Featured Thread: You are now a gym leader by butsukoy
2 hours yay 😉
must stay awake for this:)
argh the wait is killing me…
Pokéjungle! Are you going to post the video up after it has streamed??
Yes, the video will be up on the site once the broadcast has ended 🙂
I’m staying up for this, so they better show something substantial or I’ll slap a Togepi.
Nooo, poor Togepi! 🙁
oh boy i Pray and hope they talk about the gen 6 Starters Evos and some more New Mega Pokemon:)
Please show the starter evos!! Im gonna bet they’re gonna reveal X and Y 2ds or 3ds bundles 🙂
First Direct from Nintendo that I get to see live w/ everyone else 🙂 Hopefully we get some interesting info!!
Thank God in my place it’ll be 7 p.m, so no need to stay awake late at night 😀 I’d like to see the rumored X&Y bundle ’cause I’ve been reaally saving up to buy it.
And of course, no Pokemon X & Y news without new Pokemon 🙂
Ugh why does school always have to ruin everything?! (I’m on the east coast)
hope for that the battlefield will affect pokemon and that moves could affect the battle field and vice versa, like in the naime, that you can heat up the ground, cause rain for 3 turns after splahing water with a powerfull move, hide behind a rock or in the grass to protect and something like that.
Hi guys! Carl here, previously known as Kyureshizek. Haha.
Asia won’t need to stay up late! It’s just 6pm here in the Philippines. Let’s all enjoy the show later, okay? 🙂
What ever happens.
Me too! Malaysia! it starts at 7:00Pm here for me 🙂
it would be cool if pokemon of the same or similar speed could colide physically or allow special move to have collisions and explode that it woul harm both pokemon and depending on distance from the explosion.
Expectations for this live broadcast-
– Explaining Team Flare in greater detail, their story, goal, etc
– Atleast 2 more Mega evolutions- though I expect to see Mega Kangaskhan’s sugimori artwork
– Official announcement of Oorotto with english name, sugimori art.
– Announcing a new game – the short clip showing Blaziken and Lucario fighting in a realistic Tokyo-like setting.
– Announcing an event for X & Y involving the shiny Dialga, Palkia and Giratina promotional event
– atleast 1 new Pokemon revealed.
– New gameplay trailer
– Discussing Pokemon-Amie in greater detail and how it affects battles.
hahaha as I wrote this it got slightly out of hand, I certainly don’t expect ALL of this, but let’s hope! Reply with your thoughts?
Hope the can do that in just 20 minutes
i think gamefreak, today will announce something that we don’t expect!
I agree. It doesn’t seem like they would do a whole Direct towards Pokemon just for more details on things we already know(I think I said this in the last Pokemon Direct too). I think it’s something BIG that we aren’t aware of yet.
Super Smash Bros.
fingers crossed. 😀
The website says it will talk about NEW details, and to have to have a whole Direct dedicated to it, it must be something big. My body is Reggie. 🙂
No, I’d be willing to bet quite the large chunk of money on that event not being connected to X & Y at all. The rest sounds good, though.
Well, we got shiny Entei, Raikou, and Suicune in the gen 4 games, that unlocked Zoroark in the new games. (BW). In BW we got Keldeo that when sent to BW2 unlocked Keldeo Resolute. These three might unlock something in XY, but there’s really no way to tell.
It would have been announced in Japan, not to mention that they would have been proclaiming “Get a Pokémon that will unlock secrets in the upcoming X & Y games!” from the beginning if that were the case. It seems pretty clear that they will not unlock anything.
One hour left! btw guys i just joined the community^^
Welcome! 😀
Thank you!! The Pokejungle Community is the best!
Welcome 🙂
Welcome! 😀
I giggle think of the shock my office coworkers would experience if I told them I woke up early this morning for Pokemon…hehehee
My body is Reggie. ;D
Indeed!
can´t wait
I predict they will give us a new trailer showing off new meaglutions,starter evos,or mabye new mechanics.And then,at the end they’re gonna announce 2DS or 3DS X and Y bundles^^
Yay! I can’t wait!!!!!! I was up all night waiting for this!
Only 15 minutes! Thank you for having a stream at 9pm at night for me nintendo and game freak! Don’t have to stay up late this time!
