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.

Hello NLque
Hello
Thank you! 😀
Yay! And I like your new avatar NLque!
Thank you 🙂 I like your’s too.
Instantly starstruck with your friendly comment, but you should thank Jordin for making mine 🙂
:lol
Yes!!! also they should do a poll on October 12 on “Did you get Pokemon X or Y” please.
just make sure you have a both option!
#Delphox

Mothafuckin lika a boss
That was pretty amazing.
I nickname my pokemon for lets plays only
I nickname if I can find a clever one. I din’t name my Magnezone because I couldn’t find a clever name.
how about magneto or soundwave or shockwave
GRENINJA.
Im gonna have to think of a name for him that means something along the lines of “Surprise” xD cause that was hilarious!
What about…Revelatio?
I like that
Just thought about the name Presto
xD it sounds french
Sounds Italian, French are too busy ignoring the last letters of their words to include an “o”.
I shall name my Froakie Bubba. Because that’s an awesome name.
how about sasuke so then either infernape or chesnaught could be naruto
I oddly always say braixen and frogadier dating and quilladin as braixens little brother or the other starters goof ball friend
Still a better love story than Twilight…
true
That’s barely even subjective.
Oh my gosh I hope that rival love story is true! I can’t emphasize enough how much I want that! 😀
Guess what? Those were real! They were recaps from the leaks!
YAY!! 😀
It’s a nice story, but if Braixen would snub Chesnaught for Greninja all the way!
How ironic, a Fire type just got burned.
lol ironic it is
Chesnaught to Braixen and Frogadier: “LMAO do you guys even lift?”
I don’t know how it happened, but this just changed my mind about getting froakie over chespin. #teamchespin all the way!
Thanks! You strengthened my love for Chesnaught!

I don’t see anything.. :p (yes, I refreshed)
It’s genderless because it’s MEWTWO!!!!
male I hope and handsome XD
Sycamore?
No. The dude that said- “The…flower…pokemon…”
This whole concersation has more comments than all my comments combined from DivaDevotee to here PJ.
Excusemwha?
Can you read that now? lol I was typing so fast.
Does Chesnaught learn Hammer Arm? or Superpower?
Chespin learns Hammer Arm but I don’t know about Superpower.
Oh, ok. Just wanted know.
I CANCELED MY PRE-ORDER!!! ONLLY 70 POKEMON HAHAHHAHAHA 3 LEFT TO GO AND THE REST ARE OLDIES!!! LEAKS ARE ALREADY CONFIRMED!! X/Y ARE BOOOOOOOOOOORRRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Gen IV only had ~60 new pokemon that weren’t legendary and weren’t connected to older pokemon..
You are telling us this because…
Because he/she is Tootles.
Tootles he left the corner he supposed to be standing and facing *sigh*
Aren’t you somebody that we use to know?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gutCFMc5khY
Gligar13Vids?
Not that asshole, please, anything but that.
Haha ikr that guy is such a douchebag
Seems fake to me.
“What goes around comes back around. Hey my dolly. If you, only knew how much it hurts then you would understand why what you just said was IDIOTIC!”
THE IDIOTS ARE THE ONES WHO THINK THIS GAME WILL BE THE SECOND COMING OF ARCEUS!!! MORE LIKE ASS-EUS!! I’LL SHOW MY POPS THIS WHOLE THREAD I’M SURE HIM AND GAMEFREAK WILL GET A KICK OUT OF THIS!!! LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSEEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Go away please. Nobody loves you. Or agrees with you.
ASS-EOPS WHAT A BITCH!
Is the word ass all you know?
Wow. You must have a life
yeah okay because people actually care that much.
except they don’t. as for your “pops”, he’d probably think you’re an idiot.
seriously,
are you twelve? thirteen? seems about right. kids like you need the
internet taken away, because obviously you don’t know how to behave.
you think you’re cute.
you’re not.
You are talking to yourself…
It’s a glitch for guests.
Oh hmmm interesting
WOW DEFAULT GUESS AVATARS ARE CHESPIN DUMBASS!!!
Okay, everyone ignore the shit outta him. And dislike the shit outta him too. He deserves to burn.
Agreed, for rivals we think alike…
How does this make me dumb for telling me something I already know? You sir are making yourself sound stupid you should just hush your mouth 🙂 Thank you.
do you need a hug?
He doesn’t deserve one. Just wait for the admins to IP ban him.
