Re: Revealed Gen VI Pokemon Discussion/Speculation Thread

They'll probably have Fairies represent a mix of European (Xerneas), modern Western (Sylveon, Clefairy, if it's re-typed), and Japanese (Dunsparce!) views, maybe some angelic creatures too.

Just like Ghost and Dragon Pokemon take ideas from multiple views of those creatures.

The whole idea of faeries is like numbing. Anyways hopefully the introduction of a new type like this will bring about reviews of not only normal pokemon but also other flying/normal pokemon - thinking of Altaria (Pokémon) - Bulbapedia, the community-driven Pokémon encyclopedia evolutionary line.

I think the fairy type sounds fine. Clearly, some pokemon like Clefairy (who's type would probably be retconned to be Fairy) just aren't "Normal". Fairylike and healing powers aren't by any means "Normal". But they aren't quite most other types either. Given that we already have Dragon as a type (as Joshawott pointed out), what in the world is wrong with Fairy? I think it's probably one of the best ideas. It would also have pretty clear weaknesses and advantages due to stories and previous fictions. I don't understand why it would be strong against Ice, though. But I could easily see it maybe being weak to Poison and Steel maybe. And possibly strong against Dark, Ghost, and Dragon maybe. Overall, I believe that we will get a new type, and Fairy would be fine by me. I'm just a bit concerned that Ice is going to be even more of a punching bag.

As for the newly revealed mons, I really like them. Of the four new ones, my favorite is probably the Panda or Goat. I could see the panda evolving into either Fighting/Grass or Fighting/Dark. I think that the Electric lizard thing may lose its Normal typing in exchange for maybe Flying or Dragon upon evolving.

On more ice weakness < hopefully there is a type weaknesses/strength change in general.

Re: Revealed Gen VI Pokemon Discussion/Speculation Thread

Of the four revealed Pokemon, I'm most excited about Gogoat; Grass types are my favorite. I'll have some decisions to make though, since I always choose the Grass starter in my first playthrough. Depending on whether or not Chespin gets a secondary type, I may just put both of them in my party. I'm really curious to see what the ride function is all about. Is it an item that can be used on multiple Pokemon, or is it a unique feature? Hopefully the former.

I really like Yayakoma's color scheme; I hope he keeps it throughout his evolutions. Elikiteru is precious (those big eyes and floppy... ears/flaps?). The only one I'm not super-excited about is Yamchan, but that's just personal taste; I don't think there's anything wrong with him, just not my cup of tea.

I have no problems with any of the newly revealed Pokemon. None of them are particularly my favourite, however, I think they all look good, and I'm happy with them all. I'm excited to discover the others.

Re: Revealed Gen VI Pokemon Discussion/Speculation Thread

Unlike Luvdisc and Alomomola, I see no resemblance apart from the color scheme.

If anything, it's head looks more like Scraggy.

That may not be the only similarity it has to Scraggy. Considering the info we have on Elikiteru's use of solar energy to fuel its electric power and the fact that there is a desert area in Karos I think we may have another desert lizard on our hands. It would be very appropriate if the popular speculation that it will evolve into a frilled lizard is correct.

Re: Revealed Gen VI Pokemon Discussion/Speculation Thread

just some food for erikiteru thought.

already it's been mentioned that erimaki tokage is a frilled lizard in japanese. eri is collar, erimaki is collar-around, and tokage is lizard. now, erikiteru has eri, but he does not have an eri...yet. get what i mean? it looks at first to be a play on the word electric, but the other electric types that do this in japanese, like erebuu, erekiddo, and erekiburu, all stick with "ere" not "eri" since electric is electric and not erictric. so it's got to be a play on eri, collar, not electric.

next, its signature move, parabola charge, of course. a parabolic antenna looks like the collar of a frilled lizard.
Parabolic antenna - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

that is all old for the sake of getting all of this info together. this is the thing i've not seen mentioned -- already erikiteru is making people think it is quadrupedal, because it just barely is not. its front legs are actually off the ground in all three shots of it we have so far. it is slunk over so far it only seems to have all four feet on the ground, but it's bipedal. what sort of lizard shares this kind of weird posture?

so, now i just want to sit back and wait for cool fully frilled lizard evolutions to pour in. and as i was just lamenting days ago i'd never get an electric velociraptor, my dream pokemon, i can easily settle for an electric jurassic park dilophosarus (real ones probably did not have the frilled neck), which was my favourite dinosaur as a child. ya-hoo!!

GOD i hope it stays a frilled lizard and doesnt become a frilled saurian repile. xD but thank you for adding that dilophosauruses did not have [as there was no evidence to support it like frill rib bones, sockets, or fossilized impressions] frills. [my actual job was "dinosaur-expert" for a while so that really peeves me lol]

i really love dinosaur pokes. and i could so love this little yellow lizard... but only if he gains his frill and stays a lizard. :D

If it doesn't evolve into a frilled lizard I will eat my hat (and also cry because I really want one).

I could see the electric one have branch evolution. One Electric/Flying and the other Electric/ground.

Altaria, who's Dragon/Flying, btw, does not need retyping (least of all into Fairy) when you look at its origins.

That really fits, and yeah I could definitely see them ending off with a Dilophosaurus considering that the Jurassic Park version's more integrated in modern thinking then the real one the curse of paleontology, I feel for you TheBugChampion.

Do you have a hat? And then why is everyone so in to this frilled lizard thing and fairy type? Light type would be cooler.

Re: Revealed Gen VI Pokemon Discussion/Speculation Thread

I guess this is relevant here: another Coro Coro scan has confirmed that the regional dex is split up into Central Karos, Coastal Karos and Mountain Karos.

Obviously this will include an unknown amount of old Pokémon, but it'll make for a substantial regional Pokédex if nothing else.

Re: Revealed Gen VI Pokemon Discussion/Speculation Thread

Elikiteru is the Alomomola of Generation VI. It looks like Mawile (especially when standing on its hind legs), it has the same colour scheme as Mawile, but it's not related to Mawile.

Still, it's my favourite out of the new bunch (although Gogoat looks very fluffy).

Unlike Luvdisc and Alomomola, I see no resemblance apart from the color scheme.
The yellow, round heads, the long yet thin brown ears, the white limbs that extend into brown hands.

Re: Revealed Gen VI Pokemon Discussion/Speculation Thread

Still with Alomawhatever and Luvdisc, they were the same type, same colors, same shape, and they were both fish.

Here, there's nothing more than color and a couple of minor similarities.

....sadly, there's still people who think Elekithing will evolve into Mawile >_>

It would be nice for Altaria to loose dragon in favour of fairy. Since it does not look like a dragon for me. Obviously the pre-evolution I suggest that it can also be fairy/flying. Regardless it would be interesting to see a new type effect other than normal existing pokemon.

Re: Revealed Gen VI Pokemon Discussion/Speculation Thread

Quoting from Bulbapedia,

Altaria is likely based on Peng, Chinese legendary birds of enormous size, said to travel 3000 li in one flap of their mighty, cloud-like wings. They're often portrayed as having a dragon's head and whiskers.

And also this bit on its Japanese name origin,

Tyltalis may refer to Tyl—also known as Epsilon Draconis—a star in the constellation Draco, the Dragon.

No, Altaria is quite clearly a bird dragon, and a retyping into Fairy seems incredibly unlikely. In fact, some retypings for some Pokemon I find to be unlikely. If there are going to be any retypings, I can see them just adding onto a Pokemon's typing, like how Magnemite became Electric to Electric/Steel. If Clefairy is retyped for instance, it could just very well become Normal/Fairy, not just Fairy.
