Gamescom: Pokémon X & Y English Demo [UPD]

by

We’ve known for a while now that fans would be able to get a taste of Pokémon X & Y with a playable demo at Gamescom this year. While the show floor hasn’t properly opened to the public just yet, some have had access to the X & Y demo stands and were able to play through and record the gameplay from the demo, footage of which is below.

httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5g4c7n6WUO8

While the demo is pretty much exactly the same as it was at the Pokémon Game Show, there are a few little bits of new information:

  • Professor Sycamore’s first name is Augustine (as a reader has pointed out, we already knew this!)
  • You are able to feed your Pokémon Poké Puffs, presumably they are what you give your Pokémon in Pokémon Amie (Pofflé in the Japanese games)
  • Upon sending out Pokémon the player seems to have a more friendly, personal tone. Talking directly to the Pokémon as though offering them moral support. “Go on Chespin. I know you can do it!”
  • This touch (possibly to make the bond between you and your Pokémon deeper?) carries across most trainer to Pokémon dialogue… when Chespin is low on HP: “Chespin is in a bit of a pinch. It looks like it might cry…”.

As usual, if any new information is uncovered we’ll report it here, so keep your eyes peeled. We’ve also got someone attending Gamescom later this week, so look out for some coverage and probable bragging (about having played the X & Y demo, of course!) from him soon!

[UPD]: It’s only fair that fans in the US get a chance to play X & Y demos, right?! Nintendo has revealed that a playable demo of Pokémon X & Pokémon Y will be playable at PAX Prime next week, from August 30 until September 2. Who’s going to check it out?

  2. I was somewhat disappointed by the wild battle music…
    I was kind of hopin’ for something more epic out of it, like to match up with the music from Black & White.

    Reply

      • I just find it baffling that we have all of these high quality music rips, videos, and details about cries but no one in japan or germany tried to use fairy wind on exeggutor. Someone better experiment with this for the US demo. I mean all the videos are posted, there’s nothing left to know, except type match ups.

        • Well NintenDaan1 encounters 2 of them, but they were swept by Froakie’s Water Pulse in one turn

          EDIT : He ran from the other one apparently

          Reply

          • Of f***ing course. -__-

            EDIT: He RAN from the other one?

            Excuse me while I start yelling “Idiot!” repeatedly.

          • THIS^

            Seriously, its just a demo. Why is NintenDaan1 speed running this? No one cares about your battling skills, (which are awful btw). He will never get the chance to play this again for 2 months……at least try to get some information….-________-

          • Yeah, I’m more curious about the Pokemon-amie, cause someone said the Pokemon can be angry if they fed them wrong, I really want to see that!

          • I want to see a lot of it. Personally, I might not use it! Still, it is a interesting concept. Pokemon + Nintendogs! I really do like the features! Also, did you notice you couldn’t fight Trevor or Tierno? ;D

          • Hahaha yeah, it’s like GF’s still hiding their team roster cause maybe most of their Pokemon’s still unrevealed yet, or maybe it just feels redundant for having too many trainer battles in a timed demo

          • Yea. I talked about that in a older post. Trevor and Tierno highly have there own Kalos Pokemon. I don’t think they choose a starter. I think Protagonist (You), Serena/Calem, and Shauna get to choose the starter. You get first pick, then Serena/Calem, last but not least Shauna!

          • I’m glad he posted the video, but I’m sure there are other better videos that will be posted. Yeah, like what is he doing….
            I’m curious about pokemon amie also…..I wanna see froakie with his -_- look, implying “I don’t give a sh** about you”.

          • Oh that’s the US. Seriously if I went there….I’d bring a paper and pencil with an unfilled type chart with one goal: “keep playing the demo until I have filled it out to its fullest”.

          • I don’t think they will have restrictions like the Pokemon Game Show for recording. I will bring a Audio Cable, HD 1080P Camera, Camera Stand, and 2 Friends to cover me up! ;D

  7. Dear Pokejungle… when you send your representative to play this game can you get him/her to check a couple things.

    1. Sylveon’s stats so we can predict its BST
    2. how fairy wind affects psychic, grass, water, fighting and whatever other pokemon are available.
    3. whether skitty is a fairy type by catching it.
    4. Only use shadowball (weakest move) on the professor’s dragonite to see if it has multiscale and possibly confirm the return of hidden abilities.

    Thank you.

      Why couldn’t it have been you that played the demo….were stuck with “look at how many OKHOs I can do and how fast I can finish the demo”….-_____-

    • >whether skitty is a fairy type by catching it
      THANK you!

