[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.
Game Details
In addition to the two new Pokémon, various game outlets got to play Pokémon X & Y and have revealed some small additions to the games.
- New Kalos Pokémon will not be receiving Mega Evolutions, only Pokémon from generations 1 through 5
- It’s official, Masuda has confirmed that the overworld will not be in 3D, only battles and some special scenes
- PokéCenters will now feature an area to customize trainer appearance alongside the medical area and PokéMart
- Pokémon now gain XP when the wild opponent is captured
- Professor Sequioa asks you to run an errand at the start of the game: delivering a letter to your mother

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.

In case ya aren’t exactly of fan of the official Sugimort art for Aurorus and Tyrantrum,
I found some very nice fanart for you to gawk at. Enjoy~!
Oh, and thankfully Disqus has finally got its shiitake together and started working properly! I can finally see avatars and posted pics again! O(∩_∩)O
Hi Claus. The avatars are working for me again right now. How about you?
Yep. Soooo much better! I hope the issue doen’t come back.
Me too! It’s horrible without the avatars.
I know this is a little off topic but I was looking at some screen shots of the game and saw you can get a Pangoro hat 😀 I pray there’s a Swirlix one, my guy will look so spiff! XD
I’ve got my fingers crossed for a Chespin hoodie.
That would be amazing! I’d love a Swirlix puffer jacket and hat haha or a Froakie bubble scarf 😀
That would be so awesome
Maybe girls could get a Braixen scarf ? 😀
Or a female meowstic scarf
I just thought of something wat about a froslass kimono
It would. I really do hope they give us hundreds of stuff to choose form I want to look real random XD
I want to be able to rain my pokemon will having on pajamas
Haha that’d be epic! And I know you an change socks, I hope they let us put odd ones on and not pairs XD
You know, it occurred to me, was that an icon for socks, or is it an icon for BOOTS. Because, we had seperate icons for dresses and pants… Just a thought.
Aw really ? Nuooooo XD
I would love that
😀
where did you saw it?:O
Here are some screenshots that show possible hats, accessories,
and hair styles & colors.
could you show me a picture
Refresh the page if you can’t see the pics.
thnaks :O
I like the Pangoro hat with the sunglasses.
I love the purple hair. It gives me hope that they’ll be plenty of colors to choose from. 😀
I think there’s also green hair, too, if that helps any. It was either green or blue, i can’t remember.
It was on Serebii in the screenshots page. It’s the last one in July 12th section ^-^
You can wear sungalsses over it too 😀
– 23 Days 😀 I love this one
I’m sorry, but that’s kinda creepy.
What do you guys plan to nickname your pokemon? This is what I plan o name mine Chespin : chestnut or cashew
Flechling: Phoenix or phénix
Pancham: Tatakai
Amaura: Reine de glace ( French for ice queen)
Noivern: DJ Boomer
Helioptile: Solnar
Meowstic (male) : Nicolas
Meiwstic (female): Gabrielle
Sylveon:Celestia
Gogoat : Chèvre
Vivillion: Artiste or Belle
Pyroar (female): Kiara
Swirlix: Bonbon
Furfrou: Frizette
Xerneas: Ramure
I hardly ever nickname. But I decided I’m going to name my first Chespin Boogu.
Since its an international game I’m sure you’ll be able to
use ō instead of oo for its name. Flabébé is proof of that.
Bōgu’s cool. Boogu kinda make me think of booger. :I
Lol, I like Boogu more because I call my cat Boo Boo, and the way I pronounce Boogu it’s like saying Boo Boo, just Boo Guu 🙂
Boo as in the way the ghost from Mario games is pronounced. Or what you say to surprise somebody, Boo!
Lol @ Boo Boo the cat. 🙂
Boo Guu is possible, too, with a space in between.
Either way, you’ve got yourself a name for it.
I feel nicknames add to the connection
and kinda gives them a lil’ personality.
And that’s exactly why I want to nickname Chespin ^_^
Fennekin: Sasuke I always put this name to my starter pokemon<33
Flechling: Fletchard
Pancham: Champan
Amaura: glaceone
Noivern: chimaruuu
Helioptile: antelanuu
Meiwstic(male) : Neji
Sylveon: Malegay
Gogoat: Green
Pyroar: Lioner
Yvelta: Darkness
I need to see Chespin’s 2nd stage evo to know what to really name it.
I’d nickname Tyrunt its German name, Balguras, because it sounds like a Godzilla monster name. I’d give Amaura the nickname Nívea
from the Spanish word nieve, meaning snow.
It’s Balgoras xD And Nivea is a german hand lotion xD
What’s Shitzon mean?
Think of it as a name. I created it myself (when I didn’t know english) and it’s just for me xD It means everything and nothing at the same time. And don’t use capitals on it ^^
KK =]
I wanna use your name in a story, if I may.
