I love Zoroark, man.  Anybody can play the numbers game of Battle Poking Men, but Zoroark is something most people can't seem to handle, he just puts too much wine in front of you.  I think I've only been caught out once, and it wasn't a hard counter so no big, I didn't even die.

I also have choice specs and trick on mine so he can deal with those obnoxious late game stallers like Spike/Roost/Whirlwind skarmory.

I love choice+trick. If I had more choice items then I'd definitely get that combo on my team.

[Cthulhu]

You guys need to play the battle simulators.  I have everything for free.

Speaking of which, I know you hate Weavile, so you'll be glad to hear I just had a guy's Weavile use Beat up on my Justified Lucario.

Who else hates Pokemon X and Y? I know nothing but the trailer and the starter Pokemon have been released but in the trailer the gameplay looks so weird, Pokemon is not about graphics at all but once Nintendo tries so hard to get good graphics (makes 3D and stuff) they fail so hard, the character is taller than the whole terrain, and the character's head looks like a circle with no dips and bumps at all. And even though the character is very tall, it is also very short (I don't know how.), also, I analyzed the trailer a little bit and it seems that you can only move north west east and south, no northwest or anything, I don't know how that works in a 3D game, one more thing, the character's eyes look very creepy.

Now, the starter pokemon, Chespin is just a beaver with a hat, how original. Fennekin is just a fennec fox and Froakie is just a frog. Also, why on Earth is the name after letters? It's going to be like this:

- Pokemon X and Y
- Pokemon Z
- Now I know my ABC's.

It's believed the names are letters in order to refer to the axis of a 3d coordinate model.

Also I have absolutely no problem with gen 6 so far

Squirtle is just a turtle.  RBY for worst games in history.

The awesome thing about the 3D pokemon games is the 3D part. The giant pokemons are giant, the small ones are small, and you get nifty new animations for all of the moves you'd previously only seen in 2d sprite form. But they're all battle. If you get bored of battle (and don't have any new pokemon to do it with), theres no point to them anymore (except for the Stadium games, which had minigames, and XD/Darkness, which had a story to finish).

The mainline Pokemon games have plenty to do, you have the running (or flying or surfing), and random probably not terribly great sidegame to replace the contest/pokeathlon/musical, and the gyms, and an evil team who is probably not a slightly more/less competent team rocket in disguise, and some other things. If you add the 3D to it on the 3DS which has a better capabilities (somewhat), you get a pretty decent compromise.

What the hell was he expecting?

In his defense it was a switch-in, but still, lel.

Seriously, I'm not sure where people are getting the 'running out of ideas' vibe from the new Pokemon designs. Remember Rattata? Voltorb? Magikarp? They're just a rat, a Pokeball, and a carp. Not even with hats! Every generation has its failures and boring designs. Every generation has its standouts.

As for the character being taller than the terrain, that's always been the case. Look at the ledges in previous games and tell me they're not waist-high cliffs. That's what they look like to me. The giant spheroid head? Welcome to stylization. It's been around since RBY. There's no main character in any main series game that's had a realistically proportioned sprite.

[Cthulhu]

Ugh, man.  That free +6 Lucario is basically the only good thing that's happened to me playing Pokemon in fucking days.  For a while I was winning almost every game, then suddenly I can't do anything.  Nothing hits, Hidden Power is the stupidest thing I've ever seen, why have a tight rock-paper-scissors balance if half the rocks have a pair of scissors in their pocket?  Also nothing hits.  I think I've had like two misses in my favor in the past week.  If I can't afford to miss, I miss.  If I bring moves that don't miss, I don't get the OHKO and die anyway.

My first Pokemon game was Ruby, and yes, it was a circle head, but since it wasn't 3D, it didn't bother me, the graphics were actually better, but now in X and Y it looks like one giant pixel.

Look at the Japanese logos for X and Y.  See the double helix?  Think X and Y chromosomes.

I really think the whole 3D + weird angles thing distorts the look of the game a lot, but at least the battles look decent. The Pokémon models are surprisingly well-done and look much better than sprites.

No. Are you serious? I didn't mention how horrible the battles look like, if you look closely at when Fennekin does that fire move, the fire isn't actually coming out of its mouth, it's coming out of its chest, the models are very ugly.
