I think I'm going to get Pokémon Y the old-school way. Cards and all that. Probably more expensive, but more persistent. (I wouldn't want to lose save data because I formatted an SD card and didn't backup anything.)

 

[zroid]

Hoping some of the communication features are revealed tomorrow. That's definitely the sort of thing you want to get out in the open early, I feel, since it gives people time to talk about how they'll interact with each other when the games are finally released. It's a big excitement builder, potentially.

 

[MikeMyers]

Season 1 excluded, ;p

Seasons 2-4 are amazing.

Yeah, the eps I just watched were S2-S3. Most recent one was where the Kim and Shengo get a device put on them that give them mutual emotions.

Good choice, season 1 is reaaaally dated.

And yeah, that episode (Emotion Sickness) is usually regarded as one of the best episodes in the series (its in my top 10).

Uuuuh... in other more relevant news, my new favorite Pokemon is Thundurus-T.

 

[Boss Doggie]

I am so hyped at Pokemon E3 news that I drew Houndoom.

Of course, people who know me know what the pic is!

 

[Black-Wind]

Bout to get some sleep but I hope someone ask about this character customization at the round table. Hopefully they reveal that you can pick hair styles and faces/ skin colors/ hair colors that weren't shown in the mag.


Hopefully :/

HAHAHAHAHAHA FAIRY TYPE HAHAHAAAAAAA YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!!! WOOOOOOOO!!!! OH YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH

 

[red13th]

Fairy type, I love it!

 

[Antiwhippy]

Gardevoir psychic/fairy hell yeah.

 

[Macka]

Yes! Gardevoir has been changed to Psychic/Fairy after all. So much awesomeness.

Noivern the evolution of Swoobat?

Noivern hint at ANOTHER type? Noise + Wyvern.

 

[Boss Doggie]

So why is Marill part fairy?

 

[PS_GUY]

Noivern has been confirmed as Flying/Dragon on the official Pokemon website...

Sorry, but I think Echo/Sound type is fake.

 

[789shadow]

Wait, was this stuff in the Direct?

 

[Cute Dragon Here]

So where does this leave Gallade?

Also, all the dragon Pokémon are going to need hugs now.

 

[Macka]

Gallade would still be Psychic/Fighting.

Marill is a weird choice to gain the Fairy type imo, and Azumarill looks the part even less.

Love Vivillion and Noivern. Vivillion is so damn cute!

 

[789shadow]

 

[Zaventem]

hahahahahahahahaha

 

[PK Gaming]

Guys if the dragon-immunity rumor is true, then Azumarill can soft-counter Rayquaza(and other dragons).

 

[ScraftyDevil]

Guys if the dragon-immunity is true, Azumarill can soft-counter Rayquaza(and other dragons).

Guys if the Dark-type strength is true then this is the last you'll see of me for about 3 years.

 

[ShmeebAlina]

So why is Marill part fairy?

Well it is in fairy egg group... but I think the other Pikachu-like pokes are too and I can't see their type changing.

 

[zroid]

where are the roundtable live blogs D:

Can't fuck with Swords Danced ExtremeSpeed!

I heard it's SE on both Fighting and Dark, poor Scrafty.

 

[Professor Beef]

Water doesn't give a fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck about Fairies. They all get swept in the rain just the same.

@Pokemon

 

[Snacks the sober sea lion]

Water for best type.

Why is Fairy strong against Dark, though? Dark is still far too specialized offensively, now defensively it gets wrecked by Fighting, Bug, AND Marill?

 

[PK Gaming]

Can't fuck with Swords Danced ExtremeSpeed!

Actually it can

+2 252 Atk Life Orb Rayquaza ExtremeSpeed vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Azumarill: 209-247 (51.73 - 61.13%) -- guaranteed 2HKO

teehee

As if dark needed ANOTHER weakness.

