Pocket Monsters 6th Gen (Dimensions) - Less than a week till release

[BT]

I'm still shocked over the gd Dragon immunity.

SE on Dark Fighting Dragon weak to Poison Steel I'm just wow hahah what.

Also yeah changes to Steel-types and possibly others make me fear Psychic-type takeovers.

edit why are the fossilmons so cute?

"Team Flare has five scientists, Kuseroshiki, Momiji, Bara, Akebi, Corea"  :3

And I take what I said about the Psychic-types back, they'd need proper OP mons to actually do something. Meanwhile Steel lost some cool resistances but has Fairy to obliterate in return. Kind of  a weird meta where Dragon and Fairy are both dominated by Steel-types.

Chespin's evo made me laugh so hard. That face. :V

Froakie's evo is so slender and stylish. :V

Fennekin's evo looks alright.

[Bio]

Outrage confirmed to be too risky to be used.

[MaStErSpArK94]

Corocoro apparently lists Geomancy, Oblivion Wing and Parting Shot as unknown-type moves.

[ToyoRai]

Because I like listing things:
-Chespin evolves into Hariboogu, which causes it to grow some sort of shell around it and grow larger tail (armadillo?). It stays pure Grass-type and can learn Mud Shot.
-Fennekin evolves into Teerunaa. Though it gains human-like body, it doesn't get second typing. Can leard Psycho Shot

Spoiler:

inb4Psyhic/Fighting

-Froakie evolves into Gerogashira. Even though it gains leaner body with purple skin, it stays pure Water type. Can learn Bounce like a good frog.
-The first fossil Pok?mon we have here is Chigorasu, a T-Rex which proves once again that dinosaurs are dragons (and rocks). It jaws are so devastationg, it ability Hard Jaw boosts the pwoer of biting moves. It of course learns Crunch.
-The second fossil Pok?mon is the Diplodocus Amarusu. Amusingly being Rock/Ice, its Freeze Skin turns its Normal-type moves into Ice-type moves. Aurora Beam is one of its known moves.
-Torimian is the briefly seen white dog Pok?mon. Its Normal-type, and gains extra defense to psychical attacks thanks to Fure Coat. Interestingly, you can customise Torimian, trimming away its fur and recolouring it, so you can have your oversized poodle.
-The Psychic cat Nyaonikusu differ base on its gender. And with that, I mean Nidoran family like gender difference. The male ones have supporting role, knowing Miracle Eye, where as female are attackers with Extrasensory. They can ahve Keen Eye or Infiltrator as their abilites, though whenever they are gender base is unknown.
-Mewtwo has confirmed to have two Mega evolutions. The previous one is known as Mega Mewtwo Y. The new one is the Mega Mewtwo X. This one is Pyschic/Fighting and gets ability Steadfast. Mewtwonite X and Mewtwonite Y are the ways to turn it.
-Because fuck everything, Mega Garchomp with Sand Force.
-New NPC is shown called Karune. Actress, trainer, runner of boutique and salon to change your hair and clothes, she does quite a few stuff.
-Team Flare has five professors working to them called Kuseroshiki, Momiji, Bara, Akebi and Corea. ANd here's their updated motivation:
Step 1: Aquire money
Step 2:
Step 3: FabulousBeautiful world

So the question is for me is "what does this mean for NU?" Dragons moving down (probably not that far)? Poisons moving up? I kind of hope not, because my mono-Poison NU team can't afford to lose many guys.

[Suikama]

oh another mewtwo? maybe this one will look cooler

...nope

...actually on second thought technically yes :V


at least mega garchomp looks good

also chespin's evo holy shit

[Red Frost]

-Because fuck everything, Mega Garchomp with Sand Force.

"Oh man, no one's gonna like this... let's see what the damage is."
*click*
"... I still need to pick up Monster Hunter."
 
The new Fossil Pokemon have some pretty neat abilities.  I'm leaning towards the little Tyrannosaurus, but the Ice one could evolve into something cool.  Wish they'd make more than two per gen, I'm still waiting for a velociraptor, ichthyosaur, and spinosaurus.
I didn't expect Froakie to evolve into something so lean and cool looking.  Maybe I'll have to reconsider choosing Fennekin as my starter.

