Pokemon X and Pokemon Y

[jkid101094]

A few days ago GameFreak released a statement, at the end of a Pokemon Black 2/White 2 trailer, that a big announcement for the series would be coming on January 8th of this year. No one has any clues to what this exactly is but a friend of my theorizes that we may already be seeing generation 6. Here are his point:

* If the games are announced now and are released in the fall, Gen 5 will have lasted the same amount of time as Gens 1 and 2.
* Pokemon needs to move to the 3DS. To do that Gamefreak needs a new engine and it is unlikely that Gamefreak would built that engine for a spin-off.

Even thought there are only two points that I posted he does make good ones. Those of you who wanted the Ruby/Sapphire remakes may be disappointed all because of the 3DS.

Of course, it could be a new movie, a new arc of the anime or a Wii U game but even then the statement makes it seem like it's bigger than that. What do you guys think?

~Click for Countdown~

[SmashFinale]

i say... new anime arc. Or something so unexpected that it might come in a form of a crossover... or some new social media app for wii u and/or 3DS that involves pokemon.

The anime is pretty much done unless it's all original story from here on out.

Even all the movies are near done. Genesect is being pumped out right now.

[TheGameNinja]

It's too soon for a new generation. I think that is very unlikely.

Ruby/Sapphire remakes have a better chance. There have been hints, just like there were for Gold/Silver.

A Wii U game is also very likely. The first Pokemon game on Nintendo's new console would certainly be a huge deal. Honestly, this is the most likely scenario.

I do not think it will be a spinoff. Unless its a Wii U spinoff, then maybe. But they've never made this big of a deal about spinoffs. Something for the anime is possible I guess, but I honestly don't think that's what it will be, seeing as Japan and America are announcing it at the same time and America is behind Japan in the anime.

This is most likely a game. Most likely not a spinoff. So I'm betting on either a Wii U stadium style game or R/S remakes, with the Wii U game being the more likely option.

The anime has and will always go its own way at some point. Remember how long they were in Johto?

Pokemon Battle Revolution 2 for Wii U.

I wish.

[Super Sonic Boom]

Pokemon Battle Revolution 2 for Wii U.

I wouldn't doubt it if that game was already in production.

[shadowDOESrock]

Though, i would rather see something like Pokemon XD on GC.

You know, a full real pokemon game with an overworld n'all with pretty HD graphics.

Or an even better idea, a combination between PokePark and Pokemon XD. Travel as trainer, Battle as Pokemon. Now wouldn't you want to pay for something like that?

[TheGameNinja]

It's going to be a game. The announcement will be made through a special Nintendo Direct called Pokemon Direct. If this had to do with the anime, there's no reason to have Satoru Iwata hosting it.

Pikachu 3DS already exists... In Japan & Europe.

[SmashFinale]

Well its official, its 6 generation.

... AND ITS COLORLESS


TGN shall explain.

[TheGameNinja]

Pokemon X and Pokemon Y come out almost everywhere in October. I believe they were named this way just so the third game can be Pokemon Z.

Gameplay looks amazing and getting close to what a lot of people have been wanting since DPPt. I'm glad there's new main series games, but I'm not sure I love that they're being released so soon. Gen V is still pretty new.

Rumor is that the new region is based on France.

[Mephiles]

Gen V will have lasted about 3 years by this fall, like the first 2 gens did. it only seems new still, since gen III and IV lasted about 4 years each, throwing off the pattern.

btw, they will probably make Pokemon Z, with a legendary Z-shaped pokemon and all the legendaries together will form XYZ Dragon Cannon

[jkid101094]

Happiness fills my bosom.

I also now demand that FR/LG get remade to accommodate the new style. *shot*

I've been wanting this since 2000.
I hope this justifies the sheer lazyness from all the Pokemon's on DS. No more copy/paste.

Now, do the same for Mario.

[TheGameNinja]

Japan, China, and other countries have towers like that too. =3=

I was joking, but I seriously didn't know that. =P

Tbh i didnt even notice it the first time i saw the vid. Then i watched it again and noticed that Pikachu was a kilometer away from the effiel tower.

Supposedly this game will have a Europe inspired region. I haven't found a definitive source for this but it makes sense given the routes are being reset much like how they were in gen five when the series moved from Japanese inspired regions to an American inspired one.

As such there is an interesting theory going around that the legendaries are based on Norse mythology. In said mythology there are three creatures that live in the world tree Yggdrasil: an eagle(Y), a stag(X), and a dragon(obligatory third legendary because it always has to be a trio). If this game ties into Norse mythology that could make for a very interesting story. That said, this is a Pokemon game so I'm not getting my hopes up to high.

