I can grow to like this. Not what I was expecting though. :P

Well, here it is...
https://scontent-a-ord.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ash3/923390_409455612509722_1681189407_n.png That's a horrible name. |
I feel sorely underwhelmed, but mostly because Honedge was never really a Pokémon that grabbed my attention to begin with. I guess Doublade is alright though. I wasn't expecting Honedge to even have an evolution anyway.

Still as much as I want (REALLY REALLY WANT) a dragon eeveelution, I agree a poison eeveelution would look a lot more natural...wow how ironic is that, the poisoned creature being natural... |
Well, didn't see that coming at all. But I like it! I love Honedge from the start because I love swords. I thought Honedge would be a stand alone though
Still wish it was an Eeveelution or even Oorotto. |
How would one pronounce 'Doublade'? Doo-Blade, DowBlade? O_O
|
Doublade?? I intentionally avoiding pictures, so please only put them in spoilers.
So, literally, the only way for a sword to evovle is to become TWO swords! Called it! Never thought this Pokemon would evolve. |
In spite of the concept (hehehe two swords), and the awful name (it's talonflame all over), it looks surprisingly decent.
I feel like I shouldn't like it, but I do. |
I think you say it like dowblade.

I like to preseve the sound of the root words so "double" + "Blade" = "Doub-Lade"? Doubl-Ade? |
Duh-blade feels like the natural way to go.
Double-ade wud b kool though. |
I love it! Its so awesome!

Eh... It's ok. But I don't think anyone expected or even wanted an evo of Honedge. It's just not a very eye catching design. Doublade looks good with the pink, but the name has 0 creativity, and its essentially just two Honedges fused together. What's next, Triplowrd?
|
I love it! Honedge is already in my top 6, Doublade is just too sick! Imagine that sucker in 3D battles! Was really wanting a second Eeveelution though...
|
I really like this, but I don't know why. I really wanted a Honedge evolution, but always thought that it wasn't going to happen, but this has really surprised me. The name is nice and easy to roll of the tongue, your basically saying 'da blade'. It seems to have turned into not only two swords, but also a bit of a shield as well. It reminds me of this.
This might just end up being on my team.http://www.poemasconvoz.com/images/graphics/swordshield.gif |

The composition of its design sort of reminds me of Chandelure. In that way I like it.

It's not as if the Eeveelutions are consistent either. Flareon is based on the pomeranian dog breed while Vaporeon is a visual pun on the catfish (although personally it always reminded me of a sealion). Umbreon even shares some rabbit characteristics in with its bulky canine ones. As I said, it wouldn't be impossible for GF to take a few dragon-typical traits and apply them to make a dragon evolution for the line. ...of course, this is implying I want them to make a dragon type Eevee evolution. I dislike the Eevee line as a whole but I would be disappointed if they finished making them without having one for each type. I like Doublade already. <3 |
Well I didn't expect a evolution of Honedge to be announced...it looks as plain as it's pre evolution sadly...
|
That's....it? :/
I do actually kind of like the design, compared to Honedge, but damn, what a waste of an announcement. The ghostly suit of armor would have been a much better idea for Honedge in general. Blah. |

|
Hahahahaha, that's pretty funny. I can't stop laughing the more I think about it. Hehee.
So I'm guessing this is another Magnemite sort of deal where two of these things joined together. |
Well of all the things I expected, a Honedge evolution was not one of them. :1 Ah well, I think it looks pretty neat. Clever name.
Commence bawwing about how it just evolves into two swords : P |
Quote:
I wonder if there's going to be a third called Triedge/Triblade/ Trisword (this name looks like Kris sword which is a type of sword in real life...kind of short.). With a taller, longer blade in the middle and the other two crossing it...it'll look like of cool actually... |
Oh, you guys didn't expect it? Well, news flash you SHOULD of expected it. No matter what you say, you SHOULD expect it. Every generation has this kind of Pokémon, so it's not big of a deal to me.

For Flygon, some species of Dragonflys are commonly called Sand Dragons so its ground/dragon typing kind of makes sensehttp://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Flygon_(Pok%C3%A9mon)#Name_origin Altaria is something that I can not really defend for the change in typing, other then it is most likely based off of a Peng, which are Chinese Legendary birds, but this doesn't really defend it as it is not really a dragon. Although they are not originally dragons, they are at least somewhat similar, so they can most likely be excused. The eevelutions are the same as well. Foxes are canines so at least they are quite similar in that relation. I just don't see a Canine becoming dragon type :/ |

Wow a Honedge evo? This was something no-one was expecting, but I do remember when Honedge itself was first revealed and some were speculating its evo would be made of two swords. Guess they were right after all.
It's kinda reminding me of the Magnemite and Klink like already, Steel-type Pokemon that like multiply as they evolve. Doublade is a cool name, but it looks like two Honedges fused and with pink cloths instead of blue. |

I hope it has another evolution, as at the moment it does seem kind of incomplete. It's probably because I'm used to having three of a Pokemon in a design. If it does get an evolution, I hope that shield behind it becomes more visable, and the swords become bigger , and sharper. I don't really want three swords as that wouldn't really look right to me. The idea behind it seems to be the swords and shield icon, as I mentioned before. Three swords just wouldn't fit in with the theme they seem to be going with.
Another thing that I could see is the ghost becoming visable. It holds the two swords while the shield becomes a chest plate. I think that this would be even more awesome. |
The thing in the back of doubleblade seems to me weird.
I have a feeling its gonna evolve once again, this time it will be something human-shaped that will hold the swords. |
Don't know why they made a big deal about its announcement, but it is rather radical. Was hoping the evolution would show a ghost wielding it, but Doublade will probably look amazing in battle.

