Pokémon Mascot Showdown: Generation VI

by

Greetings everyone, here is another Mascot Pokémon Showdown. The winner of last time is Zekrom with 35%!
Now it’s time for Kalos. Generation VI released in 2013 with a worldwide release for the first time. This generation contained just two main games, namely X and Y, and featured some great new stuff like the Fairy-typing, Mega Evolution and trainer customization.

Pokémon X Version

Pokémon X showcased Xerneas, the Life Pokémon. It’s the first Fairy-type Legendary and is a stag-like creature shaped like an X. The horns on its head contain the colors of the rainbow and can grant someone eternal life. When it’s at the end of its own life, it transforms into a tree and sleeps for 1000 years.

There is no other Pokémon known than Xerneas that can learn the move Geomancy, making it the only Legendary Mascot whose signature move is a status move. It has the same stat distribution as Yveltal, but has the highest base stat total and Attack stat of all non-Mega Evolved Fairy-type Pokémon. Its name may come from the letter ‘X‘ and ‘cervus‘ (Latin for ‘deer’).

Pokémon Y Version

Pokémon Y featured Yveltal, the Destruction Pokémon. It is an avian Pokémon with the Dark/Flying type combo. Its wings and tail make the letter Y when fully extended. It has the power to absorb life energy. In contrast to Xerneas, Yveltal sucks all the life energy of every living thing around it when it is at the end of its life, creating a cocoon of itself so it can sleep for 1000 years.

Yveltal‘s signature move is called Oblivion Wing. It has the highest base HP stat of all Dark-type Pokémon and is actually also the only Dark-type Mascot Legendary Pokémon known yet. Its name possibly derives from the letter ‘Y‘, ‘yvel‘ (Middle English for ‘evil’) and ‘talon‘.

      • “Select few” Well, Niantic is officially the world’s most horrible company, they don’t even release all of Gen 2. Someone needs to assassinate the entire Go creators and sell their bodies.

      • It’s a good marketing strategy: drag it out

        Also prevents fans getting overwhelmed by all the new faces, people only really know the first 151

        • It’s a terrible marketing strategy; disappoint your customers.

          Still, they should just blatantly ignore those Pokemon “Fans” who claim they are despite Go having less than 5% of what a normal Pokemon game has. I really hate their plan on doing so, they’re straining their remaining popularity to bits.

          • Most of customers will just be glad to be getting new faces, even if it’s a slower release. Lets you grab all the new ones before they becoming overwhelming.

            Also, if you like any facet of Pokémon, you’re a fan. It’s a multimedia franchise. Let’s not get snobby over a game aimed at kids, as?

          • Thank You. Finally somebody said it. I hate people making of fun of fans just cos they’re not the same kind of fan you are.

            If people enjoy something let them, seriously its not that hard. People getting all high and mighty over a game of all things pisses me off.

          • Not really? Especially since:

            A) The first expansion will take longer because they haven’t done anything like this

            B) Every Gen but V has less Pokémon then I, they’ll be faster to implement.

  4. Ugh….I just realized that Togekiss won’t be available until Gen 4, and there’s a bare chance of Umbreon, Espeon and Azumarill.

  12. I have a fantastic idea for Gen 8! It’ll be Pokemon Jade and Pokemon Amethyst, with the main team villain being……yes…..Team Niantic! Their evil plan is to kidnap Pokemon and insert them into tiny mechanical weapons and make profit using their trapped creatures. More info will be coming right after! Just want to tell everyone Niantic should be the main villain of Gen 8.

    • I don’t think we should expect graphics like this until next Gen – if we’re lucky 😛 I WOULD love to see the Switch graphics getting rid of the outlines, which some YouTubers have already been doing through uploading their saved battles to Citra emulator.
