What We Could See in Pokémon ‘Z’…

Now that Pokémon X&Y have been out for a month, it’s time to start talking about the ‘third game’ of Generation VI. Here are some things that I would personally like to see, as well as a few predictions.

Characters & Story

Comments: Pokémon X&Y gave the main character quite a few friends, and all of them had interesting personalities, but much more focus could’ve been put on other NPCs such as the champion (not giving any spoilers), Lysander, and the last 4 gym leaders. The missions with a certain Pokémon detective were nice, but even they could’ve been more extensive and had more puzzle elements. After Pokémon Black & White, X&Y felt a little underwhelming in the story department and decidedly less epic. Although Team Flare had an interesting goal, the beauty of their plan wasn’t given enough exposure. Their weapon was pretty cool though.

And what about that great cutscene?? A Pokémon war?? I’d love to see that be explored more instead of just told to the player and shown in almost still images.

Prediction: The mysterious AZ will play a much bigger role in the next game and… hopefully… we’ll learn more about the sad past of Kalos. Wish we could play in a non-modern era of the region!

Pokémon

Comments: Many fans were disappointed about the small number of new Pokémon introduced in Generation VI. Whether or not they could or would rectify that in a third game remains to be seen. Personally, I think it was nice to give the limelight to older Pokémon. They really came to life in 3D and reminded me, personally, of why I love the series so much. It was fun to go through the game with a mixed team of old and new friends.

Pokémon “Z” may push this feeling of nostalgia past its welcome, unfortunately. With such a wide variety of Pokémon available in X&Y, it may be hard to make the third game stand out by introducing more catchable ‘mons; especially after the release of Pokémon Bank.

Prediction: New form for the third legendary (sadly a troupe now) and possibly a few others. GameFreak may even patch X&Y to include new Pokémon which debut in the third game…

Mechanics

Comments: Generation VI introduced new battle types, such as Inverse and Sky, but their implementation was lackluster. The third game should really capitalize on these new ways to battle and include them in the plot… not just as optional side events. Maybe a gym leader that forces the player to participate in one of them? That would certainly make players rethink some of their strategies.

One of the most exciting new mechanics of Pokémon X&Y, however, was the addition of trainer customization. FINALLY we get to decide how we look in the game and aren’t playing a generic Japanese (pre-) teen. The system, however, is very limited in its current form and clothing types are repetitive and boring. Hairstyles are also very limited, especially for males. While it was a step forward, it definitely wasn’t the revolution some people (including myself) would have preferred. Especially disappointing for Nintendo fans who may have hoped for some Animal Crossing-esque clothing options. And, seriously Game Freak, why can’t we take off our hat?!

Prediction: New Gym Leader that focuses on Sky Battles or Inverse Battles. Many more hair/clothing options, possibly an added tool to allow players to personalize outfits.

Mini-Games

Comments: Pokémon-Amie was OK. I haven’t used it much because, to be honest, there’s not all that much to do. I hope that they improve the system to include more virtual pet aspects so that you can feel a little more connected with your team. Super Training also didn’t ‘wow’ me and unless I want EV-training, I wouldn’t just play it for fun. The only thing that I really enjoyed, and isn’t technically a “mini-game”, is the Trainer PR Video system. It’s surprisingly customizable and the 10-second limit really makes you think about what you want to put in it.

Prediction: Very few changes to Amie or Super Training, new options coming to PR vids.

Online Functionality

Comments: Wonder Trade is wonderful. I think that is perhaps one of the best new additions to the series and it is genuinely fun to send a random Pokémon to a stranger and see what you get in return. Some trades are more rewarding than others, but that’s part of the fun. Trading and battling is also easier than ever in X&Y and I don’t think I actually have any complaints about the system. It’s just fun. I don’t see Game Freak doing a whole lot to change what they built, because it’s pretty darn good. The Player Search System is a fun little use of the bottom screen and primarily what I use while I’m playing.

Prediction: Online functionality stays the same.

Wrap-up

I liked Pokémon X&Y. A lot. Definitely my favorite games of the series so far and I can’t wait to see how Game Freak improves on them in the third installment. Have any complaints that you’d like addressed in their follow-up? Something you thought was missing in X&Y? Leave a comment! Can’t wait to hear your thoughts!

NL would also like me to add that his prediction for the third game’s title is “Pokémon Zero” which plays upon both the Z and also 3D coordinates (0,0), the origin point. What do you think?!

  1. I know it’ll never happen (I’m trying to jynx myself, don’t downvote me!), but I would like a dark type gym leader in “Z”. I would also like a poison legendary and more Megas (c’mon, Sableye, Swampert, and Sceptile need the same love Mawile and Blaziken got)!

    More focus on AZ and his Floette’s backstory. An increased AI to make things more challenging. More character development and better access to hatching O-Power.

    Reply
  2. I loved X and Y! There are only a few complaints that I have:

    1) The first four gyms took a nice amount of time to defeat while the last four I was able to rush through in a matter of an hour.
    Hopefully Z (or whatever proceeding game) will add more adventure between gyms.
    2) The post-game, enough said.
    I would like for the next games to have an extensive back story.
    3) There was a lack of connection between the other character and my character.
    DPPt and BW/B2W2 did a great job at forging a relationship between my character and the other major characters in the game, maybe the next game can, too.

    Reply
  3. I think that instead of Zygarde getting a new form, I think that Team Flare will be developing a Mega Stone for Zygarde! Lysandre did say that he made a device similar to the Mega Ring, so maybe Team Flare is going to create a new Mega Stone! I could see this happening instead of ANOTHER new legendary form…

    Reply
    • I remember in one of Masuda’s interviews, he said that no new Pokémon will get Megas in XY (because they are new). HOWEVER, he never said it wouldn’t happen in the next games! Once people have gotten to the new Pokémon, they could get Megas to be upgraded, so I see a Mega Zygarde happening (it’s BST is 600 afterall).

      Reply
  4. Before, I was dissapointed that N didn’t return in XY. Then again, why would he? However, I’m ok with that because AZ is the new N! He’s mysterious, a fantastic and highly appreciated character, has a tragic backstory, and seems to be a fan favorite character of XY. I said it earlier, but I would like more backstory and character development from him in “Z”.

  7. A better main story, a longer post game (I loved the looker side quest, but it was so short), and fixing the technical issues, like the lagging in the battles and having 3d always.

  8. Speaking of Pokemon Amie, it seems like that will be in every single pokemon game that comes out, since Eevee evolves into Sylveon that way. Or they can totally change it like they did to Feebas lol

    Reply
    • I agree with most of this, though I would never expect to see all of it! I am not bothered about going to Unova, or improved graphics (loving the current ones still), or anime pokemon voices, though. don’t think the customisation would reach AC levels but more would be great! The main ones I would pick from your list would be more customisation, seasons, pokemon following you, and definitely new megas if not new pokemon 🙂 I would love to get all of those…

      Reply
    • Unova was ‘returned’ to in Black 2 and White 2, as they expanded the region a surprising amount for a third game. (Black 2 and White 2 were supposed to be throwbacks to Gold and Silver, as they were the original ‘Pokemon 2’s before that was scrapped). In other words, there is no need to return to Unova at this point.

      Reply
      • This. I really don’t think Gen 6 will contain any regions other than Kalos. Still hoping for a Gen3 remake, but it’s very unlikely and sequels (Yellow, crystal, Emerald, Platinum, Black 2 white 2) don’t usually contain a different region than the first games of that generation.

        Reply
    • Dude, you can’t make the 3D better, there will be DLC to cover nearly evertything you wanted in that comment, focus on legendaries is pointless, they’re good enough now, there is no need of new protagonists, and if Team Rocket returns, no one wants to see Jessie and James, because screw the trio.

      Reply
        • All I can see is a bunch of pokenoobs who were literaaly introduced into pokemon in Gen V and watched the anime first. The forums where I come from would bash little scrubs like you for wanting a pointless copy game of the originals.

