  1. Just Saw a new rumour guys

    These are not NOT my theories. This is leaked information from a primary source. The names and information are all pulled from the English Language setting.

    Lets get started shall we?

    New Pokemon:

    Koasma Koala like pokemon found laying about in fields and are brought to berry ranches to test flavor of berries. It has the ability Gluttony and is a Normal type pokemon.

    Eructit Evolution of Koasma. Much larger and rounder then Koasma. It is tan and has orange stripes on its back. It also holds onto a tree branch and is seen eating the leaves. This pokemon sits down and is much like Snorlax. Knows the new moves Belch and Herbivation. It also has the ability Truant and is a Normal type pokemon.

    Crucxole A pokemon that looks like cluster of roots (A dug up plant?) it has one yellow eye and a twig sprouting from its head. (Perhaps Oorotto pre-ev)

    New Moves:

    Herbivation A new bite/consumption move. Involves the eating plants. You can use this in place of the HM Cut to remove trees. Herbivation is said to be a Normal move that is super effective against Grass. Both Eructit andAurorus will learn this move.

    Wish I had more to give you guys! I Might have more info before the release.

  3. Hi everyone!

    Clara is the 7th Gym Leader of Kalos. She specializes in the Ghost-type. She uses Tricalibur (Ghost/Steel, evo of Doublade), Sableye (Dark/Ghost), Froslass (Ice/Ghost) and Plingoo (Fairy/Ghost, evolution of Spritzee). She is an old woman, a bit similar to Agatha in appearance, though more witchlike. I assume Clara comes from Clairvoyant.

    Plingoo, the evolution of Spritzee looks, like many predicted, like those Plague Doctors from the Middle Ages. It is tall and its cloak goes from pink to gray, and it is tattered at the bottom. It is a Fairy/Ghost type.

  5. On the unexpected side of things.. Toon Link is now confirmed to return in the Smash Bros. roster.. Which makes it the 2nd reveal this month. I think it’s because of the recent release of Wind Waker HD which lead to his reveal.. I also think that after Pokemon X and Y’s release, a Pokemon will be announced as a playable character.. Who do you guys think it might be? I have my bet on Jigglypuff haha the same might go with Donkey Kong Tropical Freeze, I think (Diddy Kong)

  7. I hate to be the one who is really stupid and behind, but is this Pokemon real or fake? I know you guys have probably discussed this already but I’ve seen it all over /vp/ and was curious.

    EDIT: PJ told me on Twitter that this is fake. Nevermind I asked. Lol.

  9. Hey, seems like everyone is posting some rumours. I, too, have some rumours for you guys:

    First, XY are confirmed to have graphics. Yes, graphics.
    Second of all, the trainer battles will use artificial intelligence or AI.
    XY will not feature any connectivity with Pokémon Gold, be it wireless or via link cable.
    The Pokémon center heals your Pokémon for free!
    And the last bit is that playing XY on 3DS will activate cognitive functions inside the brain.

    • Uh, that’s not what Sacred Sword does.

      Sacred Sword inflicts damage, ignoring the target’s Defense and evasion boosts. However, Sacred Sword does not bypass Reflect.

      THAT is what it does. And that’s pretty awesome. Wonder if anything else might get the move.

      Reply

      • I know. It’s not the same as Aerial Ace and the like, but it’s still kind of silly.

        At least it’s got a good fighting move under its non-existent belt.

        Reply

        • Well, you could argue it’s silly for it to learn ANY moves that don’t have usually lower accuracy then. It’s not aa always hit move, it just has 100% accuracy. And it’s going to know a bunch of those moves. It’s just those moves can not miss under any circumstance. The more important thing is the fact that it’s other effect. That ignores DEFENSE boosts, besides reflects. Meaning those Bulk Ups, or whatever physical defense boost you do, it will ignore it. Really, the bigger thing here is the fact Sacred Sword was a Legendary Unique move, and now it isn’t. So that opens the board for what ELSE could get it.

          • Heh. Only thing with that is, that’s like a Fighting version of Psystrike. Meaning it’s a special move, but deals physical damage. I don’t know if Doublade will have the special attack to even use the move very well.

