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.

Such a big week ahead of us before the release.
Its so far going good for me.
The villager i hate on Animal Crossing is finally moving away xD

so this guy has to be someone that we met hes too hidden lol
is the link suppose to be a plot or character spoiler?
yes
Can’t look then xD thanks for letting me know
Reminds me of a hobo
Hobo trainer class Confirm XD
me, too – particularly, a San Francisco style bum
Ghetsis’ long lost cousin?
or Ghetsis himself years later after having suffered his mental collapse as the end of BW2.
XDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
Posted that below 5 mins ago xD He’s “apparently” the champ – as yet unconfirmed
i know u did
Um, then why post it again? o.O
you make a point lol
i also wanted to post a picture i havnt showed a picture in awhile
Well ok, there’s just not a lot of point in spamming the same picture that was shown less than 10 comments ago, just scroll down a few inches and comment on that one xD
I’d like for this guy to be a reference to a previous game
brocks dad lol
I still *think* there will be mega evolutions for snorlax, tauros, hariyama, golurk, and zoroark…based on the image from pokemon bank. call me a conspiracy theorist!
Anyone taking both starters of the same type just because they like them? I’m getting Fennekin and Charmander, Fire/Psychic is an awesome combo & Charizard Y is epic
add pyroar and talonflame and go all out fire!
That’s the plan! And add my Victini from B2 post game gives the team a good boost
and download the torchic with blazikenite!
Yeah, forgot about that. A team with this much fire power boosted by Charizard Y’s Drought would rock double & triple battles
Chespin and Bulbasaur! I want dat tanky Mega Venasaur. >:D
The same starters I’ll use too in Pokemon Y!
How many new pokemon would you like to see. I would like to see at least 85 and like 15 evos and pre evos of older pokemon
you ,sir, just spoke my mind.
I would like to see 450 new pokemon. guess that’s a lost cause, though.
Haha yeah, that would be great
yea since they could be after the national dex
I hope the 89 pokemon rumour is true, plus 3 event legends for a total of 92 pokemon! For Mega Evolution i believe there’ll be around 30!
I’m thinking what this guy says. I forsee very, very few evos and prevos this gen, because Mega evos are pretty much taking up that slot.
it has been confermied dunsparce does NOT get an evo 🙁
I wanted an absol evo but atleast the mega evo looks cool
i wanted one to and iam not a big fan of mega absol
I’d like to see 95 new Pokémon.
Does anyone happen to have a direct link to this Josh leaker? Thank you very much in advance, denizens of the Internet. 🙂
Here’s the link: https://archive.foolz.us/_/search/tripcode/!xltmUpewoI/page/1/
Thank you, Afarr. Your mother should be proud! 😀
<3 😉
Is Goomdra’s typing been revealed?
Do you mean Goodra? And not yet, no. Although people are just assuming that it’ll keep its singular Dragon typing.
I want to see the female form
Goodra, right…my bad xD…i really hope to be a dual type…but it will be in my team anyways 🙂
so pokemon 666 who won the lucky bet
I think Vivillon is 666.
Trevenant.
how fitting considering the entire phantump line has creepy as hell pokedex entries
Wow.
has mawile been recorded in kanpachi’s pokedex yet? if so, which part of Kalos is it in?
I believe Mountain atm from the postbin info, but idk for sure.
I would think it would be in the Mountainous! Yet, this has not been official confirmed!
I’m thinking of sporting Delphox, Lucario (if one’s available), Florges, Gogoat, Aegislash and Noivern. Lucario’s overhyped, I know, but I’ll be damned if he isn’t useful for dealing damage quick.
Since Mawile got a mega, I would be happy if it got a pre-evolution, just to make its chain a little more interesting.
I don’t think we should make a pokemon with even worse base stats than Mawile
380 isn’t TOO bad. Happiney had 220 in base stats! My point is, a lot of pokemon have worse base stats than mawile. Why not one more?
That’s a baby Pokemon…. But Butterfree has lower stats, if I am correct..
what exactly would we gain out of a mawile pre evo? if anything, we needed a mawile evo, but the mega evo works too
what would we have gained from any OTHER pre-evo? I never liked mawile and if it has a good pre-evo, maybe I’ll like it a little more.
agreed
I want an evolution not a pre-evo I want GF to give it some love not some candy for a limted time :-p
I CANT WAIT ANT LONGER!!!! ILL GET THE MEGA STONES!
Can I please get a link to a picture of Aegislash? I just put it in my perfect team list, and I would like to see it again.
This is all new ones http://img33.imageshack.us/img33/6118/xbb7.png

