Crappy screenshots from the video

Dang, almost considered naming my Ragnaros. "BY FIRE BE PURGED!"

This is making it so hard to choose between Froakie and Fennekin

Well...

[spoil]If you get a Froakie, you will be able to trade for a Fennekin with one of your rivals after the League.[/spoil]

I know that,I also have a brother whos getting both X And Y..But its more special when you start off with your first starter in a new game

 

[Pamizard]

Even though im getting froakie, and that u can get the weaker starter later on, im still going to get Fennekin off the GTS hopefully and breed it

 

[Lonely Nature Mew]

Still holding with my "I'm going with Fennekin" thing. I'm a dragon/psychic/ghost/fairy type trainer. He/She/It will fit right in. Plus, look how adorable it is!

does it have a good nature or is it random?

 

[Sukiza]

wait a sec, is it still using the wand? lol this surprising turn makes me have to choose between chespin and fennekin.. i bet he hides his staff below his dress ? ^^

We don't know yet. Probably it will have a set nature, like the most recent in-game trades.

I'm sure the wand will change a lot of peoples minds!

I didn't care to much for the wand thing, but seein Delphox in motion has really changed my view of it. In the video it doesn't show where the wand exactly comes from, but it's an area in the dress, either way its way cool

 

[PMG]

what is the base power for Mystical Fire and Water Shuriken? also how much damage does Spikey Shield do to physical attackers?

60 and 15*2-5, respectively. And I assume that spiky shield does 12.5% damage like Rough Skin.

Guys, we finally know a Dark-type move learned by Greninja!

Yeah, it's Thief... but surely it will get some other useful moves, like Faint Attack or Sucker Punch.

oh they seem a bit.... of a let down lol guess I will stick with Fire Blast, and Waterfall/Hydro Pump unless they have some cool effects?

Spikey Shield seems good for a protect style move at least

Forget thief,
Mat block looks like it's gonna be amazing in doubs.

Hm. Mat block sounds....interesting.

 

[Taodragon]

Greninja seems pretty varied, Mat Block sounds good.

Greninja's move has priority btw.

 

[Mav-san]

Is there already a Dex entry for Greninja?

 

[Gipauchii]

Image of a male Delphox, apparently not much of a gender difference:

You know, I never understood why people complained so much about the feminine look for Fennekin's line. It's like the players think their masculinity will be compromised and ruined if they use a Pokemon that doesn't look like it's been injected with multitudes of testosterone.

 

[IMACHARIZARDGUY]

The starters look a lot better now that i've gone away and removed all the bull complaining etc on the forums.

As stand alone pokemon they look very good and are actually all pretty decent. I'd rate the collective trio as 3rd best out of all of them as a whole

Delphox looks great with the wand.

Greninja looks awesome

Just waiting on Chesnaught's video / gameplay now

 

[Patraic]

Where is the delphox video with the wand?
