Hopefully the Fire starter isn't another Fire/Fighting type when fully evolved.

Haven't even played Black or White, or Black or white 2 yet... These are releasing so fast lately.

[br26]

i think this is a fast release as the previous generation only came out in 2011, but that doesn't mean I'm not buying it! hyped.

[CrispyChicken]

Looks pretty good. I usually always pick the fire starter but I'm liking the water one. Probably will go with fire though.

[StarfoxFan2009]

I like the Fennec one the most xD its so adorable

[fenrir1887]

@ChrisP, just pray that the first two gyms aren't Rock type and Water type respectively.

The game looks pretty good though.

[Blue Shoe 2]

I always start with Grass. I hope Chespin works as well as I dream.

[Tails]

Possible Eevee morph posted on Serebii named Ninfia.

Text on the left speculates it may be an entire new pokemon type. I see "type" written clearly. Otherwise looks like a normal type evolution.

Also, already fanarted:

[Tails]

to me it looks like Espeon, Victini, and Melotic fused.

[Seahawk]

Disregard what I said. The kanji about "type" looks like the right half of nani (what). So they just don't know what type it is.

Elsewhere on the internet, someone guessed on a new "light" type.

[Tails]

To add on, this was posted on CollecToons.

[Mareeps]

That Eeveeloution looks like it could pass for Fennekin's 1st evo.

(Pikachu and Eevee Friends) (although espeon and the ? should probably switch places)

[Tails]

It's name had been announced. It's Sylveon and its type is still unknown which makes me think light

[Mareeps]

I think normal, but evolved with a new evolution stone.

[Mareeps]

Fairy type has been confirmed.

Pokémon X & Y - Mega Evolutions (http://www.serebii.net/xy/megaevolutions.shtml)

WHY THE HELL NINTENDO! WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY SCREW WITH BLAZIKEN!!!!!!!

All these freaking suck. Even worse Speedboost MegaBlaziken is for SURE gonna ban it from tournaments just like Dreamworld Blaziken was..... >_>

[CrispyChicken]

Oh my lord Nintendo. Why...

They all look awful too. MegaAmpharos does not exist in my mind...

[ZedIsDead]

They've gone full Digimon.

[CrispyChicken]

On the positive side, the 3 new Pokemon they showed from Gen 6 look cool.

[Tails]

Well, Torchic is an event, so I am semi pleased. :)

[CrispyChicken]

Well, Torchic is an event, so I am semi pleased. :)

As long as I don't have to evolve Blaziken into MegaBlaziken, I'm all for it lol.

[Mareeps]

I think it could be interesting, could make loads of unusable pokemon usable.

[yoshi_star10]

I like all the new looks on the mega evolutions, except ampharos, but I was never a fan of ampharos to begin with...

[CrispyChicken]

Mega Venusaur, Mega Charizard, and Mega Blastoise.

Ignoring their mega forms, I'll be pleased to pick up one of the Gen 1 starters form Professor Sycamore :)

[StarfoxFan2009]

second evolutions of Fennekin, Chespin and Froakie revealed:

Pokémon X & Y - New Pokémon (http://serebii.net/xy/pokemon.shtml)

Makes my inner furry crave the fennekin second evolution lol x3 and wonder what the third one will be

[CrispyChicken]

The two new fossil Pokemon look pretty cool.

[CrispyChicken]

Comes out tomorrow. I'm going to the midnight release so I'll be picking it up later. Excited!

[Seahawk]

If there is a line at your location take pics!

There was only about 100 people at my local Gamestop. I got there at about 11:45 and got the game like 30 minutes later.

[StarfoxFan2009]

a friend of mine got Pokemon Y and is sending me his old 3DS and the game since he got Pokemon X and a 3DS XL

[Tails]

So, starting out on Y, gimme ideas on a team.

Charizard, Gallade, Abomasnow, Sylveon?, Honedge's final evo, Squirtle?

Aegislash was a pretty good member of my team. One Pokemon that really surprised me was Hawlucha who is Flying/Fighting but with Charizard on your team, not sure if you want that. Those 6 you got above are pretty solid, though I never got Sylveon.

My cousin got a shiny Snover. I was so jealous lol.

[Tails]

I wondertraded into a Charmander, Honedge, and Eevee. Hoping to nab the other 3.

[Mareeps]

Coming back to necro this to say you were wrong, Megaampharos is fabulous as hell.

[CrispyChicken]

Yeah I totally disagree with my first impressions now. Most of them are awesome and Ampharos especially is one of the cooler ones.

I played through most of Y with a Sylveon. Who knew that fairies didn't suck?

[Tails]

Yeah Sylveon turned out to be great!

[Mareeps]

Any of you get any shinies in this gen yet?

[CrispyChicken]

Any of you get any shinies in this gen yet?

No :(

[Seahawk]

Any of you get any shinies in this gen ever yet?

D:

[StarfoxFan2009]

I own a shiny Suicune that i got for a level one Larvitar in a wonder trade :X

[Seahawk]

OH YEAH well............I bet they had bad IVs!

IN YOUR FACE.

[Mareeps]

You'd think so, but you'd be wrong.

[Tails]

I have about 50 self caught shinies.

[ZedIsDead]

Masuda Method or chaining? There's no way you just happened across 50 shinies.

[Tails]

Actually, sweet scenting. I was getting them within 30 minutes.

[ZedIsDead]

I never was patient enough for that sort of thing.

My shiny record:

Silver: no shinies
Sapphire: no shinies
Diamond: no shinies
Black: no shinies
Black 2: oh come on, this is ridiculous
Y: no shinies

[Tails]

I actually found 3 shinies within 1 min of turning on the game.

Seviper, Wingull, and hoppip.

[Mareeps]

I found a random Sandile in Black, first encounter I had in over a month.


Shoutout to everyone that lost a shiny because it was on a ROM.

[ZedIsDead]

This month, you guys can get yourselves a Pumpkaboo via Mystery Gift.

Those have been known about for months now, just not officially revealed is all.

[StarfoxFan2009]
