Pokemon X and Y: Speculation

[Spriter]

Ahaha, if there is evidence to suggest that Fennekin's final evo Fire/Psychic, well...yeah, that wand suggests it.

[JSM]

Don't like Fennekin's evo too much. Froakie's evo is the worst of the lot. Chespin's is cool, however.

[RocketMember002]

Really disappointed Litleo doesn't become a fire/fairy manticore, I hate it when the fans make a better evo than they do. ;.;
The wand thing was unexpected! It's probably psychic, but Mismagius is witchy and a ghost.

[Richard and Blaziken]

I think I've found a decent way to get around fairy being immune to dragon:

Dragonite @ Leftovers
Multiscale
-> Outrage
-> Dragon Dance
-> Roost
-> Iron Tail

Works as normal, but I believe when a Pokémon immune to outrage switches in, it ends without causing confusion, an then Dragonite hit with a SE iron tail, with multiscale saving his arse if he misses.

It too early to say if that'd work, but I'm keeping it in mind...

You then lose to Steel types.

^Point, Richard.

Anyways, Chespin's evo looks ugly to me.

But steel isn't immune, only resistant. Besides, this set would be more 'your Marill shall not kill my prestigious dragon!'

Edit: bad example, Marill is neutral to steel... Replace it with some other suitable fairy type xD

Edit2: also, many steel types you could set up a dragon sance on, and even resisted, that can do some damage.

@Rocket- Mismagius was basically some sort of witch or some similar being but also look at Banette. It is basically a walking voodoo doll.

Back on topic, anyone else waiting for a Fire/Poison Pokemon? That match up makes sense as many Fire Pokedex entries mentions noxious fumes and some like Magmar and Houndoom learn Smog which is a Poison type attack. Double weakness to Ground attacks is sort of bad but with Levitate, the only weaknesses would be to Water, Rock, and Psychic Pokemon. Plus a Fire/Poison Pokemon can STILL take out a Steel type without any problems. I'm thinking something like a huge cloud of smog and flames.

Could definitely happen this Gen, given Fire's resistance to Fairy and Fairy's weakness to Poison we could be in for some nice Poison types, that's what I'm hoping for at least. Fairy slayers will be needed this Gen, if the leak is correct (Which at this point it has proven to absolutely be) then we have a new Poison move called Belch which consumes a berry to work, so I'm guessing there will definitely be some new Poison types. Poison has been one of my favorite types for a while now so I'm quite excited by this prospect.

[Captain Jigglypuff]

^I don't know how true this is but someone told me once that Koffing and Weezing were supposed to be Poison/Fire Pokemon but then they were made pure Poison due to the 4x weakness to Ground attacks. Seems unlikely to me as Gyrados was Water/Flying and had quadruple damage from Electric attacks.

Skarmory, Forretress and Ferrothorn would have no problem switching in on your Outrage and Roosting off damage or phazaing you out/ setting entry hazards and/or Pain Splitting back to full health/ Thunder Wave, Leech Seeding, or Gyro Balling you to death. It will depend on how heavily Fairy is used once the initial hype of a new type dies down a bit, but Dragons will still need a Fire move to deal with Steel types, which may mean giving up on Roost, or packing Magnezone much more often (which is double-handy, in that it trap-kills common Steel types, and has Flash Cannon for Fairies).

Jeez, Pyroar is good as is. Who cares about a Manticore, we need a dolphin mon.

Seriously, I'm gonna be disagreeing with a ton of people on this, but why the hate for Fennekin's Evo? I've heard some negative opinions like "what the heck is that in its tail? A knife? Ugh" and even "that looks like it has a skirt it better be more masculine in its Evo because I don't want a male one". Yes, you're all entitled to your own opinion, but I've heard a lot of people hating some 6th Gen mons, but not appreciating them. Don't take offense anyone, but I've heard a lot of negative things...

I love the T-Rex Pokemon, and the other one is good too (that typing is awesome). The cat is an interesting concept, so I'll wait and see for that. Torimian looks nice and has a cool feature too. Mewtwo X looks good enough too, and that typing is intriguing. Froakie's middle Evo looks brilliant, Fennekin's is pretty neat (bipedal fox with wand? Nice), Chespin has the strangest off the trio, but it'll be better in the final Evo.

[Captain Jigglypuff]

^I totally agree with you. The only new Pokemon I'm not fond of right now is Chespin's which looks too much like Pignite. The face seems creepy to me for some odd reason. I also LOVE Absol's Mega Evolution as well as Blaziken and the Kanter starters'! I have a cool idea for one for Banette where it grows in size, looks more sinister, and is Ghost/Dark. Mega Banette has an appearance of a voodoo doll with a stitched mouth instead of that zipper.

Pyroar's female form.

As awesome as customization on your trainer is, I hope there's outfits and hair options to style your trainer like past trainer players like May, Dawn, Lucas, etc....

[Captain Jigglypuff]

^I've always liked the girl trainer from BW's hair. I just preferred her over the boy when choosing your character's gender.