-_-

 

[zroid]

@Pokemon

*sticks up nose*

I guess it'll have to do... would have much preferred a non-PR source though...

 

[ShmeebAlina]

Except Azumarill... which gets powered up in the rain...

I hope dark is not weak to it. Dark types get enough trouble with fight types.

 

[Busaiku]

I wonder if Pikachu is voiced outside of Pokemonamie.

 

[MikeMyers]

Actually it can


teehee



As if dark needed ANOTHER weakness.

-_-

You bastard....I didn't factor in using a bulky spread for Azumarill.

Out of the OU Dragons, Kyurem-B probably will care the least about Azumarill, due to its massive Attack and Fusion Bolt. Hydregion will probably be the most shit scared if Dark/Dragon is 4x weak to Fairy.

 

[ScraftyDevil]

I actually don't think that Dark is weak to Fairy since Hydreigon survived a powerful-looking Fariy-type move in the trailer with yellow HP. If it were truly quad effective it most likely would have down him unless Sylveon's just got really sucky Sp. Attack.

Hmm, I'd hope so, or we'd have a problem in our hands.

vindicated, bitches

 

[ColtraineGF]

Horde encounters, whoa

 

[PK Gaming]

Q: Explanation for Fairy type being discovered and applying to older Pokemon? A: Dragon type has had an advantage. Wanted balance.

 

[DaBoss]

lol @ people who didn't think GF would want to bring balance to the game.

Now we just need a buff for Ice-types.

Glaceon is like the one Eevee evolution that Flareon can beat.

 

[SenorArdilla]

Now we just need a buff for Ice-types.

Gamefreak makes Hail give Ice types a defense boost in the same vein as Sandstorm. This will never happen.

 

[Boss Doggie]

Glaceon is like the one Eevee evolution that Flareon can beat.

I dunno, can't Glaceon surf?

 

[Cute Dragon Here]

I dunno, can't Glaceon surf?

It feels like Glaceon is always on the shirt end of the stick.

I want to catch five Axew. I wonder why...

 

[MikeMyers]

I dunno, can't Glaceon surf?

Nope, doesn't learn it.

252+ SpA Choice Specs Glaceon Hidden Power Ground vs. 252 HP / 252+ SpD Flareon: 170-202 (50.89 - 60.47%) -- 89.06% chance to 2HKO

0 SpA Flareon Overheat vs. 252 HP / 0 SpD Glaceon: 302-356 (90.41 - 106.58%) -- 37.5% chance to OHKO

or the inverse:

252+ SpA Choice Specs Flareon Overheat vs. 252 HP / 252+ SpD Glaceon: 452-534 (135.32 - 159.88%) -- guaranteed OHKO

0 SpA Glaceon Hidden Power Ground vs. 0 HP / 0 SpD Flareon: 116-138 (42.8 - 50.92%) -- guaranteed 3HKO

 

[Sigismundo]

So, you kids realise Smogon's gonna make a Happiness Clause for the increased crits/evasion, right?

 

[MikeMyers]

Hmm? Explain!

 

[Sigismundo]

Hmm? Explain!

Pokémon-Amie lets you bond with your Pokémon etc. Doing so in that gives you increased critical hits and evasion.

Maybe it's only for certain battles like the one that lets you use items. Who knows.

 

[Boss Doggie]

Maybe you can turn it off.

Presumably they're bonuses independent from stats and are disabled during competitive setups

 

[UltimateIke]

Sort of like gym badge boosts?

http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Badge#Stat_boost

In Generations I-III, some Badges boost a certain stat or stats of the player's Pokémon. This boost is applied only in internal battles, not link battles. In Generation I and II, the stat or stats are multiplied by 9/8. In Generation II, if the attack is a critical hit and the attacker's used offensive stat stage is less than or equal to the opponent's defensive stat stage, all Badge boosts are ignored. In Generation III, the stat or stats are multiplied by 1.1. This boost does not exist in Generation IV onwards.
