Pokémon Wii U?
First. Hahaha!!!
Should be, what, just half an hour left to go? These next thirty minutes will surely be the longest weeks of our lives.
Hour and a half c:
HOUR AND A HALF?! D:
Right?
Its gonna feel like forever.. 🙁
i just hope we get something truly new out of this. I so wish i was there 8(
It’s not proper news so I’ll just post it down here, apparently some of the people entering have been searched for suspicious objects.
“suspicious objects”…like guns & knives or like cameras and recording devices?
Hmm, “suspicious objects” that sounds very suspicious indeed. But would you think people would try to bring guns, knives, etc. ?
Lots of people, enclosed area= great place for a massacre…just saying…
Disturbing though that little fact is, it’s not a bad point…
Japan literally has the lowest gun crime rate.
0 murders per 100,000 people (2008)
That makes no sense whatsoever. 0 murders per 100,000? So gun crime doesn’t exist there? Get real statistics please.
These are real. The number is rounded to the nearest hundredth. Don’t be an idiot, and look it up before you make an ass out of yourself. I actually study world crime statistics at University, among other things. Japan has strict gun restrictions.
JAPAN – Gun Crimes per 100,000
Homocide – 0.00 (2008)
Suicide – 0.04 (1999)
Unintentional – 0.01 (1999)
University of Sydney School of Public Health.
OMG! Maybe Xatu foretold of a terrorist attack?!! NOOOO, this cannot happen to my sweet Swirlix!
You make a great point! Maybe a Pokemon hater would want to do that, lol.
or a harcore pokemon fan that will do anything to steal the demo. 8p
Lol
Now I am concerned for Swirlix’s safety.
Me too! They better not get my Swirlix. Swirlix, don’t worry, I’m coming, just wait for about 60 more days.
I’m assuming it’s weapons and explosives and not recording devices, or at least I’m hoping. Most cell phones these days have recording devices, and I doubt many people won’t have those on them,
Let the people bring in their cameras!
This is going to be Orotto all over again :/
So… in about half an hour it’ll start? like in 5:00 for the US?
Apparently, an hour and a half. 🙁
it starts in one hour at about six Arizonan time
Awww, 2 hours and a half for people up here in Michigan. Urghh, to think I would have to be up till 9:00
u live in michigan? me 2!
Woah, we got some Wolverines in our midst.
Sadly, Wolverines have gone extinct in our state for a long time. :C
Have you been to U of M?
They’d beg to differ. haha
im state! go spartins! 8)
BOO!!!
xD
My second grade teacher and fourth grade teacher are crazy about Michigan State. 😀
What part? I live in Kentwood. xD
I love GR!
okland, bloomfield 8)
That’s 2 hours from my home. xD
IN other words D-town.
I am sorry for your loss by the way. :p
thats ok xD detroit is an hour and a half from where i live sooo..
Oops, I always get my suburbs mixed up. haha
Why is it longer? It’s just time zone differences, for you it should be 8:00 PM (assuming you’re local time is 6:40 PM currently)
I don’t know. RocketClauncher said 9:00 for U.S. and right now it’s 7:42 for us so about 1 hour and 58 minutes wait.
You can’t tell time :p.
It happens to the best of us.
Lol. xD
The US has 5 different time zones, its going to be 9:00 PM for EST (East coast us), but what time is it for you now?
7:46 right now.
Then it would be at 9:00, but it’s only an hour and 15 or so minutes away 😀
Thanks. You see out of my 56 A’s only a handful of them were Math and I’m hoping to do better at Math this year. Only 2 more weeks until School for us. xD Wish me luck guys.
Lucky for me Math is my strong point c:
I would love to be good at math. I just need to practice. I’m hoping for a perfect score this year.
what kind of math?
I’m going into algebra 2 this year…
oh that is easy trig. was hard for me. I also loved statistics that is my fav kind of math class for some reason. To bad that they don’t have poke math to make it fun for people
Well…fun for some people (most people I would say hate math), but everyone keeps telling me that either trig. is gonna be hard and algebra easy or the other way around, but I found both to be easy..
I really hate math but some were easier then others. It seems to depend on the sub-topic
I am a Yooper, so eh, I am WAY up there.
weall know what to expect here. do u think we will get any new and exciting info? if so what can we predict? 8)
New Pokemon? Hopefully a video of the demo!
P.S. Would you like an avatar? Zelda if you’d like 🙂
nah its fine! but thanks anyways! 8)
Okie dokie 🙂
I hope new pokemon rather than megalutions exclusively. However, the megalutions will likely monopolize the new info-bomb.
