SHOCKING NEWS: Smash Special on 15/09

Pokémon Smash has revealed that Junichi Masuda will appear on the show on the 15th of this month. The episode will be a special one named XY Institute Special, and will showcase some more Mega Evolutions. We will be covering the episode live. Most stuff will probably already be revealed in Corocoro, which is due to leak in a few days, most likely the beginning of next week.

Update: Wes pointed out that Masuda-san will also be on stage to talk about the XY Anime. Which is actually less shocking and more interesting news. Remember, the anime will  begin airing October 17th, the week after the games get released.

I think this truly deserves the Shocking News title, nobody would have thought Smash was doing a special! Keep checking back for more possible news and opinions on Pokémon XY. In the meantime, discuss what they could possible reveal in the comments! (but don’t spam ok, or else i’ll be sad 🙁 )

  1. I’d prefer more new, original Pokemon as opposed to Megas. Don’t get me wrong, I love the concept but, there is such as thing as having too much of a good thing.

  2. to be honest im kind of gettin reaaaalll tired of this whole mega evo thing.at first i didnt really mind it but now this is just getting groan worthy

  3. Given that it’s Smash, I don’t think they’ll be bringing anything new to the table. I reckon it’l be the reveal of the Kanto starter Megaevolutions.

  4. I thought he was supposed to appear on the episode tomorrow. Oh well.

    I really want a mega evolution for Dewgong; it would be the perfect way to get a narwal pokemon.

  5. Come on guys, sarcasm is Dae’s second language
    Hmm….might stay up for it…but more excitited for Corocoro (which always reminds me of the Woobat line cause the Jap names are Koromori and Kokormori)

  6. My pride and joy Rhyperior NEEDS to get a Megalution; If i can master the awesome powers of a Mega Rhyperior then I will truly become a Ground-type Master!!!

    Plus I hope the new Traveling partners get interesting personalities and back stories
    and hopefully some info on the starters

  7. I’ll be pleased if CoroCoro focuses more on a handful of new pokemon and some gym leaders, and Smash presents some mega evolutions (but we all know 90% of the time they just regurgitate CoroCoro’s info, so it’s not likely xD).

    Reply
      • At the least it would give us something of an idea for what the second stage actually is. But that would be rather trollish, I think I could say just about everyone would really want to know their real evolutions and not their battle super forms.

        Reply
  8. Part of me really wants corocoro to be leaked as early in the week as possible but I also really want it to be leaked on wednesday so I can wake up to a bunch of news and have an awesome birthday :3 Yeah I kind of doubt smash is going to reveal anything new at all…who really knows though

  9. I can’t wait to hear what Junichi Masuda has to say about the XY anime,I hope he talks about Ash’s companions or maybe even Pokemon he might bring along, like when he brought Aipom to sinnoh. If it had to be any Pokemon it would have to be Charizard (even though I was hoping Oshawott would stick around, I’ve still got my fingers crossed so there’s still hope!) to tie in with MegaEvolution + I’m curious if Alexa will continue to travel with Ash.

    Reply
    • I’m hoping he doesn’t catch Fenniken for two reasons:

      1. We don’t need another tragic backstory of how his fire starter was abused and released by its original owner. Three times (albeit not in a row) is really pushing it!

      2. It might evolve and become Fire/Psychic. Steel and Psychic are the two types I NEVER want to see Ash use! They’re too good for him. However, I’m ok with his using Steel and Psychic type moves.

      Reply
    • I think the XY anime is gonna be more serious and sort of dark cause Kalos is a big region and it gonna be more competitive than the Unova region was. As far as pokemon, i think Ash gonna just have Pikachu for XY. Its a possibility he will bring Scraggy cause I wanna see its full potential. Ash is gonna realize his purpose of becoming Pokemon master in the XY anime.

  10. pokemon amie strengthens the bond between trainer and pokemon

    team flare is sort of like team magmas metamorphis the y plan to use the legendaries to blow a giant hole in the earth to mine gems and be rich

    that train leads to the hoenn region but you can only go to the battle frontier

    the event legendary is a squirrel who wears a winged helmet

    the starters final evolutions is fire and ghost grass and rock water and fighting more information coming soon

    Reply
  11. When is CoroCoro coming out in Japan? Are they releasing it earlier on the 12th again, or has it gone back to coming out on the 15th.

    I’d like to know just so I can gage when the leaks will be here.

    Also, hoping for an Fire/Ice type. Thanks for any answers.

    Reply
  12. have people heard about the rumors from dookie about having a potato chip pokemon and a sushie roll pokemon, as well as another eveelution

    Reply
  13. I honestly don’t think the Mega Evolutions portion will be anything to get excited about. After at the stuff that Smash has covered recently, they’re probably just going to talk about what we already know from corocoro, website updates, & the Nintendo Directs

    Reply
  14. Man . next week cant come any sooner. corocoro leaks AND this?

