Featured Thread: ‘Misprints’ in the Original Pokemon Handbook? … Or are They? by VirtueSereneGraceAuraHeart
Seems neat… but also weird. Not sure what to think.
I’m sorry lol, can we just take a moment to look in awe at this amazingly cool attack by Yveltal?
http://i.imgur.com/ykqupzW.gif
*drools….
Excuse me while I change my forever ruined pants
It’s sick, isn’t it! Soooo awesome. Drops down from a portal, purple flames, attacks from behind, and disappears…wow!
Yveltal is becoming one of my favorite legendaries. I’m probably gonna use it on my team after the Elite 4, something I never usually do.
It’s one of my favorite legendaries too. Heck, it might be my favorite legendary of all time! I want to use it so badly, but its too powerful being a mascot legendary. I suppose I could use it post game too, but I don’t want to replace one of my party members.
I wish I got Y version now….. -_-
You pre-ordered X?
yeah…cuz of clauncher, and the title screen with Xerneas
Lol, someone coulda traded you Clauncher 😛
I think it was more of the title screen with the foresty backround….I just loved it and considering the fact the I will see the title screen of a pokemon game more than anything else….I chose X…yeah pretty stupid reason….
YVELTAL! 😛
You didn’t chose it because of Xerneas. Does anyone even like Xerneas? I feel so sorry for it! I want to like it a lot, but I just like Yveltal a heck lot more!
Xerneas is cool, but I like Yveltal more….yeah I’m an odd one ordering a pokemon game for the better title screen 😛
Xerneas = Forest Spirit in Princess Mononoke.
One of the reasons I still like Xerneas
I love Xerneas and intend to play X first. I love Yveltal, too, but the fairy deer of the forest takes the cake for me. Then again, I’ve almost always preferred the game that most people didn’t. I played blue first (NINETALES!) rather than red, silver (Lugia ftw! also Ninetales) rather than gold, sapphire rather than ruby (I simply liked Kyogre better; where the fuck is my Ninetales?), leafgreen rather than firered, I never played the 4th gen games, and I’ve played white 2 rather than black 2.
i’m pretty sure Silver was waaaay more popular than Gold especially with the release of pokemon 2000 and Lugia being the main legendary in the movie. Plus even though I chose Gold, Lugia kinda looks more badass than a rainbow turkey.
but I like rainbow turkeys! 🙁
Yep it was. I was 11 or 12 when GS came out and I chose Gold cause I knew my brother was only getting Silver cause everyone loved Lugia. I used to always root for the underdog and still do. I’m going with X this time, Yvetal and its animations are already popular.
I personally like xerneas more than yveltal. Xerneas is the only reason I prefer X. (Yet I’m getting both). The only thing is that I like the Y exclusives better..I prefer skrelp to clauncher and spritzee to swirlix. This always happens to me. I prefer the legendary on one game but the exclusives on the other. It sucks
I love Xerneas, Yveltal not so much. 🙂
I picked X just because I prefer Xerneas more.
Same here…
Yup, that’s the dilemma. It’s really powerful, and I’m not one to use legendaries on my team. This is why most likely after the Elite 4, so it’s not too easy. Just wonder what my final team will be and who I’ll have to choose to replace with Yveltal.
The attacking from behind really did it for me…..and the darkness was a good touch.
Same here that “Shadow Force” sold me. The more I see it, the more I want to Destroy Everyo— I mean use it against my opponents.
I wish that sucker punch also had the attack from behind animation….
At first I thought it was Shadow Force, but then I thought, “That’s Giratina’s signature move, it wouldn’t be special anymore”.
I bet my shiny Quagsire that Xerneas and Yveltal have more than one signature move, just like Reshiram and Zekrom.
Giratina’s weak to Fairy now. At this point, I don’t think it even cares that another Pokémon is using its Signature move.
Jigglypuff (retyped into normal/fairy) is Giratina’s worst nightmare..
