So on first impressions, Pokemon X and Y looks good. What do you think will Pokemon X and Y have?
I think there could be a couple of places that are accessible after defeating the Elite Four. Kinda bit like Pokemon Black 2 and White 2.
-
Village of Dragons, where Iris appears, and has some location where Eevee evolves into Draconeon. ;)
-
I think they're going to include more type combinations that we haven't seen before. I'm hoping for a water and steel type.
-
Maybe this new Dragon type Eevee everyone keeps banging on about isn't going to be a Dragon type at all- so much importance is being placed on Eevee being featured on a statue with Golurk and (I think) Palpitoad and Geodude, and what do they have in common...?
no I don't really believe it either I just wanted to join in with the ridiculous conspiracy theories
-
That being said, it IS true that now types being 'physical' or 'special' don't really hold much weight since the Gen IV switch. So while dragon Eon seems pretty likely, maybe we'll be getting something else instead? Holy god would I love a flying Eon, that would be THE most gorgeous thing. Or actually a normal type evolution would be cool too, despite how plain it would be.

Don't forget Empoleon! ;_; I'd like to see another water/steel though. <3

Ooh, haven't seen Geodude; where is he?

^because they're just so much fun P=

Ionno, they still kept with the "introduce special typed Eevees" theme, even in Gen IV, when the physical/special split was introduced.
-
^ but we don't know when the physical/special split was implanted during development, or thought off or even if it came before or after the the new Eons.
That said, pokemon hasn't used the spec/phy split for nearly 7 years now, I think they're safe to break away from Special-centrelised Eevees.
-
New Eeveelution(s) aren't exciting me that much
-
I dunno, I'm pretty keen - and if the gene themes are correct, then the new eeveelution might be plot-centric or at least plot involved. That would make a few people sit up and pay attention... Though maybe I'm overreaching.
-

How could I forget Empoleon! I still want to see a few more, electric/poison or electric/dark.

Village of Dragons, where Iris appears, and has some location where Eevee evolves into Draconeon. ;)
I thought that Village of Dragons is north of Unova, somewhere where Upstate New York corrsponds to in real life?
Anyway, I really think that the PWT should return in the sixth gen. At first I was disappointed about the new region being based on France instead of Tohoku region or the US state of Washington, but I lived with it.
-

In the animé it is, iirc, but someone pointed out to me that Iris tells Drayden (in the memory link feature) that things in unova are much different than in her hometown. Which implies Village of Dragons isn't in Unova.
-
Bulbapedia changed the Gen VI article, they now think the region is going to be based on Europe. Which means according to Bulbapedia, the UK will also be included.
-
Female Dark type GymLeader named Cassandra would be cool.Been wanting that for years. The name is perfect for a Dark type trainer since Cassandra mean "Prophetess of doom" and many Dark Pokemon are linked with bad luck and destruction in one way or another. A Nurse Joy That is also a Gym Leader would be interesting as many players would not expect it. I could imagine Clyde or someone similar in the Gym saying, "Sorry. The Gym Leader isn't here right now. She is at the Pokemon Center." You then have to talk to each femal in the Center (which is larger than the usual one) and eventually you talk to Joy and she accepts your challenge. I can see her having a Chansey amony some other type of Pokemon and she has a different name which misleads you to not realize that the Gym Leader is really Nurse Joy. I believe that would add a nice element of surprise to players not seen since Gen 1 when we found out Giovanni was Vridian City's Leader.
-
^ Whaaaa...! You genius!
Cassandra sounds like a really evil name, like Tiffany, which sounds like a stuck-up name. I mean, I can imagine a girl named Cassandra standing with her hands held up and her fingers bent like she is about to grip something, and laughing evilly. The Nurse Joy as a Gym Leader is very clever.
What I wish to see, although Pokemon X and Y is a giant step in graphics and gameplay, is something that goes even farther and makes you feel like you're in real life or in the anime with Ash, Cilan, Iris. Even now I would like something less pixelly. The Pokemon look pretty in the anime. I want a game with an anime-level on beauty. Also, I want the games to utilize special skills that can be performed by Pokemon, like in that episode when Ash's Snivy, commanded by Iris, faced off against Moira's Cinccino for beauty and strength. Snivy kept using Leaf Storm and brushed off the oil coat on Cinccino that prevented it from getting dirty and then knocked Cinccino and her trainer into the mud around the circular battlefield to win. See, if Pokemon could use special Contest skills like that in the game, it would be more like the anime and more authentic. And if the Contest skills would apply to what is known about the Pokemon through the Pokedex entries, etc. (like it is known that Cinccino has an oily coat that prevents dirtiness), then Pokemon could use their attacks for more than just damage. They could use their attacks to nullify abilities. An example is, Machoke is known to become uncontrollable and very powerful when it has no belt on. What if, in battle in the game, Machoke could remove its belt for a Power boost but a Confused status as a result? Or what if a Pokemon could use a move not intended to damage its foe but accomplish something else? It would add strategy to the game if Pokemon could use their natural qualities listed in the Pokedex to succeed. I think Abilities shouldn't be the only interesting skills Pokemon can activate.
Maybe, but not likely, Pokemon could bring the Underground from DP back. That was fun. Or they shall let you walk with your Pokemon in the 3D world like in the 2D HGSS world. I would also like to see the Safari Zone/Great Marsh again. And the Pal Park in Pokemon Pearl and Diamond was so cool.
But I'm glad that they did something new by setting the game in the 3D World. However, I'm expecting new things in the gameplay that haven't been done in any other games.
-
New abilities had been introducted all the time every generation. Maybe that will work.
But I love the Underground; why not connect it to Pokemon Global Link?
Anyway, I made a speculation: notice how the Pokemon numbers start with starter Pokemon? And that the Grass-type starter is first, followed by Fire and Water-type starters? If I could deduce from the Pokedex numbers, I predict Chespin, Fennekin and Froakie to be numbers 650, 653 and 656 respectively.
-
These are Abilities I made up which would make the game more interesting.
Phantom Strike
Ghost moves will cause damage to Normal Pokemon
Grounded
Causes the Gravity Effect as soon as the Pokemon with this Ability is sent out
Purify
Dark Pokemon are susceptible to damage caused by Psychic attacks
Full Deck
All of the damaging moves known by this Pokemon gets stronger each time its PP goes down, much like Trump Card
-
Green House
attack and special attack is doubled if there is another grass type on the field.
/desperately wants grass types to be better
-
Fennekin will evolve into...

