It’s once again time for our weekly Pokémon Smash coverage. This week is hopefully going to be a big one, we’re expecting some live (at the time of filming) gameplay of Pokémon X & Y, details and a never seen before trailer on the new X & Y anime season and possibly more!
This week we’ll be using a new platform for streaming which will hopefully reduce issues we’ve had with previous streams. As usual if you encounter any problems please report them to us in the comments of site chat.
We’d like you to follow along and come take part in our site chat which can be found HERE. Come along and talk about anything Pokémon related as well as the episode when it begins airing! Also make sure you follow us on Twitter and like our page on Facebook! Don’t forget about our forums too!

[/vc_column_text]
This is the first Gen since the 3rd one, that I won’t be able to choose a starter for xD
Im sorry you set me up for this 😛 …………. you couldn’t choose ?????
Coz
According to some rumors I heard next week they will show flabebe and litleo evolutions. But it is smash so its hard to tell.
Where did u here that?
Its just something I read somewhere
Oh wait it might of been on 4chan.
Don’t believe 4chan!
If that was the case, then we would of been shown gameplay with a question mark in front of the board or something to signify that.
I don’t think there will be any significant X/Y news next week.
Lovin’ the X and Y Anime.
yeah it looks great. the colors look darker compared to previous seasons
Check out https://pokemonxystuff.wordpress.com for cool Pokémon X and Y Stuff.
It’s really good! 🙂
Don’t reply to your own comments pretending to be someone else. 😉
Haha BUSTED :p 😀
ILW is me , CM is my brother. And about 200 of the 210 viewson my website.
What type are you ? Of gym leader I mean.
Gotcha. I didn’t notice the warning cuz I was lay for smash!
Yeah, even if you were brothers (which I don’t really doubt) the tactic you use seemed a bit shady. You were essentially self promoting by upvoting and replying to your own comments. This can be a bit deceitful to others, so watch out for that. 😉
Ahh gosh the animation for the new season looks really nice, love fennekin’s little sneeze I want it even more now. >u< I don't know why but Ash looks a little bit grown up.
Gonna have to say though I'm pretty disappointed we still have the wailmer shaped pokemon for surf, it's a bit awkward with how small it is compared to the trainer.
Yea, I wish they showed the pokemon but It will be challenging, mostly for small pokemon! Image ur trainer standing on that! So, I understand why they had to do it! But they could have made it large! BTW Team Froakie B)
Oh gosh yeah I forgot about that detail! x3 There could always be different animations of how the trainer holds onto the pokemon depending on it’s size. That’s why I’m excited about the game finally being in 3D, they can really go beyond their horizon and expand their capabilities even more, it makes stuff like this become much more possible in years to come ovo/
Yea! 😀 Imagine using a Wailord there XD It can barely move! So thats why they did that! 😀
If people question the walking it goes like this:
When u walk u can move in 8 grid based directions! (No more 4 :D)
When u use the Roller-skates it takes u to 16 grid based directions
When u use the bike it keeps u in a 8 gird based directions
So, Roller-skates are for the veterans to the pokemon series and bike is for the newer people 😀
Don’t mean to disappoint you, but even though it’s 8 way movement when walking, it’s still grid based.
This was confirmed at the Live round table Q&A.
XD I said that
I will chuckle everytime I surf! What have you done Gamefreak?
Think about surfing on smaller pokemon! It will be hard to replicate that in the game! I admit it does look dumb (now its in 3D) but I recommend to gamefreak to make it larger XD So, it fits the character, better than it does now!
I don’t want to hump a little bag like thing.
XD now u say it; it does look like a trash bag! I never noticed that. But Surfing is Surfing! It does not bother me much 🙂
plus think about wailord. how the hell you gonna move around the small areas on that!
Good Point! Or like Kyorge! It has to stay like that for a long time!
Nothing they can do about it now. The games are already finished. (Probably.)
Maybe! But on almost every trailer it is Gameplay footage is not final! They also changed things in trailers so we dont know XD
They’ve done what realistically is all they can do for the game. As pointed out i’d be great for every Pokémon to have a surf sprite, but then using pokemon like wailord, gyarados, milotic and Kyogre would limit areas to surf XD 😛
Yes, I understand that. Just our character gaining a dimension, but the surfing sprite staying the same seemed funny.
That’s as true as the deep blue………….. Sorry ill see myself out XD 😛
The beach looked really good along with the detail to the fishing rod and wow is my reaction to the music, just wow.
