The Pokémon Plus & Pokémon Minus Rumors

by

Although I’m covering this news story, it’s by popular demand. I don’t believe any of this and I highly recommend that you do not either.

The site DualPixels (which has since crashed) claimed to have gotten “information” from a leaker about Generation VII. They claim:

  • Two new games are codenamed Pokémon Plus & Pokémon Minus, could be final
  • The battle system is going to be re-worked completely and simplified
  • New region is based on Southeast Asia, may have islands
  • GameFreak is trying many new ideas out that they’ve been holding onto
  • “Three new starters with no names: Water evolves into Water/Steel and is a squat, teardrop shaped humanoid that has a jar filled with on its head as it evolves it grows taller and the jar bigger until it needs another set of arms to hold it on it’s head. Fire evolves into Fire/Fairy and is a tiny cute goat with fire blowing out of its horns, it’s horns and look evolves more menacing until it has curly ram like horns and a motorcycle hot-rod-like look. Grass evolves into a Grass/Electric and starts with a leap for a face with a nubby root as a body and evolves until it grows into an electric producing palm tree with each flower petal having a different face.”
  • “The main legendary for Pokemon Plus is a Shi Foo Lion-looking Psychic/Ground-type that has multiple faces, the Pokemon Minus legendary is a Ghost/Fairy type that has two dashes for eyes and is a hurricane-like appendages with many arms and hands.”
  • “The new “Team” villains are described as a bunch of “Sohei Zelots”-types who have discovered the player’s best friend as a reincarnation of a special type of person who only is alive every 100 years. They believe the old system where people were given a Pokemon egg and they stick to that Pokemon until they die and who’s function in society dictate what role that person is. They are against the “modern” trend of Pokemon Trainers and capturing multiple Pokemon and are making a holy pilgrimage to evoke the old Legendaries to turn everything back to normal. They keep the player away from their friend, saying the special one (who can do amazing things like mega evolve Pokemon without the use of a mega ring) only love is that of Pokemon and not people. It is planned to be reveal later that for the special one to fulfill their role in society they must be mortally sacrificed to awaken the legendaries.”
  • Could be for Wii U

That’s it 🙂 Discuss them as you’d like! Thanks to everyone who emailed/tweeted me about them!

  2. Fake….
    To early for releasing 7gen or even give any info… This is year maybe Z or Red Ruby or Blue Sapphire the Hoenn remakes. I see an egglocke thing with the evil team and GF already said the main game would be focus in portables consoles, like DS and 3DS.

  3. i noticed something. recently there was rumors of nintendo new consoles being called project fusion or nintendo fusion. its two hardware being the fusion ds and fusion terminal (console). the whole point is that they could be cross played. so while looking at the full list of rumors for plus and minus, something said a mmo mainland only playable in terminal. this was weeks before fusion rumors surfaced. what do you guys think.

  7. I’ll take whatever the new games and new regions throw at me. No complaints, honest. If they’re Plus and Minus, you’ll here no whining from me. On one condition: Please, Gamefreak, do some prevos and evos for already existing pokemon. PLEASE.

    I know it’s likely not going to happen. I know mega evolution is the ‘new thing’ – but that doesn’t mean I have to give a rat’s behind about it. I just can’t bond with something so *temporary* when the whole beauty of Pokemon evolution, right from the beginning, was the permanence of it, and as a result the careful choice you had to make as to whether you left your Pokemon as-is and it learned more moves, or whether you powered it up for good and had to teach it a bunch of TMs.

    If I wanted something to evolve in battle for a massive powerboost and then power down again afterwards, I’d be playing Digimon.

    What annoys me is that the defenders of mega evolution are all ‘well, you don’t have to use it’. No, I don’t. And if it was a simple as choosing not to use it I wouldn’t care. But what scares me is that GF are going to be so busy doing Mega Evos in future that they aren’t going to bother with prevos and evos anymore. Dunsparce will never become great. All the design creativity will be going into the temporary creatures I’ll never even touch. And since evos and prevos for preexisting pokemon was always my favourite part of a new game…well, this is a sad time for me.

    I still love Pokemon; I probably always will. But with mega evos I feel for the first time that it’s gone in a direction I don’t like, and never will. /fangirlrant

  8. is this fake

    I thought of an idea for Pokemon

    first game will have a legendary of positive energy which the main element is Fire

    second game will have a legendary of negative energy which the main element is Ice

    Fire legendary will have an ability probably called “Solar Blaze” which doubles fire damage against Ice.

    Ice legendary will have an ability probably called “Negate” which allows the user of the ability (only this ice legendary has it) to be super effective against fire

    (super effective but fire is still super effective against Ice) as much as fire is super effective against Ice (so if Solar blaze was activated and Negate was as well then Ice would have double damage just like fire but if no Solar Blaze then Negate will only be regularly super effective against Fire).

    Fire legendary will have special move called “World On Fire” which makes the area filled with heat then absorbing and channeling into a blazing beam to shoot the enemy, causes instant burn.

    Ice legendary will have special move called “Ice of Judgement” which makes the area filled with coldness then absorbing and channeling into a bomb made of ice, then going to the target and exploding, causes instant freeze to the target (even Fire will struggle to get out, this ice is special which makes fire get out of the frozen status like other non-fire pokemon)

    what do you think of this idea