Bulbapedia changed the Gen VI article, they now think the region is going to be based on Europe. Which means according to Bulbapedia, the UK will also be included.
I don't see how that follows. They say it'll "draw inspiration from Europe". You could easily say Unova draw inspiration from the US, but that still only 'includes' the New York area.
Sure, the UK may be in it, but it's just as likely they'll, say, use the surroundings of Paris (or, scale-wise, use France) and save the other parts of the continent for another time. They didn't put all of Japan in one game after all - they took four regions in four generations.
-
I think what actually happens is that GameFreak gets inspiration from a region and creates their own region from this. I can't remember if it was Tajiri or Masuda who went on a holiday around Europe lately, I think it was Masuda because he did the same thing with New York before B/W came out.
Unova was based upon New York initially, but stuff like the desert was probably more inspired by Arizona/West coast, as there's no desert in New York. Also Lentimas Town seemed a lot like something inspired by Mexico.
Similarly, the inspiration behind the new region probably started primarily as France being the muse and then working the rest of Europe into that in GF's own unique way. There are some craggy areas we've seen already which to me look a little bit like the Italian deserts seen in spaghetti westerns. As we see more of the region it will probably become more ambiguous. Either way I wouldn't take Bulbapedia's speculation as fact anyway, they can write what they want but it's not official until we hear it from the horse's mouth.
-
I came up with the Nurse Joy as a Gym Leader idea after the episodes where she serves as a Gym inspector and Contest judge. The Joys HAVE been shown to be skilled at battling and it would seem as though one becoming a Leader wouldn't be too ridiculous.

They maybe will just do France, and have some bits of the surrounding countries like Italy and the UK. But then again, we're just speculating.
Is there any source more reliable than Bulbapedia that says anything about where the region would be inspired by? Because I am thinking that Bublapedia is becoming dodgy with the handling of Generation VI article despite warnings not to speculate on the header.
Unova was based upon New York initially, but stuff like the desert was probably more inspired by Arizona/West coast, as there's no desert in New York. Also Lentimas Town seemed a lot like something inspired by Mexico.
Orre was based on the whole of Arizona. One of the towns in particular is based on Pheonix. Also, about Unova, you missed New Jersey. There's a bit of New Jersey (and I say, the northern part of it only) in Unova.
Anyway, I was thinking this: can Generation VI become darker and edgier than Generation V? I mean, with Ghetsis' abuse of N, and Team Plasma and all that, surely Gen VI can become the darkest and edgiest Pokemon generation yet?
Also, I would like to see more diverse people like in Generation V.
-
^ More diverse people were not the only things we saw in Generation V. The dark thing I saw and liked in Gen V was that Team Plasma's grunts didn't just scurry off after being defeated in a Pokemon battle. The Team Plasma grunts carried out their mission even after their Pokemon fainted, like when two grunts continued to bully the Dream Mist out of a Munna after they lost to the player in BW1. So unlike the grunts in the previous games who scurried off after their Pokemon were defeated, the grunts in Gen V were more persistent. I'd like to see some persistent villains in Pokemon X and Y. Maybe they'll have some.

I guess Game Freak realised that their audience are now adult. So they change a bit to appease both adult and kid.

Do I hear a James Bond reference? Because a new character based on James Bond for Pokemon would be sooooooo cool! And he'll maybe be with Looker!
-
Of course its 007! It'll make Pokemon a bit more mature. Too long has it been a kid's franchise. That's kinda why I like B/W's lead characters best. They almost look as old as I am and look pretty cool too.

Yeah, but still make it E rated. Or PEGI 3+. And make it darker than Black and White. In fact, make the new team worse than Team Plasma.
-
I'm interested in what this team's motive's gonna be. Plasma was a new idea. Or what if, there is no villainous team? :O
-

What about an evil team vs a good team. The evil one is plotting domination over the region and the good team is stopping all the other team's plans. Sort of like Magma and Aqua except both aren't evil. The good team could even recruit you to pose as a double agent for them! Just an idea.
-
That's a great idea. Working as a double agent seems cool.
I was thinking on the lines of there being just one guy who you have to stop. He doesn't have any cronies. A single man. And you gotta stop him.
-
I think the two teams idea was posed in BW2 with Old/New Plasma, so maybe they were hinting at using it in the next main games? Something to get speculation going...

