Big news on 1/8/13 - Pokemon X and Y

I wonder how the battle system will configure this feature of being stronger when your Pokemon likes you more through a "bonding" manner.

I hope it only effects the story mode/in game battles- this will really throw off the battle mechanics as it is in the competitive scene.

Unless I read the article incorrectly, looks as if we might need to rethink how the competitve scene will have this added feature since most of us do not "bond" with a Pokemon after breeding it for battles. Breed, hatch, EV, level it to 50 asap- battle ready. Not much for "bonding" time ................

I think bonding is a good idea and make the game seem real. Although I wonder how it works with a traded Pokemon and stuff. It really could give an opponent an unfair advantage.

I really want to see some new eeveelutions.

 

[PkmonMaster]

^I was looking at some fan art and some new cool eeveelution ideas are out there.

They are mono-water.

Well I guess that was a dead give away that I am not all up on the games. Thanks for the correction.

Yes, I'm a bit curious about this as well. What happens if you have a strong bond with one pokemon by leveling it up, etc and then you want to try to grow a bond with a newly hatched pokemon ... does the original one lose it's bond with you as you work on the next one?

But... But... X and Y aren't colours!

Just noticed this post. Not very observant am I?

To be honest, diamond and pearl aren't really colours either though. I suppose an argument could be proposed for emerald though.

Just saw the video, and I must say, it looks awesome.

But is it just me, or does Chespin look like a brown Oshawott with a greet spikey hat?

i thought the same thing :lol:

but its much cooler and hopefully stronger

Did you hear about the new eeveelution, Slyveon?

 

[PkmonMaster]

Yeah I had a feeling that they were going to make another eeveelution!
