New Direct to Air Oct. 1st & Comment Policy Clarification

It’s already been announced for a while, but I’ll use this opportunity to give you a friendly reminder that a brand new Nintendo Direct is set to air tomorrow. Nintendo have said they will ‘provide updates on upcoming 3DS and Wii U games launching this year’. This means you don’t have to go expecting new Smash Bros details or Mario Kart, but you never know with Nintendo. There is a possibility that they will give us a new English XY trailer, hopefully with new footage and a Pokémon reveal or two (Orot please?).

As of now, we will not cover it live, but rather provide a write-up an hour after the Nintendo Direct has aired. If any Pokémon news breaks however, we will bring you the news as fast as we can. International times are the following (with countries listed rather than confusing time zones):

7 am Pacific, 10 am Eastern, 3 pm United Kingdom, 4 pm Mainland Europe, 11 pm Japan time.

Note: 01/10 uses the correct formatting for dates and is as such October 1st and not January 10th.

In addition, continuing the debate about our comment policy after the site’s activity has boomed, some people think we were too strict enforcing our new Community Guidelines. I shall now provide some further clarification on them and introduce some slight change to make it easier for everyone.

First of all, you most likely know the comment activity has grown a lot. Where we barely got 100 comments on uninteresting two years ago, such things get 1500+ comments nowadays. This poses a few problems. Where those 100 comments were usually meaningful additions, a huge part of those 1500 were borderline spammy. Also, whenever people started talking off-topic, the thread usually derailed into everything but the topic they should discuss. It’s sad to see a Dae asks becoming a ask-everyone-everything, because that was never the purpose of Dae asks.

Naturally, we had to enforce some kind of guidelines. I’m normally against such things, because I don’t believe in an overly abusive police state. Yet, you guys showed me you could not behave without a guiding moderator. I had to unfortunately resort to threatening people with bans so they could calm down. Some people complained it was weird that people could get banned for talking off-topic, and I have to agree it is something I would rather not do. However, you should also keep in mind that the only people I’ve banned were annoying and verbally offensive trolls. I also believe we should be a bit more forgiving in the future, but at the same time enforce some slightly stricter regulation against pure spam. Therefore I have proposed the following:

 

Is the article a news article? Go ahead, just comment whatever you want. However, refrain from posting spam (you should at least put 5 seconds of effort into your comment). This includes short comments like ‘XD’, image captions (memes) that have nothing to do with Pokémon and things that are better said in general chat (I’m going to bed now). Ignore the trolls, and if something goes on a spam rampage, hit me up here so I can sort it out. Also, if you are a leaker, please provide some proof, and know it’s not hard for me to know what your real account is.

Is the article an opinion piece, or does it ask for relevant opinions? Please try to stay on-topic. Off-topic posts will get deleted if there’s a chance the thread could derail. However, no bans will be issued unless you persevere in posting irrelevant comments. Did some important news leak, like Hoenn remakes or X2 & Y2 or a totally new Pokémon, that’s totally fine to put it in there. If you really want to discuss something else, go to our forums, the latest news article at hand or just wait for a new one to arrive (there will be always some sort of news, and I’m sure you won’t die if you don’t know immediately which starters everyone is going to pick).

 

If you still have some remarks or something else you want to discuss, just hit me up in the comments. My job is mostly to talk with you guys, and listening to our readers is also a vital part of the site. Remember, we are Pokejungle.net, which means we really try to be a network or community where everyone is free to give their opinion.

  1. No es fake
    ok, all joking aside, I feel like we will get some new stuff tomorrow, not Pokemon-Wise, but gameplay wise. Maybe it can reveal to us if we get any other starters and if they will MegaEvolve? Oh well, we’ll wait and see.

    Reply
  2. I expect this direct to be more about games that we already know about like Wii Fit U, Wii Sports Club, Windwaker physical copy, donkey kong country, Mario 3D Land, maybe pokemon x and y.

    I highly doubt we get new on stuff like smash bros. or mario kart or stuff releasing in 2014.

    (I still want surprises though….)

    Reply
  3. It’s quite sad how this still has to be said, oh well, people’ll learn one day…..or not
    Hopefully they will reveal some X & Y news that’s of some importance
    Can’t wait for info on SSBB tho, great game (although I wish the battles were more like Kid Icarus, such great graphics)

    Reply
  4. Okay, I’m glad it’s clearer now about the comments. Hopefully they will be easier to deal with!
    Nintendo Direct…hm….
    I’m hoping for something, anything really! It will be exciting to know something else before release.
    Luckily, I’ll be in school, so I’ll be up to hear about it!

