Dragon Type Pokemon of The Week
http://i.imgur.com/rg746px.jpg?1
Shelgon, the Endurance Pokémon. Its armored body makes moves bounce off however being that tough makes shelgon quite slow and sluggish. Within its rugged shell, its cells have begun changing. When it evolves the shell begins peeling off.

Possible Questions:

Have you ever used a Shelgon In-Game? If no why?

Does Shelgon seem to be the evolution of Bagon in your eyes and the prevolution of Salamence?

What do you think of Shelgon's design?

Other thoughts?

Shelgon

Have you ever used a Shelgon In-Game? If no why?

No, I haven't. Just never caught a Bagon in the first place so that I could evolve it into a Shelgon.

Does Shelgon seem to be the evolution of Bagon in your eyes and the prevolution of Salamence?

I actually feel like Shelgon should be the basic form, evolve into Bagon, who evolves into Salamence. It just seems like it should be that way to me since Shelgon is the slowest of the three.

What do you think of Shelgon's design?

It's nice. I like how it's a dark, black creature inside a white shell with four legs.

Other thoughts?

Nope, other than I first experienced the Hoenn region with OR/AS, so that's why I haven't obtained a Shelgon yet.

DraconianWing September 7th, 2015 9:21 AM

Have you ever used a Shelgon In-Game? If no why?
Yes. As you can tell from my avatar and sig, the Bagon line is the Dragon line I've used the most throughout the series. I every single playthrough of RSE, it has been a long-standing tradition of mine to immediately go to Meteor Falls after obtaining the 8th badge and hunting for a Bagon, so it would always go through a stage of being good ol' Shelgon before preparing to evolve into Salamence. Said Salamence would then go on to play a vital role in the run through Victory Road and the Pokemon League challenge.

Does Shelgon seem to be the evolution of Bagon in your eyes and the prevolution of Salamence?
Of course. The concept of Bagon's growth into Salamence is similar to the life cycle of butterflies; begin as a small, vulnerable caterpillar, and then go through the cocoon stage before sprouting wings and learning to fly. Shelgon represents that cocoon stage in the cycle before evolving into the "butterfly."

What do you think of Shelgon's design?
I like the idea behind it. It's basically an "armor" covering a soon-to-be azure dragon, patiently awaiting the time to evolve. Shelgon's design is a bit dull compared to Bagon and Salamence, but I think it was meant to be that way due to the amount of genetic changes it is undergoing.

Other thoughts?
My favorite Dragon Pokemon line. Enough said.

Embernight September 7th, 2015 4:04 PM

Have you ever used a Shelgon In-Game? If no why?
I did have one for awhile until it evolved.
Does Shelgon seem to be the evolution of Bagon in your eyes and the prevolution of Salamence?
I think he has a design unique to his own. I mean, if you never saw Shelgon before, and only saw its other stages, you probably wouldn't expect the middle stage to look like some kind of volleyball with four legs.
What do you think of Shelgon's design?
I like how Shelgon looks like a cocoon. It fits in well with Bagon's dream on being able to fly and it having to go through a metamorphosis to do so. I sometimes wonder if Shelgon knows that he's growing wings or if he is upset that it now seems that he will never be able to fly with his new bulky form. {XD}

Sun September 8th, 2015 3:25 AM

I've used a Shelgon in one of my Sapphire and Black 2 run, they both evolved from my Bagon! It does look like from its evolutionary relatives! Shelgon's going through a process called metamorphosis akin to the likes of Cascoon, Kakuna. After that stage it gains a pair of magnificent blood red wings! The design is rather simple yet cute, it reminded me of the mangosteen fruit's flesh! {XD} Among all Dragon-type psuedo-legends, so far the Bagon line is the only and first to have a metamorphosis process-stage, I actually like it and found it unique. I believe this Pokémon can be bulky, particularly with Eviolite attached.

Wicked3DS September 8th, 2015 5:34 PM

Have you ever used a Shelgon In-Game? If no why?

I've used Salamence, so I've had Shelgon :P

Does Shelgon seem to be the evolution of Bagon in your eyes and the prevolution of Salamence?

It is definitely different, but I see what they were going for and it's cool because of how unique it is.

What do you think of Shelgon's design?

It looks like a dragon in a cocoon, which I presume is what they were kind of going for, so I think it works.

Other thoughts?

