Honedge Evolution Revealed!

[Demelza]

On Monday afternoon the official Pokémon Facebook page promised to reveal a brand new Pokémon to us today. Well, the Pokémon has now been revealed to be the evolved form of Honedge known as, Doublade.

​

Doublade keeps the Ghost and Steel typing of Honedge and keeps Honedge's ability as well. It's best known for being able to attack with its two blades by telepathically coordinating them.

Not a big fan of the name (which doesn't exactly roll of the tongue), or the fact that Game Freak decided to go down the 'more of the same' route. Admittedly, Doublade is probably based on decoratively hanging two swords on a wall, but I'd like to have seen something a bit more creative.

I think I'm the only person here who really likes the design, even if it is just another one of those Dugtrio/Magneton things.

I quite like the idea of the two blades telepathically coordinating their attacks. The design is lazier than it could've been but it's not bad either. I'd happily train one of these.

This irks me more than Honedge not because it is 2 Honedges but because it's missing the wall plaque

Gotta say, i'm really loving it!

For some reason, when I saw this I thought, "Hmmmmm... it's pink. I know! I'll call it Johnny!" I really come up with some messed up names for Pokémon.

I'm honestly surprised that this even got an evolution, but I actually like the design somewhat(although it could've been better, in my opinion).

Mabye when this evolves it will have three swords and purple hands!

Admittedly when I first saw the thing I wasn't best pleased, it looked like a really lazy design and not something I'd wanted Honedge to evolve into (where's my ghostly knight of doom? ), but looking at it more closely a lot of small details have changed from the original, which kinda saves the design for me.

I guess this also means Honedge will be more useable and I can't say I'm disappointed with that fact. I've been fond of the idea of the thing since I first saw it, so I'll happily welcome one to the team. ^^