Likely to be bogus, seeing as no Pokemon has ever had a ' symbol in it's official name... ever.

I agree with you that it looks fake, but you forgot about Farfetch'd. :police:
-

There's always a first time, yet, this doesn't look like what Nintendo usually do.
And Snomanitan? LMFAO! xD
-
If that leak is correct (and it may well be, it sure sounds like new mon names), one can only hope for a few monsters in that mix. Mostly that Water/Fire dual typer; Sounds like Ludicolo except attack oriented. >:D
And if they are changing Eevee stuff, please, for Armok's sake, give Flareon a physical Fire move. Please.
EDIT: It's not correct. But the stuff I said still stands.
-
Water/Fire. Let's see... weaknesses: Ground, Electric, Rock. I too want a Pokemon of that type, as well as an Electric/Ice type Pokemon. This could be named Thundra, thunder + tundra. And the fire/water type should be called Humidifire or Liquefire.
-
If it's not alcohol based I will be sorely disappointed.

We already have Fridge Rotom, you know. IMO, Water/Fire type makes no sense. Would become some Steam-type Pokémon? :dry:
-
It's not like Water-types are just puddles of water. It could be something as simple as a fish that also has a lot of fire attributes.
-
Does ANYONE know about the cyber type :mad:? But a steam rotom would probably be in the cyber section :yeswink:
-
We've all heard of the Light type, but certainly not of the Cyber type. Enlighten us about how you came to know about this.
-
Easy I was just lookin online about info on X n Y when I came across this video talkin about a new type About 3hours later I had finished twenty videos about the evee in the golurk's hands about that evee being the new type cyber
-
Gimme a link to this speculation.
-
I think I'm gonna called BS on these so-called "videos"
-
Yes, we'll probably find out about a new type (well, if there is) soon because Corocoro scans have started to come in for Rumble U and the new movie.
-
Like I said before you can believe me or not the answer will come plus did you guys even try to see if I was right?¿
-

The burden of proof is usually on the person making these claims. If there are videos, you would surely be able to show them to us?
-
I'm assuming this month's corocoro turned out to be a thundering "Meh" when it comes to new information, right?
-
Seems that way, from what I've read. Part of me doesn't mind if it stays like that until up to October, but on the other hand, not much new to speculate over unless there's... something new to speculate over. ^^;
-

Extraordinary claims need extraordinary evidence. And I agree: where's the videos?
Search for said videos, and none of the stuff will appear.
-
This might be a longshot, but does anyone think HarmoKnight will do anything for X and Y? (Yes I just got the demo, how could you tell?) I mean, there are levels based off Pokemon music, which is more than Drill Dozer had in it (I'm still a little sad that inserting Drill Dozer into the DS didn't get you anything special for Diamond or Pearl...) so I wouldn't rule it the idea entirely... I wouldn't count on it either, but it'd still be neat. All I can think of is wild Chatot, though...
-
Yes I know for somereason I can't find them either the guy didn't put the word cyber in his title so yeah it is very hard to find :wacko:

Here's something interesting I found out lately:
Pokestar Studios in BW2 was created for two purposes; firstly, GameFreak wanted an area in which Pokemon could battle things that would be considered out of character for the game (UFOs and stuff) and more importantly, an area where new/young players could learn about battling in-depth.
Remember how you have to follow a script which tells you to do stuff like 'Switch items with the prop' 'Survive for x cuts'? Well cleverly, this is actually prep for beginners into the world of Competitive battling (Hence why it appears so early in the game), the idea is to teach people the more in-depth ways of battling beyond using just damaging moves.
IMO this is actually pretty clever and cool, but it made me realize that we've also seen IVs and EVs be given their own pseudo-name in Pokemon (Effort and Potential). I heard that GameFreak staff often travel to watch VGC and stuff and it occurred to me that they probably decided there was a large gap between new and advanced players that should be bridged.
My speculation here is that I'm guessing that they are going to make competitive battling slightly more accessible or do their best to try and open up the metagame to the kids/new players, I think this could be really interesting actually and it'd be nice if we could see the AI use their brains a little more, you could definitely improve the AI and difficulty of the game by allowing more in-game trainers to use these techniques a little bit more, rather than just raising the levels by 5 and just increasing time spent grinding.

I've always felt since Gen 3 Game Freak noticed this and improved the metagame. They noticed the biggest flaw at the time; Physical/Special moves and introduced the new EVing items in Gen 4. The introduction of evolves of Pokemon at the time that were much needed and X and Y will do the same.
Join Avenue is a blessing I've only recently found out about, but oh my god this thing is amazing. BW2 are amazing games. I've always thought what it must be like for kids who were our ages when we got into Pokemon originally. They must be having the time of their lives. Seriously BW2 is amazing and probably would be more fun if it wasn't for my age.
-
I would say less improved and more flipped it upside its head. Gen 4-5 were far different to Gen 3.
Man Sappy, it's funny to think about though, given the fact that a few members at some forums I go (and even here) to were either infants or flat out not even born when we were first playing Red/Blue... They didn't get the experience of seeing this franchise grow as it has.
-
You never know, we might not even see the end of it.
I mean we could all die when it gets to like Gen 50 or something ridiculous. Where you have to catch all 6137 Pokemon. Versions are now completely different regions with only a few Pokemon that are the same. It could be crazy. Pokemon Green could earn you billions if you sold it.