I thought this was quite a clever way to get Bagon to Salamence without it just getting gradually bigger, so I have to say it's pretty cool.

Nah September 8th, 2015 5:39 PM

So wait Shelgon's supposed to be like a cocoon?

Well at least that's something, every time I'd look at it I'd be like what is this thing supposed to be

It's a mangosteen fruit! >:) But yeah, it's like Pupitar, but with legs. Which makes it a cocoon and not a cocoon-like at the same time.~

Dragon Type Pokemon of The Week
http://orig08.deviantart.net/b9f1/f/2008/197/e/1/dragonair__by_effier_sxy.png
Dragonair, The Dragon Pokémon, A mystical Pokémon that exudes a gentle aura. It is said to have the ability to change the weather by discharging energy from the crystals on its neck and tail. It is said to live in seas and lakes.


Possible Questions:

Have you ever used a Dragonair In-Game? If no why?

Would you say Dragonair is fitting for being the dragon pokemon or should it be the serpent pokemon?

What do you think of Dragonair's design?

Do you like its original design better or its shiny pink form?

Other thoughts?

Nice responses for last week by the way Shelgon has always been a mystery to me but i believe its kinda a move able cocoon perhaps? Made to change him while he can still battle? Ill admit its a very good idea on GFs part to make a bridge from such a small poke such as bagon to go to Salamence.

Embernight September 10th, 2015 3:37 PM

Have you ever used a Dragonair In-Game? If no why?
I have a Dragonair on my current team right now. Finally raised it to lv.100 the other day, so it's staying a Dragonair. :) I also used one back in Soul Silver as well.

Would you say Dragonair is fitting for being the dragon pokemon or should it be the serpent pokemon?
Dragonair's design does appear at first to be serpentine, but I think I read somewhere that the Dragonite evolution line was based on European dragons, many of which looked like snakes or worms before growing to their full size. So based on that, the dragon pokemon makes sense.

What do you think of Dragonair's design?
I've loved Dragonair's design ever since I first saw it on the anime almost a decade ago. I love its sleek and graceful design, the shiny blue orbs on its neck and tail, and the elegant feathery ears.

Do you like its original design better or its shiny pink form?
I think I like the original color better, due to the fact that Dragonair is found in lakes and streams.

Other thoughts?
One of my favorite things about Dragonair is how it can control the weather. My oldest memory of this pokemon was from (I think) Great Bowls of Fire when it was controlling the rainstorm. It was partly because of this ability that Dragonair became one of my favorite Pokemon at the time, alongside Ninetales and Vaporeon.

DraconianWing September 10th, 2015 4:41 PM

Have you ever used a Dragonair In-Game? If no why?
Yes. Dragonair/Dragonite is my alternative to the Salamence line when playing through the Kanto/Johto games. It's a lot slower compared to the latter, but makes up for it with more defensive bulk.

Would you say Dragonair is fitting for being the dragon pokemon or should it be the serpent pokemon?
I've never really put any thought into this until this question. Dragon Pokemon come in various different forms and structuring, so Dragonair to me was and will always be fitting for being referred to as one of the "Dragon Pokemon" species. A dragon is still a dragon, even without legs or wings.

What do you think of Dragonair's design?
It's a very nice shade of azure, which goes well with the white underbelly. The simplicity of the design is I think what makes it great; it's serpentine features are topped off with wing-like ears, which is pretty cool!

Do you like its original design better or its shiny pink form?
Original. It is simply a preference, so there isn't really anything I could explain with this answer; not saying that the shiny form looks bad though.

Other thoughts?
In my opinion, Dragonair aesthetically looks better than Dragonite. However I always prioritize stats over looks for some reason, so mine ends up evolving anyway :P

Sun September 10th, 2015 7:59 PM

Have you ever used a Dragonair In-Game? If no why?
I've used a Dragonair on my very first FireRed gameplay.

Would you say Dragonair is fitting for being the dragon pokemon or should it be the serpent pokemon?
Dragon comes in many forms, serpentine is one of those many forms. So it is actually fitting for both kinds.

What do you think of Dragonair's design?
It's simple and classic. The orbs around its body as well as the wings on its head are simply beautiful. In a sense, it's even better looking than its evolution.

Do you like its original design better or its shiny pink form?
Blue is perfect as it is; I'm glad the blue variant one is the 'normal' Dragonair.