It’s confirmed normal/fairy in the official website
Oh yeah..i forgot.
Couldn’t hit a Pokemon in the back on the DS! It’s so cool!!
Exactly…so cool
The attack animation sound makes it even more awesome! 0:12
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qeVqnFjxRHA
These TV adverts continue to build up hype for me. Man those battle animations look so good!
Giratina and Darkrai envy Yveltal.
Yvetal says,” I’m more badass than you, and you can’t nuthin about! WOOOOOT!,”
It doesn’t say WOOOOOT! That takes the effect away from it. It’s more of a smug face.
if Darkrai gets a Dark/Fairy typing it will no longer envy Yveltal lol
It’s official. I’m getting both. A 1st for me. XD
Imagine that being used against you by someone else using Yveltal.
I’m scared! It’s stealing the soul of the Pokemon!
Yveltal has come from the ninth dimension to reap your Pokemon’s souls. >:D Just in time for Halloween too.
MUWAHAHAHAHA!!!
Look at Yveltal’s level! 61 means we should be getting it fairly early in the game! 😀 I’m so glad I’m getting Y! Everyone is going for X because of Xerneas believe it or not!
I’m really glad I’m getting Y too! Yveltal is so cool!! Will be on my team post-Elite 4.
Edit: I’m getting both, but playing Y first.
I don’t use legendaries in my playthroughs of the game because that would be too easy. At first I would use legendaries because I was new to the games. Then I saw people hated other people who use legendaries so I don’t use them. I’m glad I don’t because it takes the fun out of the games :
I never use legendaries on my team. I agree it makes the game too easy. That’s why I’ll use Yveltal in the Post game. This Pokemon is too amazing for me not to use.
I can’t wait to see older Pokemon in battle! Yveltal’s model looks amazing so I’m most definitely going to use it! I think there could be two evil teams though. One uses Yveltal and one uses Xerneas. Team Flare captures the power of Xerneas’ beauty and uses it and the other team uses Yveltal to stop it…I don’t know it’s just a theory.
At this point I doubt there’s another team, but you never know….however if there is…you know what that means?
R/S REMAKES!!!!!! CONFIRMED!!!
WOOT WOOT!
Oh right…today is HUMP DAY!
http://www.mypokecard.com/en/Gallery/my/galery/thumbs/rf8VH1YFqYJ1.jpg
It’s super effective!
OMG they should make a camel pokemon. I mean there IS a desert area so why not!
Camerupt says hello.
Now I just feel stupid DX How could I not remember?!
I’m sorry. I’ve broken that rule many a time. Articuno and Mew just happen to be favourites of mine. On the other hand, ice/flying isn’t the best type combination, and I never evolve my Dragonair, and Ninetales is apparently not considered one of the best fire types, and Serperior is a grass type and grass types have a lot of weaknesses. So I guess it balances out.
It’s not really a rule, it’s a personal choice. You can plan/have your team the way you want 🙂
I’m with you jordin, but I do use regice and that’s it.
Ah, fellow Milotic lover! Hello!
Hello there!!! i guess were two milotics roaming this site now lol! Yes, i am a mitotic lover and i always have one in my team no matter what region I’m on, ( although i didn’t like the milotics that have appear in the anime because they make them look weak except for wallace’s mitotic, that one could actually levitate!! i think its better if mitotic has levitate instead of having marvel scale…. Omg, do you think mitotic might get a mega evo???? ( I’ve been praying for one lol!)
I hope so, and I wouldn’t mind a Water/Fairy retype. In fact, I anticipate it.
true but that means that it will have more weaknesses plus with out fairy type mitotic could still defeat dragon types with ice/ dragon moves. which makes it awesome!!!
I’m getting both but Yveltal is awesome!
#YveltalnatorsFTW
Where’s Dicie when you need him? lol
Lv 61 is pretty high actually, well probs get it the same time we got other mascots which isn’t really early. Hopefully 45-50 like usual 🙂
My brotha. ;D (Y VERSION HIGH FIVE!)
