  2. Also,
    That feeling you get when you find out that you don’t have school on November 21st.
    Thank you teacher planning day or whatever.

  3. I wish they could have some of the dragons be in Hyrule Warriors. Even though he didn’t talk much before teaching you the song and kicking you out after, I would love to play as the Din, the Fire dragon from Skyward Sword.

  4. UGH…I hate the Super Contests in Platinum. I don’t like where you have to perform to separate judges. I like the simplicity of Hoenn’s contests. Soon though, I shall have them.

  5. AAAANNNDDD, I just lost the Ultra Rank Cute Super Contest. I hate my life. Maybe it’s karma since I shoved sweet poffins down my dry food loving Buneary’s throat?

  6. you know what i think i’m going to go buy Mario Party 4 on amazon and maybe try and find a cheap used Mario Party 9 at GameStop
    then i would have every Mario Party game to date (but Mario Party 2 is on VC) but i don’t count the GBA one

  7. Gosh, I wish I had spare shinies to just give out. 🙁
    (if you have only seen the Pokemon, does it count towards getting it completed? If that’s the case would the cafes be good?)

  8. Just letting you all know, for things like Meta Knight, it’d be great if you could go discuss that over on Retry Level 😀 They implimented Disqus there as well.

  12. “As announced several months ago, Pokémon X & Y’s Special Battle in Season 6 of the Rating Battles is to run a Double Battle where the most used Pokémon of Seasons 1 to 4 and half of Season 5 are banned. All other rules are standard Double Battle rules. Today, the ban list has been revealed. During Season 6, which runs from September 8th, you will not be able to use the following Pokémon: Charizard, Gengar, Kangaskhan, Gyarados, Tyranitar, Mawile, Salamence, Garchomp, Togekiss, Rotom, Cresselia, Amoonguss, Thundurus, Landorus, Greninja, Talonflame, Meowstic, Aegislash or Sylveon.”

  18. If Delta Emerald becomes a TCG set,
    I really hope they bring back the Delta Species cards.
    You know, the ones with the weird typing and some with the double typing?

    Imagine Kyogre Delta EX and Groudon Delta EX.
    Or Jirachi Delta EX….

    Reply
    • oh is that what that is, i have a metagross with the weird symbol and its holographic (if you call that a shiny card) how do you even play that??because the way i use to play it with my friends is by using the attacks it had until their pokemon hp dropped to zero (like in the game) and we didnt use those element cards, what are those for?

      Reply
      • It should be a weird type.
        I think Metagross Delta was a fire type?

        And pretty much the TCG is that you have to have the listed amount of energy on your Pokemon’s move in order to move.

        It’s hard to explain, but it’s explained on the TCG part of the official site!

  19. If GF’s going to destroy Unique Type Combinations, then we’d might as well have another Dragon/Ice Pokemon. It’s kinda not fair that Kyurem’s the only member of the Tao Trio that still has a Unique Typing. :

  20. I like how, in each pokemon game, they have a really long path (at least one square block that goes through like a town and part of a route) right by the Day Care 😀

  23. Upon reflecting in great thought, I realized that we DO have a new ORAS Mega that’s Pure Typed. It’s Primal Kyogre. 😛

    Reply
  24. i was thinking how can Primal be considered a mega when they said Lucario was the first mega XD if this back from ancient times that means mega lucario would be older then Primal Groudon and Primal Kyogre.

I’ll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals, and I’ve been involved in numerous secret raids on Al-Quaeda, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in gorilla warfare and I’m the top sniper in the entire US armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the * out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my *ing words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, *er. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You’re *ing dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that’s just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the United States Marine Corps and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the continent, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little “clever” comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your *ing tongue. But you couldn’t, you didn’t, and now you’re paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it. You’re *ing dead, kiddo.

  51. Hey guys 🙂
    Today will be another exciting day for my fangame, Pokemon X2 and Pokemon Y2.
    Yesterday I revealed the gym roster for the games, and today I will be revealing the new cities and towns that will be appearing in the games.
    As I said, these are JUST ideas at the moment, and have not been implemented into any type of gaming software, and may never be.
    But, it’s fun to come up with potential ideas for a game that may still be a long ways from coming. 😀

    I hope you guys enjoy what is to come today, and please feel free to make any kind of comments giving me feedback on how to improve everything. 🙂

  52. Funny how in about 4 years, all of the OMFG HOENN comments will turn into OMFG SINNOH comments. Honestly, I am not excited about Sinnoh remakes. Maybe it’s because I never finished Platinum? The story was slow-paced for me, and it seems that all games prior to Gen VI, it’s been hard to level up your Pokemon.

  54. BTW I actually do like Unova, I just don’t think it’s as good as other regions. (still better than Kalos)

    Reply
  55. Why I love Hoenn:
    – The music. It never gets old.
    – The towns and routes are very memorable and unique
    – Surfing isn’t as annoying as it normally is
    – Pokemon Contests. Done the right way. (Srry Sinnoh, Unova)
    – Gym Leaders and E4 are awesome
    – You can still have tons of fun post-E4
    – Diving
    – The legendaries are the best ever created
    – Secret Bases
    – The berry blender mini game
    – Landmarks and notable locations
    – The trick house
    – Milotic

    There’s probably more I’m forgetting but, that’s all that comes to mind.