There was so much potential for Honedge…oh well
I’m using Aegislash, whether it’s good or not.
Idk, for me, its not about its stats. I just kinda expected more from a pokemon that looked as beast as Honedge, thats all
It looks like something you would see in Zelda
You do know it can change forms, right?
Blade Form and, I think, Shield Form.
But it’s Blade Forme looks incredible…
(Refresh for image)
Hmmm..did’nt notice it used those things as its arms now..thats pretty cool
What happened over the last hour or so?
I finally organized my team, and I am so happy! Nothing news-related though.
My two starter Pokémon are decided… Shit is going to go down in Kalos.
(Refresh for image)
Greninja and Venusaur for me. I have everything planned out perfectly…
Well, as I’ve been around these parts for a while, I can see how OCD you are – haha. Your team looks amazing. I’ve gotta go with both my first choice when the games were originally announced (luckily he turned out so awesomely), and Squirtle which was my first ever Pokémon.
Yep, not going to lie, I am quite the extreme OCD freak. And the team I created makes me happy even with this fact, so that’s saying something. I wrote it down on a sticky note, so now it’s official 😀
I’m thinking to do the same too Greninja and Venusaur
Greninja so fits you!
Brofist! I’m getting them both too! Are you gonna use Talonflame?
this is what i have plus the torchic
Same for me 🙂 they’re gonna be best buddies
I prefer charizard instead of blastoise… Until then: http://i.imgur.com/fMs7MGY.gif
I thought they were holding an event at Nintendo World in New York where they got to play X/Y early from 12pm to 2pm TODAY the 5th!
I’m still heartbroken over the lack of a mawile evo….its bad stats is only reason it aint on my team
The minute they gave it a mega evo I kind of guessed this was coming ;__;
assuming you don’t automatically go first when you mega evolve your pokemon, you can get mawile to learn sucker punch so it moves first to mega evolve and then it will get its stat boost in def., sp. def. and atk. because of it getting the ability huge power
… I just noticed something stupidly amusing in the coastal dex.
http://pastebin.com/B6PyQy2Y
I was just looking at the empty space before Lapras, and envisioning a Pre-Evo, which made me think about Kangaskhan, and look at it, and of course, there is no space before it… But there is something before it. Cubone, and Marowak. Before Kangaskhan. Well played, Gamefreak, well played.
I better have my Lapras pre evo 😀
Maybe gamefreak decided to put a relation between kangaskhan and marowak
wat is between sawk and nidoran in the coastal pokedex
Thro I believe
throh is already before sawk
No… Throh’s before Sawk.. and there’s so many open spaces…
Actually it’s just 5 spaces
maybe a new 3-stage and new 2 stage…but, not really holding my breath.
possible evolutions of oldies?
maybe a zoroark evo
zoroark looks like the final form

I am so freaking happy about my team, that I feel like drawing some fanart of all of them together, with the trainer between them.
You can also have video with them when the game comes out! 😀
Oh I’ll do something with them 😀 I’ll turn them into super skilled Lv 100 brutes!
Don’t talk about Brutes to me, I am terrified of that word ever since playing Amnesia…. But Lv. 100 Pokeymans would be awesome!
I don’t know if anyone’s seen this but….this is your mom in the game..
http://abload.de/img/13809935550507zqq4.jpg
I posted that yesterday! ;D
I know! Uggh I wish either her hair was longer or she had an apron
depending on the skin color it will be different
Dem Yoga Pants
Our mom is the mom that break all molds xD
She don’t conform to woman law
Dreadlocks better be a hair option in the game…
