Pokémon Smash Weekly Coverage

We’re back with our weekly Pokémon Smash post.

From now on unless an episode is said to contain significant details on an upcoming game/episode/movie/etc, Smash coverage will simply be a stream (usually our own stream), with no live coverage. Apologies for this, when we can we will provide live updates an any episode, not just specials. Staff will still be on hand during the episodes airing, it is simply live updates that will not show up in the post.

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!

    • They always show a bit of X & Y Gameplay now in Pokemon Smash. Last week the borrowed a copy of the game and played it. Were just going to get unimportant gameplay today.

        • Oh, because there will be a Large Amount of X & Y information between August 10-12 because CoroCoro will be leaked around then! So, PKMN Smash will cover the info.

          Reply
          • Yeah, people have presumed that they’re will be a lot of X/Y stuff in CoroCoro (and it’s extremely likely that they’re right), but was it ever CONFIRMED that Smash’d have an XY special next week?

          • We’re confirmed to get “the scoop of the century” in the next issue, which they wouldn’t advertise for if it was something normal. It must be something big if they’re calling it that. I’m betting there will be maybe seven or even eight new Pokemon, new characters, more gameplay information, and probably more information on the XY Anime. Also, it could start leaking as early as the 8th since Corocoro will officially be released on the 12th this time. So expect new information around the 9th-10th.

          • i think the ‘scoop of the century’ is a little bit of a exaggeration used to bring up the hype of the info they will give

          • I think the scoop may be is some Pokemon evolution, like Sableye, this seems to be regarded as “everybody will be surprised.” However, in Japan, a lot of publicity is also true that words are exaggerated: D

  2. You know, I actually wonder what the chances are we may get an Oorotto reveal tonight. I ask this because the Oorotto trailer hasn’t been brought over here yet, ‘officially’ which is kind of unusual, given most things so far has been shown has been translated for us fairly quickly. I’ve already kind of decided that they are probably waiting to show the translated trailer when they are ready to actually officially reveal the Pokemon itself, official art and Pokemon XY Website update and all. So, just wondering if they might reveal it in that regard over in Japan tonight. Probably not, but just a thought.

      • Yes, but this trailer came out EARLY though. It’s already OUT. So it’s in kind of a weird Limbo not having been brought over here yet.

          • Well, my bets are mainly on Grass/Ghost, actually. Mainly because, I think of Haunted Forests coming to mind first and foremost, and that implies Ghosts. Plus, that would be more interesting.

          • Yeah, but I’d rather this be the Grass/Ghost, and save the new Grass/Dark for the Starter Chespin heh. *or any starter, really, Just kind of like to have a Dark starter finally, then I won’t have to worry about it anymore*

          • Maybe. But, with Chespin being based on a hedgehog, and the supposed Knight influences *I also am wondering if it’s green hood could be inspired by like a Knight’s chain mail hood type deal, looking at it kind of reminded me of Team Plasma’s first outfit* it should evolve dynamically different than a Tengu that evolves from an acorn. Though, on that note, It’s probably only 10% possible, but with the psychic attacks from Fennekin, and then this ‘maybe’ fighting attack it used, though that could still be explained by an Assist, I kind of wonder if they are misleading us there, and Fennekin will be the surprise Dark type, as Dark types learning both psychic and fighting attacks has certainly happened. Either way, this is just the Dark trainer who just wants to see at least one Dark Starter. Same with legends, we have Yveltal as a main one now, so I’m good, and I’d rather seem them do more interesting things for future ones.

          • I would like to think that Chespin would be grass/steel. Armor plating makes more sense if it is a knight. However, all the poke beach rumors have been true so far

  3. you know I think they may announce something. It may go like this. Japanese hitler show orotto with the sugi art, type and wight/height, the woman in pink thinks it is kawaii and they show the trailer that is already out

  4. I missed the times where Smash was showing us silhouettes. They have doine it with 5th gen starters, Zoroark and Braviary if I remember correctly. Actually, with silhouettes they were giving us something new, something to talk about and speculate.

