Pokémon X and Y (and Another Pokémon Poll)

A new form is more plausible then having to explain where this new Pokemon came from and why it looks so much like Mewtwo.

Apparently it's Mewtwo's new form after it wakes up..

I don't mind that Mewtwo form. Reminds me of Tyrogue.

Aaaaand now I like it even less. I remember scrabbling around for a fighting type for Pokémon Stadium 2's Little Cup, and tried Tyrogue. Mistake. Worst baby fighting type ever, not to mention its design looks (as Phillips would say) "mince".

New Mewtwo doesn't look bad, on the other hand. It's just utterly unnecessary. If I were asked to list all the Pokémon that are crying out for a new form and the resulting extra versatility, Mewtwo would not be one of them.

As a genetic experiment, I'd say Mewtwo is one of the most obvious choices for a new form or two. Not that I agree with forms, personally. They water down the value of a standalone Pokémon.

Tampering with a generation one Pokémon is a risky business. Not sure how I'd feel if Psyduck received a baby pre-evolution, for example.

What about a second evolution, though? Let's face it: Golduck is kinda rubbish.

No, that thing definitely needs an evolution too. And while we're on the subject...

Stunfisk can fly?

I wouldn't mind seeing a baby form Scyther

I'll second the Dunsparce evolution, but probably not for the reason you'd expect. See, if it gets an evolution it will be able to use Evolite, which will in turn make it bulky and hard to kill. Which will in turn make it using a set of Thunder Wave, Air Slash, Roost, and a filler move (I'd go with Slam for those pesky Ground types) coupled with the ability Serene Grace absolute hell for people to deal with, even moreso than it already is. It would be like Togekiss, only more annoying!

Also, this guy. Here's a pretty cool fan evolution for him.

Spoiler:

Heck yes Sableye! It was my avatar on the Nintendo Gamer website while the site lasted. Give Sableye and Absol evolutions and I will not ask for another Pokémon evolution ever again.

Well, except for Farfetch'd. Come on, chaps. Poor bird's been dying for a leek-wielding fighting-flying samurai now for four generations.

Those Sableeye fan evos really remind me of the Twilight Beasts from Zelda: TP, which is not a bad thing in the slightest.

I'm pretty sure I read somewhere that the reason Farfetch'd didn't get an evolution is because it's something to do with Darwinism and how further evolution of a certain type of bird he saw would be "farfetched." Could be talking out of my arse here, but I'm fairly certain I recall reading that.

Those fan evolutions remind me of Chaos from Sonic Adventure, actually Sableye just reminds me of it, a little too dark for Pokemon but heck yes give it an evolution.

So Mewtwo's new form is called the "awakening form". Ability: Insomnia?

I'd honestly rather Insomnia over Pressure, Insomnia actually gives Mewtwo some more possible movesets while Pressure is just blegh.

Pressure is more useful on a wall, like can you imagine if snorlax had it? But the idea that its "blegh" is a crime against nature, all the OHKO moves tend to be low PP and accuracy so you can get rid of that threat pretty easily and not too riskily.

I'd imagine a Sableye evolution more like this

Spoiler:

Considering his origins are the main reason he's one of my favourite Pokémon.

Slightly more on topic; somewhat disappointed it was a new form of Mewtwo. I'm not a big fan of forms unless they're there from the Pokémon's inception. I'd rather it was a clone Mewtwo made to give himself company or something.

Mewtwo has company in the clones he created in the first movie

And a bump we go..


So I thought I would get in first with this:

I'm half-inclined to keep a tally. That's one point to Shanks over Athrun...

The heck is with that yellow thing? Like the goat design, though, and we're well overdue a pandamon. (Although I did really want an electric panda with English name Pandagraff...)

Do I see Pokemon riding at the bottom right? maybe a new HM to replace bikes?

I see that yellow thing when I close my eyes.

The panda reminds me of Andy Panda:

Really like those designs. However knowing how these things usually go I expect them all to evolve in to something ugly and promptly get booted off the team when they do.

I can guarantee you any tally started will have me last.

Yeah I see it. It looks like the trainer is riding the Goat looking Pokemon, and the yellow one seems to have the same colors as Mawile.


Unconfirmed Names:
Gogoat: Which you can ride in the field. (It's the Grass goat on the right)

The token bird is called Yayakoma

The panda is called Yanchamu which is a fighting type

The game is set in the Karos Region supposedly

Trainers spotted.

Some decent designs for both of them for once.

Male trainer is rocking some Dame Edna glasses it seems. Good designs though, bar male trainer's shades.
