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!

If you pause the video at about 0:12, you can see that Pikachu is standing on top of the Eiffel Tower! Pretty much confirms it’s based on France! 😀
Pikachu’s electric storm thinger also originates in Europe when it zooms out. I’m pretty sure they will base this region on all of Europe, not just France.
That’s very true, actually, I hadn’t thought of that! I’d love to see a variety of European landmarks represented in some way, I really love European stuff 😀
The Trainers look pretty plain this generation.
Might be an indication that we’ll be able to customize them to our liking?
:O
Hats, shirts, gloves, pants, shoes, bags, and other accessories.
Hair dyes. Tanning salons for different skin tones? Lol
I reeeeally hope we can customize our trainers, especially since Pokemon nowadays really likes to emphasize the whole play-with-anyone-and-everyone-worldwide thing. We might be able to play Pokemon with others in more ways than battling. Its a whole new world to explore… and maybe with others. Who knows how big it is?
in the pokemon X and Y logos, the X i in blue and the Y is in red, could this mean that ruby and sapphire remakes will come after the release if these games?
Black and White 2 logos were red and blue as well so…
How would it mean that?
(PJ is so slooooow!)
My guesses on the secondary types for the final evolution’s of the Starter trio:
– Chespin – Grass/Fighting
– Fennekin – Fire/Ghost
– Froakie – Water/Poison
I’m also looking forward to the inevitable plethora of new Pokemon which should come next month with Corocoro. Hopefully!
Now I know as staff I should show a sense of maturity but… OMG I’M SO DAMN EXCITED :O THIS IS SO AMAZING, I CAN’T BELIEVE HOW AWESOME IT IS 😀 What’s not to like?? I’ll miss sprites for sure, but everything they’ve show looks fantastic and it seems like it’s heading in the right direction. I can’t get over the shock, I’m shaking with excitement…
10 Months till they arrive!
Hopefully seasons stick around. If so, can we finally get a pumpkin Pokemon for Autumn’s Halloween?! A Grass/Ghost-type that learns Will o’ Wisp would be awesome.
They could ‘ p r o b a b l y ‘ throw a turkey Pokemon in there, but it’ll be weird since we all know it’s suppose to get eaten…
Anyway, I’d also love a cheetah Pokemon, Electric-type.
Oh! And a roach Pokemon, Bug/Dark-type for those evil little bast…! *ahem*
I wonder what type those legendary Pokemon are gonna be.
Eagle Y looks sorta Psychic/Flying to me, but then again a lot of us weren’t really spot on when it came to Zekrom and Reshiram, if I remember correctly.
X… That… Pokemon… It’s hard to put into words what I think of it. Weird? Crazy? Extraterrestrial? Yeah. Those would be the words. The legendary Stag X’s horns contain four different colors, blue (kinda aqua), purple (kinda lavender), red and yellow from top to bottom. Hmm.
This is the time to pay close attention to details because no one really understood Black & White’s mascot’s tails til later on, when they began to glow with thermal energy. Then everyone’s like, “Oh, I knew that!”
So, I wonder if we really will get a new Pokemon type. Will it be… *dun dun duuun* the Cosmic-type?! The Eevee short’s title for the next movie DOES have TWO stars in that last katakana character. Maybe they’ll reveal another new Pokemon that’s a Cosmic-type? Also, at 1:01 in the trailer, that Gym DID look like a possible Cosmic-type gym, no? There’s also the possibly irrelevant Wish used by Audino at 1:04. But, why show a Gen 3 move that involves a star falling outta the cosmos now for a Gen 6 trailer?? Hmm….
Maybe both Eagle Y and Stag X are legendary Cosmic-type Pokemon!! *gasp*
So.Much.To.Think.About.
I can’t wait to learn more about the X-Legendary and Y-Legendary Pokemon. I’m hoping the news is going to slow down any time soon!
Is the site having an overload or something because it loads really slow for me?
#My thoughts (Speculation)#
Chespin- Name etymology Chestnut and Pine. Possibly a Pine Marten? The only one that I dont know the base aninal for.
Type: Grass -> Grass/Dark -> Grass/Dark
Fennekin- Name etymology Fennec (fox) and Kindle. Fennec Fox base.
Type: Fire -> Fire/Psychic -> Fire/Psychic
Froakie- Name etymology Froth and Croak. Based on a Frog
Type: Water -> Water/Fighting -> Water/Fighting
The reason for those typings is that in the video, the starters are shown using Grass, Fire and Water type moves respectively, but also other moves that look suspiciously like Dark, Psychic and Fighting moves!
