(NOTE: First season has ended)

Story lines don't follow each other nor do game mechanics to the show. If this were the case Plasma would have been present despite the seemingly "banned" Rocket vs. Plasma episodes.

And I agree Suicune the artwork does add a bit of appeal to Genesect.

This pokemon is so strange...looks like a car or a transformer...whatever...

The only thing I personally don't like about genesect is it's typing. Bug/Steel types are far too common - would've preferred a bug/psychic or bug/dark type for some more variety. Apart from that, I'm quite exited about it's reveal.

Also, the sugomori art make it look even better.

I think Bug/Steel is perfectly suited for Genesect judging by it's appearance, also remember than it can hold specific drives to change its typing.

Haseyo July 13th, 2012 9:05 AM

I think it's just to change the type of his signature move, not his actual type. I don't think they'd pair it with Arceus 100%.

Xander Olivieri July 13th, 2012 1:11 PM

Ya the drives change the type of Techno Blast only, not Genesect's type.

blue July 13th, 2012 1:35 PM

Oh right, my mistake.. but with Genesect being Bug/Steel it only makes him have one weakness regardless of it being a x4.

MiTjA July 13th, 2012 3:03 PM

The Techno Blast type change thing is waaaay too lame.

They really should have done something better with those drives.

Like WTF, it can leanr Ice Beam, Thunderbolt, Flamethrower. All of them better than the respective Techno Blast, without having to give up the hold item slot.
And they cause status effects!
And it has just 5 PP?
*facepalm*

Its the one single thing that makes no sense in the whole fifth generation.

Which is why I was curious to see what kind of thing they would do to Genesect in BW2 (idk, something similar to the concept of formes..), that would fix this. But with Genesect now revealed, nothing is different than we already knew .-.

EDIT:
Before anyone goes "oh well at least the Water one is useful then?"
No. Not even that is.
Because a life-orb Water type Hidden Power is better. For real... LOL
Not to mention the other moves benefit from the item too...

Haseyo July 13th, 2012 3:17 PM

Well you'd either have to hack or get very lucky for its Hidden Power to come out Water type.

Slightly updated and clearer image(s) of Genesect:

A trailer featuring him was leaked basically just now, but I can't provide a link. Looks intriguing.

Bluerang1 July 14th, 2012 3:20 PM



Trailer taken from the theaters. Looks really cool.l

Grandpa Freeman July 14th, 2012 7:41 PM

Genesect is a legendary pokemon. personally i dont like legendary pokemon because I think that they are very cheap i think that genesect will go uber because it has really good typing and an amazin movepool also nothing counters it besides maybe heatran but there is hp ground for that

Ciax July 28th, 2012 4:31 AM

I am all for this, finally a bug legendary. About time. They may be rushing it a little bit but you can't really complain about being given free pokemon. Especially legendaries.

Melinda July 28th, 2012 3:55 PM

I'm excited to get Genesect. Even though it will just collect dust in my box, I'm going to pick it up and RNG it for the sake of RNG. x3

MisterCotton July 30th, 2012 8:26 AM

Good thing they revealed it, now the National Pokedex is complete until the 6th Generation.

Limanya July 30th, 2012 9:29 AM

Yay, it's finally revealed. I won't be getting it though. A bit too much like an Unovan Mewtwo to me.

okay i'm finished here now back to homestuck

Ammako August 5th, 2012 4:05 PM

I think it's funny.
People used to complain about events taking way too long to be released, but once they start being released in quick succession, people complain that they're being released "too fast."

Everyone just notices a change, everyrhing unusual. Then goes to complain on forums. yep. xD

pknight96 August 5th, 2012 5:43 PM

Genesect definetely isn't an uber. Everyone in the tier can rip it to pieces, especially Reshiram, Fire Arceus, Groudon, V-Create Rayquaza, Shadow Tag Chandelure, and Ho-oh. It'll be chillin' with Scizor and Forretress in OU.

No details on level or held item. Download will start Saturday for Black 2/White 2 owners (JP). Enjoy!


So we already have the Genesect Download event. Pokejungle listed the downloaded attacks, or at least what may be its downloaded attacks. Those of you with Japanese games are so lucky XD

Ammako August 9th, 2012 10:47 AM

I wouldn't say they're lucky, considering English games will most likely get the exact same one, just with a different OT/ID combination, a few months later.

Xander Olivieri August 9th, 2012 12:43 PM

The people with the Japanese games are lucky cause they'll be able to get 2 XD official Japanese ones and the English ones when they come out.

Orrun August 9th, 2012 12:43 PM

What do you mean, "lucky"?

I'm gonna trade for one!!

mwhahaha

vaporeon7 August 9th, 2012 1:27 PM

I'm happy Japan is getting the event now, it just means I'll be able to get one through trade and fully complete my White's Pokédex.
