  1. So, Spingebill contacted me on Mt. Moon about a Dicie anime… (shudders).
    May his demented soul rot in hell.

  2. My opinion about the ‘trailer’ is still the same. I am disappointed, but it showed us what it might look like and definitely raised my hype about the game.
    I try to see silver linings in everything :3

  4. I just realized that because ORAS are Gen VI games, that means that we can use Sinnoh Pokéballs (Dusk Balls and Quick Balls for example)!!! Do you think we’ll get them pre or post game?

  5. Onbe of my favorite pokemon tumblrs revealed that on poke beach they have storys of the three event legends aka their events

    so check poke beach!

  6. Was thinking about Pokemon & stuff and realised that every type (except Dragon & Normal) are 4x effective against at least 1 pokemon

    Reply
    • Maybe Gen VII will give us new moves that allow Dragon and Normal to be supereffective against other types, like how Freeze Dry is supereffective against water types, thus causing x4 damage to Swampert, Kingdra, and Swanna.

  9. The footage was fine. Didn’t expect much considering the last remakes (AKA HGSS) only showed the protagonist trolling around New Bark Town. On a more positive note, the graphics look much better and I do hope ever so sincerely that Game Freak does some amazing things with the music.

  10. I was doing some battling and came up with a question for you guys.

    • Meganium is great how it is, it got a buff this gen which I’m so happy about, I can’t wait to use mine :3

      Reply
    • Use it with a team that focuses on type changing and it’ll be amazing. However, it’ll be restricted to double battles.

      Reply
      • Not really, it works REALLY well in singles with aromatherapy and safeguard(if you time it right) and it has decent attacking stats for a mixed wall, it resists ground and electric which are very common types.
        It’s a great pokemon that just requires some messing around with to perfect :3

        Reply
  13. You know how Bulletproof makes the user immune to Ball and Bullet type moves? Well, there should be an ability that makes the user immune to Punch type attacks.

    *stares at Scizor and it’s OP Bullet Punch*

    • Why not make it grass ground, it’s an amazing type combo and grass fairy wouldn’t fit meganium because it isn’t a fairy or related to fairies and it’s a freaking dinosaur lawl

      Reply
          • Like what kind of origins? Besides being in the Fairy Egg, being small, or full of life (Xerneas)?

            To be honest, albeit I’m so happy it happenend, I feel like most of the Fairies, were reclassified so they could be used more competitively.

          • Find a fairy type and you’ll find it ties back to fairy like creatures, mawile is a little more shocking but yeah lawl, I research a lot of pokemon origins

          • I was thinking of Mawile as an example of Fairies that don’t seem Fairy-like. To this day, I still think he/she looks like a Pure Normal Type. However, Mawile is the Deceiver Pokémon, so it sorta makes sense.

            I’ll think about the origins more for the others.

          • Mawile is based on a Japanese myth of a stepmother who starved her stepsons and fed her own, their angry souls merged to the back of her head creating two mouths, they constantly want food and when they wasn’t fed they caused the woman intense pain and suffering

          • I knew this, but doesn’t seem very Fairylike, unless Japanese Myths are supposed to count as Fairy Tales.

      • It’s behavior is seen more as a gentle giant much like the Maiasaurar which is known as the Mother-Dino so it’s befitting for M-Meganium to gain the Fairy type.

        • Yes, because people think they can revenge kill it will a special attack, then I live it and Drain Punch a decent amount of health back (occasionally KOing them unexpectedly)

          Its not the best Pokemon by any means, which is why it isn’t used much…but it works wonders in the lower tiers.

  17. I find it unfair how Kyurem is the only member of the Tao Trio that hasn’t had its unique type combination destroyed. It should. Any ideas on what Ice Type Pokémon should gain the Dragon Type upon evolving? Even if it doesn’t make sense.

  18. I want a Dark/Fairy so badly. Even better. A pure Dark type Pokémon that Mega Evolves and gains the Fairy Type.

    Reply
  23. My thoery for ORAS is that we will not see the groundon/Kyogre mega’s until AFTER we beat the leuge. I think we will go to the next region(the region to the right of kalos) where it will NOT indroduce new pokemon but new mega’s. Because not EVERY region has to have new pokemon.