I hope I can stay for all of it. I usually leave my house to go to school at 7:15 AM
They will probably start by going over some of the stuff revealed already such as Mege Evolutions, Pokemon Amie and the PSS at which times we may get the odd bit of new info. Then at the end they will probably announce a new mechanic or maybe a new legendary event pokemon that might be available around launch time. Either way we are guaranteed to get something new and most definitely get loads of new footage so im happy.
I don’t know what we’ll be seeing today, but I am certainly one of the ones hoping we get some sort of Smash Bros. news. New (old returning?) character or stage would be a nice treat to see today.
Am I the only one who hasn’t played Smash Bros.? *please don’t hit me*
You should definitely try it! Even if you don’t normally like fighting games I think you’d enjoy it, especially with friends. And don’t worry, there will be no hitting, I’ll have Jigglypuff use Rest.
Why would they do that in a Pokemon Direct though? Wouldn’t that be better for a Smash Bros. Direct?
Why would they do it in an XY Direct?
Yes, I really want one of those. I just figured if they were going to announce something like that anytime soon it would be during a Pokémon Direct.
I have a feeling this is gonna be something big. *knock on wood* Why else would they need 15 mins for it?
I don’t think this will mere be ‘big’. It will be mega!
How do People know it Will be a 15-20 minute Movie
It says it will be approx. 20 mins in length on the stream.
Do you think they might expand on that potential Wii U game and give us the title and unveil it?
Maybe, but this is an XY direct. Unless that game was closely related, like a WiiU version. But it’s a stretch!!!
Like at the end of the stream, announce the new title or something
omg omg omg
1 MINUTE!!!!! :p
actually, it’s 3 :p
No, it’s 2 :p
nah-ah it’s one! :p
2 minutes
Almost time! 😀
1 min
I’m going to bed, I can’t wait any longer.
lol
Lol
IT STARTS! 😀
Woah, they speak english like it’s their first language!
It’s a voice over XD You can here the japanese behind.
No, Really?! :p
gosh it’s lagging
OMG I DONT CARE ABOUT THE PAST…JUST GET ON WITH NEW INFO YOU TROLLS
OMG ARE THEY REMAKING RSE!?
Thought they were, instead they have Pokemon Bank which is interesting
Going over the link cable, etc. Does this mean importing is confirmed?
Masuda looks like their son.
Pokemon Bank!!
Only 3000?
TRANSFER!!!! YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES!!!!!
YES FINALLLY D;
yay I can transfer my amphy
I got chills lol, OMG! THIS MAKES ME SO FU****G HAPPY!!!! That’s what I wanted most!!! 😀
Annual Fee?? :-/
SCEPTILE!
kinda upset i woke up for this
eh paid?
confirms hiro leak
2 starters
MegaSTARTERSS!!!
MEGA VENUSAUR!
omg
MEGA STARTERS!
Mega Charizard! 😀
OMG YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS KANTO STARTER MEGA EVOLUTION
Mega ring!!
NOOOOOOOO LAAAAAAAG. I was seeing the transformation of Charizard to Mega Charizard, but I didn’t get to see what it looked like!
Edit: And the angle on Serebii doesn’t help too much, charizard is kind of in midflight, blocking some details. But, pretty good image of Blastoise.
http://www.serebii.net/direct94.jpg
http://www.serebii.net/direct95.jpg
http://www.serebii.net/direct96.jpg
I think one thing I can tell is, aside from his belly section extending, he looks very much slimmed down.
me too 🙁
Not much. Just minor protrusions. MBlastoise is really cool though.
I just realized I’ve always prefered the grass starter (except for 4th gen – Empoleon)…Looks like it will be Chespin and Bulbasaur for me
Does this mean they want us all to experience it.. e-shop demo confirmed??
Moving-you can die happy now 😀
om I want thAT bundle
Transfer :’)
We all sorta knew it would happen XD it’s nice to have confirmation though. I didn’t get to see Mega starters very well though, only Venusaur they looked like the clones from the first movie at first glance.
Well what can you really do to make Venusar look even better.
I was thinking of bigger plant, or more stylized plant but it only got some vines.
The confirmation that we can transfer makes me so damn happy lol. My Sceptile is heading to Kalos!! ^_^
Haha, and I’m sure there’s video of it now and we can pause to get a better look at the Megas 😀
Well that was some bloody interesting news! GF certainly knows how to hype up the fanbase!
That was incredibly disappointing.
