[Megathread] Pokémon X and Y / Generation 6

[Immitis]

I don't see how this was BIG NEWS!..... Wasn't everyone expecting this?

tbh its really early for a next gen game everyone was expecting either gen 3 remakes or a 3d rpgs for the wiiu.

ive noticecd lately that theyve gotten faster and the games get translated quicker. now everyones getting it on the same month. gone are the days of waiting almost a year for a pokemon game

Totodile was never cute... the pain in the ass... the bane of my Cyndaquils existence low level.

tbh its really early for a next gen game

I'm starting to think people are just saying this because Gen 5 seemed so short after 3 and 4, even if they only lasted an extra year.

Go take a look at release and announcement history. This is the perfect time.

I guess two things to add to this thread:





Seriously... Legendary Pokemon that are made to be shaped like the letter X and Y? Like Trubbish wasn't terrible enough? Graphics be damned, I liked the games for the cool monsters, and that came to an end with Celebi. It doesn't look like they're going to be offering me what I want... I guess it's time to give up on the franchise.

[Linkedblade]

I would like a game where you can go through all 5 regions and do everything associated with each region. Especially catch every single pokemon (even starters, why can't you capture all starters WHY?), collect every badge, every ribbon, beat each championship, etc.

I'm really sick of the binary games as well. I want Pokemen Purple+. . .+Gray+Gray 2

just so you know trubbish and garbodor are both based off grimer and muk. just like genesect is based off mewtwo, the constuction pokemon are based off the machop like, the karate pokemon are based off the hitmans and... you know what NJUST SHUT UP im tired of explaining why gen 5 is based off gen 1 just take your nostalgia bullshit elsewhere your worse than the "bc was teh bezt" crowd

That's the epitome of being blinded by nostalgia.

well one of my former co-workers was an asshole and stole my games out of my car......so every pokemon ds catridge i had which at the time was from dp to bw was stolen.
regardless of that I now keep my games in a fucking safe when im not playing them and if anyone ask to play them id give them a big hell no

[Imnick]

Trubbish is one of the best pokemon there is though
And Garbodor is literally Totoro but made of trash

[GirlyKittyBoy]

Stopped playing Pokemon like 10 years ago and just bought a 3DS XL frivilously soley to play White 2 about a week ago and becoming obsessed with the franchise again. And then a few days later they announce this :P Very excited

[Linkedblade]

I always picked the water type starters. Squirtle, Totodile, Mudkip, Piplup, Oshawott. . .And now Froakie >.>

[Deleted]

For me to pick a starter i'd rather wait till the final forms are known, but from the pic linked earlier (pic - if they look anything like this) i'd still go with Chespin
Froakie looks cool aswell, and i don't really like Fennekin that much...

[endersblade]

I'm surprised Pokemon is still going. My son out grew it years ago.

....I'm 31 and I still play it. People like you are the reason kids have no imagination anymore.

[Ryve]

Yeah...

So, what you're saying is, when looking for a lame Pokemon in generation 1, you had to go all the way to number 122? I guess you've made your point, generation 1 was pretty freaking awesome.

Basing one off an original is just stupid, particularly when it's an even tackier version. Why do you even need an homage to something that is still around in the same game? It's just wank. There's no originality left in the series. They ran out of decent ideas, but they keep on churning out more stupid looking monsters.

That's the epitome of being blinded by nostalgia.

That, or remembering a genuinely enjoyable game that's become a flogged horse.

It's funny, you're the exact kind of person I was mocking. Oh look I can post a funny little comic too.


Kids these days, they don't know, they missed out.

Let me guess, you haven't played a Pokemon game in about 10 years or more?

To find a pokemon lame-looking enough to get past nostalgia-glasses?
Yeah.

Venusaur is a giant green cow with a flower on its back.
Have you seen kakuna/metapod?
Try actually looking at what most of gen1 actually is without remembering anything.

Anyway, gone 6am here, need to go pass out

Because they were so original in the first generation.

HOLY FUCK THEY DON'T EVEN LOOK LIKE MONSTERS ANYMORE.


GOD DAMN, GAMEFREAK, DO YOU EVEN KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING?


WHAT THE FUCK EVER HAPPENED TO CREATIVITY?


IT'S LIKE YOU LOST SIGHT OF YOURSELVES COMPLETELY.


DO YOU EVEN REMEMBER WHAT IT WAS LIKE?


WHY DON'T YOU TAKE YOUR HEAD OUT OF YOUR ASSES FOR ONCE?


FUCK.
