More new Pokémon…?

Currently there are several Mega Stones that have been found, but the Pokémon has not: Druddigon, Heracross, and Galvantula. Profilic Pokémon Black & White leaker “Hiro” also said that Scizor would be getting one too. A legendary trio could also surface in Kalos as well as unseen downloadable Legendaries.

What do you think? Are you OK with the smaller number of “new” Pokémon? Do you like the concept of Mega Evolutions and their role in battles?

  5. I thought Druddigon, Galvantula, and Heracross mega stones were unconfirmed? There’s been no photos of them in the bag at all, unlike Aerodactyl’s mega stone. Plus, I recall hearing that Heracross at the very least seems to have been found by at least one leaker?

    And hasn’t Hiro said a few wrong things about this gen so far too? I mean, I bet we’ll get Mega Scizor simply because it’s popular and already a really good pokemon, but I don’t know that Hiro actually knows anything about anything this gen.

  7. Oh, an opportunity to be the Top Comment: I applaud GF for their creativity with these Pokémon and appreciate the low ammount. It means more generational variety in the games!

  11. You guys forgot to put 3 more pokemon: Noibat (Noivern pre evo), Zygrade, and Mega Gardevoir. This is the complete list I found from serebii. A question though, iff bubblix is fake, what make you guys think that it is? I mean, the layout is the same with the other leak, why do you think they’re not fake but Bubblix is fake?

    Reply

    • The Bubblix screenshot has inconsistencies, besides the poor grammar in the Pokedex Entry, the Dark Symbol marker is completely the wrong color, extremely noticeably the wrong color, it’s just black, where it’s always been a dark brown. As far as everything else, we’ve been seeing them in more than one screen shot and one pose, we’ve been seeing in battle, different angles, Bubblix was always from one shot angle, on top of the other things that are wrong with it..

      Reply

    • Bubblix’s Pokedex slot (in the region that the fake screen says it is in) is taken by Krookodile.

      EDIT: Also, the other leaks came from reliable sources. Bubblix came from a random /vp/ user.

  14. Small selection, but a good one. There’s always heaps of filler I’ll likely never use anyway, so as long as there’s some quality ‘mons in there (and there really are some quality ‘mons), I’m happy. Hoping for a few more cool megas, though.

    Personal favourites? Chesnaut, Greninja, Dragalgae, Clawitzer, Tyrantrum, Goodra, Klefki. Least favourites? Armomatisee, Gourgeist, Avalugg.

  15. I’m not gonna lie and say I’m happy with it, would’ve liked there to be 100 Pokemon, but ya know what? I’ve managed to make a team for both X and Y with no overlapping types, so I’m good
    And I do like a lot of the designs so I’m not that bothered

    Reply

  17. Yeah I’m more than happy with this amount of Pokémon. We already have hundreds of awesome Pokémon available to catch and train. Most of the older Pokémon outshine the new ones in 3D anyway. Less is more, and given some of the designs of the new Pokémon, I’m glad they didn’t try to make anymore. Could have gotten ugly. No need for filler.

    Reply

  18. From what i see generally everyone like for the most part, all of the pokemon.

    Keep in mind that its speculated that both this game and B/W were worked on at the same time. So some of B/W’s pokemon could of been thought of for Kalos.

    Reply

    • Yeah I mean last gen I liked maybe 10 or 20 of all the pokemon and was indifferent about most, but this gen there is only one pokemon I really hate.
      At least to me it is a huge improvement

      Reply

  19. *Refresh4pics* More pokemon to ride, new cool move and team flare admin (with glorious 3d model may I add ^_^) Sorry if they’ve been posted already 😮 Anyways I’m actually fine with the new amount of pokemon this gen after the huge amount we got with Gen 5 this kinda balances it out, and the pokedex is huge anyways (around 450 all three?) and there’s so many new features when I get the game I shouldn’t really be thinking about how many new ‘mons there are 🙂

    Reply

  20. I’m slightly disappointed with the number of newbies, but X and Y have had so much work put into them; the models, the social features, battles, customization, it all makes up for the small number of new pokemon. It makes it seem like a completely different game. I would’ve preferred about a hundred or so, but after having so many new ones for gen 5 it would be difficult to think of a lot of new ones so quickly. If we do get Hoenn remakes in the next year, I would hope that with the coming of gen 7 we will get A LOT more than this.

    Reply

  21. Why you guys think that the new pokemon are only those in the list. I’m sure there’s a lots of more and Nintendo wants us to explore and find them by ourselves.

    Reply

  22. A little underwhelming but I’m happy as long as we get a handful of evos for old pokemon in the national dex (like in Generation 4).

    Reply

  28. At first, I was really annoyed at GameFreak about the low amount of new Pokemon. But after thinking about it for a while. I rather have 70 well designed Pokemon than 100+ Pokemon with forgettable filler Pokemon and useless pre evolutions. Look how popular Goomy’s evolution line has gotten before the Games have released! Though I do think GameFreak went overboard with mega evolutions.

    Reply

  30. I think practically all the new designs are awesome, but the number of pokemon still bugs me, especially when I realise it’s less than HALF what gen V brought. Here’s wishfully hoping for loads of secret evos, a few cool secret legendaries and a bunch of regular pokemon hidden in the games code until their availability in Z. But realistically I just hope we don’t get such a low number again.

    Reply

  31. Just working out that their’s only 35 evolution lines this Gen including standalones really urks me, but the fact that the Pokemon this time around are all great, I don’t really have a problem with 70.

    Reply

    • Nintendo of america threatened to sue Serebii when it leaked Black and White pics back in 2010. That’s why they’re not leaking anything unofficial now.

      Reply

  34. Guys, the number of new pokemon should’t bug you, because we have mega evolutions and all the designs are epic. in Gen V we got 100% and most of the designs were lazy or just bad.

    Reply

  35. If you don’t count legendaries there is only 1 new Ground type (Diggersby) 1 new poison evo line (Skrelp and it’s evo) and 1 new bug evo line…

  38. While the original image was made by someone on 4chan or something, that particular image is made by me (s2daam @ serebiiforums) ‘cos I took the idea and made it more cohesive imo 😛 But I don’t need any credit or anything :L

    Reply

  39. I really hope that houndoom gets a mega it will make my day!!
    I am loving the Pokémon we have and I guess I would prefer quality to quantity this gen I just wish we had more types (pure or mixed)

    Reply

  42. I’m actually pretty satisfied with all the new pokemon. they all look great and i’d rather have a small number of pokemon worth getting than a ton of new pokemon which aren’t any different from each other. and besides, with almost all the older pokemon being in 3d, I get to see all of my favorites in a new way 🙂
    i’m excited

    Reply

  46. Help me out people… Something in the math is not making any sense to me. Apparently Zygarde is number 718 in the dex and the last. That means that these 69 are the ONLY pokemon from the generation (besides event). While it’s possible we don’t have new pokemon, THERE MUST be a legendary trio right? how is this possible

    Reply

      • I am hoping the pumpkaboo line is quick enough for this attack to be over-powered! I just know it will be able to learn shadow ball!

        Reply

        • A potential problem is using this on a Pokemon that already has Shadow Ball. Then it will STAB Shadow Ball Pumpkaboo itself and that will make a mess of things.

          Reply

          • Ooh, hadn’t thought of that. Though, it shouldn’t happen TOO often it definitely makes the move more complex.

          • Ha, that was my first thought. I was like “Here you go, a type change! It’ll make you KO me easier!” 😛

  49. I like almost all of them,there are a couple of them that are just hideous looking to me (I’m looking at you binacle, you certainly look like a Telefang Denju), and as I see it, when a Gen introduces few pokémon (like Gen II) those gens are the most awesome ones; I bet this Game has aftergame pokémon that haven’t been discovered yet and about the legendaries, The fewer, the better Because that gives the new legends more depth and presence, there’s no need for “the legendary of apple pies or the legendary of hand sanitizer” (*ajem* phione and manaphy) thingys.

    My only real disappointment is that neither Heliolisk nor Pyroar got an evolution, but that Poison/Dragon Pokémon is gonna be in my team 😀

  50. Josh just mentioned that he could have seen the Legendary Wolf. If it turns out to be an Ice type, then kudos to the Pokejungle staff on the article from a while ago.

  52. GF why you no make Bug/Dragon Pokémon?! And turning an old gen Pokémon into one via Mega Evolution doesn’t count!

    Reply

    • Too bad, because Yanmega would have been the perfect choice.

      The problem with dual-typing bugs is Ground attacks. If you give them Bug/Anything other than Flying, suddenly you have flying insects that are suddenly affected by earth tremors. It wouldn’t make any sense for Yanmega to be affected by Earthquake, and it also doesn’t make sense for Heracross to be affected now, since the anime and multiple other sources have shown Heracross using its wings.

      Reply

          • You never noticed the neutral sound effect? Also, if it was super effective against Scizor, the game would have said, “______ used Earthquake” “It’s super effective!”.

          • I rarely battle Scizors in the game and use Earthquake. It’s on generators like Pokemon Online and Showdown where I battle them the most, and I don’t always stare at the text to see what happened. At least it hits neutrally, which is better than some types do with Scizor. Anyway, at least I love carrying Fire moves on Pokemon to hit him with instead.

  53. I don’t see the problem with having only 3 new legendaries. There’s too many already. Do you WANT another pointless trio?

    Reply

      • I feel like the trios themselves aren’t redundant, but it’s the other legendaries that are.

        In Sinnoh I would have been fine with the Lake Trio and the Creation Trio, but then add the Moon Duo, oddly lonely Heatran, Manaphy and it’s useless kin, Shaymin, and Arceus and then it gets ridiculous.

        Unova would have been fine with just the Tao Trio and the Musketeer Trio, but the Kami trio just was completely redundant. Add in Genesect, Keldeo, and Meloetta and there’s a Legendary metagame all on its own.

        Kalos seems fine with 2 trios- the Yggdrasil Trio and another minor one. The trio Pokemon won’t be Uber leveled strong, but will be about OU strength.

        Reply

    • Define pointless. The Musketeers and the Genies were both cool as hell. The regional trio is one of the things I looks forward to the most.

      Reply

      • Pointless as in not having an effect on the plot. I have heard that they are good though competitively, and the movies do make me respect them. I was just thinking about the Regi Trio then. My mistake.

        Reply

        • The Regis are just odd. The anime depicts them as Legendaries some times, but then will occasionally just throw them in. Brandon has all three, which is just crazy, considering that he’s only one of two trainers in the anime to have any legendaries (Tobias, I’m glaring at you).

          Reply

          • I can’t decide which battle was more infuriating, his or Brandon’s. If Brandon would have used all 3 Regis against Ash, he would have swept him. Instead, he suddenly uses regular Pokemon for the first time. What? I wanted to see Charizard take out Registeel, Bulbasaur take out Regirock, and Squirtle and Pikachu work on Regice.

            Then, instead of using regular Pokemon that he must have used to catch Darkrai, Tobias sends out a Latios. What? I wanted to see what Tobias had, but that was just awful. In my opinion, it was even worse than Pikachu’s loss to Lucario. At least Lucario put up a good fight and Ash lost fair and square.

          • I honestly like Tobias, but I don’t like how TV Tokyo created him as a Deus Ex Machina against Ash. You know…Ash has finally defeated his ultimate rival and has achieved far greater than ever before. He even won a few difficult battles with Blaze Infernape (WHICH WASN’T EVEN MEGA!!!!). But Ash must always lose in the final tournament. What do we do?

            TOBIAS!!!

        • Yeah, the Regis were definitely a low point for regional trios, but the birds, the beasts, the lake trio and both of the gen V trios are all varying degrees of great, IMO.

          Reply

  54. Despite ther being only 69 new Pokemon atm, I don’t mind it one bit. There are a lot of new Pokemon I want on my team, and even the starters are the first time in a long time I want all 3 once more (only had that for gen 1 and 3). Also i go by this, Quality over quantity 😉

    Reply

    • Added in this gen has made the TOP 5 things I wanted to become a Pokemon too, them being Pancham (panda), Fletchling (red Robin), Tallonflame (I see it as a pseudo Pheonix), Tyrunt’s line (Motherf***** T-Rex :D), and Hawlucha (a stereotypical Luchadore Pokemon :D) lol

  57. Am I the only one who doesn’t have my whole team planned out? I have:

    1. Greninja
    2. Mawile
    3. Chandelure
    4. Dragalge

    I still want to use a Psychic and a Flyer. Perhaps Sigyilph.

    Reply

  59. I agree with what seems to be the general sentiment: while there are fewer new Pokemon than in previous generations, I really like their designs and typing, so I’m okay with there being less of them. I kind of think of Gen 6 as a parallel to Gen 2, in that it introduces a smaller number of new Pokemon because it primarily builds upon the generation(s) before it.

    Reply

    • every second gen is parallel to each other for the most part, gen 2,4,6 being the gens that usually build upon old pokemon while having a few new concepts themselves, where as every even number gen is usually a pretty stand alone generation of pokemon 1,3,5 all had a large number of pokemon who could function on their own, the only exception was in gen three they had 2 baby pokemon, wynaut and azurill

    .Goodra
    .Trevenant

  65. i’n facing a major problem
    How will I do a Ground Monotype journey with only a Diggersby?
    I can’t use Zygarde since it’s a Legendary and only 1 ground type that can mega evolve so far
    and what about the alleged Ground/fairy type… does it exist? I NEED ANSWERS
    And there isn’t enough of the other types I specialize with I.E Fighting and Rock
    the only type that can be all kalos would be full on Fairy

    My goal is to become the Greatest Ground type Master!

