6th Gen Hoopa Officially Revealed!

[mikey]

I'm really excited about Hoopa. I have loved it since first seeing it. It's got a pretty cool design. Can't wait to snag one! Hopefully soon.

 

[Vintasticvin]

Coming soon to a gamestop near you....

 

[DyingWillFlareon]

To anyone still asking I'm pretty sure Archdjinn is pronounced 'ark-jin'. It was driving me crazy that no one responded. :psy copy:


I'm getting pretty pumped now that Hoopa is officially released, but like everyone else, PULEEEEEASE be a wifi event. 3XD

 

[Pinkie-Dawn]

The fact that Hoopa's dex number is right after Diancie makes me want to ship those two due to their different facial expressions. I still need to know its base stats to see if it's overpowered or not.

 

[Gogoat Rocks!]

New Trailer for Hoopa:

 

[Leviathan]

I would get excited about this, but only after the method of distribution is announced. If it's a wi-fi event, yay, time to celebrate! If it's streetpass, the one-use code or some other method, then I'm simply going to look elsewhere whilst all the Hoopa hype calms down.

*slow, underwhelming applause*

...I really don't care about Legendaries anymore, especially since Gen III when they started event pokemon

Now they just make completing the National PokéDex next to impossible

Hoopa really needs to stop leaving her rings scattered throughout Hoenn though, Pokémon keep tripping through them


Good luck to those that use her, I'll stick to my common Pokémon and treat Legendaries like the forces of nature they are and leave them alone

Her? Hoopa seems more like a dude IMO... (Especially since Hoopa Unbound has a beard.)

Honestly, I haven't seen Hoopa Unbound
So. I'll probably headcanon them into two separate entities

Besides, female vikings and dwarves all magnificent flowing beards as well

 

[OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire]

Well Hoopa isn't a Viking or a dwarf but a Djinn (aka Genie).

@ Twilight Kun Uh, not sure if Mew had events in Gen I but I do know that Celebi had one in Gen II (think it was Jp only though...) so Gen III wasn't the start of event legends (it wasn't even that big in Gen III with only two exclusive to events, and with ORAS' regional dex in fact has only one exclusive to an event (Jirachi as one can get Deoxys in game, and one can also trade for the other Lati) like Gen I (Mew) and Gen II's (Celebi) and their remakes' regional dexes.

Unbound Hoopa seems a bit OP...one of it's weaknesses is bug but that is barely seen in higher tiers leaving Fairy as it's main weakness. Then comes that truly exclusive signature move it has...and it's stat boost...

Wonder what Volcanion would get...perhaps a Primal to fit the three major form changes in the series.

Doesn't Hoopa's dual typing give it a 4x weakness to Dark types, who are now becoming more common in the higher tiers thanks to few Fighting types and Knock Off's buff this gen?

Hoopa unbound is Psychic/Dark so it got rid of it's 4x weaknesses to Dark and Ghost only to gain Fairy as a weakness. I would say it's a fair trade.

So Scolipede, Scizor, Heracross, Volcarona, Pinsir, and now Mega Beedrill are hardly ever seen?

This thing would fall so hard to a Megahorn, X-Scissor, Bug Buzz, Adaptability-boosted U-Turn, or Pin Missile.

Even without his unbound form, Hoopa looks like a guy IMO. But, he does have that blush on him...

Those are a few. In recent times I've only seen Scizor, Heracross, Pinsir, and Mega Beedrill used though, not as much Volcarona as in Gen V.


Can Hoopa learn any fire moves?

 

[Mago Luis]

Can Hoopa learn any fire moves?

Only Sunny Day and Fire Punch according to Serebii.

 

[Twilight-kun]

You'd think a Pokémon based on a djinn would learn fire type moves

Ah well

 

[SnowpointQuincy]

Hoopa and his Signature attack "Hyperspace Hole" can be traded to XY
His Alternate form can also go to XY

However, Hoopa-Unbound's Signature attack "Hyperspace Furry" can't be traded to XY.

 

[OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire]

That's because XY lacks the coding for that move (HyperSpace Fury).

Yeah...one would...

 

[Volga]

His Alternate form can also go to XY

Where did you hear this?

In addition to what ORAS said above me, Hoopa Unbound itself is not in XY code either. I've tried trading it over myself and it said unable to trade or something like that, and when I tried trading Normal Hoopa, it traded just fine.