          Reply
          • Pokemon isn’t like COD where everyone thinks that they have to be better than everyone else. Its about everyone playing it how they want to.

          • Unfortunately, certain parts of the Pokemon Franchise ARE about being better than everyone else. That’s where the competitive aspect comes from.

          • True but whenever my friend shows me cod videos on YouTube, people aren’t competitive- there’s no respect; in the comments people hate and the video has a lot of dislikes. But pokemon on the other handhand (I watch Shofu)whenever a good play os made people like it and the videos have roughly 1℅ dislikes

          • I applaud your effort to intimidate us, but it seems to me like your a “pokenoob”. I have been playing pokemon since 1998 and watching the anime since 1997, so don’t boast about credentials. As for the game improvements, i have nothing further to say.

      • Sir, 3D isn’t even advalible in battles that arent single, also there is basically no 3D in the overworld. Plus there are frame rate issues when entered in 3D.

        The legnedarys are mentioned literally twice before you encounter one. Also new characters would give players a brand new storyline. Just because you can customoze the current two characters, doesn’t mean that they become new players.

        And Team Rocket is better thaneeing only one Rocket Grunt

    • “ActualIngameon voices (like Pikachu)”

      I admit that I wasn’t really paying attention to your comment until I saw this.

      I am a massive fan of the Anime and I would love to see the Anime’s voices carried over to the games. But it would be a lot of effort for them. I mean, Pikachu has the same name in every language. But then you go have a look at say charmander… http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Charmander#In_other_languages

      charmander has many different names, depending on the language. XY came in 7 languages, that means that pokemon’s voice would have to be recorded 7 times, and each variation of the voice (Notice how Pikachu makes different noises as it faints) too. It’d massively increase the size of the game. Not a problem if they have enough room on the game cards, but it’d be a big problem for downloadable game.

      THAT said… I do have an idea for a solution. Maybe they could give out free OPTIONAL voice packs as DLC. That is, if you don’t have a voice pack, the game plays the normal cries and if you do have a voice pack installed for the language you are using, it’ll play the voice cry.

      That’d cut down majorly on the size of the core game, and make the voice data completely optional. And since the voice only affects the person who has it installed, I see no reason why this would be negative.

  10. Ok, the story was just too forced in the games and poorly implemented; weak in general. I don’t know if they can fix it but adding backstory to AZ could be good because we only did see him here and there.

    Am I expecting new Megaevolutions? Did I just do that. That would be good but don’t want to be dissapointed so I’m assuming they won’t add any.

    And lastly more Post-Game please. I can’t stand it. I CAN’T. PLEASE.

  11. what I want is nothing until after ruby and sapphire are remade and or sequeled. seriously, shoulda happened last gen, and it’d be even better this gen

    Reply
  12. One main thing I didn’t like was the lack of depth to the gym leaders.
    Compare it to B/W, you kinda meet most before you face the gym (ie: Burgh in Pinwheel, Skyla in the tower), and even in the end, they group together to help you defeat the Sages (barre the Trio)
    Lysandre was the only developed character (for obvious reasons) but he still lacked some oomph.
    The champion, well she was kinda crap, let’s meet her once, maybe twice, then face her, afterwards she’ll trade you the base form of her signature pokemon because wynaut?!
    The general story was a bit more in depth however I still feel that again, something was lacking. It had the potential to be one of the best (starting from the conventional kiddy ploy to take over the world) by dealing with….death but nah, kinda meh IMO
    I hope with Z/X2,Y2/XZ,YZ or whatever if they make it, I want it to be a prequel to XY, showing the war(s), both civil and with other regions as mentioned. Bit more backstory to AZ (because lets be honest, who didn’t like that lil cutscene…?)
    I hope they do a brilliant job, let’s hope XY were just the tester games for something truly amazing

    Reply
  13. In Pokemon Z there has to be a Natural Disaster that Team Flare can cause! That’s the only way Zygarde can appear! I would like to see Overall better customization! I don’t think there should be a Sky Battling Gym Leader. Mostly, because some trainers will not have Flying Types. Inverse Battling Gym Leader sounds cool! Maybe, the last one! More Mega Evos too! Also, full 3D in the game!

    Reply
    • i thought it would be – Xerneus brought AZ’s floette back to life in the past, but in the present, team flare finds Yveltal’s cocoon and will use that as the catalyst for the doom machine, yveltal awakens and begins destroying stuff(or maybe the plan actually goes ahead without getting stopped)… and so Zygarde has to intervene, zygarde revives xerneus, xerneus and yveltal battle, player catches all 3

      Reply
      • Quite a bit of problems with your statement. Xerneas doesn’t control time. It cannot bring them to the past. AZ (not trying to sound dark) will likely die happy, now that he found Floette. Yveltal being controlled by Team Flare doesn’t cause a Natural Disaster. It has to be from the earth! In other words a “Environmental Disaster”. Why would Xerneas and Yveltal fight? They have no need to. Also, it would be a bit overwhelming to catch all 3 Legendaries at once. Maybe it might be a after game thing!

        Reply
        • By “in the past” I think Ethan Russell meant as a flashback sort of thing like it actually happened in the past. No time travel.

          Reply
        • what i meant with the yveltal thing is the weapon is activated, which is what would be causing the natural disasters.
          (also, Xerneus = life, yveltal = death, there is kind of a miajor reason right there as to why they would fight)(also, AZ is kind of immortal, he kind of can’t die),(also, never really stated you caught them all at once, though to be fair, i should’ve said the player would then be able to catch all three)

          Reply
    • But Team Flare was trying to protect the environment in a way right? It doesn’t make much sense to me why they would want to cause a natural disaster. Maybe I’m wrong

      Reply
  14. I personally enjoyed the story of X and Y a lot, it seemed a lot deeper where Black/White were kind of obvious, if that makes sense. The AZ storyline was great, loved the cut scenes! I would love for the next game to be a ‘gen 6.5’ with more pokemon, but the pokemon in this gen have been consistently good.

    I don’t think they can ever make sky battles a main part of the storyline, as you won’t always have pokemon that can participate. I often find myself struggling to keep a flying type on my team, though the option of levitating pokemon is good too. And I’m not sure if anyone has said this, but apart from it being a pokemon ‘thing’ to have a hat, I honestly think GF made you forcibly have a hat so players could be more varied on the PSS.

    Reply
  15. Alright lets get this straight…..this is Gamefreak’s FIRST 3D Main Series handheld pokemon game. So obviously there is PLENTY of improvement left to be made! They had a very LIMITED amount of time to finish this project and I say that they did an excellent job!!!! Even if pokemon Z improved upon the things that felt somewhat missing in X/Y, we can all agree that many of the surprises/emotions we felt playing X/Y for the first time will not be the same! I’m excited for Z and am definitely looking forward to it. But X/Y has definitely left an forever memorable impression on a fan that’s been around since the release of the original Red and Blue!

    That said besides the obvious (more pokemon, better story etc.). I want something more subtle: Different Background/Environments when we do wi-fi battles. We can change the music which is fantastic (Though I wish there were more soundtracks besides those 11), but why can’t we change the background? This is a very minor thing I would like in pokemon Z.

    Reply
    • Well said. As a starting point X/Y were fantastic. There are a lot of directions they can take now, with a sequel, and i personally hope for a more integrated story. Some very interesting characters have been introduced, and i hope they are expanded upon in the next game.

      Reply
    • What makes you think they had limited time to work on it? 3D models are time consuming, but they have been a thing since the N64 days. I love the models, but I’m not impressed.

      From my understanding, they have been working on X/Y since BW days. Considering how many corners they cut and features they left out, I can’t very much say I am impressed with their game, although it is fun and a well made one.