          • Mine is Rhyperior!
            Rhydon was my all-star in the original Red
            but through my childhood most of my favorites consisted of Sandshrew, Diglett, Cubone, onix, Geodude and Nidoking

            Back to Rhyperior
            Rhyperior is a over-sized powerhouse that can literally shake the foundation of every opponent and crumble their chances of victory, my Rhyperior took several Earthquakes and barely flinched

          • all the time, but I never give up, nobody said I didn’t lose a couple of matches due to type disadvantages

            But I won’t ever give up my dedication!

            although I did managed to defeat Misty in the PWT on a full 6-on-6

          • Not my question, but I think Swampert, Rhyperior, Krookodile, Gliscor, Mamoswine, and Hippowdon would make a great Ground type team.

          • I’d put in Gastrodon over Swampert for that Storm Drain neutering Water-types, but that does look good.

          • I’d say Garchomp, Gliscor, Mamoswine, Gastrodon, Torterra, Excadrill. 3 of those are x4 to ice though..

    • You have Diggersby, Dugtrio, Flygon, Garchomp, Golem, Quagsire, Krookodile, Hippowdon, Rhyperior, Steelix, Marowak, Stunfisk, Whiscash, Golurk, Nidoqueen, Nidoking, Mamoswine and Gliscor.

      I’d say use Diggersby and Garchomp for sure (because Garchomp has a Mega, which is new), and then take a pick out of what you haven’t used before? Idk man.

        But there was a common curtsey in the other threads that they would put what type of spoiler was going to pop up

          If this was a gym leader and elite spoiler then i wouldn’t be here.

          • It’s funny because I only saw one comment about aromatise and slurpuff. The rest were about the leaks.

          • I know! I’m fine with being spolied about pokemon and megas because I like to plan my team out but I don’t want anything else. I want to be surprised when I come across a gym or an awesome place because I haven’t seen them before. Stuff like that ruins the game for me before I’ve even played them

  81. What is everyone’s top 5 favourite Pokemon of this gen so far? Mine is Klefki, Goomy, Pumpkaboo, Chesnaught and Floette!

  82. Idk I feel like they just shouldn’t have introduced mega evolutions and got more creative with making new pokemon instead. I would’ve loved to see what else game freak could come up with, or ken sugimori for that matter

  84. Pokemon turns 25 in 8 years. I have a feeling for the 25th anniversary Generation VIII will come out and will have plenty of evolutions to Pokemon of all gens so far. I have a feeling that Gen will have all the love in the world!!!

    Reply

  94. So just so everyone knows (and I think everyone does but still), Phantump evolves into Trevenant (have exclusive move called Forest’s Curse which turns enemies to Grass-Type) and Pumpkaboo evolves into Gourgeist (have exclusive move called Trick-or-Treat which turns enemies to Ghost-Type).

    Reply

  95. I play for many different reasons, but I have been getting into the competitive rankings, so based on all the info shown, there are some Pokemon nin Sixth Gen that would pose some threats. These Pokemon are: Delphox, Geninja, Aegislash, Slurpuff (Double and Triple battles mainly), Malamar (All of my yes),Dragalge, Tyrantrum, Aurorus, Hawlucha, and Goodra. However, there are some that could be useful in Competitive terms, but it’s not for certain yet. Those would be: Noivern, Avalugg, Heliolisk, Florges, Pyroar, Trevenant, Gourgeist (The Champion has one, so that’s saying something) Barbarcle, Diggersby, and Pangoro. Plus, didn’t we already confirm that Florges is Fairy/Grass? I’m pretty sure it is.

      • I’m just worried, because of the low number of pokemon. and I saw on a forum people talking about them “cutting back on the number of legendaries”. unlike a lot of people I actually like large numbers of legendaries.

        Reply

        • well Zygarde is #718 which is 69 above 649… and there are exactly 69 pokemon shown here. so it kinda does look that way except for event pokemon that would come after zygarde. sad though, I was hoping for beedrone!

          Reply

  117. If we were to have gotten 100 + new Pokemon I’m sure there would have been an oddball Pokemon. Who knows what we would have lost if it were for more new Pokemon. Maybe character customization? Pokemon-Amie?

    If there aren’t a lot of new legendaries, well than maybe they still have to be distributed or are unlocked by an event. Everyone complained about a lot of legendaries in Gen 4 and Gen 5. Now we have less and everyone still complains! Game Freak listened and they acted on what they heard/saw.

    Quality > Quantity a million times. I’m happy with the direction they are taking.

    • I don’t think many people are complaining about the lack of legendaries, I think I’m just in the minority for wanting more of them. I do think a lot of people are being a pain though by saying the starter evos suck.

    • Exactly, GF wanted to push the quality and overall scale of a pokemon game. The pokemon of a generation dont exactly define the quality of a generation.

      Reply

      • They really made up for it with the graphics and things they added like idle animations (e.g. stretching or yawning when standing in a place for a long time). Lumiose City looks amazing and the people actually walk into their houses and not walk back and forth. 😀

        Reply

    • Why do you think that is the case? We know file size of the games, and we know it isn’t taking up all of the space available. It’s large, but there have been larger games for the 3DS and it could have fit more things.

      I don’t understand the argument that there is this balance between new features and new Pokemon. Why would the ability to sit on a bench require that two or three Pokemon be cut from the roster. Is it taking up that much code?

      And sure you can’t please everyone, but this isn’t really an old argument. This is the first time ever we’ve had a new game with less than 100+, just 34 species. We’ve never been here before, and it undoubtably will result in a lack of variety in options.

    Reply

  126. but wateva happened to Froakie’s final evo being a Water/Fighting. That looks similar to a poison dart frog. The dark blue now takes over its body almost entirely. There are a few even darker (almost black) spots on his sides and face and it gains more of the bubble foam around its neck and down the back. It’s also a bit bulkier

    • Greninja is based of a Rouge (in other words Ninja) of Europe Lore. Rouges were dark and hid in the shadows! That’s why its Water/Dark! Same goes for the the other starters! Chesnaught is a Knight and Delphox is a Wizard! That rumor was false too.

      Reply

    • There has already been a water/fight frog so they wouldn’t make another. Plus frogs are quick like ninjas so it makes sense that it became a dark type because ninjas are quick and stick to the shadows

      Reply

      • so what if they make another one they got a bunch of electric rodents , dark type / Flying, etc …..why cant it be another water fighting frog and besides poliwrath is jus a big as tadpole. Ninjas are fast and sticks to the shadows yea i kno Im a Naruto fanatic but why it can’t be part fighting. What you think ninjas do they FIGHT.

        Reply

        • Mmm to me, ninjas are more like assassins than physical fighters. Unless you’re talking about naruto of course. And we have a lot of electric rodents because they want to include one in every game. And we only have 3 dark/flying types so I don’t see how that supports your point. I just think making another water/fight that is the same species as an already existing one makes poliwrath not unique. Even though it is pretty much a giant tadpole. But still

          Reply

          • Da point i was trying to make is same type n same species have been used multiple times b4. Pokemon who are unique could possibly lose there uniqueness later on.

          • i.e Honchkrow, Mandibuzz, and Yveltal are all birds as well as all dark/flying types. Krabby and Corphish are both crabs and pure water types. Meowth and Skitty are both cats and are normal type

  130. Is this a guarantee Ash gets Pyroar? He always evolve his fir type at least once and I’s sure Serena get Fennekin… Hmm I think I could see Ash with a Female Pyroar than a Male

    Reply

      • This is Ash NOT a meta game trainor, I’m sure he will use Talonflame as a more Flying type….. And get a separate fire type

        Reply

        • Trust me, he won’t.

          He’s not getting the other starters that’s for sure.

          The first 7 episode titles have been revealed already, and not a single one of them show signs of Ash getting Chespin and/or Fennekin. And it wouldn’t make sense for him to get them later on.

          He’ll use Talonflame’s dual type efficiently, just watch.

          Reply

          • No I’m Sure he will… Plus Pyroar has the Normal Type Talonflame is missing and he Always gets the grass starter… I KNOW my Ash Ketchum

          • You DON’T know the Ash Ketchum from X/Y, nobody does yet but I assure you, he won’t get one. Pyroar doesn’t seem like a Pokemon Ash would get anyway. I was surprised when he was getting Froakie.

            But if he doesn’t end up getting one, I assure you it will be a rotated Pokemon that doesn’t appear much like Palpitoad.

          • He always gets a water type that can move around on land. Never seen him with a goldeen or a horsea or something lol. So it was either Clawncher or Froakie. Gotta say Im down with Froakie though, despite picking Fennekin.

  133. It seems many people still have a problem with paying for Pokemon Bank! When, you think about it, $5 a year to save your Pokemon is a small amount! Remember, X & Y releases world-wide. They have to get obtain a lot of money to keep the servers open and running (also, to save the large amounts of Pokemon). So, it makes sense why you have to pay! Also, the more money GameFreak gets, the better are Pokemon games are in the future! ;D

      Reply

    • The day Pokemon was announced was suppose to be a sad day for me. My boyfriend, whom I met online and been with for five years, had to return back home after a short visit for spring semester at college. It was literally our second week ever seeing each other in person. The day he was leaving, Pokemon Generation 6 was announced with the three starters. Him and I couldn’t contain our excitement and it gave us a lot to look forward to in the future. October seemed ridiculously far away.

      The advancement to 3D graphics stoked my interest considerably. The game looked completely new, as the series was starting to grow stale for me (my boyfriend too so we were both excited). Plus, as we are long distance, we could finally be able to trade and battle because WiFi works with our 3DS systems. As time went on, more information came out and us and our friends would all sit around and discuss every little detail that was announced.

      These leaks now are something else exciting…being able to see exactly what I’m looking forward to. Since I find reviews to be shit, hearing the perspective of another actual player is enlightening. My boyfriend and I love following Josh and I will miss him when this is over.

      I even dedicated a day off of work (Sunday…couldn’t give up Saturday) and am currently getting all my homework done for this week so that I can give my weekend away to playing Pokemon. I get this feeling that this generation will be the one to relight the spark that I felt while playing Pokemon as a little girl…not nostalgia, but a whole new adventure that I feel I am actually a part of, not just playing.

      I love the graphics, the little details they do like kneeling to talk to children and the wind blowing the grass and lighting effects, I like the idea of rideable Pokemon and I hope they endorse that feature later, I love the idea of Pokemon Amie because who doesn’t want to pet/smack their mons, and I love the idea of never knowing what you’ll find when you walk into tall grass. I’m not too keen on Mega Evolutions…but maybe it won’t be as bad as I’m thinking.

      Reply

    • Let me put it to you this way…there are now over 700 Pokemon and we are six gens in. If Gamefreak wants to continue this series, they HAVE to slow down on Pokemon invention. It’s either less Pokemon that are unique, or more Pokemon that are regurgitated and shallow. 70 Pokemon is still a large amount. People want 100…that’s only 30 more. I don’t understand how 30 more mons make any bit of difference between a great game and a lazy game.

      This isn’t taking into account Mega Evolutions, which are a new concept/gimmick invented to bring something more new to the table. Besides just megas, there are over 500ish Pokemon you can still catch in game. The older generations didn’t fall off the planet just because a new gen came out.

Extremely, Majorly looking forward to. Tyranitar has been one of my favorite, if not favorite Pokemon, ever since it showed up in Generation 2, and I thought getting a Mega Evolution, which makes sense from maybe helping to deal with his tons of weaknesses, would be extremely awesome. And as this looks very legit, I can get a good look at what it should look like. And oh yeah, this is exactly what I wanted. No one can break this high, FIVE DAYS GUYS, LET’S DO THIS THING.

    • Technically, the only one of those that really matter is the 600 BST. The other arent really “requirements” per se. Kinda like when one of the “requirements” was that they had to have attack as their highest stat but thats no longer the case.

      Reply

    • Since Pseudo-legend is a fanmade term, there is no official criteria for what is considered a Pseudo. The most Generally accepted criteria are a BST of 600, Slow Exp Gain, 3 Stage, high lvl evolutions, appearing close to legends in the Pokedex.
      The fact that all the previous one’s were dual typed could have just been a coincidence. Granted that was the one criterion I liked because it made Pseudo-Legends that much more badass (Goodra definitely should have been Dragon/Poison). But oh well.

      Reply

    • If there will ever be a trio in the games or in future games, I want this implemented in: The trio will be Fairy/Water type Mermaid Pokemon, all will run off when you meet them. BUT instead of finding them in the wild, you can only find them if you are fishing, surfing, OR if you use dive and go through the kelp. Good idea?

    I saw this and I was like… COME ON! People don’t understand that first I don’t know for sure if there are only 69 new Pokemon, that’s not confirmed and if that’s true so what!? Theses Pokemon are all great! And btw, this is the FIRST, the FIRST Pokemon game for the 3DS and it has a lot of new stuff, stuff that we couldn’t even imagine… I’m a huge fan of Pokemon since I was a kid, and one of my best memories was spending the nights with my Sceptile in Emerald and as far as I recall Ruby and Saphire didn’t had much game after you beat the league and Emerald like Plantinum was a better version of the first to games! The very first Pokemon games didn’t had nothing after Mewtwo and people are complaining about that now!?
    And making a game with more than 700 3D models, trying to appeal both the younger and us the older fans and giving new life to some of hour favourite pokemon of ALL time!
    This is the first 3DS Pokemon game and it has a lot to offer and I believe that the next ones will be better but this one is already awesome!
    You don’t grow up because you only loved the first Pokemon… You grow up because you grouw up with the franchaise, you grow up and Pokemon grows up with you, you change and so do they! growing up means still loving them and the changes and we also change!

