Featured Thread: ‘Misprints’ in the Original Pokemon Handbook? … Or are They? by VirtueSereneGraceAuraHeart
The disappointment was super effective!
When I teach this thing Cut, I want to see an animation where my trainer dual wields the swords and cuts down that little tree.
It would piss me off to no end if Doublade couldn’t learn Cut.
I’m still pissed off from Blastoise/Samurott never receiving Shell Smash.
I can imagine it learning “Psycho Cut” since its well Psychic, and a Sword lol.
It’s ghost/steel.
LMFAO OMG R U SERIOUS? I thought it was Psychic/Steel this whole time lol (cause of the eye on the sword). Gosh I need to pay attention to detail lol
Well maybe they got rid of cut all together! Hopefully seeing as how it was such a useless HM. You really only needed it once or twice to get through the game. It would be cool though if they made certain pokemon able to cut, like honedge, without it being a move at all and you could cut down the little trees with them but it was only for side stuff like hidden areas
It would drain their energy! It would be bad for the trainer! I want to see it cut down the tree by itself. ;D
What ghost type DOESN’T slowly kill its trainer.
“It is now known that Honedge comes into being when a departed spirit possesses a sword that once belonged to humans. It can use the blue cloth attached to its hilt as nimbly as an arm. Pokémon Trainers who carelessly take this blade in hand may find the blue cloth wrapping itself around them and draining their energy!” It does. XD
I like it.
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.
And we all thought Honedge was “Out of Stock”. 😉
Ahaha, I remember that article!
Haha I’m glad you got the connection, I don’t think anyone else did 😛
I don’t get it…
Reference to this article: http://pokejungle.net/2013/07/28/pokemart-buy-1-get-1-or-2-free/
It’s a reference to an old article.
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 ^^
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.
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.
My thoughts exactly!!!
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. :/
Or a torso with arms!
Interesting! I was hoping for Helioptile. I never expected Honedge to get a evolution! Looks cool! I want to see it become the Master Sword! ;D
And perhaps catch it in a Masterball?
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.

Thanks, her name is Catniss. :3
Kawaii! Do you give Catniss catnip?
Hell yeah. And she always takes a daily Catpiss.
I was under the assumption that it was like a wall mount instead of a scabbard.
i suppose it doesn’t make much difference either way. :L
Ok i am leaving for class see ya guys!
Lol serebii with the puns: “What are you guys on about? I think the design is cutting-edge. It looks very sharp. Hell, I bet it has some decent STAB moves too.”
http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=83648701&postcount=326
And then two random spirits pop out and talk about the percentage that they might be sword pokemon, my guess is it will be 99%
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.
Vanillite/Vanillish/Vanilluxe of this gen? (Except I actually liked that Pokemon and Doublade is.. Meh. So-so. Haha) xD
What are you guys on about? I think the design is cutting-edge. It looks hella sharp!
I see your point.
I bet it has some decent STAB moves.
Serebii lol.
I was hoping someone would get the reference.
ahahaa
People really need to let Doublade sheath itself into their hearts. It’s definitely not a dull Pokémon and I’m sure it’ll wield a lot of power. 😀
Right? I guess some people just aren’t sharp enough to realize that.
Probably ‘Psycho Cut’
That’s a psychic type move…
Doublade and Honedge are Ghost/Steel…
I agree! I could see the animators having ash go to a sword academy where trainers become one with their pokemon and spar. Ash would use honedge and his rival would hold Doublade! Down the road a third evolution would be the a headless armor with a powerful sword/spear. What do you think?
Dunno, not sure it quite makes the cut.
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?
Agreed, just like everyone judged Vanilluxe, but it is actually pretty solid
Ok it looks like this whole Gen is based on midieval theme (Starters, Honedge, etc…)
I actually kinda liked it, definitely will have one on my team. I like to go up against everyone lol
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.
I like the change of color.
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”
Maybe gen 8 will give us Draceon.
Don’t speak such Blasphemy!! i have faith he will come be found in Kalos
I want it to learn X-Scissor and Cross Poison (or maybe Cross Chop)
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 . . .
let’s play guess the evolution method!
Slash your 3DS like a sword when leveling up!
lol
Maybe it involves swiping the touch screen with the stylus?
Take your DS and braek it in two.
Level up?
Pet it in Pokémon-Amie?