*ahem*
You’re at the park, gently feeding some Pidgey, and then suddenly, a flock of wild Pidove appear. You’re like, “OK, cool.
I’ll feed you guys, too. (‘∩_∩)” Then they wanna be all brave and get closer and closer to the bench like they don’t give a fnck. Like you can’t just get up and throw a Pokéball at them. Like you’re not some kind of Pokémon Trainer, but a food dispenser to them. Then comes along oooone little Pidove hopping onto your lap. “Awwww. I’ma lil’ terrified, but you’re so cuuute. (,ᵒ̌‿ᵒ̌,)” And then it happens…
It shitzon you. All. Over you. (ԾДԾ)७
Yeah, I know how my name is pronounced. That’s why I said that I invented it back when I didn’t know to speak english. But nice effort ;P
Welp… Fixed Tryrunt’s nickname. I typo’d.
Now, how am I gonna destroy this hand lotion company…?
My Chespin will be named Garland. Both due to that being a plant thing, and also, Garland, the Knight/Dark Knight from Final Fantasy… And I so, SO hope Chespin can learn Knock Down/Smack Down. That is my greatest wish right now. Because then… I can have Garland… Used Knock Down. And it was Super Effective. HAPPIEST DAY IN MY LIFE.
Beyond that, I’m looking at Malamar as being Cthulu or some other HP Lovecraft creature if male, obvious Ursula if Female. Kaiser for Tyrantrum. And that’ skind of where I stand right now.
Really nice name for Chespin. I likes.
Garland also sounds like the word garnish, which means to furnish with beautifying details; adorn; embellish. It’s also what you do to food sometimes, like garnish a dish with some herbs or garnishing a salad with croutons or bacon bits.
I really want Quilladin to garnish some badass armor when it evolves!
Well, Garlands are also a decoration, kind of like a reef type deal, sorta.
Nice name.
Nah man. Steiner.
Well, YOU name yours Steiner, I’m sticking with Garland. Besides, I also played Dissidia, and Garland was my favorite character in the game, so I’m pretty firm on this.
And I’m saying this in good fun, just want to say. I understand the reasoning behind it, I just want to use Garland.
Wasn’t changing your opinion on it, just, lol FF reference, it reminded me of Steiner. Goofy looking dude with oversized armor.
Heh, gotcha. Well, I’m still banking on it turning on the awesome upon evolutions personally.
Teach it Quash and Heavy Slam and Body Slam (if it can learn them) and shout “I’LL CRUSH YOU!” every time you attack.

http://t3.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRT6i3E9ys82EK0y5aqERmhRLIC9bEtKs3zaMtP3MKnCnYy0K4SwQ
Sadly, I’ve never seen that.
Or Dumbo. *walks off into a corner*
NO dumbo!!?? You are missin out!
Actually her name is Vixie. I nearly said that too.
I don’t nickname them :p
I don’t nickname much but if it’s one that I love like Fennekin or something like that, I might nickname it whatever the fully evolved form’s German name is (considering my family is German so..yeah) and if I like Yveltal’s German name then that too but that may be it.
I’m going to name all my Pokemon after chess pieces in my X file.
Chespin- Chespawn (Subject to change when I see final evo)
Charizard- Charishop or Blastoise- Blastshop
Pyroar- Pyrook
I haven’t decided on other members yet, so I’ll just wait and see.
Thought I’d let you guys know. In the last 20 minutes we just smashed the previous record of site views set in a single day, and there are still 4 hours left of today!
And it’s all down to you guys. Hopefully we can continue to smash records in the lead up to XY and beyond.
How many is that?
For now, I won’t say. It’s a fair amount though 🙂
Perhaps we’ll publish it in the coming days.
KK
🙁
Why the sad face?
because I dont understand what did you said and I passed my english test with 95 :l
oh :/
That’s awesome 😀
Awesome!! Just wait til X/Y releases 😛 , isn’t the current record from B/W launch?
Well, the current record is from today, the previous record was from BW though, yup! 😉
It was a long time standing.
I wasn’t here when B/W launched. Dang it!!!
Well, you’re here now. Isn’t that what really matters?
Congratulations! 😀 This site is out of these dimensions! (Get it? X & Y…dimensions? No? Okay)
I get it, maybe eehh, don;t count on it. lol
That joke was as bad as this one:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2cibgXQ4hkw
I was actually looking for that clip where Ash says something and then Misty glares at him and says, “Bad.”
YAYAY! CONGRATS TO YOU GUYS!
You sir get a hug and free Kalos starter from me of your choice as a congrats gift 😉
Let’s try to beat this record when X/Y are release!
YAYA
When X and Y releases, gosh, tell that new server of yours to be ready ;D
Woo! Congrats everyone! You’re all part of PokéJungle and it wouldn’t have been possible without you!
