UK retailer TESCO has added the Nintendo NX to their website in anticipation of its upcoming launch and also added a price: £349.99 to be exact (~$450 USD). It has since been removed, but could be an indication of what the system will retail for at launch or it could just be a placeholder.
For comparison, the Wii U’s premium set launched for $100 less, at $350. Fans may want to start saving now if TESCO’s page was accurate or at least in the ballpark. We also know that Foxconn, a giant Chinese electronics manufacturer, is testing NX production already.
What do you think? Too pricey?

FEATURED DISCUSSION: PokéJokes
one of the wii u’s largest problems was how horribly it was advertised. I really feel that not showing us what the system is and is capable of when we are only a few months from launch is honestly not helping their case. I’m getting it regardless but still…
Has anyone ever heard that theory that Entei, Suicune and Raikou are reincarnations of Flareon, Vaporeon and Jolteon lol?
You are an expert regarding leaks, what do you think about this? Scroll to the bottom

Fully convinced. This looks very, very detailed. It might be that some stuff is off but I reckon at least 80% of this is real.
Interesting…I like most of what was said but idk if that should be a red flag or not. I’m not sure I believe that they have details from gen 8..
I like to think that they’ve already started early development on Pokemon games for the NX. Big companies like GF probably think ahead for at least 5 years, and the world is such a big place, there’s plenty of material left for fresh new Pokemon games.
That’s true. But this guy mentions 4 fossil pokemon, which seems like a bit much. I really want a toy robot pokemon though! -Crosses fingers for dark/steel or electric/dark if true-
I think the Toy Robot Pokemon is for gen 8 in these leaks
Kinda hard to tell. It jumps around
NX https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/c26b74220fe165bf17be4e30cdc5794044c08b592db413ad4ebb68b32450d201.jpg
What, are we driving a car or playing video games?
Do we know it’s real?
Interesting retro look for the possible prototype.
I’ve always liked the concept.. but I wonder, would they make the handheld part without buttons??
so wait.. That tablet is the new handheld? As in.. the new Pokemon games wont have physical controls? I don’t see what’s so special about it if you have to use the attachment to get any real gaming done.. clunky
This is a fake image, in case anybody is wondering.
If Marshadow is Electric/Dark I wonder what kind of animal it would be based on?
Speculation would lead us to believe it’ll be a scorpion. But I don’t want the first dark/electric type to be a legendary :I
I don’t see how an Electric type scorpion would work but I like to be surprised. And I agree with your reply. Dark and Electric happen to be in my top 3 favourites and I hate it if the first one is a legendary because I don’t use those
Same. I want it to be something that I can have on my team. I’m sure they could make an electric scorpion work, just look at solgaleo. Steel/psychic don’t seem to fit with a lion
But Solgaleo is based on the green lion in alchemy
I know, but I thought we were talking about species. Like you wouldn’t expect a scorpion to be an electric, just like you wouldn’t expect a lion to be steel.
Quick summary about the leaks TigerMasku gave me:
Marshadow is Electric/Dark
UBs not catchable and function as high difficulty bosses
Starters do have split evolutions, but they’re version exclusive
Rowlet
Sun-Grass/Flying
Moon-Grass/Psychic
Popplio
Sun-Water/Fairy
Moon-Water/Fighting
Litten
Sun-Fire/Dark
Moon-Fire/Poison
18 Trial Captains, one for each typing
Drampa has 2 pre-evolutions
Charizard, Blastoise and gen 4 starters get Z-moves
50 Alola formes, includes Doduo line, Nidoran line, Cloyster and Jynx
Delphox and Chesnaught get a Mega
Jangmo-o final evolution is Dragon/Steel and is based on a Japanese knight
Gen 8 region is based on a country south of the globe
wait….wouldn’t a Japanese Knight be a samurai?
Probably yeah
That’s Samurott
>Gen 8
> No mega greninja
Fake
Z-Greninja would basically be the same as a Mega Greninja though. Ash-Greninja in the anime is actually even superior to Megas.
Forgot to add that Z-Greninja is a event giveaway, edited it now. Maybe refresh
Also, there are drawings. Here is the link http://forums.bulbagarden.net/index.php?threads/rumours-fakes-leaks-discussion-thread.214874/page-263#post-5992245
What credibility does this leaker have?