  5. Pokemon is great, but what I really, really, really want to hear about is Monster Hunter 4 localisation PLEEEAAASE!!!
    I would be so happy… 🙂

    Reply
  6. I really wouldn’t mind if they dropped in some quick screenshots from Smash Bros revealing a veteran like they did with Luigi back in July (or was it August), but I don’t expect a new character. If the Direct is focusing on games that are coming out this holiday season, there’s not much that could excite me (besides X/Y stuff) because I’ve already got the games I want planned out and don’t expect surprises.

    I do want Nintendo to reveal a Pokemon character for Smash Bros around 10/12 though to match Olimar and Toon Link’s reveals. If it is a veteran, then I can see it maybe getting the Luigi treatment and getting a few pictures in the Direct. If it’s a new one thoguh, I think they’ll save it for 10/11 (they don’t update on Saturdays) and give the new character a trailer like the other newcomers.

  7. “Unlike some of our competitors who mostly use their site to boost their own ego”
    Ouch, Dae. Throw that shade, gurl.

    I don’t think we’ll get more than a new trailer (if we’re lucky) and a reminder that X & Y are coming out on the 12th. That being said, it is Nintendo so I expect everything and nothing.

    Reply
    • Bravely Default, now that’s a game that needs to come over to the West soon. It looks fantastic, but I guess that I’m glad that we’re not getting it yet- it gives me more time to focus on X and Y!

      Reply
      • I bet that if they are to do their weekly “reveal” this week then it should be him because everyone basically knows about him. The “reveal” this week should be in the Direct tomorrow. Perfect time to do it!

        Reply
        • We’ve gotten evolutions during the weekly reveals so far, enough times for me to consider that a trend, so I’d see an evolution for helioptile, or even spritzee and swirlx getting their evos revealed first.

          Reply
          • Logically speaking, I wouldn’t be surprised if it is Helioptile’s evolution or the proposed middle evolution of Fletchling and Talonflame.

          • I’m more interested in Helioptile, as the only thing to see with the Fletchling line is to see how said middle stage is elementally, if it’s a fire type yet or not. Helioptile, it’s to see if this Normal subtype trend continues, because if it does, that almost certainly means we are getting an influx of Normal type combinations to help combat Ghosts, who got a buff.

          • Good point. Considering that Pyroar kept its Normal type after evolving from Litleo, I wouldn’t be surprised if Helioptile’s evolution ends up being Electric/Normal as well. Yet again you never know. I’m hoping it’s Electric/Dark personally.

          • I have a random feeling Helioptile could be Eletric/Fire because Helioptile uses the sun to generate energy.

    • i really feel like it’s english name will be horroot (horror + root) mostly because it’s close to it’s jap name and they’ve been close lately. (Yancham and Pancham)

  8. In really want a new trailer as much as anyone else here, but wouldn’t they have done a pokemon direct instead if x and y news was to be showcased? I remember almost a month ago a Nintendo direct aired a few days before the kanto mega evolution direct and no new info was shown.

    Reply
  9. I bet they’ll start with a Pokemon segment for X and Y, then Zelda segmen, then Japanese Ports segment, followed by Mario segment and Donkey Kong segment and at least 1 surprise at the end!

    Reply
  10. I hope that means all those “See you in the morning” and “Make me an avatar” will stop. It’s always frustrating when I’m trying to find some interesting comment when all I see is the same people over and over commenting nonsense.

    Reply
  11. I guess after the Nintendo Direct tomorrow the next thing to look forward to are the reviews for X and Y. Will there be an article with all the reviews in one place later this week or early next week?

    Reply
  12. It they do reveal anything new about Pokemon X and Y in the Direct, I just hope it’s new footage rather than new Pokemon, because I want to see more of the region itself and get an idea of just how vast the Kalos region really is.

    Reply
    • Yea I wouldn’t mind seeing more of Mountain Kalos, because we’ve got some idea of what Coastal and Central Kalos looks like.

      Reply
      • I would think that you’d get those fossils in the mountains, if not underground. Imagine, a first-ever underground city of sorts. Maybe not a city, but maybe an underground route, a hidden one unmarked in Kalos.