          Reply

      • I completely agree. A few of those that were included in this game are great; a few not so…but that’s true of every generation. However, what made me really decide against buying any game this generation is that A) I’d have to buy a 3DS in order to play it, and the only other game currently planned for the system that I’d be interested in purchasing is the Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds; B) there are only 69 new Pokémon available, and the amount of differences between this generation and the last seems overkill in light of the scarcity of -new- species. None of the new ones are enough for me to think “69 new species is a bit sparse, but look at the quality of those we got given”; the trouble, really, is that none of them are so wonderfully-designed that they make up for the sheer lack of population. The other elements of the game, which obviously took a lot of planning and time to implement, also don’t make up for it; overall, while nobody would (I’m sure) buy a RB(G)Y-quality game w/ hundreds of new Pokémon and -not- feel short-changed these days, the thrill for most people in finding out about a new Pokémon game is that there are many, many new species available. What one can -do- in-game is secondary for most people (unless I’m way off-base in my reckoning). So…spending all of that time and effort on things like Pokémon-Amie, improving battle mechanics, and the like seems more like what might be offered in the second iteration games of a single generation – such as how Yellow advanced upon RB (and in Japan, how Blue advanced upon RG); how Crystal advanced upon GS; how Emerald advanced upon RS…etc. Instead of seeing second-iteration advancements, we see advancements in the first iteration – but apparently with the cost being an approximate 50% reduction in new species introduced. I like some of the mega-evolution designs, but effectively stating that an old Pokémon gets a new in-battle form (which is what mega-“evolutions” are) really isn’t a stand-in for a new Pokémon species at all. Clearly there were designers who sat down and rehashed old Pokémon designs, with the cynical intent being to snag old fans back into the franchise; why could designers not have spent as much time increasing the new output to 100 species? As a fan who -has- been w/ the franchise since RB…I can honestly say the focus on underscoring old species, rather than diversifying the overall Pokémon species bank as much as could have been done, has turned me completely -off-.
        In other words…I totally agree. I’m not buying any of the new games. Not because I think they’re rubbish, not because I think Pokémon is somehow going off in the wrong direction, not because I’m a bastion of the old ways and like Generation 1; rather, because I really wanted to love Generation 6 and the actual number of Pokémon therein has left me feeling like there’re 31+ species slots left unfilled.

    • It’s funny, because all of the people saying this are people who HAVEN’T played the game. All of the leakers I’ve seen have said that they really enjoy the game. Also, there IS a story. I have no idea what this person is talking about. People need to wait until the game is actually out before whining like idiots about a game they haven’t even touched yet.

      Reply

      • So…the solution is: buy the game and make sure you don’t like it before you feel assured that your initial perception (whatever it may be) was correct?
        That’s a good way for a company to register sales even when people have actually not felt so hot (again, for whatever reason) about the product they’re selling. People have every right to dislike something, just as people have every right to think it’s the greatest thing in the world. If you really feel so negatively towards those who dare criticise a product, that really says more about your inability to be objective and just say “well, it’s good by my standards. I can’t personally say I agree with their assessment. But then, they obviously don’t agree with mine. In the end, I’ll enjoy it, and they won’t. Carrying on…”

    • I remember Masuda saying that the game is actually pretty fast-paced and the battles feel more dynamic and less slow and boring to keep the players playing and stuff. 30 Hours is actually more than Kingdom Hearts 2 (which is pretty long) skipping cutscenes, which would be around 20 hours.

      I can’t say I’m not a little disappointed by the fact that we only have 69 new Pokémon, but, from what i’ve seen so far (haven’t spoiled myself apart from the starter evos), all of them are pretty well designed and mostly cool, with some exceptions. *stares at Quilladin* (That’s just my opinion, though.)
      The series isn’t 20 years old yet so the second “argument” is invalid.

      Fairy typing and changing Steel weaknesses, along with some changing in Paralysis, Ghost Types, etcetera don’t count as Metagame balance, then?

      Megas are a way to power up older pokémon and also give some forgotten ones a shine, such as Kangaskhan.

      The post-game is huge according to Masuda, so this person is WRONG.
      I’m okay with not rebattling gyms. Would be fun to do, but I rarely really feel like doing so. Buuut, would be cool to have it. Not really confirmed, as this person wouldn’t know anything about the game without playing it, and the leakers didn’t mention E4 rematches either.

      >No Story.
      Sorry for the “greentext” that isn’t really green but, seriously? I haven’t spoiled myself but people are actually saying this one has a story as great as B/W or even R/S/E, which was that great because it was the first game in which you actually had a greater role in it!

      >No 3D Overworld
      Again, sorry for the “greentext” that isn’t really green but honestly, this might be due to the size of the map, size of the file inside the cartridge, and a bunch of other stuffs including their time to finish the game before 10/12.

      3D Battles are only 1 vs. 1? Where’d you hear that? I lurked a lot on /vp/ and didn’t see Josh or the other guy mentioning that.

      Can’t you be happy that you’ll actually RIDE them and they’ll be useful and fun to travel with?

      I understand that this would be really cool, especially with the Pokémon-Amie feature increasing your bond with the Poké, and the 3D models and stuff, but maybe they had too much to work on or just wanted that to be an unique feature on HG/SS. Or the code would take too much space?

      LOOK AT ALL THE CUSTOMIZATION WE GOT? DO YOU REALLY CARE ABOUT NOT TAKING YOUR HAT OFF?

      The game wasn’t rushed out either, because they could of started developing it since BW2 release, and only announced it on January, or even started sooner. I don’t know. Doesn’t look rushed out to me.

      also I kinda like the one about the e4’s team not changing, but only if their levels don’t increase. I kinda thought the e4 in gen 5 had levels too high. but then again in gen 3 I thought they were too low, now Id give anything for it to be back that way.

  230. What really gets me is how people keep complaining about the lack of a certain type of Pokemon like it’s the worst thing in the world. Each generation has a different ratio of Pokemon types, and this one was just a little unlucky to certain types. Also realize that there are less Pokemon overall, so that’s less of EVERY Pokemon you can choose from.

    Yeah, this Generation has very few Poison and Ground types, but it makes up for it with a large amount of the types that have been neglected. Generation I had 3 Dragon types, while this one has 9… which is a whopping 13% of the Pokemon revealed. Likewise, we’re getting 5 Dark Types, and including the 2 preevolutions that aren’t Dark types (Froakie, Frogadier, and Pancham), they make up 12% of the dex. Fairy makes up a massive 17% of the Dex with 12 members and Ghost makes up 10% with 7 members. Darks, Dragons, Ghosts, and Fairy types (and their evolutions) make up a massive 52% of the Kalos Dex. That’s leaving ony 48% for the rest of the 14 types.

    Kalos is a region where magical events seem to be the key here, so unfortunately some types which prevailed in earlier generations didn’t get as much representation. Kanto had Geodude, Cubone, Nidoking, Nidoqueen, Rhyhorn, and other Ground Pokemon, while Poison got all 6 Nidos, several bugs, most of the grass types, and Muk and co. The earlier regions were dominated by the older types, while the new ones finally get a chance to shine in the new region.

    Also, if there were 150 new Pokemon, I could see people being upset by only 1 evolutionary line of a type. However, Gen I had only 2% dragon Pokemon, while the new Generation has 2.8% Ground types (4% considering Bunnelby sort of) and 2.8% Poison types.

      • Also, I do want to say that I don’t mind people like you who love a certain type and are disappointed in its representation- I love Fire types but I can’t fill a team with the new ones! I just don’t like when people act like it’s the end of the world. You’ve been great though EarthenWarrior 😀

        • I’m getting X and my favorite type is poison…

          Looks like i’ll be sticking with good old Bulbasaur as there’s no new poison types for me.

          I feel sorry for Bug and Ground fans as Diggersby and Vivillon don’t look that great.

          • Try trading for a Skrelp. I’m sure there will be a lot of people wanting to trade a Skrelp for a Clauncher on the GTS! And yes, Bulbasaur is awesome.

            In Gen IV, Fire Pokemon were completely ignored ingame- I think the only decent ones were Ponyta and Chimchar! I got over it, but it was annoying at the time.

  236. I’m so curious to find out Xerneas’s stats are and whether it has any other signature moves as I love it so much. Awesome week lying ahead, house of hades tomorrow, ritz on Wednesday, drama trip Thursday, Friday, well nothing, and then Saturday I will begin my amazing adventure into x and y with new pokemon which I am familiar with on a completely new region 😀

  241. Some questions.
    1. Is the Circle Pad set to Auto Rollerskates? If yes can it be turned off?
    2. Are there running shoes as well or do the rollerskates replace them?

    I’m just wondering because I prefer using the circle pad these days, but I’m not too keen on using rollerskates. It doesn’t appeal to me? But if they replace the shoes I guess I’ll have to.

  250. Remember those times during the stat leak of Black and White? Everyone were screaming and yelling because the stats weren’t balanced and some Pokemon were too OP? Well, why are haters over-looking that now? Each and every Pokemon on Kalos is distributed a given stat that is overwhelming because if you have seen those leaks, Kalos Pokemon are OP! To haters, you think of the most simple things and start an argument over it now you got your wish of having balanced stats.

    Reply

    • I feel your sadness. New evos and preovs are my favourite part of a new generation, with new pokemon being second.

      But look on the bright side – the Kalos regional dex (or 3 of them lol) is freakin HUGE, so you’ve got a massive choice for your team. And also, everything’s in 3D now. And it’s eyebleedingly beautiful. Also, Goomy now exists. So yeah…gotta take the rough with the smooth :3

      Reply

  281. I have thought of several reasons why the pokedex for kalos is rather small. The reasons are the following. Converting several hundred pokemon into 3D models took more time than expected so they decided kalos would be a smaller region. Option two is that kalos is only based on france though it is also semi-based on norse mythology, and for this reason I believed that they wanted to keep the pokedex to a lower number. option three is that they are probably playing several different dlc’s and for that reason they probably wanted to have some extra new pokemon in reserve for those dlc areas, because they known as much as we want a legendary trio we also want more content in the game. On a side note why didn’t they do a pokemon based on grape’s and on wine? france is a wine country.

    Reply

    • as much as I appreciate all the french culture in Kalos, alcohol reference would probably earn it a T rating, which is not an option for Nintendo

      Reply

    • I think the pokemon count decreased substantially this gen to make sure that the pokemon would work in terms of stats/moves and design. The fact that we have over 700 pokemon now is probably causing GameFreak to slow down and spread out pokemon across generations. Finally, I think that GameFreak was almost completely satisfied with the metagame in BW2, and didn’t want to change too many things.

  304. I just figured that I would do a little math to figure out how many Pokemon of each type is being represented. I made a post about a few types earlier, so why not do them all. Descending order below, do with it what you will:

    Fairy- 12 (17.3%)
    Dragon- 9 (13.0%)
    Grass- 9 (13.0%)
    Water- 8 (11.5%) (Loses a Water Type upon evolution)
    Normal- 8 (11.5%) (Loses a Normal Type upon evolution)
    Fire- 7 (10.1%)
    Flying- 7 (10.1%)
    Rock- 7 (10.1%)
    Ghost- 7 (10.1%)
    Psychic- 5 (7.2%)
    Dark- 5 (7.2%)
    Fighting- 4 (5.7%)
    Steel- 4 (5.7%)
    Ice- 4 (5.7%)
    Bug- 3 (4.3%)
    Electric- 3 (4.3%)
    Ground- 2 (2.8%)
    Poison- 2 (2.8%)

    At least all of them are better than Dragon’s 2% representation in Gen I.

            I hope for a RSE remake too, the cutscene in Emerald was amazing, I’d like to see what they’ll do for a full-fledged 3D game.

          • *the rayquaza cutscene happens* *Every single pokemon player in the universe drop their 3ds in awe* *Nintendo profits rise to the top*

          • You’re not a party-pooper, if anything your a party lighten-upper! Yes it was, seeing the first cutscene in a Pokemon game in 3D would feel amazing. Since this is their first 3DS game they aren’t so experienced with the 3D so hopefully the R/S/E remakes are in full 3D but is like Super Mario 3D Land.

          • What we really need is that shocking Giratina scene from Platinum in 3D. The one where he splashes the screen with blood (uh, darkness), cries out loudly, and then attacks the screen. That was sort of terrifying back in Platinum, and in 3D it would be AMAZING.

      • And also how they always make the old game remakes (or sequels in this case) have better graphics than the the two new games. Imagine, pokemon ruby and sapphire graphics better than the ones we have now!

        • I prefer the former 😀

          A guy in HG/SS said they were remaking a game but it was hard trying to keep the same memories and feeling of the originals.

          A guy in D/P/Pt said that he wished that he could go to the Whirl Islands and Bell Tower which later happened in HG/SS. He also mentioned he wanted to see that space ship from Hoenn launch. That has yet to happen! Could the spaceship launch in the remakes?

          • So awesome that it will never happen, lol.

            I’d just settle for an awesome cutscene of the damn rocket launching, even if nothing happens afterwards!

