Pokémon X & Pokémon Y may have been released over four years ago, but a mystery still looms over the games… whatever happened to AZ’s Floette (also referred to as the “Eternal Flower” form) that was coded in as an event Pokémon but never released?
AZ was a mysterious character who is revealed throughout X & Y‘s story to be a former king that built a machine to resurrect his beloved Pokémon who died in a great war. Unfortunately, although successful, he was not completely satisfied simply to have his Floette reunited with him—he wanted to end the entire war. In order to do so he re-purposed his machine into a weapon of total destruction which was fueled by the very life essence of Pokémon around it. After using it, the war ended, but his beautiful flower Pokémon refused to forgive him for the deaths he caused and disappeared.
Although AZ ultimately reconciles with his Pokémon, players eagerly waiting for this unique Floette form have not had such an auspicious conclusion. The form is still unavailable to this day and has never been formally mentioned by GameFreak. What’s more, its base stats differed than standard Floette’s; altogether it has a BST of 551 while its normal evolution is just one point higher at 552 (a normal Floette has a measly BST of 371). This isn’t all that surprising though given that it is evolution-locked and cannot evolve into Florges. It also has access to a special move, Light of Ruin, which is the strongest Fairy-type attack, but is currently usable by no other Pokémon besides this unreleased enigma.
There are many theories as to why this may have been. Was it meant for another game, possibly a third title for Generation VI, which explored Kalos’ lore in greater depth? Was its grim history too much for a family-friendly game? Or was it coded in for an unused battle against AZ, only existing as a model for the NPC to use?
What do YOU think happened and would you like to see it distributed some day? Maybe in the X & Y remakes!
I like to be hopeful so I am leaning towards it making an appearance in the X&Y remakes.
No one should be allowed to say the phrase “X and Y remakes”
F that… Hack!
Hacking is for losers lol
Who.. ironically win a lot
Not real winning though.
A win is a win Monkey.. if you hack fairly.. no one should even notice.
We just have more time to train
Who need hacking because they suck lol
How does skipping breeding determine ones skill. It’s like trading and instantly getting what you want from someone who already has it.
Git gud
Lol… K

And winners 😉
;)))))))
Then it’s a shame you clearly dont use iti
If I’m not a winner or a loser then what I am? 🤔
Irrelevant 👀
Omg we have so many things in common :O
It’s ashame good comebacks aren’t one of the things you mirror from me 👀
If hacking is for losers I don’t wanna be a winner
But…
Born to be a winner (Joh-to)
Born to be a champion
> Implying you’ve ever been one 👀
I have
I was a dishonest woman when I was 10
I always figured they decided against it because it’s such an important pokemon. Unless AZ himself gives it to you, which im not sure why he would, it would be wrong just to have one for yourself. But now that gen 6 is over I don’t see why it should still be an issue.
We’ve gotten alot of Ash’s Pikachu, pretty sure that’s of similar importance to a character.
Yeah, but he’s not necessarily canon to the games is he? I guess in a way he is, but not the show Ash. We still got them in a game in which ash does not appear, which is why i think now is an okay time to go ahead and release it
Probably scraped when they fumbled the movies
It will probably appear in the game that has the region that Kalos was at war with. While we are exploring that particular region we might be able to find it.
Masuda: never had a purpose fam we just wanted to troll the hackers
They should’ve done the same for UB Luasmine
Think of how triggered all of you would be
I stole it
He ate it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kq0VtjWFV3Q
It was probably a last minute decision, like they thought that owning the Pokemon that AZ awaited for so long is kinda inmoral? Idk. But eh, if it was planned to release in another XY game then why not release it in SM?
What I’m most curious about.. is how Competitive it is!?
It pains me to do this but the subject of Floette aka Fairies makes me want to perfect a fairy type Fakemon that doesn’t immediately make me barf