A transfer and storage system, confirmation of the fact that we will be getting TWO starters, MegaEvolutoins for Blastoise, Charizard and Venusaur AND the fact that the X/Y 3DS will be available in North America….What more could you want?
Problem is, its a pay to use service. So Im sure there will be backlash.
Did they mention how much said pay service was? I’m just hearing paid, not a price.
It’s annual.
Yes, I get that. But how MUCH is it. The actual price point. Annual doesn’t say anything about the actual dollar amount.
Oops, that comment was for GLITCH’D. I didn’t hear a price though.
Not for the US, no. Japan is 500 Yen though, so probably 5 bucks.
I’m hoping they’ll offer something like “first month free” to enable people to transfer from 5th gen
Isn’t it Pokemon Bank that’s paid for, not transporter?
But you need Bank to use transporter
They are both one in the same. Transporter uploads to bank, bank transfers to X/Y. Im hearing that there will be some sort of free trial grace period to start though.
Kinda was wish they just did this in a new gameplay video but, what can you do at least we learned something cool new things that people already called.
NO, this is of the best announcements that nintendo ever made
*one
Mega Blastoise looks so funny! TWO starters!
3 if you count Event Torchic 😉
count* (Fixing now)
3 if you get Torchic! Soooo exciting 😀
The 3DS bundle comes out TWO WEEKS before the game does? Dang. That is good.
They’re not bundles, just 3DS XL systems that feature the Xerneas/Yveltal design. No game is included in the purchase.
TWO STARTERS!!……..
–delete–
3 with Torchic ;P
NERDGASM! MEGA CHARIZARD,VENUSAUR,BLASTOISE!!!! *faints*
lol but seriously, I yelled out “YES, F*** YEAH” when they popped up on screen!
I wish there had been more of course, but I love that you get to have one of the original starters! And that X and Y 3DS looks good…
Which starters are you going to choose? I’m leaning more towards Chespin and Charmander.
Same lol, Chespin and Charmander!
+ Mudkip if I can import earlier! :DD Half of my team is set right there.
Fennekin and Bulbasaur
Going for Froakie and Charmander! Though considering that Torchic will be given through wi-fi, it might be wiser for me to go with Bulbasaur!
x- fennkin and squritle
y- chespin and Charmander
Don’t Forget about Torchic which is distributed…
Yeah but I’m going to use my soon to be hatched shiny Mudkip if I can import early! 😀 I’ll probably use Chespin, Blastoise,Blaziken. Still going with Charmander and Chespin. If I have to wait until the end of the game which I don’t think you have to this time around I’ll use a temporary water type and train my Mudkip until it’s evolved and ready to use :DD
SHINY. CHARIZARD. I HAZ IT. However, that means I probably need to get Charmander anyways, as it’s not confirmed yet, but how likely is it that they come holding their respective stones?
They could with it or someone gives it to. In the video a guy talks about the players Mega Stone.
Pokemon Bank wont be released until December 25th (in Japan at least), so you won’t be able to import from Gen V until then.
the megas look so cool and what does venusaur even change?
He gets the flower on his head and the plant on his back is larger
thanks i didnt notice that
There also appears to be vines dropping from its flower 🙂
Wait how does that work… the 3DS Bundle coming out before the game is officially released… Wait, I think I know. The game is supposed to be a on the system, like on the SD card, they may have you have a code to use to get the game free.
It’s like how the Wind Waker Wii U bundle is going to work. You get the game early by buying it pre-installed on the console.
No, i think the NA and European releases do not include the games and are simply modeled after them.
Were the Kanto starters mega forms shown? If so, please post!!
Yep they were, there are some pics up on other websites at the moment, but waiting for better ones/ an upload of the direct video!
Yes, and they’re awesome…someone should be able to post
Kanto Starters Mega Evolutions!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s5fGijuHel4
That was incredible! I want to give Masuda a hug <3 nothing will please me when it comes to news these days, but this was good enough. But it still feels like I have to wait a year for them to come out.
The pokemon bank annual fee is a huge buzz kill.
I squeaked at the announcement of MegaCharizard. Annual fee for Pokemon Bank? Hmmm… I guess it depends on how expensive it is. If it’s anything like the apple apps for the Pokedex then, I won’t be getting it. I kind of hoped for more announcements I guess.
Nah, bro it’s all about that Mega Blastoise Swag.
It does look pretty cool but, it won’t be my first choice.