          • right!!! i always wonder what was the purpose of the white rock. Same with that house full of people in dewford island talking about there “trendy” words lol!

          • WHAT?!?!?!?!?(I’ve restart emerald 100 times and i always was able to catch feebas in the same spot within minutes lmao!)) i actually caught feebas by mistake and then out of no were i entered it in a beauty contest raise its beauty since it was ugly and discover a mitotic, milotic had this blue glow when send into battle and all of this happen when there was a hurricane going through my city… Thats why its my favorite!!!

    • YES! This is the only Generation I didn’t get to play, so I need Hoenn. I guess we’re getting this order then: X & Y > (Land?)Ruby & (Sea?)Sapphire > Z. Would be nice to have a gap in between X & Y and then Z.

      • The only issue is that Ash was seen battling Viola’s Vivillon with Pikachu and Serena was on the sidelines, and then it cut away to Fletchling vs. Vivillon. While it never did show Ash commanding Fletchling, it is possible that it’s either him using Fletchling or Serena battling Viola after or before him.

I’m not familiar with the electric types from past generations that are in the game so I may not be too much help. You could replace tyrantrum with heliolisk or maybe even magnezone if it’s in the game! And I know you seem to really like it so this may be out of the question but you could replace gardevoir with dedenne. The only thing is it doesn’t evolve and I’m not sure if will be able to hold it’s own on a team or even compare to having a gardevoir but it does keep a fairy type on your team.

    I do not think that this whole game was made as a fake to distract people. But do you think it’s possible these games are prototypes. As in they’re incomplete. That’s why there are less Pokemon, little post-game, and gap generation evolutions?

    I’m not usually the type to come up with conspiracy theories I just find something very strange here. GF has been going legendary crazy these past couple gens, why stop now? They are what fuel the TV specials and movies and they are very much needed for business and marketing reasons. Thoughts?

    • What I think happened is that the leaks we’ve had are where the leaker knew an employee and so their friend sold them the game against the rules, rather than the entire store. It seems like that’s what happened with Kosthedin.
      Also, why ship a prototype, lol

      • I don’t think they’re fake cause they look amazing !! I just think they may be incomplete. As in the programming wasn’t finished. He did say there were quite a few doors he couldn’t enter.

    • This is not a Far-Fetched idea, (bwuhuhu), but also quite unrealistic. The amount of planning, resources, and logistics needed to plan, implement, and conduct a “anti-leak Facade” would be unfeasible from a monetary and business standpoint. Only the most Adamant Prankster would do something like that.

      • k thanks for your input. Everyone told me I was wrong and in fool’s paradise when I said that Chespin would be the fighting and froakie would be dark, but my theory was correct so I’ll hold on to this one as well.

        Reply

    • That’s an insane theory, to be quite honest. There’s no possible way Game Freak would both purposefully design a fake, incomplete version of the games AND know exactly which stores to distribute them to. This sounds like something cooked up by a person disappointed that there aren’t that many new Pokemon and desperate for there to be more.

    • Noivern is sadly end game so its an instant no. If you want a good team, I say try to keep 1 type of each and no doubles. so Honestly I like your set up, but you COULD use a fire type, so I;d say add in Fletchling if your into it 😉

      Reply

      • I know I could, but I told myself I wouldn’t be super picky about type and just go for looks, I’ll probably do klefki if I find out more about it, so there’s at least steel, but gourgeist would be good too :/ ARGH

        Reply

          • Ok so in my recommendation, and seeing your set how about this: Froakie, Mareep, Gourgeist, Klefki, Litleo, and Aerodctyl (I know its old BUT its good now). So what you think?

          • Pretty good, The only one I’m not a huge fan of is litleo, not much for good fire besides the starter and I don’t like it either, lol, but I do like aerodactyl, I always have one for just in case in my games

  367. i come back and find a mega agron!!! more reason for me to get that pokemon bank and transfer my aggron from my black2 team!

    • Heliolisk- Will give you the coverage against water types that will destroy your delphox and tyrantrum (i know its dragon too and will take neutral but tyrantrum seems to be a letdown according to leakers) as well as stall your blastoise. Plus you can reap the rewards of Normal STAB for those early moves like Return and Take Down etc
      Aegislash- Gives you a defensive beast which at the moment you lack. Plus Ghost/Steel is a pretty decent typing and gives you excellent coverage against the new Fairy type which will attempt to destroy Tyrantrum as well as cover you against Psychic’s, Rock and other Ghost types etc
      Sylveon- The leaks are making the newest eeveelution seem like an absolute beast! Great defensive stats as well as a powerful special offence is an exciting combo and with it being Fairy type you can make great use of it against Dragon, Fighting and Dark types which you don’t really have any coverage for yet bar tyrantrum for dragons but thats risky since it also takes SE damage. Plus the dragon immunity is unique and will serve greatly in the E4. You don’t have to go with Sylveon as your fairy (Florges and Aromatisse could be valid choices) but so far it seems like it is proudly sitting atop of the Fairy monarchy and i definitely think a Fairy will round out your team nicely.

    • It’s MY theory that the leakers are only playing a beta version. But if they are the real deal then I guess this is all we have. They have the national dex and have done the math so this is real. But it’s quality of quantity so i don’t mind this.

        • Yes but i don’t believe it, no one puts that much effort into a fake …. you probably think i sound like a broken record though XD

          • The reviewers (while generally trustworthy) don’t seem to be too knowledgeable in the poké-verse. He might have gotten confused with Carbink.

          • Which is a Rock/Fairy, so they’re easily confused (just like Brock seems to be confused about what type of trainer he is, using many more Ground types than Rock ones).

          • I’m honestly happy with what we have though … I’m probably just coming up with this because I want to cling to the idea of a Dragon Eeveelution. It just makes logical sense after we had Sylveon and GF usually makes sense. Just 5 more days until we discover the truth though!

          • I’m a bit dissapointed with the number of pokemon for me isn pokemon quantity is quality. I not refer the design of the pokemon. I only train the ones i like, I’m not of that people who make a competive team. I try to make the more stronger possible, but I’m more of breeder. Training only the ones i like. 🙂

    • Team Y: You have quite a bit of Fire-Types! I could see Blaziken becoming a Fighting-Type user on your team! Also, Charizard being maybe the main Fire-Type! That defeats the purpose of Braixen. I would recommend just putting it away and using a Psychic-Type!

      Team X: Good Team! Yet, your going to need a Flying-Type!

        For Braixen, Drought from M.Charizard Y makes it an awesome special hitter (if I evolve it xD)

  373. I am not angry but I am also not happy. Need more than 60-70 new Pokemon for the transition to 3DS. It seems the story line is about mega evolutions which is boring. If I was in charge of a new pokemon game I would make sure to have enough new pokemon for variety, 2nd and 3rd evolutions for pokemon that need it. Can someone tell me the “real” point behind mega evo’s? I would implement mega evo’s in my game only if it changed it’s type and nature to really throw the opposition off, turn a weakness into a strength, only one of ur pokemon can megavolve per match so choose wisely.

  376. To people complaining about only having around 70 Pokemon, this is a great move by Gamefreak to keep Pokemon around longer and increasing it’s longevity. There comes a point where there are too many Pokemon, and that would probably be around 1,000.

    • Indeed! Although im disappointed (not annoyed) that there are not as much new pokemon this gen i think XY have really changed the way we will play the game, certainly the metagame, changes to typings and interesting new type combos mean monotype runs will be exciting and will certainly become more popular.

      • eventhough there aren’t that many if there were like 151 instead that didnt look as great as these but were okay how many would you use? and there were so manny in unova that not everyone has used so if you use those it will feel new.

        Reply

        • Exactly. A great example of making use of older pokemon that you may never have used will be those retyped to fairy…they may as well be new considering how much of a boost it gives them coverage wise. Plus with the amount of pokemon available it will be exciting to make a team using pokemon that have never been in a regional dex together before.

  387. My tentative team looks like this; I was trying to do an all-Kalos set, with one exception:
    1) Chesnaught

    3) Barbaracle (I said that if Binacle turned out to be real I’d use it on my team, and I’m a man of my word)
    4) Avalugg
    5) Klefki
    6) Goodra

    Thoughts?

    Reply

    • I love how your team starts of with normalish names and then the second half is gibberish sounding ones (Av-a-lug, Kleff-key, Goo-dra?)

      Reply

    • Chesnaught- Good solid typing with great coverage, you’ll just need to watch out for those Flying types!
      Charizard- With its new Mega evo(s) it is looking better than ever! The flying coverage will be great against the new grass and fighting types introduced and fire is a great all around offensive beast that charizards SP atk makes great use of.
      Barbaracle- Not a choice i would make but i respect your integrity! You’ll just need to watch our for the electric types that will try to thrash it with special attacks and of course the 4x weakness to grass types.
      Avalugg- Great choice, i really think the Ice type is underrated and this one seems like a great wall for the less mainstream types (poison, dark, bug etc). Plus it can hit dragon’s hard.
      Klefki- This is where i think you might want to maybe change up, the standalone Fairy/Steel leaves a little to be desired… its stats seem okay but are not great. Typing is fantastic but Mawile (with its new Mega evo) would probably do a better job but since you want to stick to Kalos pokemon then Klefki is fine. However you will really need to think about EV’s and the nature you are using in order to take advantage of its strong points.
      Goodra- This one i think really depends on one thing…X or Y? If you are getting X then i would suggest something else since Mega Charizard X will give you your Dragon Type and renders Goodra slightly redundant without its niche typing. Of course you can have more that 1 dragon type on your team but if you want a well rounded and balanced team its good to have as much coverage as possible. Goodra will fall to fairies where Mega Charizard X will not (thanks to its fire typing). I would suggest maybe Aegislash as a good coverage against fairies, psychics and ghosts. However if you are getting Y then Goodra could stand on its own as your dragon type however with Y you have the opportunity to get Dragalge which i think may work better for you as it can hit fairies which would try to destroy it. Goodra will obviously have the upper hand stat wise but Dragalge wins in coverage. It depends what you are looking for.
      Overall i would suggest:
      X: Chesnaught, Charizard, Barbaricle, Avalugg, Sylveon, Aegislash.
      Y: Chesnaught, Charizard, Barbaricle, Avalugg, Klefki, Dragalge.

      • That was an amazing breakdown. Id love to get your thoughts on mine xD If you have a moment anyway

        Delphox
        Tyrantrum
        Mawile (Mega)
        Trevenant
        Pangoro
        Then I was thinking maybe Clawitzer? Kinda up in the air on that one. I considered Blastoise but its only one Mega per battle right? I wouldnt have to mega evolve it buuuut…. 🙁 Id super want to lol.

        Reply

        • Delphox- Definitely an interesting typing but comes with a few weaknesses but more resistances to buff it up. You’re going to want to take advantage of its great speed and special attack so this will be your sweeper. Max its Ev’s in those two stats and work around a movepool that utilises both STAB’s and if possible a priority move if it gets one.

          Tyrantrum- Looking at your team i would perhaps suggest Auroris instead to give you that coverage against flying and ground types however if you want to stick with Tyrantrum then i would definitely suggest bulking up its defence and making use of its ability to power up jaw moves. Watch out for fairy type attacks and make sure you have a counter for them.

          Mawile- This of course is where Mawile comes in and it really is a great choice! That Steel/Fairy typing will work great against Dragons as well as other fairies. The mega evo will be a nice boost, just ensure you have a decent moveset with at least 1 support move to bulk its defence (id suggest iron defence) as this will give Mawile greater longevity. Hopefully it gets Moonblast and this will be your main STAB alonside Iron Head (unless a new steel move is introduced). Your main issue is really going to be fire types who will completely wall Mawile so id suggest rounding off your moveset with Stone Edge to take care of those.

          Trevenant- Very little is known about it yet so ill base it on type alone…interesting and provides you with great coverage against bulky water types as well as ghost and psychic types. Again watch out for fire types as well as other ghosts. Forest’s curse could be a really great move here if it gets it as it will allow you to wall SE types making them grass types. Hopefully it gets a move that will be SE against grass types to make full use of the curse.

          Pangoro- Definitely a solid choice! Great typing that does come with a few weaknesses but has the power to fight them off. Take full advantage of STAB moves and attack quickly, hoping for a speed boosting move and thunder punch to take care of flying types which will be your main issue here. Max out speed and attack and this will be your physical sweeper.

          Clawitzer- Definitely the right choice here if you want to stick to Kalos pokemon (which im sure you do), with moves like crabhammer and mega launcher boosted water pulse you will have some great STAB moves to take out those fire types that will be gunning for your team.

          A good balanced team with some good coverage…i would maybe consider Auroris instead of Tyrantrum though as it will give you better coverage against Flying Types that will go for Trevenant and Pangoro as well as ground types that will try to destroy Mawile. But it isn’t entirely necessary.

    • I really hope the next game’s text speeds are a bit faster and that they have a greater selection of starters. I loved how the first games did it, so I was disappointed when the new one dropped the personality test and the ability to get 15+ of the starters.

      Reply

      • Completely agree.. You have no idea how upsetting that game still is for me. I still haven’t got past the first few hours of the game yet. x_x the text speed and slowness of the game is driving me crazy; especially since I’m not even playing as a pokemon I’d pick in the slightest D: That was the best part of the first two PMD games [besides the storyline], the vast choice of who you’d want to be and what you’re destined to be through tests.
        I hope they bring that stuff back in any newer ones for sure.

