Mimic you

I'm pretty sure it's supposed to be Mimichu, as in "mimic pikachu," though I hope it gets localized as Pikaboo.

Spatula City: Oct 21, 2010; LET ME EXPLAIN TO YOU WHY YOU ARE WRONG ABOUT EVERYTHING

how is every 'mon released The Best? like, drat, there have always been a few early released that I was totally meh about, but everything's at least solid so far. wanna hug that red panda. I think I could take it, would be worth the risk. :3:

and I love the concept of the mimic Pikachu thing. It's like OH PAY NO ATTENTION TO ME I AM JUST AN ADORABLE LITTLE PIKACHU. GHOST? WHY WOULD YOU THINK THAT?

The disguise ghost is good and the panda doesn't deserve the hate it initially got here. Gen 4 has good mon designs but a bad region. I have absolutely no feelings towards Yungoos. I think that covers all the latest discussion.

We're still 4 months away from release and they've been revealing Pokemon at a pretty ridiculous pace - we already know about 21 Pokemon (and 19 evolutionary lines). Seems like a pretty safe bet that Sun & Moon will have more new Pokemon than X & Y.

I don't know, XY had a lot of reveals. Part of the reason people were so upset by the small Pokedex (other than it being small) is that they revealed most of the new Pokemon before the game was released.

We also haven't seen any Mega-reveals yet and they made a good chunk of those for OR/AS. If they want to stretch out the reveals they could pepper those in.

get ready for MEGA-LEDIAN :black101:

What other old pokemon have they confirmed in-game anyways?

Normal/Fighting sounds lovely offensively because Normal doesn't really add much (I guess STAB Return)? Although depending on its defensive stats, being Fighting neutral and Ghost immune

Fighting doesn't resist itself, so it Normal/Fighting is weak to Fighting.

Well, they kind of have to throw in a super form for Greninja after all the hype they're giving the Ash-Greninja change, so here's hoping that we get more starters in on the act this time. Mega Ledian would be nice if they could give it the same glass cannon set Mega Beedrill got. It really does desperately need it.

Zuzie: Jun 30, 2005; I got this for a Ratatta on GTS.

It would be neat if Mega Ledian was a Bug/Psychic Special attacking version of Mega Beedrill. I don't know what ability would be best though... Its movepool needs to be far better though.

As for the new Pok�mon... The bear's has a silly design, but the idea of a cuddly Pok�mon being so ridiculously strong that there are warnings about it is amusing.

Mimikkyu is amazing though. It's jealous of Pikachu's fame so it wants that kind of love as well by dressing up as one. It would be even cooler if it dressed up as other popular Pok�mon as well.

Waaaaaaaaait a minute. Theres a Mega Beedrill? I havnt played since X came out (for some reason I couldnt get into that one and kind of took a Pokemon break) and missed something cool happening to one of my favorites?

Yeah, they added a ton of new Megas in ORAS

Sableye, Steelix, Sharpedo, Metagross, Pidgeot, Salamence, Glalie? Audino? Etc.

Lot of cool ones. Some really off the wall ones. Also the broken as gently caress Primal Reversions for Kyorge/Groudon and the only mega that doesn't need an item (Ryaquaza)

A new Japanese trailer was dropped:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TyIkvadJU1Q

It has a bunch of new footage including lots of ridable Pok�mon, that bear that was just released, and even some functions of that bracelet the trainers are wearing.

EDIT: You can groom your Pok�mon and your character can do different poses!

Neat, the bracelets definitely allow you to let your Pokemon do certain "Burst" moves in battle, so far we've got one for each of the basic element types. I imagine Rockruff will also be able to use them as well.

Oh man, this looks great, that's like half a dozen pokemon being ridden right there :allears:

can't wait to get this gamexplained to me

while the pokemon hype is going, remember that the new movie hits japan this saturday, it's how we found out about the evil tree 'mon so we might get a new mon reveal there.

# ? Jul 13, 2016 02:31

Crosspeice: Aug 9, 2013

Ooh, even cooler. The pose you make to activate the Burst mode depends on the type of the attack. We also get the 3D models of Red Panda and Pikaboo.

Also being able to ride Tauros, Sharpedo and Lapras is dope.

And there's a Burst for Normal, as we see with Lillipup.

Also also: Red Panda is an evolved Pokemon.

Tardigrade: Jul 13, 2012; Half arthropod, half marshmallow, all cute.

I hope all Pokemon are ridable and it's scaled accordingly, because I want to ride into town on a towering snake made of twisted metal. Or alternatively skateboard in balancing on one foot on a Diglett.

Goofy poses aside, I like the idea of Burst moves for types. It's a nice way to get every pokemon doing something without having to completely design new forms for absolutely everyone.
