After seeing the official artwork of Pyroar, I am in love. Why is GameFreak doing it so hard? I don't want to have more than 1 Fire type on my team. Now I ended up with 4. Damn.. Pyroar is the best design revealed so far in my opinion.

Normal typing is stupid but it gets good STAB with max happiness return and giga impact, and for ghost types, I think it will be able to learn crunch.

I do have to say thought Gen 6 so far has been killing it with the designs. What a major improvement over gen 5. After I play the game and see most of the Pokemon I wouldn't be surprised if I'd end up saying, you know, this gen has the best designs by far.

EDIT: Guys Normal is a good type. It's immune to ghost (which will be more common now) and they only have one weakness. Plus, Normal is one of the best offensive types. (Fire + Normal will provide great coverage except against Rock which aren't common in higher level play.)

PYROAR! I LOVE IT! We can never have enough lion Pokemon. I wouldn't really care if the whole franchise became Lion-Mon. Normal is my favorite Type so I'm grateful for the double typing. I like his mane a lot, too. The first thing that popped into my mind was one of those royal Egyptian crowns:

Pyroar (Fire/Normal) looks pretty cool it has that royalty look to it not sure about ability if anyone knows.
If I would give it a rating of 1-10 then it would be a:
9.0

Pyroar may be good if you don't do competitive. But just look at him! He looks more lion-like than entei!

I'm hoping Pyroar has access to powerful grass moves to take care of Rock, Ground, and Water types, and powerful psychic moves to take down fighting types...oh and that it'll be fast and Sp. Atk oriented.

I agree that they should probably have focused more on the less-powerful Pokemon for mega-evolutions, but really... we don't know how many in total there are (could very well have added more megas to less powerful ones than OU and Ubers) and we don't even know if it JUST gives them stat increases. I imagine some, if not all, of these megas will have something increased and something decreased in terms of stats.

I'm still cool and up for these new mega formes.

If you get the game after December 25 or 27th (depending on where you live) as Pokebank isn't available until then, and it's evolutionary line proably won't be available until either late in game or post game (if at all).

My soul died a little when I saw Chespin's and Fennekin's evolutions. My first thoughts were that Chespin's evo is a ridiculous ball-thing, and lost its cuteness completely, while Fennekin's is bizarre and too feminine-looking. After sleeping and letting it sink in, I still hate Chespin's, but Fennekin's is strangely growing on me. I do sincerely wish it stayed quadruped though. Froakie's is the only evo I liked from the start. It looks like a frog/gecko (kind of like Treecko) hybrid to me. I will wait to see the starters' final evos before choosing mine - it might be the first time I prefer the water starter!

Mega Mewtwo X is hideous, what a shame that it's an X-exclusive, since that's the version I'm getting. I 100% prefer Mega Mewtwo Y. I also hate both mega form's feet - X's looks like frog feet, and Y's looks like eggplants or sausages. Bleh.

I really like Nyaonikusu, except for the way the fur swirls in front of the mouth on the white one. :/ I REALLY hope the english name isn't Meowstick, I think that's an awful name (and we already have Meowth and Glameow, can't they come up with something a little more creative? Though I guess I shouldn't be one to talk, as I have a very hard time coming up with names for things...)

Amarusu reminds me of My Little Pony. :P It is cute though. Mega Garchomp is scary (for a Pokemon). Everyone seems to really like Pyroar, but I don't. I don't like Litleo either though, so no loss there.

I wonder what the starter's evolutions names will be...maybe Wilfox (wild fire and fox, or even better Will-o-wisp and Fox) for Fennekin?

I felt the same way about Fennekin's evolution being too feminine and wishing it was a quadruped. Because Fennekin learns Glow Punch, I was ready for it to become bipedal. And although I personally like to think of Fennekin as a feminine pokemon, unless if the gender ratio reflects it as mostly female, I think this is one of those rare cases where there should be gender differences for a starter. (For instance, the fur could point down so it doesn't resemble a dress.)

Froakie's evo is the one I liked from the start, too. I want to see all their final evolutions.

What's so bad about having a "too feminine" fire starter? the most recent starters seemed "too masculine" but I didn't hear any complaints, double standard much? Personally I'm glad we got a more feminine looking fire starter as it breaks the mold.

I liked how they changed things up this gen, not only the first non-reptilian Grass starter but finally a feminine-looking Fire starter. Froakie's line still sorta continues the semi-aquatic animals for the Water-type though. In fact Kalos is the first region with starters that aren't reptilian too.

But still, feminine starters can never beat the Ben Franklin frog.

Yeah, each generation until this one had at least one reptile. Gen 1 had 3...Charizard though was the last (and only) fire reptile (after we had mammal, Bird, mammal,mammal, and again mammal...well mammals are warm blooded...)
Feraligatr was the last water reptile (after we had fish?, bird, mammal, and now amphibian. Water is the most diverse!). And Serperior was the most recent in repitilian grass starters...so Chespin's a good mold breaker too! Hopefully it's final evolution won't be a reptile/dinosaur like some hope...

I think a feminine starter is fine... except that 75 percent of them are male. They could change the ratio, but we all know they'll keep it a high male ratio so they can be rare.

(by the way, I think Superior and Oshawott are pretty feminine)

Edit: crazy idea that I can guarantee won't happen: final evolutions of the starters looking different. Or just be completely different pokemon.

Yeah, really. When are they gonna update us with the English names of the evolutions?

Um, how so? I don't think Serperior really looks that feminine and Oshawott is not at all. Its just cutsie. That's not oddly feminine. Heck, its not even that different than any other starter that's come before it.

Thus far Meganium has been our most feminine looking starter. Serperior looks androgynous.

They should update the site in two days (the 14th) so it'll be awile. Thats gives us today and tomorrow to speculate. Froakie's evo may be Groakie...(it looks a bit like a Geeko plus it's a pun on the word croak).

Groakie would sound too similar to Froakie, but I'm hoping the English names for the newly-revealed Pokemon from CoroCoro are revealed this weekend or something because going by past reveals relating to X and Y, the localizations were released not long after the Japanese. I'm hoping they all get good names, plus there's that bet that Nyaonikusu might be called Meowstick or something.

Am I the only person who thinks the long-necked (diplodocus) pokemon looks really, really amateur?

It just doesn't look like a Pokemon at all to me, it looks like a poorly done fan-mon.

Chespin's evolution's name could be Nutike (Nut and Spike).

The diplodocus does look like old fan art I've seen...but I still like it. It is very plain I admit.

It's not that I have a problem with a Pokemon looking masculine or feminine in and of itself, it's just that I think it makes it awkward when there are no visible differences between genders, like the Machop line or the Gothita line. Then again, it's not like I'm against men looking feminine or women looking masculine irl, so maybe it's good that they do this sort of thing, to beat down on discrimination against cross-dressers and the like. But it really does puzzle me why they'll take the time to give gender differences to Pokemon like Nyaonikusu, who to me looks gender-neutral with both designs, but then leave Pokemon like Lopunny with a single design that gives off a more feminine vibe. I'll stop rambling now. =P
