  1. Well this took me completely by surprise, wasn’t expecting Honedge to evolve. A little disappointed though, I was hoping it’d be Helioptile or a second Eeveelution.

    Reply
  2. I’m really not a fan of this and it’s pre-evolution. Strange designs to say the least, and I’ve been totally cool with the previous weird designs… but this one, I can’t get past. Still, its got a cool typing that I’m sure I’ll find use for.

  3. before people bash it, i think it’s safe to say there’ll be third evo. also Doublade looks like a torso with 2 arms, so the 3rd evo might get legs or a head and be a steel ghost knight (wasn’t a knight rumoured?)

    Reply
  4. I thought Honedge won’t have evolution, so it’s fine. Eitherway, I was hoping it to evolve into some kind of empty armor. I would have prefered Honedge this way, but, ey, at least Doublade isn’t the worst pkmn.

    Reply
  5. I actually like Doublade more than Honedge, it looks more complete, so I’m happy:) Now I want to see Helioptile’s Evo:) Hope we get a new pokemon every week (cuz how many days left for the game exactly?)

    Reply
  6. And Trollfreak lives up to it’s name! Seriously, I laughed when I saw this. Meh, I hope this means armour third evo like everyone has been clamouring for. Otherwise it’s just a waste of pokedex space, though it doesn’t actually look bad per se, and I guess I’ll get used to it…

    Reply
    • I’m pretty sure it will have a good attack, and maybe special attack. But defenses probably won’t be very good. After all, it’s a sword, not a shield.

      Reply
  7. If it doesn’t evolve into a ghost knight is going to be a bit disapointing… still waiting for another eeveelution or some new ice/water/grass pkmn. They haven’t shown enough…

    Reply
    • I like it, don’t get me wrong, I was just expecting something else. Haha. It’ll be like Klink/Klang/Klinklang & Magnemite/Magneton/Magnezone, evolution set, I’d imagine.

      Reply
  8. It’s definitely not what I expected, but I like it. I personally thought Honedge wouldn’t evolve. I can’t complain about it, it certainly looks cool, and I would consider using it. I mean, think about it, it’s a Fairy slayer.

    Reply
  9. If it doesn’t evolve, it´s a waste of both pokedex space and a potential mega-honedge( it’s that kind if design depth, isn’t it?)

    Reply
  10. I knew it was gonna be a double sworded pokemon. Not were hoping it has a final evolution. Hopefully that “Celtic knight” I was talking about

    Reply
  11. I’m glad I’m taking a look at what everyone’s saying on here, so far it’s mostly positive. Seeing the comments on the Facebook post itself, all the hatred almost turned me against this pokemon.

    Reply
  12. I like it, and like stated by other people, i’m also hoping it to become a puesquo legedar now..i mean i can see a symilarty to the beldum line honestly, so why not? It could become a bad ass ghost knight with the holsters forming its back :D.

    Guess we’ll have to wait and see ^^

    Reply
  13. Guess we’ll be waiting a while to see if those rumors were true. I don’t really know what to make of this guy, he looks too much like two Honedge that were just stapled together, like he doesn’t really have that much that’s unique about him.

    Reply
  14. This is the only pokemon revealed this gen whose design I really don’t like and that’s unfortunate ’cause I really like the typing 🙁 I hope there is another evolution that does something a bit more drastic.

    Reply
  15. knew we were gonna get an evo at some time.
    All of the names for H’one’dge, had the word one embedded in each language.

    Can’t say I am too fond of it unfortunately. I would have liked to see some armor and a distinguishable body shape. Though, this just looks like two swords with eyes – it could literally be a zelda monster. :/

    Reply
  16. It has a complex design especially when it takes out its scabbard. One is holding the scabbard, other part is kind of levitating. I don’t like it to be honest. Onedge was good and unique design but this one seems like trying hard.

    I’ve just made a research if there is combined scabbard exist in real life and it does. They are usually placed at the back and some kind of cross unsheating going on.

  17. Not hating on it but i was hoping for something…better? So far the “honedge” line is by far my least favorite of this gen. However i guess there is still a chance of a badass 3rd evo, if they take it in the right direction.

    Reply
  18. I know a bunch of people are going to bash it for being a lazy design, but unlike me I don’t judge a Pokemon by its skin but its abilities on the battlefield,

    Just like some said, some Pokemon duplicate during evolution and besides who wouldn’t want a pair of spectral blades under their command?

    Reply
    • This officially makes me want to capture a Honedge and evolve it. I even thought it was a genderless Pokémon based on the appearance. However, when I saw an episode of Pokémon Smash in which someone was playing an unfinished version of the game, it was marked as a male.

      Reply
  19. I like it … I was just hoping for a Dragon eeveelution :*( …. everyday that passes brings me closer to the truth of If i will ever wield “DRACEON”

    Reply
  20. While I wasn’t expecting this, it kind of makes sense that Doublade was revealed this way since Honedge was first revealed by itself at the Japan Expo in France.

