Featured Thread: ‘Misprints’ in the Original Pokemon Handbook? … Or are They? by VirtueSereneGraceAuraHeart
Guy, according to this article on Kotaku, the Rhyhorn in our yard is ride-able, but only for a bit since its sleepy and tried (lazy one). Its mention in the paragraph right before the picture of Sycamore and the new Pokemon:
http://kotaku.com/pokemon-hasnt-really-felt-exciting-in-a-long-while-u-1387642897
Aand now I’m a bit frazzled, the Kotaku writer mentions he “like to play the game with the slider all the way up” after talking about the flowers. Wasn’t the over world confirmed to have no 3D effects?
That’s an interesting interview. I do agree with her about BW and BW2. But this is getting me even more hyped for X and Y 🙂
Indeed, but her interview did hold a few new details we didn’t know before, and some that puzzled me, which was the 3D part? Was she referring to the over-world or something else?
“This might be the first game I’ve played on the 3DS that actually looks best with the slider turned all the way up, too.”
Brought my hopes….back up way high
No 3D over world was a huge disappointment for me. Even a little detail like this, is brightening my day 🙂
Now excuse me as I go post this on the forums for everyone to see!
Please do so. As you made my day so much better by mentioning this 😀
You are welcome my dear friend 😉
Chespin originally was going to have more spikes!!? WHHAAT!?
It was an awesome article. Very interesting read!
We should ignore this Doublade and hope it goes away.
I may not be a scientologicist, but I don’t think it can go away.
Shhhh… wait! it’s getting ready to leave.
Nope…I’m almost certain that it’s not leaving. XD
Maybe we can make it battle Klingklang, they get tangled up, become useless and we can throw it in the trash.
Isn’t leave and don’t hate you genwunner!
Maybe we should ignore you and hope you go away.
hey don’t hate on doublade 🙁 its beautiful the way it is
I think doublade is the next spiritomb, I mean look at spiritomb, it’s like a genie but instead of a lamp it caries a heavy rock with a sad face on it (he’s cool anyways) plus my first impression when I saw i was like “a space, plant, microbial pokemon), because of the green part in its face.
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.
We have seen it as level 2.
There could be another Route 1 bird that’s yet to be revealed.
Unlikely. Fletchling will be the regional bird, 99.99% sure of it.
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. 🙂
What about Pidgey and Spearow in gen 1?
That day, humanity received a grim reminder…
Look below my weary friend, we got some pleasing news from Kotaku 😀
What if Bianca gave you the starter in BW2 as a foreshadowing of your friend giving you the starter in X and Y?
What if the colors red and blue being together is a foreshadowing of a Hoenn remake?
I think you mean a Red and Blue remake
Ruby/Sapphire is red/blue too xD
What if remakes are overrated and Hoenn isn’t even that good of a region?
Well then that’s your opinion. (:
What if the Torchic distribution is a foreshadowing of the Hoenn Remakes?
What if Half-Life 3 is confirmed with the Hoenn remakes (which the latter is bound to happen)?
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
What if Honedge final evo had the same stats as Gengar but with special attack swapped with attack….think about that
that’s probably going to happen. it is a sword after all. all you can really do is max out its attack
Even though I’m neutral about it’s design….I have hopes for it’s stats and new attacks it could learn.
yeah me two. I just don’t want people to start hating on x and y just because of one pokemon (you know like what happened to black and white)
I just noticed, GF hasn’t revealed a new Poison and Ground Pokémon yet. Do you think we’ll get to see them before X and Y are released?
Skrelp?
Dang it I forgot about it! Scratch that, Ground I mean. Well, there’s the rumored Bunnelby evolution.
there’s skrelp and in a way bunnelby (which will probably become a ground type)
The Digging Pokemon. Normal/Ground. Called it.
Did somebody say my favorite type! ^O^
Every generation has Badass ground types
Rhydon, Nidoking, Sandslash
Donphan, Steelix, Gligar
Swampert, Flygon, Groudon
Rhyperior, Torterra, Mamoswine, Hippowdon, Garchomp (IV had amazing ground)
Excadrill, Krookodile, Sesmitoad, Stunfisk, Golurk
Soon i’ll tame the Ground Pokemon of Kalos!
17 types down, one more to go and 16 more days left! Perhaps GF was saving your favorite type for last on purpose! What new Ground type Pokémon will we see before X and Y are released? It’s probably going to be Bunnelby’s evolution.
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
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!
Ground and fighting…you mean like terrakion? Lol that type combo already exists
Terrakion is Rock/Fighting not Ground/Fighting
ahh so it is
ground is basically anti-anti-fairy right now
Remember everyone! If the rival can be named, don’t give him/her a mean name! We don’t wan a “Hugh Moment” again do we?
I never owned Black 2 or White 2. Make the fog in my hemisphere clearer with truth.