THANK YOU!! 😀 I feel special ^^
Masuda just tweeted out a few hours ago that Pokemon X/Y has reached 1 million preorders worldwide.
Like WOW.
Holy cow! Well I just pray that when I go to the store I’ll be able to get X XD
M E T O O .
Damn. Interesting. I’m planning to preorder mine a day or two before so I don’t have to go pick it up on the 13th and the guy in the front to say:
“Sorry, we’re sold out.”
#ScrewedForLife
Heh. I’ve had my preordered for a few weeks, paid in full as well too, so I can just walk in and grab it, and leave. I already OWN Pokemon Y, technically, that’s how I preorder. And that makes the wait even worse XD
Wow, XD, I haven’t preordered mine yet since the wait is EXCRUCIATING, and preordering it now will be even more EXCRUCIATING.
#EXCRUCIATING
#EXCRUCIATING
Is there any chance you could explain to me how preordering works? I get a bit confused with the process.
Basically, any shop that does preorders will ask for you’re address, number and any basic contact details. Sometimes you have to pay a deposit which entitles you to have a copy kept back for when you are to pick it up.
Thank you too!!
Anytime Jordin! 🙂
And also sometimes with big games like this they ask for ID, so bring a form of one like a learners permit, or Drivers License. I usually use my motor cycle license since I have that on me most of the time 😉
Yeah, I’m not old enough to have one just yet but I’m almost there, lol.
Then I say bring at least your parent with ya in case 😉 Its not embarrassing unless they hate doing this :/
They agreed to let me get the game as long as I stay focused on school and if I save up some money. Mom loves the game too and thinks Spritzee is so cute, lol.
You would only need that stuff for M rated games or if paying with credit.
Well, it kind of depends on where you go… Usually, if you do it at a store, like a Wal-Mart, or a Gamestop, you can put down a 5 dollar deposit, Wal-Mart actually has little cards for this purpose now, which basically reserves a copy so you will absolutely have one there, and you can pay it off at that date. What I do, as I generally do my preordering at Gamestop, when I actually preorder, I just tell them I want to pay it off in full, and I have an account, so all they have to do is check my card/tell them who I am and confirm it, and I can walk out with the game.
Thank you!!
I’m just wondering if my Gamestop will have a Midnight Release. Becuase I want to get this game at the absolute earliest time, because I HAVE A WEEK OFF SCHOOL THE WEEK AFTER THE GAME COMES OUT. W00T!
I asked if they would have a midnight release. They said probably not.
Yeah, that’s what I’m afraid of. BUT, I can still get in there as early as possible.
You put down a deposit on the game to reserve yourself a copy when the game is released.
This does NOT guarantee you a copy. However, the ordered ‘reserved’ copies in stock are separate from ordered shelf copies.
Still get there early or they will give away even your preordered copy depending on the game’s popularity. However, preordering does raise your chances of ensuring a copy.
If you’re from the UK, it DOES guarantee you a copy.
Yeah, I might actually pre order one because I’m paranoid it’ll be sold out :O
Do it, you will NOT regret it 😉
I just might :3
lol. I won’t pre-order mine. I like to buy things physically.
Or I could just get to the shop or 9 am haha, and literally charge through the door as soon as the shutter starts coming up
That’s what my friend did last year. First one of buy the B/W copy in Michigan.
I did the same with White 2, but only cause my GF was opening the shop she worked at lol
lol
If I don’t preorder it, that’s what I was planning to do XD
Just preorder it. It’s not harmful nor do you pay more for the game. Plus it’s satisfying to order in advance as then you owe less on the game come release.
I’m going too, though I’ve never had a problem before When I bought Black there where loooads of copies left P:
You still purchase it physically. Preordering is just a down payment. You basically loan Gamestop or where ever a payment, either partial or full. When the game is released, they will have a copy reserved for you for pick up (you will need to pay in full if you haven’t already).
So really, you only wouldn’t preorder if you like to live dangerously and potentially not be in time to get your game.
Really? That’s cool.
Mistakes happen.
Yeah. As my teacher always says- “If you don’t make a mistake, you’re far from from the light that will lead you to your potential.”
So if I go to my Gamestop and I’m the first one there could I still get my copy without preordering?
Ehh maybe, its best to preorder, they mostly get games for preorders first then regular retail
It looks like I’m going preorder then, thanks!
I guess, I mean first come first served right ?
Well, yeah, probably, I seriously doubt their entire stock could be already preordered ENTIRELY. But, they will have to keep the number for their Preordered People.
At GameStop do they make you sign up for all of those Power-up reward things? If they do I’m going to Walmart, I saw the reservation cards there. Except they didn’t have one for Pokemon Y 🙁
They might have you do that. I had done it some time ago, so I still have my card and account, even if its’ defunct, it still tracks my preorders.