Get’em!
It is a glitch for guests. It is someone else trying to defend me and Prince Azulon.
Ok. I see
it is a glitch. never in my life would i want to be Tootles. i’m happy being in my 20s and not an immature, stupid little punk. refresh and the names will fix 🙂
You should get a real Disqus account. I would love to have friendly conversations with you.
yeah make an account
You should. It’s more convenient and you won’t get confused for other people.
MY POPS IS DEAD!!! HE WORKED FOR GAMEFREAK AND IM VISITING IS GRAVE LATER TODAY!! I GET ALL THE LEAKS SWEETHEART!!
If your “POPS” is dead then why did you say you will show this to your “POPS”?
I SIT AT HIS GRAVE EVERYDAY WITH MY LAPTOP. HE DIED IN A CAR ACCIDENT AND MY MOTHER LEFT ME WITH MY COUSINS…HEARTLESS!!!
The Heartless person is you -.-
WHAT SHOULD I DO ABOUT IT?….
Maybe get a heart transplant, from someone that’s preferably a lot more mature.
He’s a Heartless quick someone get a Keyblade!
im just saying you were lying on your dead “POPS” i am sorry to hear that.
P.S your caps lock is on…
I think the button broke from using it so much.
Most Likely, I’ve been meaning to say this but i love your avatar to the max!
I love yours too! It’s so intimidating!
Thank you :D. i would love one normal Wurmple with Shades and looks kind of angry. I would love that type of avatar
Oh and sorry lowering your attack…
I don’t get why he calls his dad “POPS” I think of Pops from Regular Show, and say to myself,” Pops is way to friendly to have this kid.”
XD Its true though Pops is an amazing person… too amazing for him
I would love to have a granddad like Pops. I didn’t get to have much fun with my grandfathers, since the both died from cancer when I was at a young age. ;_;
NOBODY TALKS TO MY RIVAL… (calm) Not like anyone cares for what you say at all, why don’t you go back to your corner where you belong Tootles.
Go before your butt gets burned.
PRINCE ASS-ULON BAHAHAH!!
Wow, real mature of you
Remember back in January and February, when we thought Chespin could become Grass/Ground and Froakie would be Water/Flying?
Never can predict, can you?
I heard Froakie would Water/Ice or Water/eletric
they were saying that it may be waterice because of that move.
(image below)
Nope. All I remember was Chespin being Grass/Dark because we though that move it used in that trailer was Night Slash. I also heard Froakie was Water/Fighting because of the attack it used. Then Fennekin because of the move it used. Then people found out it made a perfect combination so we went with that. The Pokebeach rumors came to perfect that idea. Until they edited it to get some attention off from Nintendo.
Really glad there is a nice lengthy post game
source?
http://www.gamespot.com/pokemon-y/reviews/pokemon-x-y-review-6415303/?page=2
and masuda said it a while ago
oh ok didn’t get that
thanks =) I was really worried about that
Me too, but they said something about rebattleing leaders?
M E T O O
I want a post game similar to B2/W2. Those games postgame was amazing.
Can u rebattle gym leaders
Hopefully.
One of the guys said after post-game the game gets harder so HOPEFULLY.
I didn’t like the levels going into the 60’s in the post game of B/W. I felt like that was rather hard for Pokemon in late 40’s and early 50’s.
Apparently in the Japanese XY you can crossdress your trainer, while in the American version you can’t.
That’s racist.
…………….. ummmm not really
It’s not raciest it’s just that the US can’t accept equality.
EXACTLY!!!!
I think that was a joke..
It’s funny xD
long live japan.
I want to see this xD
http://i.imgur.com/rKQHFgr.jpg
Well. It’s a joke. XD / When your a male character they block out female items! When your a female character they block out male items. Japan is the best!
At least i saw some pants options.
I want to be a tom boy sometimes ;~~~~;
unfounded rumor. pls. we wouldn’t even know bc japan hasn’t broken street date.
Is this a joke?
Probably.
Yeah.
@NLque:disqus are you gonna post Pokemon Get TV livestream today?
I thought that was moving’s job!
Well, whatevs.
Was there any leaks since this article was posted? I don’t really have time to search through…
Nope.
Nope, leaks come around 9:30 PM EST
6:30PM PST?
Yup
Probably during Pokemon GET TV will get some news as well xD its the last episode before the release
Just tell me how many hours left (since it’s Xh30 depending on the timezone and you say it starts at 9h30PM).
