Plus the typings fit exactly, and I'm not sure that they'd have 2 families with the same rather exotic typing in the same generation. (I'm not sure that they've actually done this before)

They've been done at least once before in gen 4 when Stunky and Skuntank were Poison/Dark and so was Drapion...Anyway, like I always do, I love every pokemon that's been shown, I've never ever disliked a pokemon (I wonder if that's a world record? lol...I've even been quoted about it it seems)...I also like that the leaked source seems to be given more credibility which is mainly exciting because it would mean NO MORE FIRE/FIGHTING FIRE STARTER THIRD EVO!!!

I do have one question though the corocoro seems to say that Pancham will evolve with a new method...If we assume, the leak is true and he evolves when there's a dark type in the party, won't this NOT be a new method? Mantyke evolves when you have a Remoraid in the party....Anyhoo, I'm still super excited and can't wait to get X!!

I'm okay with inanimate objects coming to life, except the Klink line, and we haven't really had many food-based pokémon. The cotton-candy mon just seems goofy because of his eyes and his tail (which looks like a cotton candy stick - obvi), but it looks better when it's battling and I'll decide on if I like it if it gets an evo.

I accept (accept not like) whatever GF creates, but we are definitely allowed to voice our opinion on them, some just go too far and rage about it instead of giving a well-thought out reply.

I'm totally not raging in any way, I just want people to try and see things in a different way. I'm cool with anyone voicing their opinion bc that's what makes us unique.

Oh I'm not saying you're raging, friend! :) I'm saying that when people voice their opinion on certain mons (particularly inanimate object ones) they rage hard.
 
Shushupu is clearly a plague doctor, between the face, healing theme and perfume theme, which is amazing. I always wanted one as a pokemon, and this might be the first cute, pink, fluffy pokemon I'd consider team material. Of course, its evolution could possibly be a lot more menacing, who knows?

The squid is flawless. We needed a squid pokemon since the beginning, and this incorporates everything cool about the Teuthidae. It has the transparent, bioluminescent look of deep-sea species, and it's awesome how it stands and walks on its fins, leaving the tentacles free for battling. Dark/psychic is the perfect type combo for one, too.

Now that we know Skrelp and Clauncher are version exclusives, I get the sad feeling they may be non-evolving one-off wimps, but we'll see. I'll still use Skrelp if that's the case.

okay phew! I don't ever want to come off as raging bc that's takes too much energy that I don't even have lol

Though I do want to say that Goronda is a freaking beast!

Majority of the version exclusive Pokémon have been able to evolve in the past. I also hope they evolve; as for Clauncher, I think he will at least have one evolution (like Krabby and Corphish).

whoops, forgot Stuntank/Drapion
but either way, I'm pretty sure that the squids will be Inkay/Malimar

for the Pancham evolving thing, it could be considered new - we've had the whole Mantyke/Remoraid case, but correct me if I'm wrong, don't the leaks say that Pancham has to be mid-30 to evolve? And there's no level requirement for Mantyke.
And evolving with a specific type in the party is kinda new (I'm betting it will be explained as tho the Dark in the party teaches Pancham the ways of being mean or somethin)

I hadn't realized this, but you're right. I'd love for it to become a sinister Fairy/Dark plague doctor. Or even Fairy/Poison, like a... reverse doctor. Or something.

The squids look amazing, I LOVE the cotton candy Pokemon (was worried we wouldn't get any weird inanimate objects this gen but this and Honedge have put those fears to rest!), and Pancham's evolution looks all right. Not spectacular, but could've been much worse. I'm a little sad that Clauncher's an Xclusive though... Since I'm getting Y... >n> But I'm sure I'll find someone to trade with.

Oh, and the legendary types, finally! Fairy is what I expected for Xerneas, and Dark/Flying was obvious for Yveltal (though I personally thought it'd be pretty boring; I'll get used to it I suppose).

And I am super happy that the evil team is just out for the money. Very Team Rocket-esque. The world-domination-using-legendaries theme was getting really old.
Watch them still do that out of nowhere though
 
Overall pretty cool and this further makes me want X version. Pangoro is about what I was expecting. I don't really care for it or Pancham, but the Pangoro is kind of cool with the cape/coattails. I like how the cotton candy is cute and looks more like some animal/monster and isn't derpy. The squids are badass. The perfume bird is pretty cool and I hope that it evolves into a true bipedal/anthropomorphic plague doctor. I'm not really impressed by the evil team. Sure I like how they're just out for crime again, but the designs just seem so bland and obviously fire typed. I wonder if they'll have a counterpart?

