Goronda - Pancham's evolved form.

Maika + Karamanero - Squid Pokemon! <3

Shushupu - Ugly looking thing... The "Perfume" Pokemon
Probably will evolve into a flamingo.

Peropuff - I see this turning into a cloud dog...

Additional Notes:

Xerneas is confirmed as a fairy type.
Yveltal is dark/flying

Pokemon exclusive to X: Clauncher, Peropuff
Pokemon exclusive to Y: Skrelp, Shushupu

Now I'm stuck. I like Peropuff but also like Skrelp :(

The only thing I can think of while looking through the pictures is: They are running out of ideas... lol

I do like the big bear though!
 
Well, in Spanish pero = dog, so a puffy/cloudy dog wouldn't be too far off the mark. But really, cloud-dog?

Where's my werewolf pokemon!

Because these Pokemon are so much less creative than a Pokeball with eyes, an assortment of eggs with eyes, or a pile of sludge with eyes. Each generation has Pokemon with simple designs and Pokemon with complex designs. Take off your notalgia goggles and enjoy each new slew of Pokemon on their own merit.
 
According to Serebii, Peropuff is the 'Cotton Candy' Pokemon. Iiiiiineteresting.

And the little bird is kinda weird.

I don't mind the squids, I love their typing. Dark/Psychic. Heehee.

Pancham's evo reminds me of Ursaring.
 
I like the panda and the squids

Not liking the two Y exclusive mons, but it still has the cooler legendary imo.

Cotton candy mon looks cute.

I never said all 1st Gen Pokemon were epic, I'm just saying I see an increasing number of Pokemon named and made after inanimate objects and I think it's getting silly. I mean seriously, we've gotten a sword and perfume Pokemon... what's next? SmartPhonemon? Paperclipmon? Carmon? Penmon? Garbo.. oh wait.

Can't speak for perfume, but Honedge is just the Pokémon-ization of longstanding monster myth/fantasy. Maybe one can appear in a Nintendo exclusive version of the next Soul Calibur game?

Ehh.. I dunno. Reality I'm just baffled there's a sword pokemon. I don't mind mixing things up... like maybe a Pokemon WITH a sword, or that cloud-dog thing, but having the Pokemon just be a living item is just boring to me.

I have to agree. I like it better when Pokemon are kind of like real animals or such. A sword Pokemon is just lame. Its just a bad a Voltorb and the ice cream cone Pokemon. but whatever I guess. There are bound to be some bad pokes.

I just want to know about the birds and the eeveelutions.

You like what you like, but frankly, your statement sounds backwards.

A living, Ghost/Steel sword is exciting, and was it not for Golurk it could even seem rather novel. A Pokémon just wielding a sword is... a Pokémon with a sword; I mean that's Pokémon Tool territory. Just take a Machoke and give him a sword.

Again though, you like what you like... your complaint just isn't making much sense to me.
 
I dunno. I had on my short list of likes (without knowing the stats): Yveltal, Pancham, Noivern, Honedge...but now that more info is out...

I think I prefer Xerneas over Yveltal. This is probably just me, but there are enough powerful Dark-types. Go with the Fairy. And it would be a good counter to all the Dragon Legendaries.

Pancham evolves into another tough-looking bear, akin to Ursaring or Beartic. Eh.

Noivern. Don't know much about it yet.

Honedge, on the other hand, I do like. It seems to be a hit and miss with people. It's a hit for me. :biggrin: I just hope it has good stats or redeemable attributes to make it playable.

Honorable mention to Talonflame. The name is cool, like a superhero or something. And the bird looks cool. Too bad it's going to be average. However, if it is indeed the "starting" bird, I could see myself using it for Fly, assuming that is still an HM.
 
Pokémon jumped the shark with character designs last set. a bunch a gears as a pokemon and Ice cream cones were so stupid you know that they were just made up to get a quota filled. So yes this next set of pokemon should be even worse. If the sword pokemon is an indication there will be a ton of really bad pokemon in this set.
 
I pretty much have loved all the Pokemon so far, or at least liked them. Honedge is really awesome and I'm quite excited for him!

I don't get the whole "Pokemon have to be animals" thing. They've never only been animals. Anyone remember Muk? He's a pile of pollution, for crying out loud. If that can be a Pokemon, why can't a possessed sword?