There’s official art of the Mega Evolutions for the Kanto starters on the official Pokémon X and Y website!
Thank you! 😀
Mega Charizard looks amazing <3333
Mega Venusaur has Thick Fat, Mega Blastoise has Mega Launcher, and Mega Charizard has Drought!!!
Mega Launcher’s new right?
Mega Launcher apparently powers up Pulse moves like Water Pulse and Dark Pulse according to XY Website.
yea, looks like Blastoise can learn Dark Pulse in xy. Probably Dragon Pulse as well but unlikely.
Thank God! Thick fat is a real saver for Venusaur! I’m sensing it becomes more of a tank than ever!
D-D-Drought?! *faints*
I’m sensing an insta-Megacharizard Smogon ban :p
i know it’s a little off topic, but i’ve never understood why smogon can say certain things are banned? isn’t it a fan run site?
Yeah but it’s rules are generally followed by most tournaments so it’s pretty important
oh, alright 🙂 thank you
MEGACHARIZARD aka best looking dragon ever!!
Too bad he’s not dragon type
MegaCharizard is Fire/Flying….What a letdown
Yeah, I would have though they’d change it… At least on the plus side, that means he’ll completely resist Fairy moves, as it were.
Given that it’s got the Drought ability plus the likely increase in power and speed, I think the dragon typing would be too much in this case. At least stealth rocks will help prevent the overuse of this pokemon
Sceptile looks very epic!
little dissapointed that you have to pay an Anual Fee for Pokemon Bank…
They are preparing you for real life :p
It’s won’t be too high xD
Info on the Poke Transporter:
“When you download Pokémon Bank, you can also download the linked application Poké Transporter! When you insert a Pokémon Black Version, Pokémon White Version, Pokémon Black Version 2, or Pokémon White Version 2 Game Card into a Nintendo 3DS system, you’ll be able to use Poké Transporter to transfer Pokémon from these games into their own online Boxes. Then, you can easily transfer those Pokémon into Pokémon X and Pokémon Y usingPokémon Bank!
Poké Transporter is a free downloadable application for the Nintendo 3DS system that will be available along with Pokémon Bank. Note that Poké Transporter cannot return Pokémon toPokémon Black Version, Pokémon White Version, Pokémon Black Version 2, or Pokémon White Version 2 after they have been stored in an online Box.
Note: You may find yourself unable to use Pokémon Bank or Poké Transporter to deposit any Pokémon created illegally by software unauthorized by The Pokémon Company and Nintendo into your online Boxes, or to move these Pokémon between online Boxes.”
So it’ll be a good way to find out which of my beloved Pokes that I got from people are “fake”
Yeah, no more cheated Pokemon.
And I know my Sceptile is real ^_^
who’s gonna use the kanto starters in hisher team? ;D
Me!
Count me in!
I guess this pretty much confirms Megacharizard appearing in the new origins anime
Not really, they said in the stream that you need one of those fancy mega-ring thingies, that it’s one of the mysteries of the KALOS region and the fact that Origins is based on Pkmn Red and Green.
Mega Blastoise new ability Mega Launcher powers up Pulse Moves (Dark and Water Pulse eg.)
Well, Pokebank having an annual fee is a let down, makes sense though.
Anybody remember the pokebeach rumor saying Sycamore was a separate professor who gave you the kanto starters?
Also, Mega Charizard and Mega Venusaur are kind of disappointing, I guess Mega Blastoise is okay.
All about that Blastoise swag.
MegaLauncher improves the power of pulse moves such as water pulse and dark pulse.
Ughhh…I guess I have to pretend to be a grown-up now and go to work.
Ofiicial Images from the Pokemon SIte!
Kinda guessed that the Kanto starters’d be getting Mega Evos
Blastoise looks amazing, followed by Charizard (ha-ha for the Fire/Dragon fans, too bad), then Venasaur (I do like the ability though, great addition and the flower looks sweet)
The annual charge is a bit of a bummer, depends how much it is, cause if you don’t pay for it, then you won’t be able to transfer from the old games, would’ve been easier if it was through the PGL, even if it was only one Pokemon at a time
Annual fee is 500 Yen/per year.
Is that for PokeBank only? Or is Transporter part of it?
Transporter comes free with it, so I think it’ll cover everything.
transport is free with the bank
which is like five dollars us right?
So if it’s like 5 dollars do we pay monthly or yearly.
