Looking at all the leaked shit, it seems like a decent game, great counting the tech advancement, even better that
Show Content
I can pretend to be the little girl and dress up
.
But seriously, my only complaint is the lack of new pokemon. A bit below the average that is usually introduced. I will give one spoiler for those who might not be able to pick up the games right away. (Barely a spoiler, but will spoiler it anyways)

There is a Z pokemon, which is almost guaranteed to get a Pokemon Z version. If you can't play them anytime soon, just wait for that. There were two dates on the pokemon countdown site, the next one ending in November of next year, which will probably be the release date for that.
Anyways, I'm going with Froakie and Squirtle, I give no shits that I'll have two Water Pokemon, Froakie has the best Evo's and Squirtle is fucking Squirtle.
Ringo__StarrFairy type is godlike
In case you haven't been following any of the leaks, Fairy pokemon seem to be really weak besides a select few. Don't get your hopes up. The only one so far that seems like it'll be a useful Fairy to have is Gardevoir.

its not really a surprise that nintendo releases a special pokemon version a year later, they've only done it with every generation so far

That would probably make sense considering Gardevoir has been pretty good since it became a thing. Is Mew going to be a fairy type? It would make sense.

kirbyRiddleWhoops! Could have sworn there was one and that was it. Weird.kirbyxenexoff topic question. does anyone have a good emulator to play pokemon on pc?
http://3dsemulator.org/ - 3DS
http://www.desmume.com/ - DS
http://vba.ngemu.com/ - GB/GBA
lolwut. There is no 3DS emulator. We are not even close to being able to emulate the 3DS. I can't check wtf that is because I'm not on Windows but it is definitely fake, and probably a scam.
It's not even open source, seems like some sort of warning (not that emulators have to be open source, they generally are though).

so Yveltal and Xerneas both have STAB moves on Zygarde.
Meaning the "master" of the trio is actually the weakest of the trio(that's unique).
The Fossils are cool as fuck. But only one is really . . . worth using.
There's a Sword pokemon. You should catch and train it, no matter how retarded it looks.
Pokemon 666 is a butterfly.

azelffIndimanpokemon now just look like a shitty concoction of pixelsazelffpokemon is falling....how
I'm with him on that though I wouldn't phrase it that drastically. Pokemon designs have been getting steadily...busier visually. They moved away from simply exaggerating (anatomical) features of animals, objects etc and started incorporating more complex ideas and concepts (like Emboar's Oni patterns) or just slapped random shapes on them to make them look more distinct. That shows lack of creativity and looking back to Gen I or II, it hurts. Now they're messing with the earliest designs with those Mega Evolutions. Here, Charizard, have claws on your shoulders.
At least that is only temporary.

While I do think their design choices for making new pokemon have strayed from where they began, I woulnd't say that the newer designs are shitty or thoughtless (except klefki , like REALLY?) They still obviously put time and effort into designing newer pokemon, its just a very different kind of design. You aren't really supposed to draw parallels to the real world like you could with Blue/Red up to Saph/Ruby, they're just designing interesting looking creatures for you to capture and collect

Right, it's just differing opinions.
I preferred my Pokemon as smartly stylised references to nature. It fit so well with the evolution theme they have/had. With Mega Evolutions this has no more become like Digimon, a temporary upgrade. Evolution has been given a backseat as a mechanic. I don't think the new designs are bad, they're just not my thing. At all. The newer ones just seem to yell 'Look at my pretty colours, random patterns and shapes!' -and some of them are definitely neat (I know how tough it is to create something visually interesting (I study dat stuff)), I just liked the older designs better because they had a clear ethos, ontop of great, visually appealing design.

Right, it's just differing opinions.
I preferred my Pokemon as smartly stylised references to nature. It fit so well with the evolution theme they have/had. With Mega Evolutions this has no more become like Digimon, a temporary upgrade. Evolution has been given a backseat as a mechanic. I don't think the new designs are bad, they're just not my thing. At all. The newer ones just seem to yell 'Look at my pretty colours, random patterns and shapes!' -and some of them are definitely neat (I know how tough it is to create something visually interesting (I study dat stuff)), I just liked the older designs better because they had a clear ethos, ontop of great, visually appealing design.
Voltorb/Electrode - something that looked like pokeballs.
Magnemite/Magneton - just magnets and metals stuck together.
Diglett/Dugtrio - modeled after the whac-a-mole machine.
Jynx - racial representation of a black chick.
Mr. Mime - a clown/mime love-child.
Unown - it's the fucking alphabet.
Every generation always had amazing designs and shitty designs, don't let nostalgia blur your perception. I mean Dugtrio is still cool as hell but you can't really give flak to newer pokemon that didn't look like animals and ignore all the older pokemons that was not animals to begin with.
