Dex Speculation/Discussion Thread [READ THE FIRST POST FOR UPDATES]

Still loving Pumpkaboo...
Do we know if it's a version exclusive?

I asked this a couple of pages back. The answer was that they are in both versions.

I thought it was strange, but as a Grass-type lover, I'm not complaining!

Dammit, was hoping I could own everyone with my version exclusive Pumpkaboo...
It's adorable.

True, but it makes me very happy for my planned Grass monotype!

Do we know yet what's up with Noivern? It seems as if no one has reached it yet ._.
Also, does Florges' colour change depending on the flower colour?
It seems strange to have its pre-evos have the distinction and not Florges itself.

Speaking of Gorgiest did we really need two pokemon whose names were a pun of gorgeous in the same game Florges and Gourgeist .... not to mention Gorbyss ahahhahah

Is the artwork for Chesnaught, Greninja and Delphox official?
Makes me like them and Carbink a lot more.

it's not official as they haven't been revealed officially yet. i also like pumpkaboo and it's typing is pretty interesting.

People are complaining about only around 70 Pokemon, but I think that's a high number. Especially since so many Pokemon are underused and forgotten about. I think this generation seems like it's trying to bring around those Pokemon forgotten about, and encourage people to use them. There's no point introducing new Pokemon, investing in time to design them, when a lot of them will just be forgotten about too.
70 isn't a small number either. I think what most people are bothered about is that many have already leaked. If CoroCoro had only shown a couple of Pokemon, when people buy the game (or watch these streams etc. of people playing before release), they would have been happy with all the new Pokemon.

Besides, I wonder if some of the new Pokemon won't be obtainable until post-game. It's possible that some pre-evolutions or new Pokemon are just waiting to be bred/caught after you've finished the game. It'd make sense if there's little to do post-game. It would be a nice surprise to suddenly come across some new Pokemon when you think you've evolved/caught all available.

It's name is more likely to be a combination of gourd (fleshy many seeded fruit - pumpkin) and poltergeist.

It's apparently a Caterpie/Weedle situation, where Pumpkaboo/Gorgeist are more common in one game (I think X), whereas Phantump/Trevanent are more common in the other game.

Also, does Florges' colour change depending on the flower colour?

I think it's a case of people having not seen enough Florges to be able to tell whether or not there are differences.

We do, if you look at the Florges image it's menu sprite in the Pokédex has red petals not yellow.

Or there is nothing new to show about it, so they saw no point in catching it?

If we don't get many new pokemon. I'm hoping all my old favorite get in to the game. *Pikachu and his cheeky friends all did XD*

Dude..there is going to be 90-100 New Pokemon as there are so many spaces left..

 

[IMACHARIZARDGUY]

Well looking at the pic, I am intrigued.

Don't really like flabebes final it looks ruined. Claunchers final looks nice as does skelp.

The supposed pseudo legendary looks alright to me. It goes well with the other one, noivern.

The pumpkin one is good and honehedges final

Now by this count we are on 67, so that leaves us with two more pokemon and one legendary or the rest being legendary according to all the 70 pokemon rumour.

If so looking at the list I can at least make 3/4 sets of good teams so I'm not fussed and that's without megas or old pokemon

I'll be happy if Growthlite and Vulpix be in it. lol Anyway we still have 67 Pokemon right now. I thinking they might be 80

The rumor never said exactly 70, I don't know where you took that from. It was an estimative, it's around that.

It doesn't mean they will all be filled with new Pokémon.

Considering the rest of the Dex, it's very unlikely.

Yeah I forgot about Noivern. one pseudo-legendary dragon wasn't enoug, they had to make two of them in the same game. They really want to try making tournament with less dragon?