Maybe we would. The day Pokemon is dead is when Nintendo is dead.

And we aren't gonna just sit here and let that happen, are we?
-
Yeah one thing I've learned over the years is that 'Gimmick' features in Pokemon always hold something really amazing underneath. I thought funfest missions were just some kind of local wi-fi minigame stuff until I realized what I could do with pass powers (And also the fact I didn't need other players to do the funfest missions). Searching for those rare 1% Secret Hollow Pokemon (Imposter Ditto, anyone?) is so much easier with pass powers.
Anyway, when X/Y comes out I'm definitely going to explore every single feature, they really crammed everything they could into BW2
I know they were introduced in Platinum (I think) but egg spins as well are such an underrated feature, I remember gathering a ton of eggs and just egg spinning with as many people as I could at MCM, I came home with a box full of eggs I'd recieved and had all kinds of bizzare Pokemon hatching out with varying egg moves and IVs.
Anyway, back to speculation
I'm expecting no cross trading on X/Y, to be honest though. I think we'll get about 100 new Pokemon taking us up to 750 or so and the rest will be all of the previous Pokemon crammed into one region. Maybe some kind of download play will allow you to import some of the legendaries, but I'm not sure.
-

I (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Legend_of_Zelda) disagree (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Super_Mario_(series)), my (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kirby_(series)) good (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fire_emblem) sir (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Super_Smash_Bros.).

Speculation rebuttal: both the 3DS and the DS probably use the same wireless mechanism, so there will be a possibility of cross-trading. If we expect no cross trading, it would be when there will be a new console with a different architecture and different wireless standard.

That's true, my main argument though wasn't just that it was the amount of references to existing Pokemon we've seen in X/Y so far. Not just the battle scenes (Because that could be there just to hide the new Pokemon) but the statue etc. with Palpitoad/Golurk/etc. on it.
The 3DS and the DS both can trade via wireless/infra-red but that didn't make HG/SS able to trade with B/W, they restricted that to download play only, so I think it has more to do with the compatibility between the carts - which is entirely decided upon by GameFreak
-
I can guarantee you:
* There will be no direct back and forth trading. They tried that between gen 1 and 2 and the restrictions placed were huge, the amount they'd have to add now would make it a lot more difficult.
* Any pal park style trading (whatever this gen's version will be) will use download play or similar, simply because that's the only way the game's save can be accessed and modified to withdraw Pokemon from it. Wireless 'trading' doesn't allow that unless they've built it into BWB2W2 from the start, which I doubt somehow (and even then, who knows whether they transfer the data XY want? It will have changed between gens)
* This won't be restricted to legendaries. See any other gen before, including the outcries and anger there was when gen 3 didn't have it. All the existing references? Sinnoh was similar.
-

Well, basically this is what I meant by cross-trading: a one-way transfer of Pokemon. I believe that I used the term "trading" incorrectly.
-
I'm not too worried about all the cross trading i X&Y because I haven't ever truly cross traded any pokemon ever, unless diamond to soulsiver counts.
And when will new stuff be relased/leaked?! I cannot anymore!
-
Apparently big news is coming on the 19th.

Apparently big news is coming on the 19th.
On Pokemon Smash, although there's a CoroCoro due out the Wednesday before, so we could have some new stuff before then...
-
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.
-
I love the run up to a new Pokemon game.
Nothing quite like it.
Bring on Corocoro!

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
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.)
-
I already want that panda. <3
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-

Really? It's electric/normal type! I cannot think of any Pokemon which change type entirely when they evolve (with the obvious exception of the eevee-lutions).

