Update: The legendary Pokémon’s names have been confirmed as Xerneas and Yveltal according to the official Pokémon site . Any ideas about the name origin guys? The whole Yggdrasil theory is looking more and more likely by the moment.
These games will be launched simultaneously worldwide in October 2013! Here’s the information we have so far: [list style=”orb” color=”green”]
- Overworld and battles are now full 3D
- Grass starter is Chespin (Japanese name, Harimaron, based on ‘chesnut’ and ‘[pine] needle’)
- Fire starter is Fennekin (Japanese name, Fokko, based on ‘fox’ and ‘child’)
- Water starter is Froakie (Japanese name, Keromatsu, based on sound a frog makes and ‘bubbles/foam’)
[/list] WOW! Generation VI is a huge step forward. What do you think?!

ps- sorry for site errors! So many people!

I think the keromatsu is frog+foam(matsu)
Foam/Bubbles. I agree with you 🙂
What the fuck. Ok guess I was wrong again. Still seems too early
in the video, Chespin used Solarbeam on Magikarp and nightslash on golurk soI assume its grass/dark
Fokko (best japanese name ever) used flamethrower and what looks like psywave, so fire/psychic
Frog used what looked like water gun and then some fighting move, so it could be water/fighting
this would be the long sought dark – psychic – fighting trio we hoped for since gen 4. It also gives the weaker pokemon a super effective hit on the type they should be weak to.
A lot of us here at pokejungle believe this too.
The Frog could have also used a Normal type move. Fury Swipes could have been used or as some sites had it, Tackle.
Starters are probably fire-psychic, water-poison, and plain grass
It would be kind of cool if we could use miis as trainers
Ok oK I got it.. Froakie: 18th century french man with white wig and typical tiny glasses..

LOL!
I think it’ll be pretty damn awesome!
=]
OMGOMGOMG Am’I dreaming? PINCH ME XD lol this is awesome!
Oh man this is so cool!!! I’m so excited to start a new journey in a new region and in 3D no less!! haha I’m still not sure which starter I should pick. I’ll prolly know when they reveal the evolutions of them tho.
Omg exited!
the eagle one is called Bijofnil
there’s one problem with that though, there are 4 stags that guards the Ygg tree.
BTW, the dragon’s name is Nidhoggr.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yggdrasil Read the first paragraph at the end, three creatures that live in yggdrasil are an eagle, a dragon and an stag. Two of which are the legendaries, so third could be the dragon. This is norse mythology, would fit in with europe theme. Also, norse mythology would be awesome, thor god like pokemon oh and don’t forget the big thing in norse mythology. Ragnorok. Basically armageddon! Wasn’t there an interview or something that said, the pokemon world would face a global crisis. Don’t get more global than the end of the world!!
Nice work! We figured out about the stag and it being Norse related (Like Princess Mononoke Forest Spirit), fertility and life. Then we found out about the eagle, though we didn’t pick up on the dragon. Great work!
ALso the Yggdrasil is what the dream tree in dream world is based off no?
There are 4 stags that live in the tree, the Eagle that has a Hawk that sits between its eyes, a Squirrel that runs between the top and bottom, and Nidhoggr who is trapped beneath the roots.
More than 3 creatures live in Yggdrasil
I can’t think straight. The only thing running through my head is more Pokemon. I need help
Ahh this looks so amazing! For once I love all the starters (Although Fennekin looks out of this world). It looks like we finally get some customisation. Only thing I don’t like is that it’s still grid like movement but that’s easy to look past XD
Absolutely stunned… I never thought we’d get so much at once. I thought at most we’d get the protagonist and the two mascots. I like all of it really. I get this feeling though that the types will be along the lines of this:
Grass Starter – Grass/Fighting
Water Starter – Water/Flying or Water
Fire Starter – Fire/Psychic or Fire or maybe Fire/Normal
Bird Legandary – Flying/Psychic or Flying/Steel
Deer Legendary – Steel/Psychic, Steel/Fighting or Fighting/Psychic
Another thought on the water starter typing… it kinda looks like the shape of a poison dart frog so maybe it’ll be water/poison. Only the general shape resemble each other though, not the patterns. Just a thought though.
