Slow news period again. It’s the calm before the storm I guess. Corocoro is still a bit off seeing as it releases on the 12th of August. Be patient, my dear friends!
In the meantime, let’s talk about something else than X&Y for a bit, and let’s discuss Secret Bases! Everyone’s favorite side-mechanic from Ruby and Sapphire (and DPPt) I guess. I kinda hope it makes a return in X&Y, but somehow I doubt that and I believe they’ll hold it out for a bit longer until the remakes hit. Secret bases work perfectly combined with Streetpass, as opposed to having to link your GBA with those nasty link cables. Anyway, back to Secret Bases. Do you like them? Do you prefer the underground version above the Hoenn version? What was your favorite location for secret bases? (Mine was in the ‘hidden’ route on the left of Hoenn, which was basically the best spot for secret bases) And do you think they should return in the newer games?
We’ll be back tomorrow with some Smash coverage. In the meantime, you can comment on this article or ask us a question in the new Ask PJN. Happy commenting!
~Dae~
I hope they do have secret bases again, I loved them! Also this is making me think how awesome the RSE remakes would be… can’t wait for news in general 🙂
10 more days til the huge corocoro info comes out! I can hardly contain myself!
I cannot wait. 😉
neither can i what do you think they will reveal
August 10-12. That DATE.
Just 2 more WEEKS
I’m guessing a ton of pokemon, not all but a lot, like evolutions of the starters and others like swirlix and spritzee. maybe more version exclusives, team flare’s purpose and plot, and some new gym leaders. just a guess though
I just want to see a lot. 😉
More pokemon! And I am hoping either a poison or dragon eeveelution. Rumor has it fairy is weak to poison 🙂
I want to see more weakness to fairy! Rumor is Poison & Steel are one.
and it’s super effective to dragon, dark and fighting, right?
I think Fire was in there.
i think it was fairy resists fire. I could be wrong, I’m trying to remember it off the top of my head
Same. 😉 So don’t worry!
how would fairy resist fire? im just curious
same way grass resists electric. no one really gets it. 😛
OOO that would be awsome I cant wait
I don’t think it will thought! It might be super-effective! We don’t know lol.
Maybe its super effective because the magic puts out the fire
I never heard of that one 😉
yea wat if it has that effect on the rest of the elements
Wood doesn’t conduct electricity. >_>
I think fairy resist dragon and fire takes half damage from fairy. I would have to go back to pokebeach to be sure!
Can you post the rumor here?
http://pokebeach.com/2013/06/pokebeach-x-y-rumor-roundup-and-clarifications
Thank you. 🙂
I believe the pokebeach rumors said fairy was weak to ice as well.
Yea! That too.
thank goodness! ice needed another type to destroy!
yea but ice is super effective to fire, rock, and fighting i think
do you mean weak to? because I know ice is NOT super effective against fire
Yea my bad IM STUPID!!!!!!!
haha don’t worry, we all mess up 🙂
Nothing is going to happen on Pokemon Smash this weekend right?
not that i know of, maybe another one of the segments when they show off a pokemon like they did with helioptile and talonflame, maybe this time with swirlix and spritzee or my main man pangoro!
I cant wait to see Swirlix evo and does pancham immediately evolve into pangoro
from the rumors on pokebeach, he evolves into pangoro by having a dark type in the party after pancham reaches lvl 30
O thats cool
Don’t you mean weak. I’m sure this is a mistake. 😉
it is
Its alright! (:
thanks
Nvm, pokebeach said nothing about Fairy being weak to ice. Idk where I heard that from.
I swear I’ve heard that it’s weak to ice before though, maybe from a video on youtube. it would be nice, though
I would imagine fairy will at least have 3 weaknesses for balancing purposes
The rumors I read from PokeBeach, do seem really true.
Didnt Water Pokemon Master tell us that
Edit: Post that
A lot of the info turned out true!
Im excited 😀 I hope we wil get new info about the new pokedex
It’s about the Anime you’ll see
I think the leak could be as early as the 8th 🙂
I want them too, but if you think about it…maybe they only made FR/LG and HG/SS because of the incompatibility of the 1st and 2nd generations with the 3rd and onwards generations. Now that you can catch virtually any pokemon and transfer them around, is there really any point?
I really loved the secret bases and I thought they were improved in diamond and pearl. I was absolutely devastated when I heard they weren’t gonna be in black and white, so I’m hoping they make their triumphant return in X and Y. It’ll make me a very happy fan 🙂
I really liked Secret Bases. They were fun. I enjoyed putting Furniture, Toys, etc. inside it! It really occupied my time as a kid! It was like a mini-home! Hopefully they return in X & Y!
More than secret base i qant the poke factory back
I never made a base for me :/
I never really cared for them. However 10 more days!!! With possible leaks by next Friday or Saturday?
i think that’s too soon. they usually leak the night before the scans are released, so maybe next Sunday night?