    The blades look awesome, that’s for sure, and I had a feeling that, if Honedge would evolve, it would more than likely be something similar to Magnemite and Klink, but I just didn’t expect this for some reason . . .

    Reply
  21. I just noticed that the Honedge line have their own individual reveals.. What’s up with the special treatment? I’m guessing it’s probably a pseudo legendary or it introduces a new mechanic that hasn’t been revealed.. But maybe I’m thinking way too far into this haha xD

    Reply
  22. I really hope that because we’ve got sword pokemon that if they have a cutting move that you could choose which way it goes with the touch screen, like chatot’s move chatter.

    Reply
  23. Now let’s wait and let a “leaker” finish the pokedex for this. Every time a new pokemon is revealed, about a day later we get a supposed “Dex leak” that’s been revamped to fit the new pokemon in.

    Reply
  24. I was REALLY hoping for a cross-gen evolution that wasn’t Eevee related to prove that Sylveon won’t be the only one in Gen VI. Duoblade revealed. *Sigh* Don’t get me wrong, I like Duoblade. I’m just dissapointed. 🙁

    Reply
      • Now GF has pretty much confirmed that Mega Evolution is the new Cross-gen Evolution. I did not want this to happen because there are a few old gen Pokémon my brother and I were hoping to use if they evolved. For example, Lunatone, Tropius, and Seviper in the same party. All three suck stat wise, yet they have great designs! If they do get a Mega Evolution, then I can only use one of them in battle! GF why!!!!!????

        Reply
  25. Not quite what I expected, or what I hoped for, but I think I can get used to it. The seemingly random change from a blue hilt cloth/tassels to purple and pink is a little annoying though. Even if the color is to represent its psychic-ish telepathic ability (“This Steel- and Ghost-type Pokémon is capable of carrying out intricate attacks by telepathically coordinating its two blades to deliver twice the slice in battle.”), it’s still feels off. Staying blue would’ve been just fine in my opinion. If they wanted to change something about the hilt cloth/tassels, maybe they could’ve further advanced the swirl pattern on it instead of leaving it exactly the same with just a color change.

    On a related note, does anyone else find it weird that they’ve revealed over 30 new Pokemon, and yet not one of them has been even part Ground type? Every other type except for Ground has been represented in some way. The closest thing there is to a new Ground type is Garchomp’s Mega Evolution, but that’s not really the same thing, at least in my opinion.

    Reply
    • Yeah it’s alittle strange but I think we can all assume bunnelby will be some sort of ground type, due to it’s ear diggers/coloration. Of course you know what they say about assuming! And assuming with pokemon is even more dangerous

      Reply
  26. Well, this was not what I was expecting, I was hoping for a Sableye evolution, this let me down a little. I think if the evo line ends here this would be one of those Pokemon that Gamefreak went lazy with (i.e.Voltorb evo line)
    Not hating on it but I wouldn’t put it on my team.

    Reply
    • If Sableye gets upgraded, it’ll be because of a Mega evolution. It happened to Mawile, Sableye’s counterpart, I’m sure it’ll happen to it too.

      Reply
    • A sableye evo would’ve been nice..and I can see what you mean about the designing. It’s kinda like the klink line. It’s design just wasn’t very good. It was an interesting concept, but they only gave it one steel type move that attacks when it has a decent attack stat and that move doesn’t even do sufficient damage. Hopefully they don’t make that mistake with doublade

      Reply
  27. I don’t understand why people call GF lazy when they use inanimate objects for Pokemon. Honestly, I think it’s pretty creative, and usually there’s a story behind why an inanimate became animate. Like Honedge, for example, is a spirit that possessed a sword. Is that kid friendly? Not really since it will drain the life out of you. Apparently there’s more to the Pokemon’s background than most people see. The fossils are depicted as rocks, but they can extract DNA and make bring back a pokemon. Probably the only lazy design is Voltorb and Electrode. Don’t bash something (or someone) based on their appearance or whatever until you learn why it (or they) are that way. You might actually learn to like it a lot more.

    • Finally a trainer that’s thinking with their heart!
      It warms my rocky-enlarged heart to find some trainers defending a Pokemon with an “unusual” looks without getting to know it

      My Brother is so shallow when it comes to Pokemon
      and he always sucker punches gen V with vanilite

      Reply
      • Well… I actually feel bad for things that are made fun of for looking stupid or something. Like Zubat or Bidoof. Zubat is annoying but is also kinda cute and enigmatic. Bidoof is one of the most useful because you don’t have to sacrifice move slots for HMs on your favorite pokes.

        Reply
    • I agree too. It’s a wonderful idea to make inanimate object Pokémon, so long as it is done right! About fossil Pokémon, my pet peeve is why do they all have to be rock types? I get that they’re fossil Pokémon, but seriously! I believe the rock type hinders most fossil Pokémon from unleashing their full potential. For example, Kabutops could have been Bug/Dragon, Bastiodon pure Steel, and Amuros be pure Ice. I know it’s nitpicking, but it just upsets me. I mean were they all REALLY rock types in their day? Team Plasma got it right by modifying Genesect so it was Bug/Steel and not Bug/Rock!