Walmart from my house is like a 1 hour drive.
You don’t need one. Just your phone number.
They will offer it to you, but you don’t need to sign up for it to preorder, just use your phone or cell number, but imo its a great benefit to have. I got my platinum card and I use the points to get discounts, like I got GTA V for 20 buck using a 30 off coupon 😛
You can trade things towards a preorder. At gamestop, you can put credit towards preorders. The power up reward card gives you an additional 10% towards your preorder.
Or atm 30% if you have the card too!
As a note, iunno about the reservation cards because I dislike Walmart, but Gamestop nor Best Buy require any slips to use. Just put money down and they’ll order a copy for you.
I’ll agree with ya, Walmart is (for lack of a better term) crap for preordering games imo. I once preordered Pokemon Platinum from them, went there in the morning, and they said that it wasn’t out until a week later. I tried telling them it came out that day I came, but they said no. So I went to a toysrus and got it that same day. It then happened again with my preorder of GTA IV, they said the same thing, so I did the same thing, went to toysrus across the street and got it.
They get a shipment based on what GameFreak ships them. So, Gamestop would report the number of preorders for GF to guarantee shipment of, then GF ships whatever copies they determine would be enough to maintain profit.
For example, Apple is only shipping ten Iphone 5s to certain retail locations for the whole week. As you can imagine that isn’t many.
You don’t know how many GF will have shipped to retail companies so preordering does assist you in at least having your copy specifically for you shipped.
Well, as I said, I’ve also Paid for my in full, so they better have mine XD
Luckily my GF works at my local GS so she’s bound to try and hold my copy if I am late from Comic Con :p
She might get into trouble for that unless you preordered it…or…can just buy it for you. :/
I preordered it in full already lol and my plan maybe to get it in the morning, and have her hold it till I get back 😉
I hope this doesn’t end in some kind of disaster :/
Not necessarily.
When GS gets a preorder list of everyone who reserved the game, they make absolutely certain they have enough games on hold for preorders.
All games left over are then put on the shelf.
Everyone who hasn’t preordered, which is still a lot of people for some reason (Pokemon sells 2 m just in America, and only 1 m have preordered world wide) will have the same idea as you do: try to beat the crowd.
So you CAN but you have a considerably smaller guarantee than just preordering.
Wow thank you for writing that long comment for me 🙂 I finally understand the whole thing, thank you again!
Never a problem glad I could help. Now go preorder!
Yeah i forgot about that when writing my other post. Still getting there as early as possible to start playing as early as possible.
I usually preorder from GameStop and I never faced anyone selling off my copy if I miss release day. But GS is also a good choose as you can choose to pay what ever amount you want, and even use trade in credit to add on to it every time you want till its paid off, well that’s what I did at least lol.
I usually do too and they rarely do it, but it has happened to me. I mean, it was probably a mistake, considering how many games they have, it would be easy to get mixed up. However, just because you preorder doesn’t guarantee you’ll get it anyway, was my point. But reserving is still the best security.
It all really depends on want, if there are more buyers then demand, they will sell your preorder copy, happened with Fire Emblem Awakening (which I was lucky to snag the last copy of aka the LAST game in the entire town). But seeing that my towns GS is pretty much a retirement place and no one but a few little kids go to, I think I got myself covered lol
And not being promised a copy (and pure excitement and inability to wait) are the exact reasons my best friend and i preordered at the lesser known/visited GameStop by our mall and will be there before they open haha. Good luck everyone.
If that happens, I’ll go to Japan and buy it there. lol
I already own it. I just have to pick it up.
They only put on the shelf what they have left after preorders. Reserve ASAP so you don’t forget!
(Sorry this is a late post) I want to preorder pokemon X but I fear some huge mega version difference is going to happen in Pokemon Y’s favor lol
Totally not…unexpected! Imagine when the game launches.
WOW! At this rate, it already beats the D/P record.
October = The Month Where Dreams Come True
October- When the World Record for most games sold in a week/month shall be broken
October = Pokejungle May Break Due To X/Y Leaks
LOL. Why am I laughing about that? :()
CLEMONT CONFIRMED AS ELECTRIC-TYPE GYM LEADER ON BULBAPEDIA.
“Serena is a girl from the Kalos region who loves fashion. It seems that she has met Ash before. Clemont is an Electric-type Gym Leader who loves inventing. He keeps his prized invention, theAipom Arm, in his rucksack. Bonnie is Clemont’s sister. Since she is trying to find a wife for her brother, Bonnie is a girl with a stern personality. As she isn’t a Trainer yet, she will be keeping Clemont’s Pokémon instead. The three characters will be voiced by Mayuki Makaguchi, Yūki Kaji, and Mariya Ise respectively.”
;O I LOVE THAT!!!