    Reply
  24. If Game Freak was an American Company, I have a feeling that we’d have a few Dark Type Gyms because America’s not a pansy about the “Evil” Type.

    Reply
    • That’s ironic, considering how America basically censored tiny bits of thing they found “offensive” because they’re too sensitive.

      Reply
        • No, America is too sensitive to call Dark type Evil type. The Japanese branch must consider how sensitive Americans are, that’s why no dark type gyms had been added. You got it backward.

          Reply
          • The age of maturity in Japan is much lower than that of the U.S. So their young audience is more matured. Japan did acknowledge older players considering how the main protagonists in X/Y appear to be older and taller, but still remain 10.

          • But why have we have had Dark type E4 members? Should be considered the same thing…

          • We have had one, and that was in Gen 2? before Japan knew it would be big in Merikuh, and she only had like 1 Dark type.

          • It’s fine xD Plus Dark type in Japan is more associated with the evil of cheating/unfairness. It wouldn’t be that bad to have dark-type gyms. Plus America is sensitive, but I don’t think they would mind a dark-type gym if we have had dark-type E4 members without a problem.

    • The Dark-Type is not a reference to being heinous or direct quote to being evil, it’s more like being unfair.

    The secret of its lair: “It’s said that Hoopa’s lair is overflowing with the objects and treasures it nabbed over the years, claiming them for its own.

I hear that Hoopa’s lair is in an oasis in the desert, but no one’s been able to find the place!”

  35. So I just went to serebii and say the 3 legends move pool. I think volcanion will be the best out of three. Diancie is a carbon copy ( pun intended) of Cabrink does the exact same thing. Hoopa only has ghost and psychic moves and it’s suppose to be a glass cannon BUT 70 speed is low.

  45. “The Pokémon called Hoopa is linked to many of the unexplained supernatural events that have occurred in this world. My search for Hoopa has led me to this library.”

    “No way! Could that be the Mythical Pokémon Hoopa that you have there with you?” Options: Yes | No

    No: “Oh, I was mistaken? Sorry about that…”

    Yes: “Whoaaa! I can’t believe it’s true! See, I travel around the world, trying to solve its many mysteries. I’ve been researching supernatural events that have occurred over the last 100 years. One thing I’ve found is that the Mythical Pokémon Hoopa is connected to many of these strange events! I’ve also managed to come across some information about the mysterious power that Hoopa appears to wield. So, without further ado, I’d like to share my findings with you! After all, you’re actually traveling with Hoopa–the very subject of my research!” Options: Its mysterious rings | The secret of its lair | Its deeds and exploits | Nothing

    Its mysterious rings: “It’s said that Hoopa can use the power of the three rings it adorns itself with to move objects about as it pleases… That’s not all! I’ve also heard that when Hoopa unleashes its full power, the size of the rings can grow up to multiple miles in length! With such massive rings, apparently it can transport even entire islands!”

    The secret of its lair: “It’s said that Hoopa’s lair is overflowing with the objects and treasures it nabbed over the years, claiming them for its own. Rumor has it that there are mountains of gold and silver treasures that it took from ancient kings and wealthy land barons. I hear that Hoopa’s lair is in an oasis in the desert, but no one’s been able to find the place!”

    Its deeds and exploits: “There’s a tale about an organization that tried to manipulate Hoopa’s power for their own benefit. After a while, certain objects that belonged to the organization mysteriously began to disappear. Everything from weapons and vehicles to money… It all began to vanish one by one. The organization got scared and decided to hole up inside of their headquarters. Once they did, things stopped disappearing! Just like that! Relieved that it was finally over, the organization finally decided to step outside. It was then that they discovered their headquarters had been transported wholesale to somewhere in the middle of a desert! Terrified of what they had unleashed, the organization promptly disbanded.”

    “Whether Hoopa becomes a trustworthy partner or ends up bringing about great misfortune depends entirely on the Trainer. I hope you don’t forget that. I think Hoopa’ll turn out right as rain with you at its side, though! You look like a Trainer who knows how to take care of his Pokémon and treat ’em right. Well, I hope you end up having lots of fine adventures with Hoopa! Have fun!”