        Reply
  13. The part about some other site owners made me laugh, so true. I was hoping we might see some new SSB footage, but you pointed out how its focus is on games coming out this year, so nevermind. I do believe we’ll get some sort of new trailer for X & Y, though I’m not holding my breath for it to be anything major. However, perhaps we’ll find out the exact date that Pokémon Bank will be released in America. That won’t be terribly exciting, but it would be nice to know.

    Reply
  14. Well guys this is it we are about to enter into the month where Pokemon X and Pokemon Y are waiting for us can i get a Booyeah Pokemon X and Pokemon Y!

  15. Well I’ll be able to watch the 1st 5 minutes seeing as my bus comes for me at 7:05…………I wish I could stay home!!!! DX Anyway I’ll just watch the recap here…

  16. Just wondering, what do you mean by pokejungle’s competitors who use their site to boost their own ego? are you talking about places like serebii and pokebeach? can you please elaborate on what they have done wrong? And I really don’t like to see other fan sites as “competitors”, but rather just other fan sites.

    Reply
    • Yeah, why add a judgemental invective? Other fansites just want to share passion for pokemon just like this site, and I don’t see how doing things differently from here (no comment section for articles?) makes them egomaniacal bastards. Dissing for the sake of it is not cool, and I certainly wouldn’t expect it coming from this wonderful site. I know modding can be really tiring what with all the comments, but that’s no reason to vent your frustration by basically fostering fan-site sectarianism. Pokejungle is a fun, diverse community, not some closed off, self-indulging caste. Stay cool and stay friendly pokejungle staff! 🙂

      Reply
      • I’m always friendly 🙁

        I haven’t actually fully read this article yet (got a lot on my plate today!) but just know that there’s a chance it’s just Dae’s opinion, and not a reflection of all of the staff 🙂

        Reply
          • Actually yes it can. Its possible to believe another person is a loser, and a fucking piece of shit that deserves to die. If you honestly believe that opinion is not mean then I will give you a copy of pokemon x and y 5 days before they come out.

          • Really? you don’t think that’s mean? sorry, but that does not compute with me. I fail to understand how anyone could actually believe such mean ideas are not mean. And therefore I will assume you are lying just to get a copy, which you therefore won’t get. I am completely certain no one would ACTUALLY believe wishing death on someone isn’t mean.

          • Of course not, I’m just snow-balling here.. people shouldn’t take everything so seriously 🙂 But there is people that will whole-heartedly agree with you.

            And that simply shows that you, my friend, will believe what you want to believe.. we cannot change the perception of truth in your eyes 😉
            ** Also, don’t worry, I can afford both XY and those 2 are enough for one poke fan.

          • I’d like a copy myself. Because all I see when I read the line is what it says.

            “Remember, we are Pokejungle.net, which means we really try to be a network or community where everyone is free to give their opinion. Unlike some of our competitors who mostly use their site to boost their own ego.”

            He didn’t call any one out, all you’re doing is assuming he is talking about Pokebeach, Smogon, or Serebii. You have no idea who these competitors are. They all cover Pokemon in general but they each have they’re different aspects to seperate them from competiting with one another. Pokebeach reports things about the Pokemon TCG. Most of the TCG that are release WPM is quick to cover them immedately. Smogon covers the metagame that is Competitive Play. Every set up or team you would one Smogon does it (Honestly more efficiently than Serebii). Speaking of which, Serebii covers more along the lines of Pokemon Animes more than any other of the sites. Pokejungle is most of a networking site for Pokemon fans where they can get reports on Pokemon news and rumors as well as Pokemon Smash/Get TV more than the others.

          • I’m going to inject here and say, the way you are approaching this situation is childish and rude. If you would like us to take your opinion seriously, act like you can withhold an argument.

          • Your tits are so uncalm right now. You love how you say he has a ‘mean’ opinion, yet you yourself have a ‘mean’ opinion of this reporter. Hypocrisy in its finest

            An opinion is an opinion. Opinions are subjective and never objective. They have the right express their opinion, you can’t force someone to change their opinion just because its mean or you don’t like it.

            For one, he didn’t specify any competitors. You and other people are assuming he’s talking about Pokebeach, Smogon, and Serebii. So we don’t know who he is talking about. Furthermore, lighten up. Its poking fun at some of the sites. I see no malicious intent what so ever.

