Tentacruel Posted July 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2013 I'm not trying to be mean, I just disagree. Limits generally improve gameplay. It's why I love Yellow so much. All the Pokemon you can't get gives a sense of mystery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shradow Posted July 2, 2013 Report Share Posted July 2, 2013 I never said it was a massive deal to you, I only used the word "annoyed". I usually have both versions because siblings, though I usually don't trade anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordCowCowCowCowCowCowCowCow Posted July 2, 2013 Report Share Posted July 2, 2013 Alright, sorry, it felt like I was getting attacked is all. I get that trading is important. I just think that if they make too many new Pokemon exclusive, it could be frusterating for people like me who can't afford to get multiple versions. I think that the fun of Pokemon is how many options you have. Exclusives mean less options for some. But, if it's like how it is in Black/White, where the new Pokemon exclusives are few then I'd be happy. Of course all of this is theoretical, we don't know what they'll do for exclusives, and likely won't for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lonk Posted July 2, 2013 Report Share Posted July 2, 2013 I wonder what kinds of Gym Leaders will be in the Kalos region this time. Don't forget the staple Gym Leader types like Water and Electric. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cin Posted July 3, 2013 Report Share Posted July 3, 2013 Knowing Pokemon the first gym will be rock or ground since that seems a very staple first gym (It was 1st in Gen 1, 3 and 4, 2nd Gen was weak to Rock) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flame Dragon Posted July 3, 2013 Report Share Posted July 3, 2013 Knowing Pokemon the first gym will be rock or ground since that seems a very staple first gym (It was 1st in Gen 1, 3 and 4, 2nd Gen was weak to Rock) The only reason 2nd gen didn't start with a Rock gym was because they were giving the other 8 types a gym. If you look carefully you'll also see that the first 3 gyms are the gyms that didn't have either a gym or an elite 4 member that specialized in them.

LordCowCowCowCowCowCowCowCow Posted July 3, 2013 Report Share Posted July 3, 2013 The first gym has been confirmed to Bug for like a month now. I thought it was just confirmed as A gym, not the first gym? Could be wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toffee. Posted July 3, 2013 Report Share Posted July 3, 2013 Considering the first Gym is Bug- Wouldn't that mean picking Grass would be the hard path?Unless, of course, Chespin learns some move that's Super Effective against either Bug or Flying.Although, using this gen's logic, Flethlings could be available pretty early, so it's not like it would impossible to beat the first Gym.

Dad Posted July 4, 2013 Report Share Posted July 4, 2013 So I've only just caught on to this, and I'm using Serebii to catch up. I have a few questions for anyone who can clear them up: 1.) There's a listing for Sylveon under the type "Fairy". Is that supposed to be a placeholder for "Normal" typing, or is it a new type? 2.) Do we know if horde battles and flying battles will / can be in multiplayer online? All in all this gen looks very promising. I'm obviously hyped about this "Awakened Mewtwo" and I really wanna know if he's going to be similar to the classic, or a revamp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been confirmed that Marill, Jigglypuff and Gardevoir are all fairy type now. 2) It has not been confirmed, I'd guess no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really hope that the Chespin line can learn moves that have great coverage to its weaknesses. After all, if Fire-types generally have access to ground-type, electric-type or grass-type attacks and Water-types generally have access to Ice-type attacks, then why don't Grass-types have general access to moves outside of grass-type moves? It's stupid how underpowered they are just because of generally limited movepools. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it's hard for them to go about things differently without a second type.I would go more in-depth, but it's just the general idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's stupid how underpowered they are just because of generally limited movepools. also if you guys notice those pics like this as you see that they learned a STAB move right off the bat, and if you facing your rival as the first battle like every gen, knowing they pick the one your starter is weak against. Depends how smart the rival is, it would be a troublesome beginning. EDIIT: Now that i think of it, the first battle may begin differently this time given you have 4 rivals to meet up with. but then you will battle each of them on the journey.

EmpoleMew Posted July 4, 2013 Report Share Posted July 4, 2013 Unless, of course, Chespin learns some move that's Super Effective against either Bug or Flying. We have also known for months that Chespin learns Rollout. So Froakie is the only one without a type advantage for the gym. On a different note: The gold one is exclusive to Pokemon Centers in Japan, however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toffee. Posted July 4, 2013 Report Share Posted July 4, 2013 First time seeing that pic.Also, Grass isn't effective against Bug OR Flying, which is what I was getting at. We have also known for months that Chespin learns Rollout-Depends on the level he learns it, though.Super Effective #31, #32, and #34 sum it up quite nicely.I mean, in Fire Red, cuz' VGCats-Charmander learns Metal Claw@13.Bulbasaur learns Leech Seed@7 then Vine Whip@10.Squirtle learns Bubble@7.So the later 2, right off the bat, have something to use for an advantage(Leech Seed wins games, damn it), where as the former needs a little more grinding.

EmpoleMew Posted July 4, 2013 Report Share Posted July 4, 2013 It keeps on coming. http://www.pokemon.co.jp/ex/xy/movie/ Video on the far right is E3 trailer of the game edited with some new footage and the Wild Pokemon and Trainer battle themes from the game.

Shradow Posted July 4, 2013 Report Share Posted July 4, 2013 That wild battle theme is cool, different parts of it seems reminiscent of the wild battle themes from different gens. Also, four tauros and a miltank hoard battle? Scary as s***. But at least it shows you can get different kinds in hoard battles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

~British Soul~ Posted July 4, 2013 Report Share Posted July 4, 2013 A new pokemon is revealed. In France it is known as Monorpale (jp. Hitotsuki) and it is a Steel/Ghost type During battle its sword will unsheath itself. (We're not sure when it will be revealed to the english fandom, but presumably it will be in Masuda's message.)

A sword... really Game Freak, really? Well, I like the idea behind it being Ghost-type, since ghosts are known for taking over objects, though it is still pretty wacky in my book.

I like it already, just cause Steel/Ghost is such a good typing. Now all it needs is Levitate, good natural bulk (considering its a sword which points towards its stats geared towards being offensive) and a decent support movepool, which preferably includes a recovery move of some sort, and BAM!! Replacement for Bronzong right there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
