Pokemon Generation VI: X/Y & Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire

[Dantonumanoa Ongdolota Amycronicon]

It felt like this generation came really fast, but I'm told that they're right on time.

As usual, the internet is being [tornado fang]ing stupid about Pokemon designs just because the Pokemon don't look like Pokemon that they were expecting, but I'm willing to bet that any Pokemon they'd design would be shitty.

The Pokemon are just fine, okay?

I still say that Trubbish and the Vanilite line are adorable.

They are. Really, I don't see what's wrong with them. It certainly can't be an issue of style because they (all gens) all look in harmony with each other.

Okay, it's one thing to say "I don't like how that Pokemon looks" but that's not what most of these people are saying.

[Sakura Leic]

Yeah I know, I never understand why people keep complaining about that.

[Solar]

They have nostalgia glasses super-glued to their faces.

That's what I thought for the second one, the name looks Hispanic to me.

Sounds more like celtic or nordic to me. Mostly because with that name Yveltal somewhat reminds of another mythological bird.

Yeah that would make more sense now that I think about it.

[Hypershell]

My thoughts are as follows:
-Fox starter looks awesome.
-Dratini.  F*@#! YES!!!

I wonder if that means an overhaul of the IV system like what happened with Gen III and will that mean no transfers from Gen IV/V?

You CAN adapt old data for use in a new system, such as Gen 1 'mans being transferred to Gen 2 where the Special stat has split.

I REALLY hope this does mean that the EV system has been overhauled.  I'm sick and tired of every game since Crystal penalizing me for using my favorites to PLAY THE DAMN GAME before I start grinding with them.

Either way, though, it'll be nice to know that hacked creatures won't be common as dirt anymore.  For now, anyway...

[Mirby]

perhaps you can talk to them to build that bond now?

[Archer]

perhaps you can talk to them to build that bond now?

They already did that, it's called 'N'.

Granted he's not a device but you get the idea.

[Gaia]

Granted, they had to introduce the system via Fennel, but it was worth it.

[Sakura Leic]

Official art of the Legendaries are out, and Yveltal looks creepy as heck.

[Gaia]

It's the wings and tail feathers. They look like hands. I found my version.

[Sakura Leic]

I'm more creeped out about the veins.

[Police Girl]

I don't think they're supposed to be Veins.

[Hypershell]

It's the wings and tail feathers. They look like hands. I found my version.

It reminds me of the hand-glow of Snag Balls from the GCN games.

...well, guess I know my version too.

[megaman24681012]

 

Damn, you guys are brutal. I am pretty thick-headed. I'll probably just call them Y-vern and X-caliber.

[Sakura Leic]

I don't think they're supposed to be Veins.

What would you call them then?

[Police Girl]

Just Markings, honestly.

[KoiDrake]

Those are just marking. If anything, you should be more creepied out by Timburr and its evolutionary line, those look like they have veins ready to explode.

[VirusChris]

Definitely getting the Y version, because the Legendary is kickbutt to me! And the Fire Fox is going to be my starter and have Fennekin be female and I shall name her Tamamo!

By the way, I'm surprised no one has commented on the "DNA" symbols on the Japanese logos of Pokemon Y and X seeing as the letters Y and X refer to the chromosomes in our DNA to determine our gender. Hmm, I wonder if that means something in this game?

[Mirby]

As interesting as that is, I find the idea that it's inspired by Norse mythology more intriguing...

[Pyro]

Awesome news, considering I am of part Viking (Norwegian) ancestry.

[Protoman Blues]

Heh, how about that! Of course, now I cannot wait for the Rabbit one! 

[Sakura Leic]

Fire bunny yay!

[Protoman Blues]

A fire snake would be awesome as well!
