STAB Ice typed Return, Giga Impact and Quick Attack, don't get my hopes up
No reason for it to use quick attack but stab return is delicious. Weaviles main problem is that it doesn't have a good ability like at all.

An ability would help but Weavile's real problem is that it doesn't have any attacks above 75 base power. Night Slash and Ice Punch just don't cut it.

Eh, I'm not so sure. It's still gonna rely on that Sp. Att stat, and Mewtwo X gets STAB now from Aura Sphere, so that could be super useful.
True that. I think physical ice and dark moves in general are plain weak

IIRC, we should be getting official art and assets in the next 12-15 hours! Get hype! Hopefully the in-game model/footage of Haribogue looks better.

It's tail. It may look feminine but there's no way they'd be strictly one gender.
And yeah, in the cleaner scan that the sites put up today, you can see it holding the stick with what looks like a flame on it. I speculated that it could be an attack or idle animation.

She can take off the stick and use it as a wand.
With that said it has that implication that because it eats kindling/sticks as Fennekin, that stick is something...

Well, yeah, if Pokexperto/trade-mark registrations are to be believed, the final starter's evos names in Japanese will be:
Burigaron (Chespin's)
Gekkouga (Froakie's)
Mafoxy (Fennekin's)
So I expect some sort of mage-look since Ma means magic in Japanese and also works as a pun English magic/mage too.

Mafoxy?...nickname will be Madoka it is then! That's not a stretch at all.
dammit...
I am on the brink of switching to #TeamFennekin
#TeamChespin, please forgive my insolence...

Gekkouga is the best name. Keep it for the english name! If the ninja gym leader can be koga, we can have that plus gekko.
Any insight into what burigaron means?

I am completely stumped on the other two. Gekogashira means ribbit + head of an organisation (like a Yakuza sect), but can't figure out Kouga in Gekkouga.
Burigaron has me completely stumped. I assume it's French, since both predecessors names include French references in the name, but cannot find anything.
I've never been very good with Japanese name meanings.

I switched!
I remember it like it was yesterday ...
I woke up, jumped onto /VP/, enlarged the image of the starters and once I saw that fatty fat fuck I actually said "NOOOoooooo!!!" out loud. Really, it was a mini-vador-NOOOOO moment.
We can only hope GF pulls a Feraligatr on us by bringing in a awesome final evol for him well allowing that THING to just be a awkward teen stage ...
Mafoxy sounds like they can change it to Magifoxy for English.
Croconaw was awesome.
So PokéBOMB XIII is tomorrow with all of the info in English. Who's making it?

If you're not soft resetting until you get a female starter with a proper nature you aren't playing Pokemon right.

Yeah, an awesomely strange looking hiccup in my favorite water starter line. Not UGLY but ya gotta admit ... that pattern on it's body is very far off from bother stages.
Thank goodness Feraligatr went back to looking like a "bigger version" of it's first stage.
... Why do people do this when others refer to Pokemon as "She/ Her"?
I'm sure you and anyone else who points this out would NOT do the same when someone refers to a Pokemon breed as "He".
I thought the caveman crocodile thing was cool.
I expect Lightning in the title somehow.

No no, you're right :3

Wait, English names can get Pokebomb too? Then again English names are news and it's a summation of everything.

Well, English names, art, screens and stuff. That's news and not posted or postable here due to being in scan form so far. Why not have a new thread?
Just do what I did with Pyroar: Make it a numbered sequel to the current PokeBomb, Final Fantasy-style. So in this case, Pokémon XII-3: English names for new Pokémon.
Personally, I want a simple title that will tell someone what the thread contains, so:
The Final PokéBOMB XIII: 2nd Stage Starters; More New Pokémon; More Megalutions
Substitute XIII with XII-3 if you would like to.
Admittedly it is strange, it weirdly
That's what happened every other time. We get threads for the scans, but since we can't post them, there is a new thread for when the English site posts the stuff and everyone can see them.

Sounds good enough to me. Can't wait for Trimeranian, Meowstick, Tyrannojawrus, Bronticle, Chusk, Tailuna, and Ribboss.

Yeah that sounds pretty decent. And the probable Pokemon news after that could be called PokeBomb Returns or something like that. Its a bit surprising that we haven't seen any legendaries aside from the cover legendaries and the Mega-Mewtwos. Hasn't it in previous games where we got to see at least another legendary prior to release
I agree with this, mainly because I think there will be one more batch of news before the game is released, and the final thread should be XIII

Make sure to include the type chart stuff as well.

I think it is the "cute" legendary we get to see before. Not sure though, I never really paid attention before.

True, so this should be good:
PokéBOMB XIII-3:English|2nd Stage Starters|New Pokémon|New Megalutions|Type Chart

Not likely, unless there's more Pyroar type individual reveal stuff or (another) Direct.
Even worse, it's the wrong "it's/its". ;P

Those last two are worthy of card art.
Not going to quote it because everyone else is, lol.
It might be even more involved; They could be making a pun of "Mafo", as in "Maho" (魔法）. Overlap!

Hmm... most fanart seem to miss Yveltal's "glowy" stomach and Xerneas's glowy antlers.

Because referring to a Pokémon that can have both genders as "he" or "she" she makes no sense? It is okay if you are referring to your specific Pokémon, but calling the whole Teerunaa species as "she" is just nonsense. Mine will definitely be male, but I still call Teerunaa "it" when talking to other people on internet boards. People are free to call the Pokémon whatever they want, though, it is just very annoying .
Anyway, while I like Haribogu's design, I am bit sad the "bogu" part wasn't related to Kendo equipment ;_; A Kendo practitioner Grass-type starter would be so awesome.
That is some seriously amazing stuff. I thought the first two were promo shots.
Looking forward to seeing more fanart of any more mega pokemon we see. Really makes me appreciate them more.
