I dare everyone to get this pokemon in your party.

Their weaknesses are only Fire, Ground, Dark and Ghost x2. they don't have any x4 weakness.

Screenshots

Interestingly, it knows Sacred Sword

 

[peanutbutterlatte]

I have no strong Pokefeelings towards this Pokeannouncement one way or a-Poke-nother.

 

[OnPoint]

Looking sharp.

 

[The Broken Ska Record]

Pretty obvious given the name of the pre-evo. Still it's pretty awesome.

 

[dragonflys545]

I guess the Pokemon design has finally hit it's peak...

 

[Neoriceisgood]

I hope it has another evo that is three swords.

 

[Gintoki]

Waiting for santoryu

 

[DaBoss]

Like I said before, dual blades are always awesome.

I'm really interested in seeing a video of it to see how it animates.

You probably don't even play Pokemon. Or even give a shit.

I like Honedge better. The pink on Doublade kills it for me. It's my least favorite color. Should have kept the blue or made it purple. That's just my opinion though.

Edit - The design itself is tits though. Just don't like the color.

Double Edit - I just noticed the purple. Pink still ruins it

 

[Jackpot]

That's what passes for a Pokemon? Classic 151 or bust.

 

[Dr. Buni]

I am not a fan of this kind of evolution, but at least it makes sense given Honedge's name.

Magneton.

Dugtrio.

 

[PreyingShark]

Go google "Tyrantrum".

If you don't find that awesome then I feel sorry for you. Doublade is Classic 151 in spirit BTW.

Don't stop believin'.

 

[Tan]

Aaand we're back.

 

[Trey]

Magneton.

Dugtrio.

Dodrio.

 

[Fey]

This looks like the Magnemite/Klink of Gen VI tbh.

 

[Korosenai]

Waiting for santoryu

If it happens im getting it and naming it Zoro.

 

[Tan]

Dodrio.

Hey. You leave Dodrio out of this.

 

[peanutbutterlatte]

This looks like the Magnemite/Klink of Gen VI tbh.

Except nobody ever went into battle thinking "I will use my legendary haunted cog to defeat my enemy". Swords are cool.

 

[pikablu]

2 Swords! Truuuuuuuuu.

 

[Anoregon]

Jay Wilson is clearly working for Game Freak.

 

[Toxi]

It's a swords display.

 

[Zen_Arcade]

More then anything I'm glad they threw something out there no one was expecting to get today.

 

[IntelliHeath]

And so would you agree with your own comment if you see Tyrantrum?

 

[Unicorn]

I hope it has another evo that is three swords.

Oh but of course. Can't have dugtrio, dotrio, magneton, or the shitty gear guy one uppin

 

[Neiteio]

Wow, we didn't even have to wait for the sequel for them to add dual-wielding!

 

[Dr. Buni]

They fixed Magneton's uninspired design in Gen IV making it evolve into a bad ass UFO, so hopefully Doublade has an evolution than unifies both swords, turning into something cool, like... something cool that isn't two swords put together.

Oh but of course. Can't have dugtrio, dotrio, magneton, or the shitty gear guy one uppin

The "shitty gear guy" is the best of all those you mentioned, by far.

 

[Atsumi]

Looks pretty cool unsheathed in the screenshot.

 

[Boss Doggie]

Don't forget immune from Fighting and Normal.

Also, you can tell right off the bat which people can't tell the themes a Pokemon has and always views design skin deep only

You probably don't even play Pokemon. Or even give a shit.

It's a known driveby poster. Ignore it.

 

[Tecl0n]

Aww i wanted it to go spear/javelin. Anyhow, i'm cool with this.

 

[Fey]

Except nobody ever went into battle thinking "I will use my legendary haunted cog to defeat my enemy". Swords are cool.

o no doubt. I actually want Honedge on my team. *O*

 

[RAWi]

This looks like the Magnemite/Klink of Gen VI tbh.

Excepto for this having swords... Dual wielding!

 

[Busaiku]

This is as bad as Magneton and Klinklang.

 

[MrCookiepants]

I like this line, but did they REALLY need to make an announcement out of it? Possibly the most uneventful reveal we could have gotten.

 

[Hybrid897]

I hope it has another evo that is three swords.

Then a mega Evolution with four blades.

 

[Sigmaah]

Lame but at least it's something. We almost there bros! Can't wait till the starter evos finally leak!

 

[Astral/H3X]

This blows Pokemon like Magneton out of the water, so haters can suck it.
I love it, honestly.

 

[Camwi]

Doublade, boss! Doublade!

 

[NMFried]

I dig it, but I dig most Pokemon. I'm aching for some more leaks though.

Give us the juice!

 

[shinobi602]

This is up there with some of the other worst Pokemon designs. Christ.

 

[Trey]

I was expecting great things from Honedge - slightly disappointed. The dual blades could at least be a different sword.

Hey. You leave Dodrio out of this.

If it didn't learn Tri-Beam, it would be arguably the most forgettable Pokemon from gen 1.

The Klink line is awesome, it starts out with a few cogs and ends up with a death ray.

 

[Divvy]

This is pretty great. Love it

 

[Wazzy]

Not bad. Was expecting something like this.

 

[Boss Doggie]

Such a shame that it gets compared to the likes of Dugtrio or Magneton. This one makes sense (its pre-evo already hints it), has a theme (coat of arms), and has a great motif (it carries over the pseudo face)... but sadly you have people who don't digest the design properly.

This is up there with some of the other worst Pokemon designs. Christ.

I'm sorry if the design doesn't "fit" to your perspective.

The last Pokemon game I played was red. Those Pokemon design were the best and memorable, after that I didn't care about it anymore.

That's how forgettable it is.