Quote:
You know a dual-wielding ghost sounds really cool, hopefully it happens. |
In before Dual Wielding (and Oven Logic)! :P
Quote:
...why is it pink? XD Mixed feelings to this. I knew about the announcement about 2 days prior, but I was anticipating that Oorooto would be officially revealed in English Pokemon media (and now we have yet another Pokemon that gets the English-reveal jump of Oorooto! That is just baffling. XD). Thankfully, "never-before-seen" Pokemon actually meant "never before seen" and not "never before seen in English media". It's interesting that the English media was able to do the reveal ahead of Corocoro magazine or the Japanese Pokemon website; I've hope they've updated as well, though, because we should really be pushing the "simultaneous worldwide reveal" and not reveals that are exclusive to one country/region... Anyway.. The name is...rather basic. 0_o I can't lambast it too much, as it at least it tries to be more punny and portmanteau-ish as opposed to the name of "Talonflame" (that one could count as a potential portmanteau of talon and inflame...although I feel that's stretching it a bit because I imagine most people, myself included, will simply read it as the utterly agonizingly simplistic "talon + flame" at first glance) I'm still thinking of a better alternative (as I don't like I'm in a good position to be complaining about Pokemon names much unless I can come up with a better alternative); the only ones I have are Twinives (twin + knives, also incorporating "win" because I can tell Honedge's evolution is likely going to pwn like crazy), Nittor"something" (ni, Japanese for "two/2", and "tor...", because it sounded cool and resembles the word tear, but I can't think of any good words beginning with "tor" at the moment). I don't see many good words for "two" and "double" in other languages, although there's doppel... Quote:

I can also see the Genwunners crying out about the laziness of the design (adding another "head/entity" of sorts, just like in Generation 5 with Klinklang and co.), only to see other fans use several "beloved" Generation 1 designs (Magneton, Dodrio, Dugtrio, etc. Yes, those employ 3 entities rather than two, but it's basic math that amounts to the same concept) as a counter-point... -_- Nevertheless, I like swords, so two swords, as Lloyd Irving delicately stated, is even better! ^^ Doublade is still a prime Pokemon in my eyes..rather underwhelming, yet retains the awesome edge that Honedge possesses. My main hope is that Doublade's shiny coloration utilizes red hilt-ribbons, because that pink just is not working for me like the blue did. :< EDIT: Still nicknaming my Doublade Hexcalibur. And Doublade had better learn the move Double-Edge or it's going to be very disappointing. XD Come to think of it, "Doubledge" would've been a nice name! |
Kind of underwhelming but I don't hate it.
That being said, the name is no where near as bad as Talonflame. Doublade sounds pretty natural, obviously Double and Blade combined. Talonflame is literally the two words that encompass it, side by side... That is why it's no good Edit: and No Guard will be interesting :D |
Quote:
Thus far, I only dislike two pokemon in Kalos, Honedge and Doubledge. So disappointed! |

However it is underwhelming...wish those swords weren't as short and looked cooler...maybe it's final evoltuion will be dual rapiers... |
Quote:
The point that I'm trying to make is that a Dragon-type Eevee evolution doesn't need to sprout wings and breath fire (or DragonBreath considering this is Pokémon) in order for it to have that type. There is a plethora of other things they could do to make it unique, interesting and clearly a Dragon-type without making it any less mammalian. |
Most Pokemon's names are a combination of two simple words. If you think Doublade's name is any less creative, you are imagining it

Doublade is the evolution of honedge. Serebii confirmed it.

According to serebiiforums, Doublade is the work of the devil...
One reason why I prefer pokecommunity. |
Quote:
Well it is a possessed sword so maybe in story it's the work of Giratina...(who is part Ghost!) xD |

Not sure exactly but they're talking about all seeing eyes and the illuminati. I stopped caring after a while. |

