NOTE: As of late our readers have been frequently posting suspected X & Y information in the comments of our articles. This is perfectly fine, we enjoy reading them and sometimes it brings to light new possible information that we wouldn’t have seen otherwise. However, we’ve also noticed that some users have taken to the comments to deliberately deceive, creating duplicate accounts. If you create a duplicate account posing as another individual we WILL take action, providing you with a warning which can lead to a ban if you persist.
If you’d like to submit any rumours or speculation to us please use our contact form. It’s the best way to communicate with us.
NOTE 2: We reported yesterday on a new GameFreak game that’s coming soon. Trademark applications have been found online for the collaborative game (as well as a website URL) and suggest that it is a game called Solitiba. This name seems to be derived from Solitaire and ba, a way of saying horse.

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!

chespin just got a lot more cooler truning it’s leafs into spikes
He’s an absolute Badass 😀
An adorable badass! ^_^
Haha indeed ! Ill be starting with Froakie on X but on my play threw Y its chespin all the way 😀
i am still picking fennekin first
I’ll probably love Fennekin when I try him in Y, II cant wait to try them all 😀
he looks too cute
That’s really up to everyones personal opinion. I love froakie, but I know tons of people think fennekin is a badass itself 😀
i will most like go with Froakie and then Chespin after fennekin
Cool do u plan teams, or just go with the flow ? 🙂
i plan teams my only problem is that it is so hard to pick right now
Lolol, same! I’ll be starting Y first with Chespin. And in X I’m gonna use Froakie, whom I’m gonna nickname Popple (From the Mario & and Luigi series).
Love it great name ! My God im in serious crunch mode now to see the starters final forms 😀
I hope Chespin becomes Grass/Steel
Hey Moving, here’s HD Quality footage of the Gameplay (Courtesy of ProVictini)

omg Froakie looks too cute and beautifull!! I will choose you
Was surprised by this, it definitely endears myself towards him more…..but I’m still with Fennekin right now.
So, I’m gonna make Gifs of Fennekin, Chespin, and Froakie so you guys can use em’.
Thanks! 😀
No problem. 🙂
YES!
I am so blinded by Chespin’s adorableness!! <3 Of course Fennekin's sneeze was cute, and Froakie's puff up as well but they aren't as adorable as Chespin!! lol
I KNOW, RIGHT?!
yveltal’s death wing move looks like it heals him
Still does’t look all too enticing. In fact, I was hoping it to be a bad-ass Physical move. I mean, with a cool name like “Oblivion Wing”, you’d expect Yveltal to use its wings to attack. But no, it just flies up and shoots some kind of red laser.. what’s the need for the “wing” anyway? Because of this, I think Yveltal will be more Special-oriented, while Xerneas will be Physical (Geomancy does look a lot like Earthquake).
i understand and your most likely right, Yveltal attack healing himself is kinda cool
If you’ pay more attention, you’ll see that that beam of energy was gathered from it’s wings. Both it’s wings and 3rd wing/tail all glow and then the energy gathers at it’s mouth to fire.
And the healing part makes perfect sense. It’s a destruction Pokemon, taking away life force and then using it to replenish itself.
It’s called Oblivion Wing in the English games. I know, lame, but there were very slim chances they’d ever put ‘death’ in this game.
i know it is called Oblivion Wing in english and i think it sounds cooler than death wing. but by spelling bad and i did not feel like looking up oblivion when i wrote that post
Wonder if we can dive in this gen…
HQ Footage of the X and Y Gameplay and you can update with this on the site kriffix 🙂

What moves did Honedge use?
Aerial Ace and Shadow Sneak.
I want my Chespin NOW!..xD
Does that mean they finished developing X & Y?
Most of it, probably. They might be working on the Post-game areas.
Yeah I can imagine they are just testing the game and working out any last minute bugs.
Does anyone know where this “Meowstick evolves from Meowth” rumor came from? I thought it was supposed to be a new line altogether…
Haven’t heard the rumor myself, but it’s probably because of the names being similar. And I bet the name is actually “Meowstic” (Meow + Mystic).
Somehow, seeing Fennekin’s ears emit some kind of fire-dust thing and Chespin’s spikes hardening up like that, I’m convinced that Fennekin will be Fire/Fairy and Chespin Grass/Steel (Froakie will be Water/Fighting). I know Chespin won’t get SE STAB against Fennekin, but it’s still balanced because Grass/Steel is a great typing with just two weaknesses.
that makes sense, since he might be based on a knight
Grass/Steel has 2 weakness (Fire and fighting). Weakness against the 2 other starters like empoleon was in 4th gen
But Grass/Steel is 4x effective against Fire, with Fennekin gaining an huge advantage over Chespin. Then again, it has superior defensive prowess otherwise.
Edit: If Fennekin turns out to be Fire/Fairy, it’ll have a wide range of coverage, granted most Fire types learn Solarbeam or Energy ball. Fire, Grass and Fairy attacks will cover for Bug, Grass, Ice, Steel, Ground, Rock, Water, Dragon, Dark and Fighting (Assuming the rumors are correct). That’s an impressive 10 types on the offensive side. I just hope they don’t nerf its speed.
I hope malamar and inkay can learn surf.
Anyone notice in the Inkay battle how that tall mound of sand just suddenly appeared? Weird…
It’s even a different Inkay! Most likely the first one died and they just stitched the footage together.
Pretty sure that dark area of water is dive-able and that rock is smashable….but they’d only make em HMs if you had to have them to progress further into the game (ie Sootopolis)
It was quite funny watching them go ‘ooohohoohohoh’ when they took one step
Other than that…looks sweet, and really impressed with the little details (the picking up, the rod, the close up of Pokeball etc)
Can’t wait!
Edit: and as for the anime, prob gonna do what I’ve done with BW, look at the ep pics on Serebii…tbh, all I’m interested in, is how similar my ingame team is to the characters team
That dark area of water (at the right of the screen) might end up just being a replacement to the boulders. It might say something like the sea is too dangerous to go any further. It’s too early to say….
It could be a replacement..although there was a boulder next to the beach iirc (I am leaning towards diving rather than no access tho)
Just saying the sea is too dangerous isn’t good enough. I want a huge Tentadread rising from the depths of the sea, and knocking you out, making you appear at the previous Pokécenter. You will never attempt to cross those waters again. 🙂
Release The Kraken!
I’m pretty sure you just talk to the rock to find a hidden item (ala talk to rock and find pokeball), it doesn’t look smashable.
Just so you know, Kalos Ash can’t be 16. He doesn’t look it at all. He looks more mature, definitely, but not 6 years older. Ash encounters Alexa in BW, where at the time he is 10. He would then have to have waited six years for the next league, which makes no sense. Therefore, he is most likely 10 still, maybe 11 if we’re lucky. I remember seeing somewhere too that he was 16, but that is just a rumor and not confirmed. If so, then Alexa will have to look 6 years older as well.
Never expect logic in the Anime. Never.
Sticking an artificial age on it doesn’t matter to me much. What’s the difference if he were 10 or 13 but still acted the same regardless of age? He’ll still always be a kid, that’s one thing that will never change.
Have you ever thought that each adventure in a region, going by anime terms, is roughly a year? So when he arrives in Kalos he’d end up being 16. That’s where I’m going with it. Forget the amount of time it takes for episodes and stuff, because if we went that way then Ash would be 21 right now.