I haven’t read the whole discussion thread, but apparently the guy who leaked this has contacts in Japan or something
So basically…. no credibility at all. Just someone who got attention
Bascially. But it sounds much more plausible than recent crap like Solgaleo and Lunala have a pre-evolution
I dont see drawings
They’re there, look better lol
What page?
Between 255 and 264
On page 264 bottom reply has someone dropped the drawings now http://forums.bulbagarden.net/index.php?threads/rumours-fakes-leaks-discussion-thread.214874/page-264
RIP
I wouldn’t mind the starters having two different typings depending on the version you are playing, but would they be different in appearance? Cause, Rockruff evolves into the same type just different appearances.
I would assume there are slight differences in design if they also have different typings depending on version
No.
This doesn’t even sound good FAKE!!!!
South of the globe? As in, not on earth? xD
Going to change my handle and avi. About time I dedicate my account to my alltime favourite Pokemon
DONE
It’s like you’ve evolved
I probs wouldn’t know who you are if I hadn’t been here all day lol
Oh no wait who were you
Ehm Galemcaedus>AquaticSynchronization>Aqualate
Oh :S
Oh, I thought Aqualate was a new person. xD
WTF? I need a sugar daddy.
I know a couple of them that use Growlr/Grindr
same lmao
Oh, y’all some freaks . .. xD
#IBeenLooking. . .
I’ll be your splenda daddy. I can offer words of encouragement whenever you need a pick me up.
Got this off Bulbapedia as well
October 4th info includes: New Ultra Beasts, two new Alola formes and the Dolphin Pokemon.
Type: Null info is exlusive to CoroCoro
The regional fossils look similar to Pineco and Ferroseed
Alola Kingler and Alola Persion will be revealed
Kingler is Water/Fighting
Persian Dark/Normal
Same typing as Alolan Raticate? Hm….that seems off to me. They made a point to make Alolan meowth pure dark.
Why would Alola Persian have a different typing than its pre-evolution?
Also a relevant question. All alolan forms that evolve into another alolan form have had the same typing. I just don’t think alolan persian will be dark/normal.
Ninetales…
Yeah Vulpix is pure Ice and Ninetales part Fairy?
Shit, you’re right. But I still stand by my thoughts!
But isn’t Meowth Dark/Normal or just Dark?
Just dark
Wait let me check again, might be I added the Normal typing myself because of habit lol.
Yes pure Dark. I donno why I added Normal to it lol. My mistake!
Oh, good. It has more credibility now. We’ll have to see it it’s true though
Is Alolan vulpix ice/fairy or just ice?
Ice/Fairy
Vulpix is Ice, Ninetales is Ice/Fairy
Just ice
Alolan Marowak is Ghost/Fire though
I said an Alolan that evolves into another alolan. Cubone doesn’t have an alolan form, although I was already proven wrong with alolan vulpix -> alolan ninetails.
I doubt Kingler because of Crabrawler, 2 fighting type Crustaceans introduced in the same gen seems a bit off to me.
They keep coming, but this is a different one.
-A total of seven Ultra Beasts in each game, a total of eleven altogether (version-exclusive).
-Out of these set 127 new Pokemon, 59 will not be revealed until the game’s release.
-Samson Oak is the Hakuna of the Forbidden Island and owns one of the Island Guardians.
-The Kahuna from the Ice Mountain Island is someone from the Kalos region.
-The Kahuna for the island to the right of MeleMele Island is someone from the Sinnoh region.
-There are multiple after-game quests to be completed. Some include capturing Zygarde Perfect Forme, retrieving the Mega Staff, finding the Pokemon in the Tree of Lost Hope, etc.
-Although not revealed in videos pertaining to Pokemon Sun and Pokemon Moon, the games will indeed have new Mega Evolutions.
-Some of the new Mega Evolutions include the starters of the Johto and Unova region, Magmortar, Electrivire and Rhyperior.
-Most of the new mega evolutions are spread mainly throughout the second and fifth generation.
-The game is currently set to feature 26 new mega evolutions.
-Pokemon with mega evolutions cannot perform Z-Moves while in their Mega Form.