Sorry for the triple oost but after watching the trailer for the 100th time, to me it looks like the grass starter used x-scissor which is bug type but many non-bug types learn it. It also looks like the Fire starter used smog or confuse ray, which again, many non poison and psychic types learn. Then there is the water starter who looks like he may have used either mach punch or quick attack. So I don’t think those attacks have any baring on the starters eventual typing, any or some of them recieve dual typing. Also, sorry for not using their names, still trying to memorize them.
This was a surprise. I didn’t expect Gen 6 yet. I thought they’d milk Black and White 2 for at least another year.
I really like the fire starter this time around, and the others are growing on me. I’m glad they are updating the game.
There are no words that can be used to explain this…..unless they are AMAZING, EXCITING, SUPER, etc…. I am sooooo excited!!!!!!
I acctually don’t understand about what you pple wondering, the X created male pkmns the Y female pkmns or viceversa probably thats why legendaries didn’t have gender, because they’re god like creatures, but I don’t know why magnemite or others didn’t have gender maybe because they were created by humans
ASDFGHJKL!!! Okay first of all, Chespin using what looks like Solarbeam on a Magikarp? Not fair!
I’m so excited for this but it does feel like Spectrobes (well the overworld sprites do anyway)
Definitely getting all 3 starters on one game (whatever it takes).
I suspect Fennekin will be Fire/Psychic or Dark, Froakie Water/Flying or Ice and Chespin Grass/Ground or Fighting.
The names X & Y make me think of Chromosomes and DNA and that stuff (So the sequels will be Pokemon A, C, G & T…physics joke) and when I read about the DNA helix thingy, it makes sense for Poke fusion or creation (or something to that nature) but I have no idea how the Legendaries will relate to that.
I would think that the new games will be set in Europe (because of the Eiffel tower looking thing, the random desert and the forests)
That will be all…except BRING ON THE RUMOURS N STUFF!
I am speculating Grass / Dark, Fire / Psychic and Water / Fighting
If I am not mistaken, Chespin used Night Slash, Fennekin used Psybeam and Froakie used some Fighting-type move.
Possibly close combat 🙂
I think it’s close combat.
I got this 1st than anybody
Chespin is gonna be a hedgehog. Grass/Dark and is gonna have spines like pine needles on its back.
Fennekin will be Fire/Ghost, based on Fox spirits. Final evo will have lil floating flames around.
And Froakie will be Water/fighting. and will look like an old style gentleman/butler with white beard glasses and the white gloves
Ohhhhh yeeeeeah!
I told him all that. 😛
•Chespin is based on a hedgehog. A hedge is a fence or boundary formed by closely growing bushes or shrubs. As for it’s possible secondary typing… I have no idea so far. Chespin fought a Golurk, a Ground/Ghost-type. The move it used looked like either Aerial Ace or Night Slash. I’m leaning towards Aerial Ace, but Night Slash IS a Dark-type move, which Golurk is weak against. Some people are saying Dark, but… well, many people also thought Tepig was gonna be a Fire/Dark-type solely because it had some black on it’s face. People weren’t please when it evolved onto it’s hind legs and gained a liking to punching things. So, we’ll see.
•Unlike Vulpix and Ninetales, which are based on the Kyuubi (Nine-tailed Fox), Fennekin will most likely be based on the yokai Kitsune, the fox spirit. Therefore, I believe it won’t be Fire/Psychic as most are presuming. It’ll likely be a Fire/Ghost-type combination. Also, I don’t recall Psychic-type moves begin shot out of mouths. Plus, Kirlia, a Psychic-type, was most likely shown because of it’s weakness to Ghost-types moves.
•Froakie… is just awesome~<3 I usually choose Grass-type starters… but, it's soooo hard to resist (hypno-toad) it. It looks sorta elegant with it's tiny glasses like foam placed in front of it's eyes like that and it's cute little white gloves~<3 Might evolve into a tall frog gent with a monocle. Who knows? As for it's typing… No idea other than a possible Water/Fighting combo, seeing as they choose Patrat, a Normal-type, for the second move demonstration. No idea what move THAT was, but it looked speedy. Foam is light, after all.