      Reply
      • It’s a company! Companies have deadlines to meet, and if they don’t meet them, they have to cut it short. But I’m curious what pokemon game were you impressed by? Because by your argument I don’t find any pokemon game impressive!

  16. Dear Pokéjungle Staff,

    I like NL’s prediction of the third game’s title being “Pokémon Zero”. It could happen. My brother and I think the next games will be “Pokémon A” and “Pokémon Z”. They could give more details about Arceus and Zygarde’s history as well as give more backstoty to AZ.

    Reply
  17. Pokemon Zero would make the perfect prequel for XY and also serve as the non-modern Kalos region game. They surprised us with sequels last time, they could survive us with a prequel this time. Pokemon AZ could also make a cool title, playing on “Z” and the trainer AZ.

    Reply
  18. A few things I want from the possible Pokemon Z (or whatever else they could call it).

    -An extra area to explore post game
    -The looker quests were interesting, I hope they expand them/make them more interesting or integrate them into the main story.
    -Rebattlable Gym Leaders.
    -Rebattleable Elite 4 with new rosters.
    -Vs Seeker.
    -Battle Frontier?

    Reply
      • Gym leaders have 2 Pokemon and the E4 have 3. I want to face them with full teams of 6. Also i want them to showcase some more Pokemon of their types…Maybe even do it in such a way that they have different Pokemon each time you face them

        Reply
  19. I know it’s very minor, but can we please stop calling Pokémon “it” if it has a gender. For example, “Gallade is confused. IT hurt ITSELF in confusion.” No, no! Gallade’s a male only species! It should say “HE hurt HIMSELF in confusion”. Same for Pokémon that can be female.

    It’s a very minor thing that’s bothered me for a while, and it’s so minor, I don’t see it changing…but it’d be nice.

    Reply
    • I get your point, but how could they tell if its a male or female? (besides the obvious sprite differences). The pokemon world has it so that they don’t have private parts, and also go “we have no clue how pokemon eggs got here they just pop up”

      Reply
      • True, but the gender sign shows up next to their name. Remember, these are the same games in which travelling to the next city takes a few seconds instead of hours. And these are the same games in which you can STILL fly on Pidgey.

        Reply
      • They would have to code it so the game can tell the difference, meaning they would have to make different variables for the genders, which they already kind of do when determining minor gender differences in the sprites/models. After that, they would have to alter the text depending on the found variable. They could do it, but it would be so time consuming and not worth it that they don’t care.

  20. I didn’t realize that Zygarde was a group of dancers, actors, or other entertainers who tour to different venues. Fascinating.

    Reply
  21. in a way, X and Y are pretty much the modern day Red and Blue. Similarities:

    -Snorlax blocking something and we needed a pokeflute
    -Mewtwo capturable post-game
    -Articuno/Zapdos/Moltres capturable
    -Able to choose Kanto starters
    -many kanto references as in “Professor Oak’s Grandson coming to kalos and learned how to say Bonjour”.

    Another similarity is that XY and RB were both given a limited time frame to get out to stores. RB had sequels GS that greatly improved upon the games content etc – so i’m pretty sure thats how the next games will be to XY. A new region where we can beat the game and go back to Kalos or something.

    Reply
  22. Like I said before, I think Zygarde should have a mega evolution. But I’m gonna add on to it. Maybe Team Flare is gathering all the elemental stones and putting them together to make the Zygardite? They did say that mega stones are made from various elemental stones (fire stone etc.). Plus, Lysandre did say that he has been working on a device similar to the Mega Ring. He used that device in the final battle with the trainer. Maybe Team Flare found the device, and started to enhance it? They could be causing earthquakes, rock slides, and avalanches to disrupt Zygardes slumber to capture its energy and make it a Mega Stone! After all, the pokedex states that Zygarde awakens when Kalos’ ecosystem is in danger.

    I love it. I hope the next game is more extensive. They can improve so much from x and y. I feel as though the clothing thing was kinda discriminating. Allow us to remove our hats and edit styles to be more country, street, elegant, whatever. What are we hiding? Antennas? New pokes and megas are a thing that should be added as well.

  26. I usually don’t have very many thoughts about game settings/story etc, but I’ll give it a go.

    Instead of making pokemon Z a few years in the future like every sequel/3rd series. I want pokemon Z to be in the PAST specifically like 200 years or even more! Think about how beautiful it would be to play a pokemon game in mideaval times, think about the scenery. I feel it would really give pokemon Z a fresh feeling while being an excellent starting point for a story in Z! It would go into detail about Xerneas/Yveltal/Zygrade’s origin, AZ’s origin, the great war etc.

    Just my few cents.

    • Me too. There are definitely a lot of mysteries left to be unsolved and the perfect place to fix that would be, Pokemon Z (or whatever it will be called).

      Hoenn deserves to come before. Can’t wait for them to be announced 😀

  40. I didn’t think anything was missing in X & Y. They were perfect (IMO)!

    The only thing I would address about these games is… MAKE THE POKE RADAR EASIER TO USE!!! Or just don’t include the Radar and make something better than it.

      • To be honest, I never really got into the Battle Frontier so much. Maybe that’s why it doesn’t bother me.

        I’m content with the post game because there’s still lots to do as a competitive battler with the breeding, catching, filling up the Pokedex, etc.

        Reply
        • Breeding, training and catching pokemon is very boring, most of the time i’m just pressing A until the game tell me to stop, the only good thing about IV and EV training is that the online battles are kinda fun. Also, there’s only one new city that unlocks after you beat the game and a annoying battle tower with no rental pokemon or any of the fun things that you could do in the battle frontier.

  43. Got a question about PokeRus and Super Training. After you do a round and get +8 or +12, etc., is it suppose to still show the original amount? Or you’re just supposed to factor in the 2x from PokeRus?

  48. I’m hoping that they’re going to break the 3 game tradition and go with more generations closer together. If anything, like Black 2/White 2 but with new Pokemon added. More features/pokemon can also be added to games using DLC.

  49. Its also possible they might do another paired sequel, or introduce this new region that everyone is so curious about. I could almost imagine the squeals breaking the typical mode. My guess for a name Pokémon X^2 and Pokémon Y^2

  50. i think they need to add new mega forms for counterpart pokemon and add all the current fariy types that wernt add into the kalos pokedex like cleffa and togepi and cottonee family lines and add a extra pokemon for the gym leaders and eliete four members and your rival needs a grass,fire and water for him or her like the element monkeys in santalune forest for example for the 5th or 6th slot

    Reply
  51. Here are my thoughts on…

    CHARACTERS
    Let’s be honest with ourselves here, much more focus could be put on ALL of the new Partner characters. We go on a sidequest with Shauna one time (and she tags along near the end game) but other than that it’s always SERENA SERENA SERENA (if you’re playing as a boy that is). Tierno and Trevor barely even register on the map other than appearing once or twice, I mean Dexio and Sina have more relevance than they do. Also, we really need to battle them more than just that one time, and have them rebattleable in the game. Finally, STOP HAVING THEM RUN AWAY FROM TEAM FLARE. It makes them look like really weak and horrible Pokemon trainers, which they really aren’t (to be honest, Tierno gave me more trouble than Serena ever did and he had half the amount of Pokemon).

    Sidenote for characters: Gym leaders should appear outside of their gyms in the story like in B/W and B2/W2. That really helped characterize them and the Kalos Gym Leaders certainly look like an interesting bunch to learn about. Same goes for Diantha, I mean Malva, her inferior, gets more development in her. In conclusion, EVERYONE needs more exposure. This game did a pretty bad job with characterization, the Looker sidequests excluded (I feel more sympathy for the guy who started the end of the world against orders than for the guy who wanted to save everyone and went crazy doing it, just sayin’).

