Another pure Ice-type line? Urgh. Glalie, Beartic, and Vanilluxe are terrible competitively. Where da fuck is Mega Jynx at?

I'm sure he has a wonderful personality, don't be so mean to him.

Not counting assumed evolutions or legendarys we're at 60, though. Just saying.

I'd assume Pumpkaboo has this.
Damn, Sliggoo at level 48 and it still hasnt evolved. I hope he keeps training it.

This is undoubtedly true. We can't just assume evolutions due to an open slot even when it's likely.
We'll just wind up disappointed when another Emolga-equivalent pops up to shatter our dreams.
<shakes fist at Emolga>
They were caught in the same game from what i can tell.
Youre the one calling him fat, telling him to get his ass on a treadmill :lol

At what level did it evolve the first time?
Pikaclones (besides Pichu) never evolve, silly. Raichu is proof that their evos probably get neglected.
Goomy evolves at level 40. I sense another Hydreigon level pattern.

Can't Theorymon about balance when the games aren't even out yet.
They really need to work on that next gen. It's embarrassing, especially if they're going to let you start with a Grass type.
Grass being strong against Fairy would've been a great start.

What if it doesn't evolve by level?

Seriously, this gen has been absolutely rocking designs. There is not a single one I dislike.
Fairy does seem OP but fine, I won't touch that. We do know that Grass, Ice and Poison still suck though.

Well, if you use common sense, then it won't be evolving soon like I was hopefully thinking.
Most pseudos evolve between 45-55, but Hydreigon was 64. Could be a while or any time now.
I was hoping Ice and Poison would be the only types good against Fairy. Grass would have been awesome, too.
Im guessing Sliggoo is taking a Dragonair approach. Quite a long wait I hope it looks great at the end.

I've seen a few people (including the leaker) assume it's by level and it might not be.
The Ghost/Grass Pokemon and Icechunk guy are pretty cool. We are inching closer to that number (though the master list should be revised, we have no idea if Doublade will have an evolution, same with a few others). Looks like it will probably be above 70, but I doubt it will touch 100 at all.
Here's type combos I'm surprised we don't have yet:
Bug/Dark
Ghost/Rock
Fire/Ice
Fire/Grass
Electric/Fighting

Does X/Y have the BW2 telephone thing where you can ask the professor how they evolve?
naw, just one that hides, then pops out and goes "boo!"

Still sad Electivire wasn't Electric/Fighting.
I love how GF went on about balance, but then admitted the only reason Fairy existed is because they didn't want to hurt Dragons' statistical advantage over the other types. So Fairy is made, and from the properties of the type alone they're pretty OP. They're immune to dragon and their only weaknesses are uncommon attacking types, one of which is night-worthless and both are weak to Earthquake.
And like you said, those other times weren't helped out at all. In fact I'm sure GF will continue to make defensive ice pokemon and tanky grass types.
Guys! Polygon.com revealed alternate evolutions for the starters in their review!!!

Way to use unlicensed fan art to shill the game, Polygon!
When that was the only thing you were told not to do.
Grass, while possibly on the weaker end of the types, isn't that awful. It's one of only two types to hit water SE, is immune to leech seed (and powder moves I guess, but LS is a big deal) and has some useful resistances, ground in particular.
Ice is just absolutely awful though, and it doesn't help when GF is making most of them slow and bulky.

Welp, can finally reveal it guys. I have been playing Pokemon Y all along!

The thing I wanted to share earlier: there is a random person from Hoenn talking about his region. He said it's a nice region etc etc, but the final thing he said was very interesting:
"You will see it in due time"