Other thoughts?
Dragonair was one of those Pokémon that made me lost for words upon seeing it, as it looked so majestic when I first saw it in the Safari episode.

VillageofDragons September 10th, 2015 11:09 PM

Have you ever used a Dragonair In-Game? If no why?


Nope, never had a Dratini to begin with. XD...

Would you say Dragonair is fitting for being the dragon pokemon or should it be the serpent pokemon?



IMO it looks more like a serpent Pokemon than a Dragon. If you notice it, most of the dragon Pokemon that exist have arms and legs, while this Pokemon to me, looks like it would be better suited as a Water type or maybe even a Grass type

What do you think of Dragonair's design?

It's nice. I like how majestic and tall it looks. :)

Do you like its original design better or its shiny pink form?

I enjoy its Shiny form a lot better, but only because it's so distinct from the original.

Other thoughts?

Nope, other than how come we skipped Dratini and went straight for Dragonair?? I could understand Dragonite, but Dragonair sounds like it's out of nowhere.... lol

Wicked3DS September 11th, 2015 10:18 PM

Have you ever used a Dragonair In-Game? If no why?

I've used Dragonite, so I've had Dragonair long enough for it to evolve into that (so yes :P )

Would you say Dragonair is fitting for being the dragon pokemon or should it be the serpent pokemon?

A snake-like dragon isn't so Farfetch'd, so I think it fits.

What do you think of Dragonair's design?

Simple, yet elegant, and better than Dragonite's I think, so I like it.

Do you like its original design better or its shiny pink form?

I definitely have a soft spot for the pink one.

Other thoughts?

Dragonair is one of those few Pokémon that I like the design of the pre-evolution better than it's final form (not counting the Sinnoh evolutions such as Magnezone, Magmortar, etc.) and it's a lot more graceful too, so I overall like it quite a bit.

Username (Nickname?): KetsuekiR (Ketsu)
Favorite Dragon type/Dragon Pokemon: In order Garchomp, Altaria, M-Charizard X and to some but not great extent, Haxorus.
Reason for joining club: Dragon type Pokemon have always been classed as some of the most powerful Pokemon ever! Heck, all but two pseudo-legendaries are Dragon type! I've always admired dragons, even outside of Pokemon and so I naturally love the dragon type!
Answer to any one of the current topics: Your first Dragon Pokemon was …. and why? My first Dragon type was Altaria in my Ruby game. Ruby was the second Pokemon game I ever played and until Gen 3, the only dragon type available without trading was Dragonite and I didn't know that since back then, I was just realising that Pokemon isn't equal to Pikachu (>~<) so I skipped out. I ended up using an Altaria over Salamence because I found it to be cooler looking (oddly enough) with a sense of grace over brutality!

Thanks for reading, have an awesome day!

Zygarde Formes

What are your thoughts on the Zygarde forms? (Zygarde Core, Zygarde 10%, Zygarde 50%, Zygarde Perfect.) I honestly wasn't expecting Gamefreak to take the formes route with Zygarde. I seriously thought it was going to get a mega evolution, so I'm not really sure what I think.... I haven't read much into it either yet....

How do you think Zygarde will change its forms? I honestly have no idea how it will change its formes. As said before, I haven't read much into it, and haven't been keeping up with Serebii lately, so idk

What do you think each forms Total Base Stat will be? Will Zygarde Perfect have 780 like Mega Rayquaza and Mega Mewtwo? I think the stats will increase gradually over time through the formes until it has 800 base stat total for Perfect Zygarde, the new highest base stat in all of Pokemon

What role does Zygarde have? Do you think each form will have a separate role? Zygarde's role is to keep the ecosystem in check in Pokemon.... That being said, with the events Lysandre of Team Flare caused, I still believe that it will make an appearance with its formes in Pokemon Z, a new Pokemon main game... I don't think nor like the idea of the 6th generation being over just yet....

What are your thoughts on Zygarde cell and it not being a form of Zygarde? I honestly didn't know it wasn't a forme. I thought they all were... So I'm not sure....

DraconianWing September 18th, 2015 3:29 PM

What are your thoughts on the Zygarde forms? (Zygarde Core, Zygarde 10%, Zygarde 50%, Zygarde Perfect.)
I think the new Zygarde forms make Zygarde stand out from all the other legendaries. They seem to have gone and attempted to portray Zygarde as a "cluster" of smaller Pokemon that are controlled by a Core, giving a chance for some interesting lore. Zygarde perfect is the one that caught my attention the most; I imagine that it would have some gargantuan stats and ridiculous height and weight entries in the Pokedex.