      Reply
      • Well, that’s the thing though. As you said yourself, they are FOSSIL Pokemon. A fossil is, by definition “the remains or impression of a prehistoric organism preserved in petrified form or as a mold or cast in rock.” Maybe they weren’t rock back then, and I don’t think they were *though, why would Kabutops be Bug/Dragon? It’s a Rock/WATER type, it would be Bug/Water before Dragon* But by that definition, they need to be part Rock to even be defined as a Fossil Pokemon. It can probably be chalked down to the process that revives the Pokemon, the stone aspect is probably just fused into what they are.

        Reply
        • I edited that part about Kabutops and wrote an EDIT explanation and why I made that mistake. Thanks for catching that! And if that’s the case with Fossil Pokémon being Rock type because they are fossils, then why has Team Plasma been the only ones to resurrect a fossil Pokémon without having it be part Rock? I know, it’s because of their modifications with Genesect, but has no other scientist really thought of doing this? And it makes me wonder what Genesect was during its time? Bug? Bug/Rock? Heck, maybe it really was Bug/Steel before!

          Reply
    • Actually, even Voltorb and Electrode can be quite interesting, when you dig deep enough:
      a mimic, a fake pokeball, a bomb, a battery, ball lightning, electrode, quantum physics… so many different ideas and concepts all crammed into one evolutionary line

      Reply
    • For me, Its not the fact that its a inaminate object, its just…man I got so hyped that they were revealing an evolution today…and then this….hopefully it has an evolution or even if its stats are good I’ll change my opinion on it

      Reply
    • I love these kind of Pokemon too, I love the origins behind these Pokemon like Yamask being the soul of a dead human carrying it’s face. I just struggle when they can breed, as then I think ‘Where does the sword come from? Where does the spirit of a person and their mask come from?’

      Reply
  28. What the hell is this? It’s literally just two Deinos stuck together. There are ZERO differences besides the fact that it JUST HAS ANOTHER DEINO HEAD.

    Way to go Gamefreak you lazy twats.

    Reply
  29. I just remembered something. Honedge isn’t the sword, it’s a spirit possessing a sword once used by humans. Technically speaking, there should be form differences since different swords exist, unless the swords were used by an army which would explain why all Honedge look the same.

    I’m thinking way too much about this. It’s Pokémon! I shouldn’t even be thinikng about its Pokédex entry!

    Reply
  30. To be honest, I’m in love with this.

    It’s based on a double sword scabbard/wall mount which is pretty cool to me. Glad it kept the same ability as it’s gonna be a powerhouse if it has Haxorus like attack.

    Reply
  31. Not what I was hoping for but this makes me like honedge more. Looks pretty good, the purple/pink really suits it. I like the eyes! Will be interesting to see if there is a third evo. I might try it out sometime nontheless 🙂

    Reply
    • Off topic but I think it is a great idea, makes us appreciate the gen 6 pokemon first, then we can get excited for gen 6 megas when they aren’t new anymore. Wonder what a megalution of doublade would be?

      Reply
    • Have you ever thought that it’s a project that’s been in the works for some years? (In game and anime)

      All experiments take time to produce results, so it’s only natural that already existing Pokemon would get Mega Evolution’s and not the new ones. Besides, makes us warm up to them before they end up getting Mega Evolution’s in the sequel. (if there is one which is likely.)

      Reply
  32. It’s definitely not what I was expecting! I was totally disappointed (because I was hoping for a Helioptile evo….forreal, gimme) but Doublade looks cool. I’ve always considered Honedge as meh, and it’s evo is a little better, although I prefer the blue cloth to the purple and pink. But that’s just me. I don’t hate it, but I don’t love it.

    Reply
    • I expected something new….but the only thing that’s new here is the color pink. They could have at least shown us a new attack that it could learn…
      There’s really not much to talk about.

      • Actually it has different mouth, one-side longer edge and different pattern on its body but it doesn’t help him anyway, it still looks simlar to onedge.

  33. Pokémon gain experience even when the opposing wild Pokémon is caught – subsequently a caught Pokémon gives the same experience points as a defeated one.
    Sky Battles are limited to Flying-type Pokémon and those with the Levitate ability – some moves can’t be used.
    There is an adjustment to the inheritance system of breeding.
    Ghost-type Pokémon can freely escape from battle without being influenced by Shadow Tag.
    The item Exp. Share will revert to Exp. All as in Generation I, where when one Pokémon holding this item participates in battle, all other Pokémon in the team receive experience as well. Unlike in Generation I, the experience is not split but rather received by all Pokémon. This means that the participating Pokémon receives 100% experience, while non-participating Pokémon gain 50% experience.
    When distributing new moves and abilities, priority was given to new Pokémon.
    The CGI style is different from Pokémon Stadium and Pokémon Battle Revolution, as those games were supposed to emulate “realism within fantasy”. Since the handheld Pokémon series is supposed to be accessible to everyone, battles were made “cuter”.
    The standard selection process for Pokémon Mega Evolution is based on three points: visual looks, popularity and game balance.
    The power-up of Mega-Evolved Pokémon is meant to elevate them to the class of legendary Pokémon, hence the restriction of only one Pokémon being allowed to hold a Mega Stone during battles.
    The timing to Mega-Evolve is selectable.
    Some moves, with focus on special ones, have had their power and accuracy revamped.