Yearly.
Yes, around 5 dollars. And it’s yearly.
Yeah, £3 annual is buttons.
I would gladly pay $5 a year to transfer
Yeah, 5 bucks for an entire year is nothing. It’s a meal at McDonalds, if that’s it, then yeah, I don’t have a problem with it really.
Ah that’s not too bad, I guess with all the people that are gonna use it, it’s gonna take in quite a bit for them
they know that we want to transfer our old Pokémon bad enough they the can make money off it.
How does Game Freak do it making over 600 Pokemon then, giving some Pokemon new forms and idea’s it must be hard to think about new idea’s
Pokemon Bank will have a free trial period 🙂
Look forward to a free trial period after the launch of Pokémon Bank. Be sure to try out the software for yourself during this time to see everything that Pokémon Bank has to offer!
this would be great
I think that if the price is reasonable that I will be getting it
funny that it is going to weed out the fake Pokémon since I bet their is a lot of them still floating around
Yeah, I imagine that it would. I’ll probably just get it the day I get the game and be done with it until October 2014 XD
I’m going to make a prediction. This “bond” that you have to have with your Pokemon to mega evolve has to do with Pokemon Amie. It was said that Amie had something to do with battling. Ding ding.
Aime does give you a better chance of critz, evasion, and healing from status condition’s.
I don’t think thats all though. Pokemon Amie just seems something would tie in to that.
But in the demo, Mewtwo mega evolves despite it not turning to the trainer at the start of the battle which would signify that it has the pokemon-amie bond with the trainer. Of course that was just a demo so the final game could be different.
…. that video. They touch the Mega Ring…
Xavier/Yvonne: ITS MORPHIN TIME!
YES!
YES YES!!
FAIL. I was thinking Drought was DrySkin…Wow, Charizard with Drought? Forget Dragon typing lol
Now I’ll also be able to transfer my Shiny Charizard and make it Mega Shiny Charizard!! :O
Shiny Mudkip!
Did you get it yet? 😀
April fools 🙁
Ohhh =/ In September ;(
Patience 😀
I have 38 days to find a shiny Mudkip! Time goes by really fast! Look how fast these months went by lol.
I can give ya a shiny Mudkip Jordin
As much as I would love to be lazy and accept your offer, I can’t : Wouldn’t it feel great to finally get one yourself after going through all that effort? Thank you for the offer but I’m going to have to decline 😐
Venusaur with Thick Fat…em yes please!
So then Venusaur’s weaknesses will only be Flying and Psychic…That’s awesome for a Grass type
Well… Mega Charizard has Drought. That kind of renders of it the same.
Also, I hate to say it but “the Mega Ring resonating with the Mega Stone” for Mega Evolution reminds me of the crest and tags to digivolve into Ultimates lol
Hahahha maybe the anime will have a cool mega evolution cut scene complete with epic music!
I don’t see this as a bad thing, as I would want it to be hard to mega evolve but not too hard to do it.
though lol at your comment since it is So true
This is insane!! So excited 😀 Though now that we get a Kanto starter I can’t take Fennekin as I want Charizard! I guess it depends how early in the game you get them…if it’s like half way through the game then I guess I could take Fennekin.
We probably going to get all the hoenn starters as well so got to pick from 3 most likely.
I dont know that we will be able to get all Hoenn starters since there’s the torchic event
Completely forgot about Torchic now…Gahhh Mega Blaziken or Mega Charizard! Can’t decide hahaha
I am getting both games so if you want to trade for one I will have an extra
Hehe thanks…I think I might have to give up megacharizard and go for megablastoise
cool I can breed you a charmander or restart one game to get all three that way I get mine and have some to trade
I don’t think you have to decide you can get both
I know but I don’t want to have two fire types on the team 😛 and worst part is they’re two of my fav starters.
now im pretty sure that all starters gonna take mega evolutions!
They are liable to be events like Blaziken, though. As in, we get the Starter Mega Evolutions when they GIVE us the Starter Mega Evolutions.
maybe after you beat it you can get totodile chikorita and cyndquil!!
or Piplup, Turtwig, Chimchar
Words cannot express how badly I want a MegaFeraligatr
On the pokemon x and y website it has a section that says Classic Partner Pokemon so maybe there will be more starters.
On that note.