The people you are around certainly aren’t representative of the majority; check any major site and you’ll see that Y is the more popular version.
I have been looking at threads on Neoseeker, etc. and everyone is saying “X! Xerneas is awesome!” “So majestic!” “I’m using it because of Princess Mononoke!” while a few say, “Y! I like Yveltal!” Now that I do look again it looks like Y is more popular now.
Am I the only one wanting the mascot legendaries to be at Level 30?
That looks so freaking epic.
I’m really liking Yveltal more and more.. poor Xerneas.
0.0
TALONFLAME!!! THE FLAME HIT RIGHT AT THE NECK! WOW, SCARY!!
That’s so awesome!! But evil!!!!!!! Yveltal really does fit it!
I like Xerneas better, but Yveltal is absolutely amazing! Last time I’ve liked both legionaries almost the same was second gen. with Lugia and Ho-oh
Oh yeah I just realized Yveltal can be in sky battles…..but Xerneas can’t!
That’s unfair! Yveltal more special 🙁
Don’t get your hopes down, what if Xerneas can float? o_o
He isn’t Flying type and doesn’t have Levitate, he won’t be able to participate in Sky Battles 😛
I always thought Xerneas was more special due to it being a brand new type, even though I like Yveltal better.
You know, the specific movement and stuff makes me wonder how would pokegen and action replay work with this game … would a pikachu be able to use that movement if someone gave him that move? XD My guess is that the game would bug up and the pokemon will look deformed and freeze the game lol
I just thought of something, what if this is just Faint attack (which I doubt)? I mean, it IS called Sneak Attack in Japan.
LOL, too much animation for it
With portals and purple flames lol? Nah.
Could this be the new Shadow Force move animation?
I doubt it. That’s Giratina’s signature move. I think this is another Dark type signature move for Yveltal. But we’ll find out soon enough 😀
Yveltal= Most badass legendary ever!
Can anyone calculate the base HP stat of Yveltal? 243 HP at Level 61
WE NEED A BUG/DRAGON TYPE!
Hopefully it will learn some steel or poison moves also…..
THAT’S WHAT I’VE BEEN WISHING FOR!!!
http://imgur.com/xsuxFRU
What kind of creature is that?!
Devil’s Flower Mantis
If that does become a Pokémon and is Bug/Dragon, I will cry, cry of joy.
Ew, I was thinking more of a giant monster bug or something.
They scream bug/dragon.
http://s01.justpaste.it/files/justpaste/mantis11.jpg
That one’s pretty cool actually!
Ew, bugs like that kinda freak me out. I was thinking a giand dragon with mantis wings.
I agree. There is actually an insect called “the dragon bug” that I wouldn’t mind them getting inspiration from.
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.
OMG YES I AGREE. The slowpoke/shellder thing, and the mantyke and remoraid should’ve been done long ago.
My heart if doubledge evolves
http://www.learntarot.com/bigjpgs/swords03.jpg
Honedge = Pwnedge <3
Doublade = Pwnedge x2 <3 <3
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
by oneself.
I know it’s a bit off topic, but the series finale of Best Wishes is Tomorrow!!! I thought the series would never end!
That’s what I thought with the d/p series…so many episodes..
At least there were so many good things about the D/P series. What does Best Wishes have? Neo Team Rocket before Season 2. Meloetta Arc. Episode N. Alexa and her Kalos Pokémon’s appearance. Is that it?
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!
Immediately thought of this
I thought of this:
Cool
I barley got here from school.