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”.
I understand clearly now, young blade wielder. May your sword stay sharp.
It will.
That…. Was…. Butiful 🙂
Well, he did keep making Team Plasma feel his rage. For that, I call him Totodile, because he uses Rage.
Either that or call him Quilfish.
http://media-cerulean.cursecdn.com/attachments/thumbnails/4/964/530/530/xerneas_battle_scene.png does any one have a gif of this attack?
What are these?
http://images.4chan.org/vp/src/1380158905557.jpg
Looks like a ferret.
looks legit, and adorable!
Looks like a sloth/ferret kinda. I think it may actually be real!
that… is… so… KAWAII!!! 😀
I also made you this a long time ago (refresh if you don’t see it)
Also the official art of it looks exactly like Masuda’s. There is no trace of it being photo shopped in…it might just be real.
do you mind making a doublade avatar like the one i already have
I already did a few hours ago. I don’t want to spam so check your replies 🙂
Jordin, why are you so awesome? 😀
The question is…why are you? 😀
We’re both awesome. 😀
Shiny Metagross for me? haha i can ask.
Here you go 🙂
Awesome. Thanks man. Looks better than I thought haha.
No problem!
OMG THANK SO MUCH! I love it~ Never noticed it, sorry )=
No problem! 😀
Looks like a furret rip-off. Not saying it’s a bad design because it’s not. It’s quite good. It’s just that it’s a furret rip-off.
Well it isn’t like multiple species of ferrets don’t exist in the world, plus it could be a weasel too.
Or a mink. *wink*
What is Linoone supposed to be exactly?
A badger and something else. Btw,
I love Linoone.
I always thought that Linoone was a Furret rip-off, so I was just asking to confirm. No offense to Linoone.
I love Furret too, ’cause I have a ferret in rl.
That’s really cool. 😀
Raccoon.
wulava says its fake
Link? I personally believe it is.
http://www.serebiiforums.com/showthread.php?594378-Dex-Speculation-Discussion-Thread/page2659
i dont think the forums of serebii holds any leverage in what is fake and what is real.
Agreed. I think this could be another Pyroar situation (unwanted leaks)
i personally think its real
I’m near certain it is; I mean, it has the trademark Sugimori style, a 3D model which matches that of other Pokemon-Amie participants, and it’s a design no artist would have randomly created. But hey, people can be crafty these days.
I kinda hope so. Real or fake it is awesome haha.
I want it to be real so I can laugh at them.
Well, remember when EVERYBODY thought the leaks of Last Generation’s starters were fake too? Just saying, anything could happen.
It looks legit, especially the 3D model
Fake? I don’t know what to believe anymore! XD
It’s not bad and it can be looked at as very convincing. However I think that there is just something a little off putting about it that makes the amount of doubt increase that much more…….hmmmm
Very cute little mink pokemon! I love it!
Even if it is fake, I certainly appreciate the detail and thought they put into it.
This looks real. Not too fond of the eyes though. It would be a lot cuter with opened eyes
I like this one. hope it is real!
fingers crossed for real and ice type no!?
The chan post stated it was normal type.
It looks fake to me but we’ll see.
I can’t see it 🙁 What does the image show?
Hey everyone, I think Doublade is gonna evolve again into a possessed suit of armor! I really hope this is the case! Doublade looks awesome!
Thats what I wanted.
So happy for it its so close yet so far and this pokemon is epic and I got my poster ready
i know gta is on the side i have lots of posters
You already got your poster!?!? Still waiting for mine.
when u pre order you get it right after u get the receipt
WAT!?!?
I pre ordered 2 months ago… I was freaking gibbed.
How much days for Pokemon x and y?
I think we are half-way there.
like 17/16
16 days and 3 hours actually PST
My god it seems short I can’t wait to start my Journey.
I’ve seen a lot of fans complaining about how Honedge WAS in there team but Doublade made them change their minds because they say it looks stupid…..really?? I’ve seen it on Reddit, Neoseeker, Facebook, and Twitter. Have those fans forgotten that Everstones exist? If you don’t like the evolution but you like Honedge just give it an Everstone.
Right I’m asserting it more than in the morning because I always had this medieval suit of armor in my head cutting xernas head of. I just got really mad but I’m still using him doubleblade.
Cutting Xerneas’ head off? Whatever floats your boat. 😛
There is always the b-button
Anyone else (other than me) hoping that the insides of each Pokemon Center to be unique? Like the design of the Pokemon Center corresponds to the design of the town/city you’re in.. Like for example, you’re in Pacifidlog town and the Pokemon center there has wooden planks used for their flooring and has the design of a cabin.. Just a little change I hope they add but it would be a cool thing haha xD
Great idea; I don’t know why such a detail wouldn’t be included in the series for this long!
