This post contains spoilers for Pokémon X & Pokémon Y. The comment section of this post will also contain spoilers for the upcoming games. Do NOT proceed it you wish to avoid details on the game.
We’re now exactly one week away before X & Y release globally next Saturday, and the wait is becoming unbearable. While fans are eagerly awaiting the release date to come about there’s not a huge amount of news for us to cover. However, as most fans are likely aware the final evolutions for the Kalos Starter Pokémon are now known.
While there aren’t a huge amount of details on the Pokémon we received so long awaited information…
Quilladin evolves into the Pokémon Chesnaught. As we speculatively reported back in July the Pokémon resembles a knight in some ways, and features heavy armour all over its body. It is said the armour covering the Pokémon is able to withstand the blast from a bomb. Chesnaught is Grass/Fighting type.
Braixen evolves into Delphox. The Pokémon maintains the almost magical-theme and resembles a witch of sorts. It is Fire/Psychic type and is able to generate temperatures of up to 5,400°F using its psychic powers.
Finally, but by no means least, Frogadier evolves in Greninja. Again, like we posted back in July, Greninja appears to play on a ninja theme, and looks to be an extremely capable Pokémon in battle. Greninja is a Water/Dark type Pokémon.
We’re drawing closer and closer to X & Y and our coverage could start as early as this Thursday. Some of you may noticed but we haven’t followed through with The Journey to X & Y, sadly we won’t be posting any further articles in the series, as big news is likely to hit daily now. Instead we will move articles outside of the #J2XY and continue them after the games have released.

I’d like it if Deoxys got a new ability instead of pressure where it randomly changes into one of it’s formes when sent out.
For example, if it’s in Normal forme to begin with, it can either transform when sent out or remain in normal forme if it’s random.
With that being said, Mega Evolution for Deoxys?
I prefer mega evolutions for breedable pokemon…so you can work out the nature and IVs you like, then strike!
I would say It would have a hold item like a meteorite so it changes forme!
Deoxynite sounds cool.
Maybe it would change formes depending on the opposing pokemon’s lowest stat?
Well, I like how it changed form in PMD when you went on a different floor. That’s where this idea came from.
Basically an amped up version of Download.
Im Naming My Greninja “NinjaPlease!”
IG: Dimpzilla
I will name it Rasengan
I like! & thanks for liking cmt, ppl hating smh
i thought it was a cute name, yeah, i’m a girl like that
lmfao Look ^^ Somebody just had to dislike haha Probably that GEN guy that always comment on here
I have a Riolu named that with a Modest Nature.
Jiraiya is what im calling mine. Naruto was my favorite anime growing up
So was it to me X3 but i only liked the original Naruto, i didn’t realy like Shippuden, the only arch in shippuden i like is the Pain invasion
Pervey sage, it works so well! xD
Gamabunta for me.
Any word on a Jynxite or something? I will be severely disappointed it there isnt.
I’m getting so hyped I can’t focus on anything else! Heck, I’ve got a ton of stuff to go over but I just don’t want to miss anything
Can someone please explain to me what the move King’s Shield does please? I’m just so interested in Aegislash that I want to know what it does.
I believe it prevents damage and lowers opponents attack stat harshly.
I think it would only affect physical attacks though.
Yeah I have that thought too. Would be a bit much if it affected all attacks.
Thanks
King’s Shield is essentially Protect and Spiky Shield except that it will decrease an opponent’s Attack by two stages if it tries to attack using a contact move.
So it blocks all moves, that’s a little OP. But, what does Spiky Shield do?
Protect and damage the opponent if uses a physical move
So, this is the first even numbered generation to not have a ghost type gym. So far.
It’s the first generation to not have a Ghost-type specialist of any kind.
Oh yeah. That’s right.
someone know if there is more legendary pokemon? not counting with the xerneas, yveltal and maybe mewtwo
the pre-evol of noivern