        • I had to choose between PMD:GtI and Fire Emblem Awakening and I decided to try something new and get FE:A. I was sold on PMD until I played the demo and couldn’t get past the horrible text speed. I hear the story is great and I loved the first two, but I couldn’t bring myself to get it because it seemed to drag on slowly. I got Fire Emblem and am obsessed with it, but I wish PMD:GtI had a stronger pull.

  399. What really bums me out is how few of each type were released as well as how few two stage evolutions. Poison is one of my favourite types, and I’ll be definitely using Dragalgae but I’m disappointed that its my only poison option. Same goes for Bug (Vivillion) and Ground (Diggersby), neither of which I particularly love. I appreciate that I’ll be using my old favourites in Mega Form but its not the same as making new favourites.

    • I don’t believe so. Josh said that a random NPC just gives it to you without anything in return. Free lv 30 Lapras. which i found odd. However, since the street date was supposedly broken in Mexico, maybe someone will film it.

  524. guys! what if,,, nintendo want to release the pokemon games worldwide because they doesn’t want us to know the few number of pokemon! imagine that if it released at Japan first, then we would know about this earlier and causing a tantrum worldwide! so they want us to buy first, then only we would know, and by that time, we already bought the game, and whining will be no used!

    even so the game already leaks, so their plan kinda messed up

      And as for the mega stone’s there not stupid, there awesome, and if you don’t like them then just don’t use them, so please quit whining about them already, this goes for everyone who whines about it. The stones and the number of new Pokemon included.

      Hell I’m happy that there even ARE new Pokemon, I could care less weather threes 100 new one or only 70 new ones, I’ll happily welcome them anyway.

        • But just think though, the urge to see all of the official artwork will plague you and your willpower won’t be strong enough, you don’t want to look but you want to at the same time out of curiosity. You reach for the guide but hesitate, only to have the curiosity course through your veins and you grab the book furiously! Searching and searching through the guide you find what you’re looking for, the Kalos Pokedex. Getting the image of each Pokemon in the back of your mind you are furious with your conscience for making you look. Throwing the book across the room you go over to a corner and sob for doing such an act of spoiling yourself.

  565. Who is your favourite and least favourite dragon type?
    Here are mine:
    Favorite:Salamance I just love everything about it.
    Least favorite:Dragonite because I think its extremely derpy.

    Reply

    • Favorite: Hydregeon. Despite my inability to spell his name, I love how he is a Greek mythology reference.

      Least: Kingdra. He’s kinda cool, but I think all the other ones are much more awesome looking.

      Reply

      • Hydragon is pretty cool to he’s definitely up their in my list to. The only reason I dislike kingdra is because I don’t have fond memories of battling Claires one and I find it a pain to take out in the metagame.

        Reply

    • Favourite: Tie between Dragonite and Noibat. Noibat is just ridiculously adorable, and Dragonite is cheerful, yet perfectly able to kick-ass. Honourable mention for Fraxure and Altaria too.

      Least Favourite: Probably Goomy/Sliggoo? I don’t hate them, but they’re definitely the ones i like the least. Goodra redeems them but I’m not much of a fan. I suppose an honourable mention should go to Kingdra, always felt to me like they’d just slapped Dragon on because they could.

      Reply

        • For some reason cute bats are just my favourite things ever. Woobat was on my team from the instant I saw it, and same with Noibat really. Zubat isn’t cute plus he’s mega annoying so I don’t like him as much.

          Reply

    • Love many Dragon-types, so it’s hard to choose just one.

      For Sp Atk and movepool – Hydreigon

      For Atk and movepool – Salamance
      For design and movepool – Altaria, Flygon, and if we include 6th gen, Noivern and Goomy line.

      Least favorite Dragon – Druddigon. It’s a stand-alone “WHY?”
      I haven’t trained one, so my opinion may change.

      EDIT: Idk why I thought of ‘How to Train Your Dragon’ when I reread the last line above this one.

      Reply

      • I do quite like Druddigon’s design, but my main reason for liking it is Sheer Force. LifeForce (Life Orb + Sheer Force) is pretty much one of my favourite combos ever (Oh hey, a free extra 30% power. Yes please) and I love to abuse it relentlessly.

    • It’s a struggle between Flygon and Garchomp
      Flygon is interesting but not as powerful but Garchomp is bad-ass yet too agile for my tastes
      I rarely use dragons in game

      Reply

    • Favourite: Design-wise Goomy line all the way and Haxorus line.

      Least Favourite: Dialga and Palkia, especially Palkia and maybe Giratina but I can exclude it if the other two didn’t exist.

      I have never used a Dragon type, shame on me…

      Reply

    • I’m the exact opposite
      Favourite: Dragonite, loved it the moment I saw it and never ceases to amaze first (also the first pseudo and nostalgia)

      Least Favourite: Salamence, I just dislike it for some reason.

      Reply

      • I think the reason I love Salamance is because I grew up with gen 3. I didn’t get to play the gen one games until later on I would explain why I didn’t get to play FR and LG but it’s a long story.

        Reply

    • Favorite: Giratina (I could say Mega Charizard X but I don’t think its fair)
      Least Favorite: Goomy line… I don’t get why they’re Dragon-type… If they were not Dragon-type, I wouldn’t mind so much about them…

      Reply

    • Here’s mine
      Favorite: Salamance My first pokemon I ever trained to Level 100 when I was back in the 2nd Grade

      Least Favorite: Hydreigon I always thought it looks way too ferocious to be a Pokemon also a pain in the butt to train, Druddigon since its color scheme looks like it was sloppily colored in by a two year old

    Reply

    • There’s more chances of you getting it. You just put 5 dollars down and pay the rest when you go get the game. Or you can pay in full and when you go get it you just get it. If you go a day later there might be a chance that it’s out of stock so it’s better to pre-order.

    • I believe there’s been a leak of the entire story or at least the important parts..I caught a few pictures and one thing that sounds rather big but I’ve stopped it at that..I don’t want to spoil myself anymore!

      Reply

  589. Ok, I have to get this off my chest. Whether regarding story or new pokemon, spoilers are spoilers and if you don’t want to see spoilers, stay away from the spoiler section. What’s so hard about this simple, logical concept to grasp? It’s like being afraid of sharks, voluntarily jumping into a shark tank, and then whining because hey, there are sharks in there. Well no shit, Sherlock. Maybe just don’t jump into the shark tank in the first place, rather than wasting your time and ours moaning and ruining all the fun for those of us who are quite happy in the shark tank (which I might add is one of the few places we are actually allowed to freely swim with sharks, because much of the internet is shark-free). And for those of you (and there are many) jumping into the shark tank and then demanding to only see certain kinds of shark – I’m sorry that this might come as a bit of a shock, but the world doesn’t revolve around you. Should you choose to jump into the shark tank please accept that there are all kinds of shark in there, so if you know in advance that there are certain ones you don’t want to see, perhaps give the shark swimming a miss altogether. Everyone will be a lot happier that way.

Yeah, include some sort of spoiler warning (like Dicie was last night) and maybe they can stay here and spoil some without spoiling too much. I’ve come back here just to get a link to the list of all the Pokemon and accidentally seen some things completely unintentionally, and while I don’t mind it, I’m sure others do.

      Reply

    • You still have to respect the people that don’t want to be spoiled in some way though. Like seriously, a few days ago I saw people deliberately spoiling specific people who specifically said they didnt want to be spoiled which isnt cool.

      Reply

    • Not all people assume that comments mean “spoilers”. You know what? They’re COMMENTS, not spoilers. The comments are “meant” to be commenting on the article above. This one is about the Kalos dex Pokemon. So naturally, if you came here and whined about knowing what all the Kalos Pokemon were, then yeah, I wouldn’t have much sympathy. That is an example of the shark tank metaphor you’re referring to. But coming here and seeing plot spoilers when you don’t want to? That’s more like walking into a Fish tank without knowing that there’s a shark in there. And then suddenly the shark is there. Now to a degree, I agree with you, there is an element of using your common sense. a Fish tank might have a shark in it. But equally, maybe you like the other fishes and want to look at them, but want to stay away form the sharks. Or maybe you genuinely don’t expect a shark to be in the tank.

      The least people could do is alert people that they are about spoilers. If it’s an image, link to it with a clear “SPOILERS” tag. If it’s text, either hide it behind a “Read More” with a clear “SPOILERS” at the top, or if you’re a little lazier, then label “SPOILERS” at the top of your post and then write the sentence directly below. It also helps if you detail what your spoilers are about, because some people don’t mind Pokemon spoilers but hate plot spoilers. So like “NEW POKEMON REVEALED” if it’s a Pokemon, or “PLOT SPOILERS BELOW” if it’s plot spoilers.

      I don’t think I’m asking for too much. Just a tiny bit of common courtesy is all.

      • I would love for people to do this, but when I asked this before I got called ‘selfish’ I wasn’t trying to be selfish, but I am just asking to do the spoiler tag on articles that don’t have spolier in the name.

    • It’s pretty hard to be on PokeJungle this last week what with every article being consumed with spoilers and only some people talking about the articles topic, for the past few days however we have gone without plot spoilers but all of a sudden we get plot spoilers. We didn’t get that with Kanpachi or Zar but we now get them from Josh when he wasn’t even going to put anything about the story and I kind of blame 4chan for persuading him into leaking the story. If you want to talk about a spoiler that’s fine but at least mention that its a spoiler so those that want to remain spoiler free don’t have to whine and downvote.

      Reply

    • A few people are saying that if you get the download version you *might* be able to save it to an SD card, then put in another SD card and re-download the game, thus having multiple save files. However this is unconfirmed and when tried with Animal Crossing save files were deleted, so don’t hold your breath for it unfortunately.

      Reply

    • No! Here’s the reason why: It lowers the value of Pokemon games! Having multiple saves would make the games cheaper and less cost effective! For example, let’s say a family of 5 (3 kids) gets X. They can just buy one game, because of the 3 save files! Then, Pokemon isn’t getting as much money as they needed! Also, the space on the GameCard isn’t that large to save more than 1 file!

    • Either the 6th or 7th gym area… I remember Josh looking for one recently. What I want to know is how soon you get Honedge and Clauncher.

Im not Sure if Josh got one but Mawile is definitely in Y which he is playing so if he has Sableye then no they are not exclusive.

          • I pre ordered mines and got an email saying it was dispatched today so it should come either tomorrow or Thursday. I live in the UK and a few online retailers have to send them out early to ensure release date delivery.

          • Its the benefit of pre-ordering. A lot of companies offer launch day delivery guarantees that offer partial refunds if not met so they always ensure delivery before launch.

          • I have always preordered mine at target…I hope u don’t mind me asking where did u pre order it

          • A UK site called Shop To (offers a £5 refund if not met) but i know that Play.com and Tesco have also shipped some games already and that GAME usually does aswell.

        • I think Corphish because it is playful and Tierno wants a dance troop of pokemon ( i fully expect a Ludicolo and will be very annoyed if this isn’t the case). Why do you think Marill?

          • Marill is more popular. But yeah, he does scream ludicolo!

            Seems odd Trevor would recieve the most popular/well known pokemon where as Tierno would recieve the pre-evo of the 3rd/4th least know pokemon in RSE,

            Chimecho at 41.3%, Crawdaunt at 41.1%, Corphish at 41.1%, Whiscash at 39.2%, and Barboach at 38.8%

          • That’s exactly why i believe he got it. If anything this Gen definitely seems like it is aimed at breathing new life into those pokemon forgotten or not utilised to their full potential in their respective generations. Plus its a throwback to Ash’s corphish in the anime who used to join Brock when he did those weird dance things with ludicolo.

  657. Alright question time. If you could be a gym leader, what type would your be (earthenwarrior I know yours) and what would u look like?

      Styling some Canvas Shoes, Beach Shorts, Blue shirt. Think Australian influence.
      My Gym would be an underwater tank involving a battle that only water pokemon can participate in. (i’ve loved this idea ever since that scene in Pokemon 3 the movie when Misty battles Mollie underwater.).
      If i was Choosing a team of 3 then it would be:
      Starmie
      Ludicolo
      Kingdra
      Id award the Dive Badge which would be an Anchor infused into a water cascade.
      I would also award TM?? Aqua Pulse which is a move that does 70 damage normally with 95% accuracy but doubles in power when used underwater but goes down to 80% accuracy.

    • Fighting type for sure.

      I’d probably look like myself, but I’d be in light boxing gear. Gloves, T-shirt, Loose shorts.

      My team would consist of fast, lithe Fighting types. Combusken, Monferno, Sawk, Breloom, Mienfoo, Primeape, that sort of thing.

      I could imagine being a 3rd/4th/5th Gym. Somewhere in the middle. Have Mienfoo, Combusken and Primeape as my team. Primeape as my ace, but my Combusken is my best friend and the one who spends his whole time outside of his Pokeball following me, a la Pikachu. I’d add Monferno to the list if I were to have four Pokemon.

  667. Hey, could anyone more familiar with this help me out?
    I preordered from Game in the UK. On an email they sent, it says it will be available on the 12th as you would expect.
    But when I go to track my order, its status is “SHIPPED”. Could someone clarify? Is it possible it will be delivered early?

    Reply

    • No, since it shipped this early in the week, I’m assuming it’s being transported by ground. Although it’s still possible that an early delivery happens, it’s not likely.

      Reply

        • From my limited knowledge I’d assume so. It’s probably being shipped early to arrive in your location on time, and it will be distributed on the 12th.

