  4. I finished watching the subbed Pokemon Origins last night. It was amazing. Well animated and everything. The battle between Mewtwo and Charizard was awesome 😀

  7. I’ve been doing a lot of thinking. WARNING: FAN THEEORY/SPOILERS(I guess) THe game was 1.7gigabytes. We speculated another region because of that. With the strange souvenir about *ahem* another region, most of you are saying, gen 7 confirmed or spinoff confirmed. But, why put the souvenir in the game at all if it was gen 7 or a spinoff. There are also no volcanos in kalos that I know of. You can probably see where I am going with this. Another small region through an event. How would you get there? Either the train in courinway or the dock in coumarine. Usually you go somewhere with docks. I would be the size of the sinnoh battle frontier. And, since no one can hack the game we don’t know anything yet. It just all fits now. Any thoughts? If you have any theories I would love to hear.

    • Here’s what I think:
      Its an event that will be announced. An NPC will be waiting in a Pokemon Center and when you talk to him he says he is a tourist who has been looking for the strange souvenir. When you give him he will give you maybe an extra train/boat ticket he had which will take you to the event island and……you know the rest.

      • I agree. In every game there’s always an area (minimum) that is only accessible via event. This time I hope it’s a much bigger area, a mini region, with it’s own story. I’m no expert but 1.7 Gigs is a damn lot of data even with 3D models when compared to previous games

  10. Just lost my day job, so while I’m not working my night job, i’ll be able to play more 🙂 anywho, after finishing x a few days ago and starting y, i have to say these are by far the best games i’ve played. The story is great, and is paced really well, while the number of pokemon you find in each new area is amazing. All of the new features and ideas all seem very genuine, not like they made something just for filler. I’m excited for the next installment in the Gen VI line, whether it be main series or spin off.

    • ouch that sucks, losing a job sucks. I remember when I was looking for my current job, subway fired me on the spot when they found out I was job hunting. I hope you can still make ends meet! but yeah, I agree, these games are by far the best gen yet. really broke the mold

  11. Kinda suspicious how drudigons mega stone has been seen, but apparently they cant find the pokemon. I found 3 hordes of druddigon! Gives us where the stone is Pokémon DB!

  13. I have a question for those who knows those things. When Egg is hatched some have 11 hp, some have 12 hp. Is this related to IVs?

  15. -breathes- time to be generous to the wonder traders.

    • LoL, good to see someone with a generous spirit. It’s people like you that keep my faith in the fandom alive (& whoever gave that Protean Froakie)

      Reply

      • ^^ i know some people have harder time to get some stuff, like exclusive pokemon or new players wanting to get cuter pokemon, so i wanna try sending out some to be nice xD

  17. Alright, I’ve been gone for a few days, and restarted my game, for reasons, though I have a friend holding Pokemon for me as I’m doing a different style run *not pure Dark this type, did that, but I will try another restriction. When fighting Gym Leaders, I will use only the same amount as them, no items, and no switching. So if I pick something, I’m committed to it until it faints.

    In the mean time, what is all this jazz about hidden Pokemon being found in the GTS Name Search? Seems like it’s a story that’s been developing for awhile, so trying to find all the details would be maddening.

    • if you can, try to keep your levels lower than gym leaders for a better challenge. Basically the 3 unannouced pokemon have trademarks and can be requested on GTS. If you ask for a pokemon that doesn’t exist, other people can’t see it on GTS, but if it does exist you can!

      • I see, interesting. Meaning there are 72 Pokemon then it seems. And I try to keep my levels lower anyways, and at least not higher at all, did that in the last run too. The other caveat is, I have a main team of Six I’ll be using, and them alone, which should be able to handle things all around, but I won’t be strictly using Pokemon with the all out type advantages. Like, one, yes, but not in every way. So if I’m facing Korinna, I’m not going in there with my Fairy Type and Ghost Types only to screw her over, for instance.

        • that could work but it will be quite challenging. I find that even with type advantage gym leaders have very good coverage moves. I did my run rotating poekmon a lot so I was always underleveled and to be honest with that play style x/y was the a very good challenging game.

  20. The game feels like Gamefreak have outdone themselves AGAIN! This generation is the most beautiful and diverse region we have had in ages. I’ve been taking my time and got it 2 days after Launch, and so far on Pokemon X I’m in the 6th Gym! I love the game so much, there is a load of stuff to do and you can never be bored. These games will definately keep me occupied until Pokemon Z / Pokemon RS Remakes.
