I hate to admit this, but this release showed some okay new 'mons. Pyroar and the poodle thing are both decent and surprisingly not terrible, and Tyrunt is actually a good T-Rex. Meowstic is especially good, though.

Mega Garchomp, though, is just plain ugly. The rows of spikes down the front look really dumb, and it overall looks like a botched mismatch of various parts.

Oh, so the Apatosaurus WASN'T winking...still an awful design either way. I have rather set expectations for fossil Pokemon and I do not want a cute Sauropod. Tyrunt is fierce so he gets a pass...by being the best fossil by far.

Also good god as much as Gamefreak is killing with with the Pokemon design their character designs are AWFUL. On top of the exaggeration their built just seems unnatural. Why are they so skinny?

Maybe it's the art style, I actually feel the same way for the Pokemon official art too. Despite looking fine in-game (which is saying something considering how bad the models are...) the official art really makes them look pretty awful. I can't pin point on what, but maybe it's the bland and very lifeless art style.

The older art style is so much better

The characters features aren't as exaggerated as they are now and they aren't super skinny for whatever reason. On top of that, it's simple, but it still has it's own charms and distinctive personality. The older arts were much more colorful and alive.

I'm not understanding all the hate for Chespin's evolutions Quilladin. It's fat but more bulky its has some cool spikes for fingers and its rocking the green sweater look. I think its finally form will change people's mind

Diantha should be our third female champion. I hope she's a fairy expert...maybe she could have a MegaGardevoir or MegaMawile...

Quilladin (Grass) - 7.5



Braixen (Fire) - 8



Frogadier (Water) - 8.5



6th Fossil Pokemon:

Tyrunt (Rock/Dragon) - 9



Amaura (Rock/Ice) - 9



New Pokemon:

Meowstick (Psychic) - 7

Pyroar (Fire/Normal) - 8

I really like the looks of the Lady Pyroar; definitely going to be adding her to my team.
I like the looks of most of the other new ones as well.

A bit late to the party, but I'm still on the fence about Baby Doll Eyes; I think it should've kept its original name, IMO.

That being said, Tyrunt sounds cute for a baby T-Rex. Amaura also sounds kinda similar to its Japanese name as well.

I hope the T-rex evolution looks more dragonlike without losing it's dinosaur look.

I thought MegaMewtwo X was going to be partially a dark-type, since it looked kind of intimidating to me. I would've liked MegaGarchomp more if it didn't have the same type combination as its regular form. Ice-types were a huge threat to this Pokémon because of its combination, and they still are a threat. Also, the spikes on its body are a little bad-looking, in my opinion. Its design would have looked much better if it didn't have those spikes. d:

My favorite Pyroar has gotta be the female one. It looks much more elegant!

Yeah I do have to admit that Baby Doll Eyes is an odd name for the new move Furfrou learns. Still, I love the names of all the new fossils and also I was dead on right at predicting Meowstic since it was mentioned in those rumors. And there's eyes hidden in Meowstic's ears? Interesting.

The starter evos have some cool names as well, I love how they used a French word in Braixen's name. But Quilladin is an interesting one because it apparently comes from "Paladin" which could hint some warrior theme with the final evo stage in Chespin's line, and it's our first Q-name Pokemon to not be from 2nd Gen as well!

Not all of the new artwork is bad. Concept artwork is actually pretty beautiful imo.
Spoiler:






Personally I think it's just as good as the old style.

Personally I think the art is still good and it's clearer. Artist change their style over time and with the introduction of digital technology the style's gonna change even more and there's nothing wrong with digital art. Though I have to agree that the new designs are way too skinny, but I do like the characters myself. Just a personal preference though. Diantha has some cool hair imo.

