Pokémon X & Y Review Copies Released; Information Leaking?

The above shots were posted to 4chan’s /vp/ board, but may originate from Italian games. Review copies being out does not mean that leaks are guaranteed, because only professional gaming news outlets receive them, but it is a definite possibility that new images and information will surface before release.

Reviews will not be posted until October, and even then there will not be new information that Nintendo doesn’t want to be revealed.

  1. Pokémon Center is expanding their business. First, they bought Poké Mart company, now they are going with an exclusive clothing line!

    I think, there must be a change of business-vision as they were free-pokemon healthcare foundation. They must need money from somewhere else as they seek out for bonanza.

  2. This may be a little off-topic but I recieved all three shiny Legendaries as of today.. And I noticed something interesting about the descriptions of the wonder cards.

    I heard somewhere that shinies will be a little easier to get in a Masuda interview or something? And what if Shiny pokemon actually do have some traits added to them! Perhaps the bond of shiny pokemon is stronger that usual pokemon?

    And also.. The giveaway ends at the 11th of october.. I know that when the bond between you and your pokemon is high enough they can Mega Evolve once they have their Mega stone equiped… Perhaps I’m thinking to far ahead.. But what if these three get Mega-evolutions? The text is too specific for XY to not have any effect whatsoever.

    What do you guys think?

    • I definitely think they will play some kind of roll in X and Y and unlock a pokemon or event item for us.
      In D/P/P, we got Shiny Pichu event that that when traded to HGSS unlocks Notch Eared Pichu in ilex forest.
      In HGSS we got Shiny Raikou, Shiny Suicune, & Shiny Entei events and when traded to B&W unlocked Zorua/Zoroark in Castelia & Lostlorn.
      Now in B&W we got the shiny dialga (& others) & I’m pretty sure they will unlock something in December when we transfer them to X and Y.

    • I agree with Kyuubi argument going on there.

      Kyuubi literally means nine tails and it is not a word that takes a fixed form to appear in English name and there is a chance that its Japanese name is Mafoxy. Dunno…

    • The names sound a little far fetched
      Like Froakie being a combo of Frog Croak and rookie
      Frogadier Frog and Brigadier
      and then… Frogue frog and rogue…
      not sounding like Military which Froakie is semi based on
      Chesknight sounds believable but still the prefix of Chestnut to quill bact to Chestnut sounds strange to me
      and Kyubixen sounds REALLY hard to believe

  3. Guys a few people are saying that all this leak stuff is fake including the PokeCenter screenshots. Are you guys sure all this is accurate cause those 2 images came from vp on 4chan and you know how they can be sometimes.

  4. just like any Fakachu’s we must analyze every little detail for suspicious flaws.
    -They already shown a PC
    -They claimed that Pokecenters still have marts and a clothing changing room
    -Don’t know why Tierno is in there but alright (he’s my favorite out the friends)
    -and the outside matches the structure on the interior
    -and the image was photographed
    Real or fake! Fate will decide

      • Hiro has been an avid leaker in the past from what I understand, and at this stage of things with the games nearly out, he may know some more things, just he isn’t leaking them this time. I think he’s the one who leaked everything during BW, and I’m pretty sure he got in a fair amount of trouble for that, so he’s unlikely to do that again. Doesn’t mean he can’t call out fake rumors though. We’ll see. Besides, a good number of the rumors have already been declared as fake anyways, besides the most RECENT PB Rumors, not the original Leaks. So we’ll see.

  5. Something to elaborate on the supposed fake rumors.

    The yellow guy with a blue jacket that you have to escort to Grant is in fact Volkner. Apparently N, Flannery and Volkner will have escort mission for you to do.

    Sounds cool, and if N is in the games then I’m pitching tent for our midnight release. though it’s a shame this is fake. xD

  6. An inkling in my head tells me that this final episode of smash is going to have big news at the end maybe the final starter evos or possibly the beginning of get star will we’ll just have to wait and see

    • Well, we know we’re getting a full X/Y double battle so that should be awesome to see. Although I wonder if they’ll tease us with something like a silhouette of the final form of the starters?

      Reply
    • Considering there is an Embargo preventing anyone from saying ANYTHING on the final forms of the starters until the 12th, I doubt we’ll get that in Smash as a result. Don’t get me wrong, I’d love it, but that seems to make it extremely unlikely.

      Reply
      • Seeing as Smash is prerecorded, and both Masuda and Morimoto are on this weeks episode, why wouldn’t they be allowed to tease at least something about them?

        Reply
        • Well, my reasoning is that if they don’t want anyone talking about it until the games are out, thus keeping them a secret, then why GIVE us them here in Smash, but no one is allowed to talk about it. That’s at least what it looks like to me. I at least hope SOMETHING new is revealed, it is the last freaking episode. Hell, maybe finishing off with what the freaking tree is would be nice, I’d take that. Though, thanks to the recent info, we at least know it is almost certainly part Grass and not Rock in any way, due to it taking super effective damage from fire attacks.

  7. I know how everyone is happy about the leakers leaking, I was happy at first when I thought how sad GameFreak will be. They put a lot of trust into these people for them just to throw it away how sad :)… Then I get happy again because I think how much of a troll TrollFreak has been then I feel they might deserve it 🙂

  8. NOOOOO I just realized I might not be here for Smash!!! 🙁 I want them to release good stuff but I also want to be here when they do…

  9. wow with only two weeks to go im surprised that the pokedex hasn’t been leaked yet, dose any one here know what was leaked before previous game?

    Reply
    • Okay, I just looked up, and Pokebeach posted a post about Pokexperto’s leaks last time. His post was on the 10th of September, and the games came out 8 days later, and apparently Pokexperto had been posting the stuff for the past week. So that’s when the Pokedex leaked last time.

  10. Does anybody know of a trailer with the 3D model of Absol? Whether it be in battle or Amie, I don’t care, but I need a pic of Absol’s front for a project I’m working on. (Absol, not Mega Absol)

  11. What I don’t understand is why any professional would risk their job for the sake of revealing a few new details about a Pokémon game to the fans. And based on the past, when I say “risk,” really I mean “forfeit.”

    Reply
    • Well, to be honest, some of that may be there are some kind of people who do things because they are not supposed to. It’s like a thrill. To do something ‘wrong’ or at least something an authority figure said not to do, and trying to see if they can get away with it.

  12. I honestly have no idea whatsoever how I’m going to avoid spoilers this time around. I REALLY want to avoid them so I can run in a patch of grass and finding something I didn’t even know existed! The only time that happened was when I got my first Pokemon game, Pearl. I had no clue what Pokemon was, but the series was easy enough for me to understand (At the time I was 7 years old). Although the problem is I might miss out on some things or items, etc. if spoilers are avoided…

    Anyway, Nintendo has their predator drones out patrolling for leaks so that could mean a Nintendo official could be looking at this site! Wouldn’t want the site taken down though. Maybe if PokeJungle reports spoilers on another website like Twitter, Tumblr, etc. the site wouldn’t be taken down?
