So, on the main site, for Diantha. I dunno if someone said it already but it says "She may even trade Pokémon with you sometime during your adventure!"
It got me really interested. o: Maybe she'll offer to trade you a furflou? I dunno. :p I hope it's something cool.

Shiny Arceus. BELIEVE
OMG I DON'T WANT THAT!! Sick of being given a god... :/

Do note that her necklace appears to hold a Mega Stone in it -- may be a Mega Ring in a different form. I think there's more into her than meets the eye; we may be looking at the Kalos Champion.
 
Blue hair: No need to take your clothes off, I've already seen enough.
Green hair: I'm sorry, but your dick just isn't big enough.
Brown hair: On closer inspection, you seem to have a dick that I may or may not be willing to suck.
Purple hair: TAKE ME, JUST TAKE ME

Fixed.

Trading with the Champion before knowing it's her: MIND BLOWN.
OMG that would be so cool!

What in Arceus' butthole am I reading
 
So... How good is Gengar now?
Let's see...
Poison allows it to counter the new Fairy threat.
The tweaks to Steel allow it not to be galled by the likes of Metagross and Bronzong.
Can switch out at will.

Seems like it's had a lot of useful toys. Hopefully it gets that mooted Mega Evo.

Gengar's one of those Pokémon who's been viable in pretty much every single Gen. Now that both of his STABs got significantly buffed and that he's rumored to receive a Mega Evolution, he's going to be pretty awesome.

One of the Pokemon I've loved since the start, but for some reason never made it across my main team for reasons. Hopefully this time is different.
 
Fairy looks like the new Dragon. Weak to Steel and Poison WTF, How many Steel/Poison types are running around the meta. Bullet punch is the only move i can recall you could possibly have to look out for. SE against common types (cya Hydreigon). Can switch in on practically any dragon in OU I can think of. Fighting and Dark resistance means everyone will want it as a secondary type (dark/fairy looks very appealing), and if weather meta still continues (water/fairy) will stop X-combat and can block for ferrothorn.

The only thing left is move variety. If the big fairies can learn flamethrower etc, then they GameFreak seem to be replacing one problem with another.

Did the thing other other page say that flying types cannot be affected by like spikes and stuff, does that include stealth rock.

That'd be hilarious.

Yeah, I noticed the necklace. It would be pretty cool if she was the champion, her appearance does seem that way.
 
Depending on the last form of Froakie, he could end up being my favorite Pokemon of all time.

And wow, I had no idea this game was coming out in a month!

Sludge bomb is actually useful for something and steel types are no longer resistant to dark/ghost attacks( lol metagross, jirachi, bronzong)

I'd say pretty great lol.

Dang I was afraid of that, I really dislike fighting Gengars. I like however that Poison Attacks finally will get some lime light.

They are not really a terrible typing per se, they just need some better pokes. (Also that Scorpion Pokemon can finally run Dark/Poison attacks without getting walled)

I really disagree with this point and find it damn near baseless. Scizor and Ferrothorn are great, so that means the entire type has to suffer? Same goes for Fighting. It was already perfectly balanced with 3 types resisting (2 of which SE it) and another that was completely immune.

IMO this is a really botched balancing job, and GF will be forced to nuke Fairy in the future. All because they didn't want to gimp dragons too badly.

Why not mention skarmory, forretress, metagross, heatran, magnezone, lucario etc. And you're not addressing the significance of it being SE against fairy, the best type to deal with dragons, the strongest type
so far
.

Regardless, I'm really glad they're shaking up the metagame beyond just adding new pokémon.

As expected, the poster was just a drive-by. How sad.

My birthday will be godly! So Effing pumped....

I get to be legally drunk while playing the greatest Pokemon game ever created!

Seriously.... If GF isnt careful, they could redirect my love for Squirtle

Those names are a bit... Frogadier, Furfrou, Meowstic, Pyroar, all of them have the related English word right then and there in full. I don't know. I don't know guys, those names are a bit silly.

Meowstic design is pretty great (it's also pretty great). I don't like the fur on Pyroar's female form either, it should've just not have one.
 
is the any change for Starmie to change to Water/Fairy? I always felt the Psychic type of her as an after though, only providing unnecessary weaknesses.

Dude, pokemon names have always been silly.

T-Rex is... part dragon? I never noticed this

He's a dragon and a dinosaur at the same time i'm fainting

In a lot of asian cultures dinosaurs and dragons are the same thing. Dinosaur in Japanese is "Kyouryu", which means "terrible dragon".

Not really. Psychic typing allows Starmie to wall Infernape and other fighting types. Fairy would do the same, but Psychic is far from useless.

I really like their designs, their artists are getting really good at drawing cute characters.
