POWER HERB.

Yeah I completely forgot about Power Herb. He will be a force in Ubers then.

 

[IHaveIce]

Lol Mega Gyarados looks so shitty

 

[Avixph]

Is anyone being told by their local mom&pop stores that they would possibly have the games available on friday?

 

[789shadow]

Fuck you European assholes getting the game early. I hope Nintendo blacklists Shopto forever.

 

[ColtraineGF]

Well that's 4 more for Coastal then. Any more, lemme know.

Central

Coastal

Mountain

He just needs to be longer. Mega looks like they just didn't extend him enough.

Maybe, but I've seen numerous versions of the design in 3D and they all look pretty goofy to a certain extent. It's mostly because he's flying, yet has no reason to do so. Underwater, the design would work a lot better.

Mega Gyarados

It's Water/Dragon, Moonblast was Super Effective.

Okay, now I'm confused.

One source tells me Seed Bomb was Super Effective and now this says Moon Blast was Super Effective.

 

[ColtraineGF]

If it's weak to Grass, Fairy, and Bug, then it must be Water/Dark.

 

[jelmerjt]

Eviolite!

Is the download copy going to be available on the eshop at midnight friday night? And is there any reports on how good of a Pokemon Yvetal is?

Both where super effective. Fairy is effective against Dark.

 

[Owwari]

HOLY SHIT!
MEGA GROUDON CONFIRMED!

Don't play with our feelings!

Couple of Xerneas moves:

Gravity, Geomancy, Moonblast, Megahorn, Night Slash.

I believe foxes are often seen as mystical creatures in Japanese mythology. That sort of explains their connection to magic in culture.

Found this little thing
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asian_witchcraft#Fox_Employers

he fox witch is by far the most commonly seen witch figure in Japan

explains a lot

I believe (though not 100% sure), that all Nintendo published E-Shop releases get midnight launches.

The Water/Dark typing on Mega Gyardos is interesting. Can't wait to see what people do with it, but we need to know the stats first.

 

[Ultimadrago]

Yeah, I just put those two together. Since the sources for both suggested different dual-typings.

Please don't tell me I was the only one thinking that MegaGyarados looks like the team rocket submarine?

 

[Tecl0n]

A 49 Goodra? That has to be the highest lvl difference between the evolution and some npc having it.

Doesn't Greninja also have Water/Dark? Redundant for anyone using him, unfortunately.

Not really, you can have both Pokemon of the same dual typing but with wildly different uses.

 

[-GJ-]

The best songs in the game haven't leaked yet. There's one that sounds like it came straight from

Spoiler

Luigi's Mansion 2

and one that sounds like something from

Spoiler

Fire Emblem

. It's insane! Not sure which town/route they are from, but you'll hear 'em soon enough.

Yeah, I'm eager for these stats.

I'm getting Froakie and I don't mind one bit. Then again, I don't prioritize type variety too much when making my main team.

 

[yami4ct]

Different movepools, different stats, very different uses. Given Gyardos is also Mega with that type, he's going to be the centerpiece of a team that uses him.

If I had to guess from just the models Greninja is going to be a quick, light hitter, while Gyardos is going to be a massive, slow heavy killer.

Goodra's special defense (and possibly HP) is godly, took 4 STAB Supereffective Dragonbreath's to take it down.

Leaker used a Flygon.

 

[chickdigger802]

mega gyarados looks like a pregnant salmon.

 

[Gillian Seed]

So lame if the Water/Dark rumor is true! He does not even learn Crunch! I really wanted another non Legendary Water/Dragon besides Kingdra!

 

[peanutbutterlatte]

Fuck you European assholes getting the game early. I hope Nintendo blacklists Shopto forever.

They won't. And I'll carry on getting my games 1-2 days early ^^

 

[Berordn]

I'm seriously starting to think Goodra's evolution is triggered by something other than level.

 

[yami4ct]

Do we know crunch wasn't something added to his movepool in X/Y? I would bet the pokemon with Mega forms that change type have altered movepools that make use of that typing. Wouldn't make sense not to do that.

Awww shit Goodra is Chansey Dragon. Lol

His defense kinda sucks though. Outrage might KO.

[yami4ct]

Goodra is smaller than I expected. Not sure how I feel about that. Still a cool pokemon. Can't wait to get one.

 

[clemenx]

That bridge battle background looks really cool.

 

[Neiteio]

Man, Mega Gyarados looks INSANE. Those massive fins running the length of his body are a new addition, and the swell to his front half conveys so much power. SO COOL! Seeing him from above really drives home how much he's changed.

 

[jelmerjt]

xD

 

[Winterfang]

I don't know if they have the pokemon up to scale. I saw a poster for some new movie or special with a lot of Kalos pokemon in it. Dedenne is the size of a Fist and Noiven the size of a Dog.

Which is great but it seems like in game, every little/first stage pokemon is the same Size.

 

[Demoncarnotaur]

well shit



I love the second to the last one.

My god, thats dark.

So I read on /vp/ that

Spoiler

the war 3,000 years ago, where Yyvetal/Xerneas died, also killed off many of the Pokemon native to the Kalos Region and it's implied that a lot of species migrated in afterwards, or originated after that period. That screams to me like more to be introduced in the 3rd version when Zygarde brings balance.

Anyway, no idea how accurate it is, thought it was interesting nevertheless.

Did they just give a canon reason why the region has so few new Pokemon? :lol

 

[chickdigger802]

mega gyrados would make more sense imo if it was the middle evolution after magikarp.

I do like what he says about it's special defense. I'm totally training one for ingame even if it takes a while.

Maybe. He seems smaller than like a model of Charizard, Garchomp or even Mewtwo has been. I expected Goodra to be around the size of those guys. Do we know the pokedex measurements for the "real" size of Goodra?

 

[Ultimadrago]

Yeah, it seemed huge to me in the initial image I saw of it. I'm down with its design though.

 

[Neiteio]

Goodra is 6'7" according to its Pokedex. TALLER than Charizard.

Goodra should be able to survive a Draco Meteor. Outrage = KO I assume.

Yeah I hope so, but I am still bummed about him not getting the Water/Dragon typing.

 

[Neiteio]

Goodra's height and weight:

 

[yami4ct]

Goodra is 6'7" according to its Pokedex. TALLER than Charizard.

Then that model is even WEIRDER. Bad angle? Size scaling between big and small pokemon on screen at the same time? GF just enhancing the charizard model to make him more badass? (Definitely that one)

 

[Ultimadrago]

Goodra is 6'7" according to its Pokedex. TALLER than Charizard.

Huh. Guess it's just the angle then. Good to know for sure that it's big!

Yeah I hope so, but I am still bummed about him not getting the Water/Dragon typing.

Same here. Of course I'll find a way for it to work regardless.