😀
😀
To be more precise, Clemont won’t battle Ash because he has no Gym Badges. Serena is Ash’s childhood friend who moved to Kalos and starts her journey there.
And if you’ve seen Attack on Titan, you’ll know that Yūki Kaji is the voice actor for Eren.
Don’t tell me this and (possibly) dislike my post just because you think some things are out of place. Tell Bulbapedia this, since this is DIRECTLY quoted off of Bulbapedia, which is why QUOTES are present. 😐
So he has an “Aipom Arm” that actually does resemble an Aipom tail. So is the other arm thing he has based off a Pokemon ?
Maybe. I can’t think of any other Pokemon with that kind of tail/sun thing.
solrock
YESS! SOLROCK.
I was more focusing on the black pointer thing, either it’s something akin to a sun dial and isn’t based off a Pokemon or its a Pokemon face or something XD
Guys I convinced my non pokemon playing friend to by pokemon x and y and try it
I think they’ll enjoy it 😀
YAYA. GJ
GO AWAY DOWN-VOTER.
The Tyrunt-Tyrantrum line are officially my favorite fossil Pokemon ever. I cannot contain myself over the awesomeness. I think I need a new pair of pants.
Don’t we all 😀
LOLOLOL
I don’t need a new pair, I wear depends.
ok…
Guys, my GF found out her boss may get her X copy early so…what should we do?!?!?
Capture HER! FIND OUT EVERYTHING! LOL
But there is no Human Ball yet? How about we just stay back as it may get us all…screwed for lack of a better term.
lol. sure…
Steal the copy haha Naw but seriously, it is in that persons best interest to reveal everything to those who wish to see everything XD
Is this a joke?
We hope so atm :/ but its HIGHLY likely 🙁
REVEAL ALL THE POKEMANZ!
Please…and thank you!
does anyone want to trade 3ds friend codes
I will definitely my Pal Pad has always been empty XD, though…to figure out how to find mine O.O
O.O
Everyone agree that the Serena and Ash theme should be like Naruto and the 2 year time skip. I mean, Ash is Naruto and Serena is Sakura.
I might not like Ash, but I certainly dislike everything Naruto. However, really, the childhood friend potential girlfriend is a very overused trope.
Poor froakie
Yeah. I wonder if it got into a serious battle but with who? I mean Clemont won’t battle him, Garchomp tipped him off the tower, and the background was all bricks and so I’m guessing it’s like 2nd to 3rd episode.
Garchomp maybe to promote MegaGarchomp?
I think Team Flare put that band on its neck to make it rampage and set it “loose” on things they dont see “Beautiful”
That’s a pretty good theory
Rampage? Please team flare just gave him crazy dance fever.
Somebody avenge that Froakie! Tell it’s family it loved them!
Frogadier will do its work. 😀
Frotenant, what I will call the final evolution, is Froakie’s father.
“I AM YOUR FATHER…”
#StarWarsReferencesOVERLOAD
#Nostalgia… (not XD)
#ParenthesesInTwitterXD
I don’t think that’s really an upgrade though, Brigadiers are higher in rank than Lieutenants.
I researched that a week ago, I could have sworn it was the other way around. I’m probably incorrect, though.
No, and if you are looking at Wikipedia, the higher ranks are at the top, so it’s Marshal/Field Marshal, General, Lieutenant General, Major General, Brigadier, Colonel, Lieutenant Colonel, Major/Commandant, Captain, Lieutenant, 2nd Lieutenant, Officer Cadet. Technically there is a Lieutenant higher, but that is more primarily a General, the Lieutenant is there to denote it not being a ‘full class’ General, as it were.
So what is your recommendation for a name from this list, then? Frogonel?
Hm. Honestly, I’m really not sure. They might change it up and maybe change it from Fro something. But, Brigadiers are rather high there, going right from a Rookie to a Brigadier? You have got to have mad skills to pull that off.
I mean, think about the Oshawott line for a moment. OshawOTT, DewOTT, SamurOTT. In this case, it could be FROakie, FROgadier, and FROgonel or whatever it turns out to be.
True, but you can’t always rely on that. Because, every other Water Starter didn’t stick to that.
But we can agree that they all kept to a common theme, right? The fact that both Froakie and Frogadier have common prefixes make sit seem like it will be another case like Oshawott.
Yeah, I edited my message, but I did agree with that, right now, they do have share it right now, yes.
Alrighty, cool. Let’s get on with our lives and find out what really happens 😛
Just look at the bugger. He totally has mad skillz.
Not bad, makes sense. I think they might go with some sort of toad king motif. King being the highest rank.
Froaking! (the -king suffix might be overused though)
Problem is, that strays from the RPG theme. Going from Brigadier to King seems a bit out of place in my opinion.
To be Fair, Brigadier kinda screws up the RPG theme in the first place, last time I checked Military Officers weren’t what we’d call a Thief/Rogue or Ninja.