          • Probably not.

            Other ‘Blade’ moves are a bit more likely now, like Leaf Blade. And X-Scissor, but that was probably obvious when it got two blades.

            What I really want is a Steel-type ‘Sword’ move. It’s kind of odd that that hasn’t happened yet. Seeing as that would fill one of its two STABs, and make it potentially more useful when Fairies come to town.

            Plus Bisharp needs some love, too.

    • You people say that every time something sylveon-related appears. In my opinion, there will be another eeveelution until officially denied or until the games come out. Thinking there will be none is a perfectly reasonable position, but I must say I’m getting sick of that “obvious fact” being thrust down my throat so frequently. Please don’t take this personally, this is just a general rant, your opinion is already valid enough, just no need to naysay on every occasion you can;).

      Reply

      • I understand. You are right though, I really shouldn’t jump to conclusions. It hasn’t been confirmed nor denied, and there are 15 days left. Who knows. I just keep thinking there won’t be though because if there was going to be a second eeveelution, wouldn’t we have known already? Don’t forget about the Eevee Short. The Eevee family was there. Seems strange to have isolated one from the family if there was going to be another one. But like I said, who knows?

        Reply

        • As I said, it’s perfectly reasonable to think there will be no new eveelution besides sylveon. I wouldn’t even call it jumping to conclusions :). It’s just I think the existence of an established pattern trumps lack of promotional logic. But then the keeping secret of mega mewtwo X rather than it’s combined revelation with the Y forme helps my case … Whatever, we will know soon enough!

  15. So guys, Doublade has a weakness to fire, ground, dark, ghost. Hydreigon
    resists fire, dark, ghost and is immune to ground. Hydreigon is weak to
    fairy, dragon, fighting, bug, ice. Guess who resists all of those?
    That’s right Doublade resists fairy, dragon, bug, ice and is immune to
    fighting.

    I wanna use him now with hydreigon!

  16. Doublade can use Sacred Sword. It’s over now, it’s freakin’ uber, it’s goin’ to reap souls of its haters.

    Translation: I love Doublade even more.

    Reply

        • It can’t, my Chandelure in my Y team got dibs on my soul already. I’m surprised by soul wasn’t taken when I used Froslass in Platinum (my first ghost pokémon). She’s a gentle and understanding Kimono wearing ice spirit that just loves to dance in the hail.

          Reply

          • She’s my favorite Ice Type too. Not sure what my favorite Ghost type is yet though. I’m leaning more towards Giratina, but only because of its Signature move (which is so far my favorite Signature move)

          • I don’t count legendaries because they are already special. Honedge is either going to be my third favorite Ghost-type or my second favorite Steel-type (after Mawile, been my fave since Emerald).

          • Sweet Mawile is my favorite Steel type! Not only that, but my favorite Pokémon of all time! And with Mega Evolution, I can finally use Mawile’s skills to the ultimate test!

  19. For all of y’all (yes I’m Southern) who say Doublade is crap, at least he doesn’t have a DOUBLE weakness (Disclaimer: This is only based on the current type chart, excluding new abilities, dual-typed moves, and etc).

  20. I’m guessing that Doublade is going to be yet another Pokemon whose Pokedex entry says it forms from two or more of its previous forms fusing together, joining the ranks of Magneton, Weezing, Metang, and Metagross

  21. Yo, Tootles is BACK! Yeah, I CANCELED MY PRE-ORDER of X&Y cause these
    games are going to suck so much. The Pokemon still have SHADOWS IN SKY
    BATTLES?! LOL Lame! The attack animations barely look like they’re
    hitting the target, EVEN LAMER! All of the Pokemon revealed so far look
    terrible except Yveltal and Xerneas. It all went downhill after the
    reveal of this gen. Btw, Deadreaus you’re such a bitch. DO A BETTER JOB
    AS A MOD! You said you’d get rid of me, but look, I’M STILL HERE! lmao
    you’re a terrible mod. I’m friends with the phantom downvoter. Call me
