really want you to share your ideas for new Pokémon and we’re all looking forward to reading them!

I really want to see some rogue pokemon (:
Bisharp strikes me as being “Rogue”
Something more like weavile/zangoose line.
I really want their to be dual type attacks, there are already attacks that would fit this.
Like Muddy Water, which could be Water/Ground… And the elemental punches could also be dual-typed (Fighting/Ice, Fighting/Electric and Fighting/Fire).
Yeah, and FreezeShock and FreezeBurn could be Ice/Electric and Ice/Fire.
I would rather them be one type when you use them, and another when it hits. For example, say that Ice Punch gets a Fighting type STAB, but hits for Ice damage. Or a move that a Flying Pokemon gets STAB on, but deals Fire damage.
I think attacks that consist of two types (Water/Ground) would be terrible when in comes to calculating damage.
The did introduce a water type attack for clauncher that is super effective against groung fire rock also it’s super effective agianst FLYING !!!!! i think this is the best idea of Pokemon X and Y
of course after the idea of sitting on BENCHES !!!
Isn’t that a rumor?
I want to see a Dark/Fairy combo
yes a dark Elf ^^
What’s about a Fairy Dragon,
I want a Dark/Fairy too!!!
I’d like to see how that would turn out!
you mean like this i made it a while back lol I think we’ll get one i think i can only hope…
I’d love to see a Dark/Fairy pokemon based of Goblins, maybe a 3-part evolution Goblin -> Hobgoblin -> Bugbear. Would be super cool.
I also want their to be a father in this game, don’t know why I just do.
Lol.
It would be cool if you had a full house this time, mother, father and a sibling or two. It would be nice for a change.
It would be even cooler if you had an older sibling who was a gym leader!
or part of the elite four
I would have said that in my comment before, but I doubted it because that would be a very intense sibling rivalry!
and intense sibling rivalry could be a nice addition to the game
Yeah, but not as intense as that!
You’d have to frickin own your older bro/sister, it would be pretty embarrassing for them being on of the elite four, it would be less embarrassing if they were only a gym leader.
no it won’t coz he/she will be very Proud of the brother/sister that has the elite 4 and will go to another level after that it’s like creating a legend. ^_^
Sounds reasonable, but if was beat by my younger brother or sister then I would be pretty embarrassed.
Just my opinion.
you right i still think it would be cool though
want some cool dragon/steel pokemon
Dialga is crying…
I still think a manticore evolution for Litleo would be beyond amazing! 😀
I don’t think lilteo looks like he would fit that evolution chain, but that would be pretty cool!
Take a look at it’s tail. Then type in manticores on google images. You’ll see the resemblance.
True but I still don’t see it happening unless it loses its normal typing when it evolves for another type such as dark for example.
Some tales say the Manticore is a king who has been cursed and turned into one. It could be Normal/Fairy.
Then you could say the same for Helioptile. I see that becoming Electric/Dark.
Now I see it!
See! I told you. 🙂
Lol
i would like to a see a ghost/fairy type 😀
Misdreavus and Mismagius maybe?
That’s what I was thinking!
I hope that skrelp gets a dual evolution, one turning into a leafy seadragon (grass/water) and the other a weedy seadragon (water/poison) or maybe girls turn into a leafy and boys into a weedy or something like that. I also really hope that there is a new red panda pokemon that is as adorable as they are in real life because if spinda is supposed to be a red panda that ugly thing does not do them justice whatsoever. I would also really enjoy a dark/electric type pokemon. (my 2 favorite types!)
omg i would love that for skrelp. Skrelp is my favorite :3
I’d like to see a Grass/Fire type combo. Maybe a Jack-o-Lantern?
Also, how about a Normal/Ghost type?
I’d rather have a Fighting/Ghost, but Normal/Ghost would also be interesting.
A Fighting/Ghost would be awesome.
Ability: Levitate
Weaknesses: Flying, Ghost
Immune to: Ground, Normal, Fighting
Sorry if I’ am wrong.
Psychic weakness too… but still pretty great ” defense spread”
Wait never mind. I can’t read.
Fighting/Ghost could be a Zombie & Normal/Ghost could be a Sheet Ghost.
