Recap of the week
After almost a week of server issues, we’re back! And hopefully better than ever. As you were all hopefully aware we were using a specially created PokéJungle tumblr in order to deliver you news as quick as possible, and despite having to use a different platform we still got you news faster than other sites! Now that we’re back at our usual home we thought we’d give our readers a recap of what’s happened in the Pokémon World of the last week…
Special Broadcasts & Announcements
- The Pokémon Company announced that on Monday 16 September they have a surprise announcement for Pokémon fans. It seems as though it’s related to the accidental trailer uploaded to the Official Pokémon YouTube channel earlier this week, advertising the website GottaCatchEmAll.com
- Pokémon Smash will finish at the end of September. The show will resume airing again under the new name of Pokémon Get☆TV on October 6, and will feature the return of some fan favourite hosts, as well as some new but familiar faces!
- Pokémon: The Origin will broadcast in Japan on October 2 at 7pm and will run for approximately an hour and 50 minutes, if possible we will provide a live stream of the special broadcast, stay tuned!
- On September 23 a special broadcast will be made in Japan focusing on the Pokémon X & Y games, XY anime and Pokémon: The Origin. Stay tuned for more details on our coverage of this!
Pokémon Smash X & Y Special
Yesterday we covered the Special XY Episode of Pokémon Smash, for our brief write-up, please click HERE!
Official Pokémon Site Update
The official update with new information about some of the Pokémon revealed in the recent CoroCoro leak! First, the starter evolutions:
- Quilladin is the evolution of Chespin “When Chespin evolves into Quilladin, the hard spikes on its body grow even sturdier. Despite its prickly appearance, Quilladin is considered a gentle Pokémon that avoids battle.”
- Braixen is the evolution of Fennekin “Once Fennekin evolves into Braixen, it no longer eats branches. But it still keeps a tree branch in its tail, which seems to calm the Pokémon.”
- Frogadier is the evolution of Froakie “Frogadier evolves from Froakie, and when it does, its jumping skill improves. During battle, Frogadier confounds its opponents by leaping about the ceiling or into trees.”
Next, some of the others who were revealed!
- Furfrou is the mysterious white dog from earlier this month. Its hair can be styled
- Meowstic, just as Beach’s leaker said
- Tyrunt is the mini t-rex. It has the Strong Jaw ability
- Amaura is the Rock/Ice fossil Pokémon. It has the Refridgerate ability
- Pyroar has distinct gender differences
In addition, a NEW feature has been revealed!
- Trainer PR Videos allow you to make 10-second clips of you and your Pokémon!

I slept in for too long this morning, so you could say that I was not on Tim-burr….NO.
We’re not doing that again. I have better things to do 😛
What could it evolve into
What is “it”?
Refresh~
Got it after I said it 😛
Chespins evo
Not that question mark, that’s for sure
Welllll u know GF…anythings possible. Heck they gave us trubbish hahaha
Haha imagine a punctuation Pokémon! Oh, we have ? Unown and ! Unown….
–Please delete–
All I need is a “.” Pokemon and my sentences are complete.
We have one. Chimecho.
I noticed that since that New York is more urban means we will get Ice Cream, trash, etc. So they didn’t just randomly make a trash bag…
Im calling a Croissant Pokemon! That or a baguette hahaha
It’s possible but I would hate to see all the hate because hardly any hate has been said about X & Y! Only 30+ Pokemon left to be revealed..
O_o more like 80-100 more…only 38 have been revealed so far…
I’d say anywhere between 90-120 would be optimal granted the new megaultions as well as the gen V 155 pokemon reboot.
Mega Evolutions are more like forms so I think they don’t count.
They do not count, but generally, they add the feel of new additions, and thus, satiate the fanbase need for a huge amount of new pokemon.
Only in 27 days we will find out. 😀
It will be so hard to keep my laptop away as I am discovering new pokemon!!! I need to lock this thing away for a few days.
It doesn’t look like a full cocoon, imagine it evolving into just a BIG cocoon…. that would be horrible…
I think that this is Chespins cocoon form and then when it evolves it will be like a butterfly (not literally)
grass and bug?
#plottwist
I do too, it just doesn’t look like a full cocoon stage, like how Shelgon and Pupitar do :p
Well it’s supposed to be based on a chestnut. When you plant nuts they grow into stuff, don’t they? I don’t know about chestnuts though…
Another thing I thought of when I saw Quilladin, what does it’s evolution look like? When I first heard of the Chespin/Knight rumour, I thought of a tall knight with a sword and shield, but the problem is, how are they gonna keep the chesnut theme going? A chesnut armour?