    MY BODY IS READY.
    (N I cant wait till they show mega sceptile and swampert)

    Reply
  15. It is pretty surprising. Maybe they will showcase the Type Chart including Fairy type. Isn’t the type chart supposed to be in the next Coro Coro? That’s what i have been hearing anyways.

    Reply
  16. Wow it us took one ONE DAY to completely scarf down every piece of information given in a Pokemon DIrect until there isn’t a single crumb left. We’re like vultures waiting for any scrap of leftover pokemon information to dissect and dissolve. Oh man at this pace, we’re so hungry that Corocoro will be digested in a matter of 2 days and then we’ll have an entire month with nothing to talk about.

    I love being a pokemon fan!

    Reply
  17. My top 10 questions I want answered by that time:

    1. Can you switch out a Mega Evolved Pokémon?
    2. Will Mega Sableye finally be confirmed?
    3. Will Lunatone/Solrock get mega evolutions/traditional evolutions (why is no one talking about these guys)?
    4. Is Sylveon going to be the only cross-gen evolution (that would be sad)?
    5. What new Pokéballs will be introduced, if any?
    6. Will there finally be a Dragon/Bug Pokémon?
    7. Will there still be eight gyms and four elite four members?
    8. Will there finally be a Poison Legendary?
    9. Will there finally be a Dark type gym?
    10. Can we just get the updated type effectiveness chart already?

  18. Wasn’t something supposed to happen today, pokemon-wise? I could have sworn I read somewhere that something was happening on the sixth. (Today)

      • whats so bad about it. I like that sound.

        *thud* *thud* *thud*. Btw. anyone remebr on gen3 when you stand still on a route for a loooong time. you hear pokemon cries. I bet it was dead mons

        Reply
        • Oh man I do! I thought I was hearing things my entire life! Also, I don’t like the thud sounds because it makes the Pokémon Universe seem a bit unrealistic. Granted they are a videogame series, but still.

          Reply
      • I like it because then I can blindly bike up and down or left and right when hatching a ton of pokemon eggs without having to make my eyes bleed staring at the screen for 10 hours.

        Reply
          • Yeah same, I sometimes don’t realize I’m running into a wall, and THAT is far more annoying than a large THUMP sound, because then that’s time wasted.

        • I prefer biking from on city to the other with a Flame Body/Magma Armor Pokémon in the front of the party. In Black 2 and White 2, I just hatch the eggs in Join Avenue at the Nursery.

          Reply
          • You can only do that so many times a day, and when you are hatching dozens of eggs, if not hundreds in a day, it’s completely inadequate. Plus, there is a good spot on the Daycare route for just going back and forth, that’s the one I use anyways, and it keeps you in a good position to get eggs and remove hatched ones very fast.

  19. WOWW…Will there be any link where we can watch it live straming??
    Now about the Mega Evolution.
    I think that all the starters will have one. As this happens I would like for some of them to change or recieve a new secondary type, when changed to their Mega Form.
    -Meganium-Grass/Fairy
    -Typhlosion-Fire/Dark or just Fire
    -Feraligatr-Water/Dark or Water/Fighting-being based in some fanarts
    -Sceptile-Grass/Poison or Grass/Fighting
    -Torterra-Grass/Rock
    -Serperior-Grass/Dragon
    -Samurott-Water/Fighting

    The only one that I really do hope is SERPERIOR-GRASS/DRAGON-perfect…

    • Serperior- Grass/Electric
      Emboar- Fire/Fighting

  20. What if GF introduced Mega Evolutions so the trainer can have a chance at defeating/catching “The Original Dragon/Perfect Kyurem”?

    If Black/White Kyurem’s BST is 700, just imagine how high it’s BST would be if it was complete; >750 maybe.

      • They do, but it won’t be via Smash. Everyone always gets excited for Smash episodes. If tomorrow’s ep shows the Kanto Megas, then next week will be a rehash of CoroCoro.

        Regardless of what they show, I highly doubt there is going to be any info that we hadn’t seen prior (except tiny battle gameplay bits)

  23. This are the things that would make me die in piece:
    Starter megas
    A new Pokemon that resembles a wolf ice/dark and its mega turns into a pure dark werewolf
    New FUN mini games like soulsilvers and heargold.
    A interesting story that makes you say “wow!”
    A fairy/dragon that looks really cute.

    Reply
  28. Honestly I hope they reveal nothing, no new pokemon until the game is actually released. Why cant it be like it was with Red and Blue and leave everything up to surprise. It makes the game that much more interesting and fun when you don’t know all the information before hand. So here is hoping for nothing!