    Finally, I got to know our editor in chief. She finished her research about the Mythical Pokémon Volcanion and came back to the office.

    Whoa! S-sorry! I was so surprised! I’ve been looking for Volcanion for 15 years. And finally, finally, I met a Trainer who’s traveling with it! I traveled everywhere to gather the information about Volcanion and put together a memo. I’ll let you read the memo. But just for you, because it’s top secret. Do you want to read the top-secret memo about Volcanion? Which part of the memo do you want to read?

    My top-secret memo about Volcanion… If you’re Volcanion’s Trainer, I wouldn’t mind you reading it.

    A memo marked as “Top Secret” is on the desk.

    On the XXth day of the XXth month at the Pokémon Day Care on Route 7: About the extraordinary power that Volcanion is said to possess. Discussed it with a top Breeder who’s very familiar with the ecology of Pokémon and drew the following deduction. In order to cause a steam explosion powerful enough to blow up mountains, the Pokémon must have an organ with extremely high temperature that can instantly vaporize water to steam. That kind of organ is unheard of in the ecology of Pokémon, but Volcanion may have it…

    On the XXth day of the XXth month at the Pokémon Center in Camphrier Town: Interviewed a Trainer who says he witnessed a Pokémon that could be Volcanion when he was stranded in a mountain. According to the Trainer, a huge Pokémon’s shadow appeared suddenly. Two huge armlike limbs that could crush even the land extended from its back, and from their tips, something that looked like smoke belched out and made the fog around the Pokémon even thicker. The Trainer said the Pokémon’s shadow slowly disappeared into the fog.

    On the XXth day of the XXth month at Café Kizuna in Lumiose City: In the southern part of the Kalos region, there seems to be a custom to revere Volcanion as a nation-building Pokémon. People seem to believe that a steam explosion caused by Volcanion created the plain where they live. As a matter of fact, a huge mountain range suddenly disappeared due to an unexplained explosion in that part of the region in the past…

    If you feel like reading my memo, come visit me anytime. Volcanion seems to trust you. I want you and Volcanion to travel together as good partners to each other!

      • It’s a prequel with different characters taking the prerequisite classes in order for weapons to control their powers and meisters to choose their partners.

        Reply
          • Still wrong. choose* Chose is past tense.
            I don’t tend to correct people on the Internet, but lol.

          • No, it’s correct. Example: In order for them to choose…

            You use “chose” in sentences like “I chose to eat a sandwich because I was hungry”.

          • No, you used “To chose their partners.”
            Which is wrong. Chose should only be used in past tense.
            ex: I chose to follow my dreams the day I turned 10.
            ex: I can’t choose between banana and strawberry.

          • Look at the time of my “still wrong…” comment (made right before Luigi corrected you the same mistake). 10 minutes ago, and look at your “F*** I meant chose” comment. 11 minutes ago.
            That was made right after you fixed your initial mistake, but it was still wrong.
            I wasn’t talking about the current one.

    • If they were referring to move combo’s or tutors, I think they would’ve said they expect the battle scene to change, but he said environment. If he’s not referring to battling underwater (cause of the Dive HM), then maybe it’s something new like interact-able objects.

      Not sure if you noticed, but in XY, if you stick around in a cave long enough, sometimes in the background of a horde you’ll notice a huge rock that stands out. If you use a wide attacking move like Surf/Earthquake to kill all 5 poke’s, it breaks the rock in the background finding a rare item. I found Luminous Moss this way.

      Another thing he might have meant is the crappy online environment (the green digital stadium with the fake audience lol). Maybe they plan to change that to something cool looking.

      Reply
      • When you say environment it could mean different things. But although I’m sure it will be the backgrounds of the battles, environment: 1 : the circumstances, objects, or conditions by which one is surrounded. Circumstances: a fact or condition connected with or relevant to an event or actions. Environment could mean different things.

        I did notice those things. I found like four thunderstones while EV training off of Wingull and then a damp rock in a cave.