Brigadiers aren’t even in RPGs.
I was under the impression that Froakie was a rogue. Rogues can job level into ninjas, thieves, assassins, etc.
Pretty sure Masuda confirmed though that the evolutions are going to be based on medieval RPG characters. So that’s weird. The name makes sense but the character doesn’t.
In Japanese it has Yakuza references, so…
Well, Yakuza are kind of considered thugs and thugs are considered rogues.
Exactly. So what the heck are with the English names.
Well, on Bulbapedia, another source for the name is also being a type of leader of a small group, or something like that. That may be what it was derived from.
He sure took a serious beating from Chespin.
I think it’s confirmed that that Froakie is Ash’s (imo). There was another screenshot of him with him/her.
Bye guys. 😀
Going to Art Prize tomorrow. Good night.
Bye! See ya!
Goodnight!
See you later! 😀
Bye! 🙂
Back on topic! 😛 Aurorus or Tyrantrum, and why?
Tyrantrum. He is a beast, he’s gonna be the “tough” one of my team. And he also reminds me of the Skeksis from The Dark Crystal :3
What about you ?
When I saw Tyrantrum, I had to get that too. Amaura has earned a spot on my first game clear lvl 100 team, but that thing is a beast of legend! (Aurorus too)
You see, I want to use Noivern, and if I do I would not want Tyrantrum because I would have conflicting Dragon-types. SO If I end up using some other Flying-type from Kalos I may end up using Tyrantrum.
Yeah, I try to keep my team as balanced as I can, and have little type similarities as well as have not more than three Pokemon sharing a common weakness.
If there is another Flying-type in Kalos that is more appealing than Noivern, I will probably utilize it. I simply haven’t seen enough Pokemon to make my final decision in that regard.
Aurorus: type combination, ability, and appearance. Sold, just like my preorder.
You have the same feeling as I do! X, Froakie, and Amaura FTW.
I want to pick Fennekin first, and get Froakie next, then Chespin. Or which ever other starter next, I just want my witch-fox first.
Tyrantrum, because I flipped a coin.
Coin-flips are now prohibited. XD
Ok…then I choose Chespin!
Chespin is prohibited as well. Not really, though. I lied.
I don’t really care for either, although I like Tyrunt more than Amaura. But everyone I know personally seems to be getting Tyrunt so guess I’ll get Amaura.
Aurorus
Tyrunt has me, I like Tyrantrum a LOT so its a deff member on my team 😀
I have to say, design-wise they are almost equal in greatness!
I think it comes down to personal taste.
Some want a badass, elegant, cute, regal, among other culmination of personality traits on their team.
I like the regal and elegant types, so I might go with Aurorus at some point before I choose Tyrantrum. Though, I will use both of these pokemon at some point in time since they are, as a pair, the best fossil duo I can think of.
I love regal and elegant types, too. I feel that these two fossil Pokémon represent those types. Tyrantrum is regal while Aurorus is elegant.
The Rage King and the Ice Queen of prehistoric times.
Yeah, he is tough and rugged, though, he has a beautiful color palette, and nice design features including the gold spike crown and white-spiked frills. I can see some regal aspects of the design for sure.
Unless it was a typo there is another professor named Sequioa?
Good point :O
Do we have a picture of Professor Sequoia yet?
No, just what the person writing the article said. Though, the fact it wasn’t given much focus is kinda weird, because it’s clearly a character we don’t know of.
Thank you!
He was playing a bit of the game’s beginning. I’m sure it is a teaser, they would have to ask permission on what they can disclose.
However, it doesn’t seem like you even meet Sycamore until after the first gym. It doesn’t really add up then because this professor has you deliver a letter before getting Pokeballs.
Who played part of the game’s beginning? I MUST KNOW.
IGN got to play a teaser.
Lucky bastards.
It’s really the only benefit for working at IGN.
Your new avatar is ADORABLE! ^^
Aww, thank you! 😀
Professor Patrice Sequoia.
…Or, at least, I think so.
I hope there is another professor. I always think it’s weird there is just one Professor each region, maybe he Sycamore studies actual Mega Evolution while the other is trying to find out the origin of Mega Stones ?
And if there is a Professor Sequioa, I dunno why but, I’d love rival professors trying to out do each other or something lol
Sycamore: “Oh I see you have been given a Pokemon from Sequioa, here have a Kanto Starter.” XD
Sequoia sounds like they’re going to be a woman imo
Yeah. I’d like another female professor.
I saw this about sequoia trees – “The sequoia is a majestic tree symbolizing eternity, longevity, and
vast wisdom. It can also symbolize endurance and strength. Sequoia
wood makes excellent Druidic staffs, as it is very good at both holding
and conducting energy.”