The demo has a focus on Mega Evolution soo..
hopefully it will reveal the conditions of how to activate the mega evolution
I think there is an option when you are in battle to transform.
I’m hoping that they won’t troll us by showing Oorotto and Mega Kangaskhan (although I would like to see Oorotto’s typing..)
I’d like to see NEW MegaEvolutions and hopefully some new pokemon c:
i wouldent mind some megas, but new pokemon would be better in my opinion 8)
I am the only one excited for the speculated Jynx Mega. Everyone hates that broad except for me.
Also, from the trademark list, I want my Houndoom, Banette, and Gardevoir. And…Venusaur better not be snubbed if Charizard and Blastoise get one!!!
If Jynx gets a Mega, it needs to get a defense/special def. boost..
I want a houndoom for sure, and the two 2nd evolved forms of oddish
Houndoom Mega = Cerebus 😀
houndoom would be nice i want a sczior one
I hope they give us new Pokémon that have megas so it is a 2 for 1 deal
thinking the same thing! 8)
yes. this.
we can only hope to get info like this and more…i’m keeping my expectations low so that if we dont get too many new things to look forward too i wont be super let down…with that being said any new pokenews is good pokenews
Does anyone know how far the demos allow you to play ??
It’ll probably only be like 10-20 minutes worth of gameplay. Maybe like going through a town + route or two routes (if I remember correctly d/p was through jubilife and route 203 and b/w was in iccirus city and route 8)
Dam xD So leveling up Fennekin is out of the question.
I think that they disable evolutions…could be wrong though
i think that in the HG SS demo you could evolve them
But it wasn’t such a surprise when Chikorita evolved into Bayleef :/
it was for me lol :p
Pictures Don’t Work..
refresh the page
They didn’t display for me either at first, but now they are fine.
^ Yeah, what he said.
they never work for me the first time I go on the page. I fixes if you refresh just the way it does things!
Still don’t for me..
you can also open them in a new tab by right clicking it if you want
Try refreshing the page!
Wow. Didn’t realise this was such a big deal. Now I’m excited 😀
Alright, this has been bothering me for a while, but seriously: don’t the authors of these articles use spell check or something? It doesn’t speak well for the rep of this site when there are so many blatant spelling errors in the articles. And no; I’m not a grammar Nazi. I just happen to believe that, even on the Internet, the English language should be respected. I’m not bashing this site at all. I just think it wouldn’t hurt to make sure you aren’t misspelling words like “aerial” or using “began” in the wrong tense. Sorry if you guys don’t agree with me, but it’s the Internet; you don’t have to agree with me.
They could be typing fast to update as quick as possible…..
That is very true. I will give them slack for this one, but the errors in their previous articles don’t really have any valid explanations.
little mermaid CONFIRMED
it is possible that English is not their first language. no matter it is not like everyone is perfect. It also depends on where they are writing from and on what they are writing on.
I disagree. The author’s sentence structures are too accurate to be a non-English speaker. I guess that is also true(the last part, not the second part). It just bothers the crap out of me sometimes…
What!? Are you a goddamn linguist? I think not.
No, but I’ve had enough exposure to people who don’t speak English as their native language. I’m fully aware of what a sentence written by a native speaker looks like compared to a non-native speaker. The structure is just too close to perfect to be from a non-native speaker.
Are you in high school?
What does that have to do with anything?
well I can write fluently in Latin and working on Hebrew so it is not impossible to do. You are right that English is one of the harder lang. to learn
fyi: English is my first and primary language and I still make mistakes all the time.
Sry i tink his riting is perfekt,
LOL
actually he did not spell anything wrong but forgot a “t” I leave it up to you to find were (or ware) 🙂
I already found that one, but he did misspell aerial in one of the photo captions – or whoever typed the captions did. Either way, someone doesn’t know how to spell aerial.
Do you know how to use ‘blatant’ in the correct context?
1. :Obvious, noisy especially in a vulgar or offensive manner : clamorous
2. : Completely obvious, conspicuous, or obtrusive especially in a crass or offensive manner.
You lack an understanding of innuendo and concise diction.
God. Now I sound annoying correcting your poor grammar.
Really? You don’t think “ariel” or “even” are completely obvious spelling errors? Because I certainly do.
and yet they are not as both are words themselves, this is why spell check does not always work. Even was a miss print as the word should have been event. Ariel sounds like the word they were looking for and is not spelled wrong. Therefore they are not obvious errors.
