The E3 Nintendo Direct has confirmed that Fairy Type is now a real type! It is Super Effective against Dragon Type Pokémon, but other type effectiveness has yet to be confirmed. A new Fairy Type attack was also released; Moonblast damages foes and can also lower Sp Atk. Some Fairy Type Pokémon:
- Sylveon
- Marill (Water/Fairy)
- Gardevoir (Psychic/Fairy)
- Jigglypuff (Normal/Fairy)
Two new Pokémon were also revealed! Vivillon is a new Bug/Flying Pokémon and is able to learn the move Struggle Bug. Vivillon is said to evolve from a Pokémon called Spewpa. The other new Pokémon is Noivern which is Flying/Dragon and learns a new move known as Boomburst.
A few other tidbits were also revealed:
- Games launch worldwide on October 12th
- Male protagonist is named Xavier
- New “Pokémon-Amie” feature brings some pet simulation elements to X & Y
- Another new Fairy Type move has been shown, being used by Gardevoir. It is known as Fairy Wind.
[UPD 1]: PokéBeach has captured some photographs from another trailer at E3, the trailer shows three new Pokémon and a new female character. One screenshot also seems to confirm that Sky Battles are in the game. No further details are known but we will be covering the session later this evening LIVE. The images are below.
[UPD2]: Bulbagarden has posted an image showing how Sky Battles will look in X&Y. Find it below!
We will to continue to update this post!
The new bat Ppkemon is awesome and that attack it used was killer, and I love that little Butterfly, it’s so cute!
ANF FINALLY! FAIRY TYPE IS REAL! AND MOON BLAST MADE SYLVEON EPIC AGAIN!
WAS THAT A RHYHORN OUTSIDE OF YOUR HOUSE?! POKEMON XY COMING ON THE 12TH OF OCTOBER?
I’m done, my body isn’t ready, and to think we’re still getting CoroCoro, Smash, and the Roundtanle later
Someone get me some water x.x
x’D I don’t think we will get much more news, that trailer was just…….Woah!
please tell me that i am not the only one thinking that pokemon- Amie is some how related to how feebas will evolve
Feebas now evolves when trading with Prism Scale, right? Do you think they would retreat this and return to the old method?
Just a guess but Slyveon looks like a special attacker
oh yeah and new grass/fairy type!!!!111!1212
GARDEVOIR LEARNS FAIRY WIND!!!!! am I the only one to catch that?
Haha I got that too! It’s crazy to see gardevoir as a fairy type •=• I wonder if its a dual psychic/fairy type
Yes it is.
Yes, it is confirmed Psychic/Fairy.
Hopefully they will bring back arceus in future 6th gen movies explaining how there was a new type made.
I think the story would be that arceus would have became friends with a human again then his friend died or something, causing him to make a new type or something in memory of his friend. OR their excuse would be that the fairy type only exists in kalos, leading to the other regions having myths with the fairy type not included.
Any one notice the ryhorn in your front garden or the gym logo(yellow,maybe electric) on the effile tower
No more electric gyms please.
Why not? It fits in well with the mission of Gyms, because Electric is only weak to Ground. Plus, Helioptile needs a place to shine. :3
Electric type was spotlighted during Black and White with Roller Coaster and runway gyms. Giving it Eiffel tower, dunno.
Think about it. The town is called Lumiose City, with all the electricity needed for a city like that, it’d make sense for it to be an electric gym. Lumiose has “Lum” from Illuminate in it, Illuminate means to light up, which if thought about, would mean that electricity light’s up. It all fit’s together.
I’ve seen it before with Nimbasa.
Lol We’ve ALL seen it before, what difference does it make.
Kanto: 3rd Gym
Johto: N/A
Hoenn: 3rd Gym
Sinnoh: 8th Gym
Unova: 4th Gym
Kalos: Unkown
Every Region except Johto had an electric type gym (Excluding Lt.Surge Post game) Even if Kalos had one, would it really be that big of a deal?
It’s basically a big antenna.
Steel type?
Antennas work on electricity.
fairy wind. fairy wind! am I the only one who caught that? Gardevoir used it in the scene after sylveon used moon blast.
