[UPD1] A few new pictures added
The evolution for the recently revealed Pokémon Amaura has been leaked by the website Jeux Video. Its name is Aurorus and has a new attack called Freeze-Dry which is super effective against Water-type Pokémon and may freeze opponents! Update: IGN has now released some pictures of Tyrantrum, Tyrunt’s evolution. It can learn Head Smash.

Trivia
Amaura and its evolution are both probably based on Amargasaurus. The artist of the above picture has depicted it with skin sails similar to the two Pokémon, but recent theories speculate that the rows of spikes probably stood on their own without any connecting tissue.

The german names are revealed. Amagarga is really a … bad choice. Monargoras is cool, though.
Lady Garga? :p
Gargamel?
How is it a bad choice? Aurorus is based of an Amargasaurus.
Well, Amargasaurus isn’t the best base for a name, as it got this much A’s, but itself is ok. But Amagarga? It just sounds like someone who doesn’t know the songtext from Lion King’s background chorus…
So a recent scan about the X/Y Anime confirms:
-Jessie’s Wobbufett returns
-Clemont also has a Bunnelby,and will battle Ash.
-Ash receives the Pokedex from the female professor.
-Mega Blaziken saves Ash from falling off the tower at night.
Yay wobbufett!
Maybe a mega evolution for him?
Clemont has a Bunnelby?
Yep, you can see it in the lower center image.
What’s the source? Or where can I find the scan?
I don’t know the exact source, it was on tumblr where I found this.
Dengeki Magazine.
That’s weird that he has a Bunnelby. :/ I guess even gym leaders can catch what they want, but then why do they bother with type preferences…?
Maybe gyms should focus on tactics or stats instead of just types. That would be cool.
It’s happened before. A LOT, actually. Look at Brock, he had a Vulpix, Zubat, Croagunk, Mudkip, Pineco, Lombre, and Happiny. Misty had Togepi, though admittedly that was a special case with the imprinting. Cilan has Crustle and Stunfisk. Iris has Emolga and Excadrill.
crustle is bug/rock
That’s the point. Cilan’s supposed to be Grass, sort of.
whoops… i was thinking of burgh… my brain is tired from getting up for highschool…
could that be May’s Blaziken?
-22 days
I’m choosing the boy.
I’m choosing the Tan Male. ;D
I love the tan Male He looks better
I can’t decide on tan or not. My skins a bit darker than most (I’m Hispanic), but it’s not dark enough to be considered dark. Gah, I wish there were more options, but beggars can’t be choosers!
I’m choosing the boy in X and the girl in Y. This isn’t because of the chromosomes, it’s because I like X more and want to have it be my file with the trainer based off myself (a guy).
mmmm XY is the male and XX is the woman soo it isnt for the chromosomes
Oops, I was thinking backwards… I took Biology 6 years ago, so it’s not exactly fresh in my mind.
The game isn’t based on chromosomes anyway.
21 days, 9 hours, 1 minute, and 15 seconds to be exact 🙂
I going for the tan-skin or dark-skin, but I’m more if in between with dark brown hair, not black.
Everyone! The real reason X & Y isn’t in full 3D is because they were worried of the battery life failing or having to charge during trades or battles.

