Featured Thread: You are now a gym leader by butsukoy
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!
