I checked on IGN, and they stated, "The Pokemon Company has revealed Pyroar, an evolution of Litleo in Pokemon X and Y..." It's like no, you guys did. or at least an employee representing them did. Either way, I am glad IGN is incompetent; now, if there could just be a few more "accidents".

Seriously though, white lions are brilliant.

Well that is probably a new trailer that GF has made and IGN has already gotten the video. We will probably be seeing a new trailer very very soon.

I am also disappointed that It is a Pyroar is a Fire/Normal just like I was disappointed to find out Luxray line was Electric, but I guess all black pokemon can't be dark type. I still wish it was Fire/Poison at least. I could careless if it was a Manticore, but I was right when I said the tail of Litleo was just hair. I am glad fire types are getting a lot more pokemon. They have always been pushed aside. I know we will have a good amount of water type, but I hope not many. There is already about 110 different water pokemon.

I'd say the Fire/Normal typing gives the lion some damn well impressive coverage, barring Rock types, in which I hope that thing learns superpower or something, lmao.
What I'm worried about is its defense, those Fighting types specially the ones who run Bulk Up sets are gonna be a problem. Also Intimidate would have been better than Rivalry, but I suppose they didn't want to imitate Arcanine.

I was in another forum where someone said something very interesting about Pyroar. Do you guys think there will be a difference in appearance with the Male and Female version given that Pyroar is a Lion?

I love Pyroar's official artwork, I wasn't really a fan of Litleo but after seeing Pyroar I will probably end up using it at some stage.

Please, GameFreak, give this thing Flare Blitz.
I can still maybe see it get a second evolution, as it does look like it could get a bit bigger, the mane could become even bigger and majestic (It is the royal Pokemon.) I wouldn't be disapointed if this was its final evolution, I think that it is one of the best designs yet, I just wish that we could have got a fire/posion type. Litleo's tail really got my hopes up.

Maybe it'll get a second evolution and that normal type will turn to poison type? I'd love for it to happen. I, honestly, am having a hard time seeing it happen at this point, but you can never know for sure. I'm happy with the design at least, looks great. Litleo's design was kinda meh, but this definitely makes up for it.

Why would a Lion be a poison type?

Give Pyroar a base attack and speed over 100 and it's good to go.

Hopefully it gets Flare Blitz (STAB) and Body Slam (STAB + Parahax).

It was this theory going around that because Litleo's tail resembled a scorpion tail that its evolution would be based on a Manticore. A Manticore is a mythical creature which is mainly a Lion with traits of other animals like a scorpion tail.

Well this was a big scoup to me, Im actually glad that steel is not resistant to dark and ghost. Im justing thinking that it's becomming more OP. I know during the tournaments, I would sometimes have a tough time with steel types because of the team I choice (For fun play not competitive).

I really do believe that mega evolution chart is a fake. Why give zangoose a mega form and not serviper? Werent those two pretty much together at all times and have history?

Also, I am in love with fennekins evolution! Im pretty sure his/her final form will be great. Im also assuming that froakie is on the verge too. I believe he shall be another oshawott am I right?? Wow, chespin kind of fell off the chair here. I was hoping for an epic evolution for him so that he could possibly wind up like Sceptile but ohwell i guess.

I also just heard of Mewtwo getting a second mega form as well. Just when I thought the Y version would grow on me, I feel as if I like the X version. I guess Im just digging the fact that psychic cant effectly hurt his secondary typing...however, he gains a flying weakness <.<

I understand, but you have to admit that with SR not going anywhere and the Normal typing providing a weakness to yet another popular type, Pyroar is not a pokemon thats gonna have an easy time switching in and even if defense isn't Pyroar's thing is still has to survive before it gets to do its good share of damage. For me its just too risky of a pokemon to use. Still I need to see its stats and complete movepool to make a fair judgment.

I didn't care for Litleo, but I rather like what it turns into. It's kinda like the child of Flareon and Luxray.

Well..... not really poison, but look at Scar from Lion King. When he took over the Pride-land. Him and the Hyenas poisoned the land and killed off everything. It is also fiction, anything can happen.

You asking why would a lion be a poison type is like asking how does a dog spit out fire or how a rodent produces electricity.

How can they get sued over a dinosaur that really exist ? You though Jurassic Park and Ice Age created the Spinosaurus ? The Spinosaurus was named in 1915 by Ernst Stromer.

Lol I think he was joking since his nickname is Spinosaurus.

It doesn't look like a scorpion tail to me but that makes sense. Forgot about Manticore.

You know I can get animals getting fire and electricity for some reason but not poison.

I always associated poison types with actual poisonous things, and it's been that way since gen 1.

Also Scar would be a Dark-type if you wanna go there. :P Hey, look at Mightyena, it's already been done!

I want to catch a Litleo and evolve it into Pyroar just so I can nickname it Simba.

This is exactly the evolution I was hoping Litleo would get. I also think the creative decision to fit in the Japanese kanji symbol for fire on its mane is pretty genius. If any of the Gen VI Pokémon have mega evolutions, I hope Pyroar gets one. I think they could even take this design another step further if they wanted to.

I don't think so. The official artwork may make it look like it could evolve, but looking at its in-game appearance really makes it seem like it is the final stage. I actually think it might be revealed that there's an intermediate stage between Litleo and Pyroar, but if there isn't, it wouldn't be too drastic of a change from the first stage to the second.

I didn't notice the fire kanji. Shame on me, that's like one of the four kanjis that I actually do know. :(

I actually think the reaction to Chespin's evolution is more so because of the angle from which its design is shown than because of the actual design itself.

Yeah, its bulky, but its based off of a horse chestnut pod; of course its gonna be a little rotund.

Anyway, I really have a feeling that the design will be much more accepted once its looked at from the front instead of from below. One of the people I saw complain pointed out its weird nose, but the nose is only drawn like that because of the angle we're seeing it from. If I tilted my face upwards and to the side, you'd probably think I had a weird-shaped nose, too.
