Pokemon X and Pokemon Y - October 2013

Oh, like you've never wanted a Vulpix starter?

[Prpl_Mage]

As long as it doesn't evolve into another fire/fighting I'm gonna be a happy guy.
Frog looks like **** though, don't think we need more frogs.

[fruckert]

I actually like the frog.
The ****ing grass chipmunk thing is stupid, though.

[A Forgotten Legend]

If feel like if it ended up Fire/Fighting then it would start to look a lot like Renamon from the Digimon series...

Legendary Pokemon names announced:

Xerneas: ZURR-nee-us
Yveltal: ee-VELL-tall.


EDIT:  No clue why I double posted.  Oops.

**** you and your bass-ackwards ideas.

[fruckert]

I REALLY don't like the chipmunk.
The frog's just okay.
The fox is pretty cool, though, if a tad boring.

I just want to see the evos, Oshawott was my least fav last time, and he ended up having my favourite evo.

I like the grass starter. I really like the fire starter. The water starter looks kind of dumb to me.

[Meiscool]

The water and grass starters look like things I would intentionally go out of my way to run over while driving.

That said, I agree with the guy who brought up the "wait to see the evos". Though I'm still gonna go with fire, I can see potential for the frog to end up like seismitoad and the grass to end up like shiftry, both cool looking pkmn IMO.

Fully evolved starters always look good. Exception is Meganium. And as long as the fire one isn't another fighting combination it will probably looks pretty darn alright. Pretty much all the starters in Gen 3 looked like **** and turned out great.

Still interested to see the rest of them. And I bet there will be a whole crew of spriters to make the new ones in classic sprite style.

My biggest concern are the animations. I unchecked battle animations in White 2 because it just takes so much time to kill the easiest pokes who insists on not letting you run away. Sure it will look rad as hell, but it can also get a bit tiresome. Like when I played the two Colosseum games - sooo many animations going on that slowed down the battles.

First time a pokemon game has excited me.  The Fennec Fox looks cute. :3

[Moosetroop11]

When I played white I actually managed to avoid seeing almost any pokemon beforehand, so I chose my starter without knowing what it'd evolve into etc.  I'm gonna try to do that again, because the experience was fantastic.  After I've completed the game I'll be all over bulbapedia, of course, but not before, hopefully.

Well, its official.  All the starters are pure types -- at least in their basic stage.  As for the evolutions, who knows what will happen.

This is about the most obvious statement I've ever seen.

I was thinking the exact same thing.