    POKEMON
    Pretty much on the mark, I’d like more Pokemon, or at least some more forms. The least we could get is some more Mega Pokemon after the itty bitty amount of Pokemon we currently have. I’d really appreciate some Pokemon to connect Gen V to VI to make V less of a standalone Generation. Also, I feel there was some MAJOR pandering to Gen I brats, when really the Gen III guys need some love right now (I’m a Gen II person for the record, but I really love IV and V the most, just sayin’).

    MECHANICS
    I was thinking maybe Olympia or Wulfric should have Inverse Battles. Olympia because of her cosmic powers, Wulfric because:
    A) That would be perfect for a final boss to have some sort of crazy power, and the 8th Gym IS a final boss.
    B) Ice is a very weak type IIRC, so that would definitely give him an advantage since he’s a pretty bad 8th Gym Leader. Although, I like the way he put it in his pre-battle speech.
    As for Flying Battles, the fact that you need to actively search for them is pretty annoying, especially if you’re not crazy about them. Also, trainer horde battles, just sayin’.

    In addition, I completely understand why there are so limited clothing options for now, but since it’s an obvious WIP, I’m cool with it.

    Sidenote for mechanics: Psssssssssssst, Pokestar Studio 2. Diantha’s an actress, just sayin’.

    MINI GAMES
    Pokemon Amie is totally perfect, I’d have furniture unlock more ways to earn affection and appear in the 3D mode, just sayin’. Super Training I’d make less annoying to do (IE, easier to find bags walking around, unlimited bag holding), especially when you’re starting out. No comment on PR videos.

    ONLINE FUNCTIONALITY
    Online Inverse, Horde, and Flying Battles, just sayin’.

    WRAP UP
    Pokemon Origin is the (0,0), also Pokemon Zero doesn’t play into the Grid aspect because it’d have to be a lone Z to represent the Z direction… But that’s just my take.

    If you’ve actually read all this, thanks for your time and sorry you had to bear with this.

      • MMM… I’m thinking more of, like, some story with a certain pokémon loving character like N. The side story would be crucial to the game, however, with some epic ending some time around the 7th gym. But that’d be really cool, too.

        Reply
        • I see what you’re saying kinda. I think N needs a comeback. He flew off to another region after Black and White, but I don’t think it ever told where.

          Reply
          • Yeah. I’m thinking that N needs a place in the next game, too. And revising my thought, I think it’d be better if Diancie took a role in the game(kinda like what Suicune was like in Crystal with Eusine) that interfered with the evil team’s plans, but didn’t take a huge role.

  57. So… Although I’m usually against this because of my personal beliefs… The PokeCommunity considers Goomy a god and Espurr Satan?

      There are only two ground types in this gen, both are part ground. This is the same for poison type. There is also only one bug type line and that is the beginning bug. I really wanted something different than “the average butterfly” on my team. That is the only reason why i don’t like about the few number of pokemon.

  74. I’m not catching any of my party members in the hoenn remakes/sequels. The reason why is because I will be getting my starter from Birch and the rest I will breed (I will trade myself the parents and breed them in Hoenn so they will have my trainer’s ID).

    It’s not traditional, but I can’t help it. That’s not a bad thing right?

    Reply
    • However you want to play. It’s your game haha. I just want the Metagross my friend traded me before his mom made him quit playing them….he knew before hand so he wanted me to have it to keep it safe since he knew it was my favorite. that’s why i love metagross so much. and again, that is an odd way to go about getting your pokemon but hey, that’s what makes all this awesome: finding and using different things in these games. keeps it interesting.

      Reply
      • Yeah that does make the adventure all more interesting. That’s too bad about your friend, but nice that he gave his metagross to you. The reason why my five other members will be bred is because I want them to have their hidden abilities and three of them are post Gen III pokémon (Zorua, Sewaddle, and Honedge), and they won’t be catchable in Hoenn, and if they are, it’ll be post-game.

        Reply
        • Yeah that makes sense then. To have their Hidden Abilities that is. And I’ve moved away from there and found him on facebook a while ago and found out that he even plays the games now so that’s awesome and he said i can keep the Metagross haha. he wouldn’t take away a pokemon like that so that’s awesome. but we shall arrive back to Hoenn soon…back home. It will be a glorious day indeed.

          Reply
          • No no that’s totally fine! I love that image you gave me, and I see it clearly. I’ve noticed your profile pic is of a Shiny Metagross. It’s amazing. Do you happen to have a shiny Metagross? That image could become a reality WHEN Hoenn is confirmed.

            My favorite Pokémon is Mawile, and I’m so happy that Mawile got the fairy typing and a Mega. What was once forgotten and feeble, is now forever remembered and over powered. I wanted to use Mawile for a long time in past games, but was hesitant because of its low stats. But all that changed with XY! I finally used my favorite, my star Pokémon, to the best of his (yes he is male) capabilities! Before Megaevolution was announced, I was afraid that if Mawile got an evolution, that evolution would replace Mawile as my favorite Pokémon. However, that didn’t happen, as a matter of fact, something better happened. He got a Megalution, a type of evolution that allows the user to temporarily reach legendary levels in battle. But in the end, IT’S STILL MAWILE!!!

            I wish to travel to the land where my favorite Pokémon made his debut. Yes, he is native to Kalos, but his roots are from Hoenn. Sorry I dragged on so long.

          • When it comes to things like this, the story can never be too long. And about the do I have a shiny Metagross. Yes I do. The one he gave me is shiny and on my team. I don’t know if it can transfer to X and Y because I still don’t know exactly how he got it. He loved his game shark so i’m not sure. But yes I do haha. And I really love Mawile too. I prefer female Mawile honestly but that’s just me. And I am rather happy about her mega as well. And I just love that she got the fairy typing as well. Now if Metagross gets a Mega I think I’ll lose it. Hell, if i work on my drawing skills, I’ll draw that picture of me and my Metagross on the cliff and I’ll be sure to post it here. And maybe, for the hell of it, have the trainer saying “We’re going home, old friend. We’re going home.”

          • Everytime I start a new adventure, I say to myself “I’m on an adventure!”, just as Bilbo Baggins said in The Hobbit, but with an accent. I see why you think of Mawile mostly as a female Pokémon, most people do. It’s because of its voice in the anime and the PokéPark series isn’t it? That and the fact that it’s based on the Futakuchi-onna, a woman in Japanese folklore who was cursed to have a second mouth on the back of her head isn’t it? I think of it as a gender neutral Pokémon because it looks and sounds like it (with the baggy pants, cry, and face). Also, it’s gender ratio is 50/50.

            When fairy was first confirmed on 6/11 (my bro’s birthday), I was one of those people who were afraid that the fairy type would be a girly type. With Sylveon, Jigglypuff, and Gardevoir being girly Pokémon (at least, that’s what lots of people thing, including myself) and the fact that the type was light pink. When Mawile’s type change was rumored, I was afraid GF would make it look very feminine with bright pink all over it’s body! However, later on, when Swirlex was revealed, and Xerneas’ typing was confirmed, I had hope for the new type being gender neutral because those pokémon look gender neutral (honestly, Swirlex really shouldn’t have a gender to begin with…it’s freaking cotton candy!).

            On 8/8 (the day the Biggest Scoop of the Century was announced by Coro Coro), Megaevolutions were announced. That was such a great day for me! I was so happy! Sadly, when I first saw the page, part of Mega Mawile was blocked off. But when I saw two giant Mouth Horns, the first thing I said to myself was “They did it! THEY FINALLY DID IT!” Mawile can now reach the Maximum Power it always dreamed of!

            It’s funny. A month before Megaevolutions were announced, I was thinking of a name for a Mawile evolution. I saw some interesting names on devianart like Mawville and Malevora. I couldn’t think of a name on my own, for my made up Mawile evolution (that my bro drew for me). So I called him Mega Mawile. I’m dead serious! The reason why is because in Digimon, the highest level a digimon can reach is Mega. Normally, a digimon in its first stage (I don’t could baby stages) has to digivolve three times to reach that level. But rarely, a first stage digimon, with enough determination, can skip those three levels (Warp-Digivolve) and immediately jump to Mega. IDK if you’re into Digimon, so everything I just said may be confusing.