      Though Hidden Abilities do return- that double battle on YouTube includes a Drizzle Politoed, and the Torchic that’s being distributed has its Hidden Ability of Speed Boost.

    • Ten minutes isn’t a very long time to experiment with details. I think the best thing we could have found out in the English demo was the translations. Your encouraging words whenever you throw out your Pokemon and your Pokemon ‘waiting for your directions’ was very cool and a lot deeper than previous scripts.

      Reply

    • I wonder.. is the Gabite using dragon attacks? At what point can you use Sylveon against it? I would really like to know if fairy is really immune to dragon..

      Reply

  10. Well I just heard that you can’t click on the summary for any of the pokemon. That was in the description of one of gameplay videos on youtube. So good luck finding out if skitty is fairy type, and stop criticizing these people for bringing us good footage. Stay classy pokejungle.

    Reply

  11. The Pokebeach rumor left out something really vital! It didn’t say what types Fairy type resisted, just that it was immune to Dragon types. It wouldn’t make sense for Pokemon to give Jigglypuff the Fairy type without adding some resistances to Jigglypuff in the process to buff it up. Or it could be that the Fairy type is just like the Normal type? Who knows. What do you all think?

    Reply

    • I don’t think they will be Immune to Dragon. That would weaken Dragon-Types too much! Pokemon just wanted to weaken them “a little”. As confirmed Fire types resist Fairy! I’m expecting Poison, Steel too be the same! I know there was another PokeBeach rumor that said it was weak to Ice. Yet, everything will be known in the Next CoroCoro. We will get the Fairy-Type weakness and advantages!

      Reply

      • I don’t think you get what I am trying to say!

        I know that when a Fairy type attacks, it’s moves won’t do much damage to Fire and Psychic types. But all I want to know is what types’s moves won’t do much damage to Fairy types! Arceus! This is becoming a mad house.

        Reply

    • You’re right. According to the Pokebeach rumor:

      – Fairy is immune to Dragon.

      – Poison and Steel are super effective against Fairy.

      – Fairy is super effective against Dragon (confirmed), Dark, and Fighting.

      – Fairy is not very effective against Fire (confirmed), and Psychic.

      We don’t know if it resists anything else other than being immune to Dragon (per the rumor).

      Also, according to http://therandominmyhead.tumblr.com/post/58582467529/summary-of-news-both-confirmed-and-speculated-in-other Psychic took neutral damage from Fairy in the Demo. Additionally, it said Poison resisted Fairy. This disputes the Pokebeach rumors, but at this point the website I posted might still be speculation.

      Still don’t know what else it might resist though lol. Oh well, we’ll find out in a month with CoroCoro 😀

      Reply

      • Still, remember take everything with “a Grain of Salt”. Everything will get cleared up in the next CoroCoro. Yet, I don’t think Fairy-Type Pokemon will be immune! That would cause a Major Weakness for Dragon-Types. I really can’t wait for that CoroCoro!

        Reply

        • Please, Pokebeach rumor, be wrong about something! He was wrong about Professor Sycamore and Patrice, he mixed them up. It’s pretty obvious at this point that Sycamore is gonna be giving you the Kalos starters and NOT the Kanto starters as the rumors said. There’s even an anime trailer of him showing them to Ash to back this up. He was also wrong about the 2nd Mewtwo forme, as I’m sorry, it probably won’t be getting revealed at this point and that if it was gonna be true, it would of been revealed back in July. You know? 😀

          Reply

          • Oh, so he mixed up the two professors’ names. Did you happen to notice how he also totally called the existence, English names, and type combinations of Pangoro, Inkay, and Malamar? Or how he totally called the Fairy type, its advantage over Dragon, Fire’s resistance to it, and Sylveon and Mawile being that type? Or the English names of Helioptile, Pancham, Gogoat, and Fletchling? Or the existence and effect of Draining Kiss? Or the fact that there would be a Professor Sycamore in the first place? Or Sky Battles? Or the first Gym being a Bug Gym? I think the guy’s entitled to mess up a minor detail, such as which professor does what, or the minor typos in Pancham and Malamar’s names.

            And as for Mewtwo’s second form, perhaps it’s what he mistook Mega Mew for?

          • I think we are going to get a second mew thing … whether its a mewtwo forme , or a mew mega evolution.

        • Absolutely. And don’t forget those Pokebeach rumors happened very early in development. There’s been a lot of time to potentially switch up the strengths and weaknesses of Fairy type.

