Which, in terms of chromosomes, is a bit backwards.

The biggest issue I had with the Y form was the head-tail.  It just... didn't... make... sense.

Though, this has made me wonder...

Does Classic Mewtwo get the X form?  Will we see it in all its badass awesomeness?

[Mirby]

glad i was already getting X, considering Mega Mewtwo X.

also glad that the rumor that fairy was weak to poison held up. this gives me even more reason to believe that Litleo (Fire/Normal) will evolve into some sort of manticore (Fire/Poison).

[N-Mario]

Unless they are still keeping it a secret, looks like we're not getting a movie with the X form.  Since they were so hard at work on the movie with the Y form. Though this would have been interesting to see a movie of the X form in action.

TBH, I didn't like the can opener head thingy either. And the fingers and feet were just... Ugly. XP

[Quickman]

Well... New series, new special episode?  Who says that it needs to be a movie?  Just do a super-long episode and I'd be happy.

The bottle-opener hanger headphone band, while it was a bit odd, it didn't bother me quite as much.  I could've lived with it, as long as the damn tail stayed where it was--on the butt.  The feet and hands were... weird.

Well, I know that if I pick up the game, I'm getting X.

I thought it was a SS3 homage! 

[N-Mario]

Yea... The head-tail doesn't make sense to me either..... I don't know why they wanted to try to reverse it. It only makes sense if the original design has it first. But flipping a tail from it's origin point in another direction is just..... seems wrong.

Now.... if only I can find that joke article about the origin of this.

[Dr. Wily II]

Don't you still have a Salamence?

But Hydreigon is cooler! D:

[N-Mario]

Not to disappoint anyone, but I think our classic Mewtwo is probably still lost or in hiding somewhere from society. While the new forms even X form is a new Mewtwo as well...... Though originally he was one of a kind back in Gen 1 was still a "thing". Now that there are more pokemon, it's possible he got cloned again somewhere. As long as they has dna samples, I'm sure "someone" was able to re-create another one somewhere. Which could explain there being more than 1 form mewtwo. Otherwise, we could go with "Alternate Universe" theory where X is universe 1, and Y is universe 2, where each universe has only 1 mewtwo, with one form.

[Sapphire Knight]

Or Mewtwo cloned himself to make him a species.

[Quickman]

I'll believe it when I see an official confirmation.

[DarkWaltz]

So from the second evo starters.... yeah Shinobu's definitely going with Froakie. He got my eye first. I also want the ice/rock brontosaurus looking one.

Sorry Mirb but he's not a Manticore or Fire/Poison.

[Mirby]

Oh well. Still cool looking.

[Sakura Leic]

A friend of mine is convinced that this guy is a middle evolution but my god he's huge!

[Mirby]

Well I stand by my reasoning for a Fire/Poison type.

[Hypershell]

Yes please!

Also, been waiting for an reaction.

TBH, The X form looks more male-like, and the Y looks more female-like, in a way.

I don't really see them as being male/female so much as I see them being buff/child.

Yeah, I'm going with Mewtwo X as well.  His tail and thighs could stand to be beefier, but otherwise, he looks cool.

Mega Garchomp bothers me.  I'm gonna be royally ticked if I don't see a Mega Dragonite somewhere, is all I can say.

Mega Charizard...dammit, I actually did want to try that new fire starter, but now I'm torn.

I'm still royally ticked that Fairy is freaking IMMUNE to Dragon.  Dragon really should be super-effective against something other than itself before such an idea was ever considered.  None too fond of the resistance to Bug either since that's already something of a niche offensive type as it is.

And, honestly, for any claim of "game balance" to hold water, any new type should be not very effective against Ice.  That is the worst defensive type ever...  I am, however, glad to see that they are trying to give Steel some offensive reason to exist.  Even in spite of the Ghost/Dark loss.

[Sakura Leic]

I was more pissed at the Super Effective against Dark, seriously it should have been the opposite!

[Hypershell]

I hadn't considered that since I rarely use Dark.  Thematically, I like seeing Fairy come out on top of that one, but game-balance-wise I agree there's an issue.  Dark is a virtual clone of Ghost offensively and is far less valuable than Ghost defensively, ESPECIALLY with how much the Fighting type was buffed in the last gen. 

[Sakura Leic]

Also were you talking about Steel being effective against Ice before?

[Mirby]

With Fairy strong against Dark (its moves are super-effective against Dark and it only takes half-damage from it), this puts Xerneas in a superior position type-wise over Yveltal.

[Satoryu]

Well that's not new to the series. Kyogre beats Groudon.

[Mirby]

I'm aware of this, just pointing it out.

[Reaperoid]

I like how Pyroar's mane has the fire kanji in it

[Hypershell]

Also were you talking about Steel being effective against Ice before?

No, I was talking about Steel being effective against Fairy.  It makes Steel strong against something that Fighting isn't, for a change.

[Quickman]

You know what I may do today?

I may draw Mega Mewtwo X.

I may draw some musculature and skeletal studies of the form.

I may scan those when I'm finished.

I may also upload those and post them.

Anyone want to see anatomical studies?
