Eviolite Shuckle? That would be... wow. Just... IDK. Would that even be killable? XP

Also, I'd very much disagree with "it's just a game for little kids, fun to play in spare time." Sure, it's marketed to little kids, & made to be fun in your spare time. But you'll note all of the nostalgic/game mechanics changes as of late. Mewtwo Awakened Forme, the addition of a type to balance out the type chart, Horde battles to discourage the catching of a new 'mon in favor of raising one, not to mention the upcoming Butterfree episode in the anime (Yes, Ash's Butterfree from the original series) & Charizard coming back. Pokemon is catering more & more to their older fans, the ones that go to tournaments & actually get money for playing a 'game for little kids.'


OK... I admit, you've got me there, especially considering I have noticed Poke'mon gearing towards more mature audiences (I can't say anything about the anime, though; I've never watched it), plus it's the somewhat more "mature" part of Poke'mon that has kept me a fan. However...

I would hardly say that Dragons are running rampant. Have you looked at the Ubers list? There's only two non-legendaries, last I checked, neither of which are dragons (Blaziken & Excadrill). The only real addition to dragon types from Gen V that is mattering is Hydreigon, who is hardly OP'd, while most of the rest lessened in use. Really the best dragon right now is Kingdra on a team with Dream World Politoed. Other than that, dragons are rather undermining as of late.

For most teams, you have to have one or two members carrying Ice Beam or Ice Punch just to counter the possibility that there might be a Haxorus or a Salamence around the corner, even though they'll likely never use the moves to counter anything else. Outrage and Draco Meteor OHKO essentially everything except Ferrothorn and a handful of other Steel-type walls; however, Dragon-types usually carry either Fire Blast (e.g., Dragonite or Hydregion) or Fire Fang (e.g., Garchomp).

Most people I've talked to agree that Dragon is the best type. It hits pretty much everything neutrally, and most Dragons have absolutely massive BSTs. It has resistances to Fire, Electric, Water and Grass; essentially all the most major attacking types besides Ground and Fighting, the latter of which is remedied that Hydreigon and Flygon have Levitate, and Salamence and Dragonite are Flying-typed. On top of that, it's weak to Ice; Ice types tend to be frail, not to mention they have a glaring weakness to Stealth Rock, and their weather condition of choice, Hail, is almost never used in OU, as Obamasnow gets mauled by both Tyranitar and Ninetales.

Also, on the subject of dragons becoming less popular... I don't think that's true at all. I see Dragonite on almost every team, and Salamence, Kyurem-B, Haxorus and Garchomp are pretty common, as well. I rarely see Kingdra; in fact, in most battles I've been in I'm the one using Kingdra. That may be because I'm usually playing with Smogon rules, however, which bans Drizzle+Swift Swim.

(Also, personally, I see Haxorus way more than Hydreigon, as far as Gen V dragons go)

While I'm not saying Dragon should gain another weakness, I think it's completely fair that something should resist it besides Steel. I think it'd make no sense if Fairy was strong against Dragon, but it'd be cool to have something, once again, that resists dragon, besides Steel.

...unless Chansey gets it. Chansey is... already a monster.




While I'm still a bit on the edge about a lot of this (*coughcoughtalonflamecoughcough*), I hardly think Poke'mon's being ruined. In fact, I'm kinda welcoming the new generations, with their [slightly] more complex plotlines and characters. Now all they need to do is get rid of the trailer's creepy narrator.

Outside of Fissure/Sheer Cold/etc., no, I don't think that Eviolite Shuckle could be killed. Alternatively, they could also release the very first 4-part evo line... With Blissey evolving. And still being Fairy type. Slaughter ALL OF THE METAGAME!

Ok, it's true that Dragons are still big. I won't lie about that, & I will point out that I don't actually play competitively either, & all my info is 2nd hand from the same person that gave me the idea for Eviolite Shuckle, so I don't really know first hand. But all of my sources point to Dragons having been at least greatly lessened since Gen V. Garchomp in particular was Gen IV's King of the Metagame, but became far less widely used afterwards. From what I've read/heard, weather teams are the only place that dragons are still top-tier murdertanks. Though, I keep noticing that Haxorus IS used more than Hydreigon. Why? It doesn't have as high a BST, & comparatively its coverage is horrid (then again, next to Hydreigon most things have horrible coverage).
Don't get me wrong, Dragons are the best type, they were literally made to be the best type, & they could definitely use a nerf. But they're hardly omnipotent.

And, slightly more complex plotlines & characters? I think you should compare Gen I's story/Giovanni to Gen V's/N some more. They're slightly more complex in the same way that a Wondertomb & Huge Power!Slaking are slightly better a team than Sunkern & Unown.