Yea! Pokemon did say it will be more orchestrated 😀
And that tune when you find an item.
Yea! I really love it how your character now puts it in there bag!
Its them small touches that will make the game.
Yea 😀
Exactly my thaught, a lot of effort was put into the game and it really shows. I honestly couldn’t be happier with what ive seen so far 🙂
Damn! I missed it.. anyone know where to find this stuff?
No, sorry! But Serebii said that Filb will be updating some footage on the news!
Here. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pdlj-sNNfKU&feature=youtu.be&a
it’s a little low on quality, but if your impatient then watch xD
They missed some, but its actually good quality 🙂 Filb should have it soon enough 😀
Maybe we’ll get to see a wailord or pokemon that can manage surf. Other than that everything else looks amazballz!!
Alright, it’s been settled- the move Honedge used (and by extension, Talonflame and Chespin) is Aerial Ace.
It’d make more sense for it to be Night Slash.
Honedge is a Sword and Chespin is rumored to evolve into Grass/Dark.
Besides I have reason to believe that Talonflame used Aerial Ace. The animation was the same, except the slashes we’re facing the other way.
It -is- Aerial Ace though. At least, that’s definitely what Honedge used. The attack in the ‘Honedge used ___’ text box in the battle matches characters perfectly with the Japanese name for Aerial Ace.
As for the direction of the slashes, it could easily be random, to add more variety. Many pokemon moves in previous gens have had subtley different animations each time you use them.
I agree with Elite it makes much more sense for it to be Night Slash. So now its decided ! Its night slash 😉
Looks like Rock Smash will be used on field again.
Yayyyyyyyyy! <– Sarcasm.
No XD Pokemon said during B/W Rock Smash isn’t returning as a HM by how annoying it was! Cut was only used once in Black and White! I excpet cut to be removed! And the HMs be Surf, Strength, Waterfall, Dive, Fly, and Maybe Rock Slide!
I didn’t say it would be a HM though did I? it can still be used on field as a TM. What about Dig? And Sweet Scent? There TM’s.
True! Rock Smash did return as a TM! Maybe the HM will become regular TM? (THAT WILL MAKE EVERYONE HAPPY :D)
Wait I saw the Rock. NOOOOOOOOOO
When they were fishing there was a huge amount of dark water to the right does that mean dive returns or just an area that you cant swim on.
I seems like Dive will be returning! 😀 I doubt there will be a area u can’t swim on! Remember dive was in Black and White!
By area you can swim on I mean that line of rocks that prevent you from swimming anywhere you want
eg west cherrygrove has rocks coming out of the water stopping you from going out to sea.
What I mean by area you cant swim on would be for example west cherrygrove, there are rocks coming out of the water stopping you from going into the sea
True! But they would put rocks or something to stop u
What I observed is that sometimes camera changes not very smoothly, especailly during Fletchling battle, when Fletchy uses its attack we see Froakie getting hit but after that suddenly we see normal battle screen, no transition between.
Anyone else see the Honedge’s “coming out of the ball” animation. Firstly its scabbard comes out then it grasps its scabbard. Cool! Even cooler, if we get coming out the ball animation for every Pokemon!
We do. When Froakie was sent out he sorta did a Frog Splash x3
Can’t wait to see other Pokemon! I really can’t wait. Gosh, I’m expecting Bisharp to do some epic poses!
Be cool if it does a X shape slash with it’s arms.
Maybe artistic backflip like it did in Pokedex 3D. October!!!
All Pokémon shown being released coming out of a Pokeball have one 😀
Did you guys see how he PUTS THE ITEM IN HIS BAG !!!!!!!
So much fricking details i love it
The detail in how he does it is great, but this feature was included in BW. Jut not shown as clearly 🙂
I loved Froakies Foam in the anime. The way it moved, increased and decreased. Didn’t know he had such control over it.
Here, have my gif!
http://i.imgur.com/KXRctnm.gif
Ahaha! Thanks! 😀
What is the move that Froakie used ? i know he used Bubble but there was another one where he slashes the other pokemon but with Water ?
seeing chespin in the anime :3 oh my god so cute
Ash is looking seriously epic in Kalos !! 😀
Did you see him flick his hat? He has swag now! xD
HAHAH ! I have a feeling this saga will be similar to D/P where he will be more serious towards his training for the Kalos league 😀
Ash Swagger FTW ! 😀 😉
I don’t know if it’s just me, but having the collar up to his jacket, makes him seem more mature.