The tree is correct. It's a tree that you will see a lot in France along with Oaks.

Grass- Xerneas has been pictured in forests multiple times (trailers, 3DS Covers, etc).

By that logic Zubat is a Rock/Dark type.

How is malimar using hypnosis on pangoro?
Click to expand...
Because status moves aren't effected by type immunities. For example: Foresight is a Normal moves used pretty much exclusively to hit Ghost types.

Therefore, when humans so a Vanilite,Rotom,etc they got the idea to make modern day items based off those pokemon.
Click to expand...
The part about ice cream is correct, but Rotom couldn't have inspired modern day items because it inhabits them instead of being/becoming them so the items therefore had to have come first.

Mantyke evolved when a specific species of Pokemon was in the party. Pancham will probably evolve with just a certain type in the party.
Now that we know Skrelp and Clauncher are version exclusives, I get the sad feeling they may be non-evolving one-off wimps, but we'll see. I'll still use Skrelp if that's the case.

I don't know why you think that. Young/incomplete/weak/whatever looking designs aside, most version exclusives evolve, so this isn't some sort of pattern that can give you this assumption.
 
I have mixed feelings.

The types, I like the typing, they are fair, I am getting Y.

Gorondo MUST be a stage 2. At least I want Pancham now.

Maika and evolution: Meh. Nothing bad, yet nothing that good. THEORY! This pokemon must be a certain level and then must be turned upside down on the 3ds. Notice how the tentacles on Maika are on the bottom, and the tentacles on evolution in the top... same with the head.

Don't get me started of Shushupu. I dislike it.

Now, the team is original, I may like them, the professor is confirmed, and I am not getting this for sure.
 
"DNA, stay up and watch the Corocoro leaks!"
"No way. I have to sleep."

One sleep later...

It appears that X and Y appear to now revolve around Life and Death...or more specifically Creation and Destruction.

Team Flair is as French as it gets. But it also sounds familiar...

"Steal Pokemon for profit!
Exploit Pokemon for profit!
All Pokemon exist for the glory of Team Rocket Flair!"

As for Maaiiga -> Karamanero's evolution method about rumored to be turning your 3DS upside down, that definitely seems to be possible, if you notice their body shapes.

No news on Honedge evolving, though. If it doesn't, I'll be pretty sad.
 
I actually really like the Cotton Candy Pokemon. It kind of makes up for not having Skrelp on X. Kind of.
 
The more information that comes out for these games, the more positive I am that the overall theme will be life and death. First and foremost, Yveltal has a move called Death Wing. Secondly, the version exclusives for Y are sinister; Skrelp is just menacing and deathly looking while Shushupu is based on a plague doctor.

X isn't quite as obvius yet regarding the life theme, but in general Fairies are seen as life-giving and healing and the version exclusives at least look more...lively I suppose. Xerneas is always pictured in a bright forest theme though which can be seen as a symbol of life. I'm interested to see how the plot works these themes in.
 
I wonder if Team Flare is an Pokemon Y exclusive? It makes sense, Pokemon Y's color seems to be red. Would be cool to have another Team Magma/Aqua situation again.

They look a bit more orange than red to me, but that would be pretty awesome. The main reason I can't see it happening is that you'd think they'd get revealed at the same time.
Then again, Pansage was revealed some time before the other two...

Based on what looks like gems in Zakuro's hair and the rock climbing hook thingy, it seems like we're getting yet another Rock gym?
 
Holocaster and Shitoron. The fan base is going to have a ball with those names.
 
One thing I've been disappointed in the releases so far is the fact that, besides Sylveon, we haven't seen any new evolutions or pre-evos for old pokemon. It would be kinda mean (IMO) if they make Sylveon the only one because ever since they released Sylveon early, it had given me hope that more pokemon would get evos. PARTICULARY, my little one stage buddies who are overlooked cuz they're "weak" ie Spinda, Farfetch'd etc....I really hope that they start showing some soon, it would be awesome if it's like Gen 4 and has a LOT of prior pokemon get evos/prevos...One can wish, eh?
 
I think that Zakuro is a rock type gym leader because of his hair and the rock climbing equipment, the only other type I could see him be is a dark type gym leader with the gems in his hair being reminiscent of the ones on sableye's back and the equipment could be used to explore the dark caves which are well dark and where you happen to find sableye
