NOTE: Just a quick note that we will be covering a Nintendo Direct LIVE tomorrow at 7am PT / 10am ET / 3pm BST. Be sure to check back!
XY news is winding down for this month, and I don’t think we will get much until next month. But you probably want to discuss some rumours, so here they are! Today’s fake rumours come from a Spanish site called Leveleando. Thanks to Barry for the translation.
As an obvious note, we strongly believe these are fake. They are a mix of old rumours, obvious facts and some really strange things! I will provide my opinion on almost each of them!
- There are two versions of Gogoat. The female is different from the male and has much smaller horns. The male can be ridden in the field while the female cannot. Version differences sounds possible. But why wouldn’t I be able to ride a female Gogoat? Sounds sexist in my opinion.
- Chespin’s evolution resembles a football player. Fennekin’s evolution resembles a flying fox with large wings. Froakie’s evolution line resembles a ninja. A football player? A flying fox?! The only thing that could see the light of day is probably the ninja.
- There are a lot of new Pokémon. More then any current generation. More new Pokémon than Generation V? I’m not sure if I want that if they put in lots of filler Pokémon.
- Sylveon is the only new Eevee evolution. But I want my Dragon Eevee! A Dragon and a Fairy seems likely to me, given the paired Eevee’s in the past. Don’t think that will happen though.
- Mawile, Absol, Misdreavus, Milotic (but not Feebas), Chimecho, Uxie, Mesprit and Azelf get a type change to Fairy. Absol is fit for pure Dark. Dark/Fairy maybe?
- Eevee, Mawile, Sableye, Dunsparce, Bannette, Tauros, Heracross, Pinsir, Bisharp, Maractus, Drifloon will get new evolutions. While Lickitung, Throh, Sawk,and Absol get pre-evolutions
- There are two teams, Team Acid and Team Base. Team Acid is a group of thugs who wish to create the “final” type. Team Base steals weak Pokémon from trainers to make them strong. Acid and Base? I’m more inclined to believe that the theme for XY is land versus sky. Team Terra and Team Aero seem more plausible.
- Xerneas and Yveltal represent life and death. The region has had countless wars. Since Pokémon battles started and used to resolve disputes, the region has been a peaceful place. Let’s end war with resorting to helpless creatures that fight it out for us instead!
- One of the new legendary Pokémon is based on a classic chinese dragon. It is Dragon and Fire. When was the last time we got a Dragon/Fire?
- There is a Fairy/Steel legendary that looks like an “angelic knight”
- Legendaries will be DLC. No word yet whether you’ll have to pay. Does this pertain to the event Pokémon? Because it seems likely they will spread them as DLC to prevent early leaking. I’m sure they will be free though
- The player can get different outfits throughout the game, including one based on the white suit of Team Rocket. Other costumes may be distributed through DLCs. Costume DLC seems possible, like they did with C-Gear skins and other minor stuff. Iwata has said that he doesn’t think paid DLC is a fit for every game, and used Pokémon as an example.
- There will be new fossil Pokémon. It would be more surprising if there wouldn’t be any.
- You’ll be able to transfer up to 25 Pokémon at a time from your generation 5 games to X and Y. No mini game for this is required. Sounds too good to be true without a mini-game. I would certainly appreciate this though.
- Gyms are Bug-type, Fairy, Normal, Fighting, Ghost, Ice, Fire and Psychic. No Dark again?
- This time the Elite Four is not based on types, but in stats, more specifically in HP, Attack, Defense and Speed. The Champion uses a mixed team. Does he mean the Champion uses mixed stat Pokémon? Because it would be strange to mention he uses a mixed type team, seeing as every other E4 should use one.
- You will have four different rivals. A childhood friend, a fat kid millionaire, and a Hiker. The fourth rival isn’t described. Don’t get why a Hiker would be my rival
That’s it for today! Keep checking back, as we will have some extra articles about the recently revealed news and obviously more rumours! In the meanwhile, discuss these rumours in the comments below.
~Dae~
And one of the rumors stated that Helioptile doesn’t evolve.
that would suck
Because it doesn’t look like it can’t evolve?
Nope, because it looks like something that will evolve. It looks incomplete. it’s solar panel frill should definitely get bigger
Yeah it really would be a let down.
I found the pic you are referring to…
Chespin Evo looks terrible but the other fakes are ok
…..no
…just no…this evolution chain is not probable
Lol I know I could tear this fake apart in minutes must its not worth the effort 😉
Haha yeah that’s for sure. I can tell so far by the Pokemon revealed so far that the starter evolutions will be great designs.
That’s what I though too when I saw the Gen V starters.
Definitely! Although the official gen V starters grew on me. I didn’t really like their evolutions. Hopefully gen VI will have more thought put into the starters
Glad that these are fanmade xD The creator, seiku88, has Chespin’s as Grass/Fight, whereas the rumor stated them to be Grass/Dark.
Uh the description sounds way cooler than what this person delivered, just saying.
By football player, maybe they mean soccer. I’m not saying I like the idea but picture a final evo with long feet like chespin kicking a shelled chesnut, it reminds me of football.
Team Acid & Base and the Elite 5 thing sounds cool, besides that… meh, with a grain of salt most likely fake.
I would like a rival who actually becomes something throughout the main storyline again. Like Gary.
He certainly became a bigger douche. Although I’d like another douche rival.
Sigh. My hopes for an Elite Four of Grass, Normal, Electric, Flying–All unused before are smashed if the rumour is true.
The guy admited this spoilers are fake.
And WPM has stated he will not give any spoilers anymore. Again, he’s a douche.
^This…that goes for anyone who still belives in this rumours…lol
We never believed them in the first place. These are pure for reading pleasure 🙂
According to the rumour from “Monsieur Leaker”:
Bug Gym Leader is female, a horticulturist with short hair and wearing a gardener’s outfit.
Didn’t we see in the city where the protagonist sits on the bench, that there’s a “Greenhouse Gym”?
Could be legit, but this Monsieur may’ve noticed it too and thus attach more rumours about it.
There is only 1 Eevee Evolution this time though~ Sylveon. They would have shown the other one since they advertised every eevee evolution being in the short movie and it only shows the current ones + Sylveon
The eevee in the short could very easily evolve into another new eeveelution.
I hope this most of this is fake and the real stuff is a whole lot better. Although I think the Starter Evos sound cool.
So WPM said that this is all fake and he has just a little bit more of what he already shared with us and he will tell us today when SMASH airs. And now his source is M.I.A.
This is all too convenient, I thought from the beginning that he had no more infos or why he leaked just that ones? They’re too random, he probably shared what he had at the time and now he has a tiny little more that “the source” told him before going mia.
Is there any evidence that there is gonna be a type called “Fairy”. I swear I hope there is no fairy type Absol becoming a fairy type sounds awful.
Is there any evidence that there is going to be a new type? Absol becoming fairy type seems awful it doesn’t look fairy like at all and its already Dark type.
Where have you been hiding the past two months? And the article is a bit off, should be getting an added fairy type while another group will get changed to fairy. So dark/fairy.
I’m saying was there any confirmation of a new type? I know all about the news. Absol becoming Dark/Fairy is even worst
I knew about the fairy type probably just as long as you but Absol though? that sounds horrible
the one about the trainer outfits is true…….well the fact that you can change your outfit at a later point in the name.
