RE: Help me complete my Pokédex? (lots of legendaries available) Just looking for permanent trades for those two (I want to make sure I can maintain my dex completion into the indefinite future), but thanks anyway! Awesome. What would you like for it?

Friend Code: 3738-0039-5795 (Xavier) Time Zone: Pacific Times Available: 2:00 p.m. - 2:00 a.m. most days After my PokéBank transfers, all I've got left to obtain are a Meloetta and a Genesect. Anyone want to help me jump those final hurdles? EDIT: I got both! Awesome! I'm still up for...

Well yeah, they come from the same root. But I pointed to Portuguese because there's no x in bruja. :/

Quilladin is most likely "quill" + "paladin". How one goes from being a paladin to being a Dark-type is beyond me, but we'll see. For Braixen, the "braise" root seems pretty likely, but given its witchiness the fact that the Portuguese word for "witch" is bruxa might also be relevant. The...

Plot twist: it's a baby Lapras.

Damn, I was hoping to be the first to call that. I give it a 90% chance of happening. Love all these names, and the rest of the new info too.

I noticed that right before you said it. I love the little details like that.

Yeah, I think you guys are forgeting that middle evos of starters almost never look good. Gekogashira is a clear outlier, sure, but that's no reason to rag on fat'n'happy Haribohgu there.

Sure it doesnt...yet. e______e Most Normal/Flying types aren't that lucky with their movepool, though, and those (plus Bug/Flying, which it would also tear through like tissue paper) are really common in the single-player route (I'm not even going to bother talking about competitive play...

Flying, presumably. Anything that's Flying and doesn't have one of those other types would be *ahem* a sitting duck.

Eh, I don't play competitively, so I'm still pretty stoked. And at this point in the series, any new type combination is exciting. Hey, they've gotta save some secrets for the release month, right?

Two random thoughts: 1) I've been wanting a Brontosaurus-y fossil Pokémon since forever, and not only is it Ice (one of my favorite types), but it has an ability that lets it overcome Ice's weak movepool. Ice-type Hyper Beam/Giga Impact anyone? Freakin' awesome is what that is. 2) Where the...

It's a major CoroCoro leak, right on schedule. Fake pages do occasionally happen with the real ones, but they're pretty easy to spot. This is the real deal, so you'll just have to get over it.

They were; and I have no idea. Just pointing out that this page is saying something different. It could just be an error, but given that that leaker's info has been nearly flawless so far...

Here's a fascinating tidbit: on that page with all the moves listed, Geomancy, Oblivion Wing, and Parting Shot's types are all listed as "???". I can't think of any reason for this other than the original leaker's assertions that some moves could have more than one type...

Gotta love that xylophone run at the start of the wild battle music. I like the new cries, but Pikachu's namedropping is ugh. Like, I get why it did it in Yellow, and that was fine, but there's zero reason to do it in any other main-series game. Pokémon sounds differing between the games and...

RE: Pokemon X/Y Rumors Most of those projected etymologies are shaky at best, but the "blizzard wolf" one is just laughable. The "buri" part is plausible, but you can't just assume the "n" at the end was just stuck on there for funsies to make "garo" look more interesting, and ignore it...

Trademarks mean basically nothing. There could be a bunch that haven't been tracked down yet, and Game Freak could decide not to use any of the ones that have been found. In fact, it would probably be legally prudent of them to trademark "Mega ____" for every single Pokémon there is regardless...

I decided that for this generation, I'd follow along with all the official reveals, so I'm good so far. But if the whole plotline or roster get leaked before launch, I'll be avoiding those. It'll be nice to for once run across some completely unknown Pokémon in the wild. I've only ever had that...

RE: How do you feel about the revealed Mega Pokémon and which new Mega Pokémon are you hoping to see? It rules it out for this generation, but it might not for the future - the official site specifically says that Mega Evolutions are "a transformation found only in the Kalos region", meaning...