It’d be cool to see a Professor based around that 😀
Sycamore could also be the focus of one of the games and Sequoia in another. Or perhaps they just have conflicting ideals so often argue. Sounds like they’d make a great couple. <3
I’d love that! A professor couple would definitely be different. could see them occasionally trying to get “one over” on the other in their work haha
Reminds me of Bill and Lanette. Sycamore looks like the ruffed up lazy butt and he gives off a competitive vibe. I hope he gets a lot of development, he’s my favorite professor already. Professors so far have been kind of generic.
We are getting to fight him, so that’s a start. Giving the professor a bit more interaction. Though, we have ‘technically’ kind of done that before, depending on what you classify Colress as. He was kind of a Professor… Sort’ve. Had the Lab Coat, even acted as a mentor like character for some of the game, you sure saw him a hell of a lot more than Juniper. And of course he was mostly a villain.
Yeah I love how he looks and lazy/competitive characters are my favourite kind. The hair and stubble are awesome aswell XD
Anyone else hoping your trainer can actually eat something I’m tired of having to starve my trainer
and go to the bathroom :p
That would be to realistic
Not as realistic as having to sleep at night :p
Just imagine how we would react to that we were already Hyped for sitting on benches
What about proper hygiene? My trainer must have rotted teeth and stink to high heavens.
Ever play Harvest Moon? Feeding your character is so tedious 😛 Then again, it would be cool to eat like at a Café just when you felt like it.
Mine always passed out. >_>
Same here.. I was always eating all those roots/ plants to get stamina back 😛
I would like to just go to a cafe and let my trainer eat something any time I felt like it
Sims Pokemon!
No. Don’t wish for tedious gimmicks, they take away from the fun of the game.
I meant just to allow them to eat it wouldn’t be required and there wouldn’t be a health meter it would be just for the enjoyment of allowing them to eat
Like Animal Crossing?
Oh like the ability to? I don’t see why not then. Especially if it gives you bonuses. Consumable items can be useful in that regard.
…though I would just sell all my food like I do in Animal Crossing.
Question.
Is freeze-dry super-effective on both water AND flying, dragon, grass, and ground?
Or is this unknown?
Also, do you guys think other moves of this nature will be introduced?
I hope grass types get some of these to fend off some of their weaknesses.
Yes, all of the above. I could see a move like Scald have this. Maybe a water attack from Clauncher that is so hot it is super effective against grass types. Similar to what happens when you put lettuce in hot water. And yeah, grass types need some serious help 🙁
Scald does cause burn, so I always wondered why it didn’t hurt grass types.
The only things I want to see at this point in time are:
1) Helioptile Evolution (hoping it becomes Electric/Steel now instead of Electric/Ice, as I will have Aurorus on my team)
2) Swirlix and/or Dedenne Evolution (I want to choose my Fairy-type for Kalos!)
And I may not use Pyroar; that would be my only free spot to hopefully put a Ground type or Malamar.
YAY DEDENNE!!!!!! :D:D:D:D:D
The Pikachu rip off Pokemon haven’t had an evolution since gen three. Doens’t mean anything…but food for thought.
Don’t call Dedenne a rip-off or Dicie will rip you XD
Oh. Um.
Raichu’s mini-me.
Or we can call it, Why-chu. Xp
I’ll just walk away now…Oh look, there’s Dicie! *sprints away*
Therefore, it will have an evo since gen 6 pretty much reverses all of the pokemon conventions! :p
Wouldn’t Dedenne then have a PRE-evolution? xD
Can it get smaller?
There is no limit to how small Dedenne can get. It defies reality.
You mean you WANT to see Dedenne get smaller? It’s like 8 inches tall you would need a magnifying glass to see it
I just hope Dedene’s evolved form doesn’t follow
Minccino’s method of evolution…
As long as the evolution is larger than 2 feet tall, I will be happy.
and if Dedenne doesn’t get an evo?
I won’t use Dedenne in that case. dun-dun-DUN
Don’t drop that thun tha dun!Sorry, so tempting, that and it’s stuck in my head. ;_;
I have no idea what you are referencing, but okay! XD
It’s a song I found through Vine videos. Oh good gosh…
So you…
Heard it through the Grape-Vine?
Viral videos of people being either amazing, or amazingly stupid.
Whatever fits in seven seconds!
I would still use it because it is adorable!
Congratulations! You gave the right response! Here’s a Dendenne! 😀
Yayy! *hugs it and names it Hamtaro*
I’d love a six foot tall hamster.
Gen three? The ele-rodents of the third gen are Plusle and Minun and they don’t evolve.
I was including gen three.
Oohhh! You mean starting from Gen three? I see.
Gen 2 didn’t even have one, strangely. Except Pichu but that’s literally a Pikachu.
I’d say it counts.
Some people for whatever reason count Marill.