I liked Mr x and y’s idea of a fire grass coconut soldier
Something like this?
http://fc07.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2011/041/1/8/036_ambush___038_canonforna_by_spune-d3997vv.png
I like the concept, however I think that might not happen in gen 6 because of the games focus on beauty and that Pokemon’s focus looks like it is warfare.
Ambush is cute the other 2 naaaw :/
yeah I agree ^_^
A little lol did u do this?
No lol, the only thing I can draw is stick figures. But I always remember this Fakemon pic for some reason. So when you said coconut soldier, I instantly remembered this pic.
Ghost/Steel, Dark/Psychic, Water/Fire (Hot Springs? lol), Poison/Dragon, Grass/Dragon, Dragon/Fightng, Ice/Poison, Ice/Rock, Rock/Dragon, Bug/Ice, Bug/Psychic, Bug/Dark, Fire/Ice (Yes I went there), and many more. I hope that some of these (particularly Ghost/Steel, Bug/Ice, and Dark/Psychic) are going to happen.
Don’t forget a Rock/Dragon (T-Rex) or maybe even a Fairy/Dragon (Some sort of elegent dragon)!!!
Yeah, we really need some more Dragon-types with unique second types. And I agree, Fire/Ice does need to be done, too. However, I can’t think of any great ideas for it that make much sense, so I’ll leave that to the professionals.
You must know this by now, but Inkay and Malimar (the squid-looking pokemon) are Dark and Psychic type
I think that an evolution of Sunflora would be perfect for Grass/Fire.
Completely agree! Maybe more people would use the Sunflora line then too.
I would like to see Sunflora evolve into one of the best Pokémon (stat-wise) in the entire series. That would be a great end to the tale of struggle that is poor Sunkern.
Now that something interesting that I’d like to see ^_^
i would love to see a Pumpkin pokemon it can be a first
A little pumpking in a patch- Fire type
and bigger pumpkin floating with a little mist around it- Ghost/Fire
a huge pumpkin where mist comes out of the mouth and everywhere also floating with arms – Ghost/Fire
If its a Pumpkin, wouldn’t it be Grass/Ghost?
The first one sounds like the perfect opportunity to finally have a Grass/Fire!
I’ll take a ground/dragon with some flying/fighting and extra fairy/electric, a water/fire to drink and a side order of ghost/grass
Anyone also wondering why pokemon are getting flying type as their primary type now? Noivern has and also that rumoured fairy that is ‘to be revealed soon’…
His prevo could be a pure flying type, or just no dragon typing
Valid point, but I can’t think of a pure flying that would turn into that.
A bat that resembles an actual sound wave? Somehow… That is really hard to picture a pure Flying prevo. for Noivern. :/
A pure flying which there is only one of in the games would have to have something very significant to happen to it to become a dragon type
So we have Sky battles, as well as Horde encounters.
They said at the Q&A that they still have more battle features to reveal.
Water battles anyone? Just generally surfing on your pokemon when bam, a battle takes place in the water.
That’d be awesome! They’d have to come up with an ability (similar to Levitate) that allows Pokemon to battle underwater (and maybe make them immune to Water type attacks, but not absorb them like Water Absorb does) so that we can get some non-Water types to be able to fight underwater. Even if ONLY Water types can fight underwater, I’d still like that kind of battle.
If you think about it, the common battles is on land, the region itself. Now we have battles in the air, the only one left from the trio is the sea (Weather Trio reference xD)
Ahem, you. Stick to the topic of the post, you’re a couple of weeks ahead of yourself!
Alright, I’ll keep on topic. But how am I getting weeks ahead of myself? I just stated a suggestion I had of mine.
I should have said ahead of me, rather than yourself. But ah well. I’m going to cover something along those lines in a later episode. It’s no worries though!
i’d love water battles! that’s why hoen is 1 of my fav regions! it’d b nice to see water pokemon really sink in the water! 🙂
that will be great like the battle with Entei in the movie 3 … Land-Sky-Underwater everywhere there is a pokemon battle. ^_^
What I’d like is for a few older Pokemon to gain the Fairy type. Specifically, the Clefable line, the Mismagius line, Mawile (and give it an evo), the Togekiss line, the Whimsicott or Lilligant line (but not both), the lake trio, Snorunt and Glalie (but not Frosslass), Plusle and Minun (and give them an evo or make them combine together like black Kyurem), Volbeat, Illumise, and Milotic.
i don’t know about combining Plusle & Minun like BW Kyurem, that’d be weird but it would be nice if they got the fairy typing 🙂
I’d also like to see Azelf/Uxie/Mesprit become Psychic/Fairy, and Manaphy/Phione Water/Fairy
I think Togekiss line is ok as it is. But the other…
Fire/Water (Some kind of hydra with different typed heads?)