            I’ll wrap it up quickly. I would love to see that drawing someday. I would like to show you my bro’s fan-made drawing of Mega Mawile someday. I enjoyed these chats. I look forward to more of them soon. Wanna be friends? My FC is: 5412-9983-7936. I’m going to bed. Thank you and good night!

          • Yeah, it’s mostly because of the Onna really. And I love digimon so I know what you mean haha. And when I have the drawing done (if I can even do it), I’ll make sure to get it here. 3067-4715-5038 ((Sorry I haven’t replied, Disqus fucked up on me again))

          • Sounds good. I like to compare Mawile with Beezlemon. Both were weak and underrated, but became insanely power when they Mega Evolved. I added you. I would have told you earlier, but I faced Disqus’ problems too.

          • yeah, i can see why that would be. and he’s one of my favorites really haha. and i added you too so..yeah haha. and at least mawile is something to be feared again.

          • Mawile was something to be feared before? When was this? In Generation III? I wouldn’t know, I never played R/S/E.

            Thanks for adding me BTW!

          • well, my mawile anyway haha. sure it wasn’t the best, but mine was still pretty good is all. mawile was my signature pokemon that wasn’t a legendary haha (the legendary spot was held by Kyoger of course). huh, those were awesome days.

          • Glad to hear. On a different subject, my bro really wants to use Sableye in the Hoenn Remakes/Sequels. It’s a shame it didn’t get a Megalution even though it’s counterpart did. However, I was lucky enough to get a Sableye w/ Prankster from GTS and bred her w/ a Volbeat so I could get a male Prankster Sableye w/ Moonlight. He’s very happy, and if he supertrains him, I’m sure he will wreck the whole metagame!

          • haha awesome. i hope everything goes well. and sableye may get a mega in Hoenn. nothing says they can’t add more in it.

          • I’m sure they’ll add more Megas. It wouldn’t be fair if Sceptile, Swampert, and Sableye didn’t get them. Hope everything goes well too!

          • yeah. there really should be more. at least it’s all but confirmed that the ones we have are just the intro ones. i can’t wait for Mega Swampert (and Metagross…and Kyoger..yes i want a Mega Kyoger, it would be awesome). And I still want to know what’s with the fifth meteor in the lab? Just have to wait for transfer

          • I also hope there will be Megas for Metagross and Milotic because they are the Hoenn Champions’ star Pokémon. And if Metagross gets one, then so should Salamence (I don’t want another Sableye moment again). I would love to see Megas for the Weather Trio! Imagine seeing them as the mascots! Yes there are three of them, so I wonder how it could be done…three Hoenn remake games maybe?

          • Yeah, I think all the pseudo-legendaries need them haha. And maybe they would just have Mega Groudon and Mega Kyoger as mascots but still have the other in game (I can’t spell its name at all). And hopefully there will be other ones getting Megas and not just all Hoenn (though it would make sense either way. whole new batch, or just ones for Hoenn, both seem fair).

          • Rayquaza was the third mascot. Yes, hopefully, there will be more megas for non Gen III Pokémon as well; Gen V and VI should get them by Gen VII at least! This is my first time waiting for remakes of old gen games to become official. What I want to know is how it’s done. I know the first two games are remaked, but what do they do about the third one? Do they combine it in the remakes like how Suicune (like Crystal) plays a subtle role in HG/SS?

          • I know which it is, just not the spelling; but I’ll be sure to try to remember haha. And I wouldn’t be surprised if they put megas for Gens 5 and 6, maybe not as many, but at least have them there. And I really haven’t played remakes honestly. I just didn’t care for them as much. I think it’s mostly because I didn’t play the first two (though I did get firered and leafgreen haha). Though, considering Gen3 was the first with a real trio of legendaries, I really don’t know if they’ll just make two of if they’ll do one for each. Though, if they really did just to Sapphire and Ruby, that wouldn’t surprise me either. What would surprise me about it would be if they put the Megas on the covers haha. I’d prefer the regulars be on the covers and Megas showed maybe a month or two after in corocoro or something like that.

  75. I think Pokemon Giftig is overdue.
    Sure you can always trade and have the friend you want to give something put a random bidoof in the trade, but its not much of a surprise at that point.

    I mean there has been NPCs that simply give you a Pokemon, without requiring something in return since the beginning. How come that’s not doable between players?

    Reply
  76. I really hope they take another look at the type chart.. All they did was nerf Dragons and add a new tough and powerful type. The obvious defensive flaws are still there.

    How they went through having Kyurem on 2 covers and keep making late Ice gyms game after game, but never notice how weak those turn out is beyond me.

    There is no reason why Ice shouldn’t resist something besides itself (while being weak to common offensive types like Fire, Fighting and Rock of all things..and now Steel gaining popularity due to Fairy too!), like Water and Ground.

    Reply
    • This is honestly why I hope that the second region of Gen6 is true along with them making the Sound Type (just my favorite fake type is all so just replace with “second new type” if you have to) would be real to make it more balanced too, maybe give ice more power and popular types another weakness. and the ice gyms…that could be fixed with a new type too in a way. and i’ve always loved Steel Types (main reason is Metagross and that reason is in another conversation here).

      Reply
      • I’m not expecting any new types anytime soon (srsly they need to fix the type chart, not make it bigger), but the one type I could actually find appropriate and still missing would be a Wind type.

        But the arguments for it are pretty much just as flawed as those for Sound and even Light, although these two feel a tad too plain/vague to me. Especially Sound, because plenty of Pokemon start out with the generic Normal status move Growl, because thats what frankly any monster can do. Sound is one of the very scarce pseudo-types that gives Normal some special damaging moves.
        It also has some retconing issues due to stuff like Noivern and Seismitoad already being fine dual types.

  78. This is just my opinion on why Pokemon Z/XZ &YZ/XY/ whatever else there is, are more likely to be released than a Hoenn sequel/remake. (THIS ONLY MY OPINION)

    I personally think that Hoenn remakes/sequels are very unlikely because:

    1: Hoenn used to have the exclusive Regirock, Regice and Registeel but since BW2, Hoenn now has no Pokemon that make it exclusive anymore.

    2. Too much water. Surfing on a Lapras in Hoenn would be great but there’s just too little land compared to how much water after the 6th gym. You have to surf this water for the 7th gym, climax of the story, 8th gym, victory road, Rayquaza, the regi’s puzzle and I think but I can’t remember, the Battle Frontier.

    3. Even though Hoenn is mentioned in Pokemon X & Y, there’s no point in saying that has any relevance because EVERY region is mentioned in the game.

    4. A new region is mentioned in the game by a person in a hotel differently each time you speak to him before he gives you the strange souvenir. He mentions a town, a facility and a champion and always ends by saying “oh, never mind, you’ll see it in due time” or something like that. And after you receive the strange souvenir, he mentions that he doesn’t come from Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, Sinnoh or Unova.

    5. Bad enemy team/s. Team Magma and Team Aqua’s plots were quite stupid and I know people will tell me that there’s no logical point in enemy teams in games in general but if you think about it, Team Rocket’s, Team Galactic’s, Team Plasma’s and Team Flare’s plans all made sense and with each team, the plot has been getting better and better. After Team Flare, bringing Team Magma and Team Aqua back would be a step backwards.

    6. The dead Battle Frontier. I know I’ll really get insulted for this because people liked the Battle Frontier and I never really used it because I didn’t see the point but the reason I put this point up is because Pokemon has gotten ridden the Battle Frontier for 2 generations now and it’s been replaced by facilities that do the exact same thing as the main facility of the Battle Frontier, the Battle Tower.