In Pokémon X and Pokémon Y, it’s not Professor Sycamore who gives you your first Pokémon. Instead, when you receive a Pokémon from the professor, you’ll be able to choose from Bulbasaur, Charmander, and Squirtle! These Pokémon were the first three Pokémon you could start your adventure with in Pokémon Red Version and Pokémon Blue Version, released in North America in 1998, the very beginning of the Pokémon series! And now you’ll be able to include them in your party once again.
So that confirms pretty much, from a story perspective, Sycamore will have nothing to do with our Kalos Starters, and likely Pokedex, For what it’s worth.
do you think that we will get mega stones for the starters depending in what starter you choose?
It would make sense. I dunno if they will or not, but it seems likely enough.
it’s fair.
I was wondering if they would consider using battle points to buy Megastones. It seems like a good way to prove that a trainer is skilled enough to handle a Mega
interesting, it would be great!
im still pick froakie and charmander!!!
I’m leaning towards Chespin and Bulbasaur…Though I plan to get all 18 starters eventually
I’d hate to repeat types, but im picking Froakie and Squirtle
i’m going with chespin and squirtle, because we’ll get the torchic through distribution too!
1. they know how to make people feel old =( kids today will never understand the joyment (or headache depending how you look at it) of the link cables.2. pokemon bank 0_o dont know what say i am 50-50 on it but seeing as how i am late to white and might not get white 2 this could come in handy, shame the poke transfer only responds to gen v games, and poor spikey ear pichu every pokemon gets to go 3d except you, making you useless, no body loves you =(.3. mega evolutions its so weird i dont think anyone can deny there some digi in the idea of it but it might be cool once you get use to it i want that mega blastoise. 4. so that was blastoise(mega) in the back in that mystery title? guess that game might be real after all, here the pic case anybody wondering, to the far right in the back it looked like blastoise when i first saw it but different.
I had a link cable it was not the best thing to use.
Never actually got one, surprisingly enough. I did have a friend with one, but then that was my only real opportunity to trade, and not even that when he stopped playing Pokemon.
I don’t see Blastoise in that pic AT ALL
top right in the back, that blue balloon
Okay lets watch the video with whats her name is she wearing a bracelet? or any gym leader for that matter
Korinna seems to have a Mega Stone in her glove
thats what i also saw!
By the Way, Pokemon Bank is the last tab on the Official Site, so all the tabs are finally filled.
I’ve said yesterday that the ??? box will probably gonna be revealed in today’s Pokemon Direct!
A side note, am I the only person that’s gonna use generation VI Pokemon only, no matter how awesome some mega-evolutions are…?
Probably, in gen 5 it would make sense to do that since there were no non-Gen 5 Pokemon before you beat the game….but in this gen, non-Gen VI pokemon will be part of the game
I might just have a team with a differnt Pokemon from each generation.
I prefer to have my in-game team with Pokemon only from that generation, not region
My battle team will probably have one of each gen tho (maybe with a few Mega-Evo Pokemon)
ok im not the only one, as much as I love mega Blastoise, I only take Pokémon on their corresponding regions. But if there is plenty of things to do after the elite four, then I’ll defenately use my Squirtle
I do that with every new region. 😉
Who’s getting the 3ds Pokemon Consle because i’m not
I would if I didn’t already have a 3DS
Yea that’s thing with Nintendo and the hand helds
If I can get the money for it I will. As, I was going to sell my current 3DS to a cousin so he can get one at a cheaper price, and I will have some extra money towards a new XL.
I am! I have a regular 3ds but the 3ds xl is simply amazing, I was just waiting for an awesome edition for me to buy one and here it is!
What’s the differnce between the 3ds and xl?
one is larger
yes its simply larger but I really like it because not only is it simple to transfer everything from your old 3ds to the new one, but the screen is stunning it only adds up to the great graphics and 3d effect
I’m definitely gonna get this one. When I saw that it was gonna get released in Japan I was really hoping EU (and US) would be getting one as well. I already have a normal 3DS but I guess I can get the money in time to get this 3DS XL. I’m also glad that it comes out before the game comes out and not after.
I was able to get all 649 Pokemon of the prior gens through the help of online trades…It’ll be interesting to see how many (if any) of those are fake when I try to transfer them. Hopefully not too many, well hopefully none
At least if you restart a game on your in Pokemon X and Y you can have all your Pokemon if it works that way. Plus, you know someone’s gonna try to find a new app or something to make hacked Pokemon.
