  1. “Inside the Battle Maison, there’s a person mentioning that he’s scouted the Pike Queen and questions if anyone matches Scott’s standards”

    This is from Serebii….. there is far too much Frontier talk for there not to be something going on.

      • Yeah…. it really does seem like they are planning some sort of DLC patch that adds more stuff to the game or there is another game coming. There is also an awful lot hinting at the closeness of Hoenn and Kalos which makes me wonder if the reason for this is that a 3rd game will be released which does a HGSS and includes 2 regions. Would be a new twist on the sequel formula introduced with BW2.

        • The sequel of XY has us go back to Hoenn to witness Kyogre vs Groudon. We have to go find Rayquaza who mega evolves and stops them. Scott witnesses this and invites us to the Battle Frontier

    • No more Megas.
      Serebii and Project Pokemon confirmed.
      The Mega Flygon and Mega Milotic fanboys are crying all over the place.
      But there is hope! NPC’s say new Pokemon (as in Pokemon that have not gotten Megas) are reacting to Mega Stones or something along the lines of that. Can’t officially confirm that.

    • Not yet… i say yet because like with the Battle Frontier many NPC’s are suggesting there is more to come. It really does seem like this is not the full game (either DLC or time based events activating) or that a sequel is coming?

  2. Idk what to think about all these Battle Frontier hints anymore.. The hints are so vague, you can’t tell whether there’s more to it than just random NPC text .-.

  3. New things seem to happen everytime you beat the league such as new starters becoming available so it is possibly that new megas and BF could open up after you beat the league a certain amount of times…. ironic seeing as you had to beat the frontier facilities a certain amount of times to challenge the frontier brain’s…

      • Exactly! Hahaha but in all seriousness they did this sort of thing in the demo where the more times you played something the more you unlock so it is possible and early unlockables suggest it is the E4 that is the trigger- certainly for getting each set of starters anyway.

  4. Sinnoh Starters confirmed. “After another bout with the Elite Four, when you exit your house, Birch calls you again and this time, he has mistaken his wife for a wild
    Pokémon. Classic. This time, Sinnoh starters. Once again, no Hidden Ability so either they definitely don’t have any, or I have the worst luck, most likely the former.” Serebii Discovery Thread. Post 18.

  5. There’s a person in the Battle Maison with the text:

    “Wh-who are you? The sight of you set my Seviper shivering!
    I’ve been watching the matches from up here, but the Trainers here are rank amateurs to the last. The only ones here who even begin to compare to me in terms of skill and beauty might be those gaudy little girls calling themselves Battle Chatelaines.”
    … Sounds like Lucy to me lel

  6. Everyone losing their shit over Battle Frontier.
    Including me.
    Game Freak better have something planned!

    Fandom: “THIS IS TORTURE!”
    Game Freak: “It’s just a reference. Nothing more.”
    Fandom: “A HELPLESS REFERENCE!”
    Game Freak: “Sit down at once and we will consider adding the Battle Frontier and overlooking this savage behavior!”
    Fandom: “YOUR BEHAVIOR IS SAVAGE! YOU AND YOUR PEOPLE ARE THE BARBIANS!”
    Game Freak: “WHAT?”
    Troll: “Game Freak, don’t let the savages get away with this!”
    Game Freak: “SEIZE THEM! AND NEVER LET THEM SEE THE BATTLE FRONTIER EVER AGAIN!”

    Pocahontas II reference fits nicely.

    • Fuck off, your shitty attitude and repetitive comments are annoying as hell. There’s nothing you can do about it, get the FUCK over it.

      • So you’re not mad that these games have numerous references to the BF, But the BF isn’t actually in the game?

        You’re not mad that these games have no secret Megas?

        You’re not Mad that these games have no secrets to be found?

        Reply
          • The only reason you’re not mad is because you’re blinded by your love for hoenn.

            I will buy these games but no Megas and BF is extremely dissapointing

          • Sucks for you bro. But BF is literally the most oversaturated and unneeded additions to the game. It’s a waste of data, most people battle online anyways. No new megas? Ok. Just wait ’til the next game, it’s only a little over a year away.

          • I Wouldn’t say BF is unneeded and oversaturated, but i understand what you mean.
            The thing is, i wouldn’t be nearly as mad about BF,i GF hadn’t filled those references.

            As for new megas,i really wanted megas to be hidden like XY.
            And i really wanted Mega Milotic

          • I wanted mega Milotic more than anyone on this site. Have you ONCE seen me flip shit about it not being a thing? No. Get over it.

          • Pretty sure you can’t base an argument on “I wanted it more so I’m right!”

            People have the right to be unhappy about something in a game that they looked forward to so much. Stop being such an elitist.

          • FINNALY!!!!! Someone else that see’s that crap for what it is. A total waist of time, and effort. And a waist of game space. Thank you.

  7. Everyone keeps saying megas will be dlc. But why can’t they be event items? I mean no one has dumped the games right? Only demo and pokebank! For all you know pokebank will get another update when the event megastones are revealed! With battle frontier of course Its a different matter…

  8. Right now, most of us don’t even have the games yet,but we’re still complaining, the games aren’t out in Europe till The 28th.

    All of us should be glad that Hoenn is here and it’s better than ever.

    Besides GF obviously has a few surprises up their sleeve.

  9. Still no confirmation of Gym Leader Rematches via PokeNav Plus by Serebii.
    Welp, losing almost all hope about that.
    There was so many rumors about that.
    No official confirmation though.
    I smell a douchebag troll.
    Trolls like to add to this confusion and shithole of a mess that is leaks.

    Not sure if this is plausible, but it’s very good, not to mention the ‘hair’ fins look similar to my Mega Milotic 2.0 design. 🙂
