obvious troll is obvious... (not you, him)

I guess. I am so bad at noticing trolls lol

 

[Boss Doggie]

Why is everyone being taken over by Team Flare?!

As expected, Fennekin has the ugliest evolution. Looks like his 3rd evolution might be fire/fighting. LOL

It uses a wand, silly.

Breaks-in

"Braikzen" probably. That's how I pronounce it.

I though it was Bree-Zen.

To twitter, pronto!

Eh?

Edit: Damn I fell.

 

[Tusk]

Seems like it. The French name for its evo seems like a combination of croak and corporal.

Omg.. Makes me think about Sergeant frog even more. Lance Corporal Dororo.

As a native french speaker, I would give MY version, but I don't know how to write it as it would be written in english. :/

Team Chespin in denial mode.

Team Flare looks great, and the customization is far more than I imagined. Still pretty iffy on the balance changes, though I welcome any buffs to grass

Even if I'm team Froakie, I still think he is quite cute. No Denial here, just your personal opinion.

[Charlie0108]

Anyone else starting to think Fennekin's evolve might be Fire/Fairy instead of Fire/Psychic? The whole concept seems more Fairy to me, plus that PokeBeach rumour hasn't been 100% accurate, e.g Psychic doesn't resist Fairy and where is Espurr?

 

[Antiwhippy]

Team Chespin in denial mode.

Chespin haters just gonna hate.

Knightspin too awesome.

 

[foxuzamaki]

I'm not sure what you are talking about, the system is a 3DS, it's not a massive jump in the first place.

woah woah woah, how did so many people let this post slide? the 3DS is a HUGE jump from the DS.

 

[Stone Ocean]

Embrace the fabulous.

 

[Caladrius]

I'm assuming Braixen is pronounced like Brazen. At least that seems like a good double-pun.

I'm pretty sure I have my full team figured out now. Pity the game is nearly a month away. Black-out would be extremely difficult for me.

 

[LonelyGreyWolf]

Aww, all the starters looked great but their evolutions are terrible :/

 

[Dr. Buni]

I would approve of Braixen evolving into Fire/Fairy

And Quilladin into Grass/Steel

And I don't really care about Frogadier

btw

A clear reference to Lyra's outfit. I hope there are clothes similar to those of the older protagonists as well. I also hope we can dress the characters as Team Flare admins.

 

[peanutbutterlatte]

My five cents is Brayk-zen. As in Braized Vixen.

 

[Toad.T]

Omg.. Makes me think about Sergeant frog even more. Lance Corporal Dororo.

Damn it, I already used that name for Seismitoad. I just hope Froakie's 3rd stage is badass, so I can justify calling him Zoruru.

 

[Toxi]

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.

Steel is an incredibly powerful type. In the OU tier, in addition to Scizor and Ferrothorn, you have Forretress, Heatran, Jirachi, Lucario, Magnezone, Metagross, and Skarmory. Heatran was especially popular, at one point with usage higher than Scizor. While these Pokemon have good stats already, their Steel typing gives them all an extra bulk that makes them far harder to kill. When X and Y comes around, Heatran will have five quadruple resistances and only two weakness, one of which can be solved by Air Balloon.

With X and Y, Steel types will lose two resistances, sure, but they'll also gain a new one and that same type will be weak to Steel attacks, giving Steel types more reason to justify STAB moves. They're going to continue being a strong type that resists a ton of shit.

 

[DaBoss]

Breaks-en (pronounce -en as you pronounce the letter "n").

Makes it sound like -ixen in Vixen a bit.

 

[Mr-Joker]

Aww, all the starters looked great but there evolutions are awesome

Fixed it for you.

Just give them time since you aren't used to the evolution just yet.

 

[Boss Doggie]

What about Brazzers

also can you crossdress?

 

[Elfteiroh]

woah woah woah, how did so many people let this post slide? the 3DS is a HUGE jump from the DS.

Because it's irrelevant. It doesn't even deserve the attention.

Hey, out of topic a bit, but Am I the only one to see the unusual amount of juniors in these threads!? Has there been a fresh batch recently?

Spoiler

I have been a Junior for a LOOONG time now, but it's the first time I actually converse with more than one at the same time in a thread!

 

[Stone Ocean]

I'm saying Braixen with Brai as in Braille and kzen for now.

But who cares, I'm naming mine Marisa anyways.

 

[Schadenfreude]

I thought it was branch vixen.

 

[Avixph]

So, has this been posted/can I post it?

It's from the official site.

I wonder if this character would do this in the anime.

 

[QuiteWhittle]

And Quilladin into Grass/Steel

So do I. Grass/Dark is a terrible typing.