All of the Pokemon designs look awesome except for the bird legendary (looks meh…) and I swear that have seen the those starters in a fake corocoro leak… not sure which one I want though They all look awesome!!! I never wanted all 3 starters before!!
Gym leader guesses:statue= ground type leader,
web building=bug,
and… ummm… cant guess that other one…
I also love the 3d!
It also seems that the male character all have the same sense of fashion for the past 3 gens… (brown hair blue jacket…)
Heres to hoping for customization of the pc
Oh man I’m soooo excited for this. Gen VI here we come! The fire starter looks amazing and the gyms so far look great. I believe the area with the fire shooting up is a gym because they never show anything with the elite before the games come out. Which is good because we needed another fire type gym. Just give us a dark gym and I’ll be happy.
I’ve been following this story for a while and thought I might as well join in. Personal opinions, well …
Chespin -> Awesome! Definately going to be my starter when I get Pokemon X.
Fennekin -> Didn’t like it at first and now it looks rather cute! Might get this as my starter for Pokemon Y.
Froakie -> Interesting design and hope it has an awesome evolutionary line.
So far Generation VI is looking to be the best one so far!!!!
Everyone is talking about dual types but maybe none of them will have a secondary type. Maybe we will have pure Grass/Fire/Water.
Honestly couldnt be happier.
This is such a massive amount of news, and im glad that the starters seem a little different than the contemperary starters from the past. They seem different somehow, but in a really good way 🙂 Chespin and Froakie look amazing but i always go with a water type, so Froakie welcome to the team buddy 😀 Fennekin will hopefully stays as a quadruped 🙂
The legendaries look great, its really hard to choose one over the other. Epic looking is the ony word.
All in all unless there are seriously awsome Version differences/Pokemon in Pokemon Y. Ill be getting Pokemon X. 😀
THIS IS ALL SO AMAZING. Black 2 was so boring actually, so I’m really excited to see what’s next in the series! Although I’m really upset there’s no new Eeveelution announcement I actually got out of bed because I couldn’t stop imagining it… But I don’t see why they wouldn’t try to make one to make it compatible with the past, more multi-generational bonds would be nice to see, maybe Luvdisc evolves into something from this generation then to Alomamola, (finally) I predict we’ll see less Pokemon than generation 2 this generation, in fact the game would surely benefit from it, due to the audience never seeing some of the generation 1 pokemon in 3D before. I hope more leaks and maybe these legendary names will come into play soon. I mean, ten months is a long time to wait. But perhaps I’ll finally keep this generation off my mind and experience the game first-hand when it comes out. But I’m too hardcore to keep Pokemon off my mind.
Ohgod this is so exciting, I could throw up everywhere. The whole feel of the game has changed, it doesn’t even feel like Pokemon anymore, but I’m not complaining. It looks incredible!
As for the starters, they seem more like fan-made Pokemon, but finally a fire one I love! I hope it stays quadruped though because, y’know, it’s about time for one of those. I’m not a huge fan of Chespin yet but I’m very excited to see its final form. And the deer legendary.. JKSHFDJ I love it so. I have been waiting for a deer legendary for like 34 years & it’s perfect. Seriously can’t wait for these games.
So this marks the first time that they’ve venture outside of the reptilian/dino for for the grass type, so happy about that. It really increases a lot of opportunities for future grass type koala, panda/redpanda, fruit bat, some type of bird, maybe even one day they’ll make sole plant based grass starter.
As for Fennekin I’m guessing it’s supposed to take the place of the dog in the Chinese Zodiac, It seems very likely to be Fire/Ghost if not oh well.
Froakie is too cute, water/fighting to me seems more likely than water/flying by the way.
Love the whole revelation it was about time they updated the games this much, I’m guessing they were just waiting for the right technology to come out though (3ds). The Legendaries are Awesome! Wonder if they’ll release a Pokemon Z it would be awesome with a Dragon!
