Any thoughts on what the legends will look like?
Wasn’t Volcanian on that list of copyrighted names from a while back?
I was just thinking about that. Didn’t we have a ice wolf?
Don’t mention him I was sad we didn’t get him
That turned out to be something else IIRC
No Diancy, Volcanion or Hoopa?
What do you mean?
No pics/confirmation?
Confirmed, yes, but no pics. Any ideas on what they will look like?
Diancy- Like Diantha
Volcanion- Like Volcarona
Hoopa- Like a Koopa Troopa XD
OMG a pokemon that looks like diantha? I love diantha I want to marry her haha!
Best pokemon games ever!!! and now we these legendary leeks which I HOPE IS TRUE I think I may cry.
you guys, deposit a pokemon, and request a volcanion. It really works!!!!!!!
Volcaneon? It makes me think of a legendary eeveelution, lol.
Oh XDD
ok off topic but where the heck do I get substitute?
That depends on your grade level. I have a few numbers I wouldn’t mind dialing. Any preferences?
wh-… what? o_O
You said you needed substitute. I understand you need a substitute, but this isn’t really an appropriate place to be saying that XDD

It was meant to be funny.
Ya were gonna post dat weren’t you

Thank you (sniffle) 😉
wait… ohhhhhh, i get it
YEAH YA BETTER 😀
In the Kiloude city’s pokemon center, theres a hex maniac who gives a TM depending of the hour of the day
what hour is flamethrower for the one in Anistar?
Midday i think
k, I want to teach it to my slurpuff 🙂
X and Y are so much better than the last games in the main series. I have only two complaints about it.
1) The limited animations. I was hoping with a 3D pokemon game to have a battle system that felt like the anime, but Quick Attack has the same animation as slash.
2) Generic blobs are back! 🙁 Except for when you use Lapras when surfing, any other pokemon when surfing and any pokemon when flying gives you a generic blob instead of having you on that pokemon’s model.
BUT i do love how Lapras is different. Instead of a generic blob, if you surf with Lapras, you see Lapras.
Both of these are just minor complaints really. Over all, X and Y are far better than Black 2 and White 2. They put a lot of focus into every pokemon model. They’ve put a lot of focus on the battle environments.
And then there is Lumiose City which abandons the notion of fixed camera, puts the camera behind me and lets me control my character as i would in a third person shooter.
Customization. In Lumiose City there is a place to get your hair colour and style changed. You can pick up lenes to change your eye colour. Scattered across Kalos are shops you can buy and change clothes. My character looks very different to your character.
Another notion that was abandoned is the idea of meeting the professor early on. You don’t meet him until after the first badge and when you do? He battles you! And then gives you a second starter from the Kanto region.
I think Gen6 are the best set of games so far. I can’t wait to see what comes from the next installment in the main series.
ok I cant find a straight answer: are volcanion, diancy, and hoopa real? yes? no? please!
Yes, they’re in the GTS
yeah I tried to find them in the gts, no such luck!
You have to search for an yveltal and its pretty far down.
found it. awesome. its like the 5th one down
Search for goomy
or you could deposit a pokemon and request one! Or if you look up chespin, its like the second one
Yes
99.99999% likely real.
no image yet but volcanion and hoopa are real
I know what I’m naming my hoopa…