        • Agreed, I didn’t know anything about them changing the EXP Share back into an EXP All. Or there will be adjustments in Breeding Inheritance, whatever that means. At least it gives some clarification on what power level the Megas should be boosting too, which seems about right. Now whether that means 680 or not, I don’t know, but the fact that Garchomp LOST speed when going to Mega Garchomp seemed like a fairly good tipoff it shouldn’t be that much over 600.

          • *Read in Dwan’s voice*Buneary! Spot..light!*Stop reading in Dawn’s voice* Sorry I had to :p I guess they want to bring older/former fans back into the mix! I have only seen these commercials on more adult channels like [adult swim] or Comedy Central. Never have I seen a commercial for X & Y on Disney, Cartoon Network, etc.

  34. For those thinking that there won’t be any cross gen evolutions this gen because GameFreak isn’t revealing any need to think about that, just because GameFreak doesn’t officially reveal any evolutions from past gens (other than Sylveon and Megas) doesn’t mean they won’t be there. For all we know they want us to discover these evolutions in the game itself so don’t give up hope just yet. We only have about 35 Pokemon revealed so far so don’t give up like that, who knows what surprises we might find in the Kalos Dex.

    Reply
    • There will definitely be evolutions and/or pre-evolutions to old Pokemon. Probably not gonna be another Eeveelution, but anything else is possible! 😛

      Reply
    • I’m still hoping as well. I really don’t want mega evolution to be the new cross gen evolution. I love mega evolution with all my heart. It’s the greatest thing GF has ever done in history! But I don’t want it to be overdone to death or it won’t be fun.

      Reply
      • I actually have to disagree there about the megas, I like a few of them but the concept is a bit dumb. Especially Mega Garchomp, Mega Blaziken, and Mega Mewtwo X/Y. This is just my opinion though. But yes we should stay hopeful. Also correct me if I’m wrong but did GameFreak ever reveal the gen 4 cross evolutions? Or were they just revealed in game?

        Reply
        • I wish I knew about the reveals of Gen IV cross evolutions. I got into the games in Gen III (FR/LG), took a break from the franchise during Gen IV, and came back to the franchise during Gen V (B/W). This is my first time waiting for a new generation to begin.

          Reply
        • As for Mega Evolutions, I think GF is over doing it. Legendaries and Psudo Legendaries really should not get them. When I think of Mega Evolution, I think of the FINAL form Ichigo went through in Bleach and how glorious it was. But it’s not so cool when GF is being an Oprah Winfrey about it!

    Reply
  41. I’m not sure why everyone is suddenly saying”no cross-gen evolutions confirmed.” This doesn’t mean that at all. What led everyone to that conclusion? Just because they announced it would be an evolved Pokemon didn’t mean it was the deciding moment to see if all cross-gen evolutions would or would not exist.

    Reply
    • That started from me. Sorry, I don’t mean to be pessimistic. It’s still possible there will be cross-gen evolutions (not eevee related), but with the rave of mega evolutions and many unknown new pokémon, it seems less and less likely to happen.

      Reply
      • I don’t think that’s necessarily true. Remember Gen IV, where they had a huge slew of new evolutions that were completely unhinted-at before the release of Diamond and Pearl.

        Reply
          • well back then, all those evolutions after Weavile were completely unmentioned before the games were released, and it took a lot of people by surprise, so the same thing might happen here.

          • Ok. Then what was GF talking about at the time? More than half of the Sinnoh Pokémon (I think) are Cross-gen evolutions. Were they just talking about 20 new ones and new game mechanics?

          • Not many Pokemon games before this one got this much constant attention and releases. This is probably because of the international release…

            I don’t get why people want pre-gen evolutions so badly. This takes away from the new Pokemon. That’s why I accept Megas, even if I don’t want to use the mechanic. Megas are basically new evolutions without being permanent so they don’t take away from the Pokedex.

          • I mentioned this on someone else’s reply, but the reason why people want cross-gen evolutions so badly, at least in my opinion is this: There are many weak Pokémon that are never used. Let’s say you’ve wanted to use them for such a long time but didn’t because of their stats, Tropius, Lunatone, and Seviper for example. With a cross-gen evolution, you can use all three in the same party and be content. However, if these three get a Mega Evolution, that means you can only Mega evolve one of them and not use the others at all (unless you want to, but they’re too weak to fight)!

          • I suppose you mean for competitive battling? You can beat the main game with a Pidgey if you really felt like it (and if you’re a cheapass/got patience of steel).