            Secondly, I love how a lot of people ignored the entire reason for this article just for the one line. I didn’t see one thing in this article that made Dae or Pokejungle seem self-righteous or a high horse mentality. I frequent PB, PJ, and Serebii, there are that are, Journalist and Reports. I’ve yet to see anyone them on a high horse.

            Calm your tits, Sugar.

          • lol, that’s gotta be one of the meanest/”coolest” (as ‘with attitude’) way to address someone : Calm your tits sugar.. calm your tits, haha.

          • Nah I did it to be funny. Its one of my catchphrases that I tend to use a lot that. Woman find it hysterical. Works even better cause I’m gay lol

          • I don’t if that’s what you think. I think you should change your disqus profile pic because I don’t like girls, but that’s my opinion. That shouldn’t mean anything to you. I think you should leave this community personally if you’re just going to complain about someone else’s opinion. If you find something offensive just don’t say anything and stay off. Aside from the fact it’s fucking retarded to let someone else’s opinions hurt you. I’m constantly told I should die because I’m gay but I don’t care because that’s someone else’s opinion. I don’t get online or in public view and act like the worlds ending because someone wants to be an asshole. Usually they’re just looking to stir up shit.

          • Yes it is. And I live at school with five guys that are homophobic and when I go home for the weekends I live with my family that’s pretty much homophobic. Through this I’ve learned that other peoples opinions don’t matter to me personally and they will not affect my lifestyle because if they did, I wouldn’t be posting this right now and probably would’ve had another OD attempt. Moral? Don’t let others personal thoughts get to you.

          • Everyone is entitled to an opinion. I don’t like how seriously you’re taking all this (it’s just Dae’s sense of humor, that’s all), but that’s my opinion. If you don’t agree, then fine- I can’t make you. But please try to be less serious; it was just a bit of (bad ) humor. 😉

          • Right now I’m really thankful for comments like the one by nintendalek42, because everybody else is making me feel ganged up upon. He however, hit the nail right on the head.

          • I never said that Dae’s comment wasn’t unnecessary. I never said your opinion was bad. I actually agree with Nintendalek42, but I also understand the other side of the argument; I’m not taking either side.

            No one is ganging up on you, we’re just all trying to get our opinions out there like a normal community. No harsh feelings, k?

          • ok. sorry I overreacted. I’m used to dealing with cyber bullies and my mood disorder is also making me in a bad place now. Consider this resolved, please no one else come along and stir the pot. 🙂

          • Wes, are you admin? I don’t see “gym leader” by your name but you seem mature enough to be one. Communities like this one need more people like you and nintendalek42. Your words made me feel a lot better, I was feeling really angry before. Having a gentle tone goes a long way with me. I know not everyone has that kind of personality, but just saying. 🙂

          • Thanks. I saw your comment and got a little churned up inside but that apology goes along way with me, too! 🙂

          • No, I’m not an admin (I’m only 14). :p

            But yeah, sometimes people just need to slow down and look at the situation for what it is, not what it appears to be.

          • How old are the admins here? Do you know? I am 24 btw, but I have bipolar and aspergers. I don’t know if those things were evident in my comments, but I see how they could have been.

          • I honestly don’t know how old the admins are, but I think one of them said they were 21. I’m not sure though so don’t hold it to me. 🙂

          • Trust me nobody is ganging up on you they just disagree with your opinion 🙂 Personally I do see were your coming from as his language could be interpreted as arrogant and maybe even mean to some but then I think It’s more sarcastic/jokish than serious most of the time

      • well although I don’t know the others very well, what he said makes me want to say he is my least favorite. And I am not a very big fan of sarcastic senses of humor, either.

        Reply
    • Just to clarify, I think Dae simply meant that we’re focused on our community element rather than sites that don’t allow comments or make you register to post. He just worded it badly.

  17. We should start a petition for Nintendo to release the X/Y PAX demo on the Nintendo eShop… I know it’s kinda late cuz the game comes out next week but I need a little taste D:

    Reply
    • If they hand out demos people will be less likely to buy it. If they’re disappointed with the demo, they won’t buy the game/cancel their preorder/ etc. If they just release the games normally, they’ll make more money. $-$

  18. “We really try to be a network or community where everyone is free to give their opinion. Unlike some of our competitors who mostly use their site to boost their own ego.”

