Pokemon Sun and Moon General Discussion: Official Site updated to include every new 'mon

[Anacybele]

Your inability to handle warranted criticism isn't a legitimate excuse to report anyone. Rey hasn't done anything out of line here.

What criticism? And criticism for what? Also, he does this constantly, in other threads, not just this one. When you're repeatedly going after one member like that, we have a problem.

This is off topic, even though I tried to get back on, but I will defend myself in regards to this supposed badgering.

For those who don't want this, just skip the spoiler.

You might feel like you're being targeted by me, but that's because you fail to read the posts of others who also seem to try to point out the problems in your posts:

He's not asking to quote a figure, he's saying to back up your opinion with more than just "people generally agree." Why do they agree on that? What basis do they have? What basis do you have to agree with that? You're making a generalization that you don't necessarily know is true and we don't know why you believe it.

Seriously, stop saying generalizations without doing some basic research. Everyone is sick to death of arguing with you about how to make a point.

take it to pm, kids

[Espinosa]

A proper, well-made Pokemon x FE (or Pokemon x FFT) crossover would've been better than either series on its own, when you think about it. It's sorta mind-boggling when you try to imagine it.

Too bad "making the best possible game you can" doesn't govern and motivate game developers in the world we live in.

[The DanMan]

So... source?

You know... besides that one tweet?

And TV Tropes.

Which are both unsourced.

Japanese searches also turned up nil.

You'd think there would be documentation somewhere for a statement like that.

Didn't know we had no solid source; just assumed it was part of the glut of 25th anniversary info.

Hope it does happen sometime down the line.

In other news, Popplio has moved ahead of "undecided" in the poll! Glad to see some love for it.

You know guys, that Ghost Pikachu, I have the perfect name for it.

We can call it... Pikaboo.

[Sunwoo]

*throws rotten fruit at Jedi*

Question, are the second and third evolutions of the starter Pokemon generally shown in pre-release material?

[Jedi]

*Bats the fruit away* HEY that was a good one comeon

From what I recall, eventually, but its usually closer to release.

Ugh... now I'm going to have to name it that...

Gen 6 was, except I think we were at least aware of the middle evolution by this point. Edited July 15, 2016 by Feldmarschall Rommel

I belive the second evolutions tends to appear some weeks before the game's release, but I'm not sure.

[Nym]

I just hope the third evolutions will not be a disapointement unlike a certain third evolution from a certain fire fox starter.

[Quintessence]

Iirc second stage evolutions were revealed before final stage, so that sums up some suspense!

or kills it once and for all

I liked Delphox, but besides that I agree. I'm already terrified Litten's evolution is gonna be that disastrous bulky monstrosity, I just hope it doesn't happen

The typing is really nice but that's the only good point about it (in my opinion).

I mean, don't give a girly design to a pokémon if this said pokémon has a 80.75% chance of being male (fix the starters to 50/50 already, Nitendo).

What is even sad is that Braixen has become more popular than Delphox (this is Pikachu all over again).

If you want proofs, look no futher than pokken tournament where Braixen is a fighter or you could also look for the anime, this is almost the end of the XYZ saga and Serena still has her Braixen which probably mean it won't evolve.

[Leona]

I wouldn't say it's a girly design

It's a robe. Traditional magewear.

I'm not sure since most robes for mages are either a little bit more short (aka, you can see the feet and the legs a little bit) and open in the middle (you can look at my avatar for an example).

Delphox's robe look just like a normal robe.

[Leona]

It doesn't look feminine at all though, I can't see why you'd think that.

Maybe that's just me.

[Leona]

It's not just you, a lot of people seem to think this and I don't understand why.

[Samias]

Braixen is somewhat girly looking with the skirt-esque fur but Delphox looks a lot more gender neutral. It's a robe like Gandalf or any other wizard in fantasy. However I feel like Braixen became way more popular than Delphox because Delphox's colour scheme in-game is so washed out and dull and brown. Meanwhile Braixen is just really cute and sassy and mobile looking.

[Quintessence]

Good point regarding its mobility. Delphox looks heavy and slow while Braixen seems faster with its legs uncovered.

maybe the pokemon cry influences the gender impressions. Braixen is more feminine than Delphox

[Quintessence]

Of course, Japan gets a crapload of stuff while the rest of us get nothing or next to nothing. When is everyone going to realize that Japan isn't the only part of the world where Pokemon is really popular?

[Nym]

Yeah Ana, but don't forget that they are the one who made this franchise and Nitendo in general.

They can do whatever they want, they are the boss.