thoughts opinions criticisms?
Rad af
be warned this pokemon only exists in one place at a specific time with a very rare rate of 1%
you must have perfect luck if you want to capture its first stage
Ok that’s dumb change it
make me, this pokemon is the living embodiment of luck ergo you must be lucky to
i’ll drop the time availability but the 1% encounter rate stays no exceptions
I think the time constraint fits
Remember we’ve had worse *Looks at a Sinnoh Munchlax
it should only be found in the morning

i might add Wish in there this is still a work in progress
I would say AZs Floette is likely never coming. It was probably something they planned to release, but ultimately decided it wasn’t needed.i know it got it’s move updated, but that was likely just to cover bases rather than them getting it ready for release. Peeps need to move on. If it gets released then awesome. If not then it’s not the end of the world.
Luckiest I’ve ever been on showdown lol

HOLY FRACK LUCK IS REAL I GOT……home early
because of the blizzard and low customer influx they let me leave early with pay (via personal day but who cares i work hard for them)
now i can SR for the rest of the day, maybe i’ll get lucky
Dang they called that a blizzard? Where I’m at it wasn’t so bad .
I agree, it’s really bizarre that AZ Floette has been mysteriously never released. It’s a shame though, because it has the strongest fairy attack and really nice stats, but Pokémon apparently forgot about it and it’s lost in the data of every new game until a miraculous event occurs for it.
I remembered how XY story was so cringy.
You fucking terrible people trying to take his Floette how dare you. You all deserve to burn in hell. He waited 3000 years for his middle of the road fairy type and if you’re not goona let him keep it you don’t deserve oxygen
This also is true for all the monster wanting to own a corrupted woman trapped inside of a jellyfish
Hey shut the f*ck up shes cool
I think she should’ve gotten a signiture move and maybe a post game event where you can rechallenge a catch her
But… but… his Floette is so cool and I want it..
Finally I’m a having a good day
-I sit next to my crush in English from now until April (I almost lost it I was so happy) and this was my first period so. Lit!
-Next to no math homework today
-Got to watch a bunch of kids argue over nothing a table away in lunch and get to sit with a table of friends
I’m not having the best luck, but I’m making do:
My friend (Seraph) no longer has the same Lunch period as me
Another one of my friends sits 2 rows away from me now until the next quarter in English.
I still haven’t found my lost my lunchbox either, so that’s nice
Sorry about that friend
Something to cheer you up https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/6dd5909b8a8927cb6676e2eba58d9210e413a2430cc32b776b022d03c967b291.jpg

ugh this is becoming very tedious…..anyone familiar to the coin case glitch?
I’m not familiar with them sadly
I watched a video on it earlier, it works in G/S not Crystal. I’m also not sure how legit it is considered, it is a glitch after all.
Might have to cop Monster Hunter: World ffs mad reviews flying around
Hopfully we can find it as a rare version of Floette in future games. Maybe a 1% encounter rate in a certain area.
What I want to see is Az finally dying and his child using, now evolved, Az’s Flogres
Nice
I think it is unable to evolve due to the revival process.
Now that i think about it… Maybe we have to wait 3,000 years before they release it. 🤔
Ok me needs to someone else to decide for me
Do I do an Auk or a Blue Footed Booby
Well one looks aukward so go for the booby
Blueby
Boobs
It’s gonna take 3000 years for this stupid thing to be shiny
I think this event was planned for a normal event, but due to time constraints, they couldn’t get it done.
If you ask me though, considering how they handled Zygarde in future gens I wouldn’t be surprised if that was the case here. I feel that after gen 6 GF just didn’t want to deal with it anymore so they stopped following up on any events related to that gen specifically.
I guess it could be put in as a special one not owned by AZ that is just a really rare mutation, called Floette Ruinous forme or something. I don’t remember if its’ appearance was explained, was it as a direct result of its’ revival or was it like that before it died?
It was like that before it died
So it’s likely some form of Mutation that could potentially occur in nature again?
It’s most likely an extinct Floette variant with no remaining members living naturally, which is probably linked to its flower being extinct.
UlSun: “The flower it’s holding can no longer be found blooming anywhere. It’s also thought to contain terrifying power.”
Interestingly enough, there’s one in Sootopolis near a tree planted by AZ.

