Revealed Gen VI Pokemon Discussion/Speculation Thread

[Snubbull Lover 777]

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

Unless they pull another Generation 5 on us where the next Pokédex starts out with a Chibi Legend like Victini.

I read this from another message board a long time ago and really liked the idea.

I doubt Game Freak will use the idea though since we just had a legendary quartet in this generation.

Anyway, it's a legendary quartet based on the 4 horsemen of the apocalypse. Another reason I doubt they'll use it is because the Musketeer Trio + Keldeo are quadrupedal as well.

Pestilence: Poison type
War: Fighting type
Famine: Grass type
Death: Ghost type

It would be cool if they based future Pokemon off this story.

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

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.

Oh, I'm sorry, misunderstood.



I wonder if GF will repeat the #000 formula, being #650 a legendary a la Victini. Maybe #650 (or regional #000) could be Original Dragon, to set a link with Gen V and Tao trio. Or maybe "Primisect". Or maybe any random new Legendary.

If the Original Dragon exists next gen, I think being the last Pokemon in the Pokedex might be more fitting than #000 considering it will have an Arceus+ level BST. Primisect seems like a good fit for #650/000, as Mew comes right after Mewtwo.

i really hope they bring more gen III style Pokémon. there were not enough of those for me.
and they had better not spam all of these legendary pokémon like in gen V. i hated that alot.

[Konoko Hasano]

Just like everybody else, I'm hoping the Fire starter isn't part Fighting. XD

I'm hoping that the new region -- if it isn't based near Unova -- is based off of Australia and New Zealand. Kiwi, Weta, Tasmanian Devil, Cassowary, and other kinds based off of animals from those two areas would be nice.

[♥^_^cremep0ps^_^♥]

also i wanna see them make new sections in evolutionary lines, like they did with Kirlia and Pikachu.

[Ziggy Stardust]

Ah, another thing. When new evolutions (or pre-evo) for Pokémon were created, GF invented new items and methods to avoid discrepancies. For example, incienses to "explain" why in Gen II Marill didn't breed Azurill. Or Dusk Stone to evolve Murkrow and Misdreavus who were unable to evolve in Gen II and III. There were a couple of oversights (in Gen II you were able to breed Swinub with Ancient Power), but GF always tried to keep some consistency, even between incompatible generations.

In Gen V Eviolite was introduced, being effective only for not-fully evolved Pokémon. Now, imagine they introduce an evolution for... let's say, Farfetch'd. Eviolite didn't work on Farfetch'd in Gen V, but it will in Gen VI, generating a discrepancy.

So, unless GF oversees that, it's likely GF won't introduce new evolutions for old Pokémon anymore, unless they were branch evolutions (for example, Introducing a new eeveelution won't break this consistency since Eevee is already able to evolve and Eviolite already works for it).

It's just a hypothesis I have, probably GF won't consider this.

Bulbapedia mentions that the pixies are based on the 5 Chinese Elements:

Earth: Mew
Wood: Celebi
Metal: Jirachi
Water: Manaphy
Fire: Victini

But, is Mew a good representation of Earth if this is the case? All the other pixies are very literal in regards to this theory, but Mew isn't or doesn't seem to be. Perhaps the next pixie with a 600 BST will be psychic/ground or psychic/rock to convey Earth?

You know...that makes a lot of sense...

I would think so, considering how its basically the ancestor of all, the seed of life and what not.

It does. Or maybe they'll expand to Air.

[Silktree]

Land Forme and Sky Forme Shaymin already have earth (in the the physical sense) and air covered.

I hope that there won't be another Mew-like Pokémon. By all means, one of the legendaries should be cute, but I am tired of Game Freak adhering to traditions for the sake of it. We don't need another legendary with 100 base stats across the board, and if Manaphy, Shaymin and Victini are anything to go by, a seventh Mew-like Pokémon won't have any real myth to speak of. No thanks.

I'd question whether that's a deliberate pattern or just a coincidence, though.

I'm calling total bullshit... your argument makes no fucking sense... so they aren't going to make evolutions in Gen VI because of one item in Gen V? makes no sense... simply put it would work on them in Gen VI because it's a different Gen... not a real discrempisy at all just you grasping at straws... also Piloswine learned Ancient Power in Gen II yet they couldn't evolve Mamoswine until Gen IV same with Lickitung and Lickilicky
