The Pokémon Plus & Pokémon Minus Rumors

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!

  1. We, the shiny clique (without Noivern) hear by declare that Voltsonic should experiencing painful banning and shunning.

  2. Volt is just like sonic the hedgehog; even though he knows he lost the battle and is only an annoyance somehow he never goes away…

  3. >Plus and Minus rumour spreading
    >Plusle and Minun
    >both introduced in Gen 3
    >Gen 3 legend colors: Red (Groudon) Blue (Kyogre) Green (Rayquaza)
    >Gen 5 legend colors Red (Yveltal) Blue (Xerneas) Green (Rayquaza)
    *note* Blue legend has clear type advantage over Red legend

    Fire Type: Fairy rabbit(this is for you @attackonpoke:disqus) Fire/Fairy

  6. What happened while I was away?

    Anyway, I’m breeding Pokemon. If you have a spare 5 IVs Ditto, I would appreciate one. I can give you 5 IV pokemon in exchange. Thanks.

  7. Ok guys,
    This volt drama has been going on for too long.
    Like Chico said, we’re better than this.
    We are all above him.
    We are like giants.
    SQUASH THAT BUG.
    We smushed him.
    That’s why he’s not back.
    But seriously the only thing I like about this is that it is bringing us closer together.

    (Except Noivern)
    He's scared.
    It's over with now.
    K.
    And Miley Cyrus doesn't have to worry about inconsiderate people.

      • The O-Power charge up speed. The number next to the 10 yellow orbs that you need to activate a power. Its speed depends on the number of steps you clocked that day. 0-1999 1x speed, 2000-2999 2x speed and so on.

          • That was the purpose of the pedometer. It awards you play coin so you can exchange it for stuff like puzzle pieces in Mii Plaza. But there’s always a way to cheat that.

          • It’s like the Pokéwalker; put it on the washing machine or dryer and get steps. XD I liked the Pokéwalker actually.

          • It’s actually not very accurate and tends to register tons of steps. In my experience, I can get about 600 steps for walking one block from the parking lot to my job if my bag is wobbly enough. Also driving on an old car with the 3DS on the dashboard racks up tons of steps.

  8. I really appreciate this Chico for mod campaign you guys. Just, don’t go crazy with it, I’m not really expecting to become one because they have a good staff already. Plus, I think some other people would be good fits as well. xD <3