I found this last night it is very interesting and is kind of linked to this kind of think:
http://www.history.com/shows/your-bleeped-up-brain/videos/your-bleeped-up-brain-deception?m=5189717d404fa&s=All&f=1&free=false
That is also true. Even so, before I ever send or post anything, I always manually check for spelling or grammar mistakes. I was just making the point that, if this is a professional(ish) website, then the authors should take the time to double check their work.
Who cares?
And I’ll have to look at this when my stomach isn’t about to implode…
ok it is really funny and different
You don’t understand innuendo.
Words can have different connotation.
For instance, ‘sardonic’ and ‘sarcastic’ both mean sarcasm. However, ‘sardonic’ has a snide and crass connotation, whereas sarcasm does not.
Blatant, has a malicious, crass, vulgar, or offensive connotation in addition to the meaning ‘obvious’.
Spelling two words incorrectly is malicious, crass, vulgar, and/or offensive?
For all you know, I could have OCD, and spelling errors might actually be malicious and/or offensive to me! 😛
They did use the word correctly…?
Really? Who cares? We are all here for updates,content, and pokemon in general. Not the “English language” besides…. there in Japan.
This is a huge insult to English-speakers though!!! I bet this article is going to headline on CNN and Fox tomorrow. I am almost in tears; I am just so upset that someone would be so malicious as to incorrectly spell two words. What has the world come to?
Well i really could not tell you what the world has come to because i know…its a fucked up place. However these guys are busting there asses to get us good information so the word “aerial” being spelled wrong is okkkk! Besidesi am one of the eEnglish speaking natives myself! 😛
Pokedex guide is 800 pages!?! Who needs weights..
So many new Pokemon + Mega Evolution! It’s going to be quite a bit!
yeah so I’m assuming it will include all the old Pokemon. So 649 plus Kalos, let’s say there’s at least 2 on each page…still a lot of other stuff to make it 800 pages. Oh boy 😀
It will be almost as heavy as a dictionary! But full of Pokemon! It will highly include (as you said) all 649 others! Also, the Kalos and Mega Pokemon! So, quite a bit!
I wonder if it includes Mega Pokémon or if a separate “mega dex” or something would be created..
They will probably include the mega forms with the Pokemon itself (because it’s kind of like a form change, no different movesets if they’re only activated in battle), and then a separate page with all the mega forms, and general info on them etc.
So, MegaLucario would be on the same page as Lucario. Yet, your right. Mega Evolution is more of a form change! But I think they will had a page for the Mega Pokemon itself!
I foresee this as that is what they did in b/w 1 and 2. plus it is going to be done in three regions I believe?
Ex. with shiny and genders of pokes
Yeah, at this point it just says it includes them but doesn’t specify how.
Mother of God…..
X and y pokedex!!!!! Where??????
Read the top area!
Oh…(I am an idiot)
Hang on people….the story guide is 600 pages!?!?!? …how many pages is Twilight? 😛
Hmm. It sounds like a Zelda Guide to me. 600 Pages. I wonder what kind of story is in X & Y!
Oooh giddy giddy. I bet the story is a full blown rpg one about light n darkness
which one the complete or semi complete guide
I am so excited to see what they show off. I wish that I could get my hands on one of those 2000 3DS systems.
Also I’m new here. Hello!
Hello, welcome! 🙂
Hey! Welcome to PokeJungle!
Thanks everyone!
I love the Cynthia cosplayer in the picture! Also Iris, lol.
10 Mintues! 😀
Less ;D 46 minutes
Even Less Now! 😀
even less then that now
Dialga speed up the time!
KAWIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII (pokemon smash refrince xD ) sorry, had to get that out! 8)
Fletching is scared.
lol 8D
He was like “Hey” and a random lady is yelling at him! KAWIIII! Now he locks his doors at night! XD
and covers his windows
Until he evolves… He is unsafe.
I feel like voltorb cuz I’m gunna EXPLODE!!!!
For any TCG players, Fairy Energy/Pokémon confirmed.
It was expected. I can’t wait till the show Fairy Type weakness and advantages!
Well Fire resists Fairy. Fairy takes normal damage from Fire.
Is it official?
It says that info in the live update in the article, so I would assume it’s official.
I believe that confirms yet another aspect of the Pokebeach leaks.
And if all the leaks are correct, then Fennekin will be 4x resistant to Fairy…perfect partner switch for Hydreigon?
Yup. Refresh the article.
I guess it would kind of make sense b/c they introduced a dragon type…but I really don’t want another tcg type ._.
Cool symbol
Man this discussion is going to explode in 30 min
Or less…apparently some people have VIP passes that let them go in early…
I wish i had a VIP pass or ….an abra with teleport
1,000+ when it is 9:00 PM (Eastern Time Zone).
