Oh nooooooooooo
...
I saw someone streaming Pokemon Stadium on Twitch the other day and it was really intense and fun to watch even though he was just playing against the AI. If the next Stadium type game were to include native streaming capabilities and regular tournaments where you could watch online and follow specific players I could see that becoming absolutely HUGE. And then I realized that this is Nintendo so that's not likely to happen any time soon.
I also have some ideas for a 3DS/Wii U PokéMOBA that would make tons of cash...
Is this the next Harvest Moon?
Azumarill isn't afraid of bullets. Neither is Mawile. It actually regains its dark resistance from Fairy type too.

Mega Scrafty
Type: Dark/Fighting
Ability: I Ain't Afraid of No Fairy (Immune to Fairy-type attacks)
Ghost/Fairy type I hope.
They didn't rebalance poison at all
They gave you an actual reason to use poison type attacks, at the very least.

Damn straight, nothing will stop the Scraftytrain.
Yeah! Who da man?
Aw yiss! Bustin' makes me feel good!
Don't worry; they've got a nice Gunk Shot and Fire Blast with their respective names on 'em. The knife that cuts deepest is the one that takes its time.
None, that is why both X and Y are superior.
Did we ever get it? Haven't checked the official site.
Also, as much as i like its design, and i'll have one on my X team for sure, I really hope Pyroar is a Special Attack Specialist. I will not have Arcanine outclassed...
Heatran already does that

Damn, that's hot.

Look at the bright side, at least they didn't made Poison-types suck even more.
Y hopefully.
I've been a few days outside of the Pokemon loop, so to summarize my thoughts over recent events: Froakie's moniker as greatest starter ever just gained some legitimate stock from Andre 3000's endorsement, I'm not so thrilled about Pignite's new forme and grass typing, X went from best to bester with another Dragon ball Z-inspired Mewtwo, Pyroar will probably get the fire spot on my team opposite Froakie and Bulbasaur provided nothing more ascetically appealing comes along, and you guys are overreacting over a harmless thread.

So one month away, what are you folks going to do to hype yourself up for it?

I'll probably start another Nuzlocke in Platinum, as my last one didn't go so well. (Freaking Cranidos man) I'll also probably finish transferring my Pokemon over from Pearl so that they can be uploaded to the Bank.
Aside from that... exactly what I've been doing. Reading and chatting with people on Pokemon forums. Soaking it into my veins.

I've been playing Pokemon Colosseum
I'm looking to play R/S/E with physical/special split
The worst thing about the new type chart is that Grass stayed the same. ;_;
Nice. I need the source of that.
Great avatar!
Bahahaha! lol.

BritishGAF - Do you think it's worth me switching my Shopto order to courier seeing as they have a reputation for early delivery? Cheers
No it wasn't
Transferring my Gen IV Pokemon to Gen V. I'd be done by now if it wasn't for that damn minigame. I somehow have three Articunos. After I'm done I will do some stuff I never managed to finish off in White.
Actually they just playing "Monster Hunter". Just like any other characters in any manga/fanarts that appeared playing while playing PSP.
Looking at the Classic OT, it could have made a great classic Pokemon thread, but then they had to include GSC for those Gameboy Color newbies. Fuck GSC, if you're going to go classic, you go classic all the way, no compromises. Including GSC is the equivalent of including the first two Gen 3 games, only with less water.
Alakazam on the other hand... Wow.
It got a resistance and a type weak to it. That's fine by me.They didn't rebalance poison at all
Absol might actually be useful.
Alakazam on the other hand... Wow.

Plus a bunch of Pokémon are gaining a Fairy typing.
He lost his punches. But he got Magic Guard one generation later, so that evens itself out.
Do we know anything about the new moves besides their names?
Electric-types can no longer be paralyzed
Words cannot describe how happy I am
I never understood why they did that in the first place. Kind of hard to stun a pokemon that constantly generates electromagnetic energy.
Wait, WHAT. WHERE.Electric-types can no longer be paralyzed
Words cannot describe how happy I am
That doesn't even make sense! Sure, most paralyzing attacks involve electricity, but Body Slam and Stun Spore (which are very common moves) don't. It'd be like making Psychic types immune to confusion because a lot of Psychic attacks confuse.
Ah well, it's okay from a gameplay standpoint for me. :-\

all my loli wolf companions are so moe
Tyrunt is sooo fucking cute.
Especially with its description.

Aerodactyl is the only fossil pokemon that doesn't evolve, it was basically a given. Besides, do you really think they would waste the chance to make a full-grown Tyrannosaurus Rex?

Grass types are immune to powder/spore moves (ex: PoisonPowder, Stun Spore)
Electric types are immune to paralysis from any source (ex. Body Slam)
Ice types can't be Frozen
Ghost types can't be trapped by moves (ex: Mean Look). It's unknown whether this applies to abilities (Shadow Tag, Arena Trap), or moves that trap temporarily, like Fire Spin.

...oh....oh my. That's nasty.
For some reason when I saw the corocoro leaks, I had a sense that Tyrunt wouldn't evolve. I'll gladly be wrong though, for a giant TRex wrecking machine.
So that brings us to about 40 new pokemon revealed. I guessed about a 100 new ones would be lower end, but with Mega forms, I don't know. How many new ones do you guys think we might get?
Huh.
Great, now I'm going to associate Anura with ~MoeMoeKawaiiNinfia~ too.

I'm guessing it will be a lower number, thanks to the generation pattern and the introduction of Mega evolutions, but I don't think we'll ever have only 100 new Pokemon in one generation again; we've been conditioned to expect more.