At 1:20 -1:23 in the video.
We better be able to transfer our old Pokemon! I have a shiny Eevee waiting to become a Shiny FAIRY-TYPE Sylveon!!!
I bet we will because you could transfer Pokemon from one game to another since gen 1
I wonder if sylveons new move, Moon Blast, will become more powerful at night??? just a thought
effile tower gym
That reminds me of Pikachu thundering from the top of the tower haha
“Hast du Lust auf einen Himmelskampf gegen mich…” is the beginning of a german phrase meaning “Do you want to …… a sky battle against me?”
SKY BATTLES CONFIRMED
Don’t you think that the seahorse is in fact Inkay or Malimar, the pokemon supposedly revealed by the pokebeach source?
until i see some names stating that it is Inkay or Malimar or a other pokemon the source talks about. i will continue to take that info with a grain of salt
so the house you come out of? is that your starting town? or just a random house?
ok so the roof is brown so it is either the town all the way to the left by the ocean, the upper part of the town with the clocktree, or part of the mansion that everyone says you’ll start your adventure.
Jeepers, I’m having a bit of an information overload with this AND smash bros. I don’t know where to look or what to think yet.
I’m pretty happy with Fairy type, it should definitely spice things up a bit.
i am glad they reclassified marill it might make it usefull
Well I’m happy got a new type & best of all a release date October 12th! 🙂
Azumarill is a big winner here. It was already strong and had good defenses but now its stronger against Dragons than it already was
I don’t know how being weak to Poison will play out
I know!! I love playing him in 5g, and I’m so excited about his fairy typing!
Azumarill has Bulldoze (to counter pure Poison-types) and Ice Punch (for Grass/Poison, Poison/Flying, and Poison/Ground).
Noisey wyvern…. Ill ride that thing all day
it looks like a swoobat evo… sorta.
You thinking dragon scale woobat split??
I thought It was a over sized bat before coming here and seeing it was Flying/Dragon
Thank god. That was all I needed was for gamefreak to confirm that several pokemon won’t be turning Fairy-Type like that rumor suggested. I’m completely comfortable with the new Type now. I was getting worried they was going turn many normal-types and other types that don’t have any fairy looking relations to Fairy type. Thank God. I’m even more excited about the games now.
On Pokemon.com they still have 2 more slots to reveal I wonder what those are?!?! I’m really pumped now for the games feel like Sapphire and Ruby all over again 😀
Strategy and new_feature. I found them in the source code long ago and there are placeholder pages in place.
Ahhh. I see
what could be the “new feature”?? the gyroscope in inkay’s evolution??
Azurill is a special kind of Pokemon gains two different types upon evolving. I wonder if they’re going to change its Normal type to pure Fairy type?
or normal/fairy
Water/Fairy would be its type since Marill is Water/Fairy
They didn’t type it Water in the first place, so?
オンバーン（Noivern）’s name：オン（Noise）＋ワイバーン（Wyvern）
But…ビビョン（Vivillon）‘s name，I don’t know……may be papillon（the Lepidoptera of French）?
When i first saw Noivern i thought it’s ears were it’s eyes xD
That’s called natural deception. 🙂
Noivern the bat dragon. king of all bat pokemon
Now give me my Dragon type Eeevee to go along with Sylveon!
all for that
I do wonder how they are going to explain Sylveon. And now Dragon Eeveelution?
How did they explain all those other 548 Pokémon?
I see you don’t get what I’m saying. It’s all about eevee’s adaptation, i wonder what eevee is adapting to while evolving to Sylveon. Can’t I wonder?
Acceptance of gay marriage in the world
Lol
Yes ! After that they can stop giving Eevee more evolutions and I would perectly fine.
Weeeeelll…
Umbreon was supereffective against Espeon, and Glaceon was supereffective against Leafeon, so a dragon Eeveelution for Sylveon to be supereffective against is certainly a possibility.
In German Noivern is called UHafNir and I wonder why it’s so strangely capitalized. It’s even like that on the official page`?
Wow, Noivern looked horrible until I enlarged the picture and realized what I thought were eyes were just it’s ears, lol.
Haha, I thought those were it’s eyes too! Thankfully I was wrong!
