Ummm... that's a hard one, for starters, it evolves from a pokemon with the weakest (or one of the weakest) stats of all time, but I really don't know why game freak made such a worthless pokemon :p

possibly as the novelty pokemon to show off the new stone, and to have a grass type. They weren't to into the competitive field as they are now so Sunflora would be decent if it was the only grass type you have. GF had more competition with the TCG at the time than they did with the handhelds because it was hard to run proper tornaments back then. (I went to one at a toys r us long ago.)

I challenge someone to beat the Elite Four with just a Sunflora. The Sunflora can't be over level 70 no wait, level 50! I don't care which game you do it in. GO!!!

What's Sunflora's excuse then? :p
Uhh...

"Generic Grass type that needs the newly introduced sunstone to evolve." xD I dunno.

Just keep in mind that Pokemon is mostly developed for the game itself and only partially for the competitive scene. Pokemon with weaker base stats appear in the first route of the game, for instance, because they are easier to fight and grind against, and as the player progresses, the pokemon he/she faces also become more powerful or unique.

this might seem like a silly question,

The new legionaries are going to be X && Y yes ?

I would assume the third pokemon for that trio would be 'Z'

Anyone seen or heard anything about that ?

If you have both Xerneas and Yveltal, and they are both on the same level, you can tribute them both to access the overlay network, then you can XYZ Summon the Z Pokémon, Zekrom, Zequezal, DNA Overlord of Ultimate Evolution.

that sounds awfully close to a Yu-Gi-Oh type "summon" :p

Are you sure this is there plans or is it just a rumor ?

I think he's joking...

And yes, there is a 34643% chance we will have a Z pokemon anyways, just too much like game freak.

I am not too sure about a 'Z' Pokemon though. The X and Y seem to do much more with genetics and DNA than Dimensions like people previously thought. My main argument on that is the logos themselves...

Notice the genetic helix that is rainbow colored in the logo there. It is small, but it is there. Now, that simple little symbol says a few things to me on first glance. One, it is a genetic helix, that is the big thing for me. The fact that they wanted a DNA related symbol in the logo itself tells me that DNA/Genetics are going to be a rather large deal here. My next observation is not related to genetics or the theme of the game, but I did notice that the symbol is rainbow colored and is shining with somewhat of a glow coming off of it. That is another thing that leads me to believe we will be seeing a light type soon (a rainbow is the light spectrum and the symbol is glowing with light). They would want something like that in the logo due to it being the first new type in such a long time, but this is STILL just speculation on my part, and I can (and most likely will) be totally wrong.
Back to the Genetics theory though. Mind you, this is the first generation to give a separate form to a pokemon from a previous generation. Notice the Pokemon they chose here was Mewtwo, the Genetic Pokemon himself. In fact, given his reputation as the Genetic Pokemon, I wouldn't be surprised if HE was the third legendary, but I do find that highly unlikely (Game Freak and Nintendo usually have something cool in store for the third main legend).


Now, the old theory was that X and Y stood for the 2D dimensions due to the game being released on the 3DS, while the 3rd game would be a Z version to represent the 3rd dimension. BUT, Xerneas radiated rainbows and Yveltal's underside lights up like a neon sign. They don't really have much to do with the dimensional planes.


Now that I am thinking about all of this again, Yveltal reminds me of a Virus cell (not computer virus for those of you wondering). Think about it, Viruses attach themselves usually with some kind of legs and even microscopic barbs sometimes. Here we have a Wyvern pokemon who kind of resembles an amoeba when looked on from underneath, and has claws on each appendage to (I am guessing) attach himself to things.

What if, and this is a LONG shot, but what if Yveltal is a Virus, while Xerneas is an Antibody?


And finally (now that I went on a long, boring rant that 9 times out of 10 most of you quit reading a while ago), the final, third legend to complete the trio. I am stumped myself. I really have no clue. Saying it will be a 'Z' Pokemon would be the best shot, but given the games' ties to genetics already, I am not even remotely sure what kind of legendary we have in store for us right now.


EDIT: While I am here, I wanted to share a thought I had today. What comes first... The edition name or the representative legendary? Did Ho-Oh already have his position as a game mascot before the game was named Gold Version? Was Dialga created only because his game was already named Diamond version? I was just wondering which of the two comes first, and which of the two is the most influential?


Are pokemon created specifically to be mascots, or are some of the creations just so good that they name a game after them...

Yeah, I was parodying Yu-Gi-Oh, that's why I made up a name like Zequezal, DNA Overlord of Ultimate Evolution, because Yu-Gi-Oh has long names and titles often. Been watching Yu-Gi-Oh Zexal a little, each player has to XYZ Summon like 3 times per game, so it was easy to remember and fresh in my mind, and you set up the perfect opportunity to bring it up, I couldn't resist...

@hyde9318: I never compared the rainbow glow of the helices with the possibility of a Light type before. Lots of people think Sylveon will be Light type, I really think that's possible. Yveltal does kind of look like a virus now that you mention it. Hmmm... POISON LEGEND! If Xerneas is it's opposite, then...that shiny light, means LIGHT LEGEND. Light is super effective against Poison. That's my conclusion...

@hyde

I understand how your get the genetics part of the game, but let's, for a moment, think that they are JUST letters, or, more specifically coordinates.

X is is the coordinate that goes left and right while Y is up and down, that would make two dimensions, but this is on the 3DS, which is 3 dimensions. Z is the coordinate that measures depth that makes the third dimensions. I'm just saying this because it does make sense, since this is the first 3D main pokemon game (note the word: MAIN)

But even if you think of genetics, there are some genetic disorders that would add a third chromosome along with the X and Y, but that doesn't make it a Z chromosome. In the end, if you look at it, it would only make sense if the third pokemon would be shaped like a Z, maybe it's a snake, or some bizarre digimon-looking creature, but you just can't ignore that it only makes sense to complete the pattern like that.

A few exceptions would be that crystal has little to do with gold and silver or how platinum wouldn't be what comes to mind when you here diamond and pearl, which are even number generations 2 and 4, X and Y makes 6 so they might just do it again

Unless we get X 2 and Y 2, then I'm not going to play pokemon anymore.

(I'm just saying what I think, I'm guessing you won't agree completely, but I think I should get this information out of my head)

Edit: come to think of it, my money is on X and Y 2

He mad, but he cute :kaopride:

Our latest feature is an interview with... me?!

People4_2 (Capelet off and on) added!

Just beat the last of us 2 last night and starting jedi: fallen order right now, both use unreal engine & when I say i knew 80% of jedi's buttons right away because they were the same buttons as TLOU2 its ridiculous, even the same narrow hallway crawl and barely-made-it jump they do. Unreal Engine is just big budget RPG Maker the way they make games nearly identical at its core lol.
Can someone recommend some fun story-heavy RPGs to me? Coming up with good gameplay is a nightmare! I was thinking of making some gameplay platforming-based, but that doesn't work well in RPG form*. I also was thinking of removing battles, but that would be too much like OneShot. I don't even know how to make good puzzles!