    In conclusion (and again,this is only MY OPINION), for Hoenn to have a decent remake/sequel, it would have to replace it’s enemy team and increase it’s landmass and since it’s wild Pokemon found would be changed as well to keep it within generation 6, this would make an almost entirely new region which wouldn’t be Hoenn.

    • Surfing zone was one of the best things about Hoenn region. Don’t ever touch it, please and I think their intentions make Team Magma and Team Aqua unique in a good way.

      Reply
    • None of those reasons have factual evidence behind them, they’re purely opinionated. The fact that Hoenn is mentioned multiple times is a clear hint that a remake is on the way. You’re trying to tell me they won’t remake the game because the teams plot is stupid? How does that make sense?

      Reply
      • Again, I said it was only my opinion and even though Hoenn is mentioned multiple times in Pokemon X & Y, every region is mentioned multiple times so if you think that since Hoenn is mentioned multiple times it has a remake, you’re pretty much saying that every region including Unova has a remake on the way.

        Reply
        • Sure, regions are mentioned all the time, but not as constantly as Hoenn has. It can’t be made more obvious that these are all hints, and it’s not like hints have never been added to games before either.

    • Reasons why Hoenn should get remakes

      Best region: the Hoenn regions is by far the most interesting and beautiful region. Most others are very boring with very similar routes over and over again.

      Diversity in routes and cities: the water routes add some diversity to otherwise very stale and boring routes. Not to mention the diversity added to most of the major cities ( fortree, mosdeep, sootopolis, pacifidlog)

      Better villain plot than team rocket and team galactic: team rocket didn’t really have a defined plot. While Team aqua/magma plot seems very far fetched, how can you honestly say Team galactics is any better…

      The battle frontier: best addition to a pokemon game since forever. No other battle facility even compares.

      In conclusion this ins only an opinion, but I think this is why. Hoenn deserves a remake, with updated graphics and gameplay.

      Reply
      • …In what universe is team Galactic’s plot worse than Team Magma’s/Aqua’s (see what I did there)

        Although honestly, Magma and Aqua just wanted to change the landscape, no power for them, no real motive. Whereas team Galactic has the ultimate motive, total control of the universe, made in their image.

        • My point was mainly in contrast to the point above. Basically I was trying to make a point, that these are all just opinions, and everyone has different ones, nothing more, nothing less, but these should not be used as justification for why something should or should not happen…

          Reply
          • Fair enough, I feel like an idiot for not appreciating the satire. Obviously you now know my opinion on the matter. As for Hoenn getting remakes, I’m neutral on the matter. I feel all regions deserve a remake, that being said, I’m still waiting for a Sinnoh remake.

        • Although in answer to your question, both plots were in essence to destroy something in order to make something different so that they could increase their control over said new creation. You see the similarity?

          Reply
      • I agree. Technically Galactic would be doing the same thing as Magma and Aqua combined; it’s just a bigger production and is more dramatic.

        Reply
      • I found Hoenn to be one of the more boring regions when compared to say, Johto, Sinnoh and Unova, and updated graphics won’t help it very much at all.

        When comparing cities in regions, I have to say that Unova wins for me, because each time I entered a town or city, it didn’t feel like a boring or “meh” experience.

        Again the villain plot was horrible compared to even Team Rocket’s. Team Rocket wanted to be rich and rule the world in Kanto and then in Johto their goal was to reunite Team Rocket by getting Giovanni back. Team Galactic’s goal was even better in my opinion because Cyrus’ goal was to end the world and then create it in his own image which is a great plot. Team Aqua and Team Magma were absolute morons and near the end of the plot itself, they finally realized that they had completely f***ed themselves and this was represented pretty well in the anime as well.

        The Battle Frontier does rank pretty high implements considered but here is a list of implements that were WAY better than the Battle Frontier:

        Double Battles
        The Judge
        Battle Institute
        Abilities
        Trainer Customization
        Breeding
        Super Training
        Pass Powers in BW and O Powers in X & Y
        Friend Safari
        Mega Evolution
        Consecutive Fishing
        Pokeradar
        etc…

        The list can go on and on about much better implements than the Battle Frontier which is more of a side quest for bored-to-death people more than anything.

        I gonna to pick on the one point you did not defend. All that water. There’s no defending that the Hoenn Region was more of a small ocean island than anything. And as I said in my previous comment, for Hoenn to have a DECENT remake/sequel, you have to replace the enemy team, widen the variety of Pokemon and legendaries and also change the region quite a bit, so you’d be creating an entirely new region with vaguely familiar cities. Even after that, a 7th Generation or a Pokemon Z looks ten times much better.

        Reply
        • You make some very fair points, and I respect you for them. However it doesn’t change the fact that to me Pokemon Emerald was the best Pokemon game I have played (with x/y coming very close). Maybe I can pin this down to it being one of the first games I played, or maybe I simply like the Hoenn region and pretty much all the Pokemon introduced.
          Of course there have been a lot of features introduced in the games after Emerald, however I cannot think of any games other than Emerald ( be it gen 4 or gen 5) where my playtime clocked into over 100hrs. In DPPt, what do I do after I have completed the game, in BW, BW2, what do I do after I compete the game.
          XY has introduced something I have wanted for ages, easy connectability, to allow easy access to multiplayer features. It’s this reason and this reason alone, that I have currently 150hrs of playtime on my Pokemon Y.
          We can argue for days, about the story, region, villainous teams, but at the end of day, I won’t change your opinion and you won’t change mine.

          • This is not continuing on the argument but these are the play times I have had on some of the best games I’ve owned.

            Diamond: 163 Hours

            Pokemon X : 427 Hours
            Pokemon Y: 139 Hours

    • What if, in Pokémon Ruby’s remake, there is and abundance of water and lakes where there used to be land(and a lot of manmade floating cities, tunnels, etc.), thus creating new water type pokémon. So, in Sapphire’s remake, there might be a lot of land where there used to be ocean. (thus revealing and creating new land pokémon) Just a thought.

  81. I freaking loved Pokemon Amie, it’s definitely my favorite addition to the series.

    I agree on the customization aspect though, as someone who picked the female trainer, I was disappointed that all of the clothes I might have worn in real life were only for the male trainer, and if Animal Crossing was cool with either gender having access to both gender’s clothing items, I don’t see why Pokemon shouldn’t be (other then possibly having to tweak the models slightly… I think I’m going to end up playing as the male trainer in later games if they don’t fix it so that I can wear jackets that actually cover my stomach, the ones they made would be fine if they just made additional options for people who don’t dig that look as much as others)

      • By using Instacheck. That program that you get guaranteed shinies by trading eggs with other people who have the same Trainer Value/Shiny Value as you. I think it’s no fun because after a while, I would imagine you would be like,”Oh yay… A shiny. Woohoo.”

        It’s much better to work for the shiny than to get it through illegitimate yet legitimate ways. That’s just my opinion though.

  82. I’ve heard some speculation about an expansion to X&Y due to the rail at Couriway Town and the handful of hints to another land sprinkled throughout the game. I wouldn’t be surprised if Z was actually a large expansion to X&Y, which I honestly would prefer than to a completely new game because the stuff to expand on X and Y seem to be somewhat minimal.
    With tech as it is now, and the 3DS capable of downloads and updates, it would make more sense to sell an expansion that gave you a whole new town (or two) and another miniature story arc that ties in with AZ’s storyline (particularly with the leak of possibly being able to get his Flabebe).
    To tie in with some of your predictions (and how it could possibly be an expansion than a new game)…
    Mechanics: If there is a new town or two where you can visit via the Couriway Town rail/train you would get a new set of clothing stores and possibly new hair options too. Although I wouldn’t suspect adding a new gym for Sky/Inverse battles I could easily see a Battle Maison set up where the specialties are Sky/Inverse battles.
    Pokemon: This town could easily hold more stones for mega evolutions to incorporate that. As well as new areas to find new pokemon.
    Story: I would love to learn more about AZ as that wasn’t really covered in the main story arc too much. (Also learn to how he’s so freakin’ old and ridiculously tall….)
    Mini-games: I’m hoping that they come back with the Contests as that’s one of the things that I really enjoyed in previous versions as the Pokemon Amie and Super Training really didn’t interest me too much, either.