So we are going to end up with the character sprite popping up every time a battle is initiated? Kind of ruins the exclusive nature of the league battles. Oh well.
-
You can ride Gogoat? Now how will that work? Is there like a new HM for riding Pokemon? Who knows?
-
alpha fenrir, what about steelix
-
Onix is rock/ground, steelix is steel/ground. It's not a complete type change.
-
Maybe this new Dragon type Eevee everyone keeps banging on about isn't going to be a Dragon type at all- so much importance is being placed on Eevee being featured on a statue with Golurk and (I think) Palpitoad and Geodude, and what do they have in common...?
no I don't really believe it either I just wanted to join in with the ridiculous conspiracy theories
You know, I hope they make an Eevee dragon type.
And I really hope it has +130 base Def, +100 base HP and terrible speed and attack.
Everyone would literally freak. out.
-
^ Whaaaa...! You genius!
Cassandra sounds like a really evil name, like Tiffany, which sounds like a stuck-up name. I mean, I can imagine a girl named Cassandra standing with her hands held up and her fingers bent like she is about to grip something, and laughing evilly. The Nurse Joy as a Gym Leader is very clever.
What I wish to see, although Pokemon X and Y is a giant step in graphics and gameplay, is something that goes even farther and makes you feel like you're in real life or in the anime with Ash, Cilan, Iris. Even now I would like something less pixelly. The Pokemon look pretty in the anime. I want a game with an anime-level on beauty. Also, I want the games to utilize special skills that can be performed by Pokemon, like in that episode when Ash's Snivy, commanded by Iris, faced off against Moira's Cinccino for beauty and strength. Snivy kept using Leaf Storm and brushed off the oil coat on Cinccino that prevented it from getting dirty and then knocked Cinccino and her trainer into the mud around the circular battlefield to win. See, if Pokemon could use special Contest skills like that in the game, it would be more like the anime and more authentic. And if the Contest skills would apply to what is known about the Pokemon through the Pokedex entries, etc. (like it is known that Cinccino has an oily coat that prevents dirtiness), then Pokemon could use their attacks for more than just damage. They could use their attacks to nullify abilities. An example is, Machoke is known to become uncontrollable and very powerful when it has no belt on. What if, in battle in the game, Machoke could remove its belt for a Power boost but a Confused status as a result? Or what if a Pokemon could use a move not intended to damage its foe but accomplish something else? It would add strategy to the game if Pokemon could use their natural qualities listed in the Pokedex to succeed. I think Abilities shouldn't be the only interesting skills Pokemon can activate.
Maybe, but not likely, Pokemon could bring the Underground from DP back. That was fun. Or they shall let you walk with your Pokemon in the 3D world like in the 2D HGSS world. I would also like to see the Safari Zone/Great Marsh again. And the Pal Park in Pokemon Pearl and Diamond was so cool.
But I'm glad that they did something new by setting the game in the 3D World. However, I'm expecting new things in the gameplay that haven't been done in any other games.
Definitely, Cassandra is quite an evil name.
Cassandra de Vries from Perfect Dark springs to mind.
For me it brings connotations of beautiful, yet haughty, and powerful. I can see her being a dark type gym leader who is the leader of the big metropolis style city. Owns the Pokécenter and is perhaps admits to admiring the new "Team Rocket" enemies in the game.
An interesting one definitely.

Seems legit.
I mean, most of the gym leaders in the game are against the antagonists- you know, the likes of Team Rocket, Plasma, Galactic, etc.
-
Really? It's electric/normal type! I cannot think of any Pokemon which change type entirely when they evolve (with the obvious exception of the eevee-lutions).
Azurill changes type (and sometimes gender) completely upon evolving. It is a Normal type until it becomes a Marrill which is Water.
Seems legit.