            The point there, though, is that not every Pokemon CAN be of equal strength. Some Pokemon will always be better than others. Tiers are the curse of all competitive play. People will always abuse whatever is top tier, but to make competition exist, not everything can be of equal strength.

            I’ve seen videos of people using an assortment of teams, so it CAN be done. It depends on how you use them. It would work just as well for a Pokemon to be ‘fixed’ via stats/IVs, attacks, and abilities in order to keep up with the competition. But not every Pokemon can be made competitively capable.

            That’s why we have Olimar in SSBB.

          • That was so touching. To answer your question, I did mean competitively, but I don’t battle competitively anyway so it doesn’t matter. You are absolutely right! There will always be limitations, and not every Pokémon can be made competitively capable, but in Story Mode (IDK what to call playing non-competitively) you can any Pokémon well enough to beat the game. I too have seen a few gameplays where Neverused Pokémon were used well. I just keep thinking that there is some hidden potential that can only be unlocked through evolution. But I have now realized that it’s not through evolution, it’s through the heart!

          • Pretty much, yes. They really showcased Weavile and Munchlax. A lot of time was spent talking about all the new features and how being on the DS was going to significantly change the gameplay. For a while, Diamond and Pearl were also going to have fully 3D interiors to their buildings, like we have in Black and White, but that was scrapped because it made the games lag too much.

  42. I really like Doublade, much better then I expected it to look + I think ppl r just mad because it wasn’t an evolution to an older Pokémon or a 2nd Eeveelution. I’m glad they didn’t show an evolution to an older Pokémon I want to see evolutions to new 6th gen Pokemon!

  43. Guys, i just want to confirm that one bit of the rumor with Wailmer being one of the balloons is at the moment true. It seems the GameStop my girlfriend works put out the boxes for display and preorders, and had the official sleeves (meaning carts are somewhere -o-) and on the back she and I both saw Wailmer in Super Training. So, yeah also Doublade looks cool, but its not something I’ll put on my team sadly.

    Reply
  44. Okay…wasn’t expecting this…but God, swords are cool. I love its Celtic designs. And its smiles…I see this thing giggling eerily a lot. I need to draw a character wielding these swords. I was kind of hoping for a shield and sword but twin swords are DOUBLE THE POWER. If you’re Lloyd Irving anyway.

    Reply
  45. I’m not really dissapointed on its design(I actually kinda like it) as much as I’m dissapointed at the evolution they chose to show. Like I don’t really think there was anything special about Doublade to really show off but thats just me

    Reply
  46. I don’t know if IGN and those sites are going to “accidentally” leak new Pokemon tomorrow but if they follow the trend then that will most likely happen. This time it could really be the Helioptile evolution! Unless Doublade was supposed to hold us off until next week then I see it happening.

    Reply
  47. And dont you know just yesterday I was thinking for like a split second that the pokemon being revealed would be honedge`s evo since the hint they gave said it is an evolution. But that thought quickly went away! 😛

  48. All these people hating doublade need to chill out and think. Doublade is more creative than magneton and dugtrio and equally as creative as metang, dodrio, and vanilluxe. This had been several times before and doublade is far from the worst.

  50. As, Smurphy said people need to stop hating on Doublade.

    It takes a lot of thought to make a Pokemon. Everyone complains when Pokemon uses a nonliving object. Doublade is not just a sword (this includes Honedge). A soul embodies the sword and controls it! That’s quite interesting! I guess people aren’t satisfied. As, I commented below I was hoping for them to show Helioptile’s evolution! Still, Doublade is just enough! It’s really cool Pokemon! I like it!

    • No, Chandelure is when people complain about inanimate objects, Vanilluxe is when people complain about inanimate objects. Doublade is honestly a horridly lazy design rivaling that of Magneton. They just doubled Honedge, changed a few colors, and added some kind of shield. Just because it’s an inanimate object doesn’t make it good, but it doesn’t make it bad either. It’s all in the design, which like most inanimate Kanto pokemon, Doublade is sorely lacking.

      (Oh great, let’s see how much hate I get for this)

      Reply
      • It’s not the design, it’s the story behind it. It’s a possessed sword. The pokemon itself is the spirit. Just wait. If it’s given an evolution, all specially defensive ghost types are going to be given a can of woop-ass.

        Reply
        • Even that, what so special about the story is an item being possesed. I don’t see any material here. I was hoping for more interesting and ORIGINAL Inanimate Pokemon, like Chandelure, or Vanilluxe. I feel that there could have been better execution with Honedge and Doublade, And GF failed to follow through.

          • There’s only so much you can do with it. How is a sword bein used any different than a candle, lamp, or a chandelier? Your argumentdoesnt make sense. It’s pretty original considering they didn’t copy it from anybody else.

