    • Are there any pokemon you've obtained in x and y that the game made you love again or start to love?

    For me, I've fell in love all over again with Whimsicott and Typlosion. I honestly forgot how much I loved those Pokemon until I was lucky enough to receive some on wonder trade. I built them up to be 5 and 6 IV and even EV trained them. I also discovered a new love for Scolipede, especially shiny scolipede since I found one in the friend Safari. He is truely and awesome Pokemon and I missed out during my whole B&W experience. I also fell out of love with Axew, not that his sprite is bad or anything, but I used him throughout B&W and B&W2, I wanted to try out new pokemon and ended up not using him at all. I haven't even played with one in Pokemon Aime!

    I just want to hear some stories and see if anyone else had similar experiences.

    • I can honestly say that most of the National Pokédex is now on my list of loves. X&Y gave me the chance to try out a vast number of Pokémon I had never touched before, both new and old, and I learned just how amazing each one can be if you play them correctly. My list of favourites tends to change depending on what I'm currently using and because I seemed to swap Pokémon relatively often I tried dozens over the course of my adventure.

    Some of my new loves from the older Pokédexes include, but are not limited to: Aggron, Mawile & Flygon.

    Just the whole game in general, it's been a long time since i was able to start a brand new journey, especially sense BW2 felt like a cheep redo of BW.

    I personally wasn't such a huge fan of Mawile, but after X and Y had introduced a mega form, I started to like it. I've used Mega Mawile in few of my battles before, and was able to perform quite smoothly. Its Defense was extremely high, which made it a nice physical wall. Its Attack stat was pretty high as well, and after a boost with Swords Dance, it'd become almost impossible to stop. Only thing it lacks is Speed, but… oh well. Besides that, I didn't really like Aggron either. Now, I do. d:

    The new Fairy-type Pokemon have me completely enraptured. Klefki, in particular, is easily one of my favorite Pokemon of them all now. That little fella is a beast at Super Training.

    • Well.. I think umbreon would be part of that. I had an umbreon on soulsilver which was quite strong (was stronger in previous era's :p ) but this one was beyond strong (good nature, IV's and now also EV's) and it was one of the pokemon i shared my whole x and y adventure with so i feel closer to it then ever now

    I agree with you about Typlosion! He used to be one of my favorites, but I sort of forgot about him. I'm trying to get one with good IV's right now myself.

    • Typhy has been my favorite starter ever since I got my hands on Gold version. Now that Typhlosion is back in my life, I've fallen in love with him even more xD Especially Raichu who is my #1 favorite <33

    • Mawile after seeing it in the Amie I just loved it, I never really gave it much thought in previous gens, but something about it this time just won me over. Also Floette, something I thought I'd hate , is now one of my favorite pokemon. Raichu too, I had never used one in 15 years of playing pokemon until gen 6.

    I actually was a fan of all of gen 6 pkmn, which surprised me a little. Charizard got a little more love from me this gen that it hasn't had in forever.

    I had the same story as well, I never liked Charizard due to being "overrated" but when I gave him a shot on my X team he dominated a lot with his Charizard X Mega Evolution. I was glad I ended up using X as my main version after all.

    Also, I tried out Clawitzer briefly and I once had mixed feelings toward the little blue shrimp with the gigantic claw but as I found out in battle, it hits pretty damn hard. His Water Pulse attack sure is painful thanks to Mega Launcher.

    Yea same here. I still haven't raised a clawitzer because I wanted to wait til I could Iv breed and all that jazz because mega launcher is a pretty sweet ability and I wanted to put use to it. I was a bigger fan of dragalge from the look to the typing ( I've been wanting a dragon poison type for so long, why did goodra not get this type?? Of course the popular and common earthquake would shred through goodras defense )
    I also really want to raise a charizard on my y version because I wanna see how a drought team would work with none tails and charizard y but preoccupied with x right now.
    I was also interested in venusaur but when I picked bulba as my starter from sycamore on y I got stiffed bad on the nature and didn't wanna soft reset so I said screw it and forgot about it. Still thick fat is amazing on venusaur.

    • Still love my Sandslash :)

    They really gave Sandshrew/Sandslash an upgrade with this edition. They finally learn the STAB moves they always should have!

    I also don't mind seeing Luvdisc now, since it became my very first shiny due to chain-fishing.

    EDIT: I was even inspired to change my avatar to include a combo of both (a day or two ago I believe).

    Most of the pokemon that have always been my favorites have only been amplified with the release of X&Y. But i would have to say if there's one that has made me fall in love with it all over again it would have to be Persian. Since the very first time i ever saw a Persian, i have always loved it. But as time moved away from the original games, i just sort of lost track of them. But ever since i saw one and found out it was a chore to get my hands on one, its only made me re-find my love for the cute little fur ball.

    • Only 4 I can think of at the top of my head - Minccino, Dewott, Luxray & Persian (got three as Oshawott, Shinx, & Meowth - made them evolve along the way - haven't evolved Minccino yet). Since I got them as trades yesterday (Shinx & Minccino a few days earlier though, Shinx via trade and Miccino via Friend Safari),

    I really love all the new animations they gave them, and all the "happy expressions, angered expressions, and sad expressions" they make in Amie. Also loved how they move in game.

    • I've re-fallen in love with a couple of my old favourites. Espeon and Houndoom to name a couple.
    Also I never really liked Murkrow before this gen but I think he's super adorable now. ♥
