POKEMON GEN 6 ANNOUNCED

[Garamonde]

That bat/dragon thing is AWESOME

too bad it's not a fucking pokemon

but it is. it actually looks kinda like a winged Garchomp.
the butterfly is pretty and I like it, wondering what type of butterfly it is.
I can't identify the pink thing but it looks neat, whatever it is.
I'll admit I don't care about the bird nor does it look as much like a Pokémon as the others
the lobster Pokémon is adorable and I love it even though I can't even see its face and it looks the most like a Pokémon out of the bunch.
also there better not be 3 types, coming up with strategies is chaotic as it is.

"Talonflame" is an amazingly shitty name

I think what Blorsal means is that Talonflame is literally just the word "talon" and "flame" glued together, while most names fuse two words that describe the pokemon together. It just doesn't seem that creative, and (in my opinion) it doesn't flow that well as a name.

Sure, there are other names that are bad as well, but it just means that Talonflame might add to the list.

None of those even come close, some aren't even bad.

except conkeldurr but that probably means something

Porygon is literally "Polygon" with a japanese pronounciation though. Mr. Mime is even worse. The name is fine.

EDIT: Wow that lion one is pretty bland...the first one I'm really disliking so far. That bug (and it's evolution) is cute, but weird...

THAT FLOWER THING THOUGH, SO CUTE

[Garamonde]

the worm thing is adorable
the evolution is neat, looks like confetti
the lion is okay, it's rather cute
the heavenly fairy flower thing is pretty neat
Talonflame still looks okay to me
Vivillon looks even neater than before, I'm liking the pixely confetti theme they have going
Noivern is pretty cool, it's neat that we have a wyvern now, although it feels they are trying to suggest the noise thing too much in the ears but that's just me
the lobster looks EVEN BETTER now, are all the Water-Types going to be awesome this Gen. or what sdfddfs
I couldn't tell what the seahorse was at first but now that I can see it better it's pretty cool and interesting
btw they better make Poison-Type better in Gen. 6 because there are so many cool ones ;(

I think the lobster thing is a pistol shrimp

[Cshad]

I think the lobster thing is a pistol shrimp

I would love for this to be true.

Hopefully it will also get a neat secondary typing to accompany this. Electric/Fighting/Steel are all good candidates.

My problem with "Talonflame" is the way I have to pause when going from the "N" to the "Fl" sounds. It feels hard and unnatural.

[Koopaul]

Yeah my issue with Pokemon names is not if its "clever" but if its easy to pronounce and catchy. Mr. Mime and Slowpoke may not be "clever" but you certainly can remember them, and pronounce them very well which is what was important.

Things like Cofagrigus or Alomomola are horrible names.