Dark/Fairy (Clearly a rogue elf)
Fighting/Dragon (Like WereGarurumon-my fave digi)
Electric/Grass (A plant lantern)
Psychic/Electric (Magician with electrifying crystal balls)
Electric/Fire (Some kind of artillery automaton)
Psychic Dolphin and a Grass Peacock. I have wanted this since gen 4.
That would be epic!
I really want them to create some groundbreaking designs in this game. In x and y we had a lot of rehashes arounf the beginning but thats okay becasue we had enough really diverse pokes later in the game. But i’m worried about this region because there will probably be significantly less and we already have ANOTHER water/poison and water/electric, but still no water/fire or dragon/steel. And there are so many possibilities for dual fairies, but i can just see them only having a few in the name of balance, because thats a gamefreak thing to do.
I’m being really pessimistic, which is unusual for me but its probably only because i’m not too impressed with the E3 pokemon. They all look like theyve been done before. Why is vivillon not fairy? wont a future bug/faiy be a pink butterfly anyways? Just things like this have gotten to me. However if there’s one thing i want more than togekiss getting the fairy type, its a new rotom forme. A toy fighting robot, like from Charon’s diary… if anyone remembers that it has always annoyed me so much.
We’ve only seen what, like 20 Pokemon so far? And we’ve already got 3 brand new typings with Yveltal and Xerneas’ types not yet revealed. Toss in the retcons and that brings it to 6 new typings. The starters are always going to be Grass, Water, and Fire and the regional bird is always going to be Normal/Flying. At least this one evolves into a new type. At this point in the information cycle I don’t remember this many new types being released at this point yet we ended up with a ton of new typings. As for Water/Fire, I could see Clauncher evolving into a Water/Fire mon. He IS based on a pistol shrimp after all, a creature that can vaporize water. That sounds like a Water/Fire type to me.
Also, I’d love more Rotom forms. A Ground (jackhammer with Earth Power), Fighting (robot, like you mentioned), Steel (a buffer with Flash Cannon), Poison (a blender with Sludge Wave), and Normal (radio set with Hyper Voice) one would be awesome.
We already have a dragon/steel and that’s dialga. I do agree with fire/water though. Maybe like a geyser kinda thing
When a unique type combo is used on a legendary though it still doesn’t feel like we “have it” though because we cant use it competitevly anywhere outside of ubers
Fairy/fighting link pokemon
Fairy/Ground (Earth gnome)
Grass/Ghost (wilted flower)
Grass/Dragon (a dragon made out of flowers and wood)
Fire/Water (steam fish pokemon)
Fire/Poison (flammable gas pokemon)
Electric/Dark (some kind of dangerous animal like a bear)
Dragon/Poison (obviously a toxic-spewing dragon)
Dragon/Fighting (martial arts dragon or lizard)
Electric/Fighting (something akin to Pulseman)
Electric/Psychic (levitating electric ball)
Fighting/Flying (a giant martial arts bird)
Steel/Ghost (ghost of action figure)
Croissant/Chef Pokémon! 😛 no seriously tho the new pokemon so far are really well designed they could put some crazy creative Pokémon out there this generation. It’ll be interesting to see how they turn out.
TAKE NOTES GAMEFREAK! 1. I want a chinese dragon pokemon 2. I want a t rex pokemon BUT I don’t want it to be a rock type (fire would be cool) 3. A dragon type pokemon that lives in space and is based on galaxys, quasars, shooting stars and it has really bright neo colors that illuminate it’s body. 4. A leopard pokemon, dark or fire type 5. Peagus pokemon (normal/flying).6. A angel pokemon (fairy) 7. A komodo dragon pokemon ( pure posion) 8. A cyclops pokemon (fighting) 9. A kraken pokemon ( water/steel or pure water) 10. A steel/dark black knight pokemon that has branch evoultions depending on the held item while leveling up.