Of course they will. However, I’m thinking if there is an exploit, it will be something that Pokemon can readily fix by patching it, and then the exploit wouldn’t work anymore. At least there is one good thing about Pokemon Bank*well, several, but primarily* WE CAN TRANSFER OUR POKEMON WITHOUT HAVING ACCESS TO ANOTHER DS. YAY.
Thank You nintendo you saved me money.
By making you spend five bucks XD. But Five bucks if FAR preferable to over 100 bucks.
It really is but, what they should’ve done in the video is told the price but they might not have the price so only time will tell. Best we can do is try to find out.
Well, the price in Japan IS 500 Yen, so it should be about the same for us. PLUS, there is supposed to be a free trial til January. So yay for that too. ON TOP OF THAT, this almost certainly means we won’t have a padding mini game to play to transfer Pokemon finally! Just upload to the box, and be done with it.
I heartily agree! Borrowing someone else’s DS to make all your pokeransfers can get quite tiring!
I had to do it with online people…300+ pokemon, it was SO annoying
I hope the shiny Meinshao I got isn’t fake. It’s my main team member. I got it at level 40 (or something near it) so I assumed it was legit. 🙁
I wonder if the Pokemon Bank is the only thing we can download hmm…..?
Pokemon Bank is going to be 500 Yen ($ 5) a year in Japan. No US price announced. Goes on sale Dec 25th, free trial lasts until Jan 31st.
Free trial? Thank god. -.-
going to transfer all my main pokes and get them out and the never use poke bank again!!! mwuahahahah
They mentioned that the amount of Pokemon you can store in-game is limited…so good luck with that
This game will be much easier with all the trading feature’s which I think is a good thing because now I might complete my Pokedex for the first time.
Anybody else happy that there not changing the tpe of the first gen starters.
I am ecstatic! i think with mega evo’s that retyping them would of messed up things
The only type change I could see is Charizard getting fire dragon and that’s it.
Well, they could have retyped them for the Mega Evolutions… Also, it is worth noting that making Mega Charizard Fire/Dragon would NOT help against Stealth Rock, it would already be in the fight… But, who knows, if Fairy Types are strong enough, Charizard being fire without worrying about strong neutral hits could be a blessing.
You’d think that with THREE guns, Blastoise might get a secondary steel typing…
Yea, I wish Blastoise would’ve gotten a secondary typing but whatevs…
I mean Empoleon has no guns and it’s half steel. #notonegun
Didn’t think of that.
When I heard DLC my heart was racing, so Pokémon Bank was a bit of a bummer, but I love hearing I’ll get to keep my old favourites!!
Has it been revealed who that old dude talking about Mega Evolutions is? If it has, I can’t believe I missed it. >.<
What’s up with the female Magnezone? XD
Magnezone can have gender’s?
I didn’t realize that. That’s weird….Why would they be gendered all of a sudden??
This sucks I hope that there is a free trail now I’ll have to get a deput card just for pokemon
ok this should keep things interesting until corocoro comes out late this week into next week
I’m most excited about MegaVenusaur only having two weaknesses….I mean a grass type with only two weaknesses…CRAZZZZZY
But I wonder if that is a better option than chlorophyll…
Well, with the increased Defense and Special Defense, that means Mega Venusaur could probably do some epic Sub Stalling, leech seeding and other things like that.
That is true, I didn’t know what boosts in stats Venusaur got, so thanks for the info =)
Chlorophyll only works in a pinch anyway, so it will be good for those people who don’t let their Pokémon get too beat up.
I think MegaVenasaur will make a good bulky grass, specializing in countering rain parties. Leech Seed and Sleep Powder =)
Very true, and we do need plenty of rain counters since rain teams are extremely powerfull XD
DUDE, THAT MEGA CHARIZARD and MEGA BLASTOISE LOOOOOOK AMAAAAZEBALLS.
MY BODY IS MELTING.
I CAN’T COPE. I CAN’T. TAKE MY COINS AND PANTS MASUDA
Female Mangezone???

… Get Equipped with Gender? That IS weird.
why gamefreak why, it would be better to give Typhlosion drought, but if you make it fire/electric with levitate its good for me. Its a pitty charizard looks now more dragon to me then before.
Typhlosion having Levitate would make NO sense….unless his mega form is a floating body
He wants Typhlosion to be better than Charizard. Also why the Fire/Electric.