Hm, that is interesting. Could mean it is a flower that now only blooms once in a certain period of years and fleetingly. Which would mean there is potential for another of these Floette were one to bond with it. Question is would it need to have the flower as a Flabebe or is it somehow a replacement for a special Floette. The flower would appear to alter the Floette itself, perhaps removing its’ ability to evolve.
AZ’s floette mixed with buzzwole
Call it
AZ’s swolette
Imagine the text:
“Swolette… it’s been 3,000 years…”
3000 gains
Even better
soft resetting for nearly 5 hours….i just wish there as a way to know if its actually working
in my moments of insanity i fear what if the celebi i’ve been SRing is the same exact one and will always be the same one and will never be shiny
I know the feeling i was trying to SR for Sudowoodo and I kept thinking “what if my game is broke and im just getting the same thing over and over?” It didn’t help that for some odd reason all the Sudowoodo near the end were male.
It’s not generated until the battle starts I think.
Let this calm your fears:

Unfortunately he has better luck than you though lmao
I’m think that when I finally transfer up my HG team from last summer and my Black team from the last couple months up to the current gen I’ll have them all make a pit stop in ORAS so I can get them up to lvl 100 via Blissey bases. It’ll be a much easier task there instead of trying to find Chansey in USUM and SOS grinding
For those of you who did not see, I posted this on the last article. I’d really appreciate it if you all told me how it looks/how to improve it! (I also really appreciate those who commented before). I’m also thinking of making Giratina shiny and making the title light blue.
“Tried making an intro for my game (tentative title Pokemon Guardians, may remove the Pokemon part). Here it is! I didn’t make the animation part, just the artwork. And if it seems like it is a little blurry, that is because my screen recorder upscales a little. Not sure why. The screen should more look like this: https://i.imgur.com/IF1ofcL.png

Loving it 😀
Thank you!
I love it!!!!
Do you have any idea what your starters are? Or have you only thought of region design first?
No starters. You’re given a gift pokemon at the start of the game that you use (or at least you’re supposed to).
Ooooo What’s the Pokémon if you don’t mind?
😀
I might make the lines a bit sharper on Giratina but otherwise it’s great.
I’ve thought this too. I have a version with outlines. The problem I encountered was that I drew everything huge (like 3000×2000), and had to downscale it. It makes all the lines weird.
Hm, don’t know what to suggest on that, can you do the lines after downscaling?
To be 100% honest I do not like it. I’m not saying I could make something better, but for me it looks ugly and unfinished. It’s made with just streaks of a marker tool, right? I think it would be better if you made a sketch first, then Filler it with colour. Maybe you could replace it with custom Pixel art of Girantina. You’re amazing at making maps, but I think you could work on this some more. Don’t take it personally, I just wanted to give my honest opinion.
See my comment below. This is essentially what I did, it’s the downscaling that makes everything look weird.
Could you show us the original (huge) artwork?
I’m out right now but I can make an album when I get back!
It looks exactly like your Avi….
First off, the fact you’re making this is fucking amazing.
I think you should redo the Giratina art work though, maybe in a more pixel style to fit with the logo
I think it looks nice … I mean.. what were people expecting??
Love it! So are you making Sinnoh based game?
Not at all lol, I just liked the intro animation. Maybe because Sinnoh is my favorite region
Alright, I’m back on the road again for starting on my rebooted region! Currently, I figured out the region name and am working on the legendaries.
The region will be based on Tanzania and the theme of the region will be focused tradition and rebirth.
Sounds Awesome!!!
I’m on like my 9th reboot for my region and am currently working on story and some early game Pokémon
Oh cool, what’s the region based on?
So far I wanted to make it based off Puerto Rico (I won’t fully make it tropical as I’m making a smaller portion be cut off from water and that will be of the opposite climate as the main part)
The theme is a bit undetermined atm, but I have ideas for the Legendaries.
Will you make a Tasmania devil starter/regional rodent? Lol
Maybe… I’ll see
Meant to add this for the theme, but another theme is ‘breaking away from regular tradition’, so that not only means individuals in the region encompassing this idea, but also normal traditions consistent in normal Pokémon games might be severely different or diverge from it. So there could be patterns that were existent in normal Pokémon games that are non-existent, way different, or have a unique twist on it.