its better then nothing
jordin!!!
Yes?
hii you just haven’t been here lately
Oh well then hi :p
We’re going to have to do that anyway with the 3DS battery life being what it is!
What if the 3DS is GLITCH’D? 😉
My 3DS tends to last about 5+ hours on the 2/5 battery setting. I’ve never really had any complaints about the 3DS battery life, but my brother tends to have his on max brightness and drains through it in the first half of a car trip (4 hours). I hope the Xl isn’t much worse.
I have my settings at low and so the battery lasts a long time for me. Using the 3D does lower the battery life a lot and I use the XL. The 2DS should probably be more battery life conservative.
That’s good. I usually don’t play too far from my charger anyway. The longest trip I have is a 3-4 hour train ride back home each semester, so if I play with low 3D and low light, that shouldn’t be a problem.
XL claims to have about a half hour longer battery life.
I don’t use full strength light or full 3D, I use the lowest or second-to-lowest light setting and have the slider at ~25%. I rarely have 3D above 50%.
I c wut u did thar
I also thought he said in his interview that it allows them to save 3D for special moments when it’ll really pop and be impressive.
They also said that they feared 3D would take away from the beauty of the world, especially as it drops frame rate, and having spontaneous 3D makes it more ‘exciting’.
Other thing is, ironically, those are the moments in game when you CAN be in 3D. Kind of defeats the purpose.
well i dont care about fossils unless i get both i will stick the pokemon i will get a 100% how about u take a guess!
The last episode of Pokemon Smash on September 29th is to feature Junichi Masuda and Morimoto as well as a brand new X/Y Exhibition battle.
Link please with a Cherubi on top!
It was a notification from Serebii on his Forum.
For the past week, I’ve been seeing people say that maybe the leaker said he got the starter typings mixed up and they really are Grass/Fighting, Fire/Psychic, and Water/Dark. Coincidently, most of these people don’t like the idea of Chespin’s Final Evo as Grass/Dark. My question for you guys is why are you just now bringing it up and not from the moment these rumors surfaced?
Because no one takes rumors seriously until they start looking legit.
That’s my point. As I already mention, a majority of these people hate Chespin being Grass/Dark but now everything is becomming true they’re trying to belive that it still won’t happen. They’re in denial.
Who cares. For all we know, those rumors aren’t true. Maybe he mixed them up, maybe he was covering his tracks. Just because a few rumors from the same dude are proven true doesn’t mean that all those rumors are automatically real.
You say that but so far that seems to be the case. Only time will tell.
^On purpose
I thought Chespin would be Grass/Dark because how accurate the rumors were. I only questioned it when Quilladin was revealed. Now I believe it’ll be Grass/Fighting.
I don’t see how a pokemon who prefers to avoid fights will become Grass/Fighting
That doesn’t indicate anything about Grass/Dark either…
It kinda does since only cowards fight using cheep tricks and other sneaky and underhanded tatics.
Big difference between coward and gentle. Coward means lacking the courage to fight. Quilladin is gentle and prefers to avoid battle, which means it’s kind, basically.
Avoiding fights =/= sneaky tactics.
I’m not here to disagree with you over stuff we don’t know, but I’m not following where you are gathering your logic from.
Sneaky tactics =/= cowardly. Would you call the tactics in the Revolutionary war where people were just not stupid enough to walk around in bright coats announcing their presence cowardly? Or smart? There is no general ‘code’ for fights to the death. That’s something humans made up.
That’s like saying assassins are automatically cowardly because they don’t announce their presence that they are coming to kill you.
That’s some hood logic bruh.
speaking to yourself I see
No I’m not. Just because we have the same avatar doesn’t mean we’re the same person. By that logic, all guest commenters are the same person.
I mean, of the two (Quilladin and Frogadier), who looks more likely to use “cheap tricks and other sneaky underhanded tactics”?
Quilladin, who looks built to be on the front-line in an army?
or
Frogadier, who confounds its opponents by jumping onto ceilings and into trees to conceal itself?
Give it some thought.
You can’t always go by looks. Does the typical Fairy look like it can beat the typical Dragon? And Frogadier’s name supports being a fighting type since a Brigadier is a high ranking soldier.
Could be a ranking in a gang too. Look at the Mafia, capo is Captain, etc. I happen to think Frogadier comes from Grenadier, going by how it throws small stones wrapped in bubbles.
It’s all speculation.
Quiladin is a pun on paladin, which are HOLY warriors.
Holy =/= dark.
Paladins are not holy warriors. Paladins can be dark. I can’t think of any examples, but Paladin isn’t a term for a holy warrior.
http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/paladin
Paladins can be heroic champions. Anti heroes, which are heroes with less morals than normal, still count. And, it’s always a matter of perspective. While one person views them as a heroic champion, another could view them as a cur, or evil.
A defender or advocate of a noble cause. Well, what I see as noble, you could view it as the opposite. For example, some people may view Team Rocket as noble, while other do not. As the advocate for Team Rocket, that technically makes Giovanni a Paladin of sorts. And we all know, that Giovanni isn’t a noble person. But, as I stated before, It’s all a matter of perspective.
Yes,the last thing that Paladin would become is dark type.
A lot of cliche RPG fighters actually dislike fighting. Just because it avoids fighting doesn’t mean it won’t fight, it just avoids hurting others.
Considering dark types typically have dark-themes, I wouldn’t see how it would be dark if it wants to avoid hurting others.
Maybe because we didn’t see its evolution yet and looking at quilladin there is doubts whether it will become grass/dark…and the leaker of course did say grass/fighting before which is why it resurfaced
Despite Qualidins looks, Grass/Dark is still a possibility. I can numerous occasions where the middle evo doesn’t hint towards Final evos second typing.
No doubt Grass/Dark is still a possibility. Grass/Ground, Grass/Rock, Grass/Steel, and Grass/Fighting also seem like possibilities. In the end we won’t know until we know, but I’m placing my money on Grass/Fighting.
I still say Grass/Dark is most likely. I thought that before the rumors and I’m betting on it untill proved otherwise.
That’s your opinion and you’re certainly entitled to it 🙂 I thought it would be Grass/Dark for the longest time too…and then those evolutions made me think about things.
I understand that.
Sounds like you are the one in denial.
IRONYYYYYYYY
Ummm I never said anything about someone being in denial. You replied to the wrong person.