Corocoro comes out on the 12 this month. Usually the scans leak 2 or 3 days before. Idk, I could be wrong
So around the 9TH OR 10TH?
good golly that’s in a week!!! 😀
Thats awsome do u think i should avoid it until next months coro coro leak
hm…I’m one of those people who like to spoil myself, but if you’re not, i would DEFINITELY avoid it
Yes! I would assume maybe friday night next week!!!
August 10-12.
We only have 2 Corocor megazine, this month and september 😀 I hopping the next Corocor they will show something about the pokedex I hope soo
Same here mayb something about the other legedendaries
yeah!!! or more about the region!! we know only thing about the route 1,2,3, and the first city you will see and Lumious city
Yep i hope maybe evo or pre-evo will also be revealed
I hope dookieshed’s rumors aren’t true and we don’t end up with a potato chip and sushi pokemon.
true that would be very weird
I did prefer them in RSE a lot more than DPPT. But I never really got the chance to enjoy them, as there weren’t that many friends that lived nearby.
I hopping we can trade all pokemon that we have from the old generation to the new generation before end the game
That has a low chance of happening. The likely-hood is small. Then you would need to have the National Dex early. Which means the Kalos Pokedex (Data), isn’t needed. It would be cool, but it stops the challenge. You can trade over a Lv. 100 Charizard and beat all the Trainers, Gyms, Evil Team, and Elite Four, quickly and easily. It wouldn’t be a smart game design.
Who thinks that they will reveal starter evolutions and new pokemon
I dont think soo because in the 1,2,3,4,5, generation they never show the evolution of the first pokemon
Well that sucks
I was thinking that they would reveal gameplay from the beginning to around the first badge. Showing the pokemon you encounter, maybe team flare etc. They sorta did this in dppt corocoro and bw/bw2 corocoro. Probably stuff you would encounter if you played a demo that they would make available later on the eshop.
I do. Hopefully.
Ahhhh secret bases, my favourite spot was either just before the dessert (or was it after)…one of the two and also just outside the safari zone next to the double battle girls
I did like the concept however I’m not that fussed…but maybe if the 3D pokedolls did something cool or maybe if the mats were more interactable….
pokethon 😀
Yeah, mine was by the safari zone too. i love that one.
I LOVED secret bases!!!! They were the best in Hoenn. They were so cool to decorate, to mix records and go searching for your friends secret bases, and then battle them for some great experience!
I remember this place north of Rustboro City (You had to surf to get there), it had a whole bunch of secret base locations. My friends and I had nicknamed it Champion Island xD But I left that location because I had found a place I liked more. West of Fortree City, go all the way down, all the way down that water route, still down further, there’s a tree Secret Base. Mine was right there in the left side of the tree ^_^
I would be so excited if they brought this great idea back for X and Y. Though I do believe they’ll hold off and save it for Hoenn remakes.
I’m thinking if they bring back Secret Bases they should do something special if someone’s Secret Base is in the same place as yours. Like next time you walk into yours a “!” appears over your head and you walk up to someone who remarks about how this is where their Secret Base is, and then you battle. Maybe to make up for the fact that all you get is a battle rather than another Base they can give you a Protein or a rare Berry, something kind of nice.
were these confirmed fake?
Yeah I think so
dude this is fake
I thought so
These are from February I think. Anyway, they are quite old.
O i just found them on the internet
What?
Oh. Those are fake.
I want to know if ash will win the league :l
hahahaha ash winning the league!
He is currently has all 8 Unova Badges.
Has he ever reached the Elite Four
he lost dude .-.
He has not gotten to the Elite Four (Unove League) yet.
I loved Secret Bases so much, that was probably the best individual feature of Hoenn (with the region design and Battle Frontier close behind). I used multiple save files and co-operation from my friends to fill up most of that Route above Rustboro that you mention, it was so much fun. It was a “Trainer Town,” if you will. And even aside from that, I simply loved decorating it! Even getting new decorations was lots of fun. I remember how ridiculous of a wait I had to go through for that stinkin’ Department Store sale to come along… Then in Sinnoh they kind of ruined them with the rocks and fact that they were no longer surprises you could stumble upon during the regular game. And the fact that the battles were gone. Now that the overworld is completely 3D, I don’t look for Secret Bases to return for a while. Perhaps after they’ve learned better compression techniques and such they can put the feature in, but most likely not in X and Y. I’m not too disappointed, I’m happy we finally got Trainer customization! I could see them allowing us to decorate our room again like in G/S/C and R/S/E, which I would enjoy, but that is as close to seeing the return of Secret Bases as I think we’ll get for some time. I’d sooner expect the return of Join Avenue.
I believe it was something like route 115? My base was one of the two above the sandy slope. Can’t remember which one exactly. 🙂
Yes, Route 115 😀 I know exactly what you’re talking about, that’s where my original secret base was. Same place as yours, there were two above the bike slope, one immediately to the right, and another down further. Mine was the one which was down further. Then I eventually moved to a different location 🙂
Man that Department Store sale was annoying! Lol I remember checking every freaking day and every TV in the REGION just to see the news broadcast about the sale being around.
