6th Gen NEW Pokémon: Vivilion and Noivern!

Curious. said:
So far I've been pretty content with the sixth generation of Pokemon, but unfortunately GF have ruined their winning streak with Talonflame, Skrelp and perhaps Clauncher. I don't overly love all of the new Pokemon - with Helioptile being my favourite despite it being relatively older.

Noivern I quite like. There's a few things I dislike but for the most part, it's a pretty cool-looking Pokemon. Who knows, it might end up on my team!

Vivillon is an interesting Pokemon. I like it and yet at the same time I don't. What I do like about it though, the most, is its 'secret in its wings' concept. I've been looking quite closely at the pattern of the top half of its wings and to me, it looks like a section of a double helix. With the sequence of red and blue rectangles/squares representing the sugar(deoxyribose)-phosphate back bone of your typical RNA strand. Perhaps its involved in the storyline, considering the games are predicted to be based around genetics?

Just food for thought.

Your taste in Pokemon intrigues me. But that's your opinion so.

Personally I think Talonflame is beastly looking and definitely my favorite. I mean look. at it.

Spoiler:


I wasn't planning to get a Fletchling but I think it's new evo has impressed me enough to use it.

All the new Pokemon revealed so far are really impressive to me so far. Out of the ones revealed today,I love Talonflame the most. It's name's a bit odd, but then I'm reminded of less creative names we've had in the past like, Seel for example. It's literally a seal Pokemon named Seel. All they did was changed the "A" to and "E'. Not creative if you ask me.

Sklerp and Clauncher are interesting too. Clauncher's neat cause there's finally a shrimp Pokemon and it looks some what like a mantis shrimp to me but that could just be me. Lol Sklerp is like a combo of a sea horse and seaweed. Really good job on Gamefreak's behalf so far. Gen VI Pokemon seem to look much better than Gen V ones so far.

Hmmm, at first glance, I was kinda meh about this set. But now, I actually quite like their designs for the most part. I really like the pixel-like motif on Vivillon; it's really neat-looking (it also reminds me of Tippi from Super Paper Mario because Pixl).

Noivern seemed strange to me when I first saw a small picture. I thought the speaker things were its eyes until I took a closer look (kinda like seeing Masquerain for the first time through its sprite). Now, I think it has its charm. ^-^ I also thought about Noizoids based on its name and looks (from GameFreak's HarmoKnight).

Skrelp is interesting. It looks sickly, like a kelp in toxic waters. I like its mimicry, and I wonder if that can somehow come into play within game mechanics. I'm guessing it can learn Mimic, kind of like Sudowoodo.

Clauncher is probably my favorite of this set. It has its own kind of adorableness that appeals to me, haha! ^-^ My first thought was blue Venipede Zoidberg.

Talonflame has a rare type combo that seems to attract quite a few people into training a Fletchling. It's pretty cool, but I really don't like the name. :/ It's basically one of those names you see in fantasy stories that are literally two words next to each other. Maybe the "n" should be omitted? Well, what do I know; I'm pretty horrible with names myself. >_<
 
Wow, I saw this thread yesterday and it only had Noivern and Vivillon and I come back today and there are 3 more new ones. More work for me making Facebook pages of all these new ones. :P
 
Overall I like the new pokemon, although I think Noivern is my least favourite of the five new pokemon. The wing hands looked awkward on Reshiram and they still look awkward on Noivern. I'll grow to tolerate him though I'm sure.

My potential team is starting to take shape. I'm already considering Fennekin and Helioptile....and I like the look of Clauncher for my water type. (it could be Skrelp either depending on it's evo)
 
I'm starting to fear that Vivilion "secret wings" are just Spinda Spots. Each Vivilion will look unique. The big, colored winds would be a good canvas for such change.

However, it would be disappointing as a "secret".
 
Vivillon is super cute I'm sold! ♥_♥ The others... *waves hand dismissively*
 
Talonflame is just amazing, in my opinion. Sklerp is a poison type and I won't even catch it lol and Clauncher is such a bad little guy lol. GF did a good job with the new Pokemon
 
I have a feeling that Sklerp and Clauncher will be paired to eachother, meaning that in order to evolve them you need to trade them with one another similarly to Shelmet and Karrablast.
 
I'm very impressed with the new Pokemon designs so far, even with ugly-ass Sklerp o-o''.

Concerning Noivern, it's very cool that they made a dragon type bat Pokemon(leaf nosed bat to be exact). The genus needed it.
Also, the Wyvern reference takes the dragon type to a more morbid place, rather than taking the usual route of the classic depiction of a majestic and mighty dragon.

Vivilion is also really cool design-wise, but I think it's kind of unnecessary since Butterfree will always be a favorite, and there's also Venomoth in the color group.

Talonflame looks unsusually intense for an evolution of the normal/flying type that you(supposedly) encounter very early in the game. I LOVE IT.

So far it seems that the infamous tradition of slow gameplay in Pokemon games will be more bearable, now that we actually have so much awesome stuff to look up for.
I truely believe this game is a serious leap in the Pokemon handheld game series, one that we haven't witnessed since the transition from G/S/C to R/S/E.

I'm so stoked that I actually ordered a Pikachu Edition 3DSXL, just to sort of commemorate the great progress that this franchise has made with this game.

Just to be clear, i'm not going one hundred percent fanatic here.
There are still lots of unanswered demands from Nintendo concerning the Pokemon games in general. I'm just very grateful for this one treat they gave us :)
 
Love Talonflame!!

Though the name sounds like a 10 year old coined it. Talonflame was literally the name of a fakemon we made back when my friends and I were ten..
 
Oh wow this is probably the first time I'll be using the regional bird Pokemon! Talonflame looks bad-ass. Like Yveltal.
 
Noivern better be evolution of swoobat (even though i know it won't)
 
I literally gasped when I saw both Vivillon and Noivern. They are both EPIC!

Why? Because I love butterflies and pink is one of my favorite colors. Plus, its wings are gorgeous. As for Noivern, bats are one of my favorite animals and it just looks badass :D

Now I am even more excited for the new game ^^
 
I just hope that Clauncher will have a badass paralyzing move like real pistol shrimps:

 
Talonflame sounds like it came from an angsty 11 year old's fanfiction. Maybe this is all a clever ploy to get us to use the nicknaming system more?
 
These Pokemon are all looking cool, especially Noivern and Vivillon. Noivern is so badass, it's like a bat with speakers for ears, which does sorta remind me of Loudred back from 3rd Generation. But still I love how great the fanart of this thing is.

Vivillon is definitely my fave of the butterflies now, pink and with a super-cute face! I've never fangirled over a Bug-type so much since Yanmega in 4th Gen. Clauncher and Skrelp look pretty good too, and I like how Skrelp is based on one of my fave sea creatures, the weedy sea dragon. Clauncher also looks like a good potential Pokemon to use should I not pick Froakie (but I have to have that little frog lol) and I've never liked crustaceans a lot until now. Maybe it's cos it's a blue shrimp hahaha.

Talonflame's name is pretty lame though, that'd be something a little kid can easily come up with. But still good design nonetheless, especially the pattern of flames on its wings.
 
DAYUM! Whatch that video about Pistol Shrimp.

The PISTOL part is LITERAL. They Create IMPLOSIONS with their tiny claw. It is enough to stun their prey.

THAT IS PURE POKEMON!
