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

[dss_live]

Any new yet on how Phantump and Pumpkaboo evolve?

 

[shadowF]

Are there any pokemon that have a possibility of being retyped to fairy that can stand up to pseudo legendary dragons?

This is not a pokemon that is retyped to being fairy but can Florges and Sylveon stand up to pseudo legendary dragons?

Not that I've heard. But I hope at least one of them gets a dusk stone evolve method.

I'm sorry, MuhFugginMoose, I misread your post and thought you were asking me that question. XD

Haha, it's fine. It happens.
I just think it's funny reading everyone arguing about this.

I actually just recently, Nov. or so of last year, finished up my study on the book. Not for school, just because I felt like it. xD
And when I saw Xerneas, I just knew it was mostly based on the story of Yggdrasil.
Clearly, since this is based in an European environment, there's going to be European influences.
What better way to do that than good ol' Nordic Mythology?

It's Goodra,pure dragon.

That's what i was afraid of -_-

What better way to do that then good ol' Nordic Mythology.

Greek Mythology is the best imho, but that's personal preference

Better as in it's a better read?
Or is more fitting?

France is more so Germanic than Greek influenced.

Greek Mythology is really great, but I love Egyptian and Aztec myths.
I think there's so much you can do with all of them!

I enjoy that we can argue about this. It's nice to see the different opinions and thoughts people have on the matter.

I've gotten as far as (what I remember to be) the tricking of the Northern King (I've forgotten his name) by the AEsir. I enjoyed the events that led to the creation of the Universe. The names and the imagery were quite potent. I can't wait to get back into it. I just have to find my .pdf again... Northvegr.org removed theirs when they updated their website years ago, and the wayback machine wasn't all that useful in getting the lot of them.

I like the Goomy line, but I am kinda disappointed they are the Psuedos of this Gen. ._. I would have preferred it being at least secondary Poison, or even Fairy. Oh well, at least it's not a third Dragon/Flying. ^^

 

[Steampunk]

I also gotta say that I'm glad that we got a pure dragon type 3 stage pokemon line.

 

[Photonkrios95]

At which level does it learn Camouflage?

The leaker with Y caught it and it had Camoflague there and then, he fished for it with Good Rod if that helps with a level range to narrow it down.

Any other pokemon rideable beside rhyhorn,gogoat and mamoswine?I'd love to ride a Tyrantrum.

Skiddo is rideable, I don't think anything outside of that has been found yet.

Hello, fellow Pokémon trainers.

What is new today in this splendid and mysterious region of Kalos?

New Move Called Trick-Or-Treat That Turns The Oppenents Pokemon Into A Ghost Type. No Joke.

The stags? As in all four put into one? As in Xerneas?
Have you ever read the Poetic Edda?

I have read parts of it, and I do understand what you are saying about Xerneas being based on the four stags, but what I'm asking is what relation Hræsvelgr has to them because I don't know of any, and as far as I'm aware, the eagle at the top of Yggdrasil is a separate entity. Hræsvelgr is a giant. With Reshiram and Zekrom, there was yang and yin, respectively (clearly linked). With Dialga and Palkia, there was a less-squicky Izanagi and Izanami (clearly linked). With Groudon and Kyogre, there was Behemoth and Leviathan (clearly linked). I would not think of the Yggdrasil stags and Hræsvelgr as being "clearly linked" as much as I would, say, the Yggdrasil stags and the Yggdrasil eagle.

 

[Regality]

That's what i was afraid of -_-

Good luck making it look menacing in your picture!

 

[Regalia]

How far as Josh gotten now? Did he find out anything interesting last night?

 

[Heartlessangel17]

XD you got that right. I was hoping we would have a none-Dragon Psudo this gen, but instead we are left with a PURE Dragon type...not even a cool dual typing...-_- Sigh.

Hræsvelgr is a giant that "disguises" itself as an eagle.
Some speculate that it is the eagle that sits atop the tree of Yggdrasil, who is in constant conflict with the dragon Nidhoggr who resides at the base of the tree, as the two greatly envy each other. They exchange insults through the squirrel Ratatosk, who runs up and down the tree.
That squirrel, I'm hoping to see by the way.

Haha aww yeah that is a little unfortunate.
Still, I always really get into the personalities of my pokemon, and I think any pokemon can be threatening or powerful, beautiful or creepy depending on the interpretation
I'm sure you can get a butt kicking Goodra if it's got a good movepool and egg moves.

It might be the 'fairy' legendary~! Well, that, or Dedenne. @.0