          • My point is, they didn’t do much to make it either differentiated from the source material (Vanilluxe doesn’t look very much like ice cream) or some designing to make it more original (Chandelure has the fire as his chain and very whimsical “arms”). If you google Chandeliers, It is amazing how much differentiation there is between different ones. The same goes with swords, HOWEVER with swords their is a standard Idea for shape that chandeliers lack. GF used the basic shape. Honedge aside, as it can be debated how original it is. Doublade is a lazy design with an unoriginal story. It is a modern day Magneton, which I was hoping GF had steped away from.

  51. Personally I am neutral to Doublade. But other people can have opinions. Some love it, some hate it, some are neutral to it. Everyone can’t like a pokemon, or hate a pokemon. You shouldn’t bash people for hating or loving a pokemon.

  52. I don’t like it. I’m not a genwunner or fifthgenfanboy (or how you call
    these people), I just don’t like it. I get what is this thing based on
    but I still don’t like it. Personally I don’t like humanoid and object
    based Pokemon. I think if there is a final-evo maybe explain more about Honedge.

  53. Alright, this is my attempt to veer the topic while still trying to be on topic:

    Do you think that the pokedex of X and Y will be like pokedex pro, where you can rotate camera angles, have different backgrounds, and animation effects? I wanna see Doublade in different camera angles in the pokedex. I wonder how detailed it will be?

    Reply
  54. I don’t like it design. But maybe he is better in game (had the same feeling about Honedge, but when I saw it in the trailer in game, i aqually like honedge) so I can’t say it now because i want to see it in game first. (Ps: sorry for my bad english)

  55. Could you all just stop hating Magneton while praising Doubledge. Magneton has a great creative concept as well. It’s not just triple Magnemite, it’s based on magnet attractivity so we have 3 Magnemite sticking together due to magnetism.

  56. OMG. Remember that image we saw at the Pokemon Game Show with Blazkien and Lucario? Well, Masuda said this about it: “That was actually a video which was shown at the Pokémon Games Show, an event in Tokyo last month and it was showing the history of Pokémon games as well as the future. It was kind of a concept about what the future of Pokemon may look like…”. Well, so that means Pokemon games could look like that in the future! Pokemon is getting better by days. It looks like something on the Wii U more than the 3DS! If it is going to be a game! I image it to take more of a stance on PBR or Pokemon Stadium! Still, it looks amazing! ;D

  58. What I dont like about this is that its Gamefreak tradition of creating a Pokemon and then Copying it and then gluing them together and then calling it an evolution. Examples: Magneton, Vanilluxe, KlingKlang, and Weezing, Dugtrio, Dudrio.

        • Well, the Battle Network Anime. And if you’ve never played the games, then… That makes it somewhat complicated XD Suffice to say, Megaman can be rather cleanly divided into two ‘Universes’ the Classic Universe, which is based around Robots, and which most of the games inhabit *Classic, X, Zero, ZX, and Legends* and then the one based around Internet Technology, with the Net Navis, *BN, Starforce*. It is the latter the BN Swordman, who is basically composed of Swords, his head being his primary sword too. The Classic Version is far more humanoid, with a giant sword on his right arm, and his upper half of his body is separate from his legs.

          Reply
          • The Megaman Multiverse confuses me. I got into it during the Battle Network Series and like it better than the Classic version. I’ve seen almost everyone’s Classic forms and it just boggles my mind. I pretend the Classic universe doesn’t exist at all.

  59. I wonder how Honedge will evolve. Two Honedge’s in a party? Or maybe just a level up method. You guys think it will have a new method of evolving? I mean they are awfully promoting this guy a lot.

    • Well.. Ghost/Metal WAS pretty cool, maybe they think it is still broken in our eyes (with the semi-nerf on metal).

      And I would actually like if they did the 2 Honedge thing.. as well as having a slowpoke and a shellder. Something like the DNA Splicer.

  60. So, with 40 ( well 41 with that grey thing, but that´s too blurry to count) pokemon and 11 megas revealed so far, that leaves us reasonably 60-80 unknown pokemon and a number of megas I dont think I can predict left to discover for ourselves. That means 1.5 to 2 times as many pokemon as have been already revealed… I think they should stop revealing pokemon, and just show us screenshots from now on ( battle screenshots, let us discover Kalos ourselves). Unless they decide to pull off an even-numbered gen with as many-pokemon as an odd-numbered, I want my first non-dex spoil generation to leave enough to be found

        • Mhm. B/W had 143 episodes though, and D/P had 190, but D/P Started April 20 2007 and ended February 5 2011, that’s almost four years (which is why it seemed to take so long). B/W started September 23 2010 (in japan), and ends September 26 2013, which is why I thought D/P seemed to last longer, and thus wasn’t that great (also b/c of the amount of *filler* episodes, D/P had one I think and B/W had like 4)

          • I enjoyed DP a lot, but maybe that’s because Dawn is one of my favorite characters and I loved her development.

          • I actually skipped the Battle Frontier Season, D/P Series, and first season of BW Series during my break from the franchise. It wasn’t until Season 2 of BW that I got back into the anime. Eventually, I did watch Battle Frontier and D/P on the internet, so I watched them pretty quickly. That’s why BW deems like it’s dragging on too long for me. From what you told me, I can’t believe D/P was longer!