You have some cool ideas but I disagree with some of the typings. 2. I’m pretty sure all dinosaur Pokemon will be rock type since they lived in the STONE Age. 5. I always thought a Pegasus will be Fairy/Flying. 6. Same as 5 though I can see pure Fairy. 7 seems more of a pure Dragon. 9. Water/Dark makes more sense to me. The last one sounds like it can be a Evolution to Paward and Bisharp. Again the consepts themselves are realy good.
Dinosaurs didn’t live in the stone age :’) *face palm*
Umm yes they did. The Mesozoic(however you spell it) Era is still apart of the stone age. So that face palm was for nothing.
The Mesozoic era, which included the Triassic, Jurassic, and Cretaceous periods, took place 252 to 66 million years ago. The Stone Age, which is part of the Quaternary period, (which is part of the Cenozoic Era) started 2.5 million years ago. So no, Dinosaurs did not live during the stone age. Dinosaur pokemon could easily be part rock type due to being fossilized, but that would not be because they “lived in the stone age”.
No body gives a shit.
Well aren’t you polite.
wow a lot of knowledge is pouring in here thank you for the valuable Information.
3. If you look to the sky, you might spot a legendary Pokémon known as… Rayquaza!
4. Have you not heard of Liepard? Yeah, it can’t spit fire, but it sure is cruel.
7. Since Komodo dragons are widely known for their bacteria infested mouths and deadly bites,
I think Poison/Dragon-type fits best.
Komodo dragon’s don’t have some sort of super bacteria in their mouths- they’ve been shown to have venom glands in their lower jaw, along with a few other members of Varanidae.
I never said anything about a “super bacteria.” I clearly stated they have bacteria infested mouths, which is true.
Komodos are known for the highly infective bacteria contained in their saliva, which can contain anywhere from 50 to 80 different strains of bacteria. A study supported the observation that wounds inflicted by the Komodo dragon are often associated with sepsis, the state of putrefaction and decay. They can also potentially pass on bacteria to one another via prey that escape an initial attack, as the infected prey serves as a vector to spread the infection among lizard mouths.
What you’re referring to is the evidence found in 2009 when MRI scans of a preserved dragon’s skull showed the presence of two venom glands in the lower jaw and found it secreted a venom containing several different toxic proteins. The Komodo dragon’s venom is administered relatively crudely, seeping into the large wounds made by the teeth.The known functions of these proteins include inhibition of blood clotting, lowering of blood pressure, muscle paralysis, and the induction of hypothermia, leading to shock and loss of consciousness in envenomated prey, therefore, if the injured animal escapes, it will rapidly succumb to it’s wounds.
Either way, both theories are still being disputed upon, but I’m sure you can agree that Komodo dragons are some cruel, toxic mofo’s.
I want a Peacock Pokemon, Dolphin Pokemon, Athena Pokemon, Poseidon Pokemon, and a Dragon/Fairy type Pokemon.
For me: Uroboros pokemon that is either Poison/Dark or Poison/Dragon (3 stage)
Ghost/Flying vampire like pokemon (3 stage)
Fairy/Flying Gryphon Pokemon (3 stage)
Fairy/Dragon Psuedo Legendary (3 stage)
Fairy/Dark “chaos” Pokemon (3 stage) (also have you know what number)
Dragon/steel (3 stage)
Water/Psychic dolphin (2 stage)
Ice/Rock Sabertooth fossil Pokemon(2 stage)
Ghost/Ground Skeleton pokemon(3 stage)
well I would like a chihuahuah pokemon ( normal)a dragon pokemon that is light blue and covoered with bubbles (dragon/water) a sea serpent pokemon ( water or water/dragon) a cavemen pokemon that kinda looks like a ape like pokemon with a loin cloth holding a giant bone for a weapon ( fighting) a dragon and a fighterjet mix together (kinda of like sparrowmon) (steel/dragon) that has levitate and get’s stab to flying type pokemon.
palkia is crying….
Has a Dark/Electric been done? that would be cool
yeah I want to see that too.
Knight Pokemon- Steel/Dark
Kick ass dragon – Dragon/Psychic
White Stag- Fire/Fairy
Gargoyle-Dark
A weird jester Pokemon-Ghost
3 sub legendary – Psychic/Fairy Dark/Fairy Ghost/Fairy
One main legendary to be just Fairy- (Yes I like fairy :P)