          Reply

          • No problem! I prefer to pick up my copy myself to ensure I actually get it on time, because sometimes there are problems with deliveries and all that stuff. However shipping works really well if you’re very lazy! 😛

    • Depending on the delivery method you might get the game tomorrow or thursday if its first class. But i would think Friday at the latest if t has been shipped. GAME often send new games early, i got the XY 3DS XL 2 days early when i ordered from GAME 😀

            I’d wanted to just go into the store and buy it without preordering for ages, so I held off. But then I saw the Pokeball game case, so…

  669. I seriously hope that there is more pokemon. This cant be all of them, 69 pokemon with the inclusion of 18 mega evolutions. Probably most of the pokemon we’ll see are from past generations…Ugh. But on the bright side, just a few more days till i can go buy it.

        • How many shinies do you have?
          Cause Mime Jr was my second ever, so I was pretty pleased!
          Or maybe the shininess causes you to re-evaluate a Pokemon you wouldn’t normally look at, finding its innate awesomeness/cuteness. Or lack thereof.

          Reply

          • My first shinies caught were:

            Diamond: Octillery Skuntank
            SS: Tangela and caught pokerus in this game
            Pt: none(caught Pokerus though)
            BW: Pidove(early in game), Mandibuzz, Frillish
            BW2: none(Gible if you want to count it)

            Now, its like I don’t really care about shinies anymore though.

          • My first shinies were in Diamond:
            Weepinbell
            Mime Jr. <3
            Then in Platinum I got a Shiny Gible. Yeah, before BW2 made it not rare anymore.
            And in SS I saw a shiny Bellsprout in the Safari Zone. It fled.
            So random shinies are still a deal for me 🙂

          • And also I was playing emerald on ROM this summer and Kyogre was being a b*tch to catch. I ran out of pokeballs and it kept hurting itself with Double Edge. I had to restart so many times that I encountered a shiny one, but of course it kept using Double Edge and killed itself -___-

          • Be thankful it wasn’t on the real cartridge I guess!
            It was only a Bellsprout, but I was still mad when it fled!
            And when I was catching the others, I was so scared that I’d run out of Pokeballs or something. Trying to catch a Mime Jr. 😛

          • Some I remember catching.

            GSC: Scyther, Caterpie.Metapod/Butterfree and Sentret/Furret
            RSE: Skitty/Delcatty…I think a shiny corsola once too.
            DPT: Shinx/Luxio/Luxray (My first shinx encounter ever!) and Buneary/Lopunny
            BW: Audino and Petilil/Lilligant

          • I went 2 Gens without getting any shinies, and the lack of them beforehand made the eventual encounter that much better!
            When you eventually come across one it will have more value for you than for someone who found loads!

          • In Chronological Order:

            1. FR: Voltorb (caught)
            2. FR: Voltorb (I ran away)
            3. LG: Primape (fainted)
            4. My bro’s FR (which was mine before I reset it): Weedle (caught; early in the game)
            5. B: Patrat (fainted; early in the game)
            6. B: Delibird (caught)

          • I only fainted two. I just ran away from the second voltorb because I thought there was no point since I already had the first one. I didn’t know about shinies at the time.

            Primeape was at a low level compared to my party members, and I did not have a lot of Pokéballs. I was not prepared to catch any Pokémon. That and it wouldn’t get caught at full health. That is when I vowed to ALWAYS have a lot of Pokéballs ready!

            Patrat was early in the game. My Snivy got a Critical Hit on his first move. 🙁

          • Quick Balls are really great! Don’t know what I would have done without them (ie in gen3)!
            Also, most early game Pokemon don’t have to be weakened to have a big chance of catching them. Ah well, I would have prob tried to attack too 🙁

          • That is why theQuick Ball is my favorite Pokéball of all time! That and I love its design and animation. That’s why I’m so jealous that Tesco is distributing them in the UK!

          • My shiny Pokemon in chronological order:

            1. Pidgy, Heartgold
            2. Gastrodo, Platinum
            3. Luxray, Platinum
            4. Patrat, Black
            5. Axew, White
            6. Sigilyph, Black

          • My first ever was a Ratticate on Platinum. That route above the Fight Area.

            I think my next was a Cubchoo on my White version. I’ve also caught a Darumaka on either Black or White.

            I then also have the event Suicune and the recent creation trio, as well as the HeartGold Gyarados and BW2 Haxorus.

            I also have a few less legitimate ones. Pokecheck. I mainly use them for breeding purposes though (the hidden abilities).

      • Chatot is one of my favorite shinies, despite his uselessness in battle. He’s so great and colorful!

        • Not for anything, Staraptor has godly attack and pretty good speed, and Intimidate gives it decent bulk as well. Staraptor can abuse Tailwind and smash opponents with the Uber-useful Brave Bird and Close Combat combo. I have a VGC team centered around it.

          Talonflame needs some sort of stats that are really impressive as its ability already lets us down, as well as a great offensive movepool. I don’t see him working when other Fire/Flying types such as Charizard and Moltres probably outclass him. Ingame he sounds great, but in vs modes, probably he won’t do much.

          Reply

          • a lot of people underestimate some pokemon though. I mean a solar power fire gem boosted STAB sunlight powered fireblast, flamethrower, or heatwave from charizard is godly. who knows, maybe talonflame will surprise us with its movepool or something!

          • I’m a Staraptor fanboy, but I want every Pokemon to be useful (Fire is also my favorite type). I’d love it if Talonflame actually turned out to be great, but we need to see his moveset and stats! I feel like he’ll be a physical attacker and somehow I don’t see him using Flamethrower…

          • I know how it is, I get many people to insult me because I use all normal types. I just feel they are underestimated. I hope they introduce a good physical fire move and something that doesnt damage the user and is a bit more powerful than aerial ace.

    • Hey staraptors awesome! I call mine the “raptor cannon” because it busts holes in teams without any set up! I hope talonflame turns out to be equally as good!

        Reply

        • Yea since, blastoise should be your second starter because you already have a Grass type which cancels out Venusaur. You already have a Flying type which cancels out Charizard. So Blastoise is the best option 😀

          Reply

    • Depends on your game…
      If X:
      Chesnaught
      Charizard X
      Clawitzer
      Sylveon
      Aegislash
      Heliolisk or Auroris (Depending on preference)
      NOTE: Hawlucha seems slightly redundant if you went with this team as both of its typing are covered through Chesnaught and regular Charizard.

      If Y:
      Chesnaught
      Blastoise
      Dragalge
      Hawlucha
      Auroris
      Heliolisk or Aegislash
      NOTE: Again i would perhaps suggest Talonflame in place of Hawlucha as it gives you a fire type as well as flying. But either works fine here.

      Reply

      • I’m a big Hawlucha fan, though, even though it is a bit redundant. I’m getting Y. Thanks for the advice, I just need to think this through.

        Reply

        • Hawlucha is definitely a cool looking Pokemon and if its Y you’re getting then is perfectly fine since Blastoise is the best choice to pair up with Chesnaught in Y meaning you don’t have this issue of Charizard making it redundant and chances are you will use grass more on chesnaught than you will fighting so the type can be split between the two 🙂

    Reply

    • No, simply because it would be unnecessary. Some Pokemon would make sense to have greater gender differences but other’s not so much. It depends what the pokemon is based on. Some animals have gender role forms where the female is more preetorial than the male and vice versa so it would make sense if gender influenced stats for a pokemon based on an animal like that. However this isn’t the case for all animals and certainly not pokemon based on inanimate objects etc. There would have to be a valid reason for the difference.

        • The BST was worked out using the stats leaked by leakers then altered according to the nature. Obviously EV’s will have played a tiny part in how the stats looked but these will be pretty accurate if not spot on. A good few pokemon have now had their BST’s worked out now that stats are known for most of the new pokemon. So far im loving how Heliolisk and Aegislash are looking 😀

          Reply

          • I did not see Heliolisk looking so good, but he actually looks decent. He can’t take a Mach Punch, but dang, he’ll OHKO the Fighting type on the switch and if he doesn’t he’ll switch out into Aegislash!

          • Exactly, it has the speed to make up for the poor defence but yes mach punch will be its downfall. Aegislash has speed issues but with Defence form being primary it can take the first hit then protect itself with kingly shield and lower the foe’s attack. Swords dance while still in boosted shield from then attack with sword form with a swords dance boost! EPIC

  725. Top stuff that will make haters and what they are going to point out
    It has little bit of new Pokemon (you always get mad at dumb ideas so don’t say noting)
    Megas are to overpowered (true but did it bring back some favorites.)
    Pokemon amie if I wanted Nitendo dogs I would of bought it.(-.- YOU COULD PET AND FEED YOUR FAVORITE POKEMON.)
    My personal stuff that I think.
    People would us Pokémon amine to sexually toch a feminine Pokemon.
    How would you feed pokemons with no mouths.
    How would you pet a ghost, huge Pokemon, and small Pokemon.
    GameStop I have to walk 3 miles for my closest gamestop just to get a Pokemon.
    Other than that it is the bestest game I have seen.

    (FAN NOTE, JUST RECITING IT)- No Dark gym (but we have FAIRY!)
    (LARGEST CON)- 69 Pokemon (and NO poison types in X, nor any good Ground types or a nice Bug type line, not a Gen VI variety to choose from, mostly restricted to Gens I-V, which is fine, but would’ve been better with 100+ new Pokemon)

      • Tierno is the leader of Team Flare. It’s revealed that he wants to make the world beautiful by dancing, he plans on using (in X) Xerneas to make him the most blinged-out person in the world or (in Y) Yveltal to destroy everyone who doesn’t dance his dance.

        • She also will become a large form Gourgeist after evolution which will decrease her sense of self. I mean, she has never been obese in here life. She will become morose, and then more and more vengeful of the pokemon world. Then, she will evolve into Mega Giratina and try to destroy the world. Essentially, this becomes the post-game plot.

      • That’s what I was going for and it really helps that they made plenty dual types for the number of new Pokemon we get this gen. And I really just want to use new Pokemon on my teams.

        Reply

      • Nice team, I really love Goodra, I wish it had Poison as a second type though. I wonder if some of the Pokemon for this gen were set up for Mega next gen, like Goodra, Hawlucha and Florges in my opinion.

      • Honestly, I would love a completely, and I mean completely new game, with new gym leaders, elite four, villains (or an evolution of the Magma/Aqua teams, plus a grass team), a few new pokemon, new evolutions regular/mega for gen 3 pokemon, and subtle changes over time in the various areas of the region we have all come to love. They should really make a SUBSTANTIVE remake with a mix of nostalgia and new adventure.

        Like BW2 with more changes. Further in the past or future.

        Reply

        • The part about New Pokemon is so right on. I wish that everytime they remake an older gen they add a couple of new Pokemon that have only so far been found in that Gen’s region. Like if they’d made Heart Soul and Soul Silver with their own Fossil Pokemon for that region.

          Reply

      • Think about it this way though, would you really want to have to deal with Team Aqua/Magma and their same, in my opinion, boring plans? It would get pretty old and it kind of amazes me that no one that wants remakes has thought of that as far as I know. I would much rather see sequels of the 3rd gen games because the Hoenn games were a bit bland aside from the Pokemon.

          • EVs are so easy cause you control them after they hatch. You’re thinking of IVs. IVs are what they should have made trainable in this gen cause they’re random and can never be improved. It’s pretty hard to get a lot of perfect IVs but with practice you can get at least two pretty easily.

          • I actually know the way to control them kinda. It’s based off of the characteristics. I maxed out bastiodon’s defense and almost my swampert’s attack by getting perfect ones.

          • I wish gamefreak would remove them entirely. It completely undermines Ash’s Philosophy of every Pokemon being good enough with sufficient training.

  776. So I saw the first 30 minutes video for X and Y (hooray I spoiled myself kinda lol) and saw the Pokemon Center and I wondered this. Did anyone ever mentioned how you trade in this game or when yet? I kind of want to know since, well I kinda want all 3 starters from my X game lol.

  782. I’ve been avoiding most leaks besides for new pokes but I’m curious. Are the mega stones rare like TMs (around the place and not too hard to find) or like the plates in Gen 4 (literally the most obscure random and hidden places that you can’t even see)

    Reply

    • It seems to vary. Some stones you have to search for and are (according to 4chan leaker Josh) not hard to find – the one for Mega Aerodactyl, for examples, just involves doing Rock Smash around a cave for 10 mins or so!

      However others (like for Mega Gengar) you are given by an NPC, so we’re unsure whether there’s only 1 in the game or not.

  786. Vivillon Dex entry says – “Vivillon with many different patterns are found all over the world. These patterns are affected by the climate of their habitat”.

    “the pink vivilon is listed as Meadow Pattern, the green as Garden Pattern. So the color of Vivillon depends where the pokemon is evolve in.”

    With at least three patterns confirmed, possibly four with the white variation, wouldn’t it be fun to do a Vivillion team? (All different patterns)

    Reply

  793. So, I feel compelled to give my opinion on the miniscule things about the game.

    Mega evolution: I’ve loved it from day one, and now that I see the type of stat increases there are, I’m even more hyped for it. Although, Mega Ampharos is my least favorite, as I don’t think a weave and some added orbs is enough to make it part dragon. And the theory that Mega evolutions symbolized Norse deities? I really like that. Amphy symbolizing Thor? Not a chance. Leave that to a physical Electric Pokemon, like electivire.