How do you think Zygarde will change its forms?
Maybe through a fusion device like the DNA Splicer for the Tao Trio, but elevated to another level. The perfect form has patches of red on one wing/arm/whatever and blue on the other, which might imply a connection of some sort to Xerneas and Yveltal.

What do you think each forms Total Base Stat will be? Will Zygarde Perfect have 780 like Mega Rayquaza and Mega Mewtwo?
Core: 300-400
10%: around 500
50%: isn't this the "regular" Zygarde? 600
Perfect: 780. With a design that radical, I wouldn't be surprised if it does get the 780 BST

What role does Zygarde have? Do you think each form will have a separate role?
As the Order Pokemon, Zygarde's duty is to keep things in balance. It's Pokedex entry states that it unleashes its full power when an ecosystem is disrupted (come to think of it, could this be how it changes forms?). I think Core Zygarde and Cell Zygarde will be responsible for forming the physical structure of the Pokemon itself.

What are your thoughts on Zygarde cell and it not being a form of Zygarde?
Not really surprised, since it is known as the "cell". In real life, cells combine together to form an organism, and are not meant to be alternate forms by themselves. Zygarde cell might have a role that is similar to that, with the core acting as the "brain."

Sothis September 18th, 2015 10:55 PM

What are your thoughts on the Zygarde forms? (Zygarde Core, Zygarde 10%, Zygarde 50%, Zygarde Perfect.)
I like them seperately, but they're all really different that it's hard to believe they're the same pokemon? My fave is still Zygarde 50 but Zygarde 10 looks cool too!

How do you think Zygarde will change its forms?
I have this theory that Zygarde 50 becomes perfect when it absorbs Xerneas and Yvetal :>

What role does Zygarde have? Do you think each form will have a separate role?
Maybe a rayquaza like role? Like it'll come in to stop the other two from making a mess?

I don't know how to answer the others sorry ^^

Wicked3DS September 19th, 2015 12:09 PM

What are your thoughts on the Zygarde forms? (Zygarde Core, Zygarde 10%, Zygarde 50%, Zygarde Perfect.)

Very...odd, but may when we see them in action they'll be cool.

How do you think Zygarde will change its forms?

Probably some sort of gathering of cells I assume, not sure how to describe what I'm envisioning haha.

What do you think each forms Total Base Stat will be? Will Zygarde Perfect have 780 like Mega Rayquaza and Mega Mewtwo?

I think it will, it looks pretty terrifying and I think it would fit to have very high stats.

What role does Zygarde have? Do you think each form will have a separate role?

Each one seems to be using only enough cells to defeat its opponents, so I think they will be separate.

What are your thoughts on Zygarde cell and it not being a form of Zygarde?

It's just one cell, so it does need to combine with others to become something.

Zygarde, The Order Pokémon, When the Kalos region's ecosystem falls into disarray, it appears and reveals its secret power.


Possible Questions:

Do you think there is a connection between Zygarde and Team Flare? Why or Why not?

What would be the connection between Zygarde and Xerneas and Yveltal? Do they all keep balance in there own way? Do you think Zygarde keeps the other two under control?

Do you think Rayquaza and Zygarde are related in someway? Why?

Do you think the Anistar Sundial, Mega Evolutions and Zygarde are related? Why?

Next POTW may be late due to school being so busy sorry!

I keep wondering what exactly the connection is but I can't think of anything =/ They obviously are connected, I just don't know how.

Quote:

Do you think Rayquaza and Zygarde are related in someway? Why?
Not really. They just are both Dragon type and are sort of the order bringer of their trio is all it is really.

Quote:

Do you think the Anistar Sundial, Mega Evolutions and Zygarde are related? Why?
Probably. iirc you upgrade your Mega Ring to be able to find the other mega stones in Kalos by touching the Anistar Sundial, and then those stones only appear between 8PM and 9PM, and a sundial is an ancient method of time-telling. Then there's the fact that Xerneas and Yveltal's energy is used to power the ultimate weapon, with that energy being the origin of some of the mega stones, and Zygarde being a part of that trio. And with those things and Mega Evolution being a major part of Gen 6, I fidn it hard to believe that there isn't some sort of connection between the 3.
