Old Pokemon General(RIP)

I'm really looking forward to these games. Just so many interesting things that I've seen so far. I've already got my team somewhat planned out.

I really am intrigued by the Fairy type and I'm thinking of using a Spritzee for my team. I'm not sure about the Mega Evolution forms yet though.

DROUGHT CHARIZARD GG. *** SR though :/

 

[Horus]

Neat

 

[SockHead]

Charizard looked beast mode, Venasaur looks like a hippy, and Blastoise looks like a Digimon. Can't complain though, since they're giving one of them to you!

 

[Sheepish]

I kinda like the look of Tanktoise.

Also, looks like a new Pokemon snuck its way into the direct:

That Alpaca Poke is soo cute! I hope it has a first form <w<

Other than that, getting two starters is awesome, bank is awesome though not huge on paying to transfer Pokemon, I'm fine as long as it's reasonable. The only ability upgrade is possibly Blastoise, out of the starter Megas (as, tbh, Ninetails is a better drought user than Charizard would be, Charizard would really prefer to keep Solar Power when it mega evolved.)

 

[Sheepish]

I think Bank will have a free trial period on release, probably so people can transfer their Pokemon over to X/Y without having to pay.

Thick Fat to negate the SE fire and ice damage for Venusaur doesn't seem too bad. I'm not a competitive player, though, so I could just be talking nonsense.

Ooh, okay. I'd pay for it anyway, though, it's a really cool service.

And yeah, thick fat WOULD be good for Venusaur, if it didn't already have Chlorophyll. This might make it more useful out side of Sun and Rain teams, though, which would be nice. Tankier Venusaurs might pop up next gen.

Here's Venusaur and Blastoise incase anyone wants to see the official art:

That was such a disappointment of a Nintendo Direct.

NO.

How much did they say they were charging for Pokemon Bank?

YOU CAN TRANSFER FROM BLACK?! THAT'S FREAKING AWESOME. I wasn't expecting that.

 

[Sheepish]

The NA or EU directs didn't have a price, but the Japanese one said it will be 500 yen per year, so around $5.

But they'll likely bump up the price for NA and EU, so like $10 and probably ?10 and €10 because EU are always screwed over.

I'm confused about the starter thing. Will you get to choose one of the new starters AND one of the originals or only one starter of the six total?

Apparently you get two starters. A choice from the new 3 starters and a choice from the original starters.

That's awesome! Although I'm torn because I'm set on getting the new fire starter and it's so hard to pass up Charmander, but I don't want to start with two fires.

 

[Stevey Queen]

I'm pretty sure the kanto starters will be given after you beat the game. Most likely. And why do we have to pay to transfer pokemon now? That's ********. I don't even see the point of pokemon bank other then the transporter.

I'm assuming you'd be able to just transfer pokemon for free if you have a second 3DS? Or am I mistaken?

 

[Heir]

Although I played Red/blue, and FireRed/Leaf Green, I've never really been a fan of the original starters, but I am glad that they're coming back and have Mega Evolutions. Even though I don't really want them in my party...

That?s the exact problem i?m having :I
