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!
