Re: Revealed Gen VI Pokemon Discussion/Speculation Thread

This was pointed out on a post on Tumblr, that the two new squids are the "Rotation" and the "Reversal" Pokemon, and the evolution REALLY grew on me once I saw it upside down.

I like the dark/psychic combination. Even if it's a squid, we already have Tentacool/cruel that are squids with the Water/Poison typing, and Frillish/Jellicent with the Ghost/Water, I'm glad they went with something different for these guys.

Also, wow, I LOVE Goronda!! Big grumpy panda bear <3

If the Grass starter becomes Grass/Dark, I won't be able to use the squid because then I'll have two 4x weaknesses to bug and that's a bit more than what I want.

I love love love the new squid Pokémon Maika and Karamanero, they are overall very well designed and their type combo Dark/Psychic is very unique.

I REALLY LIKE THE NEW EVOLVED FORM OF PANCHAM AND IT LOOKS EPIIIIIIIIC, IT LOOKS REALLY GOOD.

And I was Right about them doing a Squid that I wanted and they look good I think.

Re: Revealed Gen VI Pokemon Discussion/Speculation Thread

I just thought of something. They said that some Pokemon like Pancham will evolve through a new method, right? What if it has something to do with Pokemon-Amie? You can now feed treats and such to them in that, right? So what if you feed Pancham a treat that would make it seem tough. Like with Poffins and PokeBlocks before it, maybe the "new method" is to make it happy by feeding it certain treats in Pokemon-Amie. Here's bit of an example I'm theorizing:

1) Level Up Pancham to, say... Level 25.
2) Feed it certain type(s) of treats in Pokemon-Amie until something happens, like if the evolution screen pops up.
3) Pancham evolves!

Now this just an off-hand guess, but since the Pokemon-Amie was introduced, it might be this "new method of Evolution" they're all talking about. Then again, it might not be. This is just a theory I've developed. But to me, it makes some sense. If they introduced such a feature that further personalizes your care and control over the Pokemon, then maybe it'll help evolve some of the more "unusual evolutions." But again, this is just a educated guess, but something to think about.

Re: Revealed Gen VI Pokemon Discussion/Speculation Thread

^ The rumors were right about Pancham evolving into Goronda, so I guess it really evolves by having a Dark-type Pokémon in the part. Sylveon, on other hand, might be an evolution with related to the Pokémon-Amie.

Re: Revealed Gen VI Pokemon Discussion/Speculation Thread

The first thing I though of when I looked at Shushup was:
"Is that a plague doctor?"
I realized that it was a flamingo when someone stated it in a comment or something.

Here's the evolution that I want:

P.S. I did not draw this. The original drawer is...

Re: Revealed Gen VI Pokemon Discussion/Speculation Thread

I would love that, but I'm expecting it to remain cutesy or whatever. Then again, all of the new fairy types we've been shown so far (bar Sylveon) are likely first stage, so who knows what they'll turn into. I definitely would like some darker fairies (Dark/Fairy typing?)

I don't think it will happen. I'm expecting something more like this:

That is amazing.

The thing with plague doctors is that their masks, or beaks, used to hold various scented items (some might say perfumes) combined with straw as it was believed that this would filter out the disease from the air. Shushup is the Perfume pokemon, and it has a very definite mask, not just a beak. I'd be very surprised if they didn't go down the plague doctor route combined with a flamingo, and I think that evolution you've found is brilliant. The only thing I would change would be to remove the lower part of the cloak to expose the Flamingo legs, but keep the wings drooping down the back, as if it were holding its hands at its tail. Dark/Fairy would be great.

Re: Revealed Gen VI Pokemon Discussion/Speculation Thread

I really like most of the New Pokemon conceptually and look forward to seeing them in the show and such, but I honestly can't say any have struck me as being ones that I'd necessarily use on a team. But that'll change once we see evolutions and such.

Is anyone else bothered by Inkay being Dark/Psychic? It works for Malimar, but...it just doesn't fit Inkay in any way, really. I can kinda see Psychic, but it's not Dark whatsoever. I think Inkay should've been pure-Psychic.

I personally don't really see Dark in either one of them, and I think it's a bit of an awkward type combo. Sort of off topic: Makes me wish even more that Gothitelle would've ended up as Dark/Psychic as many thought it would.

Hopefully the flamingo turns Fairy/Flying if so she'll probably end up going on my team unless I use Sylveon.

Re: Revealed Gen VI Pokemon Discussion/Speculation Thread

I'm still leaning towards using Sylveon if I use a pure Fairy type. I've thought about maybe using Gardevoir or one of the other retyped older Pokémon including ones we haven't seen yet. I like Sylveon and I'll probably still use it, but it's the only mon on my current list of considerations that isn't dual typed XD

I'll be getting both versions so I'll just use Sylveon in my Y version.

I didn't draw that. I got it from Google Images when I searched "pokemon shushup". It was one of the top 8.
You can all unlike my post now.

Re: Revealed Gen VI Pokemon Discussion/Speculation Thread

I love how everyone apparently immediately thought Plague Doctor or Flamingo and I just saw a small, cute, pink bird. :p I think that it's likely to turn into a Fairy/Flying, but after hearing all of this plague doctor business, I think it's just as possible. And because I'm a nerd when you all say Dark/Fairy I immediately think of a one of my favorite Yu-Gi-Oh! monsters. If they made a pokemon similar to Dark Valkyria, I'd give it a spot on my team in a heartbeat.

I'm not going to unlike your post just because you didn't draw it. I still love the design, which you posted, and agree with the other content in the post. Edited the original post so people don't get pissed about credit etc.

EDIT: Fairy/Ghost could work quite well for it if they go down the plague doctor route...

I'm definitely going to be disappointed if its evolution doesn't turn out similar to that design!