The only obvious exceptions are Marlon who never heard of Plasma and was a bit neutral in BW2 and Giovanni.
-
So will Kalos have the standard 8 Gyms? Or will there be some new Gym system?
And that region name... it brings mind to a small car.
-
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uBlrJcYzc4Q
pikachu sounds like pikachu!
and some stuff about mega evolution in the demo
Fairy-type moves are also not very effective against Fire-type Pokémon
-
Hmm, I'm doubting that the Pokemon we know of now will be the only Kalos Pokemon.
I looked back over the week before BW came out, and saw that nearly 70 Pokemon were leaked in the week before the release...I'm going to assume that leaks will flood out (teehee) in the week before XY. I also feel this will be the same for starters as the Unova starter evos were leaked a week before BW.
Could this happen with XY? Or will some Pokemon remain unannounced until release?
-
Fairy-type moves are also not very effective against Fire-type Pokémon
Interesting. This draws further depth to the idea that glow punch isn't fairy, as the 'SE noise' most definitely wasn't a 'NFE noise'...
-
So what did everyone think of the stater evolves?
It makes me want Fennekin more than Chespin. And Froakie's starting to look cool.
-
blocked has posted the latest info dor Pokemon X&Y which shows the first evolutions to the starters and confirms Poison as a weakness to Fairy Pokemon. I think Chespin's evolution looks like a bizarre version of Pignitie. What do you guys think?
-
The chespin evo is lol, the fire one is yet again going down the bipedal route when it really shouldn't, and froakie's is suitably awesome.
We now have our psychic cats and second mewtwo form, so the leaker was right on everything. That said, the attacks for the starter evos seem to hinter their second typing, yet froakie's gets bounce?
AND OMG A T-REX POKEMON. Both the fossils look really good this time. Yay for fairy being immune to dragon!
And a Garchomp mevo, REALLY? If these stupidly overpowered pokes keep getting them and raticate and raichu don't there will be no words for the level of pissed off I shall be.
-
I've been waiting for a fossil Rock/Ice type for years! I like the Pokemon they made but I thought it should have been a wooly mammoth. The Psychic cats learning different moves is something similar I came up with Tentacruel with a move I created called Dancing Jewels. Female Tentacruel would learn it at Lv 30 and male Tentacruel learn Water Pulse at that same level and at level 35 male Tentacruel learn Dancing Jewels and females learn Water Pulse.
-
Well, I love the fossils, Froakie Evolution & Garchomp, but I think the rest are pretty awful (especially mewtwo...)
I don't know why they have Dark type a nerf, it really needed a boost. It also looks like they're messing with the old type matchup, even if only a little change has been revealed so far.
-
A T Rex fossel Pokemon huh? Hope it has a more badass evolution.
I like the new Mewtwo form more then the other one. Interesting to see they're version exclusive, which could mean a Z or whatever Mega Evolution if we get a 3rd version (Though Mewtwo is slowly turning into Deoxys XD).
-
(Though Mewtwo is slowly turning into Deoxys XD).
I thought it was quite similar to Gardevoir/Gallade in a way :laugh:
Did the other forme get its type announced, anyone, I don't recall it?
-
I thought it was quite similar to Gardevoir/Gallade in a way :laugh:
Did the other forme get its type announced, anyone, I don't recall it?
I mean that as it has version exclusive formes like Dexoys back in the Gen 3 days. XD
Don't think the other forme's type was revealed.
-
Fairy is weak to Steal and poison which is interesting
also why has oshawott chespin evolved into pignite?
it was not the direction i thought it would go but it looks um interesting haha
-
I mean that as it has version exclusive formes like Dexoys back in the Gen 3 days. XD
Don't think the other forme's type was revealed.
Ah, I never had deoxys in gen 3, so I forgot it had a forme a game.
And okay, If it fairy/psychic, it definitely Gallade/Gardevoir
-
Very interesting news today, I'm going to recap bits for people who don't want to trawl through the thread.
-New Mega Mewtwo announced - Mega Mewtwo X which is Psychic/Fighting. So now we have Mega Mewtwo X and Mega Mewtwo Y exclusive to their respective games.
-Mega Garchomp revealed to have the ability Sand Stream
-Fairy type's type effectiveness: Weak against Poison and Steel, supereffective against Dragon, Fighting and Dark. Not very effective against Poison, Fire and Steel. Resists Fighting, Bug and Dark. Fairy type is immune to Dragon type.
-The type chart also revealed that Steel no longer resists Ghost and Dark
-We saw the second stage of the starter evolutions.
-We saw two new Fossil Pokemon - a Rock/Ice Diplodocus with the ability 'Freeze Skin' that turns normal type moves into Ice type moves and a Rock/Dragon T-Rex with the ability 'Hard Jaw' that powers up biting type moves.
-The white Pokemon from the Direct was revealed, it's a Normal-type dog with customisable fur, it's ability 'Fur Coat' reduces physical damage
-A psychic cat Pokemon were revealed, their appearance, moves (and possibly stats) is dependant on their gender. The female is offensive while the male plays a support/defensive role. The male knows miracle eye and the female knows extrasensory. Their abilities are Infiltrator and Keen Eye.
-It's possible to change your hair and clothes (outside of the options we originally saw) at boutiques and salons.
-Team Flare's goal is to make everything Beautiful in the world, there are 5 Team Flare scientists.
-
Nah these Pokémon look wack
-
The Rock Ice Fossil is fantastic.
I love Chespin even more for it's evolution!
-
I think I've found a decent way to get around fairy being immune to dragon:
Dragonite @ Leftovers
Multiscale
-> Outrage
-> Dragon Dance
-> Roost
-> Iron Tail
Works as normal, but I believe when a Pokémon immune to outrage switches in, it ends without causing confusion, an then Dragonite hit with a SE iron tail, with multiscale saving his arse if he misses.
It too early to say if that'd work, but I'm keeping it in mind...
-
I always thought the first Mewtwo and the two Deoxys from Destiny Deoxys should be in a movie together. I mean both are genetically altered Pokemon and have similar strengths and attacks. I had a feeling Flare would have admins like Galactic and Rocket did but not as scientists like Charon. I sort knew the team would have more than Rocket did. Perhaps the scientist will be like the Seven Sages in BW where they DO battle you but mainly do not interfere with everyday life by force. Zinzolin was the only Sage to aggressively attack and cause trouble willingly. Rood and the others were more misguided as they believed Ghetsis' lies and Gorm and Rood found out the errors of their ways and expressed their wish to prove they have changed their ways. Gorm only stole the Dragon skull because he thought it might have been either Zekrom or Reshiram. He didn't really mean any harm just like Rood. Hard to say for the other three missing Sages as they are no where to be found in BW2.
-
Holy Hell Froakie's evo is baaaaaaaadaaaaaaaaass. Chespin's looks cute in a stupid way. Fennekin's just looks stupid.
And rock/ice dinosaur I want it!!
-
Looks like IGN accidentally leaked Litleo's evolution - Pyroar.
(http://pokebeach.com/news/0913/pyroar-1.jpg)
(http://assets1.ignimgs.com/2013/09/11/pyroar-official-screenshot-2-copyjpg-e946c2_320w.jpg)
(http://pokebeach.com/news/0913/pyroar.jpg)
Doesn't look too bad, guess it's not quite a manticore after all.
EDIT: Also from the cleaner corocoro scans it looks like Fennekin's evo can pull a flaming stick/wand from it's tail to use in attacks:
(http://i.imgur.com/JT42QYg.jpg)
-
oh. wow.
give me Pokemon X/Y now.
-
Ahaha, if there is evidence to suggest that Fennekin's final evo Fire/Psychic, well...yeah, that wand suggests it.
-
Don't like Fennekin's evo too much. Froakie's evo is the worst of the lot. Chespin's is cool, however.
-
Really disappointed Litleo doesn't become a fire/fairy manticore, I hate it when the fans make a better evo than they do. ;.;
The wand thing was unexpected! It's probably psychic, but Mismagius is witchy and a ghost.

