Pokemon X and Y: Speculation

[Turner]

Yep, normally what happens is this:

Corocoro always comes out on the 15th

Leaks start happening on the 10th (At the earliest)

Corocoro covers information about X/Y

The following Smash goes into slightly more detail with some videos.

So the leaks can start flooding in anytime from now, we'll definitely have the information by this coming Wednesday and the announcement internationally will either be on Wednesday or next Saturday/Sunday.

I am hyped, looks like they're going to reveal Sylveon's type, especially as we're reaching the end of the 'Eevee friends' feature on Smash and they've done every eeveelution.

[Ledyba]

I love the run up to a new Pokemon game.

Nothing quite like it.

Bring on Corocoro!

[Turner]

I'm hoping the english announcement goes with the Corocoro release. Sylveon's international announcement happened on the 14th of February for us, which was basically early morning of the 15th for Japan - when Corocoro went on sale.

But the mewtwo information was announced in english shortly after Pokemon Smash announced it...then again it didn't appear in Corocoro.

Predictions for what everyone is expecting? I'm going with:

-Newtwo's name/some information
-Sylveon's type
-Protagonists and maybe 3 new Pokemon
-Little bit of info on the region

Holy cow it's gonna be fun

[Angelic Lapras King]

Hope we get at least an entirely new Pokemon. Forms and new evolutions are good and all, but the only entirely new ones we know are the Legendary duo and starters.

I feel like there's a lot of hype for this.

Or I'm just ridiculously excited.

[Sappy]

There's a screenshot going around now.

omg that panda <3

EDIT: Looks like we can ride Pokemon now.

- Anyone who hasn't seen it.

- One Panda Pokemon
- One Sawsbuck like thing you can ride
- One bird poke, like pidove, but smaller and weird colours.
- One other yellow pokemon which is quirky yet cute.

- Shows status screens for Chespin

Hmmnnnn so far I'm kinda disappointed. Gogoat, the Goat Pokemon looks really good. The panda looks like a Gen V offcut but I could probably adjust to it. The bird looks kinda silly and something seems off about it, the lizard I honestly think is dumb as hell.

You can see the region in the back of the scan too, I think.

I hope it's fake, honestly. Or at least something else is there to make up for it.

[Sappy]

Second scan shows full art of hero's. Region picture. Trainer customization it looks like it. I think one screenshot showed the option of changing the female protagonists hair colour. Not too sure tbh.

[sylar]

ah i was trying to avoid spoilers but i heard a goat pokemon that you can ride and i was unable to resist

these are all SO ADORABLE THOUGH that bird
that bird
omg
omggggggg

(gonna be kinda sad if its fake only because of the goat, all the others look very. deviantart fakemon-esque.)

[Sappy]

I already want that panda. <3

[Turner]

Okay so...I guess this is pretty much legit now.

Character customization looks pretty good though I hope there are more options.
New Pokemon...the Panda thing I personally don't like, it reminds me of a lesser Gen V Pokemon I wouldn't bother training. Like a combination of Timburr and Patrat.

The new bird is, very fakemon looking. Something about it looks really off, not a fan.

The electric type thing honestly I HATE it, I think it looks dumb as hell.

Gogoat is awesome though, that's a design I like so far.

New region looks pretty good, maybe kinda small but it's hard to tell from the map alone. I like the fact it's more forest-y. I hope there is more to it though.

Riding around on gogoat is awesome, I think this is something we've always wanted to do with our Pokemon.

[RocketMember002]

I'm ok with the lizard, I just hope it isn't this gens pika ripoff and so doomed to have awful stats and not evolve.

[Alpha Fenrir]

Hey, I (sort of) called the idea of actually seeing the Pokemon you ride! On that subject, I hope this... Gogoat... isn't the only Pokemon which you can ride on land, and I hope that they make the surf Pokemon do the same.
I don't actually mind any of the new Pokemon. In fact, Yayakoma is probably my favorite of the 'early birds' (assuming that is it's forte), the panda looks like a sulky child which I can see evolving into a delinquent teenager panda and then a calm and menacing black bear, GoGoat seems a sturdier and preferable Sawsbuck, and the lizard is, although odd, quite likeable and with any luck will evolve eventually into some sort of komodo dragon Pokemon... Mustn't get too hopeful though!

The character customization appears somewhat limited, which is a little disappointing, but that isn't final I suppose.
As for the region... I think I'll refrain from trying to speculate about that.
Anyone else curious about that character on the bottom right of one of the double page?

He seems like the Rival. Or N 2.0. Maybe he's called O.

[Turner]

A lot of people have said that it looks like a Mawile pre-evo.


As for the character in the bottom right, it says 'Miniskirt Rika wants to battle!' which is the Japanese name for the 'Lass' trainer class. So no actual character there, just a trainer.