Yay guessed that Honedge has in evolution. Sucks that it’s not that creative
My new team (my fourth reconsideration)
Frogadier Evo (Water/Fighting)
Venusaur (Grass/Poison)
Noivern (Flying/Dragon)
Aurorus (Rock/Ice)
Doublade (Steel/Ghost)
Ground/Bug/Electric/Dark/Fairy type here
Dedenne c: Killing 2 birds with one stone c:
But that would leave you *vulnerable* to electric (b/c no grass type, imo I wouldn’t use doublade b/c competitively, steel is useless for your team [Poison super effects fairy and Fighting super effects rock and ice], and ghost could easily be replaced by a dark type, leaving you with a spare type [*cough* ground *cough*], if krookodile is available you could use him c:, all of this is just a suggestion though)
I’m basically trying to get as full of a type coverage as possible. I could go with Dedenne’s Electric/Fairy, Malamar’s Dark/Psychic, or Bunnelby’s possible Ground.
If you don’t get Dedenne…well you know. Malamar is awesome and has good type coverage. I’d say ditch Bunnelby even if it is Ground. Especially if it’s Normal/Ground.
I think Malamar will be my most probable choice: it’s design is one of my favorites, and Dark/Psychic is a great type. I MAY not use it and open the slot for another not-yet-revealed Kalos favorite.
Where’s Xatu?
Haha, well, maybe if it gets a Mega Evolution.
My Team:
Ultimate Froakie* (Water/Fighting)
Mawile (Steel/Fairy)
Chandelure (Ghost/Fire)
Bug/Dragon if it comes true
Psychic/Electric/Flying type here
*Ultimate is the term I use for the final form of a Pokémon, but before Mega. It’s a reference to Ben 10 Ultimate Alien.
Good choice with Mawile, I hadn’t considered Pokemon getting Mega Evolutions. I’ll have to think about that one…
Mawile is my favorite, and I’m so happy that he (I plan on hving him being male) gets a Mega Evolution so I can FINALLY use him without worrying about his fainting so much.
I may use Garchomp, probably not though.
My Team:
Braixen Evo (Fire/Psychic) [Nicknamed: Hermione, female]
Aurorus (Rock/Ice) [Nicknamed: Aura, female]
Noivern (Flying/Dragon) [Nicknamed: Nightwing, male]
Pangoro (Fighting/Dark( [Nicknamed: Panchamp, male]
Dedenne (Electric/Fairy) [No Nick, male]
and the 6th poke will be rotating between Xernias and an old poke that is retconned Fairy
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
That might turn into the coolest “Triple” Pokemon (Dugtrio, Magneton, etc) ever created! Love your idea!
Thanks! 😀
Are you serious!? >_> That is the most a…
AMAZING drawing for a non-artist! I like the idea and the depiction! 😀
Thank you Jordin :))
That looks awesome! We need a Doublade evo like that.
Thanks! 🙂
I saw a drawing on Reddit of a possible Doublade evolution becoming more of a coat of arms looking Pokemon, the coat of arms having an eye like the swords.

If this does not happen, there will be rage.
What do you guys think? If this are or were the real final evolutions of the starters I’m really liking them, they look awesome 🙂
http://zerudez.deviantart.com/art/Kalos-Final-Evos-402834252
That Braixen evolution is different from the one in the picture though. I think it’s even better than Zerudez’ depiction of Braixen’s evolution!
I do agree that Fennekin image above looks better than zerudez’s
They were proven false. Also Quilladin’s evolution isn’t there 🙁
Fake now.
How are you guys going to pronounce this guy’s name? Is it Duh-blade (Double + Blade), Doo-Blade (Dual + Blade), or Doo-oh-blade (Duo + Blade)?
I feel like it’s going to be the last one, simply because of Doduo and Duosion.
I say Doo-blahd
“dou” is typically pronounced “doo” in french
I think it might be pronounced as doub-lade as it is French.
But Doduo evolved into a three-headed evolution and what does the Reuniclus line have to do with this?
Duo
So? This Pokemon’s name doesn’t have duo in it’s name, it has dou
I really don’t care how the anime pronounces it, I’m going to pronounce it like Duh-blade.
The anime has weird pronunciations anyways.
Who wants to say that Pokemon is going to reveal a new Pokemon or something each week before Pokemon X & Y because last week they revealed Tyrantrum and Aurorus and now they revealed this and there is two more weeks before Pokemon X & Y’s release.