No, I agree it definatly adds a few years onto him 🙂 It also looks badass 😛 😀
Oh yeah, it’s definitely confirmed that he’s 16 in this Series. And for those of you saying he should be 21, have you ever thought that each Gen in the anime, takes place across a year Forget actual episode release dates and years in real time, this is anime time we’re talkin bout’ here.
Where did you hear that he’s 16? At the beginning of Best Wishes he was still 10…
I can’t remember, but it’s confirmed.
Maybe they realized it was time to wake him from his cryogenic state.
So he is in puberty right now.
Looks that way.
Assuming your mystery source was correct, does that mean that six years pass between Unova and Kalos? That would be an interesting Naruto-ey twist to the story.
I had a theory that since he is on his journey he looses track of the date so he forgets his birthday so he also forgets his age and thinks he is still 10 when he comes back from unova he remembers
That would be hilarious. “Oh yeah, I’m a teenager now, aren’t I? (Suddenly grows six inches.)”
Exactly !! They even referenced timelines similar to this in the Anime itself !! Im hoping to God ash gets a Froakie and fully evolves it this saga. Please sweet Jesus let it happen 😀
FROAKIE FOR LIFE!!!!! (working out a tattoo with those words(partner dos not approve))
Hahaha there should be a fan club 😛 Haha tell any partner its an epic frog. Epic Froakie > Partner 😉 lol 😛 Seriously tho its awesome 😀
This.
A Froakie is a Pokémon, for Calming All your nerves 😉
hopefully he will up in the top two in the Kalos league
I’m hoping Tobias will re-appear.
A guy can dream xD
If he does I hope Ash, kicks his ass 😛
I don’t know why but I took it personally when he used legendaries against Ash in the league. Sure its been done before eg Battle Frontier, But I felt like it was a bit of an excuse to have him lose, just because Tobias had Darkrai and Latios 😛 XD 😀 I know im weird haha
Darkrai I can understand. He looked similar to Darkrai in a way. Latios was just too far.
I know 😛 I was literally like ah here now ! Do you remember the random Sky battle Latios and Swellow had ? If you watch it again look at the completely random Squaking they do to one another before they fight lol. It gets me every time 😛
yeah!! but ash won with with pikachu and with charizard two legendary
I have said that already.
ups sorry hey dude looks you know that my 3ds is fixed but for some reason the screen down change the color i dont know why before that It was looking great and for some reason it turned off and when I turned on it change
Its just overheating. Let it stay off for a few hours eg 12hrs 🙂
really!? with low bat?
Just with useage. Let it rest and it will be grand 🙂
do you have skype? I want to show you my 3ds, it doesnt have crash or something like that!! I can play but the screen touch looks weird, the color is difderent, I’ve a day without use it
Ill look tomoro its 3.30AM here im off to bed now 😛
ohh well but tell me your email or skype account
are you there?
and who is to say the rest of his teams was not legendaries ether
I know for all we know he could have had a Latias, etc etc 😛
Same, I don’t want him to win it ( unless he really deserves it ) so id love him to even be the runner- up 😀
i don’t want him to win but i want him to get so close and lose
Haha evil XD
I think Ash will get chespin because chespin the onlye one who look normal!! fennekin trought fire for his ear and froakie have buble
Well if were going to get picky 😛 Chespin has a random brown spot on the back of his head 😛
i would not say evil i just don’t think he should win but i want him to do better than D/P
Exactly so top 2 😀
and i want it to be both sides to be down to there last pokemon too. and the other guy barely wins
That’s about what I want aswell in a Nutshell. If they did tho it would prob be a case like Ash’s Pokémon was already weak and lost in the end type of thing 😛
yea like that i just want better then the unvoa league which i thought was a let down
This might sound like an over -exaggeration but I was honestly disgusted with the Unova league and how it was handled. Kicking Trip out and having a 1 v 1 battle with Ash was outrageous IMO ! All season I was looking forward to the final 6 v 6 in the league thinking it was going to be Ash vs Trip. 🙁 I know im ranting but My God I was pissed ! 😛
i hear you and then he loses to a guy that forget to bring six pokemon
I know, I actually loved Cameron as a Character but that royally pissed me off 😛
me to and his riolu evolving was cool to but the fact ash lost lost come on
Yeah it seemed like a much more crushing defeat aswell knowing Cameron only had 5 Pokémon and took out all 6 of Ash’s 🙁 😛
Some of you didn’t see the part with Xerneas and Yveltal.. well, here it is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qjcdx8hNXmY 🙂
Good stuff 😀 Thanks 🙂
Not that it really matters, if you look during the Xerneas part, they at least confirm that Sylveon also isn’t a female only evolution*didn’t think it would be at this point with the Fairy type* as that Sylveon is male. Maybe it had been shown on earlier stuff, but the first time I’ve noticed it with actual in game battle footage.
