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!

  19. A gluttonous ‘Spiny Nut Pokemon’ Chespin eats too much and ends up with a fat belly. As such, it ends up battling Ash’s Pokémon to get some exercise after eating. But its belly is heavy, and its movements slow, so it ends up losing to Froakie and others. Worried that its health might be in danger, Clemont, a Trainer, invents an exercise gear for Chespin.

    This episode also features Chespin battling a Delphox… Hmmm, I wonder if it belongs to Serena.

      • Serena’s party right now is just Fennekin. You never know… heck I remember seeing a Pokemon species go through it’s whole evolution. Anyways, it doesn’t say Delphox is owned by an unknown trainer. It just says that since Chespin ate too much Delphox was going to battle him to HELP him. Now I would like to see a wild Delphox help a poor Chespin.

  21. Also, there is some fake info going around in spanish about bank.
    The info states that:

    The Pokemon Bank will be released on January 28th.
    The free trial will be 60 days instead of 30 days.
    The annual fee will be $2.99 instead of $4.99
    New Pokemon Bank event is Jirachi

    There’s no definitive proof that this is true.
    Also phantom downvoter, Piss off.