[trancehime]

Wait, so GF is actually not just adding Fairy as an obvious balance bandage, but is actually changing the type chart to nerf other types that are too strong?! [I expect Ghost to get some change as well if this is true]

if this is true then Water would have been nerfed

GameFreak pls

However, Steel losing its resistances to Dark and Ghost IS true. Confirmed by CoroCoro scan

"Team Flare has five scientists, Kuseroshiki, Momiji, Bara, Akebi, Corea"  :3

Momiji is actually the most commonly used Japanese name of the five names listed there. :V

also megagarchomp with sandforce not necessarily super duper awesome; it loses the item which tends to make it good since the item slot is taken up for the Mega evolution

[WHMZakeri]

Fennekin's evo looks alright.

I agree

[Edible]

11:06: According to the leaker, Steel has lost its resistance to Dark and Ghost

GET WRECKED

oh my fucking god what's happening

\o/ Fuck you, Skarmory!

[Edible]

On an unrelated note - has there been any information on how transfers to XY from previous gen games will work?

[commandercool]

Sounds like that's something the Pokemon Bank service can do. And free trials will be available somehow at some point from what I hear, so you won't need to pay to do so, at least for a while.

[MaStErSpArK94]

I agree

Your avatar just changed everything in my mind. I really want a fox witch final evo now :V

[SatorKoi57]

Also, Tormian pre-evo should be a Toy Poodle.
Nuff said.

[WHMZakeri]

It really is foreshadowing a Witch full-evo, which is kind of getting me excited for the fire type. I can easily see the ears growing closer together into a witch hat, and the tail with a stick is heavily resembles a broom.

Well, looking at the clearer scan on Serebii, you can see in the screenshot Teerunaa using the stick as a wand to attack. Which further emphasizes the Witch/Magician theory. :V

[ToyoRai]

Litleo's evolution, Pyroar

So the question is will Pyroar differ if its female, does Litleo evolve into different Pok?mon if its female or does Gamefreak not care.

[MatsuriSakuragi]

Probably just look different? It's not at all unnatural for Pokemon to have different designs based on their sex.

Yeah, the Jellicent comes to mind! Pringle moustache on the male xD

[Raikaria]

It also likely means Fire/Psychic, the exact opposite to all them Fire/Fightings.

Of course, I think most would have guessed this now we know it learns both Confusion and Psycho Cut.

[MatsuriSakuragi]

I was thinking about Unfezant, myself! But Jellicent is better :>

[ToyoRai]

English trailer. Tells the english names of the new Pok?mon, female Pyroar, Mega Garchomp and Mega Mewtwo and some costumes

More type changes:
-Grass-types are immune to powder and spore moves
-Electric-types cannot be paralyzed (as in, outside of Electric-type moves like Force Palm)
-Ghosts are immune to trapping moves

And human names:
-Team Flare scientists are called Celosia (purple hair), Aliana (orange haired), Bryony (green haired), Mable (blue haired) and Xerosic (only man)
-The actress/trainer/salon and boutique owner is called Diantha.
-Also, the two fossils are Jaw and Sail fossils

I'm happy that they made female Pyroar different (which makes sense, as a lioness). Also Frogadier is a pretty kickass name imo.

More type changes:
-Grass-types are immune to powder and spore moves

Interesting... More stuff to keep in mind for competitive players.

[ToyoRai]

So Mega Garchomp. It has higher Attack and Special Attack, but loses Speed
Stuff on boutiques and salons and Trainer PR Videos
Pok?mon Global Link


As a side note, we STILL don't have english name for Oorotto.

[Raikaria]

So Mega Garchomp. It has higher Attack and Special Attack, but loses Speed

And then No-one used Mega Garchomp ever because it lost the trolly 102 base speed.

Although makes me wonder, since you Mega-Evolve and can attack; would you Mega-Evolve off Garchomp's base speed then wait for something between your speeds to attack, or would you attack from MG's base speed? Or would Mega-Evo work like item use, but not use your turn? Hnngk.

[MaStErSpArK94]

Also, there's a fairy type move called "Baby Doll Eyes" (lolwut), has priority and lowers the opponent's attack.

How to defeat dragons according to Fairies: cute eyes and kisses. And Moonblasts. :V

[ToyoRai]

The fact that Furfrou can learn it and has ability what reduces physical damage taken just makes things worse.

Stat-lowering moves are generally trash, this sounds like it could make them more viable.

I demand physical Hidden Power and special Intimidate or I call (further) special favoritism. :V
