Re: Rumour Discussion and Speculation

Except there is a certain Ice/Ghost Pokémon based on it. Just because it is from a mythological creature doesn't mean it is a Fairy-type. Besides, Mawile itself is deceptive.

It's more likely for Mawile to stay the same type than for it to be retyped to Fairy.

I said it was possible. Not definite. Froslass' typing fit's better because the creature is a Spirit in the snow and we have types to represent those two...properties(?). If, for whatever reason, they wanted to make another Yuki-onna, I would not rule out Fairy as a possibility for its typing.

I didn't say EVERY mythical creature based Pokemon would be re-typed or made as a Fairy-type. I was just saying it is possible.

The fact that a quality of Fairies can be a deceptive nature and Mawile is a Deceptive Pokemon, I was saying it is possible, not definite or any more likely than remaining pure Steel.

Re: Rumour Discussion and Speculation

Fairies can be deceptive. The problem is whether to make that a part of the definition for the Fairy-type. We don't know what makes a Fairy a Fairy. Regarding the other types, those would have clearer definitions than the Fairy-type.

Re: Rumour Discussion and Speculation

At this point fairy looks to be a combo of cute, graceful and mythological in concept depending on the mon. In mawiles case its a mix of cute and myth, and an evo can work out any rough patches in the retyping. And as said on the last page, if Azumarill can be a fairy, than Mawile is not a stretch, far from it actually.

Re: Rumour Discussion and Speculation

If you want to know what the justification is for mawile to gain the fairy type, then go to the fairy type thread, everyone there will be happy to explain what the fairy type so far seems to entail. I wrote a whole post about it. This thread however isn't for that so I think we should move on from the topic.

Re: Rumour Discussion and Speculation

So I've just been flicking through Serebii and had a look at the episode pictures for the latest anime and I noticed something a little strange...

It seems at one point that when the team open the chest containing the evolution stones that it also includes a new stone. I've double checked all of the existing evolution stones and I can't find anything that looks like it. Does anyone know if this is in fact a new stone, or am I imagining things? And if it is a new stone, could it in fact be how Eevee evolves into Sylveon?

Didn't know where else to post this so I thought rumour would be best.

Note: I don't actually think Eevee will evolve via a stone to Sylveon as each new eeveelution highlights an evolution method introduced in that gen.

EDIT: Nevermind, it's a moon stone. Brain is clearly functioning well today.

Not as far as I know - I was just looking at images of it so it's obviously hard to tell. I always thought that a moon stone was much plainer, basically just a grey stone like the one below without the yellow and purple streaks through it. You can also see the stone I'm talking about here, showing that it wasn't just some strange light reflecting off it.

Re: Rumour Discussion and Speculation

Well, it could either be a new stone, or just a made up stone. With all the badges we've seen, I wouldn't be shocked with a stone we don't recognize.

That is a moon stone. They showed it next to Nidoran and Nidoking when Cilan was explaining evolution. DP323.jpg

So it is. Good on them for changing the art on us/me.

Someone by the name of Hiro has been commenting on PJ.

That's not the Hiro, right?

I ctrl+F'd the page and there was no mention of any Hiro. Hugo, on other hand...

Re: Rumour Discussion and Speculation

Oh, I see it now. Hm... well if we are to assume he's telling the truth (I'm not particularly buying it, but...) then I'm slightly disappointed that no form of Secret Bases are returning. Meh, at least they should be back for RS remakes :D

He doesn't say anything too outlandish, though. Of course we'll have plenty of new moves and abilities, don't we always? All the other things, even if not true, are easy to believe and probably not too hard to guess.

EDIT: I definitely love the idea of getting to rebattle trainers (ala VS. Seeker type thing whenever you want) anytime with higher AI when you rebattle them :D That's fantastic.

Well, what I'm asking is, is that the real Hirobyte?