    Ohh dear ;L there was me so pleased reading the comment policy info and you just HAD to go and add this in at the end, realllyy? 😮 I don’t understand why you felt the the need to add this in? It kinda contradicts the whole point of the article as It’s completely an irrelevant point and quite a silly thing to say. Perhaps you’d like to elaborate on what you mean by this? I understand you may just be taking a sly humorous dig at other sites but remember that as you said you’re communicating with a larger audience these days so you should probably save the dry humor for the comments section in the future as it doesn’t reflect well on the site ;P

  20. I personally don’t believe they’ll reveal anything of substance, but hopefully they prove me wrong! I just want oorotto at this point ;( I’d also like starter final evolutions (As if) so that I can for sure lock in my choice of Fennekin.

  21. Hey guys, what do you think we’ll get tomorrow? I’m hoping for a demo on the Eshop, that would be lovely to tide me over until the release.

    • If worst comes to worst…no Pokemon news. However, as the direct is focusing on these last two months, I am willing to bet that we will hear something about it.

      Reply
  22. OMG! Randomness but… just 11 more days! I really really have a sudden obsession of wanting to see the likely evolution for Clauncher! Pyroar and Talonflame were complete badasses. Honestly, all of the evolutions for Generation VI have been awesome so far! Can’t wait for evolutions other Pokemon like Bunnelby too! 😀

    Reply
      • I like the Big Band/Swing Band feel to it. It is a bit on the Donkey Kong side, haha, but I do think it is the appropriate genre. I think many people are expecting futuristic electronica; however, that doesn’t seem to fit the old-school glitz of Team Flare, they appear very 1920’s with the flashy red “zuit suit” and shades.

  24. So many rumors! I’m surprised by the amount we have before X & Y’s release! People are trying harder with leaks than before. I can’t wait to see if some of these are real or fake! About 12 more days to wait. 😉

    Reply
    • I’m so glad I didn’t spoil myself for BW, but this one I might end up spoiling myself lol. Legit I’ve been on sites 24/7 looking for any rumors possible, something I would never do 3 years ago lol

      Reply
  25. You know, what I find kind of interesting, is that the person on Neogaf, the apparent tester, who said the recent PB text leaks were mostly false, minus three things that seemed like lucky guesses, or something to that effect, and was letting people friend him to show he was in fact playing the game on his 3DS, hasn’t shown up ONCE since all these leaks or ‘leaks’ whichever way you want to look at them have been out.

    Reply
    • Well, to be honest, if he’s legit, he wouldn’t want to get involved with all of this shenanigans until he is sure that he wouldn’t be breaching contract with Nintendo. He’s probably not bothering getting involved until the fourth, if at all. Just because he’s a reviewer doesn’t mean he’ll leak anything.

      Reply
      • I didn’t say he’ll leak anything. But he had no problem calling out the recent PB leaks, which talked about starters on there, though he also didn’t specifically say what in the leaks was somewhat true.

        Reply
        • Yeah because he…can’t. He’s not legally allowed to. Some people risk that, as per leakers, but he doesn’t seem to want to, hence he probably won’t leak much. He only said that the Pokebeach rumors that were recently posted were not true as he didn’t think it fair for us to get hyped over false rumors. That’s not proving or disproving anything so he can’t legally get into trouble.

          Reply
          • Well, that’s my point. I just find it kind of funny he hasn’t shown up during all of this to simply say “It’s fake” and leave it at that. I mean, that’s nothing he can get in trouble for, if it’s not real, he can’t get in trouble for saying that something fake isn’t real, right? Because people are getting hyped over this, aren’t they? Of course, it’s possible he simply hasn’t gotten to a computer and hasn’t seen it… but considering the area he was posting, if he even looked at it, there is no way he would miss it.

  26. Does anyone know what the quote on quote “leaked” is located because im looking and see nothing but….. things so is someone could show me that would b just peachy thnx ;D

    • By expressing this you are providing several trolls with a hot meal. Just ignore it and they will become weak and emaciated, and then, leave you alone.

      Reply
    • No offense, Dicie, but you’re really trying for attention, which is kind of annoying. I’m not the culprit, but in my observation, I would suggest to you to relax a little and enjoy the socialization while ignoring the negativity. It will be better for you to learn while being protected by your computer screen how to deal with negative comments and hateful people, as they are out there in the world and you cannot hide from them forever. Once you begin to realize that you can face such negativity, you will become a stronger and more confident person and be able to continue doing what you enjoy without much interruption.