And while not that big of a deal, I kind of liked seeing the pair up of Umbreon and Yveltal to compliment Sylveon and Xerneas. Seemed somewhat appropriate, and nice they did that, rather than stick any Dark type in there with him.
Here’s the X/Y Anime Trailer (LQ)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lCjlbBiUiKQ
I loved Chespin’s WTF look.
x’D it looks like Ash will actually get to pick one this time.
Pause at 0:32, you can see that brown spot on the side of Chespin’s head (Right under its left upper spike) just like in the game. So that rules out it being a graphical glitch. I don’t know why, but it has me so intrigued why the green doesn’t cover the whole back of its head.
Anyways, I love how Chespin gets so spiky! ^_^
Maybe when Chespin evolves, that Brown spot protrudes into a branch or spike.
This make me think about rumours of Chespin’s evolution. I’m going to reach right now, so get prepared. The rumoured evolution name is Chinken, chink as in a chink in armour. Maybe its evolution will be very well protected Pokemon but with a weak spot and that weak spot being brown hole, a chink in armour. That’s the end of my reaching.
Look at my comment below this xD
That’s what I’ve speculated on too in the past 😀 It might be a weak spot in Chespin’s protective shell.
Some say Chespin gets so spiky to attract a mate……….. Sorry wrong show 😛
Seriously tho, Its a great feature to an already great design 🙂 😀
This is for the fans of Froakie!
http://i.imgur.com/KXRctnm.gif
Any way you can make that a little bigger to include Chespin’s funny reaction? 🙂
Sure, give me a minute. 🙂
Ok 😀
The English names of the final evolutions for Chespin, Fennekin and Froakie have been leaked, but they could be fake, and no, the 2nd Stage names were not leaked.
Only these- the 3rd Stages:
Chesknight- The Chestnut Knight Pokemon, and the last evolved form of Chespin. It’s name origin comes from “chestnut,” “knight,” and occasionally “chess.” It is a
Grass/Dark-type Pokemon, and is one of three founders of Kalos.
(Chespin, Fennekin, and Froakie’s final evolutions are pseudo-legendary Pokemon, founders of Kalos.)
Kroaking- The King Frog Pokemon, and the last evolved form of Froakie. Its name origin comes from “croak,” and “king.” It is a Water/Fighting-type Pokemon, and it, along with Chesknight and Magikin, is another of the three founders of Kalos.
Mafoxy- The Magic Fox Pokemon, and the last evolved form of Fennekin. It’s name origin mainly comes from “magic,” and “fox.” It is a Fire/Psychic-type Pokemon, and along with Chesknight and Kroaking, is the last of the Kalos founders.
You say both Magikin and Mafoxy when referring to Fennekin’s evolution…
Typo, sorry, Mafoxy is the correct leaked name.
Leaked? Lol, we knew about these a few days ago.
Kroaking was never mentioned, and yes, I just wanted to bring those names together for people who haven’t seen them.
Kroaking was mentioned.
Founder of Kalos, pseudo-legendary?
Both, can be considered either one, however, there are possibilities that only one will make it into the final game, if these rumors are indeed true. The leaker state that some bullshit was thrown in here, and everything he said is here. He did state that he meant to say that they were supposed to be pseudo-legendaries, but he added a twist by adding the Founders of Kalos part. That would be the bullshit part.
By the three founders, do you mean the ones who made the Kalos region?
Yes, but he stated this was bullshit, but I put together everything he said.
The ones who provide monetary support to Kalos, I think.
Well, it would certainly be interesting if all the starters were to turn out to be pseudo-legendaries. Starters need some love in competitive battling.
pseudo-legendary is a fan made concept, I doubt any real leak would include the term.
Chesknight doesn’t sound like a good idea for a name, it’s one of the those where you’ve just stuck two nouns next to each other and prayed that it sounds good
I agree. But these are just rumors, they most likely are fake.
I doubt it. Starters will remain starters with a max base stat of 535. They are never going to make it 600.
Also, the names sound too similar to what we rumoured based on the trademark names.
Froakie is an absolute BRO ! I love it 😀 Froakie at first I loved you, now your making me obsessed 😉 😛 😀
