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!

  1. Come to think of it… When I look at this screenshot of ‘Pokken Fighters’ I can see a battle field like the ones in the main series games… It looks like Lucario and Blaziken are having a main series-esque battle…

        • “I don’t think so. I think the Pokemon core series is always
          going to be with handheld hardware, in the future as well. I consider
          handheld hardware you can carry around with you as almost being equal to
          being with Pokemon, always. I think handheld really matches the idea of Pokemon that
          we have. Also, you can communicate and transfer data all the time,
          whenever you want with a handheld. That’s also a match with the Pokemon concept.”

          Sorry, it’s a spin-off. It’s code name is Pokken Fighters

  14. PGL attraction in Japan set for the 15th. No word on European or American release. We have the games released worldwide the same day, Japan still gets spoiled with events and such. #BiasGamefreak

  16. guys I don’t think there will be a nintendo direct tomorrow or at least for a little while because i think they would’ve announced it for now. and also i think they should announce the games earlier because they dont have much of a postgame, unlike b2/w2.

  20. Alright, my brother is having a hard time finding inspiration, to breed. He thinks its not worth it. I’m gonna let him battle someone with my pokemon on my 3ds to show him how fun it is. So who’s up for it? Give him the funnest battle he’ll ever have!
