Pokemon X and Pokemon Y - October 2013

[Prpl_Mage]

Okay gonna kick this because of the latest updates on the game.

So yeah, the fairy type will counter dragons. Yay.

New (reused) pokemon ideas. Seriously, a cute orange electric mouse? http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/pokemon/other_pokemon/

And an alternative way of training your pokes called super training where you basically play minigames to get your pokes stronger http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/whats_new/super_training/

Also Horde encounters and sky battles, two new ways to duke it out. Yet to be seen if its' any interesting, kinda like how worthless rotation battle was in the last games.http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/whats_new/new_battles/

And lastly the weirdest addition so far... Mega evolution.
Basically, some pokemon (maybe all?) can do a mega evolve only for the duration of the battle where they become OP. So far only blaziken's transformation has been revealed to happen when it holds a blazikenite. AN item only available for download some days after the release. http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/pokemon/mega_pokemon/

im interested in all the new features, but i cant judge them for reasons of lacking information about them.  im positive theyll make it work though.

Yeah, I'm going to be playing this game, alright.

True that.  I can tell they're putting in a lot of work for these games and the battle sequences look great.  The online trading and battling features are going to be greatly improved as well.  You can do that stuff whenever you want instead of having to run to the pokemon center.  This is where I get all my information from http://www.serebii.net/xy/

I read the Mega Evolutions are limited to only 1 pokemon per trainer at a time.  That could bring in quite the twist, maybe you're getting your butt handed to you and that mega pokemon can help bring you back into the match.  The evolution makes you more powerful, but at the price of not being able to hold an item, which play a crucial role at times.  I just hope there's a mega dunsparce because he needs it and he's the man!  But in all seriousness, they need to evolve that thing or something because he is pointless.  He's just there in Gen II.

I haven't been able to get into pokemon games for a while now, but I'll probably give this a shot. I just hope there's a way to get some of my favorite pokemon from the earlier games without going to some event or trading.

[A Forgotten Legend]

I... still haven't left cloud nine about this pokemon game.  Seriously.

[Archem]

Yes, it does look like some sort of Pokémon Prime. It's one step closer to a true 3D Pokémon game, and I love it.

[daoman89]

When the game comes out, we might as well get each other's friend codes so we can trade and battle and other crap.

Game Freak is trying to get people hype I guess.  I think all the pokemon just went super saiyan...

Pokémon X and Pokémon Y: Three New Mega Pokémon Revealed!

[A Forgotten Legend]

The music makes me think power rangers, the evolution makes me think Digimon, and the pokemon just make me jizz my pants.  That makes the third time I've watched that trailer.

[Meiscool]

Oh god, mega Mawile. I've always wanted a reason to use that thing.

[daoman89]

Generation V came out with a bunch of new mechanics, that were, in my opinion, incredibly silly and childish.
This new generation is coming out with a bunch of new mechanics, that are, in my opinion, incredibly awesome.

What mechanics are you speaking of?  I'm going to assume one of them was the pokemon dress up and the movie creator thing in BW2. 

They should bring back the Pokemon World Tournament from BW2 because that was just freakin' awesome.  And they should also make hard mode available from the start, not after the Elite 4.

I'm glad that these aren't actual evolutions, the amount of pokemons would increase by 30% or something otherwsise. Kinda makes you think that maybe it would've been a good idea to wait with throwing in those evolutions such as tangrowth, lickilicky, yamnega and some others. That appears to be pretty much the same thing as these new mega pokes.

[daoman89]

I strongly believe that the mega evolution for Charizard will be Fire/Dragon and Gyarados Water/Dragon.  I mean Ampharos randomly becomes a dragon too...  I don't wanna see Mega Dragonite because that wouldn't be fair.

[A Forgotten Legend]

That's if those pokemon get mega evolutions.  Not all pokemon do, so I'm interested to see which ones.  Kangaskhan's Mega evolution is pretty awesome though.

[Prpl_Mage]

I'd love to see a mega wailord, aggron or something. I just wonder if they'll do more fuse forms like the white/black kyruem in b/w-2. If so, this could just elevate pokemon to a whole new level.

Also, want more mega legendaries beside mewtwo.

[daoman89]

I'm going to assume all the starters would get mega forms, because that would be mean if typhlosion didnt get one.  Like i said before, there's not much info about it so it could be all final evolutions have mega forms or maybe only 100 do.