The things I want:
1) a few permanent evos of older pokemon that could use one (cough Farfetch’d Cough), and a few pre evos too!
2) Is Corless and Looker back in this game, or will a new Looker based on the 11th doctor replace him?
3) And finally, starter’s final evo types.
ALONG WITH *cough Dunsparce evo cough*
Apparently this is a list of the types in the Kalos dex that was found on 4chan, it is more than likely fake due to it saying Meowstic, Honedge, and Oorotto evolves but we can take it with a grain of salt.
The red highlighted words were meant to have MEGA EVO’S, and it has been confirmed that Kalos pokemon will not have mega evolutions.
Plus, it’s 4chan :p
It also said Fletchling evolved only once, we know from the released pic it had 3 evos since there are 2 gaps between it and Zigzagoon. So ultimately its fake.
Aw, ya beat me!
#TYPETOOSLOW
Pretty sure in one of the interviews it said Zigzagoon is catchable. I miss that little critter.
It had Fletchling as a one-stage evo line, when in the past most regional birds had been two-stage.Aside from of course Hoothoot and Taillow
oh shoot yeah.
Two-stage evolutions are Pokémon that evolve twice.
Hoothoot and Taillow would be considered one-stage.
If it doesn’t evolve, than its a basic stage Pokémon.
Not Taillow :p
Murkrow says hi and I guess you can count Rufflett and Mandibuzz too.
Yeah, but those aren’t what we consider to be Regional Birds. Regional Birds are the early com birds at the beginning of the game, like the regional rodents.
I hope we get another bird in Kalos, because there need so be some more Flying diversity in my opinion.
Oh I’m sure we will, I don’t think they’ve ever had just the regional bird and that was it.
I want to see a quail Pokemon. I would use that.
a ROADRUNNER Pokémon! 😀 (if we have that, *facepalm in advanced*)
Tranquil.
Tranquil is a wild pigeon :p
Except Unfezant is a pheasant. Evolution at its finest.
Funny enough Tranquil and Unfezant have the body structure of a roadrunner. Not what I imagined one to be…
Regardless Pokemon never have the traits of one animal.
But…but…that’s definitely not a real quail because it evolves from a dove.
Talonflame is a falcon that evolves from a robin.
Your argument is invalid!
;O; Your specifications are invalid! I think.
An octopus evolved from a fish…
Stahp. Just stahp! XD
I’m hoping for a woodpecker. Warbler, kingfisher, or crane.
Crane! YES! It shall be Flying/Psychic because I say so!
Peacock! Fairy/Flying!
What about an ostrich
Dodrio? I believe so.
OOOOOOOO OR A KIWI
Turkey?
CHICKEN!!! starts as an egg, evolves into a chick, evolves into a CHICKEN!!
Delibird
Torchic…Delibird is a penguin.
O it always reminded me of a chicken
We need a toucan. D: So I can name it Fruit Loops.
Or a chicken that evolves into an egg…
One BIG egg! One with only feet, eyes, and a mouth :p
This reminds me, I have wanted unconventional evolutions. Evolutions that appear younger/smaller, yet are stronger. Or like a pheonix, that starts old and decrepid, and evolves into a baby and then an adult.
Tyrunt reminds me of that. Actually most evolutions do…
It would remind me of Doduo/Dodrio
I would love a real ostrich. Maybe a french made ostrich species, with the feather dusters and all.
Yea it could be ghost/flying cause it could be in an haunted french house
You had me at feather dusters.
YUSSS!
OR grass/flying!
Rock on!
No! If you put a rock on it, it would be severely damaged! D:
I can totally see it using some Rainbow Fairy-type move and I’ll be like, “Taste the rainbow, ___ ____!!”
Peachrome!
Hummingbird, electric/flying!
That makes no sense and that typing would be absurd! Brilliant!
It’s often associated with this type because of its speed.
That is great, someone give this man a raise!
We also have spearow in gen 1
I GET IT, I’M TIRED! ;A;
You just can’t catch a break XD
It’s 10:08 pm here, yet I stay up to extremes. I should sleep and retain memory better. I STARTED in the 3rd gen with Emerald, the fact I forgot poor Tailow is embarrassing. (well, technically, I started playing with Stadium, but owned my first Pokemon game as Emerald.)
It’s the same time here NO EXCUSES
Regional birds:
Pidgey (3), Hoothoot (2), Taillow (2), Starly (3), Pidove (3), Fletchling (?)
And you could include Spearow (2) and Wingull (2) in that group too, they were found right at the beginning and were fairly common birds.
When was it made?
I just found out about it a few minutes ago so I am not sure.
We saw it earlier, we’re pretty sure it is fake. Plus, we determined that the Red Numbers likely indicated Mega Evolutions, which we had just learned today no Kalos Pokemon will have
Oh alright, I just discovered it earlier so I wasn’t sure