Don’t forget Pyroar two weeks ago.
They should include a hidden Pokemon on a page inside of the special 3DS XL. That would make my day.
Do you imagine it?! I love it!! pokemon needs to be more like this!!! The design is awesome
Just get rid of it having the starters abilities and it’s a great idea.
Why does this remind me of Deku Link?
I thought you were referring to Doublade until I refreshed XD
Woohoo!!! Go LUISBrain
Tikki Pokemon! That’s cool! It’s name sounds very close to “Hickey” though lol.
I just noticed Honedge and Doublade give of a Wind Waker feel. Played that game too much I suppose.
Don’t know what you are talking about, but I love Wind Waker so it’s another reason for me to use a Doublade!
Probably because Honedge somewhat looks like the sword from Wind Waker.
I know, I know, it looks like the Master Sword XD
I love windwaker…I’m gonna get the HD version after pokemon X and Y
http://mynintendonews.com/2013/09/25/new-pokemon-x-y-information-emerges-
looks-at-games-mechanical-changes/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter
I think the game looks a bit too realistic…
Could this hint at Nintendo making an HDS?
I find the Exp. Share changing to Exp. All the most interesting. That’ll certainly make leveling your whole team easier.
I don’t wanna read the caption showing experience received for every pokemon in my party….it would take too long
I agree there. What if it just said “Chespin gained 4 experience, everyone else gained 2 experience”?
yes but what if you switch out some pokemon? They will receive more than 2 exp?
Ok, it’d be nice if they kept the Exp. Share, and also introduced the Exp. All.
Me too! For a person that likes to maintain my party Pokemon’s levels almost equal (like me) to each other this is very helpful!
That’s what I like to do too! Only, I keep my starter about 2 levels higher than the rest.
Their friendship is going to be over 9000!1!!!!!!!!!111!!
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.”
Didn’t that use to exist in first gen or am i losing my mind?
Did what exist in the first gen?
All this is new.
Yes in gen 1, we had exp all, but it divided exp by the number of party members instead of giving every other one a fixed exp.
I haven’t touched gen 1 since but that I do remember.Thanks!
I’m prob too old anyways…but yeah I remember that detail quite well
My mistake. In RBY, it still have 50% exp to every other party member not in battle.
I actually hated Exp. All in Red and Blue as a veteran, because you have to
repeatedly press “A” to get through all of the text showing which
pokemon got how much experience. I hope they fix this in X and Y.
This may sound really stupid, but…they had an Exp. All in Red and Blue?
Yup…here the link for those who don’t know
http://poliwager.net/rby/expall.shtml
And here is a picture:
http://pad1.whstatic.com/images/thumb/9/9d/Get-Exp.-Share-Step-3.jpg/550px-Get-Exp.-Share-Step-3.jpg
Wow I never knew this, and to think that I have been asking for an Exp. All for years.
I was glad they removed it in GSC, back in the day
I guess it could get annoying, but if you have high-leveled Pokemon you won’t need to worry about pressing A over and over as levels rapidly increase.
Does that mean you would have to give the Exp Share to the pokemon participating in battle?
Hey! Why not update the article with this info everyone seemed to miss: http://bulbanews.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Nintendo_Dream_interview_reveals_new_mechanic_changes!
I kind of like the Exp. All (again), but how will we train single pokes.. store the rest? :/ Wonder if the lucky egg is still around.
The Lucky Egg is my favorite item.
I love it! I know that it’s basically two Honedge(s), but it still looks cool, and I bet it will look sweet in battle. I plan on using one.
GUYS, Moving changed his avatar! He no longer likes Daft Punk! XD
Explain.
Click on “Community” and scroll down to moving.
Yeah…that was a pointless comment. If you haven’t noticed, I am an awkward person.
I’m loving Doublade! It looks really cool! I might have to add it to my team!