-There will be a total of 36 Alolan Forms in the game.
-Some of the new Alolan forms include Jynx, Nidoking and Rapidash.
-Guzma and Kukui are brothers but only Guzma is aware of it.
-Hala is Guzma’s and Kukui’s uncle.
-Both AZ and Blue will make a reappearance in the after-game.
-It is not possible to travel to the Kalos region in the after-game, but a cave can be found to lead the player to Terminus Cave.
-Lillie’s mother is Lusamine.
-Solgaleo and Lunaala are not the main legendaries of the game.
This one makes a little more sense but still what is this tree of lost hope, Zygarde can’t be perfect form unless at 50% health, Hala looks nothing like either of them how does that work?, why a staff for mega stone no characters have used Staffs and it’s not an accessory like others, And WHAT?! WHAT?! They are the Box Legendaries that is why breaks the Numels back they are shown to play a big role how on EARTH are they not the main Legendaries???!!!!!
Probably the big tree on the north-eastern island
Oh ok that one solved but the rest isn’t well said more on who made it in the first place (not you whoever leaked it)
Thankfully that Is a reasonable price I will have 2 day one lol
Earthen going into a meltdown if Mega Rhyperior turns out true
oh don’t push your luck whoever you are
i don’t believe a word of any of these “leaks”
I am Aqualate mate, just changed my avi and username xD
regardless i don’t believe you doppelganger
How can people not choose Sun Version? (rf)

Because of his blue forehead I prefer Lunala. His forehead looks like a touchscreen thats runs on a chargeable battery.

I hate that popplio final evo..whats the point of the hair !
because its byooootaful
??
its ugly and creepy
I am not a big fan but it looks pretty.
they fact that its a sea lion with 50% of being male yet looks like freaking woman with weird face make it ugly,I also dont get the stars and croqn thingy, its so weird
Starters have always been 12.5% female…
yeah, I forgot that, that actually make it even worse
But stuff like Meganium and Popplio3 should have opposite ratios.
Not Litten 3. Sorry
how did you know about popplio ? and meganium have gender diference and he doest have hair or obvious gender
Every starter should be 50/50 in my opinion.
I feel the starters should be 50/50 in case in Rockruff’s position that’s their secret then a 50/50 chance in case Moon and sun have different looks for Genders
Delphox and Serperior with 87% female looks feminine too is not a big issue.
delphox doesnt look like female a lot, and serpirior definetly doesnt look like a female, you probabbly think so because Ashs female snivy, but none of these looks like a human woman, and also the design itself is wierd
does not seem like something to be getting mad about
u can’t can’t convince me with that at all they look like damin female.
delphox looks like a female in the game, but the anime and other artwork it just looks like a fox with the a long hair, unlike braxen, but serpirior, I never thought it as a girl, maybe because it looks smooth, but this is another story, this is a sea lion with human charactaristics, hair and hair band and stuff
http://www.pkparaiso.com/imagenes/anime/820/289.jpg
I really think we should cut it with this feminine pokemon bullshit talk, because it’s going to start another fight and more people are going to leave over it.
I think ur gonna make a fight by posting this comment.
Seems to have ended, in my opinion.
It ended before u give ur advise……
Snivy looks like this kid on Lazy Town:

Wait a second, do you ever have a youtube animation channel? I recognize your avatar
LOL, yes, but its been a long while since I uploaded something, I’m more active on devient art now :3
omg wow! Small internet huh?
hahah yeah I guess so
ok but on topic, I think it would look weird without the hair (rf)
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/982816ba5609d00b0bfad8a96ec1b7f48a2f77750d972f9a9e3d18da3de64b77.png
It’s based on a mermaid so I think it fits
they could take the stars and the band and just gave it ears, and maybe adjust the hair, there are so many possible ways to make a decent looking sealion, I also dont know why is it based on mermaid when its a sea lion…
If it contains both console and handlend (assuming that it is at this point), then this is a very reasonable price.
Ok, so I’m seeing a bunch of people saying that this price is too high, so let me elaborate a bit so people don’t get confused. If it’s just the console part, then yeah, it’s too much, but if the NX is nintendo’s next handlend and the next console (ooh the NeXt would be a cool name), then think of it this way.