          Personally I’m hoping Fairy and Dark are super effective against each other…and that’s only because my little Chespin might be Grass/Dark 😉

          Reply

          • OMG dude! I hope that Fairy and Dark are super effective against each other too! Xerneas and Yveltal are both of the Fairy and Dark/Flying types. I can’t see Xerneas being strong against Yveltal and Yveltal not being strong against Xerneas! It just does not make sense! Also considering that Reshiram and Zekrom were both to weak to each other with their Dragon typing, so neither had an advantage.

          • Well, Kyogre was strong against Groudon type wise 😉

            But still, it’d be nice if Fairy and Dark were a counterpart like that, being super effective against each other.

          • Please, please let your information pan out! I’d love to see everyone’s face when a Pokebeach rumor is wrong. xD

          • He was wrong about Professor Sycamore and Patrice, he mixed them up. Patrice I think is that lady on GTS information news screenshot. It’s pretty obvious at this point that Sycamore is gonna be giving you the Kalos starters and NOT the Kanto starters as the rumors said. There’s even an anime trailer of him showing them to Ash to back this up. He was also wrong about the 2nd Mewtwo forme, as I’m sorry, it probably won’t be getting revealed at this point and that if it was gonna be true, it would of been revealed back in July. You know? 😀

          • Could be. He did say that: “If the previously revealed forme of Mewtwo can be said to look roughly similar to Mewtwo’s original design, the second supposed form of Mewtwo can be said to look roughly/vaguely similar to Mew‘s design.”

          • So what if he mixed up the roles of the two professors? Are you forgetting about the buttload of stuff he got right?

          • Well, yeah, we know he was going off of memory. I’m thinking that would certainly explain the typos he made with Pancham and Malamar, and maybe even the professor mix-up. Still doesn’t detract from the fact that he got just about everything else right thus far.

          • That part about the rumor is true I think. Considering that Fennekin knows Psybeam, it’s a sealed deal. Lol.

          • I would’ve preferred if Chespin turned out Grass/Rock (I’m a big fan of Cradily, love the typing), but Grass/Dark is great too >:) Mischievous little critter haha. Can’t wait to see the evolutions!!

      • I hope it is!! Cause I would never put Dedenne in front of a steel type regardless and poison is fine. But it can Take Down A TON if Dark and Fighting are weak to it Too!!! Along with Electric Its Gonna Be BEAST!!! 0_0

      • i really have a feeling gamefreak found out about these Hirobyte rumors and changed some of these..so maybe he was right..initially

        Reply

  14. So, after what Missingo. Master said, I sadly think the Pokebeach rumor guy is right and Fairy types WILL be IMMUNE to Dragon types and that they wouldn’t want to give Fairy types resistances because of some of the Pokemon that are getting retyped such as Jigglypuff and Gardevoir. This is probably to be fair about them not having too many resistances are becoming overpowered like the Dragon type. Because if Gardevoir was, talking hypothetically here, not weak to Fire, Ice, and Water type moves, it would be overpowered. So yeah, I really think that Fairy type is the new Normal type and worried how much this is gonna upset the metagame.

    Reply

    • We’ll know for sure in a month with CoroCoro, which is set to reveal the Fairy type chart. Just keep in mind, those rumors were leaked to Pokebeach very early in the development process. Who’s to say GameFreak hasn’t rethought the strengths and weaknesses of Fairy type? It’s possible, we’ll see soon enough 😀

      Reply

      • I’m sorry but I think since January when they first revealed X and Y to us, they haven’t changed a single thing and are probably just pulling our leg. Although, they did say that they were working on a way to transfer Pokemon from Generation V to Generation VI.

        Reply

      • But I think I’m just a little upset right now and that you may be right and that he probably forgot what resistances were with Fairy types or that they changed them. I hope either of the ladder is correct.

        Reply

    • Yes, but the leaks also said that Psychic would be resistant against Fairy, and based on this guy.

      http://therandominmyhead.tumblr.com/post/58582467529/summary-of-news-both-confirmed-and-speculated-in-other

      Who has been collecting information based on the play test of the demo, Psychic appears to be fully normal resistance against Fairy. Plus, Poison is apparently resisting it too. That right there would already be a change. Besides, we’ve seen that they have altered some things anyways, some graphical elements appear to have been refined a bit from the initial stuff we saw back in January, at least apparently, I’ve heard it said enough times.

