MegaElectrode just needs to happen.

Jordan 08-11-2013 05:31 AM

I'm curious about MegaBlaziken. If that is getting a mega evolution, will all the other final form starters get one? It seems dumb to give it to just one.

Did someone say best mega?

Phylum 08-11-2013 06:27 AM

Mega Blazekin is a promotional thing, and players will only be able to get the special torchic from some event.

MeechMunchie 08-11-2013 07:57 AM

I'm not crazy about mega evolution, if only because it means less time spent "properly" evolving old 'mon or exploring new designs.

On the other hand, it's better they try something wacky and fail than get settled into an endless series of indistinguishable games. And yes, MegAmpharos is the best. Bishie llama.

Crashpunk 08-14-2013 02:01 PM

Blazekin is like one of the most overpowered Pokemon used in battles thanks to the recent changes to him in B2/W2. Now his Mega form is even more powerful...

I guess it's because Blazekin is the fan favourite starter.

But yeah anyway. I too want to see all the starters get Mega forms. Charizard and Feraligatr would be amazing.

MeechMunchie 09-13-2013 08:56 AM

Aviator Frog. Yes.

Fox stands up, is designed with the intent of being feminine and attractive and has a wand.
Grass thing is... who the fuck knows what is up with grass thing

No.

Crashpunk 09-13-2013 04:40 PM

The grass starter isn't a evolution. It just got fat.

Also there are different Mega forms of Mewtwo in X and Y

Dynamithix 09-14-2013 12:55 AM

Froakie's second evolution is so badass.

Jordan 09-14-2013 02:13 AM

I think Chespin turned into a balloon...

Hopefully the final evolved form will look a lot better... I won't judge it by the second form. But damn

MeechMunchie 09-14-2013 05:07 AM

Chespin's clearly a horse chestnut.



As for the Firefox, the ear points and the stick in the tail suggest something along the lines of...


Strike Witch 10-14-2013 01:43 AM

It came out on the weekend, I've been playing it.

It's mostly fantastic. The region is beautiful, you can customize the hell out of your trainer, the story is interesting, the characters fun, music is grand, adds tons of features to fiddle with like super training and pokemon cuddling, great multiplayer stuff, tons to explore, the largest pokedex in the series...

...but there just aren't enough new pokemon. It's probably because they spent the majority of time porting over existing pokemon to 3D models so they can re-use them in future games, but it kind of really hurts the appeal of a new game when all you find is fucking tentacool, zoobat and shit again and again.

That said, the 70 or so new pokemon (not including megas) are mostly pretty great-looking, special points to Pumpkaboo.

But there's just not enough of them.

Oh well, maybe next time?

Manco 10-14-2013 02:35 AM

they finally realized the original 150 are the best heyooooo

My copy of Y will be arriving today... and the 3DS I ordered to play it on will be arriving at some point later in the week.

Dynamithix 10-14-2013 02:42 AM

I downloaded Pokémon Y from the e-Shop and I've played about five hours of it. I really like the 3D world and I'm having fun with the game, but like Strike Witch said, there aren't really that many new Pokémon and all of the final forms for the starters are shit, I don't even want to evolve my Frogadier when the time comes. One good thing for me though is that I haven't played Black or White (or the sequels for that matter) so for me there are actually a ton of new Pokémon to catch.

Strike Witch 10-14-2013 02:50 AM

Get the fuck out you tasteless faggot

Delphox is gorgeous

Dynamithix 10-14-2013 05:06 AM

But Braixen is better looking. And so is Frogadier. And... well... Chespin is definitely better than its two latter forms.

Strike Witch 10-14-2013 06:36 AM

Braixen is okay for a fox furry.

Delphox is a fucking awesome kitsune robe-wearing oracle with a magic wand. It's fantastic.

Froakie's evolutionary line is the lamest shit ever. Frog -> bigger Frog -> bigger Frog

At least fire and grass actually do something with it, though grass just ends up looking like a clusterfuck.

Dynamithix 10-14-2013 08:45 AM

I would be completely okay with Greninja if it had the bubble scarf that Frogadier has, but that huge dumb as fuck tongue around its neck looks so stupid and the white dots on its arms and legs are also pretty pointless.

Just beat the second gym, man that gym leader looked ugly as fuck lol. It was very easy with Frogadier. Currently I'm trying to get my Skiddo and Sandile to evolve. I really, really like the 3D world, some environments look amazing.