    69 New Pokemon: I don’t really care. I basically like all Pokemon anyway. And even if I don’t like it in general, I’ll probably use it competitively because Smogon says it’s crap. People on Pokemon Showdown are still slightly puzzled why they get beat by a Physical Alakazam.

    The region itself is nicely done, and took some getting used to. Although, I feel that the number of Pokemon accesible before you beat the game is a little high. Honestly, I heard someone say that you had access to 450 Pokemon before you beat the game. That’s cool and all, but the amount of time it would take to collect all of those Pokemon, whether post game or not is quite long. I don’t mind it, but the fact that you will likely run into a different Pokemon EVERY single time you enter grass is a bit odd to me, but I like it. This way I can get old favorites, and new favorites.

    AZ is the man. I mean, this huge, dare i say Odin like figure just oozes bawse. And did anybody film the battle wit him? I mean, one of his Pokemon could Mega evolve or something and we’d have missed it. I found the Golurk on his team the most likely candidate for Mega evolution.

    Also, not sure if I’m reading into it right, but Josh said that seed bomb was SE on Mega Gyara.

    Reply

  794. Also, I wanted to say something about Mega Mewtwo Y. As I noticed that people made fun of his.. handle as it was put. Well, if you look at Mewtwo’s design, you’ll notice he has a second brain stem coming from the back of his head. This extra brain stem moved from his back/neck/ head area to his head all together. Because, if you have a brainstem connected to your brain in two places, your mental prowess increases. That was what I believe the aim was with that design. to show that his psychic power increases even more, as the brain stem amplifies the power. That is why Mega Mewtwo Y has a base 194 Special Attack stat. Or, at least that’s what I believe.

      • Yeah, another idea I had is that it might be like FR/LG or D/P where you have to catch/see a certain amount of Pokemon to unlock something…

        • I’m hoping so. Like even in Gen II some Pokemon weren’t available until after you beat the Elite Four. It seems to happen a lot in Even # gens.

          • That’s true actually, Slugma, Hounour and Murkrow were all Kanto Pokemon, despite being introduced in Gold and Silver. So maybe there will be a few more new Pokemon in a postgame location! I shouldn’t think there’d be that many, but a little extra would be nice, especially with types like Poison, Ground and Bug suffering harshly this gen.

    • Am I the only one that didn’t like Hoenn? XD

        • Hmm to me it was the game that nearly killed my interest in pokemon.
          i skipped second generation and third one was just… boring to me.

          Reply

      • I didn’t dislike it; it was my least favourite generation of the franchise so far, but that was largely due to a) not being able to transfer old pokemon forward b)the graphics c)suddenly not being able to trade with my friends because they’d lost interest in pokemon and wifi hadn’t been invented yet d)the physical/special split being type not moved based. None of those things would be a problem if the games were remade/given sequels, so I look at it as a chance to properly enjoy Hoenn this time around, and give it the apprecation it never fairly got from my newly teenaged, grumpy self 10 years ago 🙂

        Reply

          • No, it was gen 3. It was type, not move based, which effectively ruined some very good pokemon.

          • No its different. Gen II was the introduction of Phsyical/Special by type. The Original Gen didn’t have that. It wasn’t until Gen IV that was fixed to the move based Physical/Special split.

            Normally its the Even Gens that change battle mechanics and introduce new gameplay. The only exception in Hoenn (Gen III) where Double battles, Contest, Better Berries, Natures, and Abilities were added.

          • But the first Gen had a Special value too. It was split in Special Attack and Special Defense in Gen II, but existed before.
            Besides, (s?)he just said (s?)he disliked that in Gen III Special/Physical was divided by type, not by moves. Then you said that this was changed in Gen IV, as if you would disagree, but basically you two said the same ^^

          • The first gen did have a special type, but lets not talk about the wonky battle system that is Gen I. Its one of multiple reasons why I can’t bring myself to play Red, Blue, or Yellow

            Gen IV rearranged the splits by Moves. In Gen II/III a move like Crunch or Bite was a special move that was because during those Gen, Dark type was strictly special attacks. Even some of the Elemental punching moves or moves like Flame Wheel or Vine Whip were special. In Gen IV they rearranged the splits in order for it to make sense.

          • Yeah, Gen I was a buggy game 🙂
            We all know that and agree about it, so what’s the point? ^^ I said the same (just without mentioning Gen II).

      • I liked Gen III. Transferring my Mon didn’t bother me cause I wasn’t a competitive player back then. That was everyone biggest gripe of Gen III since not many Pre-Gen III Pokemon where in it.

        The storyline was a bit bland, but Pokemon never really had a good story Pre-Gen IV.

        Yet, I will disagree with you on the Pokemon. Gen III cranked out some pretty creative Pokemon compared to its predecessors. The Pokemon actually matched its environment. Hoenn was more of a Temperate/Tropical Region and the Pokemon actually matched it quite well

        I think the best thing that I like about Hoenn was the new battle mechanics. Hoenn is where I became more competitive and joined the Metagame. It was Hoenn that introduce Double Battles, the Berry Dex (an extension to berries), Natures, and Abilities. It may the battles more interesting and EV Training less complicated (but still complex)

        Probably Another thing I liked about Hoenn was the Pokemon Contest. It gave the world of Pokemon another dimension. Coordinators and Trainers. I loved the contest system a lot. Though I wish it was a bit more like the Anime in regards. I was kinda of a sad when it was only put in one town in Gen IV and then done away with for The Musicals and PokeWood.

      • How on earth (and sea) could you not like Hoenn?
        It was hands down the best region without a shadow of a doubt.
        It had everything from non-linear structure, beautifully designed routes and settlements like Route 120 IIRC and Cities built on trees or on water. Hoenn introduced Deserts/Sandstorm, Drizzle, Drought, under water sea exploration, Berries and so much more.
        Hoenn wasn’t a small tiny region like Kanto nor was it packed into one tiny box like Johto. It was big. Spacious. Beautifully designed.
        The Pokemon native to Hoenn were awesome too in design.

        If you have something against the generation then okay fine but the Hoenn region? Hello? I don’t see why people dislike it because of too much water. Well DUH that’s the whole point of Hoenn – sea and land. There’s suppose to be water. It all part of the fun. You don’t like running into wild Poke’s then use a repel. You hate exploring water? How can you hate exploring water? It’s fine travelling land and they ask for change but when you get more water you start complaining?
        If you hated the removal of day/night. Well so do I but it’s a small thing when looking at the positives.
        Lack of access to older mons? Well Emerald and FR/LG somewhat dealt with that. Besides Hoenn is new beginnings. New Pokemon are the way to go.
        3rd generation introduced abilities, EV’s, refined the IV system as well as introducing so many new moves..double battles, Pokemon contests, Battle frontier and multiple battling facilities, rematch against gym leaders.
        How could you hate the story line? Hello? Having two conflicting teams that are each looking to bring power out of there respective nature be that land or sea and create a new world, destroying the old one in the process. Far better then the generic we’re team rocked and we’re bad MUHAHAHA!. Two teams is better then one especially because they were IMO well plotted for the most part.
        It was better storyline then the first two and as good as Sinnoh. Only Gen 5 can have a say as Plasma arc was amazing.

        Badly designed Pokemon? I have no evidence to suggest this but I will anyway. In fact my evidence is the community. People want RSE remakes and from my understanding love the Pokemon from Hoenn. The starters have always been well recieved. The legendaries too. Pokes like Metagross, Milotic, Salamence, Manectric,Breloom are also well liked. The designs are different in their theme and they’re awesome whether you like it or not.

        People hate on RSE for the most bizzare and stupid reasons but the majority of us want remakes!

          • So like hoenn in your own ok? Nobody must like hoenn or other gen. Hoenn has great idea but weak and short storyline and aftergame. Pokemon games desire more challenge after game because you’re champion and what? Nobody cares about that in world aftergame, all trainers and leaders in region should train in that time when you were on journey and beating storygame and welcome you back with more powerfull teams to test you.

          • No one must like Hoenn but it’s hard not to unless your an outright hater.
            Hoenn wasn’t just a great idea. It was a great implementation of everything a region should be.
            Short Story? HELLO? IMO it was one of the longest if not longest pre-e4 storyline we’ve had. Certainly longer then what we had in Gen 1/2 and not far off 4/5.
            Having two teams and having to deal with not only Groudon/Kyogre but also Rayquaza is not short.

            No more challenge after-game?
            LOLOLOL
            Oh dear..
            Be prepared for this one..
            In Emerald you could rebattle Steven Stone for starters who wasn’t easy as his levels were far higher and his team was pretty strong. You could rechallenge gym leaders in double battles which progressively got harder.
            Completing your dex was another challenge both Hoenn and National. And thus earning yourself the very hard to obtain Johto starters. Then there’s the Lati’s and the 2 weather trio..
            Then there’s the Battle Frontier which was very challenging and fun. Believe me. The frontier in itself would take up almost all your time. What an amazing area!
            Then many areas opened up like extended Safari Zone or Desert Underpass, Trainer Tower..
            Rebattling Wally at Victory Road, challenging or not it was still there.
            And for many who hadn’t finished and obtained all the ribbons from the Pokemon contest had that to do and it takes time.
            And much much more!
            And this game was made over 10 years ago. Imagine it in the modern day.

          • I wasn’t being literally by the use of said words.
            And for your information a lot of people do.
            I had to express my reaction one way or another.

          • Pokemon Emerald is by far the best Pokemon game I have played. It has so far been the only one that i actually continued to play after beating the main elements of the game. And that was due to the Battle Frontier.

            I played Diamond, Platinum, SoulSilver, Black and Black 2. I honestly don’t know what to do after I have completed the game….most of them are just sat there with 40-50hrs of gameplay, whereas in Emerald I at one point clocked up to over 300hrs of Gameplay, with a possible 250 of those hrs just on the Battle Frontier. It was by far the best challenge i’ve had in a Pokemon game to date. The Platinum BF just didn’t cut it for me

            The BF along with the fact that in my opinion Hoenn was a beautiful region and had some of the best Pokemon designs (and best anime) is why I want a remake. I honestly hope they don’t ‘forget’ to include the Battle Frontier.

          • you have butthurts ;p challenge in pokemon games can be made in this way as I said IT IS CHALLENGE, for me aftergame wasn’t fun in RSE I just leveing up because I hadn’t opponents to fight beside battle tower what was pretty random and for me it wasn’t fun because it was like whole world was crushed by you and never want battle again because never get much power to rebattle. Few random trainers isn’t enough, challenge should ends when everyone will have team of lv 100 pokemons and max AI level to being opponents like living persons

          • You’re right about there being less trainers to battle but you have to remember that the Pokemon games are progressions in their own way. Each generation gets better and better as we go on. And Gen 3 was a long time back where battling numerous strong trainers post-e4 wasn’t the norm. It is now but wasn’t back then. That aside Hoenn had everything and more than you could ask for.

          • When did I ever tell you that you had to like Hoenn? Suit yourself if you don’t like it, but don’t hate on others who do.

        • “How could you hate the story line? Hello? Having two conflicting teams
          that are each looking to bring power out of there respective nature be
          that land or sea and create a new world, destroying the old one in the
          process.”

          A) I hate that type of Anime villian plot. Team Rocket had a realisitc goal I could relate to. But after 3rd gen the goals of the teams got really silly.

          B) Both teams are so goddamn incompetent!

          They steal the wrong orb and when they finally summon the legendary pokemon they can’t even control it. Great planning.

          ” I don’t see why people dislike it because of too much water. Well DUH that’s the whole point of Hoenn”

          And I don’t like that point. Different tastes I guess.

          Reply

          • Just because you don’t like it, doesn’t mean others won’t.
            Secondly, I admit the Magma/Aqua story line was basic and nothing too deep but it was still an epic and well structured story. Far better than TR. Yes TR are the nostalgic team that everyone adores but they were too basic and weak IMO.
            At least Aqua and Magma took the initiative to destroy the world but at the same time you have the fun of watching them quarrel amongst each other!
            You have more boss battles and it’s not always predictable. In Gen 1/2 and HGSS it’s always TR. In Sinnoh it’s always TG and Unova it’s always Plasma. With Hoenn you get different teams popping about and you get to see the development of conflicting goals and as a result this huge tension. It feels real and it really does feel like it’s BIG. That it’s no joke.

            You don’t like that point? Meaning..
            – You disagree with me which is fine but I’m finding it hard to see any logical reasons other than you just hating Hoenn. Disliking Hoenn because of the abundance of water even though Hoenn is about land/sea and tropical environments, is just really stupid.

            – Or you disagree with me making this point against Hoenn haters. Well that’s just not going to happen as everyone knows that if you hate Hoenn then water has a good chance of being the reason. Again I couldn’t care less.

          • “Yes TR are the nostalgic team that everyone adores but they were too basic and weak IMO.
            At
            least Aqua and Magma took the initiative to destroy the world but at
            the same time you have the fun of watching them quarrel amongst each
            other!”

            This has nothing to do with nostalgia.

            I like team rocket more, because their goals were realistic and less sociopathic than most other teams.

            They wanted to use pokemon to make money and gain control. That is something I can relate to. Wanting to destroy and recreate the whole world is something i CAN’t relate to.

            That sort of plan is just pure madness and anyone thinking things through would realize how silly that goal is.

            “You have more boss battles and it’s not always predictable. In Gen 1/2 and HGSS it’s always TR”

            If I remember it correctly weren’t you only fighting one team in each version?