You in denial at being in denial about something someone else is in denial about?
Yeah ISSHO, not DREGOON. look at the names first
“You reap what you sow”
-A wise old man.-
I diddn’t sow anything.
That was not directed to you.
Who the hell is Dregoon…?
I am. You replied to my comment saying “sounds like you’re the one in denial” thinking I was that Issho guy. I’m not. The reason why both have the same avatar is because that’s the default avatar for guest commenters though now I probally should make an account.

Perhaps I am confused because your name says Issho. Pretty clearly, actually.
Nope, I’m Dregoon. We just have the same avatar because we’re. But I’m making an account to tomorrow due to this fiassco so hopefully you won’t get confused anymore 🙂 I’m off to work now. By guys.
I think you might still have that username error, his name is clearly Dregoon on my screen.
Fine then. I got 100 bucks on Grass/Dark. Where you at?
I live in New York. But sorry, it was a figure of speech. If I actually knew you I’d gladly bet money with you on it…but no.
I think he meant what do you bet, not where do you live.
Well I’m illiterate.
Not your fault. He’s just stupid.
that’s not a nice thing to say i think :/
‘Where you at’ isn’t even proper English nor defines his actual intended question.
I call em as I see em, dear.
Calling someone with names is just low but whatever you like.
Well, human society made up these rules about what to do, what not to do, etc. Each person has their own sense of morality and beliefs and each person has the right to practice said beliefs. That being said, if you don’t want to be considered stupid, don’t act or talk stupid. It’s a simple give and take.
It isn’t very nice to say I did something low or accuse me of being mean. See how this goes? It can go on forever! It’s all perspective in the end where we try to respect each other’s opinions but seriously can’t handle the amount of illogical stupidity of people trying to prove their worthless points.
Whatever you like…
999,999 Pokedollars.
Sorry but lots of people were saying Froakie should be dark since they see some japanese thief motif going on.
His Japanese name is based on the Yakuza. Not very holy.
The general motive as mentioned by Morimoto in an interviews was medievil RPG classes.
Anyone else hoping for a Ground/Fairy pokemon/Retype? :3
Retype? Like what? Sandshrew?
I was really just putting it out there, I’m not sure on]which ones would get retyped 😛
That’s what I was asking you 😛 I like ground types, but I feel like most of them are kind of ‘meh’ designs. The two types wouldn’t really help each other but Sandslash should get some love.
Perhaps Cubone and Marowak? Though perhaps they seem more ground/dark than ground/fairy.
To be fair, I feel like dark and steel types are really limited. I wish we had more.
Derp, my bad! I would say phanpy but i’m not sure about donphan being ground/fairy…
I wonder if they’ll retcon the new abilities on older pokemon. I can’t remember if they’ve done this in the past?? I want old ice types to get Refrigerate, like my favorite Ice type Walrein
Body Slam is going to hurt like a snitch.

I has no Twitter ;_;
You don’t have to have a twitter to see the link…I don’t. It;s probably fake
At first, it was telling me to log in to see it.
Don’t see how that bomb thing could be real, looks nothing like sugi style.
The pic states its name as Karakorosu (カラコロス).
It definitely looks awesome, but is it legit? Not sure.
If the pic was real… where’s the original?
You know, the pic that doesn’t have a big red circle around the unknown Pokémon. In order to edit in the red circle there has to be an original.
What does Karakorosu translate to in English?
Not entirely sure, but korosu (殺す) means “kill,” but it could have other meanings depending on the Japanese characters.
It could also just be a coincidence and the use of korosu could be part of some other word.
Fake. Not enough people are talking about it for it to be real.
Additionally, why would that image even exist? For what purpose would a legitimate source of Pokemon news compile a list of every Kalos Pokemon revealed thus far and then randomly slap a single new entry alongside them? If it were legitimate, why not give that Pokemon an actual reveal?
Wasn’t Prof. Sequoia just a typo?
