Topic: Pokemon X and Y: Speculation

[Alpha Fenrir]

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

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).

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.

 

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

[Draghost999]

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.

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.

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

[Spriter]

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?

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'...

[Sappy]

So what did everyone think of the stater evolves?

It makes me want Fennekin more than Chespin. And Froakie's starting to look cool.

[Captain Jigglypuff]

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?

[RocketMember002]

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.