So, Singemeister's pokemon summaries

Chespin - It's growing on me, if purely because it reminds somewhat of Calvin from Calvin & Hobbes. Don't know why.
Fennekin - Eh, alright I guess, will probably get some good evolutions.
Froakia - COCAAAAAINE frog. Wonderful.
Sylveon scares me. It's those huge dead voids it has for eyes. It probably steals children
Pancham - Emo teen panda. Nothing more to say
Helioptile - I like the frilled lizard thing. Probably going to have some good ideas
Fletchling - Slightly more interesting than the average starting bird
Flametalon - Great design, stupid name. They could've called it some weird combination of, say, buzzard and flamberge.
Gogoat - I only just noticed its horns are like a motorbike. Trying to think of a good motorbike/goat pun. Kawasakibex?
Vivillon - They're including french words into the names (Papillon is fr for butterfly). Cool. Need to know more to make up my mind.
Noivern - Pretty damn badass.
Clauncher - Pistol shrimp, finally. If I wasn't going to use Froakie, I'd use this as my water type.
Skrelp - It's Horsea's serially depressed cousin! I really like the whole 'pretends to be seaweed then poisons you thing'. Innovative.
Xerneas - Could do with being more heavily built, more majestic.
Yveltal - LOL XD LUKS LIEK A DIJIMAN U FIAL SO HRAD GAMFRIK MO LIEK GAY...MAN...FREEKS AMIRITE nobodylikesme
I am the King of Putrescine and Sulphur.

^Pretty much sums up my opinions on the new releases, though I disagree on a number of the older ones. Don't see how Pancham is an emo teen at all. More a little kid that thinks he can totally whoop your arse.

Where'd you hear there were two? I mean considering the one immediately before Vivillion is Spewpa or something to that effect, it's pretty obvious, but I hadn't seen confirmation.

Kofukimushi and Spewpa

I don't think they have them on the new pokemon page as to lack of good pictures and having Japanese names.

Didn't know about those

Kofukimushi - It's like the stereotypical nerd of the bug pokemon with those teeth. Nyeeeeerhhh!
Spewpa - It's adorable. Naming it Hermione.
Shishiko - Eh, bit too much like Shinx so far, but maybe that'll change with time. Big badass lion as opposed to scrawny Luxray?
Furabebe - It's a pixie. I'll reserve judgment till I know more
I am the King of Putrescine and Sulphur.

I admit... you've got me there. *really hopes to see some more N-like characters in Gen 6*


Hydreigon has a glaring Fighting-type weakness. It is practically OHKOed by MachPunch after Stealth Rocks damage which is just... sad. . It's too slow to be a sweeper, as well, meaning it can only switch into walls. It does have the grace of having no "true" counters, but it's still better as an ingame Pkmn than a competitive one.

Now for Haxorus; 145 base Attack. That is absolutely insane; not as high as Rampardos, but Haxorus has a far better defensive typing than Rampardos, and is overall just tougher (Rampardos also has the same problem as Hydreigon in that it is weak to Fighting). Although, like Hydreigon, it's a bit slow for a sweeper, it is able to boost itself with Dragon Dance. On top of that, it has Mold Breaker, which allows it to steamroll pretty much everything.

While it's true that Dragons, and, specifically, Garchomp have fallen a bit out of grace, they're still quite the menaces. Garchomp can still hit hard with Earthquake and Outrage, since the only thing that resists both of them that is commonly seen in OU is Bronzong and Skarmory. While maybe it [Garchomp] is not the superstar it was in D/P/Pt, it's still quite the threat.

Also, Blissey evolution... o gawd. That would... just... o gawd. That's all I can say. That would just... like... ruin the game. XP

Also, my opinions:

Chespin: I still don't understand this thing. It looks weird, not Grass...ey... enough.
Fennekin: I don't care how much you guys say, it still reminds me way to much of Vulpix.
Froakie: I don't really like Froakie all that much,, however, that's what I think about Oshawott... and it evolves into Samurott, which is like Chuck Norris and Bruce Lee in one, in terms of epicness. So there's hope for Froakie.
Sylveon: With the exception of Umbreon, I've never been that fond of Eevelutions. Same here story with Sylveon. I don't dislike it, buut... meh. I just... don't really have any opinion.
Pancham: I think this might be my Fighting type on my in-game team, if Scraggy isn't available. Needless to say, I'm naming mine Jack Black... I mean... how could I not?
Helioptile: I really like Helioptile. I love his cute little frill... thing, and the secondary Normal typing is interesting.
Noivern: This is just... yes. Just... yes. It looks so epic, it's insane. I really gotta say, this looks like it'll be 6th Gen's Scolipede (although, hopefully it's more useful than Scolipede).
Clauncher: This is the only one I really, really like. I take that back. I love Clauncher. Pistol Shrimp=Brilliant. Without doubt, I'm using it on my team.
Fletching: I like Fletching. Not really anything else to say here. Nothing really remarkable.
Talonflame: In terms of design for beginner birds, I think only Staraptor can top Talonflame (and that's saying something). If only it didn't have the horrendous name...
Skrelp: I quite like Skrelp. More likely than not I'll use it on my team.
Kofukimushi: *insert Honeydew's "d'awww" here*
Spewpa: Spewpa is just... adorable. Too bad it's a cocoon Pkmn.
Vivillion: I really like Vivillion. Definitely a lot cooler than Beautifly and Butterfree. However, the Bug/Flying typing leaves much to be desired.
Shishiko: Am I the only one that think Shishiko looks like a baby Entei?
Furabebe: This thing... it's... ugh. It looks like a hybrid between Jirachi and Chimecho, to me. Only more ugly.
Yveltal: I like Yveltal.v It's cool, and I love the Dark/Flying typing. It's a bit complex, but I honestly thing it's nowhere near as bad as Reshiram or Zekrom.
Xerneas: Meh. Blue Virizion.

