Because we have enough Water-types as it is? 17% of Pokemon at the moment are Water-type. If a water creature can get two types that make sense and aren't Water, I'm fine with that.

You really like The Oatmeal, don't you? Shouldn't Clauncher suffice? Just change the colour and done.

Agreed. Also I want a corgi if we're going to have a Fairy type, fairies need their traditional mount.

James86134: Clauncher is a pistol shrimp. Entirely different beastie.

EDIT: an alternate name for cotton candy is fairy floss...which would explain Swirlix. CLEVER GAMEFREAK.

On the Bug thing: Ah okay, well I do hope they give us at least one nice bug type, at the very least.

I completely Agree with you on the Poison and Ice department. I feel like these are 2 of the most neglected types, especially when you look at how many Water and Normal Pokes there are. I am REALLY hoping they tone it down with the these two types this gen, so that other types can have Boom.



...Could you elaborate? I really dont understand what you are saying.

Sayeth the Wikipedia:

Ooooh, okay. Its a type of Dog. Ehhh.......Sure why not. But I dont know if I would want it as a "stand alone" Pokemon. I would be more open to the idea if it simply had a Pokemon Fairy that was riding it.

I'm warming up to these new 'mons quite a bit. They're getting creative in terms of inspiration for some of them. Not all (looking at you Pangoro), but some.

What do you guys think about this new tree pokemon?

Finally, they added a real pokemon tree. We already had Sudowoodo who is in fact a rock, and Torterra, but it's a dinosaur.
I remember seeing sunflowers in "The Spell of the Unowns", who weren't Sunfloras, which was quite weird because they are Johto Pokemon, like unowns.
But well, I guess this is nice, we have actual trees and a pokemon tree in the anime now.

I hope it will be grass/ghost.
They look like dead trees, and have spooky faces...
And we also already have Shifty as a dark/grass, so it would be nice to see a new typing.

I personally kinda like him.

I also do hope he is a Grass/Ghost, but I wouldn't be disappointed if he was Grass/Dark. I like the spooky feel to him, although some people say he looks like a "Digimon". My opinon on that: Not much you can do with a "spooky tree".

I hope people are ok with tree Pokemon. Otherwise it's time to remind you about Exeggutor and Sudowoodo.

Updated rankings (just the new Pokemon slotted in).

As my opinions change, simply inserting new Pokemon will result in inaccurate rankings, but I'm too lazy to start over as the number of Pokemon increase so this is probably the last time I'll post a list.

Ok where is the forum thread for the new MegaEvolutions because I need a proper place to faint after I finish cleaning myself.

When I saw this mouse and bunny pokemon: Nooooooo!!!!

But then I saw those Megapokemons...
WIE (Worst Idea Ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11!)

This completly ruined them, they now look horrible!!!!
But Ampharos is not that bad actually, it now look more of an actual sheep.

~Le me going to go cry in a corner in shame.

Mega-Pokemon: Ill keep this short as there is a seperate thread for them: Im perfectly okay with this.

Gogoat pre-evo- Its a baby goat. Not much else to say.

Pika-ripoff-chu- Its cute, but it does look like a rip off.

The bunny- I dont know WHY, but when I look at it I instantly see Bugs Bunny. Im more open to this Bunny then those past waskly wabbits.

I don't expect Nuzleaf and Shiftry to have a fan base as big as say Lucario or Garchomp, but blah is not the word I'd use to describe them. They can be decent in the right hands and are kind of cool looking IMO. So far we've gotten a Ghost/blank Pokemon from each of the 8 (9 counting Poison in Gen 1) special types before the physical/special split except for Grass, and Gen 6 has done a good job so far in providing new type combinations (not just new ones but ones people were likely anticipating and hoping for) so I would prefer Grass/Ghost.



Mewtwo's regular ability is Pressure and its DW ability is Unnerve. I shouldn't have to explain why Unnerve isn't a great ability. Pressure is like King's Rock or Quick Claw to me. It could be useful but it's not consistently useful. Running down your opponent's PP is great but usually opponents max out their Pokemon' moves' PP to be comfortable enough for dealing with Pokemon with this ability. And in Generation 6 maintains Generation 5's sleep mechanics, Insomnia could definitely be a lifesaver, especially if they buff sleep moves like Hypnosis with better accuracy, give more Pokemon Spore, or maybe even make a new move equivalent to Spore in terms of effect and accuracy. So I'm not complaining. If Mewtwo's Mega Form was stuck with Unnerve, then that would be a disappointment.

Torimian- Eh.....not really impressed to be honest.

Nyaonikusu- I like them, but not exactly love them. They do look different from most of the other Pokemon Feline's which I like.

Chigorasu- First off, Im Kinda Freaking out, CAUSE I PREDICTED THE ABILITY, AND ITS A TYRANNASAUR. Honestly, even without seeing its Evo, This is my Favorite Fossil Pokemon from ALL the generations. I really like the typing as well.

Amarusu- Its typing maaaaay make it not used very often, but its ability is quite interesting. My only question is..... Does his ability also Affect Ice type moves, or just Normal type moves that turn into Ice type moves?

The new Diplodicus thing is just so darn cute. I want one.

Aren't they? This is something along the lines of what I wanted to see when gender differences were first introduced. Not including the obvious ones, of course (looking' at you, nidoran, volbeat, miltank).

I'm loving the Pancham family tree so far and this gen has a surprisingly strong thread of Pokemon.
