Pokemon X and Y--New Element

[DBoyWheeler]

Did you hear the latest news?

Sylveon's type in Pokemon has been revealed, and it's a new type!  (Just as Gold/Silver/Crystal debuted Dark and Steel, Pokemon X and Y debut a new element).

It's the Fairy Type.  It does extra damage to Dragon Types.

Sylveon is Fairy Type, and now (just as Magnemite and Magneton went from pure Electric to Electric/Steel), at least three of some previous Pokemon are part Fairy type.

Marill is now Water/Fairy
Jigglypuff is now Normal/Fairy
and Gardevoir is now Psychic/Fairy

Adds a new spin on things, eh?

I am much more interesting in the 3D overhaul and hope that the combat will be a bit more dynamic, visually.

I've done quite a bit of competitive Pokemon battling over the years, so it'll be interesting to see how this shakes up the metagame. It all really hinges on what fairy's resists and other coverage turns out to be. Ice is super effective against Dragon too, but Ice types are so piss-poor defensively (plus a weakness to stealth rock) that they're rarely ever used.

Love that Gardevoir is getting a buff though. Finally something to differentiate it from other Psychics. Also usable secondary STAB for Azumarill could be great.

Sadly battles are still boring turn based nonsense, but the game looks good. Really impressed with all the 3DS games they announced, might just have to get one.

Watch Dogs, The Division, MGSV, Destiny, Mirror's Edge 2. Lots of cool games are coming.

Oh yeah, massive list of awesome games. I'm not a big racing fan, but The Crew has really got me interested as well as the games you listed Armageddon. I haven't played a Pokemon game is such a long time. I think the last one I played was Pokemon Yellow :S. But you know from what I've seen of X/Y it might get me give Pokemon another shot. I really want to find out what they are showing on Telltales new game The Wolf Among Us but haven't come across anything yet. Great E3 so far.