I guess you have a point there. I one-shot Iris's Hydreigon with Bug Buzz...

Blissey, resisting Dragon moves & with a working Eviolite. Beautiful.

Oh, I've just noticed that, despite showing my opinions after each release, I've neglected to make a list. *ahem*

Chespin- Oh god why. Second least favorite pokemon, right before Snivy. Why is this a thing?
Fennekin- I like this one a lot, & it will almost certainly be my choice of starter.
Froakie- Ok I don't think it's as bad anymore as I did, but I am still not a fan at all. I'm giving it a chance until I see its evos, but I'm not getting my hopes up.
Sylveon- Honestly my favorite Eeveelution new, though I still wish it was Flying type. Not complaining about the fact that I'll have a counter for Dragons on my team, though.
Pancham- Current favorite Gen VI 'mon, I foresee a great friendship between us. That consists largely of him punching things & then me copying his head movements & then him punching more things.
Fletchling- Eh, it's a cool little bird but the only one of the early birds I ever wanted to train was Pidgeot so I probably won't bothe-
Talonflame- SWEET JESUS THAT IS AMAZING WHAT IS IT CALLED oh that's dumb
Gogoat- Alright, but with the new knowledge that you only ride rental pokemon & you can't just go around Kalos on your goat has made me lose interest.
Helioptile- Really like the concept, really hate the execution.
Kofukimushi- D'aawwww.
Spewpa- D'AAWWWW.
Vivillon- Really my favorite out of the butterfly/moth lines. Not as good as Spewpa, but I may have to train this one.
Noivern- Holy hell yes. I just hope that it's not an evo of Swoobat because A: my Swoobat is already lvl.100 & B: I want a third bat line so I can name it Eva & have all three of the best loli vampires.
Clauncher- Don't really like the face, but other than that this lil' guy is awesome. I kinda want him to be a version exclusive where the other game gets a Mantis Shrimp, though, because that's the only crustacean I would rather have & I can't see it evolving from him.
Skrelp- Rare Candy's a hell of a drug, ain't it Seadra? But it's ok, even if you are a meth'd-out seahorse, I'm here for you. TO REHAB! No Skrelp this isn't rehab this is Amsterdam what are you doing
Shishiko- HOLY CRAP LOOK AT THAT "look at what? what the hell are you talking about? stupid cat"
Furabebe- Oh, when I first saw it I thought that the flower was actually part of its body. Well, this both makes its existence excusable & makes its design way worse. Weird.
Legendaries- aaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh HELL YEAH (oh also they don't have confirmed types so Dark/Flying may be really awesome (just ask my Mandibuzz) but that might not be it at all)


And in other news I've started on my Book of Revelations team. Kingdra for Conquest, Rapidash for War, Sawsbuck for Famine, Zebstrika for Death, Hydreigon for Satan/Babylon, & Golem for Wormwood. Did you know that Geodude learns a lot of special Fire TM's? Because I just found that out giving Ponyta Flamethrower & it confuses the hell out of me.

Fletchling- Eh, it's a cool little bird but the only one of the early birds I ever wanted to train was Pidgeot so I probably won't bothe-

Other than that, pretty much agree with most of your opinions. Especially about the Mantis Shrimp. A Mantis Shrimp Poke'mon... just... yes. It might even be able to rival Galvantula as my fav. Pkmn. That and the fact that Eviolite, Dragon immune Blissey would be beast.

Also, forgot two:

Gogoat: Looks cool, but still... kinda... meh. Just not much opinion here. The fact that it can learn Horn Leech is kinda cool, I guess.

Mewtwo Awakened: While I'm not entirely sure how I feel about it's design, I quite like that they're giving M2 some love. It's always really bothered me how Pkmn always forgets about the legendaries of the last generations; I mean, what happened to Arceus? It's freakin' god... and, in Gen V, everybody pretty much forget It exists.
