[vc_column_text title=”The Questions on Everybody’s Lips” pb_margin_bottom=”no” pb_border_bottom=”no” width=”1/1″ el_position=”first last”] As promised, we’re here to cover the developer presentation and Q&A session at E3. We’re still uncertain as to what exactly is going to be spoken about this evening, but rest assured that we’ll be bringing it to you as it happens! This coverage will only be text based, but it’s likely that there will be further updates as thing progress through the evening. We’ve already had some massive news today with the confirmation of the new Fairy type, new mechanics and even some new Pokémon. Will we get more tonight? Quite possibly… Whatever happens CoroCoro will also leak soon and we’re uncertain if the official X&Y sites have finished updating with what was supposedly coming on the 12th, or we’ve only got a snippet of the information. We’ll see, on with the coverage! Remember to Like us on Facebook and Follow us on Twitter. pokéjungle will hopefully be tweeting with LIVE updates over on Twitter, so following us there is a must! Want to continue the discussion?

  2. Oh THANK GOD ! I was literally in a sweat thinking you were not going to do this. :S this makes keeping up with news a lot easier. My twitter hates me and refused to refresh for me after I hit it for the 1,000,000,000 time in the last 40mins 😛 😀

  4. I hope they gives us some more info. They prolly won’t give us anymore heavy info like the reveal of another new Pokemon or character, but I’m hoping that they give us more little details. The little details can be just as important as the bigger ones. It’ll help shine some light on the things they’ve shown us today. Either way it’ll be something to keep an eye on and top off an awesome day of Pokemon news. Did I mention how excited I am to play these games?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

  7. Have I ever said Thank you to you Pokejungle? If I havent well…. Thank You for being the best damn pokemon news site (excluding the official site). Thank you for caring about our needs (rumors, news, etc.)

  8. Wow, what a day. And Corocoro hasn’t even leaked yet… This totally makes up for the four month drought of information we faced. I hope I don’t die on overdosing on Pokemon X and Y information because I still want to have a chance to play the game! Can’t wait to try out the Fairy type in the game! October 12th has to get here sooner!!

  11. Oh boy i can’t wait in 2 hours we are going to see the best presentation for X and Y and i am so happy that Nintendo added megaman in the super smash bros family^v^

    • This looks completely legit, and I’m starting to believe that whoever leaked Pokebeach’s insider information is not ripping us off, as he confirmed English Pokémon names and a new move months before the official reveal, along with Fairy Type (Sylveon) months before today, and if this indeed is a sky battle for Flying-types and Pokémon knowing Levitate, then we should expect a new Mewtwo forme as well in the upcoming CoroCoro, or even the Q/A session. By the way, where in the world do you find these images?

      Reply

      • The images are all over Pokebeach. and he also gives out all the information he supposedly received. To be honest he hyped the infor he got so much, it was a bit of a let down haha

    • I just thought of a thing….what if this is it and it only gets that evo just like Taillow. It would be like a type of connection the 3rd Gen. games since that was the only gen with the main (routely) bird to have one evo instead of the 3 stage. (im not too sure if hoothoot was the main bird in the 2nd Gen. because there were some pidgeys there too and you could only get hoothoots at night.)

      • Ok, I’m exhausted and the presentation hasn’t even started yet 😛

        Seriously, it’s after 1am here and I spent most of the afternoon screaming myself hoarse, rewatching the trailer, and then squeeing some more. NEEDZ SLEEP BUT CANNOT TILL ALL THE NEWS IS DONE

          • Totally! And high-five for another UK fan!! I plan to nap through most of Thursday anyway – AC New Leaf is coming out on Friday and I’mma play it till my eyes bleed. It’s the one thing that’s going to keep me from climbing the walls all summer waiting for X and Y to come out, lol

          • *High-fives back* Sounds like fun! :]
            I might start climbing walls if the wait gets too much for me!

          • Someone else from the UK beside me? Sweet!

            Just 20 minutes remaining. The suspense is killing me!

  22. Also, anyone else think that there is a possibility of another new type? In generation 2, TWO new types were released. Same thing goes for Evee’s new evolution. New Eeveelutions are usually released in pairs. Plus, Sylveon is sort of girly. Maybe we’ll get a more manly Eeveelution as well!

  25. Well, Pokebeach received an invitation to the presentation so we’ll be sure to hear stuff from them as well.
