6th Gen X/Y General Chat and Speculation

Seeing as it said that there's over 700 new Pokémon in Pokémon X and Pokémon Y... means it's around 50 new Pokémon. Well that's OK, I don't mind not having several more Pokémon, but I guess it's to save space on the ROMs themselves, because 3D models do take up more space than normal images.

And yeah, I do think 800 is a little bit too large, I was more expecting it to be around 150 new Pokémon, but it's 50 and I'm happy with it. xD

They did say over 700 Pokémon so there still could be 52-150 new Pokémon really.

Maybe, the more information is just outlining some major questions that have been asked, as I am sure they have been flooded the past day! XD​

Maybe it'll be the next Pikachu clone.

If there's over 700 then it's going to take a loooong time to fill up the Pokedex. If B2W2 had 300 for the Pokedex, I wonder how many these will have.

I hope it has a lot, I like a challenge in finishing the PokéDex.

Is it just me, or are the starters reminiscent of fake Pokemon?

For sure on the long time bit I could barely fill it up with in the Gen IV. I do like filling up the National Dex so I hope it's around the 300 number hopefully a bit more!

Not really. They seem really legit compared to... the third evolutions of Unova starters. XD;

Embroar didn't seem legit? =O

But yeah... new pokemon generally looks like Fakemon, at least too me for the first... hour. :3 I dunno, for me, whenever there's new pokemon, it does generally take me a while to get used to em'~ But, I think I'm starting to warm up to the starters!

Fennekin could resemble Vulpix in some ways but I still don't associate them together. The starters may be similar species or have similar appearances to previous but they're not duplicates, I think the look good.

I feel that any new Pokémon will feel like a fakemon. But I'm sure that will disappear quickly.

I think they might look like Fakemon because people have been doing tons and tons of Fakemons. Eventually some of the official artwork is going to look similar to the artwork of those doing Fakemon. I don't look at Fakemon, which means none of them looked like Fakemon to me.

This is the most times I've ever said Fakemon.

It's always the case with new Pokemon, especially for starters. You saw how people took to Oshawott and now look how much love it has got.

I think its appearance in the anime helped a lot with that.

idk I think a whole lot of people like all of them immediately, well, at least I do. :x

Some people never do at first. Probably because some will probably think they're ugly. Like so:



Again, yeah, I'm starting to like them too; their designs pretty much appeal to me in a semi-simple way~

I second that Nica, I've really come to like all of them straight away, unlike in Black and White.

At first, I absolutely adored all of the starters, since I was too "wowing" about the gameplay, I really didn't think of which one was my favorite until I payed more attention to Fennekin, and then I thought "aww, Fennekin is so adorable". xD

But even though I absolutely adore Fennekin the most, I still think the other two are cute. :)