Quote:
Talking about the eyes Doublade is now no longer a Cyclops like Honedge as now it has two eyes making it a biclops. I hope it becomes a triclops for it's final evolution. Maybe it'll have access to some psychic moves (not that they'll help cover it's weaknesses but they'll be nice to have either way). |
I would've been fine if Honedge didn't evolve. It was a complete idea.
On the bright side, I can use his unevolved form in a play-through! Or even a NFE CHALLENGE (I disregareded him at first because I like to avoid OU/ Power House mons in playthroughs. And COME ON, he's a sword - it must be a strong pokemon.) |
Quote:
|
Yeah, it's striking me as something that probably won't be very useful competitively.
But since we don't know its stats or moveset, who knows? Especially if it gets a third evo. |
I believe it'll be pronounced Dub-blade as in Double Blade.
But yeah it's alright, the pink works a lot better than the blue for the hilt actually. |
Quote:
I do think the pink works better. The blue on the hilt of honedge to me looked like a wave of water... |
...
Well... This was so unexpected. I thought its evolution would be more different. I'm not really fond of it, but if it can evolve again and looks different, I might change my views about it. And yes, the name is terrible. |
Quote:
I didn't expect Honedge to get an evo, but I wasn't expecting it to be any other Pokemon really. I saw Orotto since it hadn't gotten an American release yet. Also...so now apparently all the old leaked Pokedexes are fake as I don't remember any of them saying that Honedge evolved. So we just killed more rumors thanks to Gamefreak and Facebook. |
Quote:
Yeah, not like many beleived them anyways but it does dispell them. |
Not a good evolution but I like it.
|
JUST LOOKED AT DOUBLADE OMG WAT EVEN IS THAT
I LAUHGINNNNNNNN |
the Honedge/doublade line is about as creative as the voltorb/electrode line
|
It sounds like Doughblade for some reason. I expected Honedge to evolve into something stupid like Magnemite, and thus I'm not disappointed.
|
Quote:
|
Honedge being the (so far) only 6th gen Pokémon I don't like - or rather completely not care for - I guess I can say I am rather disapointed.
Or once again - I simply couldn't care less. 3: |

Thank god they're most likely fakes. |
If they are going to still give Fennekin that branch as it's staff for it's last evolution, I am done with Pokemon (I am kidding xD). I demand a epicoolish staff with crystals and whatnots.

Looking at it again, the eye on the hilt kind of reminds me of Soul Edge. A far less menacing version of Soul Edge, but Soul Edge nonetheless.
Now I'm going to grab a Honedge/Doublade and run around the pokemon world screaming about shards of the evil sword and the infinite power that they've bestowed upon me. Or something. The only complaint I have is it's name. Honedge sounds much better than Doublade, so it's disappointing that it goes from good name to not so good name. I love the pink, though! |
So wait, is it pronounced Doughblade or DA BLADE?
|
Literally the first part of double and blade. DUH-blade
|
I've been pronouncing it as Do-blade myself. It sounds kind of French too.
Probably why I don't have as much issue with the name. Do-blade sounds so much nicer than duh-blade. |
Lol gunna have to wait till it airs on the anime I guess lol
|
Quote:

I'm not really a big fan of this. As everyone else said, it's two Honedges. I think it'd be cool if they used a bit of creativity for the evolution method (maybe get two Honedges to the same level? It wouldn't have one evolve, it'd just fuse the two and keep one Honedges' attacks and one's stats / nature, maybe.)
|
Quote:
|
Maybe the final evolution (it it has another) will be made up of two Doublade's like Metagross is two Metags fused (now Gen III did it right with Pokémon made up of the same kind as Metagross's line looks distinctive from one another and not like three magnets put together...)
|
Doublade is kinda meh. Doublets/triplets usually look uninteresting. However, if they were thinking of giving him an evolution, I believe that, instead of turning him into a bigger, sharper sword, this was probably the safest idea.
|
Doublade bwahahahaha. That is all. Seriously, multiplying up Pokemon evolutions is starting to get old. Would've been cool if they were sword and shield, with an interesting backstory like Slowpoke and Shellder.
|
I just woke up and saw this. Is it a sin to say I love it?! I'm just glad Honedge has an evo. I though Honedge was gonna be a stand alone pokemon which I tend to dislike.
|
Poor helioptile and flabebe
I don't really mind it because it looks sweet in battle and if it's the work of satan that's better than eating souls out and stuff, as for the child friendly, in pokemon B2/W2 Ghetsis literally tried to kill you. And something that relates to torimian and the King of kalos, maybe knights used those as weapons? xD As for slowpoke and shellder does that thing on the tail look like a shellder? And why does it move up to the head? |
Quote:
|
Welp, it looks like Honedge is going to be the Magnemite of Gen VI based on its evolution.
|
Well that was unexpected, not exactly the evolution I was thinking they'd reveal. Honestly was hoping for a Helioptle evo. Doublade is alright looking I guess, I was expecting something cooler for Honedge's evolution but this isn't too bad...I guess. Like Mageneton and Klinklang all over though, they just added another Honedge and extended it's design a bit.
Though a more of a positive note, I noticed one person on their Facebook page noted it looks like a coat of arms: Quote:
|
Was definetly hoping for Helioptile or Bunnelby evolution.
I don't think it's a bad design but.. it just doesn't interest me. I never liked Honedge to begin with (sorry guys!) but I will admit Doublade is better looking. Even so I can't find myself to care about this. |
