Hey /vp/ I'm the guy that claimed that Honedge is based on Durendal, the French holy sword. I'm reading an Italian novel written by Italo Calvino, "Il Cavaliere Inesistente", litterally "The Non-Existent Knight". It's a story about Agilulfo, a knight, fighting the battle of the Franks, in the French army under the reign of Charlemagne (along with Roland, the owner of Durendal). This knight hasn't a body, it's just an armor moving with the willpower. In a nutshell, he's a ghost. I bet that Honedge's evolution will be based on Agilulfo, the Non-Existing Knight, an haunted armor (with the sword still being the pokémon, controlling the void armor).

In my opinion Monorpale has "Mono" in its name because it has one eye.
>>
>>12916780 (OP)
this would be badass.
>>
It's the perfect evolution for Honedge, but I bet it won't evolve at all.
>>
There is a problem: Honedge will probably have levitate, and I don't think that a knight would have levitate, it looks bad... Is there any case of a pokémon with levitate losing that ability by evolving?
>>
>>12916803
Yep, Duskull has it, Dusclops doesn't

WHAT
W-WHAT IF
HEY GUYS
WHAT IF IT WAS ACTUALLY IN THE STATUE, WITH THE OTHER POKEMON, THEY'RE ALL POKEMON SO... LOOK AT THE KNIGHT... I'M RIGHT!

>>12916834
damn, it has been there all this time...

>>12916834
I thought that was the gym leader at first, but it makes sense.

>>12916834
the answer has been revealed

>>12916834
Damn, I thought it was just a knight but this makes more sense

Link this on the other thread where they where guessing what was that knight...
>>
>>12916834
the simplest explanation is the most logical one
great job

(OP here)
We were lucky because I'm reading "Il Cavaliere Inesistente" right now, thank my italian teacher
>>
>>12916877
get that teacher an award
>>
/vp/ is guessing right again. Great job.
>>
>>12916885
when have we guessed wrong?
>>
>>12916834
I guessed that the knight was the Honedge evolution too, now with that french knight reference I'm sure about it.
>>
>>12916902
Flyingfags
>>
>>12916919
fair enough, but there were still fairyfags
if we hadn't had fairyfags, and we ONLY had flyingfags, then we would've been wrong
>>
>>12916940
So just in case
This is complete bullshit
>>
>>12916950
I like the way you think
>>
>>12916780 (OP)
Let everyone know. This is the only truth.
>>
I get it being based on the French sword of myth, cuz it's myth.
But basing an evo on a character from a novel from 1959, who fought for the opposing army?
Nahh.
>>
>NOOOOOO! It's TOTALLY going to evolve into a shield because I said so and I'm never wrong!

Nice catch though, OP.
>>
While I don't doubt that Honedge does draw from Durandal to an extent (and was one of the things I used to argue against the name Hexcalibur), I doubt it will evolve into a suit of armour.

The core idea behind Honedge is that it's a possessed weapon, not that it's a ghostly warrior. Any evolutions will advance the former concept, and there's isn't a sense of logical progression between the two.
>>
>>12916834
Isn't that knight golurk? How awesome would it be if Hexcaliber and Golurk could have a joint evo?
>>
>>12917023
It's in the statue!
>>
>>12917079
We digimon now
>>
>>12917023
Well, we've got a group of legendaries loosely based on the three musketeers and a whole slew of pokemon based off of obscure(to everyone who's not japanese) myths and legends, along with muscular construction worker clowns.

I don't think anything would be too far fetched at this point.
>>
>>12917079
there's a more humanoid proportioned figure in front of it
>>
That's actually a really good novel. It's fantastic.