Thanks everyone 🙂
What’s that in GMT?
2:00 Am
FUUUUUUUUU
the leak is dead???
Josh went to work.
a few player just leak why thats the big qustion ?
Nope, leakers have lives too
Amen Chippy/Chippewa
warrior break
I just realized that the team I constructed kinda represents the Triforce.
Power: Noivern, Aegislash
Wisdom: Gardevoir, Aurorus
Courage: Greninja, Venusaur
HYRULE CUNFIRMD
Majora’s Mask 3D CUNFIRMD
YES YES YES YES DO WANT
I prefer Majora’s Mask over OoT. Mainly because of it’s darker and deeper plot 😀
Do you mean Majora’s Yamask? 😀
Ocarina of Timburr
HA XD
POKEMON ZELDA CROSSOVER CONFIRMED!
You sir, just made my day. And it is 12:00 PM here. You won life my kind sir.
I prefer Ma’am……. xD
If you don’t mind
Oh my bad! So so so sorry, ma’am.
Its no problem 😀 ~
Warrior/Mage/Thief?
I like how your team is a nice mixture of beautiful, brawny, and quirky pokemon.
Yeah, I like it as well. Definitely not changing it 😀
Opinions on Callum/Serena (the gender you don’t choose) falling in love with you?
Uh… is this true/unconfirmed?
Its confirmed…as far as I know
confirmed by an italian reviewer
I hope she doesn’t break up with me for beating her.
no she’ll call you BAKA xD but japanese version only
Cute xD but So far i think Cristoph was cuter.
My boyfriend got a little scared when i joked i was getting another boyfriend xD
it’s a cute idea.
I think it’s awesome I love the sidequest in bw2 with that little hint of a love story and now to actually have one is really interesting 😀
Maybe it has some benefits like to get special items or pokemon from him/her
It’s Curtis/Yancy all over again from BW2. But this time, it’s not during a side mission!!!!
Since the recap from yesterday’s leaks mentioned the Rival/Protagonist chemistry, I want it to be like Ash and Misty.
Soooo you want it to lead nowhere and somewhere around the middle of the game the other gender disappears forever?
I want it to be like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ggaIHoJg6IY
I can never get enough of that! XD
Yeah and they never mentioned her again and explicitly said she won’t be returning… So still completely pointless XD
No to sound like a stick in the mud, but I’m pretty sure she meant with other people.
And where their chemistry is mentioned in a movie (2000), but never again after that?
Read this: http://kalos-pkmnacademy.tumblr.com/post/63175376908
That made me cry a little bit inside.
Me too. We should have an article dedicated to just Pokéshipping! That’s where our thread should be!
I always thought he was talking about Misty. But what if he was talking about Serena OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I think they just made up the Serena thing to make things more interesting. He was talking about Misty! 😛
I know. Serena didn’t exist at the time. But it’s still an interesting thought.
POKECEPTION!
I could only find a loop.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZKGJZt83_JE
I want it to be more sweet and cute like Lillipup love….
I still find it difficult to believe that Ash knew Serena BEFORE he met Misty! Heck, before he even got Pikachu!
Am I the only one around here that is dissapointed that Yancy didn’t appear in Best Wishes?
Are there any new leaks?
Whats the last leak you remember?
I think it was goomy’s last evolution.
Ageisword was revealed (doublade’s evo), and florges (flabebe’s evo) too, Trevenant was revealed to have 2 new moves, Forest’s Curse and Phantom Force (like dig, but a ghost type move)
I knew those so I guess there aren’t any new ones until later.
Isn’t phantom force basically shadow force?
Pretty much
So, if you could live im any pokemon region and town what would it be? (no kalos)
MIne would be sinnoh sunyshore
We would be neighbors! 😀
ha
Hoenn Sootopolis.
Hoenn Mossdeep 🙂
Fortree City in Hoenn. But if I lived in the pokemon world I’d be traveling all the time.
same here
Sinnoh, Mt Coronet (the music is ultimately badass)
Or Hoenn, Verdanturf Town
You beat me with Verdanturf Town lol.
Kind of funny how I choose my town based on music XD
Influenced me with my choice too heh.
Humilau City
I love the ocean.
That’d probably be my second choice.
Hoenn Verdanturf town!
Lavander Town. Because it’s my favorite town atmosphere, and I grew up right next to a Cemetery, so it’s accurate.
sinnoh i guess.
