Featured Thread: ‘Misprints’ in the Original Pokemon Handbook? … Or are They? by VirtueSereneGraceAuraHeart
kinda disappointed. not what I was expecting
Unexpected… Still cool to me.
woohoo
Dual-wielding… I’m naming mine either Roxas or Legolas.
ALL THE AWARDS
This is a good thing for honedge he was kinda bland love the evolution
Well i was hoping for Helioptiles evo…
And I have to say, not a big fan of Doublade.
I’m confused. No one could expect that, but it looks really cool
Well, thats um, unexpected to say the least. Well, Double-Edged Sword now has a whole new meaning!
Somebody better learn Double-Edge or I’m raging so hard.
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.
Well, it’s not what we expected but I like it. I honestly thought that Honedge woul be a standalone Pokémon but I’m liking the evo
wish they had 2 difference expressions, something yingyang like. One happy and one mad.
ying-yang was more of last gen’s theme, with the black and white of their taoism theme.
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.
I would have preferred a Stand Alone Honedge (like Cryoganal). Not necessarily needed :/ Meh
I stayed up past 1am for THIS!?…..Though its not horrible or anything…just hoped for a different pokemon. Night Everybody 😛
I did not see that one coming! Interesting though, I was sure honedge wouldn’t evolve.
I thought Honedge was going to be one of those Pokémon that seems really good, but is actually weak, and would evolve in a future generation.
Yeah I felt like it would have a decent attack stat but it wouldn’t be that great. I’m sure it will now though!
yay in need of a doublade avatar
🙂 (refresh if you don’t see picture)
Disappointed. But I hope it grows on me.
I love this evo i like how they have one spike each on the hilt part
Will the evolution be Tripledge?
what about “Tripale” ? (Triple + Impale), sounds close to Triple as well.
I really like that.
Perhaps this could be the Magnemite/Klink of this generation and we could see a third stage?
Can’t say any of us were expecting this…
Well, didn’t see that coming.
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?)
some people say the sheath is a shield
That looks like one of those decoration things that would be hung up on a wall, with two criscrossing swords. An example is in Pirates of the Caribbean 1, when the pirates attack Port Royal, and Elizabeth tries to pull a sword out of them.
A coat of arms
For all we know, it could be a 3 stage pseudo ghost knight. A steel/ghost knight would be epic. Brings back memories from Final Fantasy.
that’s what I was thinkin!
That would make it much better.
i was thinking that too.
Let’s hope so. I like Honedge’s design, but i don’t want to see the line stop here, or end in 3 swords
But, you can’t exactly triple-wield swords…
unless you’re Zoro Roronoa or some other anime character.
Santoryu!!!!
If tit becomes three blades, it’ll learn Tri-Attack! Unfortunately, it’s probably going to be a physical attacker. *sigh*
omg that’d be perfect
If it doesn’t get another evolution, then I hope its possible for it to receive Mega Kangaskhan’s ability where it can attack twice haha. But I can imagine there becoming an evo with 3 blades.
I’m looking at
Diglett, Magnemite, Klink, Doduo, all who had the same type of evolutions where their evolve forms just added on the same poke lol.
But then Magnezone happened and all three magnemite morphed into a giant UFO with eyes as shoulders and became one of the most loved Pokémon ever.
I do love me some magnezone 🙂 although it’s design is quite random..
I predict “Tripledge” rather than Triplade.
I would love it to be like a headless knight, if it evolved. The eyes on the ‘shoulders’ could just stay there. Either way, I’m hoping for a third evo too. Although this is pretty cool!
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.
Steel types are epic. I was not expecting this!
