I wonder the logic behind the naming scheme is for Carbink? Carbonite+something?

EDIT- Hah, the post above me has a better theory.

 

[Sandfox]

seems like gen VI is just populating the fairy type and balancing out a few others, that's why there aren't that many new water mons.

There are too many water pokemon as it is IMO.

Furfrou

This thing has potential to be really good.

 

[kirblar]

Rock/fairy? Interesting type

This is likely what it's evolution will be based off of: http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Carbuncle_%28Summon%29 Carbuncle is the word you're looking for. It's also a gemstone cut: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbuncle_%28disambiguation%29

I must say that the fact that I am hyped for a screenshot is either sad or......sad.

but lets go

[MetalGuardian]

Carbink looks pretty cool. I approve.

 

[Wazzy]

HNNNNNG THE GLORIOUS COMING OF OUR FROAKIE OVERLORD IS NIGH

EVERYONE WHO WAS TEAMFENNEKIN OR TEAMCHESPIN BETTER REPENT BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE!

I repent for being team fennikin but I'm still waiting for Chespin to turn out as the most boss looking one. If he fails, then I will be all over this froggy.

 

[Korosenai]

My current team: Chespin 3, Doublade, Tyrantrum, Malimar, Hawlucha, and some fairy pokemon (Still deciding between Sylveon, Mega Mawile, or Dunsparce and only if it gets an evo).

 

[Soma]

I will laugh if Frogadier evolves at lv 37

 

[Firemind]

I'll give the other guys Typhlosion, Feraligatr, Marill and Wobuffet...but Politoed? I never knew many people who liked him. Blissey is popular because of how good it is, but would it really be considered a popular Pokemon?

Because of Drizzle, mostly.

I agree Johto isn't very memorable aside from a select few. I remember I was completely baffled by some of the designs (Sudowoodoo, Girafarig) compared to Kanto's simplistic designs.

[OcarinaOfDoom]

To tide people over until Frog, he offers this:

YES NEW POKEMON

 

[Gleethor]

Interesting that its name seems derived from carbuncle, a mythical beast with a jewel on its head.
Carbunclr also means a giant pus filled abscess, so be careful if ya google it lol.

I was thinking carbon + zinc?

 

[Kirlia]

Nope, don't repent. But since I'm planning on using Froakie in one of my two games, I'm pretty excited. Will Greninja LIVE OR DIE?

 

[KiTA]

To tide people over until Frog, he offers this:

Carbink? The new Geodude is a Fairy type?

 

[Ashodin]

damn son them's froggin' words.

Still #TEAMDELPHOX

 

[SenorArdilla]

Have we seen any Rock type, except this new one?

Rock/Dragon: Tyrunt & Tyrantrum

Rock/Ice: Amaura & Aurorus

 

[rawktapus]

I was thinking carbon + zinc?

That's probably true, too. I bet its evolutions name is closer to the mythical beasts.

 

[MrSaturn99]

To tide people over until Frog, he offers this:

Is that supposed to be some sort of carbonate rock or something?

I'll wait for more pics before judging. A Rock/Fairy sounds pretty cool.

 

[DaBoss]

Spritzee

 

[Stoof]

I usually get all 3 games and do a run with each starter, but I'm rolling with my fabulous pyromancer first.

 

[Keyouta]

I'm out after Carbink, don't really want all the new Pokemon spoiled for me. If anyone wants the OP updated with the starter final evolutions once they're out, just PM me the pictures and names. Or you could get a mod to do it if I am not able to reply. I'm not worried about spoiling the starter's evolutions for myself.

 

[Nohar]

Rock/Dragon: Tyrunt & Tyrantrum

Rock/Ice: Amaura & Aurorus

... I can hear the french jokes about that one.

Amaura, par amour du goût.

 

[Kiryu]

Youtuber that's leaking just evolved Froakie. This guy and 4chan are our hopes and dreams.