————-
LAUNCH PRICES
3DS – 179.99
Wii U – 349.99
So if it includes both, this is a great price.
It’s 350. Check some older comments
What is? The new price? I mean in USD.
Yeah, the price is 350 USD. Apparently most systems do that so like
350$
350(pound sign)
Hmm. So I guess the handheld will be seperate.
Not necessarily. Since they are being designed with both in mind, they probably share an OS and be developed cheaply
That’s not what I like to hear. I’d rather pay more money for a good console than less for a cheaply made one.
No, that isn’t what I meant. Like, the development of the system costs less, not that it is poorly made
Here’s a question based of Haxford and Natsu’s comments below.
Why are you picking the game you’re picking.
I’m getting Moon because:
> I like the Night Time setting
> Lunaala’s design is better looking to me
> I can’t see myself getting Sun… I just can’t…. (It’s weird… I thought about it after Passimian was revealed, but I couldn’t)

Beautiful.
Pokemon Moon by Eritia-Coli.deviantart.com on @DeviantArt
This has to be one of the coolest images of Lunala!
Absolutely stunning!?
Both, BUT, Sun is my primary game, where I breed and stuff, and here’s why.
– Moon’s nighttime gameplay aspect looks like a ton of fun, so I’ll have moon open to replay rather than having it locked into breeding
– I actually like UB2A better than UB2B
– I want to use midday lycanroc during my first playthough
– I gave my brother first choice and he chose moon
> My boyfriend saw the game names quicker than I did and claimed Moon Version
> After seeing Solgaleo, I didn’t mind because he was my immediate favorite
> I like the version exclusives better so far (Lycanroc, Passimian, Solgaleo and UB2)
> I recently saw that I have always chosen the “first” version (Red, (Heart) Gold, (Omega) Ruby, Diamond, Black and X) and apparently now I am too (but this is just a coincidence)
-I always choose the blue or more blue like game (X, AS, SS, D, White, LG, Sapphire, Yellow)
-I like Lunala’s type and design
-I get to play at night during the day and it’s easier to get Umbreon during the day instead of staying up till dawn trying to boost friendship for it
-Eaiser to get Weavile (that’s all I gotta say to win this Weavile)
Oh yeah, the day/night evolutions should be interesting in this game.
Why don’t you just friendship boost it during the day, press B when it starts evolving into Espeon then level it up at night?
I don’t know I like not using B I have weird problems like that
Well I love playing during night-time In game but the main reason is lunaala. I love that moon bat, so elegant and cryptic.
This seems way too specific to be a placeholder price. I’d like to believe that the NX will be revealed soon, but I am really beginning to lose hype. I doubt I’m the only one who thinks their marketing approach to the NX is foolish.
Of course you aren’t the only one. I was full of hype in august and early september, but at this point I kinda forgot that the announcement was coming soon, and that’s not a good thing coming from a dedicated nintendo fan.
Seeing fan art like this always makes me feel disappointed about the real deal (rf)

I prefer my mermaid
At this point we just need to expect gimmicky starters. I’m not saying that they’re bad, look at Rowlet 3, I really like that one, but they’re definitely risks.
How are they gimicky?
Let’s look at the pattern.
What were gen 6’s final starter evos? What do they have in common?
Well, they are all assigned to an occupation of sorts.
Chesnaught is a knight, Delphox is a mage, and Greninja is a ninja.
What do the starter leaks have? Occupations (as I like to put it).
Popplio 3 is a mermaid, Rowlet 3 is an archer, and Litten 3 is a wrestler.
Honeslty it’s cool once in a while but I miss the old way they did starters. A bigger and cooler looking version of the first form.
What’s the theme??
It doesn’t necessarily have a theme. Gen 6 was obviously fantasy RPG classes, but I don’t see a clear theme with this one, which makes it worse IMO. It started with Gen 5, but was less apparent.
Wait, I’m confused though. The original 5 didn’t have a theme, you didn’t like gen 6’s theme, why is this a problem?
