  3. This dude has Quilladin, Honedge, Pancham and Wartortle… We already know what three of them evolve into! he should be leveling up bunnelby or furfrou…

    Reply

          • Not starterS, just quilladin! i dont know why so many people hate on him, but i feel that knowing his final evo will give him a shot at redemption! xD

          • Its not the point of hate. Its the point that he’s caught a few Pokemon and we can see how/when they actually evolve. Like he caught a Litleo pretty early in the game, Does that mean he has a low level requirement or does he need a Fire Stone? I’m also surprised he hasn’t seen Flabébé or Swirlix yet. Those are other Pokemon I wish to see the stats or abilities (in Flabébé’s case)

          • He also has yet to shown you rivals partner Pokemon as well. Does Serena get the advantage or does Shauna?

          • Hmm… I think Serena might get the disadvantage.
            If ya look at it this way, in the anime it seems obvious that Ash will get a Froakie. Serena was shown with a Fennekin in a scene so she might end up obtaining one. If the anime is following that logic, in-game Serena will have the Pokémon that’s at a disadvantage to the protagonist’s choice. That would explain why the Instagram leaker has a Froakie seen in his Pokédex. Well, that’s my theory.

          • Same. I feel like Bunnelby would be one of the quickest to evolve. I’m still wondering about the Beedrone as well as seeing how/when the Pokemon that have been released evolve

    • I don’t think furfrou evolves, though it would be cool. I hope it gets a puppy pre-evo though! And yeah, bunnelby should be a quick evolve, assuming it’s like other regional rodents. (I want to mention that wabbits aren’t rodents, but you get the point XD)

  4. People should call their local game stores and tell them that the street date for pokemon x and pokemon y has broken and see if we can get other stores to release it as well

    Reply

          • If that’s the case, I think that means it’s REALLY not meant to be, and we won’t get a Dark Gym leader pretty much EVER.

          • I don’t understand GameFreak’s bias against a Dark Type Gym. Ever type has had a Gym, with the exception of Dark and Fairy. Hell Fairy may even get their own gym this Gen. There are now more than enough Dark Pokemon to make a competent Gym. Not like back when it was introduced (Sup Jasmine and your three steel Pokemon lol)

            Fire – Blaine, Flannery, Chili (Not really)
            Water – Misty, Wallace/Juan, Crasher Wake, Cress (Not Really), Marlon
            Grass – Erika, Gardenia, Cilan (Not really)
            Electric – Lt Surge, Wattson, Volkner, Elsa, Clemont (?)
            Rock – Brock, Roxanne, Roark, Grant(?)
            Fighting – Chuck, Brawly, Maylene, Korrina
            Bug – Bugsy, Burgh, Viola
            Psychic – Sabrina, Tate-Lisa
            Ghost – Morty, Fantina
            Ground – Giovanni, Clay
            Poison – Koga/Janine, Roxy
            Steel – Jasmine, Byron
            Normal – Whitney, Norman, Lenora, Cheren
            Ice – Pyrce, Candice, Brycen
            Flying – Falkner, Winova, Skyla
            Dragon – Clair, Iris/Shaga

            As you can see (All by memory, not cheatsy-doodles lol) Every type (save for Fairy) has had at least TWO representative.

            That being said, Dark has had a 3 Reps of Elite Four (Karen, Sydney, Grimsley) Fighting, Psychic, and Ghost share that number as well. No Gyms though

        • Eh….Even though Grass only has two Gym Leaders….I’d rather not have it. That being said…Jesus Ice and Electric again tho? They both happened last Gen. That being said Electric has had the most Gym leaders… Lt. Surge, Wattson, Volkner, Elsa.

          That being said, Clemont can throw us for a loops and be a Fairy Type gym leader, since Dedenne is both Electric/Fairy.

          Reply

      • @star_rocker:disqus that is the order of the badges, when you fight the gym leaders, the badge is in the VS screen prior to battle

        Reply

    • My thoughts are as follows: Bug*obvious* Grant, who I still think is going to be Rock, Korrina *fighting* then I think the 4th gym could be Fairy actually, 5th is Clemont, and is probably electric, 6th… No clue, it seems ‘spooky’ to me sorta, so I’ll say Ghost or maybe the fabled Dark gym, 7th gym, no clue, but we haven’t had a psychic in awhile, and 8 looks ice looking, which I know is circulating in rumors

  9. So I have been asking my brother who studied business especially in the gaming community about this whole issue. He said most likely Nintendo is pissed off as no company likes a product sold before release date, it can hurt sales. Launch day sales are important for marketing and showing owners the ROI. Therefore, games sold outside of what was expected will be counted as lost sales. Nintendo doesn’t really lose literal profit but it does hurt them in other ways.