30 minutes 😀
‘Fire resists Fairy. Fairy takes normal damage from fire.”
Another reason why the pokebeach rumors are true (for the most part)
Type effectiveness is pretty much confirmed from the rumours yeah
Glad Fire isn’t SE against Fairy. Often dragons carry flamethrower/fire fang etc for Ice-types
So fire resists fairy, but what is super effective against fairy?
edit: I meant what is it weak against.
Poison most probably
and steel probably.
I heard a rumor of Fairy being weak to Poison, Steel, and Ice.
same…was it Iamtheleaker?
I think so.
Dragon.
If the Pokebeach rumors are true then it is weak to Poison and Steel, immune to Dragon, super effective against Dragon, Dark, and Fighting, and Fire and Psychic-type Pokemon take half damage from it.
The only thing we don’t know is what fairy resists
I saw comments down below saying Fire resist Fairy!
He means what Fairy is resistant to. Not what is resistant to fairy.
yeah what Tablethunder said
Oh. Yet, refresh the page and look above! 🙂 They just updated on some new stuff!
It still doesn’t say what fairy resists though (if anything) xP
I thought that it was weak to poison and steel. I hope that is the case, cause those types could use a boost in usefulness.
Sweet! We can choose when to Mega Evolve. Pokemon you made my love for Mega Pokemon grow!
I knew it. Is it a separate button? Can they attack on the same turn or is it a waste of a turn?
Yes! You can select a move and choose to Mega Evolve that turn!
“SWEET” as Gaius would say
;D
I called it ;p
ooooooh strategy 😀 strike when they least expect it 😉
does it have to be the last pokemon on the team to mega evolve?
No. Any Pokemon that can Mega Evolve, in any slot! Also, you can only have one!
one per team or one per battle? cuz serebii said “one per battle”
I think one per team. But Pokemon hasn’t clarified if it is one per Battle or one per Team!
I think I missed something, was fire being resistant to fairy confirmed?
yes
Yes! It is confirmed!
O-o
And I thought fairy was supposed to balance the game, Grass needs the buff more than Fire.
Yea! But it wouldn’t make sense! Fairy’s live around Grass Areas when they are depicted! So, I see why Fire resist there attacks!
Well Grass can represent nature, and although fairy’s can manipulate nature, most are depicted as being unwilling or incapable of harming it.
Wait, so u need to know a move and hold a stone to mega evolve? Or is there something else? 8)
The wording is ambiguous because the source is. We’ll update with more clear details when we get them.
Nope, there is an option. When you go to use a move you can choose to Mega Evolve. For example, in the trailer Mega Blaziken immediately used Blast burn after Mega evolving.
So while we wait for some information to come out, I have a few questions:
1) What was your initial reaction to the Fairy type and what is your opinion now?
2) What was your initial reaction to the mega evolutions and what is your opinion now?
3) What animal/plant/object do you predict will be a Pokemon this gen?
4) Favorite underrated/unappreciated Pokemon?
1) At first I didn’t want a new type, I hated the idea. Now I love it 😀
2) I was skeptical but now I love them!
3) Ogre Pokemon?
4) DUNSPARCE!
Dunsparce all the way!
Did you play Gates to Infinity? The story makes me feel all the more sad for him 😐 which could mean he gets a Mega Evolution.
Haven’t played it yet but I do here him mentioned a lot when the game is bought up! Tempted to get it but it’s still pretty expensive. Besides, I got Y to look forward to :p
1) expected it b/c of the fairy egg group
2) didn’t like it, now I’m in love with it
3) narwhal
4) farfetchd
1 loved it and still do
2 It is going to make some poke more usable so I like it a lot
3 wolf I want this so bad
4 the oddish line
1) I liked it! I still do!
2) I hated it at first! Now I understand it I enjoy them!
3) A New Shark!
4) Magikarp ;D
1) Ambivalent – Now I love them after Swirlix.
2) RIP Pokemon – erhmm, they are ‘okay’ after time has passed.
3) Gaelic Rooster (French symbol)
4) Vespiquen
I guess I will answer my own questions as well:
1) Loved Fairy type and and still do.
2) HATED it, now I’m neutral.
3) I’m hoping for some creative fossil Pokemon that are not based on dinosaurs, so like a saber-toothed tiger?
4) I always kinda liked Mawile, but it was sooo weak I rarely used it. VERY glad it’s getting a boost this gen.
1) Neutral, now pretty content
2) Horrified, now cautiously excited
3)Hoping for a salamander (not lizard) though will probably get a dolphin
4) Golem
