  1. And its a rap ! 🙂 Nintendo love to exaggerate there times don’t they 😉 hahah love all the confirmations tho 😀

  2. Q: Importing Pokemon from previous games? A: They’re working on it. DS/3DS comm. barrier is slightly tricky.

    They better get it solved!!

    • I cant believe people still complain about this. The whole idea is to collect trade and battle in the game. if you can just have 5 different files it ruins the whole idea. Just get over it, its not generation 2 anymore……

  4. The total amount of new Pokemon is NOT BEING REVEALED, Masuda dropped hints that it’s not yet finalized.

    Reply

  9. A single save file is probably going to be around forever because if there are multiple files then you can catch the same rare pokemon in different files and trade them to another game.

  10. Movement is still grid based. It’s now 8 way movement. Things like roller skates however take you out of grid based movement.

  12. LOL haha that’s hilarious. Someone actually had the nerve to ask about new Mewtwo formes and they reply “(uhh)..no comment”

  15. So what do you think, will they be able to make migration work? They said they’re working on it, but it’s tricky.

  17. Am I the only one thinking Underwater Battles should be introduced in a Pokemon Sapphire remake??? 😀
    Also, Tauros and Miltank are seen together in one of the pics! Perhaps we’ll get a pre evo that links both of them 😀
    I’m thinking that maybe Skrelp and Clauncher will be version exclusives 😮
    Talonflame looks freaking amazing!!!!

    I’m more than pleased with this information! June 11 should be known as Pokemon XY Day. Just saying. xD

  19. Honestly, all of the news today was disappointed & kinda boring imo. Only cool things were Noivern & horde battles. The rest were blah & just not interesting enough. Thought X&Y would’ve been better than this…

    Reply

    • I think the reveals were descent. The only reason it doesnt feel that amazing is because most of it was already revealed through leaks before, and of course they excluded a lot of the most important details like how exactly does pokemon-amie change battles, how many pokes are being retyped and anything about the plot really. I dont want any new pokes, cause i like being surprised by the new designs, but I want more info on the fairy type so i can mentally prepare.

    • Everyone is entitled to their own opinion & I should learn to respect them.
      However negative, mood-drowning people like yourself are just an absolute waste.
      How can you say the news was boring? They revealed more then 5 new Pokemon with the majority recieving positive reception.
      We got game play footage in the form of more then ONE trailer.
      Several new amazing battling mechanics/modes revealed like Horde battling, Sky battles.
      The reveal of a completely new amazing type in Fairy & simultaneously the long awaited reveal of Sylveon’s type!
      Several other Pokemon who have been retype has been confirmed with some examples shown.
      More information on Fairy like it’s SE against Dragon etc as well as two new moves
      Game play footage of Xerneath and Yveltal as well as several old mons like Salamence, Charizard ETC
      A new amazing bonding feature in Poke-amie which has received a positive reaction.
      We learnt several new capabilities of the games thanks to the 3DS functions such as battling/trading with the new PSS system
      Ability to ride Pokemon other than Gogoat, again another exciting addition,
      Several hints and unconfirmed information like there being a new Mewtwo forme,
      ….
      ..
      .
      And! And you say this is boring news that has disappointed you?
      My word do you have some lofty expectations.
      What did you expect? A revisit to the Hoenn region? RSE REMAKES?
      Charizard evolving in to a Poison/Water type with the ability Natural Cure?
      Huh? Well? How about you be a little more appreciative.
      This is the most news we’ve had ever for XY and probably ever.
      People like you from my point of view are just negative and biased or alternatively intentionally looking to troll. #SNM

  21. It seems to me that krelp is based off of a weedy seadragon, not a seahorse. I hope so because I love seadragons! They’re like horizontal seahorses!

    Reply

      • I mean I suppose it could be either but I think it looks more like a weedy seadragon because of it’s dark color. And male weedy’s are darker than the females so maybe there will gender differences? Plus weedy seadragons have less appendages than leafy ones.
