New Pokémon X & Y Direct to Air Sept. 4th

Breaking news! A new Pokémon XY Nintendo Direct is set to air tomorrow at 4am Pacific / 7am Eastern / 12pm UK time/  1pm Mainland Europe. An English version has been confirmed for both the UK and the US. Stay tuned for our live coverage tomorrow!

Happy that we will finally get some news? What could it be? It’s still quite a few days before Corocoro hits and maybe they’ll want to prevent early leaks by revealing it all themselves? Here’s me hoping for an official Orot reveal, along with some new Mega Pokémon and maybe a totally new mechanic!

  1. If I were living in a dream they would announce that all the starters get a mega evolution and they would announce a second new eveelution to make sylveons counterpart (which it would be a dragon type) but I know that won’t happen sadly. Im just hoping its something amazing, like cool new mega pokemon or the starter’s evolutions!

  2. Please Arceus, let it be confirmation that migration is possible, plus some eye-bleedingly awesome game footage. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE.

    What the heck is big enough news to warrant another pokemon-specific direct rather than leaving it to CoroCoro or Smash? The last one announced the 6th generation! Oh, my poke-fangirl heart is thumping madly tonight…

    • I like what Kriffix posted earlier in regards to migration:

      “They’ll probably make a free downloadable app that you can transfer your B/W/B2/W2 Pokémon in, then when you switch cartridge to X/Y you’ll be able to transfer them in from there.
      After all, the dreamradar was a 3DS app that allowed you to transfer pokémon IN to B2/W2, it shouldn’t be too hard to make it so that it can take pokémon OUT then store them. Well, theoretically anyway.”

      • I hope Kriffix is right – it’s my biggest hope for XY too and I won’t feel 100% happy about the games till I know all my old faithful pokes can join me in Kalos! 🙂

        • I’ve had a strong belief in this for a while.. Also Remember that both the BW games and the 3DS are capable of Infrared connections…

  3. I hope we get RSE style dive back, only 10000 times bigger than BW/BW2. I wanna find pokemon in seaweed again, search for lost ruins, and maybe make a secret base.

  4. I imagine they will probably announce the Tretta localization, the Pokkén Fighters game, a few new Pokémon (including Ogrotto, Mega Kangaskhan, perhaps the first Mythical Pokémon), and generally remind us that Pokémon Rumble U is now available on the Nintendo eShop with the figures available at retail stores. Plus we might just get something a little less predictable, I’m thinking whatever they plan to fill in that last mystery slot on the X/Y site with or starter evolutions, even.

  5. Why does Gamefreak have to do this in the middle of the week? And to make it worse at the time I leave for school. I will be the last to know any news. 🙁

      • Yeah, I’m pretty bummed that the games are coming out while I’m just starting college, I’m just going to hope that I’ll have a bit of free time around then…

        Reply
        • You and me alike. I was disappointed when I learned the games would be released right in the middle of my first freshman semester. But unless I can get a job, I will have plenty of free time because of my classes.

  6. my BIGGEST hope is to see the evo’s of the starters, but i would also love to see more mega evos’s or new pokemon. 🙂 *fingers crossed

  7. I’m just pumped as hell to see what they reveal, honestly at this point after all the awesome things GF has shown us I don’t really what it is along as it as least not some form of recap video

  8. Oh my gosh… what if Colress is the Champion?! They might announce the return of old characters, so it could be possible. I don’t think so, but it would be very surprising.

  9. It’s confirmed we’ll get something new. I don’t know if anyone said this, but the website says it will feature new info about XY. I don’t think they would consider an Oorotto reveal to be “new” because Japan already has it. :/

  10. Am I the only one hoping that they will have a difficulty setting to select from at the beginning of the game? I’m tired of sitting down and breezing through. Give more experience for the higher level of difficulty and regular for easy or something too. I beat SS in less than a day.

    Reply
    • You are not alone! That was ridiculous that you had to beat the game before you could choose a difficulty level, and it was only made worse by the fact that each Version only got one of the difficulty levels.

      Reply
      • Especially whenever you remember everything from the original. Which I had Crystal version that I was proud of because I bought it with my own money. The were out of S and G

    • YES….omg thank you for mentioning this. I want a difficulty beyond hard, even BW2 hard mode was too easy from the very beginning. Lunatic+ mode for pokemon X and Y. And it better be available from the beginning. All trainers have perfect IVs, max EVs, ridiculous attacks, and over leveled….xD. I want the 1st gym to feel like the elite four champion battle.

      Reply
    • Id definitely like a difficulty change. Nothing close to something like Shin Megami Tensei but something at least to where the wild Pokemon and trainers KNOW whats effective against you and will try to smack you around with it. Its irritating when you know something your facing has Ice Beam, and you have a Grass type out and they use Water Gun or something… ridiculous.

      Actually, I think trainers should have AI based on types, instead of just GL and E4 having slightly more intelligent AI. An example would be- Veteran trainers would have Pokemon with nice coverage and would switch out and use types to their advantage… where as the Juniors or Youngsters might not know as much and switch into a SE attack or use the incorrect move type. Just my opinion.

        • Im just now trying out the series with the 3DS release, and its very hard for me to even adjust to normal difficulty honestly. Im not used to RPGs that punish you for missing attacks lol. Also, its kinda nerve wracking to play, since you can pretty much die if you face ANYTHING thats within 10 levels of your character. I dont think Pokemon needs THAT per se… Im going to try to finish SMT just to say I can do it, but I want my Pokemon to stay a slightly more casual and fun experience- without the constant anxiety.. lol.

  11. I know it’s unlikely BUT it wouldn’t be out of the question for them to announce that the demo will be going onto the e-shop, right? *Being overly optimistic ’cause I’m excited* 😀

    Reply
    • Im hoping its the demo as well, but its probably pertaining to the special 3DS XLs that were leaked from a retail manifest awhile back, and possibly the strange screen shot that was shown after the Pokemon Convention’s history video.

  12. EPPPPP! SO last minute, yet so enjoyable! 😀 I physically made a sound when I saw this (hereby scaring my family) xD It sucks though that it starts at 7 for me and I have class like 5 minutes after. Dangit! I’m definitely gonna find out, though, even if I get in trouble! This is worth it! 😀 I honestly don’t care what they reveal, so long as it is something good that I can fangirl about to my best friend :3

  13. For GameFreak to be doing another pokemon direct means either big X and Y game news or an X and Y related event. Potentially, we could get the starter evos or perhaps an announcement that a global demo will be available from the e-shop. Either way, I’m seriously anticipating tomorrow!

  14. I know this is off topic but what do you guys think about the leaked Pokedex list on pastebin? Real or fake? I honestly hope it’s fake. I just want opinions from the other readers on here because I’m really nervous about it. lol. Apparently, a bunch of people from GameFAQ’s made wish lists… http://pastebin.com/C6761nic

  15. I hope they reveal the official artwork of Oorotto and Mega Kangaskhan. That baby Mega Kangaskhan is just too cute! What do you guys want to be revealed?

    Reply
  16. I don’t have to leave for school until about an hour and a half past the Direct video. 😀

    I just have to wake up and get ready really early, so I can watch Direct, then walk out the door. 🙂