  62. Okay, bear with me, but I did a quick sketch of what Doublade’s evolution could maybe look like. Inspiration from the fact that Doublade’s inside is shaped like a diamond, outside like a heart. So I made “Tripwield’s” inside shaped like a spade, outside shaped like a club. Again, I am in no way, shape, or form an artist so I apologize, just thought this would be a cool idea xD

  66. Taken from Siliconera.

    “In a recent interview with Japan’s Nintendo Dream magazine, Game Freak discussed improvements being to Pokémon X and Pokémon Y over previous games in the series. Chief among these is how experience points are gained during battle.

    In Pokémon X and Pokémon Y, your Pokémon gain experience even when the opposing wild Pokémon is caught, according to a summary of the interview on Bulbagarden. Caught Pokémon will give the same amount of EXP as defeated Pokémon.

    Additionally, the item Exp. Share will provide experience to all Pokémon in the party, not just the one that participated in battle. The participating Pokémon will receive 100% of the total EXP, while non-participating Pokémon will receive 50% each.”

  68. I may sound really stupid right now, but do we know for a fact that Fletchling is the new Route 1 bird? Because it evolves into a Fire/Flying type, learns Flame Charge, and looks so powerful. Staraptor is powerful too and can learn Close Combat, but is still Normal/Flying, not Fighting/Flying. I keep waiting for the new regional bird to be revealed because Fletchling seems too good to be true.

    Reply
          • Ok. But do we know for a fact that it immediately evolves into Talonflame, or is there a middle stage we’re missing because it looks like Fletching went through the “Gyrados Effect” were it went from super small and weak to super big an powerful. I don;t buy it.

          • That is not known yet. My guess is that talonflame is the final evolution with a middle evolution still missing. Although I wish talonflame was the middle evolution, you are right that it would be unlikely because of the “Gyrados Effect”

          • I think Talonflame is the final evolution. Fletchling has 1 stripe on it’s tail. Talonflame has 3. Isn’t there something missing in between? It also has a very drastic change. It would be cool though if it were the middle stage, because that means the final evolution would look even better! But sadly, I doubt it.

          • There’s very likely a middle evolution, the official site specifies Talonflame as ‘AN evolution of Fletchling’ while all other evolved forms are stated as ‘THE evolved form of …’. So it implies that Talonflame is not the first form of Fletchling. 🙂

  69. what I find sad about doublade is the number of haters its going to get. the design is great ( I like how it looks like a pair of decorative swords 🙂 and honestly it fits an evolution for honedge. but now people are going to think of it as like the vanilite of 6 gen (I personally loved vanilite though)
    overall I really like the design and how it follows the same chain diglett and magnemite did

        • Hmm if i could make a Pokemon idea I would make the combo I’ve been waiting my Trainer-adolescent life.

          Combining my two favorite types Ground and Fighting
          would equal one thing “MUD WRESTLING PIG”

          A while back Mr. X and Y literally broke my heart with his fake
          ground fighting pig E.I Sueyplex (awesome name) and Warhog

          Sueyplex would’ve been a cubby rotund boar with nub tusks a reddish Mohawk and a mud caked body and thick hooves to grapple with

          and Warhog would be basically a Minotaur but with warthog features but a luchador mud mask

          The day i learned he was a fake killed me hopes and dreams

          Reply
          • Who knows, GF might make it happen! With a different name of course, but there’s still hope. Besides, GF seems to be in the mood for unique type combinations.

            Although Steel is my favorite type, I’m really hoping for a Bug/Dragon. Just think about it. How odd does that sound? Bug…Dragon. That’s more odd than Ground/Electric! How does one even create such a Pokémon? That is what I want to see GF do! It’s an odd type combination that has so much potential of being so great. Also, GF has been so close to making it happen with Flygon and Yanmega. Another reason why I want it to happen is because Bug and Dragon are based on creatures. To have two creature types merged into one would be INCREDIBLE!

      • You know how in some Pokémon games you can name your rival? Well, in Black and White 2, you can too. In the past, the rival you named was a jerk, always forcing you to battle when you are almost at the end of a mission, constantly declaring how he’s better than you, and just acting like he’s on top of the world. The rivals were so despicable. Because of this, trainers named their rivals something mean like “Douche”, “D*** Head”, “Stupid”, etc. So naturally, trainers, including myself, thought that Hugh would be that same annoying jerk. He wasn’t, he’s a sweet kid whose goal is to stop Team Plasma, and retrieve his sister’s Purloin that Team Plasma had stolen from her. Not only that, but he battles alongside with you sometimes. We all felt guilty. I swore, I would never make that mistake again and keep the rival’s name by default. And that’s what I call a “Hugh Moment”.

    These are not NOT my theories. This is leaked information from a primary source. The names and information are all pulled from the English Language setting.

    Lets get started shall we?

    New Pokemon:

    Koasma Koala like pokemon found laying about in fields and are brought to berry ranches to test flavor of berries. It has the ability Gluttony and is a Normal type pokemon.

