Newtwo

Is the name official?

It's a fan-term that's pretty popular on Tumblr. I doubt Game Freak would be that unoriginal. That being said I can envision the names "Xewtwo" or "Yewtwo" for it though (Perhaps even just Xew or Yew).

I wonder what's going to be the Lucario of this gen, Zoroark played that role for Gen V, who will this time?

Wasted opportunity in my opinion, could have made it look badass but naaahhh they instead went for the mewtwo +1 chromosome look

[Master]

Meh, it's an alternative forme.
Personally, I'd prefer it to be an alternative forme than a MewThree, there's something about adding yet another Mew that rubs me the wrong way.

[Serza5]

Meh still neutral about the thing. What'd be more interesting is what this form is supposed to represent? Perhaps it's another Keldeo where learning a signature move gives him new appearance (One of the moves in the video looked pretty new so it could be that).

[Keane]

Been slowly making progress with HeartGold. Is it just me or is Kanto inferior to Johto? Pokemon battles are pointless, several city's have nothing interesting in them, and most of the time you just go around long routes battling trainers endlessly.

[Serza5]

Typically Kanto is there so you can go through the whole Pokemon league challenge again; only HG/SS actually made it worth while as the Elite 4 + Lance actually becomes much stronger when re-challenging them. There's also super boss Red at Mt Silver to beat with lvl 80 pokemon. Can't say I've faced him though; I stopped playing at 16 badges.

EDIT: On another note Kanto has always been small; hence why there were even able to fit into G/S/C. Kanto has always been my least favourite region because of is, Kanto-Johto however I would say is superior to either region alone.

[Keane]

Hm. I see. I really wish they just kept normal Pokemon battles though. Why make them all around level 15? It's annoying because this makes the region more confusing, considering that there are a bunch of different gyms, although I suppose that doesn't seem to matter because Gym 4 has Level 50 Pokemon while Gym 7 has ranges from 40 - 45...

[Serza5]

Chances are you're just not doing them in the right order, can't say I know what such supposed order is either which is why we have Serebii.

I really should pick up the game, just recently knowing that beating Red gives you both the Hoenn and Kanto starters. >___>

Meh...if they are including it in the next game, then its probably going to be optional and I won't have to look at it
The body of the thing doesn't bother me. It's that tail thing on its head that rubs me the wrong way...and they tried to make mewtwo cute.

[Keane]

Yeah, I found that out. Not sure why they would have you start out as far as you can possibly away from the first gym.

[Serza5]

The body of the thing doesn't bother me. It's that tail thing on its head that rubs me the wrong way...and they tried to make mewtwo cute.

Considering that Mew is cute I don't see the problem with making it's clone "cute" too. Although I wouldn't call it cute, just not as butt ugly as Mewtwo.

[Bzzit]

But it just looks like a failed abortion version of mewtwo just like how ambibom was the tragicfrignewoman/hitler hybrid to the awesomely awesome aipom (greateast pokemon of all time)

[Master]

What has been seen...
But, seriously, I've never actually seen that comparison.

[Bzzit]

I made it it up. think it was in a debate when the opposition said it looked better than Aipom and most gen 1-2 pokemon...wut

[Master]

Well, it's properly confirmed, all those who had any doubts or wanted to debate on it, have now been corrected:

[Haruka]

It is indeed a Mewtwo form. At least it looks better than the half-Reshiram thing.

[Master]

Kyurem's White and Black formes?

[Haruka]

Yep. Or even some awkward evolutions like Lickylicky. Godness, how I hate this one.