A few questions if I may ask.
Could you tell me what you use to make your map designs or what the program is called?
Is is free of charge? Or do I have to pay a few of sorts to use It?
I use RPG Maker XP and Pokemon Essentials. It has a free trial program for 30 days, but if you set your clock back after it ends you’ll get the trial back.
Thanks man!!!
=____= why isn’t this stupid thing shiny yet……i feel it’s not worth it at this point
You’ll get it!

We have a couple new ResetERA rumors today…pretty spicy ones too. Apparently Bandai Namco is assisting in development for Metroid Prime 4, and they’re also working on a Smash 4 Deluxe port for this year. This one’s a bit more of a curveball…we could be seeing a “New Super Mario Bros. U +” port this year also. Yeah, that’s what we need, another platformer. Oh well, I’d still buy it.
Also, Nintendo earnings come out at 11PM PST tonight, with a Nintendo strategy meeting coming “tomorrow”. These normally don’t make big waves but I’m very curious to hear what they have to say about Labo’s role along with this blizzard of ports.
Eww I hope they don’t port Super Mario Bros U
no ports!
why not?
who wants the same game twice
Ports are for people who didn’t buy the game mostly, nobody forces you to buy ports.
idk, maybe people who never played these games before?
All these ports lol https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/3fef085f0180ebbb728f0a835936657444cc834d486ecd2bbe2504ded3069c94.jpg
Ok so this is a very interesting set of rumors. Not necessarily at face value, but if you take the Bandai Namco helping to making MP 4 THAT’S where things get interesting. At the beginning of the month a guy that apparently has credibility listed out a bunch of stuff he had heard about up coming games and such. One of the things he said was that Bandai Namco was making MP 4. I saw some people saying he was fake just because of this because obviously when you think of MP you don’t think of BN.
Now where this gets really interesting is that he also stated that the new Pokemon game is definitely coming this year. He also basically called the direct we got on the 11th so there’s that. Here’s a link to the one reddit post he made.
https://www.reddit.com/r/Kappa/comments/7niilu/leakileaks_part_ii_a_statement_of_previous_ones/
Why does Igglybuff have red eyes?
It’s secretly demonic.
Don’t doubt it
You can barely even tell if it’s shiny in crystal so if you get it you should check the summary.
It is hard to make out those eyes. I’m going for shiny magby or maybe elekid though
I wouldn’t leave that out of consideration since I hate Jigglypuff so much.
No the friendship required to evolve exorcises the evil within.
My grandmother and you wouldn’t be the best of friends
Ever since I got into the game that’s been her favorite
my Father’s favorite is Koffing
It’s so cute tho
It’s a demonic wishing eye
The spiral pattern on its’ head is an evil insignia.
Also for a creature that consists mainly of a head does it ultimately posses a throat to which it can damage due to overexertion of its singing?
It’s got a mouth so it’s gotta have a throat

-New Legendary Hero is Vanguard Ike
-New mode that’s gonna for 2 weekas
-Daily GHBs are returning (Xander is finally coming home)
-New Hero Fest banner with Nephenee, Sigurd, Brave Lyn, and Brave Ike as Focus
Only bummer is that we haven’t gotten the results for CYL2 yet

