Revealed Gen VI Pokemon Discussion/Speculation Thread

[Water-noctowl]

These are my biggest wants:
1) For the version masctos to not be Dragon-type.
2) For the fire starter (Assuming we're sticking with them) to not evolve into a Fire/Fighting type.
3) A better, more robust online system that can actually detect who disconnected in an online match.
4) Online communities like Mario Kart 7. Maybe even the ability to hose 8/16-people tournaments via Wi-Fi?
5) I think sprites for Pokémon are here to stay, as PMD didn't use all of the 3D models. However, I would love an overworld similar in style to Tales of the Abyss. Also, I believe a more visual-novel style for important characters' dialogue (Gym Leaders, rivals, villains etc) would be awesome. Maybe the 2D overworld sprites could be replaced with a chibi number like Bravely Default or Dragon Quest?
6) The ability to trade multiple Pokémon at once (possibly limit it to a box at a time). Or even better - an ability to simply transfer Pokémon to another game.
7) Stronger Ice-type Pokémon and physical Ice-type moves.

But it needs to be able to tell if you lose your connection so there is no unfair blame.

If you have a poor connection, don't play online. There would be no way to tell whether someone's connection drops accidentally or if it was them rage quitting, I imagine.

Still, the sheer amount of rage quitters on Wi-Fi needs to be addressed.

Um plenty of people have poor wifi I know that and therefore warn everyone who I connect with that my wifi often cuts out so they know I didn't rage quit. Systems don't take that into account. Also it could tell if you hit the run button or not that could stop some of it.

People don't hit the "Run" button to quit - they outright turn their DS systems off. Selecting "Run" will result in them receiving a loss on their record, which defeats the purpose of them rage quitting.

The biggest annoyance with people rage quitting is with the official Wi-Fi tournaments and especially now that The Pokémon Company International is offering Championship points in the Wi-Fi tournaments, the issue needs to be clamped down on very harshly.

I have no games other than SS so I don't know much about these tournaments I've been playing for less than a year admittedly. So what are Championship points used for?

Players earn Championship Points for entering various official tournaments (both Wi-Fi and IRL). Once you've earned over a certain amount, you get an invitation to the Pokémon World Championships.

In Gen VI, I think we'll get at least one of the following:

-A new starter trio of Rock, Fighting, and Flying.
-A female head of a villainous team.
-The availability to choose the game's difficulty right from the get-go.
-A reckless female rival who uses brute force, and a shy male rival who uses tactical defense.
-A Fighting/Flying-type, a Dark/Electric-type, and an Electric/Fighting-type.
-Around 120 new Pokemon, with only seven legendaries.
-The badge quest having either twelve or sixteen badges, with NO. WATER. TYPE. GYM.
-The admins of the villainous team, if any, to focus on the Psychic-, Ice-, and Electric-types.

[ZMT123]

Less legendaries this gen please. Around five should be sufficient enough, like Gen 1. Gen 4 and 5 introduced way too many. The starter pokemon should maybe ditch the traditional water/grass/fire and have us choose from a variety of starter pokemon. Maybe have us catch our starter in a Safari Zone-like area.

[Ziggy Stardust]

Original Dragon, Dragon Eeveelution, and Primisect (borrowed that nice name from someone else).


As for starters... NOT FIRE-FIGHTING, PLEASE

[Zistal]

Ooh, just remembered a Legendary Pokemon idea I really want to happen.

Chimera legendary. If Golurk is an ancient equivalent to Porygon, then this thing would be an ancient equivalent to Mewtwo and Genesect. I personally conceptualize it as Bug/Dragon, and the result of alchemists being all like "Lol lets fuse bugs and dragons, what could possibly go wrong? OH GOD WHAT HAVE WE DONE."

Primisect (borrowed that nice name from someone else).

You're borrowing it from someone else. Pretty sure a fakemon artist came up with it.

Paleosect
Predasect
Ferousect
Terasect

There are many potential names for Genesect's original self if it's a separate Pokemon.

That's exactly what I said. Actually, from your own post.