Or maybe a Grass/Steel, fat and round kinda knight, Steel and high Defence, a sturdy sorta Pokemon would be logical
I’d love a grass/steel starter. It could really use the favorable type matchup!
Why do I love Chespin’s evo, more and more, after watching that video? With that horned helmet especially it is a great combo of cute and lethal!
I feel like this kind of patience for something so bad to evolve into something so good should be saved for cocoon middle stage pesudo legendaries, not starters.
I CAN WAIT!! (in a desperate voice)
Oh thank Arceus! Soooo sooo glad to see the site up and running again 😀
Where were you this week? I didn’t see you on tumblr :/ Anyways, WELCOME BACK HOME!! 😀
Hahaha THANKS!! 😀 and i was on a few times but tumblr was a bit shaky for me and the page kept disorting. So glad to have the full site back.
Which do you prefer, male or female Meowstic?
Male
male looks cooler with the style of the tails
Female. It’s stronger too!
I am all for the female as well. It looks more like a sinister mutated cat. Overall, it has a more eerie aesthetic, and it suits the motif well. Not so say I don’t like the male form as well.
I them both but the female looks better and its ear/eyes <3
I like the female but I want to see both of their movesets
Wait, so is meowstick like nidoran? I’m only saying this because nidoran male and nidoran female learned different moves, much like meowstick’s different genders do. Do you think they will have different evolutions? oh, and male.
That’s what I thought! Probably different evolutions, like Nidoking and Nidoqueen :p
That would be so awesome if they do that again!
Going by the pokebeach rumour these are the evolved forms… espurr evolves into meowstic 🙁
It looks so….. small.. and young…
It looks small, not young. From the animation, their cross-sensory abilities seem highly complex. Full-grown domestic cats shouldn’t evolve into a large predatory cat species.
It’s almost twice the size of meowth. But yeah i think it looks more basic than 1st stage.
Im reserving judgement til i see the full stats and move sets since it really depends on which one fulfills their role better. Female may be more offensive but might not have the stats or moves to make is usable where as male could have an amazing support move pool with great defenses making it a better option.
Female looks mysterious with her eyes, male looks innocent.
I go with female.
Male even though I like offensive Pokemon. I just hope the male learns extrasensory at some point like it’s female counterpart. And yes, I know they’re going to have different move pools, doesn’t mean they might learn one or two of the same moves.
I like the male design-wise, but I like the female’s beret. Battle-wise I prefer the female because I’m an attacker, not a defender.
I swear, If the announcement is just the pokerap It will be so disappointing. Like, how is that even an announcement?
The Pokerap is to promote GottaCatchEmAll.com
anyone think that all starters will get mega-evolutions?
It would certainly change the way we view starters, that’s for sure.
its a good possibility. it doesn’t make sense not to when they gave all the kanto starters mega evolutions
I hope so. If not ill have a OCD breakdown.
It would be unfair wouldn’t? I say they’re all going to get one because starters are usually the one you bond with the most!
Maybe not in Kalos, but eventually, yes.
Speed boost Blaziken is already in uber class. He definately did not get the short end
i just think that it’s weid nobody pointed it out!
I don’t see what the problem is with quilladin. I think its gonna be pretty awesome.
especially when it evolves 🙂
Good things come to those who wait. 😉
I think it will lose its shell in the final stage, because that would follow the Shelgon and Pupitar evolution trend.
steel thorn rapiers
for some reason the name makes me think of genies, mostly cause of aladin, but it should look cool
Did we all forget that Pupitar, a heavy shell, evolves into the cool and dark type Tyranitar. And how Bagon evolves into a big shell (shellgon) before becoming the voluptuous Salamence?
Quilladin will break out of his shell and evolve into a dark type bigger chespin, I can see it.
Mr. Mime better be available in Kalos…
aren’t there supposed to be like 700 pokemon in kalos
More than 700 in the national dex… not regional…
so around 130 new kalos pokemon plus the older pokemon from other generations then
That’s what I’m hoping for!
same here. I want to be able to see a large number of new pokemon and old pokemon as I play the game (not like how its been in the past where a lot of the old pokemon are saved for places accessible after beating the elite four)
Remember, at least three of them will be Mythical Pokémon.
true. I really hope we get a lot of new pokemon though. and new evolutions of old pokemon
It would make no sense if they didn’t being France the inspiration for Kalos. Considering how much sense they are making this generation with the new battle effects I think it’s pretty safe to say they will.
My point exactly. It would make no sense. That’s why it BETTER be in Kalos ^^
Mega Mr. Mime with four hands!
Mrs. Mime or Mime Sr.
I would prefer an evolution but it seems like we won’t be getting any other than Sylveon – who really knows at this point?