  58. I honestly want to see more Dual Type Pokemon become Pure Typed upon Mega Evolving. Mega Aggron is so interesting for that concept, and I don’t want it to be the only one.

    I’m really hoping for a Pure Flying Primal Rayquaza. 🙂

  59. CoroCoro did officially get distributed yesterday tho… you never know.
    Anyways, HUGE red flag on that black background on the page.
    But the design is OMFG.
    It looks a bit too much like the Lati@s/Blaziken crossover from R/S Beta…?

    Reply
  60. Theory:
    It’s the same CoroCoro page as before.
    They took out the smaller pictures featured alongside Mega Lopunny and added some more fake shit, then blacked out Mega Salamance and Mega Lopunny, put in a cheap-as-fuck black background and then put in the Blazikens.

    My theory.

  67. Here is the official Town/City layout for X2/Y2. I will have to go to bed soon but feedback is still appreciated. 🙂

    Cities and Towns:
    ~ Crashnaw City in Eastern Kalos will be your hometown. It is a rocky/steep area situated on a mountain. You will also have your first Gym Battle here.
    ~ Cartoza Town comes right after, which is still situated in the rocky/steep section of Kalos.
    ~ Amilax Town is up next, which is a plains area. Your first encounter with Team Flare will be here, when a young Rich Boy
    ~ Starburn City will be the location of your second Gym Battle. You will be introduced to Starburn Studios, and the location itself is on the ruins of an exploded volcano.
    ~ Next is Lunalumi City, which is practically the smaller version of Lumiose City. The city is very futuristic-like, and will be where you befriend Colress, who will join you on your journey to take down Team Flare. You can also meet ex-Team Plasma members at the Plasma Research Corporation in Lunalumi.
    ~ You’ll then travel to Laverre City for your third Gym Battle against Valerie. She will also introduce you to Pokemon Contests and take you through the basics. She will also give you her Sylveon which will be a similar take on Cosplay Pikachu.
    ~ You will then travel to the top of the region to the newly-situated Triasta Town, which some will actually consider the “Pokemon Contest Capital” of the region. There are tons of different contest styles and a lot of beautiful aspects to this town. This is your first major encounter with Team Flare, who completely obliterates Triasta Town.
    ~ You will then make your way down to Anistar City, where you will have your first battle and encounter with Champion Korrina.
    ~ Afterwards, you head to Coumarine for your fourth Gym Battle against Mitchell, who is a Water-type Gym Leader.
    ~ Next, you’ll head to Frastajaw Town to meet one of two Legendary Pokemon that are vital to the game. Through the power of these 2 legends, you are capable of awakening Xerneas (X2) or Yveltal (Y2) and allowing them to reach their “full potential” to take down Team Flare. This will be your third encounter with Team Flare. The Legendary Pokemon is named Yufrize, is an Ice/Fairy-type Pokemon, and comes at Level 50.
    ~ You will then make your way down to Shalour City for your second encounter with Korrina, who will introduce Mega Evolution for the first time in the game. She will give you a Mega Lopunny or a Mega Lucario, it will be your choice, and you will battle her. From this point forward, all Gym Leaders will use 1 Mega Evolution on their team for added difficulty.
    ~ You will then make your way over to your 5th Gym Battle in Cyllage City with Grant.
    ~ Geosenge is blocked off by Team Flare, so you will backtrack to Coumarine City, and cut through the Power Plant to Route 5. You’ll then enter Lumiose City from there, as all other entrances are blocked at that time. You’ll be entering your 6th Gym Battle with Clemont and Bonnie.
    ~ Afterwards, you’ll make your way up Route 16 and all the way to Terminus Cave, which has now established as Terminus City, a completely underground location where citizens of Kalos have hid in order to prevent attacks from Team Flare. Your encounter with the second of two legends, a Poison/Steel-type Legendary, will be here. Afterwards, you will head to the Team Flare HQ which is in Mirdivine City, a newly established location nearby Kiloude City. A subway in Terminus City will take you there. You will then awaken your version’s legend, witness some horrid attacks on Kalos, and take down Team Flare (details not yet decided on).
    ~ Terminus City will have been destroyed, so you will take a detour route to Lumiose City, where you will face off Dark-type Vakoma in the Lumiose Sewers.
    ~ Finally, you will head to Santalune City for your final Gym Battle against Alexa, who is now a Dragon-type Gym Leader. Her sister, Viola, the original Gym Leader, is now the Battle Frontier Coordinator.

    The following locations will be INACCESSIBLE in the main story: Geosenge Town, Camphrier Town, Ambrette Town, Aquacorde Town, Snowbelle City, Couriway Town.
