Seeing another Fire/Fighting will be annoying. Hopefully den is right and those are the types we're getting. Though, the game is also letting you choose one of the three original starters. That alone makes me very happy.

Where to begin?Originally Posted by Agent Proto
"Evolutions of your first Pokémon". Come on, Gamefreak. You guys can do better than these. Quilladin just looks ridiculous. Braixen has an interesting witch-motif going on, but I don't think I'm a fan of it. Frogardier at least still looks pretty good. It is nice to see Pokémon that look like they'll have new type combinations. Because I am also sick of Fire/Fighting starters.
"Pokémon restored from fossils"? Really? That's been a feature since Gen I, and you guys still put it on your trailers, and still can't think of anything new to do with it?
Different forms for male and female Pokémon. Well, yay. But what took so long? Seriously, this is another of those things we've been looking forward to for Generations. Gen II introduced the first truly "female" Pokémon, and we've been getting enhanced versions of those ever since, with some having different appearances and evolutions depending on gender. But, let's face it, we've all been waiting for Nidoran to become a single Pokémon with two forms since then. And now the Pokédex can rage about it.
"Mega Garchomp". Oh, yay. The most broken, banned Pokémon in the series has been buffed further, and looks even more ridiculous. Oh well, hopefully we'll at least get to see Cynthia wielding this monster. Because Cynthia is awesome.

Geez, you're taking this game too seriously already and it's not even out yet.
Apparently, I have been declared banished.
Seeing how the mega evolutions are done with the watches just reminds me of Digimon, haha.
Good. Digimon has always been better. Maybe they're making it more similar on purpose
Of the starters' middle stages, I'm liking the frog's the best so far. Though the final forms will be the deciding factor on the starter I choose.
Mewtwo X, I'll admit I find quite neat, but I still have a burning hatred for Mewtwo for a lot of reasons.
I'm liking the two fossil Pokemon, especially Amaura. I never would've expected a fossil brontosaurus to be part ice.
As for Pyroar, I guess it's alright. Though fire types have always been my least favourite Pokemon type.
Meowstic seem very interesting, especially with the major gender and moveset differences. I wonder if they'll be considered different Pokedex entries like the male and female Nidoran families. And with Meowstic's reveal, this rumour compilation is on its way of being 100% true. Yeah, the spelling was off since it said Meowstick, but I'm not going to disqualify a list just because of a one letter mistake, especially on a list that has been spot on so far.
Furfrou seems like a fun Pokemon to customize, though I can't help but feel people will do dirty and inappropriate things with its fur style.
dat mega garchomp jawline, seriously
soooo manly
Different appearances for different genders have been around since Generation IV.Different forms for male and female Pokémon. Well, yay. But what took so long? Seriously, this is another of those things we've been looking forward to for Generations.
Anyway, I initially decided on Froakie, and Frogadier has made me more confident about my decision. It's fairly obvious that the naming scheme involves Rookie -> Brigadier, so I'm thinking that the final evolution will have a name with general or something similar as part of it.
I'm capturing a Furfrou regardless of its use in battle; my grandfather has a goldendoodle, so I'm grooming it to look like her.
Two other random notes. First, does anybody else find it funny that Tyrunt gets obliterated by Draco Meteor? Second, I'm thinking the theory that the starters are based off the warrior/mage/rogue archetypes is looking more and more plausible.
what the hell is thatgoldendoodle
I am ridonkulously excited for this.
a ridiculous looking dog

Nah, they'll be too busy (SPOILER)"customizing" female Meowstic and Braixen.
Essentially, it's what you get when you cross-breed a golden retriever and a poodle, hence the name.
Hm. Is it me or does the Grass starter look to be turning into Grass/Ground like Turtwig? If so, that is not bad since it seems to be a rather rare combination. Not amazing, mind you, just rare. Hopefully they'll make this a great starter set with all dual types for the final evolutions. Seems to be the most exciting game they've released in a while. Hopefully they'll do a "decent adventure story" since they're usually goofy. Well, except for Black/White, which at least brought forward the idea Pokemon are slaves and deserve freedom. It'd be silly to let that stick around and not have it ruined by the ending or subsequent sequel. Absolutely silly.
I'm currently stuck recovering from a traffic accident. Pokémon is one of the things that's keeping me from being bored out of my mind right now (since Rune Factory 4 was delayed). I reserve the right to take it seriously.
Besides, I'm only taking the trailers seriously. I just really think they could do better. Game Freak has an excellent history with these games, but at the same time, things don't always look promising.
I'm really questioning Mega Evolutions right now. Just how useful is it going to be if it only works for one battle? At least, to single-player people, I'm sure it'll have a huge effect on the multiplayer community. Also, will you be able to fast-forward through or skip the evolution scene? Because otherwise I can see it getting annoying if you do it a lot.
I'm also curious about the degree of customization. If Mewtwo becomes Psychic/Fighting with increased Physical attack, it'll have to have a completely different move setup than a Special Psychic. So how much control will you be able to have on the Mega Evolutions? Can you choose what moves they'll learn and such when they evolve? Or will the game control it or restrict it for you?
Also, I'm hoping we'll get something like Dream Radar for X and Y, because I really liked having a spin-off that was tied so directly to the main game. It was wonderful for picking up new Pokémon and items.
Different appearances, yes. Different "Formes", no.Different appearances for different genders have been around since Generation IV.Different forms for male and female Pokémon. Well, yay. But what took so long? Seriously, this is another of those things we've been looking forward to for Generations.
It's like the differences between Giratina's Flying or Ground Forme. Or the Various Rotom Formes. Different stat lineups, different movesets, things like that.
So, again, it's been in game since Nidoran in Gen I. Further games expanded on it. First we got actual different genders for Pokémon in Gen II. Then they started giving us the differing appearances in Gen IV. We also got different evolutions for things like Kirlia only being able to become a Gallade if it's male, otherwise, only being able to become a Gardevoir. And we also got the official differing "Formes" for other Pokémon, which include things like new moves and differing stats.
If they were making Nidoran now, it would only be one Pokémon, with two different Formes based on its gender, and restricted evolutions, again based on gender.
So I'm wondering if they'll finally remove the second Pokédex entry and just give us "Nidoran".
Maybe we'll only get one evolution per starter this time! That would leave us with The Brigadier as the final evolution, and it's not like they could do better than that.Anyway, I initially decided on Froakie, and Frogadier has made me more confident about my decision. It's fairly obvious that the naming scheme involves Rookie -> Brigadier, so I'm thinking that the final evolution will have a name with general or something similar as part of it.
I usually try to capture at least one of everything, so nothing new here.I'm capturing a Furfrou regardless of its use in battle; my grandfather has a goldendoodle, so I'm grooming it to look like her.
So Grass is Warrior, Fire is Mage, and Water is Rogue?Two other random notes. First, does anybody else find it funny that Tyrunt gets obliterated by Draco Meteor? Second, I'm thinking the theory that the starters are based off the warrior/mage/rogue archetypes is looking more and more plausible.
Can you customize any Pokémon, or only the Furfrous?