If gen 8 is really gonna have a different combat (this tweet kinda implies that)
Then Gen 8 pre release season is likely gonna be FFXV’s but on a major scale, and believe me, that was baaaaad.
Hmm.. possibly. But this Is largely a kids game. So they may not look that far past the name. Tho I c lots of parents got their kids a 3DS instead.. so maybe older players will decide this time… To early to tell
Well she’s not wrongGameplay changes of any kind are gonna increase discussion so I’m hyped for that. If the new system changes a lot I see Showdown keeping to the old style and possibly getting more popular because of that
I agree.. tho I’d never play showdown.. exect Xiaolin Showdown…
I feel like she doesn’t know more than we do.. just likes attention. They all do.
My reasoning.. ppl like this leak all their reliable information as soon as they get it, cuz they want the attention from breaking the news first.. if they don’t, someone else will..
So largely these lil mystery tweets in between clear posts are just build up..
Switch outsells Wii U lifetime sales.
https://abload.de/img/sales5nk7c.png
Let’s be honest the Labo is gonna outsell the Wii U at some point :p
They’ll soon run out of Wii U boxes to recycle.
Nice hopefully they keep it up!
10 months. It only took 10. Hook, line, and sinker.
Crazy sales numbers!
USUM did 7.5 million combined (SM are at 15 million)
Super Mario Odyssey is at 9.7 million (Mario Galaxy at 11 million)
Breath of the Wild at 6.7 million (TP Wii sold 7.1 million)
Mario Kart 8 Deluxe at 7.3 million (Mario Kart 8 Wii U at 7.6 million)
itprintsmoney.gif
How about Xenoblade Chronicles 2 at over 1 million in sales? Apparently that’s really good news for that franchise! I loved the 60 hours I put into it, so I’m really happy to hear it!
Yep, it’s great! But it’s nothing crazy above XC1/XCX and I think the game now barely broke even. SMO is a lot crazier tbh.
According to Serebii’s twitter, PokeSwitch is still being pushed for ‘2018 or later’
I mean good on GameFreak for not making promises, but I hope they don’t rush it for 2018.
I still think it’s coming out this year. The fact they say 2018 or later shows that 2018 is the plan. Or later is just in case it’s delayed for some reason like diamond and pearl were. The main question is how long have they been working on this game.
Hopefully the “later” part. The more time they take the better tbh
Very late update on my blaze black playthrough. Haven’t been able to play past few days but got around to playing some more. Just got my eighth badge and had the final battle with cheren.

In a way you are working hard for something you love

I just won a 164 turn stall match
Well I’m immensely pissed
-bad night of sleep
-my brother overslept and missed the bus and had to rush him to school and made a mistake on the way
-a really stupid cashier at 711 couldn’t figure out how a plastic bag and triple knotted it
-my other brother trashed the kitchen (and I’m 100% he ate all the damn roast beef WHICH I JUST BOUGHT LAST NIGHT)
-dog puked on the carpet which is doublely bad because not only do I hate cleaning puke now I gotta keep an eye on him Incase he’s sick
-still no shiny Celebi which I’ve spent all my time on for the last 2 days
– And I have a stress migraine
I find it immensely frustrating that we have an article here posing an interesting question about a Pokémon-related topic, yet the comments section is an absolute disaster of mismatched conversations. This website has such potential but absolutely no organization. It feels like a virtual elementary school lunchroom, with kids just shouting over each other.
I have that off-topic feeling too sometimes, I think that is because there is no moderation or only a little… but we have to understand that the people running this site don’t have the time for that, so it’s up to us to contribute to unrelated topics or not…
and I wouldn’t say this is like elementary school… I find this site and the people in the comments very mature and welcoming everyone, one of the most friendly Pokemon sites where people use to respect each other’s opinions without bad reactions or personal attacks in general.
one could not say the same from other popular communities…
I think the code is there just for the model… and it won’t have more relevance than that, maybe in the gen 6 remake? who knows
do we know if the code is also in gen 7? if true they may be considering it for a future event or game…
The comments section are wild in here! Very related to the topic. haha