Ok, clearly we’re on a different page here. xD Forget about an overarching theme. By “gimmicks”, I meant giving the starters jobs, rather than being larger cooler versions of the first form. They made Samurott a samurai, rather than just a cool otter. They made Litten a wrestler, rather than a cool tiger. They made Greninja a ninja, rather than a cool frog. It’s all up to opinion whether you like the direction they’re going in, but it’s obvious that they love assigning jobs to the starters these days. Sorry if that was confusing, got it now? xD
Oh I see what you’re saying. I kinda understand
Yeah, it’s all up to opinion whether that’s a good thing or a bad thing, but it’s definitely there.
I miss starter evolutions like in Gen 1, 3 and 4 (maybe 5). In my opinion they are perfectly executed. In Gen 6 and 7 they just try to follow a theme, which isn’t necessary, and it doesn’t make them look good.
Flippers are too similar to Kyogre, otherwise it’s cool.
When you’re typing a paper and spell execute ‘Exeggcute”
Exeggcute order 66
The exact sentence was, “If kids were not exposed to media from ages 3-8, they would not know what violence is and how to
Exeggcuteexecute it.”That’s a bold claim.
Oh. It’s not my claim. It’s a quote from one of my sources
Lol, still a bold claim, regardless of who it came from.
Yeah it’s one of those things that you could debate for hours and never come up with a solid answer of who’s right. It’s basically one of the discussion topics that I had in my college courses. hahaha It’s more of a topic that is just to get people thinking critically rather than having a real answer lol
Thank Arceus. haha
Unless their mom/dad is abusive.
Sounds like a funner essay than what I’m doing. I’m writing an essay on an essay. What fun.
Do we know if the NX pic below is legit?
It’s fake, I left a comment below to let others know.
Rumors going around about a Dark type Regi
Those rumor mills are really pumping them out today…
I’m not sure what that would add to the lore, other than another Regi weak to fighting type.
Next we’ll get Normal regi. Regibland.
Hopefully the price is lower. A key advantage Nintendo have over his competitors is the pricing of his products.
Nintendo is a he?? 😮
grammatically in this sentence, yes even though the correct grammar should be it
Unless you’re referring to the multiple employees in Nintendo and you use Nintendo as a collective then it is they.
I like grammar
in this case, im using Nintendo as the company, a company is gender neutral so it would be it.
I hate grammar, but most of my paper, grammar have high value of points, so i made sure to learn my grammar
True, but at the same time Nintendo has been putting out under powered consoles as of late. If the console really does rival the Xbone or PS4 in anyway the price will likely be somewhere between $300-$400
while this is true, when a casual buyer reads Nintendo, they would not assume this. If they want to make this product pricey, they better start advertising the power of this console so casual people understand the price.
I’d say a good first start is TO ACTUALLY SHOW OFF THE NX……hahaha sorry for the caps…..Anyway what they need to do is reveal it. Then they can talk it up and make it sound great. Hearing a little bit of this and a little of that from potential 3rd party developers means nothing unless we can actually assess the console with our own eyes lol
Tbh if I didnt buy the Wii U I’d care more about the price of the NX but I feel like Nintendo shafted me. It’s like they half-assed the wii u because all their time secretly went into the NX :/
Exactly…. I can’t even fathom how people can talk about the Wii U and say it’s the best console ever…..It’s not….not by a mile….Granted it had some pleasurable games such as Bayonetta 2 and Splatoon, but over all the system was a failure. It was under powered, had a relatively small selection of games that anyone could call “great”, and forced you to choose to play with one of many awkward controllers…..*sigh*…..I love Nintendo, but this past gen for them was a flop in the grand scheme of things… lol
Yeah I’d honestly have to say my biggest regret wrt buying something is the wii u. I had fun playing on it but if I never had it I wouldnt be phased 🙁
I got it for cheaper as I bought a refurbished one. Otherwise I’d still not have one probably. It says something about a console when you buy it and then touch it very little after the first week. It’s basically become the Netflix machine for my parents as I refuse to move my PS4 into the family room. lol
What if Nintendo just released the NX without ever showing it off? They would probably be confused about why it didn’t sell very well
i would think they would learn from their disastrous marketing from the wii u lol
I’m saying that if they don’t reveal it by December, they’re doomed.
No company would ever do that. That is just asking for the failure of your product.
