  1. Why does everyone measure Champ time by the time in game? They have been champs for longer than that, you know.

    • We know but it still gives us a stable answer since most of the newer champions got their titles during the game period. But you do have a point, the question is literally impossible to answer unless you have a time line of everything that occurs.

  2. Cynthia is works for the Iluminati! lol, jk!
    In Platinum, when Cynthia visits the player at their Villa, she notes how relaxing it is there and that she doesn’t want to go home because her house is a complete mess. She goes on to say, “My house? Even the region is a secret!” hinting that she may live in a region other than Sinnoh.

  3. On a slightly different note, which gym leaders do you think will be replaced in the XY sequels?

    I hope Clemont will be replaced because I’m tired of Electric Gym leaders. Especially when they use Emolga. Imagine having him be replaced by his robot because he’s travelling.

  6. You know, we’re really lucky here in the pokemon franchise. We get a mainstream game practically every year, not to mention all of the spinoffs. Most franchises have to wait anywhere from 3-4 years for another game to come along. Mario is the only other franchise I can think of that pops them out so quickly. Other than maybe COD (barf)

  9. You know one thing I really do wonder. Why Pokemon Snap isn’t on the Wii U. The game could easily take advantage of the GamePad. It would be a steal for Nintendo to create! 😀

  11. Pokemon Z Story Part One:
    The ecosystem is in turmoil. However, Neo Team Flare has corrupted the Holo-Caster and seeks domination over the E4 and their leader, Lysandre seeks to become Champion. The Gym Leaders have started an organization to end this tyranny but they fail. Drasna of the E4 mentions that a powerful trainer with mastery over the art of Pokemon battles who has beaten all 8 gym leaders, E4, and the champion will be the one to take down Neo Team Flare.
    On your tenth birthday, you are chosen to leave home and start your Pokemon adventure. Your mother first wants to test you out and you battle but you lose to her. You now have a goal to defeat your mother but at the same time become Champion. Diantha visits you and tells you she sees a great power in you but you must learn to control it. As you fight the gym leaders and become more powerful, Neo Team Flare sees you as a threat and Lysandre has ordered for your capture. Little do you know, Xerneas and Yveltal are looking out for you, waiting for the right time to show themselves. You defeat Neo Team Flare grunts and save a dying Pokemon: Spoink or some other Pokemon. Seeing you worthy, Xerneas or Yveltal show themselves to you and telepathically tell you the ecosystem’s current state. They tell you that a powerful legendary Pokemon can save Kalos but you must first become Champion.

  15. I don’t think Team Flare will be in the Zygarde game. I think it’s going to be a whole new team. Hoopa’s backstory pretty much talks about a new team existing (possibly prequel?)

    “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.”

  16. Pokemon Z Part Two:
    Your goal has now become to be the Champion, defeat Neo Team Flare, awaken Zygarde, and beat your Mother. The gym leaders have all decided you are the one and as you defeat one gym, the next becomes more powerful than ever, even Mega-evolving their Pokemon to test and hone you. Neo Team Flare has made their first big move by trying to corrupt Lumiose City. If they succeed, they can control all of Kalos in a matter of days. Bonnie is powerless and cries, grief stricken that she could not, as a gym leader save her city. You challenge Lysandre and you beat him, ending his reign in Lumiose City but he says this is just the beginning and won’t make the same mistake twice. The screen goes black and you wake up in Bonnie’s room with all the gym leaders you have beaten around you. They tell you to conquer the rest of the gyms but be aware of Neo Team Flare and they will do everything they can to protect you. One by one, the gym leaders go missing every time you beat a new one. Your dilemma comes: either stop defeating the gym leaders, surrender or beat the remaining two and take out Team Flare. Bonnie comes to you on a helicopter with Clemont and gives yous some strength and hope and then, you go and defeat the remaining leaders and you are ready to face Team Neo Flare!

  17. I would be happy if TrollFreak recycled the same BW plot… it was the only one where the antagonists actually succeeded and they looked down upon the other evil teams as scum. “One sees himself/herself best when looking at others actions.”

    • well aqua/magma sorta secceded in emerald. But as much as i loved the BW plot. i dont want it recycled. i feelt it was something so good that only unova could pull off.

  18. @Afarr:disqus he said it isn’t Hoenn.

    I don’t have the other pics to go with it but he also talks about:
    -my region has a Facility like you wouldn’t believe!
    -my region has this Champion like you wouldn’t believe!

    I feel like we can 100% say that the Zygarde game will have 16 badges (kalos & new region), and 2 different elite 4’s (two different champions).