      As such, when you had your little hissy fit a few days ago and you tried asking us to come over to your private blog…that was very immature, and slightly irritating. You also put a lot of stress on the people who enjoy your company, like that silly psychic birdie. Be mindful of your actions as only you can help yourself. You cannot control other people, and while they might try they cannot control you.

      Also really offended that you accused me of downvoting you and hating on you without any logical reasoning nor asking me how I felt personally.

      Ah well. You’ll grow up.

      Reply
      • As much as I agree with you and your reference to me, we have to accept that Dicie is truly affected by these kinds of people, and he thinks very bad thoughts when such situations arise. Yes, you are right, he may be vying for attention, but that’s only because he trusts us.

        Reply
        • Well here are parts of why I believe that he is vying for attention. Which, isn’t a bad thing. It’s just annoying. Many people have hardships, so many people respect the hardships of another. While he is more than welcomed to discuss those hardships with us, doing things like…

          -making a huge deal of him leaving a chat-site
          -purposely using other names or posing as other people to avoid detection (such as his ‘brother’)
          -refusing to be honest to people’s questions
          -making a personal blog and post it on the chat-site he already claimed to be leaving in hope people will flock to him
          -giving up when no one does and returning to chat-site anyway

          These are all just instances that are…completely unnecessary. I don’t dislike him at ALL, let me make that very clear, and I feel bad that he is as sensitive as he is. But no one can protect him nor change what he is thinking. Only he can do that, and as someone who likes him, I would say he should attempt to change his thoughts right now.

          Just…be cool. If you get upset, walk away from the computer and do something else for a while. You don’t have to announce it. You don’t have to make a huge issue of it. That’s the beauty of the internet…you’re just one of the masses and you have the freedom to come and go as you please.

          Reply
          • Again, offended, yet touched and in relief that people are realizing the real me, but with these long-ass comments (a good thing), I am starting to realize who I REALLY should be. 😀

          • I don’t mean to offend. It’s very mature of you to see the positive despite finding something offensive. I am just really brash with my words. Hah. It’s because I’m half Italian and a female and from New Jersey…not a good mix!

          • I know you don’t mean to offend, but I believe it is some of the wording that I am misinterpreting. And thank you very much, I try to understand people’s points and then leave it be. 😀

          • Just think of this as a Pokemon fan site…which it is. There will be trolls, there will be people who try to find error in your actions, but you have to laugh it off. That’s what I do.

          • Oh. Well okay. Since you do it, then I guess that can work for me as well. I just get annoyed with downvotes, negative comments towards me and… yeah. I guess I gotta brush it off, and this works best using some STRONGER VOCABULARY when needed, because I’M DONE. Anytime a troll steps up, NicieDicie becomes MegaArceus. 😐

      • As offended as I am of your comment (part of it), I can partially understand your point of view and in no means am I judging it. I completely understand your point, and how it can help me, and although I am glad you have posted it, you kinda ruined it in some places where you really, truly offended me. Nonetheless, I appreciate your comment and I apologize for the false assumption (which is just how I am sometimes), and I think this will really get me thinking. However, I feel like maybe I misinterpreted some parts of your comment as offensive, but some truly referenced that (first sentence, last paragraphs). But you are great at expressing your opinion, and I’m sorry you feel the way that you do about me, and there’s nothing I can do about that. As this sounds like I should quit Pokejungle forever to quit “trying for attention” and “being annoying” and throwing “hissy fits,” I won’t, because one woman’s opinion doesn’t mean anything to me. Just because one person feels this way doesn’t mean I have to be put down. Therefore, I will simply ignore those offensive parts and stick to the truth (most interpreted in the second paragraph) and I appreciate that positivity overall.

    • I hear you, but Directs usually flood Youtube. I do expect Pokemon news with release so close, but I can’t imagine it’ll be anything spectacular…hoping for gameplay information more than anything. We need more of that stuff.

  30. Do you all think it’s too soon for the Nintendo Direct to introduce a new Pokemon game on the Wii U? You know that one screenshot? They might put another image up just to tease us fans, but I wouldn’t know until 2pm tomorrow.