As for the Pokemon themselves, I'm loving them more now looking at their in-game art. Quilladin looks better with game graphics. And that names goes along with the rumor of Chespin's final evo being knight like. I'm still loving Braixen and the fact that it use the branch for attacking actually makes me more sure Fennekin will be Fire/Psychic in it's final form and the witch theory more believable Now that we got a better look of Furfrou, I'm liking it more. And I'm loving the idea of being able to change it's appearance from grooming it. The combed ones look much more poodle like. My favorite is the blue one. And I love that Pyroar got a female form cause it makes since being real female lions look different than male lions. It's female form is just majestic! Both Meowstic's forms are cool looking imo.

Diantha has a very angel like apperance too me and really fits the part of a person who would own a fashion boutique/hair salon. Team Flare's scientists have cool design, they look like something out of a futuristic sci-fi movie with those glasses. I love it. I'm now just wondering how them trying to change the world and make it "beautiful" is gonna end up being a bad thing.

As for the fossil Pokemon, I think Tyrunt is much cooler than Amaura. Whenever we have to pick what fossil to get, I'll definitely be picking the Jaw Fossil.

I don't know which fossil to pick...I like them both.

Also Aurora beam in these games is even more beautiful than ever.

I love the new animation for Aurora Beam, it seems to have gotten better every new generation. But I think I love Amaura slightly better as far as the two fossils go, and Rock/Ice is one interesting type. It also looks so adorable too!

I just noticed that Mewtwo X is a part fighting type! That is freakin awesome. I really think Mewtwo Y should have been part Fairy. Oh well.

I agree with you Iceman...but I guess GF proably figured that would've made it too strong...

I'm still working on remembering the new chart for release. I hope I get it all figured out before the game comes out.

The more I see the all the new Pokemon, the more I like them. I'm really, really liking Furfrou, Meowstick, Frogadier & Quilladin a lot more than I originally did. So my starter choice may change! And the Apatasaurus fossil looks much better than the original images of it, whew.

Meowstick are not such a bad Pokémon. They're pretty cute, actually. Especially the male ones. The only thing that I don't about Meowstick is their inability to use their eyes to view things. Instead, they use their ears. If you ask me, that's pretty scary.

Some of my other favorite sixth-generation Pokémon are Gogoat, Fletchling, Spewpa, Vivillon, and Honedge.

Where did everyone hear that they cannot see out of their eyes?

Only thing I read about their ear eyes is that they are Psychic Organs that are so powerful that they keep their ears pressed shut unless they end up in danger and have to use their powers.

Quote:
The organs within Meowstic's ears possess a formidable psychic power, so it usually keeps them clamped shut. But when Meowstic is threatened, it will lift its ears and release this power.
This Pokémon tends not to show its emotions to others and remain expressionless, but it seems that some Trainers love the unsociable air it puts on.
Their eyes glow when they attack with psychic attacks based on what I have seen, but nothing indicated that they use the ear eyes to see. I think they see normally through the eyes on their faces.

Quote:
If you leave Furfrou's style untended for a few days, its fur will grow long and shaggy again, returning to its original look. Keep a regular grooming schedule to maintain Furfrou's style!
I have to manage my Pokemon's fur?! Nuuuu!

Also love how the official site says "Physical Attacks" while CoroCoro translation said Attacks that make Contact. Both are completely different mechanics. I dunno which would get more use, though I'm hoping its for moves that make Contact rather than "Physical Moves".

Looked it up....47 Physical Moves do not make contact....5 Special moves make contact. Physical would be better for the ability itself...but I'm conflicted cause then its a copy of my Fakemon Kandal's ability TTwTT

Do you guys think Espurr is real? Meowstick seems quite small already for a Pokémon with a pre-evolution...however cute kittens will be adorable <3

Oh oh oh oh oh!

Triple Battles were confirmed for Pokemon X and Y!

On Litleo and Pyroar's page on the main site, it says Pyroar can learn Echoed Voice. It specifically says that we should try Echoed Voice in Double or Triple battles!


My favorite battle style returns in this gen! I hope Rotation make a come back as well!