For some reason I picture me coming from Hearthome city
Hearthome City. Thats where I always saved in Sinnoh
Sinnoh but idc for which city i would be happy anywhere lol
I would totally be Hoenn Lavaridge. :3 Those hot springs would be amazing.
I’m still confused about Pumpkaboo…
I’ve seen TWO different colors for it, yet I haven’t heard anyone talking about that.
Is the purple/pink one shiny? Honestly, that’s the only thing that makes sense.
It’s too legit to be photoshopped.
http://i.imgur.com/690nEwu.jpg
http://i.imgur.com/42WkwsF.jpg
those are the same color……..
I don’t see a difference in color..
It’s different lighting.
Someone’s colourblind. Hahahaha.
I’m not colorsblind, believe. I also have 20/20 vision.
The top pic shows a purple one, while the one in the dex looks black. You don’t see that?
I see what you are saying
Thank you! I’m not colorblind. I know I see a difference.
It also would make sense for the regular one to be black and orange, the colors of Halloween. Although, Pumpkaboo’s pumpkin half is only slightly orange/peach. The “shiny” version looks purple and pink to me.
Yup that is what I see
The top is black with image glare.
Are you sure you know how image glares work?
Top pic definitely looks purple while the bottom pic clearly looks black. You really don’t think top pic is a possible shiny?
I do. But it’s very minute could be the lighting.
If anything I hope it looks more orange in person since pumpkins aren’t pink
I think that is probably an effect of light when the pic was doing. Also can be a gender difference or the shiny one.
Guys. GUYS all the badges have been leaked! c:
http://i.imgur.com/cGagl29.jpg
whats the 7th one?
psychic type gym
Its psychic, don’t know what it represents
Oh sorry I meant 6th.
Wings and anything fairy xD
MUSHARNA!!!! I figured thats why it was psychic xD
More ornate this time round. 🙂
I like them! ^^
SOMEONE’S GONNA LEAK THE E4 NEXT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(why isn’t Kanpachi leaking anything rather than the Pokedex?)
After looking at the 6th one, do you think Diantha could be the gym leader at that gym? Diantha’s clothes and that badge resemble eachother.
That is a Fairy-type gym, and that could be a possibility. After all, she does have those wings on her dress (as you said).
kanpachi link?
Don’t have it, im following smogon, who have the kanpachi link..
http://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/pok%C3%A9mon-xy-leaks.3489007/page-101
Here’s a trend.
Grass type gyms always within the 1st 4 gyms.
Ice is typically saved for closer to the end.
Bug also in front of most gyms.
I want to know the gym leaders names. That’s why I like josh
Me too c:
I don’t want to know their names x.x nor their line ups.
Not sure how others feel though
ME too
We know the Grass-type Gym Leader: Ramos. But that’s all so far (other than the ones that have been announced by Nintendo already).
Bug- Viola
Rock- Grant
Fight- Korrina
Grass- Ramos
Electric- Clemont
Fairy- Valerie
Psychic- Olympia
Ice- Wulfric
😀
🙂
Hype!
where did you find this? and its kina sad that we had already seen alost all of these except like the barnacles one and a few others. and whos with me that skrelps evolution looks amazing!
I want to know what Pokemon the Ice leader has! I bet he has an Avalugg and a MegaAbomasnow!
kanpachi is back ?
yup
yup
That seventh badge looks AWESOME!! Actually all of them do.
like Musharna
BUG, ROCK/GROUND, FIGHTING (Mega-Evolutions that close), Grass, Electric, Fairy, Psychic (Can’t wait to see the puzzle. Psychic gyms always have the best in my opinion), Ice. Ice being eighth and no Dragon leader.
Second is Rock, it’s also seemingly something of a fossil gym, he uses both new Fossil Pokemon.
Thanks Sable.
40 HOURS!!! THIS GAME IS GONNA BE LOOOOONG!
I DONT CARE I LOVE IT!!!!
I know, that’s a good thing that it’s long.
Tee-hee. Like the male anatomy.
😀 (OH I SEE)
That is a little disturbing.
Prude.
I think he meant it as a GOOD THING.
I wonder if that includes part of the post game?
7th looks like Poison or something related to a genie
Psychic was confirmed.
I know, I’m just saying what it looks like
As in the badge
The Psychic-type badge looks like is has a “genie in a bottle” design./
Pretty nice. Dark-type Gym in Pokémon XZ and Pokémon YZ?