    We also most likely won’t get the game any earlier. It would be best to stop bugging companies, ratting out the stores, or getting involved with the feud at all. There are obvious procedures to be followed, as in they can’t just release a game whenever they want to. Just food for thought.

        • This happens all the time with local aussie games, a CEO of a games company confirmed it with a game that came out last year, a month ago the same thing happened.

          Reply

          • I suppose it is not as enforced in Aussie but in other countries, specifically in the US, laws are very enforced. However, considering this is Nintendo, I don’t see them just allowing stores to break street date and fucking up their sales.

          • That doesn’t mean Nintendo doesn’t enforce anything. You said it is for competitive purposes but then Nintendo gets shit end of the stick. They’ll most likely pull the games from the stores.

            It can’t work like you insinuated otherwise stores would be abusing the shit out of it without retribution. Some stores leak for various reasons…from they made a mistake to trying to make a name for themselves….but it doesn’t work the way I think you think it works

          • Honestly i don’t get your attitude at all. What Tales is saying is that Big Companies (Such as Walmart, Gamestop/EB Games, etc) will not risk having the God hammer that is a Gaming Industry. Nintendo or Game Freak has full rights to prevent or ban a retailer from their list. If they don’t ban, they’re certain sue the pants off of them. Yet smaller franchise, such as the one that leaked in Canada, have some wiggle room to do it because they aren’t on the spotlight like bigger stores.

            He’s not saying no other store will do it, he’s saying that its fucking stupid to do so. The store might get a profit in the short-run. However, economics needs to be thought of in both short-term AND long-term. In the long-run, Nintendo could pull their products from their shelves or even sue the company for a good chunk of the profit it could had lost.

          • How should I know? I just disagreed with you in that once one store breaks street date they all can. Some might risk it. Most don’t. I doubt Nintendo handles things like this lightly.

      • That is totally stupid. The stores that did it are in deep shit, why would other stores/franchises follow in their place.

  10. I’m assuming Gamefreak maybe on a mad dash to stop the leaks or break some more news before the leaker. We’ll see in the coming days.

    Reply

  11. @balrogthemaster on twitter is claiming a leaker has finished the game and he’s seen froakies final evo. Does anyone know this guy and if he’s legit?

    Reply

  12. Welp, kosthedin has gotten to 7500 followers on Twitter.
    I really hope he’s not trying to be an opportunist and only upload pics every time he reaches a certain amount of followers… :

    Reply

  15. A little off topic. But since Origins is on tomorrow and it shows Red with his starter and all. Do you think the x and y news tomorrow is starter evolutions? Or at least something starter related.

    Reply

  19. what i don’t get is why is he the only one really leaking, if Italy and Canada sold them early then where are all the other leakers?

    Reply

    • only a few stores broke the release date, and only a few had the chance to pick them up before the stores stopped selling them, and only a few of the ones who managed to pick them up want to/are capable of leak.

      Reply

      • yeah but apparently there were huge lines at the gamestore this dude got his copy from, and anybody is capable of leaking literally just grab a phone and post the pic anywhere. but i’m sure we’ll see more leaks tomorrow.

        Reply

  25. Okay. Does it surprise anyone that some of these players are about like 3 to 5 hours into the game and still only have 1 Badge! o_o

    Reply

      • Oh I’m totally fine with a more Fleshed out story.That being said, there are 16 towns/cities (includes the Pokemon League) and 14 points of interest (includes Victory Road). Which makes 30 all together.

        Half of thoses cities have gyms (8) than the League (9), and one is your hometown (10). So there are 6 cities/town that are left to explore and then other 14 points of interest.

        Unova is probably the biggest Region of the gens. In BW (BW2) there are 14(19) cities and towns. Yet, 22 (34) points of interest. That brings the total to 36 (53)

        • While i don’t lke to refer back to Gen 5 (note ive never played the sequels, heard they were much better) i generally hated how linear Black and White felt to me. the story was cool but it seemed…rushed. i would take fewer locations if it meant those locations actually played a role in the story. there was a desert and a construction site in black and white, both of which looked pretty interesting but were out of place and had little to no actual content within them.

          that being said. im sure most of these people are starter grinding because im sure youve seen everytime they post an image “LOL WHERE MY QUILLADIN EVO< WHAT LEVEL IS QUILLADIN WHI SINT IT EVOLVED YET”