You then lose to Steel types.
-
^Point, Richard.
Anyways, Chespin's evo looks ugly to me.
-
You then lose to Steel types.
But steel isn't immune, only resistant. Besides, this set would be more 'your Marill shall not kill my prestigious dragon!'
Edit: bad example, Marill is neutral to steel... Replace it with some other suitable fairy type xD
Edit2: also, many steel types you could set up a dragon sance on, and even resisted, that can do some damage.
-
@Rocket- Mismagius was basically some sort of witch or some similar being but also look at Banette. It is basically a walking voodoo doll.
Back on topic, anyone else waiting for a Fire/Poison Pokemon? That match up makes sense as many Fire Pokedex entries mentions noxious fumes and some like Magmar and Houndoom learn Smog which is a Poison type attack. Double weakness to Ground attacks is sort of bad but with Levitate, the only weaknesses would be to Water, Rock, and Psychic Pokemon. Plus a Fire/Poison Pokemon can STILL take out a Steel type without any problems. I'm thinking something like a huge cloud of smog and flames.

Could definitely happen this Gen, given Fire's resistance to Fairy and Fairy's weakness to Poison we could be in for some nice Poison types, that's what I'm hoping for at least. Fairy slayers will be needed this Gen, if the leak is correct (Which at this point it has proven to absolutely be) then we have a new Poison move called Belch which consumes a berry to work, so I'm guessing there will definitely be some new Poison types. Poison has been one of my favorite types for a while now so I'm quite excited by this prospect.
-
^I don't know how true this is but someone told me once that Koffing and Weezing were supposed to be Poison/Fire Pokemon but then they were made pure Poison due to the 4x weakness to Ground attacks. Seems unlikely to me as Gyrados was Water/Flying and had quadruple damage from Electric attacks.
-

Skarmory, Forretress and Ferrothorn would have no problem switching in on your Outrage and Roosting off damage or phazaing you out/ setting entry hazards and/or Pain Splitting back to full health/ Thunder Wave, Leech Seeding, or Gyro Balling you to death. It will depend on how heavily Fairy is used once the initial hype of a new type dies down a bit, but Dragons will still need a Fire move to deal with Steel types, which may mean giving up on Roost, or packing Magnezone much more often (which is double-handy, in that it trap-kills common Steel types, and has Flash Cannon for Fairies).
-
Jeez, Pyroar is good as is. Who cares about a Manticore, we need a dolphin mon.
Seriously, I'm gonna be disagreeing with a ton of people on this, but why the hate for Fennekin's Evo? I've heard some negative opinions like "what the heck is that in its tail? A knife? Ugh" and even "that looks like it has a skirt it better be more masculine in its Evo because I don't want a male one". Yes, you're all entitled to your own opinion, but I've heard a lot of people hating some 6th Gen mons, but not appreciating them. Don't take offense anyone, but I've heard a lot of negative things...
I love the T-Rex Pokemon, and the other one is good too (that typing is awesome). The cat is an interesting concept, so I'll wait and see for that. Torimian looks nice and has a cool feature too. Mewtwo X looks good enough too, and that typing is intriguing. Froakie's middle Evo looks brilliant, Fennekin's is pretty neat (bipedal fox with wand? Nice), Chespin has the strangest off the trio, but it'll be better in the final Evo.
-
^I totally agree with you. The only new Pokemon I'm not fond of right now is Chespin's which looks too much like Pignite. The face seems creepy to me for some odd reason. I also LOVE Absol's Mega Evolution as well as Blaziken and the Kanter starters'! I have a cool idea for one for Banette where it grows in size, looks more sinister, and is Ghost/Dark. Mega Banette has an appearance of a voodoo doll with a stitched mouth instead of that zipper.

I'm really excited about this feature to be honest, dressing up has been on my wishlist since G/S, I'll be so happy to finally feel like myself in the games. Not that I didn't before but this takes things to the next level, I hope the options are good though. Also if there's free DLC for this it will be delicious. Team Rocket unforms, Old protags, Official Pokemon Gijinkas..

STOP THE PRESSES!
Pyroar's female form looks really accurate; it reminds me of a lioness. Do actual lionesses look like that? With a small mane, given that Pyroar is based on a lion?

More reasons to get Pokémon X and/or Y for me now. Can't wait to customize my trainer extensively. I would go for the mullet.

Everyone should go to the official website, there's loads of screenshots there. They've been updating the site super quickly. Also, changes made to your in-game player is also reflected on your PPS card and also your Trainer PR videos.
Also there's another news drop tomorrow, I wonder what it'll be..
-
Looks like XY will be teaching kids everywhere about fashion XD
Anyways, I'm looking forward to this. I wonder if you can dye your hair? If so, that would be excellent.
-
^I think you can as the female trainer has been shown with different hair colors while having the same skin tone. Not sure if you can dye it green though....
-
Thank goodness you can change the males hair style, i hate the original.
My guy is getting swish boots
-
^My thoughts exactly :laugh:
But yeah, I'm definitely going to get a lot of use out of this... Hell, I'd be lucky to get out of the boutique place in the first hour of playing xD
-
Just hope there'll be a much wider choice in design then oh I dunno......Battle Revolution?
-
Can someone give me a link to the official website please?
-
Well, that announcement was disappointing.
Turns out it was a new website that runs a competition to win 3DSs, XY download codes and TCG cards...for the US ONLY.
-
As awesome as customization on your trainer is, I hope there's outfits and hair options to style your trainer like past trainer players like May, Dawn, Lucas, etc....
And gym leaders! Maybe we can even get rocket/aqua/magma/galactic uniforms, that would be so amazing.

