That's arguably an improvement.

If you say so?

 

[Zoramon089]

Which is weird, because there's an old screenshot showing Sky Battle without shadows!

We don't know when in the dev cycle certain footage was pulled from. Regardless, I'm guessing if we were able to spot it, they were too

 

[fraktur]

i expect absolutely nothing, and i'll be still let down.

Spoiler

probably

 

[Caladrius]

If you say so?

Instead of just being a pokeball with eyes it is now a pokeball with eyes after being rammed into a trash compactor, which I find much funnier.

 

[Niwa]

farfetch'd evo.
BELIEVE!

With an onion-masamune.

 

[Diprosalic]

farfetch'd evo.
BELIEVE!

came here for this.

all original 151 should have at least 1 evo (excl. legendaries). except ditto since that wouldn't make much sense.

farfetch'd
Lapras
Kangaskhan -> got mega evo so we won't see another one
Pinsir
Tauros
Aerodactyl

I expect a Pokemon, anythong will excite me. Even a Qwilfish evo.

 

[Zalman]

farfetch'd evo.

Flying/Fighting

[Dr. Buni]

Where is the fucking reveal. I hate waiting -_-~

 

[Caladrius]

Where is the fucking reveal. I hate waiting -_-~

Reveal coming at 11:59 PM PDT.

 

[Qurupeke]

Come on......

 

[Vyse24]

 

[ColtraineGF]

Oh... WHAT.

 

[Tathanen]

Well there it is.

 

[Dawg]

Game Freak are trolls.

 

[Dr. Buni]

Honedge, of all things? Really?

 

[Stone Ocean]

"Paint it pink and add another one!"

 

[vareon]

Game Freak are trolls.

By staying true to their words?

 

[Aggrotek]

Let the complaints commence.


Personally, I like it.

 

[Berordn]

I like that the scabbards form a shield of sorts. Third form is going to be a ghost holding a third sword in one hand and Doublade in the other, I bet.

 

[MicH]

Well, that's disappointing

 

[Deleted member 231381]

that is some old -school diglett->dugtrio right there

 

[Tathanen]

Honege confirmed as gen 6 magnemite?

 

[PK Gaming]

I'm glad they decided that Doublade (great name btw!) was important enough to warrant the hype.

Spoiler

Not

 

[Bullza2o]

Unexpected... I like it though!

 

[gngf123]

" add another one!"

I actually like it.

 

[Charlie0108]

First Pokemon this generation I don't like. I liked Honedge but this just screams laziness. Would have much rather it stayed standalone.

 

[Qurupeke]

SHIT JUST GOT REAL! Dual hand blades!

 

[Wilbur]

Honedge was okay. Didnt like it dislike it. This one is the same.

 

[Schadenfreude]

Those sons of bitches.

 

[Dawg]

By staying true to their words?

No, I just think this reveal is pretty funny

 

[Zen_Arcade]

It's no Magneton.

 

[C.Olimar788]

On one hand, it's just Honedge times two, which is a little disappointing.
On the other, it's two Ghost-Swords at once!
Back on the first hand, I think it would've been cooler if Honedge evolved into a possessed suit of armor like people were expecting...
Buuuuut on the other hand, it looks like a Pokemon that will have very cool animations in-battle. Also, No Guard!

 

[IceDoesntHelp]

Calling it, third evo to be called Trisword

 

[Dr.Palutena]

Let the complaints commence.


Personally, I like it.

IT JUST ADDS MORE OF ITSELF HOW UNORIGINAL

 

[Tan]

Godamnit.


I'm gonna copy the text on serebii because I'm mean:
"The official site has revealed the new Pokémon. This Pokémon is called and is the evolution of Doublade. It is a Steel/Ghost-type Pokémon and is the evolution of the Pokémon Honedge. It is Steel/Ghost-type like it's pre-evolution and has the same ability of No Guard. It is capable of carrying out intricate attacks by telepathically coordinating its two blades to deliver twice the slice in battle."

 

[silver.tongue]

It's the Icecream thing from Gen5 all over again.

Absolutely dreadful design...

 

[Aggrotek]

First Pokemon this generation I don't like. I liked Honedge but this just screams laziness. Would have much rather it stayed standalone.

Tell this to Magnemite, Diglett, Vanilite and Klang. Jesus, it's not like this is something new.

 

[SloaneRisette]

Let the complaints commence.


Personally, I like it.

Yeah, me too.

The concept is a bit silly, but the design itself looks nice I think.

 

[Dr. Buni]

Doublade is like those Generation I evolutions.

I am glad it wasn't a freaking second eeveelution though

 

[Qurupeke]

No Guard ability makes sense now.

 

[Zen_Arcade]

Tell this to Magnemite, Diglett, and Klang. Jesus, it's not like this is something new.

Just because they've done it before doesn't mean he has to like that they do it.

 

[Unspeakable Evil]

Well ok XD

 

[Village]

IT JUST ADDS MORE OF ITSELF HOW UNORIGINAL

Yeah when its like digglet and its 3 derp things on the ground.

Its swords that kind of cool, it needs to have a 3rd evo where it just turns into a giant staff with two swords on each end.

 

[The Silver]

Going back to gen 1 evo ideas

 

[silver.tongue]

Tell this to Magnemite, Diglett, Vanilite and Klang. Jesus, it's not like this is something new.

I agree with you, it's just that it is the first gen where I don't seen to like any pokemon. The excepction beeing the Tyranossaur... which is awesome.

Gen5 was weird at first but grew on me. Gen6, so far, is hideous.

 

[ScraftyDevil]

"Paint it pink and add another one!"

Gen I School of Evolution Design.

Doublade looks silly. I hope it evolves into something awesome instead of just being like, Tripaule or something.

 

[DaBoss]

Dual blades are always a good thing.

 

[Frost_Ace]

Hope there's a tihrd form which is actually an armor