In the Direct the guy said every Pokemon gets a Mega Form misspoken or truth. Because if that’s the truth this game will be Krazy.
Mega Charizard has drought as an ability which is beyond wicked. Best games ever IDGAF
With Pokémon Bank, you can deposit and withdraw Pokémon from different copies of Pokémon X and Pokémon Y. All you have to do is download Pokémon Bank on your Nintendo 3DS system, insert your Pokémon X or Pokémon Y Game Card, and open the Pokémon Bankapplication. Pokémon Bank also works with downloadable versions of Pokémon X andPokémon Y. If you’re working with multiple copies of the games, Pokémon Bank makes it easy to gather your Pokémon in one place!
If that means what I think it means, you can totally restart your Pokemon X and Y games if you want, and not have to worry about losing all your Pokemon. Just upload them, and you can access them later.
This has been my dream for ages! I am so excited for this service.
It’ll make restarting for Pokemon easier, being able to upload them, restart, and then get another starter, upload it, and then bam. All three starters.
It’s basically encouraging us to farm starters by restarting!
No…new…Pokemon? RAAAAGE-Wait, Mega Charizard is real now? A’ight, cool. Cool.
Since the kanto starters are getting evolution’s will ash finally evolve his bulbasar and squirtle all the way.
At least temporarily, I am willing to bet. Ash has some decision-making problems.
True Dat.
What if GameFreak makes a MegaPikachu (instead of MegaRaichu) just so Ash can show MegaEvolution
They have conveniently had his Charizard come back and become part of his main team again.
Wouldn’t it make sense to give all starters from gen 1 to gen 5? They gave Kanto starters one and blaziken so why not?
I’m PRETTY certain all starters will have MegaEvos…I mean 4/15 (or about 1/4) have already been confirmed….I just hope we have a way to OBTAIN all the starters in-game
There time will come.
That would be the fair thing to do since each starter has it’s fans, some fewer than others but each one is symbolic to some. I hope 6 geb starters get mega evos too.
I hope not then because that will just be my team lol.
Well everyone, it appears that we have to wait only one more week until we get new Pokemon and Megalutions from Corocoro. Tick-tock…
its a pitty, mega blastoise should become water/steel and charizard fire/dragon, the triangle would be perfect with mega venusaurs new thick fat
Oh my Arceus! We can transfer! YES!
Question do any of you watch people on youtube who just do stuff a bout Pokemon.
nappy and nexus numb
Did they make any videos about today’s news yet.
not yet i tweeted nappy though!!
That’s funny because the one’s I watch already released reaction and analysis videos.
It’s only $200 dollars for the pokemon 3ds xl hope the game is pre installed.
it cant since it comes out on the 27th
True hope who ever buys gets a voucher to get the game or half on the game or something.
hope that other monotype starters will get a second type, its a pitty , blastoise maga forme screams for water/steel… and charizard screams for fire/dragon.
I know how people want Charizard to fire dragon but will it gain any boost from that.
Well, the main boost would be that it would lose it’s water weakness, plus it’s electric weakness, and on top of that be resistant to it as well, NOT be 4x weak to Rock, and regardless of Fairy, would still have an extremely powerful element for STAB, and if Fairy is immune to Dragon, it could still easily hurt with fire, while taking neutral damage *fire and flying renders it not ver effective though* It would lose immunity to Ground, however… Theoretically you could have just slapped levitate on it, but Drought is a far more interesting option. But, it’s still Fire/Flying, so that’s the way it is.
or atleast a very good abylitie, but I would rather hope for both
I think I am gonna monotype run through the game. Mega Charizard, Mega Blaziken, Mega Fennekin final evo, litleo final evo, Mega Houndoom (I hope so) and the last pokemon as a surprise!
Imma take a nap see you guys later.
If the XL comes out Sept. 27, do you get a download code?
Sadly I don’t think the console will come with virtual copies of the games :/
I’m going to have to look through it more later. I just watched the new trailer.
I really hope we atleast get a discount on the virtual copy, so I can hav both versions at a reasonabe price ha
guys there was a new pokemon shown in the triler venusuar battles it its either a baby absol or a swirlix evo!
its neither. its just a new Lama pokemon
That new pokemon looks like something seem in a brief shot of the x and y anime trailer (I’m trying to find it now)
Here it its!