Perhaps it'll be like the Trainer customization with outfits like the main Pokemon website has in the Trainer Builder section.

Erhmahgerd look at it.
-
So I just saw a video on blocked, apparently from the Nintendo eshop (I assume the Japanese version) and it showed a horde of Oorotto again - but with a random Sudowoodo in there too! And then I got to thinking, was the Sudowoodo really that random? What if there was some kind of evolutionary relation...
Then again it may just be the tree version of Luvdisc/Alomomola, but it's a theory anyway
-
^Sudowoodo may have been just posing as a tree in reference to both its blockage of a path in GSC/E/HGSS and Pokedex entries. It DOES enjoy pretending to be a tree quite a bit.

Fossil evolutions are out!
(http://a.disquscdn.com/uploads/mediaembed/images/625/7510/original.jpg)
-
...I'm gonna be singing that T Rex song from Nostalgia Critic's review of Jurassic Park whenever it's used arnt I? XD
-
I think I have fallen in love with the T-Rex...
Now for a good nickname...
-
Aurorus is fantastic. It's on my team no matter what.
-
The ice one's evo looks cool. The little one still looks pretty naff in my opinion, though.
-
DINOSAURS!!!!
...Ahem, sorry about that... Anyway, these two fossil Pokemon will definitely be on my team. These are hands down my favourite Pokemon revealed so far this gen (except MegaAbsol, but the Megas don't really count as new Pokemon in my eyes).
We've got an Amargasaurus-inspired sauropod, which looks amazingly elegant. There's some pretty clever naming here- "Amarga" means bitter in Spanish, and bitter can have the meaning of very cold, referencing this Pokemon's type. "aura" could be being used to reference mystery - nobody has produced convincing evidence for a particular use of the sail-like skin structures that are thought to have been stretched across Amargasaurus's back. Awesome typing.
And, as I expected (I'm amazed they held off for so long) a Tyrannosaurus Rex. Credit where it's due, it is closest to the Tyrannosaurus Rex in characteristics out of the Tyrannisauridae family - although I won't detail why, this is a Pokemon forum, not a paleontology one! I do like it, although it's name lacks imagination.
And the other new reveals. Frogadier and Braixen show some serious potential. I suspect that the latter will have male and female forms. Female Pyroar I like, male not so much. Meowstick I can take or leave. Quilladin has one more chance to impress me, otherwise it can go roll down a hill. Furfrou is quite interesting, although predictable. I'll see what other styles are revealed before seeing about using one.
-
^With Furfrou, I'm hoping you can make it have a mohawk and dye its hair green and orange. Not sure why I would want a mohawk on it since that is a bit odd but I do. I like Quilladin's name and I have always liked Mud Shot since it was first introduced but its body shape bothers me and I am freaked out over that creepy face it has. It just is so creepy the way it stares at you. Sort of like the Billy dummy from the SAW movies stare at the "players" of the "games" either in person or from the TV screen does before the horrible deaths that usually end up happening.
-
Perhaps it'll be like the Trainer customization with outfits like the main Pokemon website has in the Trainer Builder section.
If you can buy clothes for the trainer to customise, does it mean that you can buy swimsuits too?
Anyway, nice to see that Game Freak gone with Cretaceous period with fossil Pokémon and release a T-Rex Pokémon for X and Y. Also did they made a trilobite Pokémon before?

...Have you been playing Dragon Quest, by any chance?
I think that was Kabuto. not entirely certain, though.

Yeah, I did. I played it before. I think Game Freak took a leaf from Square Enix when making Pokémon X and Y with the customisation.

I only want a Tuxedo for my trainer, then I'll be happy.

Oh good lord, it's going to be like TF2 all over again.
"Pokemon - Japan's number one hat-themed zoo simulator, with RPG-style battles."

^THIS so much!
Also, guys, is anyone else finding it hard to follow/discuss in this topic. I just think things would be more organised for discussion if we had separate topics for announcements and left this topic for SPECULATION. Just an opinion of mine that has been floating around.

Unfortunately ever since we get a steady stream of news, this is becoming more of an announcement one. But I'll speculate something here:
I guess that instead of just getting one of the two or so fossils like you do in the previous Pokémon games, you have a chance to take all of the fossils.
-
^I like that idea. Sort of like how in BW2 Join Avenue you can get ALL the fossils and the previous gen's fossils from the Worker in Twist Mountain. The only other time where a player could get the other fossil they didn't choose was in Emerald. That made getting ALL the fossils fun!

Couldn't you already do that with mining in DPP? (I think it was those). The fossils look so great that I hope we can eventually get them all with enough time and effort.
I guess someone could make a "Latest News" thread, might be a bit late but they're supposed to be revealing a new one today.

^Not quite. The Gen 4 fossils were version exclusives in DP and in Platinum, you could only get multiples of one depending of the last digit of your Trainer ID was even or odd. BW2 was the first game where you REALLY could get ALL the fossil Pokemon in one game.