  15. Hey something’s bother me! if I choose the male trainer then I’ll get 2 famale trainer shauna and serena :l as a rival :l

    Reply

  16. Wouldn’t Fairy type moves be resistant on other Fairy types? So, I have some tiny feeling Beach’s leaker forgot to mention the resistances of Fairy types. He mentioned everything else, that Fairy will be immune to Dragon, weak to Poison and Steel, Fire and Psychic types would take half damage from their moves. But problem is, it’s a big thing for him to leave out. In fact, he should of said that Fairy types would of had no resistances if there wasn’t any just to be clear. So, I hope the damn type chart comes out to clear this up soon! I’m getting really anxious!

    Reply

  17. Ooooo, this makes me more excited! I knew it’s the same demo, but I can actually see the dialogue, although I kept pausing the video so I could read it xD I’m that hooked. And I really loved that personal, bondy talk during battles, because it just made me feel like connecting with the Pokemon even more (and I was already connected with them). I just loved all the times Chespin looked back and all the dialogue with it. My patience is becoming even more thin though, oh well.

    • “There will be compatibility with old games, but not in the same way you’re used to.”

      Hmmm…

      Don’t believe the rumors honestly, but always enjoy reading them!

      Reply

      • Seeing as Pokémon Red & Blue and its remakes included the sorrowful tale of Cubone’s Mother’s death, I’d say it’s safe to assume
        Yveltal’s death theme will stay in the western markets.
        If not, than substitute death for oblivion since the name of
        Yveltal’s signature move in Japanese, Death Wing,
        is changed to Oblivion Wing in English.

        Reply

      • Yes. Most Likely. It goes against some religions. So, Pokemon doesn’t want to interfere with it. Also, it’s something we kind of get offended by in the Western Seas! So, Pokemon is just playing it safe! Also, Yveltal’s Signature Move “Death Wing” was changed to “Oblivion Wing” in Western Areas (English)!

        Reply

    • I don’t mean to be a debbie-downer, but on one it said there will be 45, and on the other it listed like 49 Pokemon getting Megas (And All Megas announced except Mewtwo, are not even on that list, and that brings up it to 50+) I think at least that part is not true, since it conflicts

      Reply

        • You might be true, but the list didn’t have the ones revealed, and I counted 49. I counted again, to be sure, and got the same number

    • Man I Love This! Though I wish for more new Pokémon and kinda sad fully evolving is So important now, even more than it already was but Still Everything is Very Cool!

      Reply

    • Subtract 18 for all the starter evolution and 6 for the ones revealed and we have grand total of 21 mega evolutions of pokemon other than ones revealed and starters.

      Reply

    • *passes out salt to everyone*

      Somethings I believe, yet others… interesting. I hope Milotic gets a Mega Evolution, that is if Gyarados gets one.

      Reply

    • OK, they loaded for me. Hmm…

      More legendaries than any other region? Wow. And bear in mind, Sinnoh had a LOT of legendaries. If this is really gonna top that, then just… WOW.

      Compatibility with the old games, but not in the way we’re used to? I certainly hope that means that transfers don’t involve menial little minigames and aren’t just six at a time anymore. Hopefully this means faster transfers, with the ability to keep their held items- I want my stash of Master Balls to make it to Kalos!

      Plenty of postgame content? Good. Good. I approve.

      Mega Stones are DLC? Ehh, not sure I’m buying that. Pretty sure they said that they don’t want paid DLC in main Pokémon games. Unless they mean event items, like Blazikenite? I guess I’d be OK with that. I mean, not being normally able to get Mega Evolutions isn’t exactly a deal breaker for me.

      Return to Hoenn? I was hoping for Red and Blue remakes again, though if they bring back Secret Bases as they were in Hoenn, then this is good.

      No Mega Weezing? I am disappoint.

      • We’ve already had Kanto in Red, Blue, Green, Yellow, Gold, Silver, Crystal, FireRed, LeafGreen, SoulSilver, and Heartgold. Is 11 games not enough? Personally, I’m peeved that Kanto gets so much attention. Sure it’s the first region, but not everyone likes to revisit regions 11 times.

        Reply

      • They probably meant that you just transfer Pokemon without the annoying mini-game (at least I hope so)
        EDIT: Just finished reading your comment XD I really have to finish reading before commenting.