~Delia’s maid since 1997~
HAHA I see what you did there
anyone seen smosh games and the warp zone be idiots and trying to discuss pokemon news without getting up to spped
My first time commenting here. I have to say Pokejungle is the best website there is!
Who is your most favorite staff member?
DAE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WELCOME!! 😀 Won’t answer, don’t want to hurt feelings ;D
Hmmmmmmm…
Who could it be?
Maybe…
Moving, NLque and Dae are tied for first!
Bonjour
I think PJ SHOULD be the answer, because we would have pokejungle if it wasn’t for him 😉
*wouldn’t
I’m still wondering about what move Mega Mewtwo X used in the Pokemon Smash!
Giga Impact.
Hmm. It changed a lot then!
Or maybe moves are just adapting to look a certain way based on the Pokémon’s type… that’s what I think :p
Kind of like how Flare Blitz looked different when Blaziken and Charizard used it?
Have we see Flare Blitz?
It was shown to be used when Mega Blaziken and Mega Charizard were shown. They had different animations though.
It was Blast Burn. It looked the same.
and i’m pretty sure blaziken was using overheat
I think your right! My mistake! MCharizard was using Blast Burn and Mega Blaziken was using Overheat or something close to that!
I don’t think that was flare blitz
Mega Charizard used Blast Burn and I’m guessing Mega Blaziken used something else, I’d say Overheat.
Oh, sorry. I always get Flare Blitz and Blast Burn mixed up. >.<
You can shun me now.
It was Overheat!
don’t worry there will be no shunning. remember we all thought the water pulse animation a initially bubblebeam
I was confused with that too but as Quillaladin pointed out it’s Blast Burn and Overheat.
Yeah i thought that too but i do believe that is what it said it was.
I’ll say it again; it’s psy’kick’!
oh now I see what you did there
😀
I’ve made Pre-released Pokemon Math:
Gen 3:
38 / 135
%28.1
Gen 4:
31 / 107
%28.9
Gen 5:
56 / 156
%35.8
Gen 6:
37 / —
?
Do you think more will be revealed before the release?
Based on this, no 🙁 Maybe 5 or 10 more at the most 🙁
I would say even fewer. Maybe 5 at the most, not including the nov. Corocoro.
Maybe a few more but unless someone leaks the Pokedex I don’t see it happening. They want us to experience the game ourselves. It’s definitely working for me I’m even more excited to see what Pokemon I find!
Im guessing were gonna have between 100-120 new pokemon this gen so i doubt they will reveal too much more…perhaps one or 2 new mega evolutions and maybe 2 or 3 new pokemon. Im wondering if they might reveal Helioptile’s evolved form in a similar way to Pyroar since its speculated they might be paired.
I don’t really want them to be version exclusives at all, so I’m hoping that they’re not! 😀
They can be some sort of parallel Pokemon but not version exclusive.
You called me mad, you called me insane but… I’ve told you!
Oh, no… what?! (Please don’t say refresh)
Refresh the page 😛
NOOOOO!!!!! D:
Not according to moving! Yay my name was in there ^^
Good cop, bad cop.
My world is now going in circles!
Dot dot dot
moving says: (refresh)
What clothes do you guys want to see I would like to see a hoodie
Chespin hat!
Chespin hoodie
FINN HAT 😀
Leather Motorcycle Jacket!!!
Fennekin ear muffs :3
Yes!!!!
Yes! Yes, yes, yes, yes, YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!
NO! … Braixen ear muffs XD
YESS THIS TOO.
I’m fine as long as I get my Navy Cargo Pants, Gray jacket and blue tee-shirt with frame-less glasses lol Oh and a red hat.
Is that what you normally wear?
Sometimes, but I wear a lot of cloths lol
Somewhat after seeing the InFamous Second Son trailer, I actually want something based off Delsen’s cloths lol. I honestly think a chain hanging from the side would look cool lol.
I honestly don’t care as long as I can have my lime green t-shirt and cargo pants. ^-^
Team Rocket outfit! I’d quite like to wear jeans though too
Hmm lets see we know about there 2nd evos but what will there final evos
will look like anybody got any ideas what there final evos will look
like?
A witch, a fat knight, and a ninja that likes to throw rocks/boulders :3
I think a Wizard/Witch/Warlock, Charging Paladin, and a Master Ninja. Type wise I think it will be one of the 2: Fire/Psychic, Grass/Dark, Water/ Fighting OR Fire/Fairy, Grass/Steel, and Water/Fighting. Either way I love the starters lol.
Hmm i wonder from From gens 1-6 what is starters are base On?
Then go to bulbapedia
Frogadier with darker blue and light blue highlights, larger, cloud bandanna.
