POKEMON GEN 6 ANNOUNCED

[TomGuycott]

If that was the case shouldn't the Y version be more masculine and the X more feminine?

[Gwen]

Yeah, although maybe they flipflopped them on purpose? In true GameFreak Fashion.

[Koh]

Maybe this reveals the morals behind these games. Previous games were all about animal rights with Team Plasma...so, perhaps this time, Y teaches the importance of women, while X teaches the importance of men. I know it's opposite the actual chromosome distribution, but...



...


Or, we could be reading way too deep into it.

[Baegal]

I really doubt Gamefreak is going to delve into gender related issues.
If it's really controversial and difficult now nobody wants a game bringing up those points.

I think it's just related to genetics, as in life and death. X (Xerneas) representing life and Y (Yveltal) representing death.

[Koopaul]

Yeah none of that comes to mind. I was just making an observation based on their looks.

[Koh]

Maybe this will be the first set of games to include the Neither option.

[NICKtendo DS]

Maybe this will be the first set of games to include the Neither option.

I'll simply create a female character called 'Trap'.

[Vipershark]

Yeah, no.

[TomGuycott]

Apparently the evolution of the fire lion was leaked, but I'm at work and too lazy to get the actual link. A friend texted an image of it.

[Darky's Reincarnation]

yeah, because pokémon has always been gender equality

Spoiler

Pyroar (fire/normal)

-Mewtwo X looks fine to me
-The starters look okay
-I was hoping Froakie would evolve into something fancier looking and the white dots on its nose would turn into spectacles, but it's okay, it doesn't look bad
-I also prefer the ice dino, it's so cute
-I like the skunk-cats, the white one is definitely gonna be the female because of how the tail curls are and the facial expression. The black one also resembles Umbreon, did anyone notice?
-Pyroar looks pretty good
-I don't mind the alpaca-dog evolving into a poodle, we don't really have any poodle Pokemon AFAIK

[Chaoxys]

The alpaca doesn't evolve into a poodle, those are all the same pokemon. When you catch it in the wild, it starts out shaggy, but when you can get it's hair cut/styled. If I had to guess, it's style will change it's ability/stats. I say this because it's default ability is Fur Coat which most likely won't be the case after having a trim.

[Baegal]

bluh
the (possible) Litleo evolution is a little disappointing to me. It just seems so. . .lacking? I don't know how to word it.
I'm not all that concerned because I never loved Litleo, but just felt like sharing o/

[Tellis]

It bugs me because I was absolutely CERTAIN that it was gonna be some sort of Fire/Poison manticore type of thing, what with Litleo having that tail that looks like a scorpion tail and there being such a mythological vibe so far. If there's a third stage to the family, then hopefully then it'll go the way of the manticore at that point but the way its design looks I really doubt it...

... if it is real, that is. Which I would put money on, with how there's an actual screenshot.
