Though personally I'd LOVE a Poison eeveelution. Poison types are awesome.

I definitely think that a Poison type evolution would be better then a Dragon type one. This is because I don't think a dragon type one would make sense. I mean, Eevee is a Fennec Fox right? For it to be dragon type, it would actually have to be some sort of Dragon, to make sense. Look at evolutions such as Vaporeon, they are still the same creature, but adapted for different environments. A Dragon, would not still be able to maintain that fox design for it to make sense. I hope I'm making sense.

Nope. Everyone was wrong.

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

BraveNewWorld September 25th, 2013 7:11 AM

Well, here it is...

That's a horrible name.

Guy September 25th, 2013 7:11 AM

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.

I can definitly see where you're coming from, a poison eeveelution would be a lot easier to portray than a clash of fox and dragon. But remember being dragon type doesn't necessarily mean it needs to BE a dragon. Just as being a Fairy type doesn't mean it needs wings and sparkles. They did a good job with Sylveon, so if they did do a dragon eeveelution I can see it just looking a hella badass with red and blue to portray the dragon side of it.

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...

Iceshadow3317 September 25th, 2013 7:14 AM

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.

toxictwinkie September 25th, 2013 7:14 AM

How would one pronounce 'Doublade'? Doo-Blade, DowBlade? O_O

SnowpointQuincy September 25th, 2013 7:14 AM

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.

Pokestick, good times. September 25th, 2013 7:15 AM

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.

Iceshadow3317 September 25th, 2013 7:16 AM

I think you say it like dowblade.

I like to preseve the sound of the root words so "double" + "Blade" = "Doub-Lade"? Doubl-Ade?

Pokestick, good times. September 25th, 2013 7:17 AM

Duh-blade feels like the natural way to go.

Double-ade wud b kool though.

DarkEmeraldRarity September 25th, 2013 7:17 AM

I love it! Its so awesome!

That's how I pronounce it too!

Jigglymilk September 25th, 2013 7:18 AM

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?

billyjoseph September 25th, 2013 7:20 AM

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...

Sceptile14 September 25th, 2013 7:20 AM

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

Ah right ^__^ Thankyou. Doublade is stange English for me XD

Pokestick, good times. September 25th, 2013 7:22 AM

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

I think it's a pretty poor argument to state that there can't be a dragon type Eeveelution because it would involve its evolution taking on a more draconic appearance. Altaria is a bird, is it not? And Kingdra a seahorse? And Flygon a dragonfly? I understand their logic behind making these three dragon types but it shows that Game Freak have been quite liberal with typing before. I think they could afford to stick a few scales on it and it'll still look draconic but feline/canine enough to still look like an Eevee evolution.

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

OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire September 25th, 2013 7:26 AM

Well I didn't expect a evolution of Honedge to be announced...it looks as plain as it's pre evolution sadly...

Livewire September 25th, 2013 7:26 AM

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.