    So I’m shooting for an expansion (which I’m sure they will still want money for but that’s to be expected). Or I suppose it could also be both an expansion and a game. 😀

  83. One thing also, lots of cliffhangers in XY…well more unanswered mysteries
    One thing came to mind that would sorta relate to a ‘Pokemon Z’
    When you go to the house on the Laverre Trail and get told the scary story, something interesting was said
    Along the lines of ‘horde of faceless men’
    A horde has 5 Pokemon….what new pokemon looks like it has 5 faces…? If you’re still stuck, it begins with Z

  84. I am very confused. I’m breeding two Skiddo, one with Hp and defense iVs and one with attack ivs with a destiny knot. Why the heck am I getting every other EV? They all have speed, hp, defense or sp. Defense…

    Reply
    • Since the Destiny Knot takes 5 out of the 12 total IVs available, it’s a toss up with which IVs it takes from each parent.
      For instance, it could take the HP, Sp. Atk, and Speed from one Skiddo, Atk and Sp. Defense from the other, and then the Defense is randomly generated with a slightly higher chance of being perfect since the one parent has perfect Defense.
      Basically, it’s completely random. Sometimes you get lucky early on or you’ll have to grind out a few batches. Remember to keep substituting new offspring with better IVs with the current parents for maximum efficiency.
      Hope this helps you out somewhat

  85. You know if you count the Mega evos as new there would be a total of 102 new Pokemon. That includes the 3 event legendaries and the LAti@s mega evos.

        • Lava Dome Pokemon = Heatran event. He’s classified as the Lava Dome Pokemon.

          the Power Plant has 3 locked doors, I think these could possibly contain Diancie & friends since they are based off energy creation.

          Alexa’s letter = definitely a new legend for next game.
          The ghost girl scared me. Almost as bad as the old man’s scary story which had no relevance to the main story. Also find it odd how he mentioned he was attacked by a HORDE of faceless men, keyword being horde because that is a new mechanic this gen and he went out of his way to describe these faceless men that attacked him.

          Reply
          • I was thinking that too, but it’s possible that Volcanion could be the new Lava Dome Pokémon. There was a Heatran event in B2W2 so I don’t see why they would do it again.

            Who knows what’s behind those doors. The legendaries could be there. Perhaps new Mega Stones. Heck, the meaning of life could be behind those doors!

            Alexa’s letter = perhaps she’s trying to catch Diancie.

            I was afraid I spoiled the ghost girl for you. I’m so glad you knew about her already. I wish I had encountered her without being spoiled. She still scared me. That guy was just making up the story, but it’s so weird how they had that event be forced upon you even though it had nothing to do with the plot. Pokéstar Studios much?

  86. Would like to point out, the coordinates for the origin in 3 planes (3D) would be (0,0,0), not (0,0).

    Also naming the third game after a point on the graph makes less sense than the 3 planes. Why would Nintendo make the reference to planes X and Y for a THREE-DIMENSIONAL game, without a game for the Z plane? The origin can be in both 2D and 3D graphs, so why cause confusion with 2D? It doesn’t make logical sense (the analogy for Pokemon Gray does not apply to this).

    Other than that, i’m hoping for more pokemon (not likely), more mega evolutions (very likely), more customization, a different story, maybe a different beginning town (like B2W2), no new gym leaders are necessary but maybe switch up the order a bit (like fighting girl before rock guy, etc,) and a DECENT post game.

    Reply
  87. Another minor change I would like to see in the next games is more logic. I know what you’re thinking, “Logic in a Pokémon game? Preposterous!” but bear with me. For example, when there’s a blackout in Lumiose City, you can clearly see the lights on in the buildings in the background at night.

  89. My own personal dream games would be:

    Third Game to XY
    – release this game first to finish up the empty void that XY story left.
    – include around 5-10 new Mega Evolutions, including one for Zygarde.
    – include around 50 brand new Pokemon (dubbing it Gen 6.5)
    – slight enhancements to Amie
    – more clothes in Trainer Customization
    – return of friend safari’s with more diverse Pokes.
    – completely new region that after you finish, Professor gives you a ticket to board train to an enhanced Kalos region where you must obtain the next 8 badges (total of 16 like HGSS).

    R/S Remakes/Updates

    – two games cause Nintendo likes money and they’ll sell like hotcakes
    – two new Protagonists (trainer customization returns)
    – Brendan/May are our new friends (think Trevor, Shauna etc)
    – include another 5-10 brand new Mega Evolutions.
    – Choose Hoenn starter in LittleRoot, and then Brendan gives us a Johto starter (since he’s from Johto) once we reach Rustboro City.
    – Steven Stone researching Mega Stones in the Hoenn region (gives you Beldum holding Metagrossite once you beat game)
    – Keldeo found on Mystery Island (along with the infamous and infinite amount of Wynaut which can now appear in Hordes and have increased shiny rate on the island) [would give us the our first legal shiny Keldeo that we can soft reset for]
    – The other 3 musketeer’s running wild around Hoenn after you beat the game.
    – Secret Bases return and they work like Friend Safari’s. If you have a person registered in your 3DS friends their Secret Base will appear in your game but you can’t battle their default team unless you beat elite 4.
    – Faraway Island Ticket distrubuted the first month the games come out, allowing us to take a ferry to catch Mew (think Victini Liberty Island event)
    -Mega Kyogre/Groudon as the new box art.

    i was trying to think of more cool things they could implement but can’t lol.

    • well we now have the Kanto/Johto league, the Hoenn league, the Sinnoh league, the Unova league, and the Kalos league. So my thoughts are for a major post game to increase the max level to something like 300 and to have us travel through everywhere and getting the badges for each area and beating their respective elite fours and champions. Then after all of this is done we go to a new island area that we have to use a new environment move, not an HM, to get through and we find at the end the league of champions. we can battle them as an elite four in any battle style we choose and we have the champion of champions be from our favorite region and we have to have 2 separate battle with separate styles with them before we truly win. This would be to show our mastery over pokemon battling. Then when we win, we can go to an all new area that allows us to buy master balls and we can meet the protagonists from the prior gens and can help them out or compare stories and battle them

  97. Now I really liked X/Y. The games were a lot of fun. But it was really obvious that Gamefreak held back a lot of development. Before anyone freaks out, that doesn’t mean the games are bad…all companies produce less for more return nowadays. It wasn’t until Pokemon X/Y that I officially got pissed off by this cheating.

    X/Y had a lot of potential where things felt purposely left out not for the mystery, not for the headcannon, not for the discussions or involvement of its followers, but because of laziness. This laziness can be due to a lot of things…usually time constraints, sometimes just sheer laziness. Gamefreak isn’t a huge company (only 85 employees!) so I understand them cutting corners. But to price a game at 40 dollars with even less content than previous games? Come on. I would have even accepted DLC, but they aren’t apparently doing that (they claimed it was so players can enjoy what is on the unit itself…that’s a load, it’s because it’s time consuming and pricy and f*** that).

    There weren’t a lot of Pokemon…kinda annoying but, well, least they focused a lot on designs. Story horribly paced with linear characters. Okay so they didn’t focus there…have make it simple for the kids right? No post game. WTF? No extra areas to explore besides Friend Safari which are all literally the same patch of grass. Oh come on. For as hyped as this game was, I was really expecting more…which I shouldn’t, because this is how companies work now.