        Reply

    • They lost me at “Kalos will have more legendaries than any other region.” Everything else I could both believe and even want. More legendaries than any other region before……that I can say no to. I think what Gamefreak needs to do is slim down the amount of legendaries there are in a given gen. At this point there are so many of them that I ask myself how are they so legendary when there are so many of them. Now I understand that they are going to introduce more legendaries each gen and I’m ok with that and even welcome them. I just think it would be better if there weren’t like 14 legendaries for a given region.

      Reply

      • Not necessarily NEW legendaries. It states that the most legendaries will be in the region, not specify how many old or new. Mewtwo for instance would be featured along with other legendaries introduced in prior generations as listed in the new mega evolutions developments. Thus, this generation may introduce much fewer legendaries than in the past two generations if the rumor is substantiated.

        Reply

        • Ya I guess that’s true. I don’t mind them revisiting old legendaries by making them mega, but I just don’t want to see a butt load of brand new legendaries to be thrown in the already gigantic pile.

          Reply

          • Don’t worry, I thought the same thing at first, I was like nooo, this will be worse than all of the Gen 4 legendaries, of which almost 14% of pokemon introduced were legendaries! That is just excessive to say the least.

          • I want pokemon like Jirachi, Celebi, Mew, Manaphy, etc. to be found in-game since so many people sometimes miss the events.

          • I really don’t see a problem nor do I beleive Gen 4 was bad because it has alot of Legendaries infact I find that quite idiotic.

          • I said gen 4 was bad? No, I said the fact that there was so many legendaries was bad. Please learn to read before claiming that something is idiotic.

          • First of all I never said you did nor did nor was I replying to you. There are however people that do beleive such logic.

            Second, the fact there were so many legendaires is not bad. It may bed to you but that’s your opinion.

            Third you need to your own advise.

      • Well, there is people that like to battle using “Ubers”, and that is a limited list.. Creating MEGAs (including “bad oldies”, very good oldies and legendaries) and several new legends would increase strategy in it. IMO.

    • Posted prior to pokebeach post:

      “I just read this on Facebook: In the of: Pokemaniacos WI_FI Club And Reparticion Event I this was posted on / vp / I can confirm That this month’s CoroCoro has a feature on the long-rumored Fairy-type, although the Japanese name of the Type is “Yosei”, so I am uncertain if Hiro This Means That was Necessarily correct. Sylveon Yosei is a pure-Type Pokemon, and is Known as the maryoku Pokemon, “Magical Charm”.The attack shown in the trailers for the Mini-Movie is called Mirakuru Hou, “Miracle Cannon”, and is said to heal the opposing Pokemon, yet you reduce Greatly Their Attack and Special Attack. Clefairy, Togepi, Jigglypuff, Audino, Chansey, Skitty , and Dunsparce are shown With Their “Normal” Type changed to Yosei Type. The magazine mentions That a recent event in the Pokemon World has awakened a long-ago sealed power, explaining the Type Change. More Pokemon are said to awaken to this power, hinting at additional Type changes. A Type Chart is shown displaying how Yosei Matches Up – Yosei is immune to Dark and Dragon – Yosei is weak to Psychic, Poison, Bug, and Ghost – Yosei Resist Fire, Water, Ground, and Flying. – No Type is weak to Yosei. – Fire, Water, Ground, and Flying resist Yosei. – Type is not immune to Yosei. ? Hiro, this is true? I hope you can respond soon”

      The site appears to have certain connections with Hiro, or at least some other credible sources.

    • No because everyone is too busy trying to OHKO everything, run from every battle, and speed run the demo so they can show off how good they are…..-______-

      • You can’t check typing anyway. One of the youtubers who posted gameplay specifically stated that. You cant open the summary to check. Same as stats. Stopping giving the people that made this footage crap.

        Reply

        • Um if fairy wind is super effective against gabite….that gives absolutely no information about type advantages….according to your belief.

          Reply

          • If that info is already known it doesn’t make a difference. You can’t open the summaries of pokemon in the demo. You wont know what opposing pokemon or pokemon u caught in the demo gained fairy type. Same with stats.

          • so if an opposing gabite used say dragon pulse on your sylveon and it doesn’t affect syllveon, what does that tell you??….NOTHING????

          • That fairy is immune to dragon moves. You seem to miss my point. I’m talking about OLD pokemon getting a NEW typing. You can’t tell if gets a new typing. Like skitty for example. You can catch a skitty but still can’t tell what it is, especially because its normal type that only has 1 weakness.