    Eructit Evolution of Koasma. Much larger and rounder then Koasma. It is tan and has orange stripes on its back. It also holds onto a tree branch and is seen eating the leaves. This pokemon sits down and is much like Snorlax. Knows the new moves Belch and Herbivation. It also has the ability Truant and is a Normal type pokemon.

    Crucxole A pokemon that looks like cluster of roots (A dug up plant?) it has one yellow eye and a twig sprouting from its head. (Perhaps Oorotto pre-ev)

    New Moves:

    Herbivation A new bite/consumption move. Involves the eating plants. You can use this in place of the HM Cut to remove trees. Herbivation is said to be a Normal move that is super effective against Grass. Both Eructit andAurorus will learn this move.

    Wish I had more to give you guys! I Might have more info before the release.

  81. Hi everyone!

    Clara is the 7th Gym Leader of Kalos. She specializes in the Ghost-type. She uses Tricalibur (Ghost/Steel, evo of Doublade), Sableye (Dark/Ghost), Froslass (Ice/Ghost) and Plingoo (Fairy/Ghost, evolution of Spritzee). She is an old woman, a bit similar to Agatha in appearance, though more witchlike. I assume Clara comes from Clairvoyant.

    Plingoo, the evolution of Spritzee looks, like many predicted, like those Plague Doctors from the Middle Ages. It is tall and its cloak goes from pink to gray, and it is tattered at the bottom. It is a Fairy/Ghost type.

    • Uh, that’s not what Sacred Sword does.

      Sacred Sword inflicts damage, ignoring the target’s Defense and evasion boosts. However, Sacred Sword does not bypass Reflect.

      THAT is what it does. And that’s pretty awesome. Wonder if anything else might get the move.

      Reply
      • I know. It’s not the same as Aerial Ace and the like, but it’s still kind of silly.

        At least it’s got a good fighting move under its non-existent belt.

        Reply
        • Well, you could argue it’s silly for it to learn ANY moves that don’t have usually lower accuracy then. It’s not aa always hit move, it just has 100% accuracy. And it’s going to know a bunch of those moves. It’s just those moves can not miss under any circumstance. The more important thing is the fact that it’s other effect. That ignores DEFENSE boosts, besides reflects. Meaning those Bulk Ups, or whatever physical defense boost you do, it will ignore it. Really, the bigger thing here is the fact Sacred Sword was a Legendary Unique move, and now it isn’t. So that opens the board for what ELSE could get it.

          Reply
          • Heh. Only thing with that is, that’s like a Fighting version of Psystrike. Meaning it’s a special move, but deals physical damage. I don’t know if Doublade will have the special attack to even use the move very well.

          • Probably not.

            Other ‘Blade’ moves are a bit more likely now, like Leaf Blade. And X-Scissor, but that was probably obvious when it got two blades.

            What I really want is a Steel-type ‘Sword’ move. It’s kind of odd that that hasn’t happened yet. Seeing as that would fill one of its two STABs, and make it potentially more useful when Fairies come to town.

            Plus Bisharp needs some love, too.

    • You people say that every time something sylveon-related appears. In my opinion, there will be another eeveelution until officially denied or until the games come out. Thinking there will be none is a perfectly reasonable position, but I must say I’m getting sick of that “obvious fact” being thrust down my throat so frequently. Please don’t take this personally, this is just a general rant, your opinion is already valid enough, just no need to naysay on every occasion you can;).

      • I understand. You are right though, I really shouldn’t jump to conclusions. It hasn’t been confirmed nor denied, and there are 15 days left. Who knows. I just keep thinking there won’t be though because if there was going to be a second eeveelution, wouldn’t we have known already? Don’t forget about the Eevee Short. The Eevee family was there. Seems strange to have isolated one from the family if there was going to be another one. But like I said, who knows?

        • As I said, it’s perfectly reasonable to think there will be no new eveelution besides sylveon. I wouldn’t even call it jumping to conclusions :). It’s just I think the existence of an established pattern trumps lack of promotional logic. But then the keeping secret of mega mewtwo X rather than it’s combined revelation with the Y forme helps my case … Whatever, we will know soon enough!

  89. Yo, Tootles is BACK! Yeah, I CANCELED MY PRE-ORDER of X&Y cause these
    games are going to suck so much. The Pokemon still have SHADOWS IN SKY
    BATTLES?! LOL Lame! The attack animations barely look like they’re
    hitting the target, EVEN LAMER! All of the Pokemon revealed so far look
    terrible except Yveltal and Xerneas. It all went downhill after the
    reveal of this gen. Btw, Deadreaus you’re such a bitch. DO A BETTER JOB
    AS A MOD! You said you’d get rid of me, but look, I’M STILL HERE! lmao
    you’re a terrible mod. I’m friends with the phantom downvoter. Call me
    when gen 7 comes around cause this gen is Horrible. PRE ORDER CANCELED!
    NOT BUYING IT.