But the wait was worth it because my crib near Fortree City had slides and statues, it looked like a Amusement Park Gym.
Message to everyone: this is a Dae asks about Secret Bases. You can use the Jungle Talk to talk offtopic if you wish. I will ban everyone who derails the thread too much from now on.
I really liked secret bases I hope we could get SecretBases on this new game
:l why pokemon removed the secretbase on pokemon diamond, pearl, platinum( the best game I’ve ever played), SS AND GL,black and with, B AND W 2?
Secret Bases were moved to the underground in Diamond and Pearl. I don’t know why BW lack them though.
Maybe, they didn’t have enough space. With more 3D models and moving sprites. Hopefully they returning in X & Y! (Also, before August 10-12, you should make a chat page where we talk about X & Y info)
Yea that would be cool
Is it possible to have a secret base underwater if so that would be awsome
YO. That will be epic!
AHAHAHAHAHAH It;s something hahahahahah WONDERFUL
I know right so then that only people with water pokemon can come in so TEAM FLARE!!!!!!!! YOU CANT COME AND GET ME unless the create a water fire dual type pokemon
2 Words. Mr. Krabs.
NOOOOO ill call plankton and spongebob to protect me SPONGEBOB USE BUBBLE BEAM!!!!!!
PLANKTON USE SWAGGER!!
It was not very effect. Mr. Krabs used Stomp, 1 hit kill (Plankton). Mr. Krabs used Guillotine, 1 hit ko. ;P

lol. btw. wanna a icon?
sure thanks 🙂
Icon is Complete.
thanks 🙂
Welcome. 😉
thanks
could u do a swirlix or fennekin please thanks 🙂
I will use Fennekin, give me sometime because photoshop takes sometime to load.
I liked the secret bases and the capture the flag thing in d/p/pt. If they had something like that in x&y and maybe to make them drop the flag you have to catch them and challenge/ beat them in a battle that’ll be great! BUt at the very least the trap tiles would be fun.
Do you remember this!! SecretBase was tottaly awesome
I like your base is That yours
I wish I had this secret base
O but it is cool
especially the upside down charizard doll…..wait!?
wat?
omg guys what if??
(image from 4chan)
ooooooooooooooooo i get it
Wrong. Unova and Kalos are far away from Kanto, Johto, Hoenn and Sinnoh. Train tracks don’t reach by sea. That’s why Ash had to fly to the Unova and Kalos regions.
you mean fly to unova and return by boat to kanto!^_^!
Yes. Thanks for correcting my mistake.
What they’re trying to reach anyway? This sentence doesn’t indicate anything.
You go with the train to that point, then you spin the roulette and off you go, to all five regions!
But that sentence is clearly saying that car is no longer in use. He wouldn’t say that if we could use it to go other regions.
Believe, Belmad! Believe!
Those five doors aren’t tunnels. The building is a garage for trains, not a passage way. But the tidbit on them being used in a faraway region is interesting, considering x and y started development around the time of black and white.
I haven’t pre-ordered x or y yet. I’m hoping to get more info on version exclusives, besides pokemon in the next corocoro that will decide once and for all x or y. I hope I don’t end up even more confused than I started.
Loved secret bases, I would spend ages making mine, collecting the dolls, although I never got them regi dolls :/. I think it could be possible for them to return, Paris has catacombs which could be a cool twist to the secret base.
Seeing how Pokemon Emerald is my all time favorite Pokemon game, it would make sense that one of my favorite features would be the Secret Base.
I used the Secret Base all the time, whether if it was just for chilling and playing around on my slides and bubbles before I headed off to Fortree City, or if I was using the link cable to connect with all my cousins and face off with them in their homes. It was always such a freaking awesome experience.
As stated, Streetpass would working perfectly with Secret Bases, and the fact that it’s a 3D world now, villas/bases/homes/whatever are going to be bigger than ever now, which makes it all the more worthwhile.
Emerald was your favorite game too, huh? I like your taste. I forgot about the Villa, but that was pretty cool. That feature seems a little more likely to be brought back, especially with this French-inspired region. Here’s hoping we can get an amazing 3D Villa all our own if not Secret Bases!
Imagine you are about to go to sleep, you have done so many things that day; trained your Pokemon hardly and battled with other players. Now that you are tired, it’s time to stop playing. You use fly, go to your secret base, you enter the base, skim through the objects, try different ornaments, walk around a bit,then save your game there and finally quit the game. Oh, memories… I really loved secret bases, they always had that home feeling, they were special save-spots too.
This
I did this all the time, whenever I stopped one of Team Magma(Or both in Emerald)’s plans or defeated a gym, instead of going to the Pokemon Center and heading to the next city, I would just climb up my vines, get to my secret home in a tree, and chill there with my pogeymanz.
That was the life..