          • you could try experimenting like say using every single possible attack type you have with you to see if they are resisted or not. If a single move is resisted, super effective or even neutral, then that’s a piece of useful information. There a so many other things you can test, but people either KO the skitty or run away…giving very little useful information in return

          • You only have so much time to play this game. Besides, it wouldn’t surprise if Pokemon delibrately hid certain pokemon or other info so nothing would come out until they decide to reveal it.

          • If anything is going to be posted online, after all the existing known information is posted, it should solely focus on stuff we don’t know, not show us what we already know.

          • Thats the point. They probably hid certain facts in the demo so they could put out the important stuff online. This demo was only ever going to focus on mega evolutions and graphics anyway.

          • The only counter example I can think of is that exeggutor can be found in the wild, you have a sylveon with fairy wind. You have complete control over using fairy wind…and yet no one has done this. Its not like I’m asking you to wait for gabite to use a dragon move. Its like asking you to switch your pokemon to sylveon and select fairy wind….something you can do in less than a minute

          • Yeah, we know it has Sand Tomb, Rollout, and Take Down. That does leave room for a fourth move, BUT! The AI is no dummy. The fact that we have yet to see Gabite pull out a fourth move against Sylveon does say a lot if it turns out to have a Dragon move up its sleeve, does it not? Hell, ever since R/S/E, NPCs will, without fail, switch out against a Shedinja if their current Pokémon can’t do anything to it and they have something else that can.

          • That could also be a blatant hint that gamefreak does not want us to know something about dragon moves aganst fairy types that will be revealed in the next corocoro.

      • People can’t check Pokemon’s types on the stat screen because GF disabled it for the demo. But it is annoying how people aren’t experimenting or stalling with Sylveon. Also odds are Gabite won’t use a Dragon move against Sylveon because the AI would never use a move if the opponent is immune to it.

        Reply

        • I know that you can’t check status screen, did I ever say that you could?

          I’m just saying the same thing you said, keep testing stuff….play the demo multiple times…don’t play it once and call it a day.

          Reply

          • Well that’s what the other person was trying to say (about the stat screen) and you started talking about Pokemon attacks and stuff and that’s something different. Just trying to clear things up.
            Also they only have a few minutes to play coz there are other people waiting. They don;t have all the time in the world unfortunately. 🙁

          • I see your point, I’m sure its hectic and you don’t have much time, but can someone solely focus on type charts like make sylveon use fairy wind on exeggutor in the PAX game show coming up. This is all that people ask.

        • So, what if you used, for instance, Chespin against Gabite, and just switched out to Sylveon, and hope you correctly predicted the use of a Dragon move? Then again, Sand Tomb might interfere with that…

          • That’s fine, coz Gabite would expect to be attacking Chespin, so that could work. Tbf we still have never seen that Gabite use a dragon move I don’t think, I wouldn’t be surprised if GF didn’t give it one just for lols.

          • thank you for thinking the right way. Gabite is more likely to use a dragon move on chespin than sylveon..there’s at least a chance for a switch in to sylveon

          • If it has one Dragon Atk.. might not even include that (damn it GF!). Demo users could switch and switch for as long as possible until they get a hit.

    • It’s not a lot, but thanks all the same. And hey, any new attacks confirmed for these Pokémon is that much more for my daydreams! I was daydreaming earlier about if Pokémon was real, and I was battling a wild Bunnelby with my Helioptile, and all I could have the Bunnelby use was Dig and Quick Attack.

  21. Charm was confirmed retconned to Fairy, I think its safe to say that moves like “Attract”, “Wish”, “Healing Wish”, “Moonlight”, “Captivate”, “Lovely Kiss”, amongst others becoming Fairy moves.

  25. Hey a skitty!
    I heard some speculation it might be a normal/fairy type.
    Hmmm, let’s vine whip it! Defeating a skitty would be very satisfying.
    I mean, it’s not a huge deal that I have the abiltiy to catch one and
    confirm its typing, I am more interested in seeing Skitty’s faint animation.
    I traveled out to play this event to avoid discovering new information!

    • How would we find out, though? Nothing in the demo has any Dragon, Steel, or Poison moves to work with that we know of, and we can’t view the stats of Pokémon in the demo.

    • I don’t think they traveled out to satisfy your questions, they wanted to play the demo because they love Pokemon and it looks fun. There is also way more at Gamescon that just Pokemon. They only have ten minutes to enjoy the demo before having to stand in line again, and besides, unless you get lucky, I really doubt anyone will be able to dig up any more information than what we already found out (which was a good amount of information that no one seems…satisfied with).

      If you wanna know about it so bad go play the demo yourself.
