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. When I have children the first thing I’ll teach them about is pokemon. The second thing is how to competitively battle and the next is not to be a dick wonder trade. Then next I’ll teach them how to go to the toilet.

    • Not gonna happen. The whole purpose of wonder trade is to not know what you’re gonna get. Unfortunately people abuse this for their own personal gain.

  4. Pokemon X/Y have not even been out for a year, yet everyone is starting to speculate now based on rumors that are probably not true? Two of the starters described sound unlikely just because Pokemon has always made Pokemon based on some kind of animal, and the one that is an animal sounds like a fire Skiddo/Gogoat. On top of that, why would the main games be for Wii U? Pokemon is by and large a franchise that is based around connecting with people and portability.

    Just enjoy X/Y while they are still new and not make wild speculations just because “wowzers there is going to be a new Pokemon game? I want this and this and this and this!”

  5. Everyone’s talking about Generation VII rumors, and I’m just sitting here wondering what Generation VI Spin Off we’ll get next (worldwide).

  6. Gen 6 will probably, always be my favorite gen because it taught me soo much about the game mechanics that i didn’t know before. despite playing all of the main games (1-6)

  7. I agree that Gen 7 isn’t the next direction for Gamefreak
    Its more understandable that the next Game we’ll get is Z or ZX/ZY and that rumored game with the Blaziken and Lucario fighting
    But Pokemon Plus and Minus sounds way too much like a fan Idea

  8. Gen 6 was just released and not even 6 months have been past… GF may have a game in dev but speaking about gen 7 this early isn’t a good ice tbh