            “You don’t like that point? Meaning..
            – You disagree with me”

            No I’m not dissagreeing with you I just don’t like the basic design of Hoeen with tons of water everywhere.

            As I said it is a matter of taste and surfing around everywhere is really boring to me.

          • Well that’s your opinion. I think most would prefer something more outrageous and different then the predictable money and power gaining scheme TR had going on. If RSE had a TR like team it would be bland. Aqua/Magma go perfectly with Hoenn. So you can relate to stealing/money etc? I prefer the more wild and explosive approach Aqua/Magma had. It sounds silly? Doesn’t everything else in Pokemon? In the sense that none of this is real and when we play the games we want our imagination to go wild. Aqua and Magma are much closer with their business. TR don’t cut it out unfortunately. But that’s down to opinion and let it stay that way..In Emerald you would fight both.

            How could you dislike Hoenn?

            The region had the best design in size, non-linearity structure and just so many new amazing environments.
            I will never understand this hate on the entire region because of water. I’d like to remind of you something you can buy from Poke Marts and occassionally find on the floor that might help you here – they’re called repels!
            Without water Hoenn wouldn’t have that land/sea thing or at least it would feel less realistic.
            Water is a change of pace and you’re not always in water. Just later on in the game. I mean Cities built on trees/water are just amazing concepts. That feeling of living with nature.
            Then you have the awesome secret bases which in Hoenn were just WOW. And then the routes were so diverse, huge and amazingly detailed. In particular the more tropical routes. You had the desert, the route east of Fallarbor where you had ash clouds or whatever they’re called from the volcaona..then you had the burning hot Lavaridge town..and much more!
            How could you hate Hoenn? :/ NVM..

          • Great design /= great gameplay.
            Yeah I agree the cities were well designed. Doesn’t change the fact that i was bored out of my mind on those huge ass routes that didn’t seem to end ever. I prefer shorter routes to keep the pacing more balanced.

          • Again that’s your opinion. Most including myself prefer the detail and variety Hoenn gave than what you prefer.
            And not every Hoenn route was big.

            The early routes were short but did get bigger as you went along.
            Never said great design consitutes to great gameplay. There are many other things about RSE that pointed to great gameplay. I’ll let you guess what they were LOL

  800. So are those the only Mega Evolutions we’ll be getting in this game? If that’s the case, that really leaves a lot more to be desired. They only gave us 69 new Pokemon, and only 18 Mega Evolutions? You’d think this game would have a lot more Mega Evolutions since that is one of the new features that the game has been touting and hyping. I really hope we get more than just the ones shown.

    Gen 1: The Pokemon
    Gen 2: Post Game
    Gen 3: The Region
    Gen 4: Metagame (It really made it with Wi-Fi)
    Gen 5: Story
    Gen 6: Graphics

      Gen 3: Region without a doubt the best ever. Also Battle Frontier.

      • Thanks! Gen 6 i put down Graphics simply from what we have seen it will always be remembered for the drastic change to 3D models. Plus from what i’ve heard of the new orchestral music that too…complete revamp of how the games used to be and so far its been great.

  802. Anyone know how early you can catch Pancham? I’m hoping he’ll be my first catch in Kalos

    I loved that little guy from the minuet corocoro leaked him!

  806. I’m happy they are veering away from dragon type legendaries in x and y. I mean, black and white had dragon types and they were really boring to look at. Even though z legendary is an snake, they made it look awesome. They are my favorite legendary pokemon since ruby and sapphire!

  808. So does anyone have a list of every Vivillon pattern?
    I really like the design and I’ll use it as long as possible so I don’t want to end up with an ugly pattern XD

  811. Maybe the leakers can’t evolve the old pokemon because there are some they need to be traded to evolve, or there is some weird task you have to do to evolve it. They have no guide to tell them anything, why do we trust them like they’re gamefreak?

  812. The only sad thing about the lack of new Pokemon in the game is the lack of certain types… most types only have 2 or 3 pokemon each.

    Reply

    • I KNOW RIGHT, I didn’t really care about how much new pokemon I just saw there would be only 2-3 pokemon each type. I was really hoping for a bug type other than the beginning bug.

      • Im just disappointed by the lack of water types… normally there are loads and rightly so considering how much water is in the world.

        Reply

        • I think they are using this Gen to add and upgrade a few things, such as usefulness for Poison and Steel. They may not have a lot of water types because there are already so many and we don’t need to go overboard with water types.

  828. I think somebody who have the game already and able to get through the Pokemon League and beat the champion should battle the Pokemon League for the second time. Maybe the number of pokemon they’ll use will increase and also I hear some rumors that the champ will be different, and will be a more relevant Champ.

    And one more thing…

    Do anyone know anything about the post game? Because I also heard rumors that new pokemons are only catchable after the main game. The National Dex is pretty complex this gen and supposed to open up slides that is why new pokemons are still possible even the confirmed dex number of Zygarde are already known. Do somebody found anything about this yet?

    Reply

    • No.Nintendo wouldnt make a new gen and not let you catvh the new ones in the game. No, I can’t see that happening. Sorry.

      Reply

      • So maybe we should just wait for it for couple of days. I’m just hoping somebody found about these. Somebody just said about it that there are a fair number of new pokemon this gen and only accessible post game. That someone browse the Guide book of X & Y. So anything is still possible. 🙂

        Reply

          • Wait, you just named three Pokemon that are Dark types… Wasn’t Murkrow post E4 too? Ha ha ha, GF made a new type and didn’t even make it available till postgame! At least Gen VI makes 17% of the new Pokemon Fairys and shows you them right off the bat.

          • Yup! The only Dark type available in the main game was Umbreon. Steel was not much better. Skarmory and Forretress were the only new ones available before the league. Magneton could also be caught but wasn’t exactly new. The only way to get Scizor or Steelix before the league was to find a Magnemite holding Metal Coat and that’s pretty rare plus trading wasn’t easy back then.

          • Which was near impossible to get because Friendship evolution was soooooo slow in Gen II (or maybe I was just an impatient 9 year old…).

          • Espeon was (and is) one of my favorite Pokemon, but I didn’t get one until I got handed the shard to make it evolve in XD.

          • It wasn’t harder just not very well known back then…. not a lot of people knew exactly how to go about speeding up friendship increase. I certainly didn’t back then.

  832. I know this will sound suspicious but there is a guy who has the game (and showed me proof) and we were talking and he managed to get more info on mega evolutions. i don’t care if u believe me. i just want to share this information. there are 60 mega evolutions:
    venusaur, charizard, blastoise, alakazam, machamp, golem, gengar, eggxacutor (i think thats how its spelled), kangaskahn, lapras, dragonite, mewtwo
    meganium, typholsion, feraligatr, xatu, ampharos, sudowoodo, wubbafet, scizor, heracross, donphan, tyranitar, celebi
    sceptile, blaziken, swampert, gardivour, sableye, mawille, aggron, zangoose, tropius, absol, salamance, metagross
    torterra, infernape, empoleon, luxray, driffblim, garchopm, lucario, drapion, carnivine, abomasnow, porygon z, gallade

  838. Okay, updates on Gourgeist.

    Josh has leveled past 50
    Tried a Leaf Stone
    Tried Pokemon Amie
    Tried Malimar upside-down method

    He is still looking for a dusk stone, though I am thinking a rare candy might oddly be the method. Think about it, CANDY, for the trick-or-treating pokemon. Though, I think ultimately the method will be something brand new and unexpected.

    Reply

    • Im pretty sure he already tried a rare candy. I honestly thought it would be the Malimar method…. look slike a Dusk Stone will be it.

      Reply

    • Doesn’t Doublade evolve with a dusk stone? Would they really make both that and Pumpkaboo evolve with that. Because then I’d assume Phantump does too (sorta kinda being counterparts…), and then that means all three of our ghost types evolve using dusk stones….okay, maybe I’m really over thinking it.

      Reply

      • Honestly, I think it will have something do with it’s form sizes, so yeah, not sure about the dusk stone…they don’t usually have to stone evolutions in the same generation.

  841. Does anyone else play through as characters from other series? For Gen V I used Harry Potter characters, and I think I’ll use the golden trio from Star Trek: TOS this time around.

    Reply

      • That, or I use their name, personality, etc. for the trainer. I tend to anthropomorphize my Pokémon a bit and give them back stories and whatnot to make them a little less two-dimensional. It makes it more fun, in my opinion.

        Reply

        • Haha that’s really unique! I just name my pokemon after stuff I like that fits them. So Hp, marvel, star wars, lotr, hunger games, walking dead, stuff like that 🙂 But only if the name fits them! Such as: Naming my serperior salazar or nagini and not just a random name that doesn’t work for a snake

          Reply

          • It gives you more ways to be punny, too. I just played through SS with a Nidoking named Kingsley. The purple was just calling to me…

          • That’s perfect! I named my galvantula aragog and my zebstrika tenebrus (Hagrid’s thestral that he names) No one ever remembers tenebrus in the book but I do!

    • Yes! I often pair them up and name them after book/ TV show/ whatever couples/characters. I base them, or at least one of the pair off of personality and looks of the Pokemon. My X team is mostly based on the Hex Hall characters/couples with one pair from another random book I own. My Y team is based on Divergent. :3

    Charizard Y is epic, Delphox is awesome & Blaiziken is a great added bonus.

    Reply

    • Yes, you are a shame to all Pokemon fans everywhere!

      Jk, but you have good taste. Charizard is epic, Blaziken is a beast, and Fennekin is a decent starter to choose. My cousin is considering a monotype Fire run because of all of them.

      Reply

    • Well yes its slightly overdoing it on the fire typing but each one of these has a unique secondary typing (charizard has 2) so its not the worst….it would be different if you say wanted to use Blaziken, Infernape and Emboar cause then i would be like +_+

      Reply

    • I don’t think so. Also depends on when your frame of reference is, as far as I can tell, the most that is happening is every now and then a Pokemon is shown to have the Fairy element, such as Granbull being retyped entirely to Fairy, and a screenshot that we CAN remove our Hats, at some point. But other then that, not really.

      Reply

  888. They should’ve made it so you get the Exp. ALL after the Elite 4.

    From what I’ve seen some people are facing gym leaders 10 levels lower then themselves.

    Reply

    • Why? The EXP. All returned so, it could make training easier for us. The Elite Four (not trying to spoil) is over Lv. 60. It’s going to be harder to train! Alexa gives you the EXP. All after you beat Viola! I think it makes more sense that way. (Remember the EXP. All gives the attacking Pokemon 100% EXP then gives the others 50% of that).

      Reply

      • What’s the challenge if your much stronger then the opponent?

        The Exp. All should really be used for training teams up to Level 100 post game

        Reply

      • I don’t think anyone should use it just to keep the game challenging. Being levels ahead is just..I don’t even understand the point in playing the game when your a good 10 levels ahead.
        However using it when you’re in absolute need or if you’re training/rotating a team of 10 or so Pokemon then it’s understandable.

  896. Delphox is confirmed not to have gender differences. Also if any other fennekin lovers were upset about dephox loosing its wand like me, now, instead of it’s wand sticking out of its tail, it’s hidden it its sleeve instead which I think is pretty cool! Also after seeing delphox in action I like it even more 🙂

    Reply

    • Moltres is number 153 in the Kalos dex, Xerneas’ stats, a possible signature move for Venusaur which is down below a few comments, Vivillon is probably affected pattern wise by the region the person playing lives in, Meowstic females stats and a new move she learns called Disarming Voice which does 40 damage, doesn’t miss, and is like a Fairy type Aerial Ace that hits everyone in a multibattle.

      Reply

  900. Some final hopes for XY…

    With Moltres being revealed so unexpectedly it shows that without the ability to hack the game no one truely knows the game inside out.
    So I’m hoping that there’s plenty more post-e4 gameplay & perhaps new Pokemon?
    Gym leader rematches would be pretty awesome too, though going by history that’s never happened in the first set of games of a generation!
    I hope we get e4 matches with each member using a team of 6 plus one mega evolutions!
    Thoughts?

  906. I think there must be more Pokemon in the games. I mean, “There are so many new Pokemon in the Kalos Region that the Pokedex had to be split into 3!”, but here there are69, 87 including the Megas! Hardly any at all!! And also, there MUST be Mega Venusaur/Blastoise X! Why should Charizard always get all the love? I think that for some reason Pokemon dont want people to choose Fennekin. I mean, 2 Mega fire starters and slightly less interesting fully evolved form?? Its OBVIOUS

    Reply

    • Two new megas were just found (Banette and Medicham) indicating that there are a lot more megas that we don’t even know about it.

      Reply

  907. I’m fine with it. They haven’t announced all the Mega evolutions yet, and there could be a lot of those still. Plus for me personally, there are a lot more new ones because I haven’t played Gen III in over ten years, and completely skipped IV, so there are a lot of old new ones for me to find. I’m very pleased with this amount.

    Reply

  909. I don’t think there will only be 69 Pokemon in X and Y. How many were shown before the release of Black and White? 55. Before Diamond and Pearl? 30. I think this proves as pretty substantial evidence. They’re only giving us a taste. Let’s see if I’m right tomorrow.

    Reply

  910. I really thought Heliolisk would have an evolution, as well as Pyroar having 3 stages and Pangoro having 3 stages. I also was expecting more Mega-Evolutions and more new Pokemon in general. Though the lack of Pokemon disapoints me, they’re all really good designs.