They haven’t revealed how the interior of Pokemon centers look like, right? There might be a small chance that they’ll add it xD
They did say that they want to showcase beauty in Kalos and are removing the 3D stereoscopic so they can make Kalos more detailed, so I would definitely like the feature you mentioned.
And this isn’t even his final form!
Jk, it better be, but I won’t mind another, but then Honedge would be weaker than I thought if it evolves twice.What other random surprises will you pull on us, Gamefreak? It all started with the “accidental” Skiddo reveal, and it’s led us on for months!
Remember the big Sylveon debate on it’s type? Yeah, GF don’t do that again, you were killing us. DX
Oh god, that was AWFUL. How many months was it, like five? I could not stand the debate between EVERY PERSON. Ugh. XD
Well, it kept us occupied for waiting soo long.
I guess their intention was to keep every fan up to date by leaving at least one mystery at all times. Genius!
Evil genius, the wait was- no IS still terrible!
It’s the final 100 meter dash! We can make it! 😀
It’s just around the corner! We can do this! I’m so going to pwn with Doublade! Honedge has a spot on the team already, and to all our surprises it evolves! I’ll have Fennekin, Honedge, Malamar, Helioptile, Amaura, and either Noivern or a Fairy/Flying type here for X team, and Froakie, Litleo, Meowstic, Tyrunt, Gogoat, and Furfrou in Y team.
Froakie, Venusaur, Noivern, Aurorus, Doublade, Malamar and maybe Helioptile for me. Wow, we almost have the same taste in Pokemon.
Great minds battle alike?
Beautifully put.
Yessiree. I’m going to bed now, bai!
*Looks at Oorotto*
See? Well, that one is a bit ridiculous, because it’s been shown in multiple trailers without a single mention by Gamefreak.
GF: *pretends to not see it*
Us: WE KNOW ITS THERE, GF!!
Me:*shouts from back of room* There’s freaking five living trees on the screen!
Can you spot the fake one? I love that little detail. A fake tree among real trees! Sudowoodo in an Oorotto hoard.
It was so obvious it was a new type. IDK why most people had difficulty figuring it out. The bigger question was what the new type it would be. Like most of us, I speculated it would have been Light.
any one else watching ign closely today for an “accidental” reveal?
Well, we may not this week, given they gave us Doublade here, which still follows the pattern mostly, just a day early.
i need a new avatar please help me decide!!
If you want a new avatar…definitely don’t speak to Jordin.
haha i was gonna maybe ask him if it doesnt bother him too much but i just need help deciding Mr. Shiny!!
It doesn’t bother me 🙂
hey thanks Jordin I just don’t know what I want yet sorry lol
Whenever you’re ready just ask 🙂 I have to go now though so good night/good morning everyone!
See ya later Jordin! 😀
In a while Krookodile!
They haven’t shown a trailer for Aurorus, Tyrantrum, or Doublade. My guess is that they are waiting for new Pokemon to be revealed to release the trailer.
yes…..today……right now lol
We’ll probably see another official reveal within the next few days, so we might get a trailer at the middle of next week or something.
maybe smash will go out with a BANG!
YES the final Smash is this Saturday! 😀 It could be incredible!
I think this is what gf was waiting for think about it end smash with a bang start star with a bang
The stars are all aligned for their ultimate reveal OF…an alternate Surskit evolution, probably. Just to troll us.
Gonna sleep now so I can be surprised tomorrow lol
What’s the Surskit evo called, oh mighty and all-seeing Xatu?
If that’s true, I really hope it STAYS bug/water. Such a shame to lose a unique typing for such a standard one.
Quilladin is already awesome, and the official art captured it with an awkward angle which didn’t help its first impression. If you remove its roundness, give it a more fierce look to replace that hyped face, and give it elbow joint, you will see that Quilladin is epic. Artwork belongs to Clockwork-Andy on Tumblr.
Exactly, I didn’t like it AT ALL after the corocoro scans were revealed; and then, I LOVED it after seeing the gameplay screenshots and video.
This is a pretty good concept of what Doublade can evolve into
If this were true, I would take back all of my less than kind words I have had said against the honedge line.
lmao
Lol me too
I thought Yu-Gi-Oh! when I read the bottom lol.
lmao! i think theres a magic card that switches you’re attack for defense and visa-versa
Attack On Titan
http://allthosepokemonthings.tumblr.com/post/62272683558/and-this-is-why-it-will-be-named-mikasa
Eh if it wrapped around your arms then youre the god of war
Hmm, can you think of some names for another evolution?
This is what I have:
Scimitrin/scimitri/scimitrine/Scimiteri (Scimitar + Three)
Trininite (Trinity + knight)
Trininives (Trinity + Knives)
Trislice or Triapier(Tri+Rapier)?
I forgot to say this when Fairy Type was revealed: “Congratulations Game Freak! You are the first video game corporation to create a franchise that DOESN’T have light as a type!”