IF leaker said he had lvl 35 frodgier then 1 hour has passed... (1 lvl shouldnt be long to grind) I would declare that he never had game to begin with.

 

[Lord_Byron28]

To tide people over until Frog, he offers this:

I always like how the pokedex's info contradicts a lot of what happens in-game. We'd be waiting a long time to breed some Carbink's if true.

 

[Kirlia]

Spritzee

I love this Pokemon regardless of its evolution (which is slowly, slowly growing on me).

 

[AmICoolYet]

Supposedly, Carbink was leaked some time ago in a 4chan thread where the OP was drawing/describing pokemon he saw on a friend's review copy. He also claimed Bunnelby's evo gains ground type and is fat.... and that Greninja is real...

Edit: Archived post of Carbink leak.

 

[ryan13ts]

Am I missing something with Carbink? I don't see any "face". Not that every Pokemon absolutely has to have one, but I'm just seeing a weird looking rock and nothing more. Is this just me?

 

[Glass Rebel]

Just show me Froakie3 and I'm out for realz.

 

[papercamm]

I don't know if I'll be able to sleep until I see the other starter evos leak, lol.

 

[Trigger]

Goddamn, can dude get that last level now?

 

[HypnoDarkrai]

I love this Pokemon regardless of its evolution (which is slowly, slowly growing on me).

Spritzee's evo got shown? When?!

 

[Caladrius]

Spritzee

Central has at least 130? I'm wondering if the guess about 400 local yokels was right.

Lab grown, I don't want no Blood Pokemon gems.

Compare it to Roggenrola. Its "face" was really its ear.

 

[MetalGuardian]

This is not how Froakie's mercy works. He will separate the wheat from the chaff.

I ain't scared of no tongue scarf havin mouth breathin behavin andre 3000 lookin frog

Andre 3000 lookin? Hey ya fool, get your eyes checked.

=/=

 

[xKilltheMx]

As soon as I get chespin 3 and froakie 3 im out. Like legit out. I have to be.

 

[Lord_Byron28]

IF leaker said he had lvl 35 frodgier then 1 hour has passed... (1 lvl shouldnt be long to grind) I would declare that he never had game to begin with.

He's also before the 2nd gym so he's likely griding with a ton of low level pokes.

It has two small cutesy eyes.

 

[Trigger]

Earlier. /vp/ should still have the scan floating around.

Not necessarily. Hibernation or Stasis is different than gestation time et all.

Amaura, par amour du goût.

LOL. Yeah it seems it has already started a long time ago:

[afoni]

Who is this guy leaking Froakie and where can I watch his progress?

 

[DaBoss]

Flabébé

Leaker said the Fairy type gym is either the 5th or 6th gym.

 

[Busaiku]

Why did they fatten up those evolutions so much.

 

[Kirlia]

Earlier. /vp/ should still have the scan floating around.

It's also on the Serebii main page under a Spoiler tag/button.

 

[Velcro Fly]

Well apparently I can use poketransfer to go from Gen IV to Gen V.

Also Team Froakie 4 Life but I'm probably picking Chespin so I can have Squirtle!

 

[DigitalOp]

Is 35 Frog grinding as we speak... Is this some SOON type shit??

 

[Vire]

Flabébé


Leaker said the Fairy type gym is either the 4th or 5th gym.

Dude needs to stop taking pictures and level Frogadier.

 

[kirblar]

Not surprised to see Fairy overload since it's the new type.

 

[rawktapus]

Am I missing something with Carbink? I don't see any "face". Not that every Pokemon absolutely has to have one, but I'm just seeing a weird looking rock and nothing more. Is this just me?

I can sort of make out some eyes just under his propeller, so I'm imagining his upper mouth being the light brown half of the body, sort of like a muppet, but yeah, it's really hard to tell.

Man, though, I hope this guy turns out to be awesome. Rock/Fairy seems like such a neat type combo.

 

[ColtraineGF]

Note that Sweet Kiss got retyped to Fairy.

Minor, but hey.