Braixen with a witch’s hat, longer legs, and a true magical wand, and an orange color scheme.
Quilladin with a slim body and a broken shell, using one of its pieces as a sword. It could look like a tall and skinny Excadrill.
Chespin: knight
Fennekin: witch/wizard
Froakie: ninja/theif/rogue/fighter
They are all based off classic rpg classes. Cheap in is a knight/paladin (grass/steel probably, or maybe a grass/dark dark knight), fennekin is a Mage (obviously fire/psychic) and froakie is like a theif/rogue/fighter class (water/fighting or water/dark)
So Im not sure if anyone else realized this or not, but Mega Pokemon are gonna be Kalos exclusives. While the mega stones are regular items that will be transferable, the key stone and that wristband thing are def gonna be key items. So unless they change the me mechanic in future gens, mega evolution will be a Kalos-only mechanic
That’s what I said! but no one believed me….
I believed you because I thought the same thing 😀
Oh ok! That makes me happy :p
… So? Fossils used to be Key Items, but they changed that. Are they going to prevent us from having Black and White Kyurem now, because that was a Key Item in BW2. Also Deoxys only changed forms based on it’s region in the past, but they added in the meteors so you could change it. Plus, if they do a RS Remake/Sequel this generation, are Mega Evolutions not going to be compatible with it? Despite being in the same generation, and AFTER the introduction of Mega Evolutions? If they want to keep them, they’ll keep them, just give us the key items in the LATER games too.
Im sure they will put it in ALL future games.. like no guessing. Its pretty much a Fact
I wonder if the DNA Splicers will come back. Since Pokétransferring has been confirmed between Gen V and Gen VI, people can transfer the Tao Trio into X and Y.
If you remember, back when mega evolution was first announced, the official site says it’s exclusive to the kalos region
well its more of the big secret in kalos meaning that its just starting out in kalos so we can expect to see more megas in future games
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=66AMO7TndLc&feature=player_detailpage
Do you guys think the anime art style has once again changed? Lookes closer tot he movies to me but it is too short to really tell.. I hope so though cause that’s what I was asking for
Am I supposed to refresh when I see that code at the top?
Yes.
FLOATING SWIRLIX!
It does remind me of the movies :p
Oh It’s just a Youtube link…you know, you could just copy and paste that instead 😛
…. obviously I didn’t know how to, you can if you want…
Sorry, that was a smartass comment from me. Disregard it.
Kk =]
Which design do you guys think suits Furfrou best?
http://www.serebii.net/xy/furfrou1.png
My favorite color is blue and I like the stars better so I’d say the stars.
I heart the third one.
I see what you did there
But the second one is gonna be a star in battles. 😉
I think the 1st one shines bright like a diamond…hate that song ( -_-)
None :p I like its Shaggy look :p
I should have added the option!
The blue one!
EDIT: I sound like a three-year-old.
I like the original appearance, but they said the more you groom it, the more styles you unlock, so maybe my opinion will change in the future. Its blue nose is a bit weird though…
The blue one
Im hopping to get a list of megaevolution because i dont want to know it by myself!!! And im hopping to see the final pokemon starters ‘s evo!! I love the chespin’eco but fennekin and froakie got bad evo!! Fennekinlooks like a wizard and frogadier looks different than froakie
We will most likely get that when the games release. (Or if the Pokedex is leaked)
I hope i’m not sounding mean but aren’t the evolutions suppose to look different than the original
The thing that gets me is that with the other announcement for direct and even smash they have dedicated them to X and Y this one has not be dedicated yet
Yay, the site’s back up! 😀 I’m so excited for these games, but I think I’ve said that already, probably way too much :3
I’m hoping we get the classic RPG trio with the starters, a Knight/warrior, a Wizard, and a Rouge/Theif 🙂
Only 26 days, 10 hours, and 2 minutes to go! 😀
😀
Look at the one in the middle could we finally have a female evil team leader
I don;t think GF would give away the Villianous Team Leader this early, unless it’s someone we already know.
It’s probably just one of the admins. (I haven’t memorized the names yet) They are scientists though so it makes since that they would occasionally wear lab coats instead of their usual attire.
No, none of the admins we have seen has that hair. Plus, the remaining ones all have visors, and this one has glasses, and the only ones that have glasses otherwise are regular members *which she doesn’t match* the green haired girl, and then Xerosic.
OMG!!! I WANT THAT LADY TO BATTLE ME.
You’ve got a point, but I still don’t think GF would give away the leader just yet.
That was nice work making that Tumblr. It was pretty close to the original layout too. I think we all appreciate the work you guys do. It’s a great site.