#My Opinions#
I went mental after seeing the video today! It was such an awesome amalgamation of nostalgia and excitement over new things.
I really like the look of the game. It clearly is still an overworld Pokemon game, which is a relief. I still need more battle screenshots before I’m happy with the look of that, but overall, I like it a lot.
I also really like the starters! Design-wise, they look great. I like Fennekin the least (I’ve never been a fan of “elegant” pokemon, unfortunately), but nevertheless I still like it and I could see myself using all three! The legendaries also look cool, not as big and bulky as others, which is good.
So, overall, I’m really looking forward to gen 6 in October (oh yeah, and the worldwide release is ridiculously awesome.
Chespin is based off of a hedgehog.

After having a few hours to process all this information, i thought i would share my thoughts.
Starters:
Grass Type: Looks really good, i like how it is not reptilian based anymore.
Fire Type: Probably the most simple but best design wise. I think it is about time a starter is introduced that is sort of feminine but awesome.
Water Type: My least favorite water starter of all time. Looks like a grandmother frog. I think another pokemon should have the honors to be the water type starter infront of him.
Gameplay:
Absolutely love how the game will be in 3D. That being said, it is hard to rate the game right now seeing it in 2D. I am one of those people that will find it hard to adjust to the scenery and stuff like that.I am used to pokemon being pixelated and sprite based, so the new cartoon look to it will eat me up at the beginning, hopefuly i can warm up on that and stop trying to get in the way of progress. With the limited gameplay we have seen, the characters look kinda awkward when they walk or run, but again, we have only seen soo little of the game so far, so we shall see how that ends up.
Battles: The battles are beautiful, enough said. The emotional expressions on the pokemon’s faces are wonderful in battle. The fact that the physical moves actually make contact also brings me joy. I must say that i thought that they would have used the 3D sprites from the pokedex app on the 3DS, but at this point, i can live with them.
Right now, i am still at a point where i can’t believe that a new pokemon game is coming out, it brings me back memories from the reveal of BW. I think that most pokemon fans wish that their favorite animal will be picked as a starting type pokemon, and for me that happened with the release of Oshawott, so i must say i am not as excited with the reveal of the starters this time around, even though 2/3 are simply amazing. I hope to not sound too harsh on the game, but as a pokemon fan since the “almost” begining ( i was born the same year pokemon red/blue came out, so my first pkmn game was crystal) it is both a great joy to see this franchise still dominating the market and also an emotional though about how far this franchise has gone and how much things have changed. Anyone else get misty eyed when the pokemon game timeline was playing in the livestream?? Anways, feel free to completely dissagree with me, maybe i am being to harsh, idk. One thing is for sure, i will forever be a pokemon fan. 😀
“Fire Type: Probably the most simple but best design wise. I think it is about time a starter is introduced that is sort of feminine but awesome.”
Chikorita says, “Hi. What are you trying to say? Am I not awesome enough for you, Chicolombia?”
*Chikorita used Vine Whip!*
Lol its true that chikorita was feminine and awesome! And to this day its my favorite grass starter.
What i meant by most simple design wise was in Generation 6, not all time, lol. It is just an orange fox, lol. See, no offense to Chikorita fans (my sister is one of them), i saw Chikorita as a green blob with a leaf on top. I guess i see how that can be pretty simple…. lol. It is feminine though, i did not think about that starer line because it is not as talked about as much as the kanto trio or infernape and such. Oh, btw, Chicolombia avoided the attack!
Chikorita says, “A-a blob?!…with a leaf on top?!”
… *ahem*
“I-it’s OK, Chicolombia. I..forgive you. Hey, let’s hug it out.”
(^~^)’
*Chikorita used Sweet Scent!•Chicolombia’s Evasion fell!*
(☼\w/☼) ~ “Death…!”
“A green blob, huh?! I’ve got your green blob right HERE!”
*Chikorita used Energy Ball!•Critical hit! Chicolombia’s Sp. Def fell!*
“You wanna talk about leaves?!
“I’_L_L . s_H_o_W . y_O_u . L_e_A_v_E_s!! Aaaaghh!!”
*Chikorita used Leaf Storm!•Chicolombia fainted!*
“Call me a blob again and see what happens!
Chiko, I mean, Chikorita. With an exclamation mark.”

Hahahahahaa XD Too funny!!
Froakie •might• just end up being a Water/Ice-type!
