Well, Talonflame might not look that unique but it has a unique typing for a generic bird. I'm not as disappointed. Skrelp is weird in a cool way, and Clauncher is a crab which is always good. Now I can have a three Pokemon crabteam.

Sky Battles better not just be normal battles that are restricted to Pokemon with flying/levitate.

Horde encounters could be pretty cool. It does answer the "Why do wild Pokemon always try to 1v1 you?" question.

tl;dr - Don't watch it if you like things to make sense.

Another note: They're hilariously bad at scale. Lt. Surge literally varied between six and ten feet tall. Pikachu goes between six inches and three feet. A crazy Team Rocket drill machine will be the size of a compact car, and then everyone will be fighting atop it as if it were twice the breadth of an M1 Abrams.

Ash is still one of the worst Pokemon trainers I've ever heard of during actual battles, though manages to be an alright guy. Brock is the main source of humor until he leaves after 4th gen. After that, most of my amusement came from the sheer inconsistencies of object sizes. Seriously, watch that shit. Background people can be 20 feet tall and nobody gives them a second look.

Clauncher is a crab

Not a crab. A pistol shrimp. Which is an actual real life shrimp that shoots 4700°C shockwaves from its pistol claw to hunt fish.

This happened because bizarre and terrifying sealife is to Japanese children what dinosaurs were to us growing up.

Pistol Shrimp.

PLEASE have a signature move.

[penguinofhonor]

Okay, pistol shrimp are pretty fucking cool.

NEW POKEMONS! All names are Japanese unless noted otherwise.

Shishiko, a fire/normal cat thing:

Furabebe, which looks like a fairy/grass type:

Vivilon's pre-evolutions. The middle one is Spewpa (confirmed English name), and the worm thing is Kofukimushi.

I am ... considerably shocked that the Fairy-type thing is true.

As am I!

Huh. Talonflame looks kinda different from this angle.

Those three kids shown above are the new iteration of your rivals, along with the opposite gendered character. Wow they're just adding one extra every gen now.

Also out of those two ladies the one on the right is a bug type gym leader

[Aklyon]

Wow they're just adding one extra every gen now.

Eventually everyone will be your rival, and then the eye contact trainer battle thing will finally make perfect sense.

[Silfurdreki]

Clauncher being a pistol shrimp is officially awesome.

Krelp is also based on something totally awesome. Anyone up for a bet that its evo is something along the lines of the Weedy Seadragon's slightly more pimped out relative, the Leafy Seadragon?

[Furtuka]

Is anyone else disturbed that Furabebe is grabbing onto one of the reproductive organs of the flower?

[penguinofhonor]

English names!

Furabebe is Flabébé. In addition, it can be holding various different colors of flower. This is merely an aesthetic change.
Shishiko is Litleo, and its signature move is Noble Roar.
Vivillon's first pre-evolution is Scatterbug, which evolves into Spewpa.

Spoiler: Spewpa is adorable (click to show/hide)

Yeah, that's my thread. When everyone started posting XY here instead of there, I just went along with it.

[Furtuka]

*shrug*

I figured putting it all in here reduces clutter
