Do you guys think that this metagame could turn out less offensive then the 5gen and more defensive orientated (which i would love)

What good defensive pokemon do we have so far? I haven't seen too many stats, but Goodra with Hydration will slay. I don't think they're going to shake up the metagame as much as last time, with everything getting a Dream World ability. They'd need A LOT of really good walls if they want to significantly change anything, since there are already 600 pokemon which make up the offensive metagame.

If anything I thinks it going to become more offensive. Mega-Evos have a lot of hitting power and unless we get some great new defensive moves the meta is only going to continue to get more and more offensive.

Well i have a feeling that a good bunch will be Uber

That's a first.

Weezing's type knows no boundaries, tbh

[Harrier]

I love that Dralgage is going to have a chance against fairy types though, unlike some of the dragons. I wonder if we'll see stuff like Poison Jab on Mence or Dnite
poor Hydreigon though he stands no chance unless he runs flash cannon

What's funny is people were complaining that Gen V had to many Pokemon and too many legendary Pokemon, and they hated that were stuck playing with those 150 for the entire game

Girls, we have to realize Gamefreak can't keep pumping out 150+ Pokemon every generation, it'll just end up becoming chaos. I think they're even figuring that out. From the start when Mega Evolution's were shown that this was going to be Gamefreaks way of testing out how to continue the franchise without over expanding the Dex to the point where collecting them all would be a life long task.

i wonder which starter you'll get

They seem to have new Protect moves, as well as weather effects. But really we won't see the effects of the Meta Game until a couple months after the game is released.

And they added like 20 new dragon types Charizard, Gyarados, Ampharos, Dragalge, Goodra, Tyrantrum, Noivern, Zygarde + Megachomp. They just made Dragon even more OP instead of fixing it.

Nnnn;;; Gamefreak, sis, your logic sometimes.

Judging from their stats, they get hindered in some points, like Mega Lucario having high Attack and Sp. Atk, but very low HP. Plus we can only have one of them on our team.

She slays.

My team:

Delphox
Sylveon
Gourgeist
Draglage
Malamar

Does anyone know how far in the game the leaker caught Skrelp? I've wanted to train one since its reveal, but now I'm really excited to have one on my team!

[!Blue!]

Wait... Mega Gyarados is Dragon

nnn Hydreigon. Fairy types immune to Draco Meteor, and resist Focus Blast, U-turn and Dark Pulse. and him being 4x weak to Fairy. He was my favourite from Gen 5 He can surf them I guess...

Some have no chance of being OU. As if Speed-Boost Blaziken wasn't OP enough they gave it more attack Sand Force Chomp will wreck especially if they only drop its speed to 91 or 96

I agree with Jungle. I got the feeling they really wanted to showcase the older Pokemon because of the new 3D graphics. We'll be seeing these old Pokemon we may have never got the opportunity to train or maybe have trained several times in a completely new light. The sheer amount of Pokemon catchable will keep things fresh.

You'd have to do so many different playthroughs before the game was boring, due to the number of different Pokemon in the regional dex.

I agree. Even tho it is common that the even gens focus more on gameplay and features. This one in particular really seems to be mainly focusing on the said things

Gen 1+2 fit snugly together, Gen 3+4+5 all eventually worked together, and Gen 6 now feels like the start of a completely new bunch of games. As in, the shift between Gen 5 & 6 feels as big/momentous as the shift between Gen 2 & 3.

exactly! people are not taking into account how fresh and updated all the 'old' pokemon are going to feel thanks to the great 3D graphics, mega-evolutions, Fairy-Type, and other enhancements to movesets etc. B/W had 150 new pokemon and it didn't seem as fresh as this is looking.

I like that point you raised about B&W. I actually loved those games on my first couple of playthroughs but despite the amount of new Pokemon, it didn't quite feel "fresh" and "new" in comparison to Platinum or HeartGold. It just felt like an extension of them, unlike these games that actually feels like a whole new start.

-

For my team for my first playthrough in Pokemon X I just kind of want a nice range of types, but rather simple in obtaining them, too. I don't want most of my planned team to be obtainable around the 7th gym, and so I hope the pokemon I've picked for my team are going to be obtainable early on.

When is the new Pokémon released in Europe?