    Reply
  5. Way back when, in the far away land known as 2010, there was a reality show, called Pokemon Sunday. On that show, it was actually a joy to watch because they would always show silhouttes, anime previews, and play game demos.

    Then it all changed when the Pokemon Smash nation attacked.

  6. Well most of the episode was kind of disappointing, well atleast we got to see some more cell shaded 3d models of old pokemon. They made Poliwrath look even more beastier than normal lol.

    Reply
      • nah they only rehash what corocoro comes out with and while we get the leaks before smash they won’t have any thing in there show until after corocoro officially comes out

        Reply
          • Well Smash only show stuff after the official Corocoro release which is the 12th while Smash will sir on the 11th so it won’t have Corocoro stuff next week. Smash might be lucky and allowed to show oorotto but again it’s unlikely.

          • Sigh, guess you’re right then were probably gonna get another lazy episode of smash with likely little gameplay footage and more time with people fooling around in eeveelution costumes.

          • Thanks for correcting me, I’ll not edit my edit my embarrassing mistake, but nevertheless we’ll still probably have people fooling around

          • So I was wrong about no “new info,” but I would think if it was truly new they would have some silly question marks in the preview…

          • That’s what I thought, that’s why I’m so confused. If it was as big as the site says it is, why’d all the preview show was Japanese Hitler awing?

          • All I can say is that it says “trading spot” under the black guy’s feet, so it might have to do with international trades(GTS, miracle trade).

          • Although I don’t have a copy of corocoro or seen an image of the page that says that, I’m pretty sure it has to do with pokemon.

          • These are their words from the preview for this month: “Pokemon XY is a poster! It includes this century’s biggest super scoop!! You’ll have to buy Corocoro to see what’s inside~!!” This can be found on their website.

          • Poster? Lol, well then ill be waiting for you corocoro leak, let’s see if this ‘thing’ is supposed to be the biggest in the century(c’mon corocoro don’t you think a century is a bit too long, I mean we just started this century 13 years ago, you could’ve said decade, but century does sound cool).

  7. Next Pokemon Smash
    “NEW X/Y INFO”
    * everyone looks surprised*
    froakie can learn tackle
    “everyone goes nuts”
    that it for news

  8. I really hope the next pokemon sunday shows more details about character customization! I wanna know more! And it’s been the one thing people are overlooking/haven’t brought up that much lol I want my trainer to be dec’d out!!!

    Reply
    • just so you know pokemon Sunday and pokemon smash are two different shows, with pokemon sunday they actually did stuff like show silhouettes, anime previews, and play game demos.pokemon smash does not do it that often

      Reply
      • There the same show, they just decided to change the name.

        And the reason why they don’t show silhouettes and the like for X/Y is because of the worldwide release. Don’t forget each episode is prerecorded weeks in advance so they have to plan carefully what they release and when so that the dates match up for when they can reveal stuff in CoroCoro etc.

  9. I know this has nothing to do with Smash, but in Dream World I found a Drought Vulpix, Magic Guard Abra, and Marvel Scale Dratini in one day! I’m so mad i can only pick one.

    Reply
    • Defensive Multiscale Dragonite can annoy opponents to no end. But Drought Ninetales is more helpful in supporting the team.

  10. Just a random speculative thought about Sylveon. (Assuming that Pancham evolves into Pangoro while having a DARK type pokemon in ‘your’ party, as the insider rumor suggests, and Sylveon is the only new eeveelution, with no DRAGON type counterpart.) I could see Eevee evolving into Sylveon while having a FAIRY type in ‘your’ party.

    Reply
    • Nope its actually confirmed that Eevee has 1 more evolve form yet to be revealed. It will definitely be a dragon form.

      Gen 2 arrived, Psychic was nerfed with Dark (two eevee forms)

      Gen 4 arrived, Grass was nerfed with Ice (two eevee forms)

      Gen 6 arrived, Dragon was nerfed with Fairy (two eevee forms)