Crashpunk 10-14-2013 11:41 AM

Got Pokemon X a day before release (I know get me!) and I'm slowly making progress. I don't rush Pokemon games and tend to try and do a gym a day. Maybe even more depending.

The game itself is fantastic. The last Pokemon game I truly loved was Ruby/Sapphire and this blows it out of the water. As much I am a sucker for the originals, this game truly is the best Pokemon RPG.

The world is so beautiful and great to explore. The music is really catchy, I dig the Gym battle music. I'm SO GLAD they finally switched to 3D models. I was getting sick of sprites and because your not stuck on a 4x4 grid anymore, travailing around is so much more fun.

As for the Pokemon. Well I agree with what's already said. I don't have many favourites.
As much as people hate hearing 'ooh the originals are better'. Well I'm sorry they kinda are. Design wise anyway.

My team consists of Braixen, Pancham, Jolteon (which has ZERO Electric moves) Pidgeotto (which is shite. Going to replace soon), Gloom and a spare slot....

yeeeeah my team is a mess. I'm pretty terrible at Pokemon.

Wings of Fire 10-14-2013 12:08 PM

Korrina is my favourite gym leader since Elesa, and she was my favourite since Sabrina and Misty.

I've got the first badge and I assume I'm about to fight the second gym leader. So far I'm really enjoying it, but from what people are saying I really am disappointed about the lack of new Pokemon. It is however remedied by the amount of old Pokemon you can catch, so I'll be able to have a nice varied team out of it.

Wings of Fire 10-14-2013 01:34 PM

The amount of content between the first and second gym is fantastic. It's like they took the best lesson possible from the anime and manga.

Also I love how everyone constantly throws curveballs at you in regards to type matchups.

AlexFili 10-14-2013 01:50 PM

Not got it yet but will do either in 2014/2015. Need a 3DS first :)

I think it's more likely that they've realised that they're going to be making a new Pokemon generation every couple of years until the end of time, and might have to be a little more stingy with how many designs they give out at once.

Not that there's any shortage of things to make into Pokemon, but a quality>quantity model is more sustainable.

Strike Witch 10-14-2013 03:53 PM

I think it's more like they have to make 3D pokemon now so they made most of the old pokemon models in 3D with this game and didn't have as much time on new pokemon.

MeechMunchie 10-14-2013 04:05 PM

That too.

Strike Witch 10-15-2013 09:44 PM

This is a picture showing all the Legendaries in X and Y (so far). Spoilers, obviously.

Manco 10-18-2013 05:54 AM

I’ve been playing Y here and there for the past day I definitely like most of the changes they’ve made, but then I’ve missed all but two generations so I’m no expert on that.

As far as less new Pokemon are concerned, it hasn’t bothered me so far – I’ve missed a few generations, so a lot of what I’m seeing is new to me anyway, even if I know they’re from older games. I think it’s nice to recognize some Pokemon from the get-go too, it makes it easier to jump right in.

This concludes the opinions from someone who hasn’t yet fought the first gym leader.

Well it looks like you’re dead on: How Game Freak built the new creatures and 3D models of Pokemon X and Y
:

"My first gut reaction is 'Oh, man, it's finally out,'" he said in an interview published in Famitsu magazine this week. "I say that because, since all the Pokemon are 3D models this time, we had to finalize the designs at a pretty early point in development. Most of the design team's work was completed by the end of 2012."

Sugimori and team had to work fast, and they also had to work under some pretty exacting guidelines given by director Junichi Masuda. "With the game taking place in a Europe-inspired setting," he said, "he told us to avoid coming up with concepts straight out of our own minds, but to fully examine source material and such before putting pen to paper. We did things like visit France in order to get the full atmosphere of the area into the game."
So I’m currently just about to face the Laverre City gym leader (the Fairy-type one). How far are the rest of y’all, assuming you’re still playing? And what are your teams?

Also, anyone interested in exchanging friend codes? Even if you never trade or battle it has an effect on the Friend Safari, so it’s worth it.

Manco 10-26-2013 10:52 AM

Look, we can argue favorites all we want, but at the end of the day we all know which is objectively the best new Pokemon.

I beat the game also and I have a level 90 Espeon. This makes my fifth Espeon since Platinum. I like Espeon.

Manco 10-26-2013 05:31 PM

I was gonna train up an Espeon but after looking at all the Pokemon I wanted to use, I noticed I had a ton of Psychics and a distinct lack of grass-types. So, Leafeon it is, when I eventually get to the spot where you can evolve one.