        Reply
      • Yes! The battle environment change can refer to interactable object in the battle scene that are triggered by certain moves or combos. Rocks could fall in a cave, damaging both players, trees might drop fruit with recovery effects, etc… That would be Awesome

  59. Does our theoretical Generation 6.5 count for ORAS? There will be move tutors and new megas, but no new pokémon.

    Reply
    • Yup, especially if ORAS gives new megas. Z would include the new mega stones found in ORAS in addition to whatever new battle mechanics they add. The new region may not necessarily have new pokes (Orre for example), but the storyline should cover the missing plot from X/Y. A different variety of pokes would be available in the game allowing gen 6 an even wider variety of available pokes without the need to use poke’transporter

            It’s because I know what it will mostly be like, since it is a remake.
            XY I had no idea what to expect.

          • ;~; But the Hoenn! It’s amazing no matter what! And that’s why they need a Hoenn Sequel. Team Aero ftw!

          • Hoenn has a part of my heart, but so do the other regions.
            It has a bigger part than others, but others like Sinnoh and Kalos, have a slighly bigger part.
            Sorry not sorry.

          • Well, if you turn off the EXP share, it would be slighly less easy.
            Plus, the games have always had their easiness. They are children’s games, after all.
            Just like Yu-Gi-Oh is a children’s card game. (Sorry not sorry the abridged series totally made me say that)

          • ;~; It was soooo hard up to Gen 4. Gen 5 it was easy. I went back and played Diamond, and it was exhilarating having Dialga vs. Milotic in champ battle. It was difficult.

          • I will admit Gen 3 was hard…..when I was younger. Now, I’m blowing through my Emerald. Of course, they really hard part was the E4, and I haven’t gotten there yet.
            All gens had their hard and easy parts. Whitney and Lenora remind me of that.
            I just don’t think that its difficulty should be a valid reason for not liking a region.
            But that’s my opinion, you could think what you please.

          • Plus E4 in Sinnoh was always easy to me. Cynthia was a bit hard, but nothing that a good team couldn’t handle.

          • That’s true, I just want to get that feeling of: “I’m trapped here… But if I waste my Luxray to revive my Staraptor, then I may be able to Brave Bird and not faint from recoil… Blah Blah Blah.”

          • Lenora wasn’t hard. Well, I guess she was. Ohhhhh it started easier in BW2, or near the end of BW.

      Gen 1 hinted at Politoed & Munna.

    • I’m not super worried about those but I reallllllllllly really want them to add the Battle Frontier. It was my favorite part of the 3rd Generation and if they don’t then I’ll be pretty sad. All the games had contests and secret bases so they’ll have to add those or else it wouldn’t be a complete game but the battle frontier was only added in Emerald which means that they don’t necessarily need to include it in the remakes.
      I have never seen a battle frontier as good as the one in Gen 3. I’m probably rambling right now but the battle frontier really meant a lot to me when I was a kid and still means a lot even now.

    ATV (my favorite, good for curves and drifts)
    And yes all triple items rotate around you (Bananas, Mushrooms and shells)
    U can still hold items in the back to block items
    The Wii U Pad can be used as a solid controller and or gyro steering wheel

    At first i didn’t smash into people on zero-g but I quickly got the hand of it
    and u shake the Wii U pad to perform tricks on ramps
    and they’re blue nubs things on Zero-G areas that give speed boosts when rammed into

          • 1. Not everyone is a trainer.
            2. Brock and Cilan weren’t acknowleged as gym leaders, why should Clemont?
            3. Gym Leaders are Gym Leaders. Not stars. Unless they were Contest Champions.

          • You’d think by now his default question in traveling with people would be “Are you secretly a gym leader in disguise..?”

          • Well, they don’t want to show off and brag about it. Why do you think that whenever Ash and his friends meet a gym leader for the first time outside of the gym, he/she doesn’t state that he/she is one right away?

          • And wasn’t Cilan constantly acknowledged as a gym leader by that one purple haired girl…?

          • Yes. Although because she wanted revenge for his beating her in a gym battle.

            That’s it.

  117. Not sure if this was discussed but they revealed the next Vivillon form (The “Fancy” pattern). It will be an international release once the GTS reaches a total of 100 million pokemon traded. Right now it’s at 85 million.