well im cancelling my preorder, these are the worse f***ing starter evolutions I have ever seen. I thought maybe that these where horrible nightmares but oh well. sorry Nintendo I am done with pokemon, so is my wife, and my kids.
Nintendo, Gamefreak and the entire fanbase of Pokemon are better off without people that are so..
Firstly I don’t understand such extreme hatred towards the starters when they’ve recieved arguably the best reception since a good few generations.
Secondly, we’ve been treated this time around. Awesome type combinations and the starters being based off the RPG theme. A few of us were shocked at the way they evolved but now we love them because WE ARE OPEN MINDED or at least try to be!!
Thirdly, if you hate the starters that much why don’t you ditch them or don’t evolve them. Better still just use one of your favourite Kanto starters as your main. Game freak goes and gives us a nostalgic treat in the Kanto starters and what do they get back? Posts such as the above.
If you’re ditching the games because apparently according to you the starters are a horrible nightmare then you’re expectations are sky high and I can safely say that type of mentality will always draw criticism. Look to embrace bro. Join the fun or catch your train back to Distortion World.
I’m sorry if I came across as rude or arrogant in the below post marked as “guest”. I’d really like it if you changed your mind and tried being positive about things. Doesn’t mean you have to get the game. If you hate it that much then fine but at least chill out man! :]
If you cant appreciate these games because of the starters, which are optional, then you don’t deserve to buy either X or Y.
When I was kid I hated charizard, now I love him, so starter point as quality of franchise is stupid as f…k, we like pokemons because of idea of game and it’s desing, it always been unique. [but in this gen I have only few I like what is kinda lame because I liked all others : /]
http://kalos-pkmnacademy.tumblr.com/ Elite 4 leaks. Still nothing on the champion.
Dragon, Steel, Water, Fire (not in that order)
and with diantha as champion. gonna be a nice pokemon leauge this time around
I’m just curious as to why Wikstrom has a star on his head…at least the Fire E4 trainer has a nice ass..
Steel -> Fire -> Dragon -> Water
Not sure if it’s the same as Unova where players get to challenge without any particular order.
Has Team Flare even been resolved yet?
There was a tea party. Punch was served.
Mega Gardevoir
OOO GURL THAT DRESS
You are an awesome person 😛
THE ELITE FOUR IS PERFECT.
Only 69 new pokemon?
Yeah, it looks like it. Even smaller than what we thought. But there’s probably at least 3 or 4 secret event legendaries that no one knows about yet!
But also can happen like 4th generation that the new evolutions of the old pokemons was after the national dex.
but… the Z legend is 718… *sniffs*
One of the reviews told that there were a lot of new pokemon, i think it was digital spy who tell about the wealth of new pokemons. And people talks about 100 new pokemons inside the game.
I hate the fact that Grass-type got sidelined again. Fire- and Water-types are in the Elite Four -.-
But Grass-type has one of the coolest gyms ever! 😀
It’s really strange. In the national pokedex we don’t have a pokemon triad like the regis or legendary birds in this 6th generation.
Lets not forget event legendaries
Also i think generation was built around mega evolutions and fairy types
So…anyone knows who the pseudo-legendary of this gen is? Noivern? Goodra? Someone else?
I think it’s confirmed that Goodra is the Pseudo-legend of this generation.
Do we know its type yet?
Pure Dragon.

Thanks!
personally i’m not one of those guys who love getting leaks cause it takes the surprise & fun away. but i’m always up to know the final typing of the pokemons i’ll use in my party (it’s an OCD thing lol). mind you that i skipped the explanation and silhouettes of the starters final evo (again, it’s an OCD thing) :p
Chespin got screwed with its final type. It should have been Grass/Dark. Flying type attacks are going to destroy it.
5 weaknesses is better than having 7 weaknesses.
Grass/Dark is 4x weak to bug.
Allll the spiky shield
Anyone else feel like they dodged a horribly designed bullet by deciding not to choose Froakie?
just like in gen 4, the new evolutions of older pokemon did not have a regional dex number in the original games, but they did have a national dex number. Of course, in that case, all the new evos were listed before the legends, but they might just decide to put all the evolutions AFTER the legends here. I dunno if its wishful thinking though :/
who’s the pseudo-legendary of kalos? is it goodra or noivern? goodra would be the only pseudo-legendary to have a single type. and i think noivern looks pretty badass. hoping to have an evolution of noibat before noivern or an evolution after noivern.
noivern is right before xerneas isnt it?
yes. but it hasn’t been confirmed if noivern is a three-stage pokemon or not.
yeah but that rules out the possibility of noivern being middle stage… anyways it looks too badass to only be a Gabite or zweilous xD
Anyone has see Zygarde, the legendary Z pokemon? What you think about it?
I think its ability is a bit of a waste, being useful only against Xerneas and Yveltal. Otherwise, it has a Stat par Kyurem, which is good.
And Reshiram and Zekrom!
