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

[ErASeR MOdER MAxiMUM]

They're totally pretty patties and nobody is going to tell me otherwise.

[Third Eye Lem]

They're totally pretty patties and nobody is going to tell me otherwise.

Only if they change the Pokemon's tongue color, like in the original Spongebob episode :V

Anyone wanna bet that one of the new Pokemon will be Ice/Fairy type? IT WILL BE THE STRONGEST IF IT EXISTS

CIRNO ISNT SCARED OF DRAGONS


...oh shit watch out Meiling :ohdear:

[Edible]

"it's stupid effective"

[PX]

uh yeah, high GROUNDED objects

also dark is weak vs bug because evil people hate bugs yes but ghosts nah they're fine

Dark is weak vs Bug because Dark is Evil in Japan, and Kamen Riders defeat evil!

welp mind fucking blown :colonveeplusalpha:

Is there a hug option?  I need a hug option.  You can't just pet a Joltik, you need to hug it.
 
Oh, about the Fairy > Dragon thing, aren't dragons sometimes portrayed as incredibly weak to magic?  Also, before applying Egg Group logic, remember that Skitty x Wailord is a thing.  You can also make two blood-rivals start a dysfunctional family together with the birth of their weird mongoose-snake lovechild.
Here's hoping that Poison > Fairy, because that type really needs some buffs.
 
Who wants to start a betting pool on what color the Fairy-type cards will be in the TCG?  I don't think they have any colors left open, so my money's on ALL OF THEM.

Wait, Skitty...and Wailord?

Also, why not pink for Fairy cards?  We've got purple for Psychic/Ghost/Poison and red for Fire, but do we have pink?

[trancehime]

Wait, Skitty...and Wailord?

Yes, those two were in compatible egg groups, so they could breed.

I'm guessing huge odds on Normal, since Fairy seems to be adapted from Normal anyway. I also hope Fairy is weak to Poison, because buffing Clefable and Weezing in one go would make me very, very happy.

A+ for bringing back one of the old best sound effects

[trancehime]

>Horde Battles
>5 versus 1

ROFLMAO

09:50:33 (Subject18) Strong bond will result in more critical hits or better dodging. RichIGN

The entirety of Smogon is crying right now: Happiness Clause confirmed

[Wriggle]

5 WAILORDS VS 1 SKITTY AHAHAHAHAH

ALSO I'M GONNA USE MY EELEKTROSS IN SKY BATTLE BECAUSE LEVITATE IS ALLOWUD

The power of heart and friendship has give you the power to blah blah blah

[commandercool]

Wow, five on one battles? That sounds amazing. Maybe legendary fights will be real boss battles finally. Really like the sound of that.

[ふねん1]

A new Fairy type, huh? Unless it actually resists Dragon as well, I don't think it'll shake up things at all to be honest.

Still, I'm feeling the hype as usual for a new generation. Now if only I had a 3DS...

Ice is still ridiculously good for type coverage so all it'll be is a slight nerf to dragons as more pokemon will be able to hit stab supers.

[Garlyle]

It's also 'Why exactly are fairies strong against dragons? I don't see the logic.' and 'Why exactly are Marill and Gardevoir Fairies now?'

While I can't answer the second, consider how many fairy tales exist in which dragons are slain.  :3c
It's also been mentioned that dragons are usually defeated via some sort of 'magic' implement which is what Fairy type would seem to be suggesting

>Horde Battles
>5 versus 1

and you thought getting attacked by two zubat at once in BW2 was bad

[BT]

Is there a link to the entire Pokemon Direct somewhere? I'm not finding one anywhere so I guess it can be summed up or something?

Either way Happiness Clause is 100% guaranteed yeah, right after a generation full of evasion ban talks.

[MatsuriSakuragi]

Question is, how are they supposed to monitor and/or control pokemon under this clause? Can you only play competitively if you make them hate you?

[BT]

Oh, I'm not talking about official tournaments (they'll allow (and by that force) Pokemon-Amie usage most likely), I'm talking about simulators.

...But if the official format's using this there's not much to do about it, actually. There will probably be "an alternative metagame" for a while before it's abandoned as people get used to crap-battles.

[MaStErSpArK94]

Also, according to Serebii:

"Players able to choose between languages in the game itself, English, French, Italian, German, Spanish, Japanese, or Korean."

I approve of this. :V

[trancehime]

"Players able to choose between languages in the game itself, English, French, Italian, German, Spanish, Japanese, or Korean."

Yeah, but once you pick one, you're stuck with it

[Blue]

I wonder how all those badass legendaries(Arceus, Giratina, etc.) will look when you "bond" with them in Pokemon-amie. Now I want to get it JUST for that...

...Happy Eelektross is going to be SCARY.

[MaStErSpArK94]

CoroCoro is leaking.

That lion cub is adorable.

What kind of name is Spewpa?

[Janitor Morgan]

Alternatively: http://serebii.net/index2.shtml

"In this small portion of a scan, it shows a new character called Sana (サナ), who appears to be the character who follows you in the forest within the early trailer." does this mean we're helping Sana to not be lost

Also if the flower is Fairy and not Grass, then perhaps some other ones will be difficult to type-match at first glance.

[BT]

Naw, I guessed it was Fairy before I saw the actual type. Maybe a bit problematic but I doubt the new Fairy-types won't be (ideally) blatant.

[Savory]

I still hate "Talonflame" as a name.