This pic from Bulbapedia shows the Water-type attack it used and it looks like there might be snowflakes in it? Possible opposite to Scald where instead of causing a burn, it freezes?
http://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/0/00/Froakie_attacks.png
All just speculation, of course. Could just be added effects to make it look more watery. But, then again, that’s definitely not Water Gun it’s using, since the other starters are using pretty powerful moves. Chespin’s using what looks like Solarbeam and Fennekin is using what looks like Flamethrower.
Hydro pump, maybe?
I dunno. Looks a lil’ too weak to be Hydro Pump, but maybe.
I mean, Solorbeam didn’t •look• all that powerful either, but audio sure does add a lot to how powerful something seems.
I was thinking that move was closer to Flamethrower in terms of power than Solorbeam.
I love this speculation stuff 🙂
How about professor names?
Good ones are Hawthorn, Linden, Maple, Pine, and Spruce
Professor Pine has been a favourite of mine to appear in a game. Hopefully this will be that game!
Since old pokemons are available…… And there are other new pokemons that are not yet revealed…. Then an Eevee evolution would be possible
I hope for more eevee evolutions and I would love to see some older 1 stages get an evolution. Or a bridge between luvdisc and Alomomola.
Its Lucky my Girlfriends 3 months pregnant gives me something to do before these bad boys come out =D.
First off my first comment as a pokejungler and pretty cool to see Gen 6. Crazy cool and different step in the right direction. Love froakie and will start off with him keeping my tradition.
Someone did comment about DNA theme a couple articles ago, maybe a Iwata being a sneak spoiler.
As for the legendaries, could be themes of DNA and represent war & peace. Just excited for this Gen coming earlier than expected.
HAS NO ONE SEEN ROSA FROM GENERATION 5 WALKING WITH THE NEW PLAYER CHARACTER RIGHT BEFORE THEY ENCOUNTER A WILD PIKACHU?! 😉
This is going far, but maybe character customization IS possible, as well as CCo-op! Rosa seems to not be following right behind the player, and instead seems to be doing her own thing.
At first, I thought that your idea could be possible. After I watched the video again it looked like one of the trainers that runs around in a square.
After looking at the screenshots Serebii added, one screen shot makes it look like there is a grass gym, the part where the protagonist swings from the rope looks like it is a gym puzzle more so than an area you explore, because if you analyze the picture, you can see that the structures are man made, presumably made of metal, with a green tarp/flooring/cover on them. (Sorry for that insanely long run-on sentence) I think this could be a grass type gym, or maybe a new zoo feature, possibly a safari zone? Also, after looking at the screen shots, the attack used by Chespin looks more and more like shadow claw or cross poison(without the usual bubbling/oozing poison effect afterwards). Shadow claw seems much more likely considering it is used on a Golurk. Finally, there is also a screenshot with the male protagonist looking in a mirror, I think this might be where you can customize your character if that feature is in this game, which I think it will be, because it’d be kinda pointless to show that because they already showed the protagonist face, why show that if it is not to elude at something? Maybe I’m over-analyzing but its just fun to speculate with all this new information.
Sorry to double post, but after re-watching the video again, disregard the part I mentioned about the mirror as the screenshots were out of order, and the mirror scene does introduce us to the protagonist.
hmmmm wonder if there are ney types 😛
I like how, in battle, the Pokemon aren’t really sprites, but not really 3D models either…it’s like a happy median between the two! 😀
Yeah and also you know how when the pokemon gets attack or is attacking like the one where patrat get’s beat up by froakie or how when froakie was using watergun it made that angry face 😀 they make cool faces (basically when their attacking in battle)…
i am so ready for gen 6. the starters all look amazing and i love that the legendary pokemon arent dragons
I don’t remember if someone already asked this, but do you guys think we will get new information on the CoroCoro that is coming up?
I mean like, the legendary Pokemon names or maybe the regional bird-rodent-bug or something?
Ok first and foremost: Chespin, an incredibly cute pokemon that will probably be my starter, next, OMG like really a new region i am so excited this has brought my brother into life with pokemon and full 3d i have been waiting for that so i already have a 3ds customizable characters I am hoping and i am going for pokemon y unless some really big differences are in the games.
In an earlier post someone said that they thought they saw the starters before. IDK if it’s hindsight but they look familiar as well…anyone else?
Hopefully when we surf/fly we’ll get to see our PC actually riding said Pokemon. THAT WOULD BE AWESOME! Also, October release….hmm seems like a great Birthday present to me! Only bad thing that I see is that if there’s a bad glitch they won’t be able to fix it. (Then again I’m not really sure how all the glitching/patching works). Anyways great reveal for Generation 6! Sad we won’t get our RSE remakes…but hey now they’ll look even better! Getting Froakie on X and Fennekin on Y! Can’t wait!