    I believe what we will see in ‘Z’ is basically what they did in Emerald, maybe what they did in Plat. In Emerald, it was the same game but small story changes so that the two previous versions ‘mixed’. That’s possible here due to the similarities between R/S/E legends and the legends of this gen. Plat just added some content to the original story, which this game pretty desperately needs. GF is either hiding a lot, or, they copped out which is just as possible. And probably most likely.

    Other than that, if they aren’t doing a sequel to which I doubt they could as the story doesn’t have anywhere to go, I doubt Z will bring much to the plate here.

    • I do agree with you on all points! However, your first point doesn’t seem to ring much. Let me reiterate, “TIME CONSTRAINTS”. This is a company! Companies have deadlines! The more ambitious you are, the more prone you are to not meet deadlines under time constraints. Do you honestly think that gamefreak was lazy? I think gamefreak was overambitious and wasted a ton of time trying to implement feature that they were unable to finish and were cut last minute (i.e the pokemon speech translator that Masuda mentioned). That said, if this was your list for laziness in X/Y, I can make the list 10 times longer for laziness in BW!

  102. Breeding Malamar and Chinchou is a pain because it’s rare for them to lay eggs together and i need that outstanding speed chinchou to breed with my chinchou to create a perfect iv chinchou. Then i can give away my 5 iv chinchou. Also, chinchou.

  104. they should make a game where you can go to all the regions and the orange island and the battle frontier with team rocket. Also you should get Pikachu as your first Pokémon and be able to catch all starters like ash did and travel with Brock , Misty, Tracey, May, Dawn,Iris Dawn and all the other things ash did.

  105. I made a map for a fake region like a couple of weeks before I found out about this fan game. It is based on a large gem and has little diamond islands outside of it. Totally not suitable for the game, but I just wanted to bring it up lol.

    Reply
  106. I really, really, REALLY don’t think we need any more Pokemon to be introduced in Z. The fandom is going to have to settle with having fewer Pokemon than usual. Do we really need that many more? Honestly? At this point? No, I really don’t think we do.

    Additionally, I have a theory about a possible plot element for Z that I wanted to get some input on. *SPOILERS!*

    Consider this: Lysandre is now immortal, just like AZ.
    I mean, AZ turned immortal after being exposed to the ultimate weapon, right? Well, so did Lysandre. Ignoring the subsequent rockfall that crushed Team Flare’s HQ, Lysandre seems like he’s in the exact same situation AZ was in 3000 years ago. Maybe living forever will give him time to reflect on how misguided his original goals were?

  107. Everyone’s like “oh mine has 5 perfect IVs”. I’m like “what the heck I only know how to get them from the friend safari”. Let’s just say, I FEEL STUPID BECAUSE IVS ARE THE ONLY THING I DONT KNOW IN POKEMON. (I know about the rater in Kiloude City lol)

  108. How do you know when someone is a noob at pokemon.

    one of my friends told me to trade my zapdos for a shiny skorupi on the gts. I said no because i wanted to keep my zapdos and she said to breed it. FACEPALM.

    Also, about a week ago i sent her a picture of my shiny clauncher to which she replied “You still play that? lol”

    Not a true fan.

        • well, I already suggested a pokemon that lures prey by coiling and spits toxins that causes muscles to decompose, I suppose we could get more gruesome

          Reply
          • Personally, i like creepy because it reminds us that even the world of pokemon isn’t perfect. It doesn’t need to be gruesome but the idea is nice.

        • Actually, connecting every odd thing in Lumoise, I suspected that the hex girl waiting for the elevator is either the sister of or the same person. The hex girl was in danger at the train station and her sister went for help. The hex girl was chased into an alley and murdered, the guy in hotel richissime who says something about
          “Where have you gone my love leaving me and azumarill all alone” He was her significant other and she is dead but nobody knows, to them shes missing.

          Reply
          • I thought he was talking about a painting or something? I don’t think that’s related. People are also suspecting that the ‘help’ was related to the Looker quest somehow but was scrapped. I like your idea better though it doesn’t relate to the elevator (she complains she can’t hear it) nor ‘the one’ (the ghost girl is looking for someone specific). Unless the elevator is the girl listening for someone to come to the ‘usual place’.

  113. Ok, I know this may sound crazy, but what if instead of a new region in the third version (or sequels), we visit southern Kalos. Which would feature new pokemon and post-game you get to visit Northern Kalos. I got this idea from Kiloude City’s map description: “a perfect image of Southern Kalos life.”

    To get money quickly, go to Restaurant Le Wow (Fly to the North side, head right, and make your first right down the avenue. Restaurant will be on the right side).
    Equip an Amulet Coin to your lead Pokemon, and activate a Prize Money O-Power. Then do Double Battles. Doing them perfect will net you 25 Balm Mushrooms in the end, but it’s not necessary. Repeat this 2-3 times and you’ll have a huge profit. Hope this helps! 🙂

  127. I would love to see a lot more clothes and hairstyles and more post elite four things to do. The looker missions were my favorite part of the game so I wish there was more of it. Also, I want to know whats the deal with that ghost girl in lumiose city and the note behind the time table.

    My question is, if there is a ruby/sapphire/emerald remake, will it have trainer cuatomization?

  128. The game needs to be more difficult such as creating a hard mode you can select at the beginning of the game unlike black and white where you could have that option after you beat the game

    Reply
  129. They need to add more mega evolutions, mainly for all the starter pokemon, and make the plot a little more complex and interesting. They gave too much to fire starters as far as MEs go, so I really feel when they remake the gen III games they’ll give the other 2 Hoenn starters MEs as well. That’s all I got, since everything was pretty good.

    Reply
  130. well we now have the Kanto/Johto league, the Hoenn league, the Sinnoh
    league, the Unova league, and the Kalos league. So my thoughts are for a
    major post game to increase the max level to something like 300 and to
    have us travel through everywhere and getting the badges for each area
    and beating their respective elite fours and champions. Then after all
    of this is done we go to a new island area that we have to use a new
    environment move, not an HM, to get through and we find at the end the
    league of champions. we can battle them as an elite four in any battle
    style we choose and we have the champion of champions be from our
    favorite region and we have to have 2 separate battle with separate
    styles with them before we truly win. This would be to show our mastery
    over pokemon battling. Then when we win, we can go to an all new area
    that allows us to buy master balls and we can meet the protagonists from
    the prior gens and can help them out or compare stories and battle them. This is what I want from a pokemon game

    Reply
  131. What I want is just more side missions, just like the Looker side story. I’ve beaten all the battle cafés and I regularly go to the Elite Four just to level up and evolve my pokemon since you can’t rebattle trainers. So that’s what I’m hoping for, more side stories.

    Reply
  132. How about this.. in the course of Pokemon Z you get to occasionally go through time to chase the next main villain. The main villains goal would be to make sure that Kalos did not win the war and, everybody died. Balance is unrestored and, Zygarde steps in.

    Reply
  133. It might just be me but in every game, once you beat the elite 4 and beat the champion, the same champion always comes back so you can fight them again and it is probably the easiest way to get levels when you have a team that can defeat the elite 4 and champion, but i would like to see an option maybe? where you actually ARE the champion in your game and you recieve challenges from NPCS with random pokemon with levels similar to your pokemon.

    Reply
  134. What I would really like to see is improved battling. I’m actually kind of surprised that nobody has mentioned this yet because it seems like a really good idea. I want the battles to be more like the anime, except you get to play as your pokemon during the battle. The mechanics would be something like “Super Smash Bros.” and certain keys would be bound to moves or something. For example, L would open inventory or the option to run or switch pokemon or something like that. And A would be jump, and B,Y,X, and R would be bound to moves and you can use those to attack. I don’t know, maybe its just me, but this seems like a pretty good idea if they could figure out how to make it work.

  135. I’m french, and when I learnt that the game would take place in France, I was really happy. But I was disappointed to see there was only the northern part of France in it. I hope there will be new places in Pokemon Z, including south of France.
