SO. I got caught up in the heat of type matchups a little earlier, but I wrote the following before reading anything that anyone else posted, please bear with me.
Yveltal looks like it has high ATK(I see that a lot of people agree). Because of this, It certainly looks like they’ve found yet another way to create a statistical polar difference between the box legendaries (assuming that Yveltal’s Atk stat will be the same as Xerneas’ SpAtk, much like Lugia with Ho-oh and so forth. Yay) But what are they going to localize Death Wing into? I hope the American title for that attack doesn't get too pg-13
The new legendary abilities give them super STAB? Assuming that Fairy and Dark are super effective towards each other(I want to believe, excuse me if I start whining over disappointment in the future), there’s no point in Xerneas and myself fighting :\ Whoever hits first would win.
Didn’t somebody post a fake leak speculating that Xerneas and Yveltal had something to do with life and destruction or war and peace? I didn’t think something like that would have been easy to randomly guess, but w/e
Pangoro looks like he could be a burly anti hero, love him. I do hope that he makes even better use of his typing than Scrafty did, I want to see Pangoro in OU
Professy looks FAAAABulous. He kinda reminds me of a game shop owner, which makes sense if he's the kind of guy who will engage in battles regularily. He's just enjoying the benefits of being a Pokémon Prof, go him!
Peropuff and Shushup look like monsters out of the Kirby games, which is great. Does Shushup smell like perfume or something? I don’t quite understand where they’re coming from(after reading everything, the "witch/plague doctor" is a neat observation), but I’m happy that it’s a Y exclusive. The both of them further remind me of a conglomeration of Precure fairies, which makes me love the both of them even more, especially Shushup, who looks like Noise mixed with Chypre :DDD. Peropuff looks like a little toy poodle with a big goofy grin, it’ll be fun to play with in PokeAmie! To see it floating and bouncing around (CUUUUUTE, you’re all crazy for hating it). The fairies in general though, kind of disappoint me stylistically so far. I’d be elated if Shushup and Peropuff evolved into something that could be just as dainty as they are now, but exuded a more powerful magical air. I’m worried for the little cuties.
Inkay and Malimar are real. And they are AMAZAAAAH. Right off the bat, Malimar looks like it could be UU or BL, but I guess it depends on just how well it abuses stat changes or other effects that may be reversible, and how that would affect the meta. It doesn’t look like it will use its typing for offense, which I wouldn’t see as a problem since Psychic/Dark isn’t bad defensively.
The thing I dislike about new evolution methods is that they’re starting to become a part of the species’ gimmick like with Karrablast and Shelmet. On the other hand, if they do it right then it feels more like, “your Pokemon evolved because you raised it this way”, which Is what I’m especially hoping to see with Pancham.
I’m glad that the evil team is just a mafia once again. My first impression is that their desire for money may mean that somewhere along the line, they may try poaching rare Pokemon, which is where Xerneas/Yveltal may come in. Also I'm calling it now, they're going to spam Talonflame like Team Plasma spammed Patrat