omfg
So… i ended up catching a shiny naughty spiritomb, does it have any utility in the metagame?
it says: Yveltal, lv. 52
held item: none
Pokémon you want: Volcanion
Gender: Any
Level: Any
Luis says: event incoming
Anybody that has the time could explain in how to get perfect iv by breeding and how to pass down nature and ability
ok we got a problem. people can type anything they want for a request in the GTS. I deposited ditto and requested a pokemon named “Guuut” and it let me do that.
Are you kidding me?
nope, I really did that. I mean, unless im a master of coincidence, and Guuut actually turns out to be a real pokemon.
I will use Guuut
No way!
Welp, Volcanion, Hoopa and Diancy confirmed fake then.
i knew Hoopa sounded too…good to be true.
We still have a chance with serebii! (He says hopefully while crying)
Nope. You can type anything in and it will take it, but it takes longer to load. Asking for diancie, volcanion, or hoopa takes as long to load as asking for gengar, lotad, etc. also, if you misspell a real pokemon name, it corrects it. It doesn’t correct fake names, but it does correct if you misspell diancie, volcanion, or hoopa. So they are real, I’m almost 99.99% sure of it
You can ask for whatever pokemon you want, but it will only show up on other people’s gts if its real.
There is hope!
really? huh… maybe theres some merit to this after all…
Good detective work both of you!
wut level was the ditto?
my ditto? lv 50 why?
Good idea, look it up, and if it appears that means you really can look for whatever you want
so. many. fucking.level 50. ditto. So far I can’t find it though.
Okay I couldn’t find it. But I just put up a female ferroseed, that is level 30 and is female. I named it Ehuddwtt. Try to look for it.
nope it doesn’t search nicknames
Oops, i meant I REQUESTED Ehuddwtt. srry.
nope. its not there, theres only 12 people with a female ferroseed in the level group up for trade. looks like this confirms it!
AWWW YES!!!!!!!!!
Fixed it!
I literally JUST put it back in there for the same request if you wanna refresh your search. oh and that Guuut better be adamant!
haha I literally cracked up.
Still nothing. Ima keep lookin tho. Oh, and are nicknames okay? I named my guuut just guut.
I want my guuut with pokerus. What stats will you train your guuut in?
id literally eat my cat if guuut becomes real haha
Okay I can’t find shit. So maybe Volcanion is real? Also, not a single person on gts spelt volcanion’s name wrong.
I’ll bet Masuda is looking down on us like a god and just laughing at us. Laughing at our misery.
I’m loving Y… Especially the shiny rates and methods of obtaining them. I just caught my sixth shiny: Politoed.
The only shiny I have is a red gyarados.
It’s not confirmed but I’m pretty sure that with each shiny you catch, the rate of finding them increases slightly.
That would be awesome.
Anyone want a Level 44 Conkeldurr?
Does it look better this gen?
No comment. Want it?
YES
JUST YES
Gimme ur FC and We’ll trade
I cant now
save it for tomorrow?
I guess so.
yay!
So… i really wanted a dragon friend safari, can someone help me?
my bro is dragon with noibats and fraxure. But I don’t have his code right now.
Poison…
dijja I got a plan, you listening?
Mhhhhmmmm!
put that ferroseed back on the GTS and request one of these rumored legendaries. I should easily find it in that small group of ferroseed. we can test all 3 names this way
Okay!
P.s. do you want a quiet chespin that is somewhat stubborn and knows the moves sludge bomb, ariel ace, rock slide and gyro ball? I really need to get rid of it.
tell me when!
Did it. Asked for a hoopa!
yepp its there. its says: jim: DONT TRADE (just so you know im not yanking your chains)
Yep, that’s me!
sweet we rock! alright whats the next one?
diancie.
tell me when!
loading and…
ok djja, diancie appears in the gts as well! I think we’ve got enough info to confirm this is indeed true! 🙂
yay!
loading and… DONE!
Did you see this guys !!! Perhaps proof of my theory that there are Pokémon programmed in to be revealed later on but could be anything else really ! Refresh if you don’t see the pic
This was confirmed fake an hour ago.
By whom?
TCMets.
Who’s that?
That is fake. You can even go through Masuda’s Twitter yourself to verify.
not sure if anyone has seen our little experiment below, but djja and I can pretty much 100% confirm Volcanion, Diancie, and Hoopa. thanks dijja!
Your, welcome!!!!!!!!!!! Another mystery solved!
So how do you think possible new pokemon will even be revealed?
Through the pokemon website. This seems like something they would handle.
Hopefully Diancie is a carbink evo !! they’re both fairy rock types right?
im guessing event legends
yeah, what you said makes more sense … i’m just holding onto the hope that there are more secret evolution to be revealed somehow through events or item distributions. I was disappointed with only 69 new pokes not because it was too little but mostly because there was so much hype for sableye, dunsparce and draceon for nothing.
Wow I can find pokerus but not a shiny!
this is gunna sound stupid but I literally just realized your avatar is a lucario. for some reason I thought it was a tauros.
Lol
A naughty spiritomb have some utility in the metagame?
ok I just fought a frogadier, and it dug and hit me in one turn. did they change the effects of that attack?
Cons: No tripple battle, No rotation Only about 69 new Pokemon
Only about 15 mega evolution
The gym leaders are easy
Training is too easy in general
Frame rate issues
Graphics could be better in the overworld
Very little interactions with ingame friends
linear storymode
Postgame sucks
New pokemon’s stats suck
You dont actually cut Furfro’s hair
online interactions could have been better
pokemon still use non anime cries
Very limited non storyline.adventure
Two versions were a waste
One Eevee evolution
No mega Beartic
Three legendary pokemon
Limited clothes
Limited clothing stores