 

[Fireblend]

I also hope we can dress the characters as Team Flare admins.

It'd be great if we could disguise as Team Flare grunts to infiltrate their HQ or something.

 

[Aggrotek]

All of these pronunciations are so brazenly wrong.

 

[Busaiku]

Ugh, still can't get over how lame the evolutions are.

 

[FSLink]

I wonder if this character would do this in the anime.

Very likely considering they downright admitted they change only the female lead for the "eyecandy". Oh Japan...

 

[whyreggielie]

Im really scared of spoiling their 3rd evolution, no more vids for me. But I'm going going Fennekin. I want that fire psychic combo and she/he is a great looking starter.

 

[Elfteiroh]

Exactly how I would say it! And I'm French. So Frog approved!

Given Quilladin's 'shell' implying maybe a Grass/Steel 3rd evo, and the name Frogadier implying a Water/Fighting 3rd evo, this would make the type effectiveness go in both directions:

Grass > Water > Fire (> Grass)
Steel < Fighting < Fairy (< Steel)

( a > b means 'a is super-effective against b' )

Makes a lot of sense.

 

[TrueBlue]

also can you crossdress?

I can see it happening, after Animal Crossing.

 

[Dr. Buni]

It'd be great if we could disguise as Team Flare grunts to infiltrate their HQ or something.

Sadly that would be only for a short time, like in the Johto games. I'd like to dress as Team Flare admin (not grunt ) all the time.

 

[Winterfang]

Chespin haters just gonna hate.

Knightspin too awesome.

Just like the ugly lion where so sure it was going to turn into a badass Manticore instead of the derpiest Lion in history. I wouldn't hold my breath.

 

[7Th]

I am calling that Diantha is the true Team Flare boss. She looks too fabulous to be just a not-so-important NPC.

Nah, she is the Champion. They aren't even subtle about it, honestly.

 

[Elfteiroh]

They could use the same system to customize your character to make you infiltrate... hell, that could be like a mini tutorial to get you to try the feature.

Just like the ugly lion where so sure it was going to turn into a badass Manticore instead of the derpiest Lion in history. I wouldn't hold my breath.

You know, I never understood the ones saying it would become a manticore. I always said it would only be an awesome lion. I was the one that was right!

Spoiler

OK, I really need to get some sleep, as I'm really starting to want to eat all of your souls. Hum... Delicious souls... ... ... Eh. Good nig~~ day...

Huh, that does seem pretty plausible.

I don't have to hold my breath on an already good design.

 

[Stone Ocean]

Just unlock the Flare clothing after an event in the game or something.

 

[foxuzamaki]

obvious troll is obvious... (not you, him)



Well... uh... They are female, DUH! Everything female is always 100 times better!

Spoiler

(Not joking here, really how I think)

Haha my comment was horrible, I meant how come the female pokemon designs are so much better.

Because it's irrelevant. It doesn't even deserve the attention.

Quilladin would be unable to hit Braixen with SE attacks though, since Braixen's Fire-type nullifies the Steel SE against Fairy. Still, Steel/Fairy/Fighting is much better than that Dark/Psychic/Fighting crap.

Nah, she is the Champion. They aren't even subtle about it, honestly.

I can see she being the champion. She is like the polar opposite of Cynthia in terms of design, btw.

 

[Elfteiroh]

lol true

Yeah, and that's exactly the same thing I'm saying. The female designs are REALLY better, and it's BECAUSE they are female, IMHO.

 

[Uno Venova]

Ya know, I never got why people looked at litleo and thought it would sprout wings.

 

[Dr. Buni]

That is so sexist :/

Spoiler

and also the absolute truth

Seriously, I am baffled.

 

[Stone Ocean]

Ya know, I never got why people looked at litleo and thought it would sprout wings.

Yeah. If anything, I'd expect a derpy lion evo before a manticore.

 

[Kurtofan]

You have my sword Quilladin.

 

[Unicorn]

My five cents is Brayk-zen. As in Braized Vixen.

Why not Braizen? Plays off blaze and zen (psychic rumor) as well as brazen which can mean bold.

 

[B-Dubs]

That new ability that turns normal attacks into ice type ones is damn good. Ice-type Return? Giga Impact? Hyper Beam? I said goddamn!

 

[Elfteiroh]

That is so sexist :/

Spoiler

and also the absolute truth

Eh, I'm a guy, and even me I can see the superiority of our female overlords!

Spoiler

No, really I am for equality, but female designs are usually much more imaginative (except the GenV bird... Goddamn the female was plain)

 

[Trigger]

Chespin's final knight form is going to be awesome.
