The Next Pokemon Game

why would anyone do this

Why do you think it will be slow and defensive?

Genuinely conflicted over which fossil Pokemon to get. Which matches Fennekin and Bulbasaur the best?

muh patterns

Fossil pokemon tend to be released in offense/defense oriented pairs. One is usually a physical attacker, while the other has better defenses and maybe some sp. atk. Tyrunt looks to be the attacker of this pair. Then the Rock type itself is also known for pretty slow defensive pokes, and a lot of Ice types are pretty bulky and slow as well.

Now, Amaura could be a special attacker based on its use of Aurora Beam, but if it is that severely hinders Refrigerate as most of the good Normal moves are physical. In that case I hope we get some new special Normal moves, otherwise the best it could get is Hyper Beam.

The absolute best case scenario for Amaura would be a fast physical attacker, and and if it got Extremespeed I would use nothing else until the end of forever. As it stands though, I don't think it will happen. I hope I'm wrong, but I'm expecting it to be a primarily defensive mon with above average special attack, that nonetheless learns some physical normal moves it will have trouble making use of due to low attack.

I want to like it, but I'm afraid of how easily it could be messed up.

So what you're saying is I should get the Tyrunt fossil instead and smash this one into pieces?

Granted even if I got the game on launch day the Pokenerds would have already hacked the game to figure everything out. 'Tis their nature.

Aurorus (Can learn the ice move Freeze Dry which is super effective against water types) and Tyrantrum.

Rock/Fire? Rock/Ground? Just Rock?

Blue's Rock/Ice, Red's Rock/Dragon.

Tyrantrum is awesome. Wish it had a better name though.

Apparently Kalos region doesn't have any new Pokemon that Mega-evolve...Lame.

And the choice of the fossil Pokemon hasn't gotten any easier. If Scenario is right about how the stats will fall than Tyrunt is the way to go but I'll just wait to see what hacking the game reveals~

Yeah, seems the whole Mega forms is something that'll only be handed to certain fan-favorites, rather than to new Pokemon in general. I guess in a way it's a nod to older gen poke-fans (making their favorite Pokemon more recent or relevant again) while Gamefreak still makes their usual new critters and stuff.

Yeah but why can't the new Pokemon join in on the fun? This is a development in their region.

The greatest sin....

Maybe there will be a "3rd" game to Pokemon X and Y called Z, and Mewtwo gets a Z form, unless they continue going the Black 2/White 2 kind of route for sequels, which I don't mind either way.

So its my understanding that the original pokemon are not starters but you will be able to obtain them.

I'm glad Pokemon has moved out of basing regions on Japan. First Murrica and now France.

Orre was based on Arizona...

I don't think the 3D/console games count, much as I liked them until Battle Revolution or so. Still miss the amount of console Pokemon games there used to be, actually.

I hope the wiiu one is gonna be good.

You mean Pokemon Battle rumble? The one thats gonna be like skylander/Disney infinity?...well kind of.

Nah, at the very end of an x/y trailer they showed an hd clip of blaziken vs lucario. I assume that's for the wii u.