[Pokemaster97]

Gen VI wish list:
1) Dragon type Eeveelution.
2) A Dark type gym
3) A Fire starter that does not evolve into a Fire/Fighting type.
4) The player character having an actual back story.

[Caliborn]

1.)Being able to customize the main character.
2.)Like everyone else, a fire starter that does not evolve into fire/fighting.
3.)A Flying eeveeloution
4.)Maybe some evo's for Unova pokemon?

[Frugrow]

- At least 10 Legendary Pokemon (I like Legendary Pokemon. Bite me)
- NO MORE Dragon-type mascots
- No Fire/Fighting final evolution
- Return of PokeWalker
- Return of Wi-Fi Plaza with lots of new mini-games
- New, never before used dual type Pokemon (e.g. Fighting/Flying, Fire/Grass)
- Character customization
- Space Travel
- Diving to remain with lots more diving spots
- At least 2 new fossil Pokemon

I don't ever remember anyone complaining about the legends in RSE and there was exactly 10 so yeah I think 10 isn't overkill. Plus I think it depends on the design of the legend as well. Here's a list of legends I came up with pretty predictible though

1. A standalone Legend maybe a Griffin that's Fighting/Flying Type
2. A Trio or even a Quartet maybe the 4 Symbols of the Chinese Constellations
3. The 2 Version Legends sort of like Ho-oh and Lugia
4. Possibly 2 Event Legends (The less the better)
5. Oh and another 2 standalones possibly based on some cryptids like Chupacabra or Folklore creatures like the Nue

So yeah about 10-11 as long as they're done right.

Isn't this the Gen that introduces Pokemon #666? (In Gen 6 no less LOL that was definitely planned)

I hope its the cutest Pokemon in existence, just to troll people speculating on that number.

well... the next Gen Order will be

#650 Grass Starter
#651: Grass Starter
#652: Grass Starter
#653: Fire Starter
#654: Fire Starter
#655: Fire Starter
#656: Water Starter
#657: Water Starter
#658: Water Starter

SO odds are #666 will just be an Early Rodent (ala Rattata) or an Early Bird (Pidgy) so it will probably be useless competitively lol unless it's like Staraptor

[Zistal]

Now I'm a bit confused... I meant that I just got that name from someone else, so technically you're borrowing it from them and not my post. I probably should have clarified that better.

#665: Generic early bug that appears to have regressed back to pre-Gen 5 levels of suck.
#666: Regression confirmed. It's just a crappy early bug whose only saving grace is looking cute and being the first fly Pokemon.
#667: ...Annnnnd once it reaches a certain high level, its true nature as Gyarados 2.0, the first bearer of the Bug/Dark combo, Gen 6's pseudo legendary, and the Pokemon equivalent of Beelzebub are revealed.

Kind of like how Gabite was #444 and Garchomp was #445.

[GliscorMan]

Personally, there are only a few things I want. And a few I expect.

Want:
-No fire/fighting starter
-Two new fossils with completely new type combinations (Rock/Ghost and Rock/Electric?)
-An ability which heals a mon during the sun (like rain dish), for possible bulky fire-types(?)
-A total of 7 or 8 new legends, 2-3 of which being WiFi event
-Two of those legends both being Ghost/Something and complete opposites of each other, as version mascots. Not dragon-type!
-More sophisticated WiFi battling
-A new Snow Warning user, possibly fast and frail. (Ice/Bug, maybe?)
-More viable Pokemon with weather-negating abilities (think Air Lock or Cloud Nine). Maybe an ability or move that removes weather altogether?

Expected:
-If there's an eeveelution, it'll be Dragon-type. Why? Dragon is the only remaining Special type without an eeveelution.
-No Dark-type Gym. Why? Seriously, it's the Evil type in Japan. That wouldn't sit well with them.
-A few more Dark-type Pokemon which are simply misunderstood, not evil. That might make a Dark-type Gym more possible.
-Anti-ragequitting stuff for the WiFi battles.
-No customizable character, but he will have a little bit of backstory, similar to Gen III's player character moving to Hoenn (from Johto?) with his mom so they could be with their dad who'd already attained a Gym Leader position.

In all, I'm not sure what to expect. But I know what I want, really.