Sure. Any game w/ a Dark gym I don’t care as long as there is one.
The sixth medal is fairy? Is it confirmed?
So far what is your favorite X and Y pokemon and why?
Noivern, but I have no idea why.
i think that and tyrantrum are my favs. favorite starter is Greninja
flourges or goodra and idk why
Chespin because it’s adorable and turns into a badass.
You know it! #Teamchespin4ever
#CHESPINATORSUNITE
Yes Sir! #ChespinForTheWin
the treestump pokemon (it’s creepy) and florette
Trevelant! 😀
Trevenant. 😉
Dedenne
sylveon because it’s so cute and magical girlish xD
Tie, Greninja vs Noivern vs Talonflame. They all look beasty and fast.
Goodra and Greninja both of them are adorable BEASTS!
Greninja of course.
Delphox, fire/psychic!!
Tie between Chespin and Goomy
Goomy OFC!
pumpkaboo!!! ahh, it’s so adorable! and it’s october so i’m definitely in the mood for pumpkins!
As of right now, Yveltal, being the Dark Legendary I’ve basically been waiting for since Generation 2.
Darkrai is also a Dark legendary pokemon
Yes, but it’s not the Dark Legendary I’ve been waiting for,
Slurpuff and the pumpkin evolution. I don’t remember the name.
I love the pokemon who loo kinda odd like Claydol or Bronzong.
All of them! I’m so cliche…
Slurpuff, Avalugg, and Binacle so far. :3
I find something oddly appealing about klefki
Klefki is definitely something amazingly cute 🙂
what pokemon do you think ash and serena will get? write you’re lists here
I know will most likely get froakie.
*Ash
Yeah its essentially confirmed in episode titles that Froakie will be Ash’s xD
Serena will probably choose fennekin
Ash: all starters fletchling helioptile and goomy
Nah he won’t have an electric pokemon
Clemont will have helioptile
don’t forget pikachu has to be one of the six
He’ll find a Honedge, grab it like an idiot, get possessed and beat the league with his diamond sword-sword.
ash
froakie
skelp
flecthing
serena
fennekin
florabebe
meowstic
What if Ash and Serena both get meowstic, but each gets a different gender? c:
It would make things more interesting!
ash
pikachu, talonfalme, froakie, chesnaught, claucnher evo….
I think Ash might get Pikachu.
omg mind blown
Let’s not get TOO imaginative
I actually think Clemont will get chespin, because he had the most interest in it out of all the trainers who could OWN pokemon. And because of his bunnelby, we know he will not only have electric type pokemon, so its possible.
LETS JUST HOPE
Ash gets a dragon and a ghost pokemon
I want to see him train those soo bad xD
Another would be Psychic cause thats also a type he lacks of
I hope he gets all the starters! At least Froakie and Chespin.
and finally evolve a water starter!
YES!!! I’ve said it so many times to myself and others xD
lol
I think clement might get chespin so all of the main charaters uses a starter
Ash
Pikachu
Hawlcha
Talonflame
Froakie
Avalugg
Clawitzer
Serena
Fennekin
Meowstic
Goodra
Furfrou
Sylveon
Tyrantrum or Aurorus
We don’t have any split evos in this gen
hmmm not everything has been reveled yet
you could technically count meowstic as one, because they have 2 different movesets
well split evo’s are usually for older pokemon… and we don’t have ANY evolutions for older pokemon yet so they could all be coming later on. we must have hope
Here’s to hoping it’ll be like in Gen IV, where most of the old poke’s evo’s are in the post-game
I really hope so..
There is a rumored male evo for Combee but we have no proof it exists.
Plus we didn’t have any last gen and we had 1 in gen 4.
Pumpkaboo’s evolution looks like a mix between one of those epic holloween ghosts and a milotic with arms and legs. I’M IN LOVE WITH THE DESIGN.
i just wish it was orange …
It has legs?
Yeah. They’re tiny though.
Don’t know if you get the reference, but I said that it looks like a Hoohooligan from Mario and Luigi: Superstar Saga
lol
I was thinking of a cross between the Greek monster of the Cave and Milotic.
iT’S SO CUTE BOTH OF THEM though pumpkaboo is cuter
i want to see the “big” version of pumpkaboo’s evo :3b
thats is the one of my best … but i thought u r dont like weird creepy thing