    • I am SO excited for that! I hope they go back to actually revealing and showing RELEVANT information, not just repeats of CoroCoro. I want them to go back to the Pokemon Sunday format. ;D

      Reply
      • Which they will reveal at a later date. Besides they have a bunch of games likely coming out in 2014 they would talk about before anything new. And don’t get me wrong I am ok with them showing all old stuff, I just wish they’d show something significant about them or talk about the ones they have given little attention to so far. Like X, MK8, and especially SMTxFE.

        Edit: MK8 probably has more info than either X or SMTxFE but it still has less than some… maybe…

  31. Note to everyone, please don’t get tied up in these not only off-topic discussions, but rather, off-putting discussions. The volatile banter back and forth that doesn’t even relate to Pokemon whatsoever and the responses to troll postings only aggravates the situation, and contributes to the troll postings and spams the pages. Just ignore the posts involving drama or personal issues among the posters. Again, even if you are not trolling, by responding to these postings you are spamming and granting legitimacy to these posters, and downgrading the overall quality of the discussions. Vulgar and inflammatory language only magnifies these petty arguments. I know, I know, some of the comments made the past week especially have been malicious, please really try not to respond to these comments. ( I AM SURE I HAVE RESPONDED SEVERAL TIMES MYSELF)

    Some friendly chit-chat about homework, school, personal lives in the context of waiting for the release is probably fine in most cases, if limited and placed in the right context; don’t create a new branch of discussion when the comment can be placed under an existing conversation. This, especially for multiple main branches being frequently crafted by some posters, even if there isn’t the intention to spam.

    The moderators have been more than patient and lax on their ruling; please don’t ruin it for the rest of us by engaging in any of the aforementioned behaviors or it’s likely and appropriate that the moderators will have to become more stringent.

    Lastly, this isn’t a conversation for debate, this is just an advisory note. So, please just read, move on, and hopefully become a bit more conscientious of your posts. I would rather this post NOT become a huge debate of back and forth banter, as it in of itself is a TAD, to say the least, off-topic. I hope you all understand and really put some effort in exercising some restraint from personal attacking, self-pitying, attention-seeking behaviors. It truly does scare away other posters, and again, detracts from the amiable discussions.

    Thanks. I just felt I needed to take preemptive measures to ensure the chat remain as lax and enjoyable as it has up to this point! Happy postings!

  33. I have some predictions:
    – Pokemon X and Y will introduce:
    1) 120 – 160 new Pokemon
    2) 50 – 80 new Mega Evolutions
    3) 30-40 new Fairy-types (amongst the 120-160)

    • Nintendo directs are really short. Going by the E3 one, Pokemon got the limelight for about three minutes. They won’t show much but a new trailer and gameplay footage would be nice.

      Reply
    • But with the embargo in place it’s highly unlikely we’ll get leaks before the 4th. If we get any after that, they won’t be much, so the best thing to do is call everything fake until it’s officially revealed.

  34. While waiting for Nintendo direct, check out what I found, these cards with alternate art of the original 151. Which are… interesting, to say the least. And kind of more creepy in a few cases, specifically the ones that are clearly trying to EAT each other. Ones of note for me are Charmander, whose eyes are disturbingly narrow, and also proves that the original Charmander DID have spikes on his back, the Pikachu art actually falls in line with the original sprite too, so for the most part, these are probably what the sprites were made from, as Pikachu has a white belly, the Diglett is kind of cool because it’s being shown as it’s digging into the ground, instead of just going up and down like a whack-a-mole, and lastly, cubone. That is the best look under that skull I think we’ve ever had.

  35. Oh boy i cant wait my way to pass the time along is watch longplays of others.

        • True, but Dragonair’s ears look more like wings than Wartortle’s. They remind me of that greek god (I think his name was Pan?) who had shoes with wings on them. Compare Wartortle to Raichu, they both have very curly ears, but they’re definitely ears.

          So that this isn’t completely off-topic, do you think we’ll see Orotto in an hour’s time?

          Reply
          • I have a feeling we will get a new launch trailer for X and Y and it will show Orotto sneakily, but I don’t think they are going to reveal its english name/debut haha

  36. we should get a post on Mega Evo’s and what Mega’s could possibly do for a bunch of Pokes. I just realized that Mega Blaziken can legally use Baton Pass with its ability now. Trade a Gen 3 torchic all the way up with baton pass, make it hold the stone, and waa-laa! Ahh mega evo’s going to be so much fun.

    Someone uses thunder wave on your absol, you mega evolve and magic bounce it back and set up a free swords dance, dude, absol/blaziken are going to WRECK