The genetics theme seems like a given with Y's blood vessel wings and X's DNA antlers, but the above rumor seems to make sense as well(and is also more interesting).

I'm late on this but the X mascot is named Xerneas and the Y mascot is Yveltal.

...those are the English names, btw. Have fun pronouncing those. =P

[Dax7]

At least 50 new 'mons and moar pokemon in 3d. Hmmm I might move bck into the series now since the last game I played was Emerald.

[Hakudamashi]

I refused to buy PKMN Black or White 1 & 2, but I'm definitely getting this one.

I'm thinking it's a normal type, however, the banner for the Eevee tourney had a butterfly on it plush it looks like it has antennae and it's bows also look like butterflies.

Same.

As far as I know.

This form reminds me of the old Mewthree hack that used to go around. That's isn't to say I don't think it's cool, though. I can adjust.

[Hakudamashi]

So I'm going to assume the the bad gang of this gen used Team Rocket's blueprints to make their own Mew clone.
That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

[jkid101094]

This form is in the new movie with Genesect so this form is more than likely tied to Team Plasma.

Pokemon needs to move to the 3DS. To do that Gamefreak needs a new engine and it is unlikely that Gamefreak would built that engine for a spin-off.

Can't they just port the Black/White engine to the 3DS?

"The episode of Japanese variety show, Pokémon Smash, due to air on May 19th is said to be a massive Pokémon X & Y special featuring Junichi Masuda with lots of information promised. It is likely that this information will be revealed in CoroCoro, which is due for release in Japan on Wednesday, so we could have it any time between now and then, so keep checking back."

"The first details of CoroCoro appears to have come out. Though currently unconfirmed, it looks too legit to be fake. We're currently investigating and translating so keep checking. With special thanks to my friend Gin for translation. First, the Pokémon on the far right is called Gogoat (ã,´ãƒ¼ã,´ãƒ¼ãƒˆ literally Gohgohto) and is the Riding Pokémon. It's Grass-type, 1.7m and 91.0kg. You can actually ride this Pokémon in the field. It can learn Horn Leech
The lizard is called Elikiteru (ã,¨ãƒªã,­ãƒ†ãƒ«) and is a Electric/Normal-type. It is the Generation Pokémon and is 0.5m and 6.0kg. It has a new move called Parabola Charge which heals the user while damaging opponents. It uses solar rays to generate electricityP
The bird is called Yayakoma (ヤヤã,³ãƒž) and is the Japanese Robin Pokémon. It is Normal/Flying, 0.3m and 1.7kg. It announces itself with a beautiful voice. It can use the move Nitro Charge
The panda is called Yancham ( ヤンチャム) and is the Naughty Pokémon. It is Fighting-type, 0.6m and 8.0kg. It has a new move called Parting Remark
There appears to be more including the game's boxarts, and the Pokédex, as well as the region map but it's not completely visible. We'll bring more as it comes so be sure to keep checking. It also promises more information on Gogoat on a later page.
Edit: The game is set in the Karos Region which appears to be based on France. You can customise your trainer slightly with hair colour and skin shade. Main city is Miare City which is where it is seen to ride Gogoat
Edit @ 15:22: We have the cover and it shows that these four Pokémon may be the only new ones in it. It also shows the boxart"

[Hakudamashi]

So, Fairy Type
I wonder what it's weak to... Dark and ghost types maybe?

It's weak to Poison and Fighting but resistant to Ice.

Pokémon X & Y - Download Card & File Size

It has been announced that the games Pokémon X & Y will both be distributed via a special download card in various retail stores across Japan in addition to the standard release as both cartridges and directly on the eShop. This follows on from various previous games on the Nintendo 3DS and Wii U. However, these download cards have confirmed how much space is required on the SD card in order to play it. You need to have at least 1.7GB, approximately 14,000 blocks, of space on your SD card to download the game. It's also confirmed that you'll be unable to have two games communicate on the same system should both be downloaded

Bolded for emphasis. I don't like downloading games when there's a physical release, but that is an awesome feature.

I'm a dummy. This is something you should know if you're planning on getting the downloadable version though.

[jkid101094]

You'll be unable. Here's hoping for Pokemon Box 2.

[TheGameNinja]

...oh

can't believe I misread that. Just hopeful I guess. Oh well.

We're less than a month away! Also, since it hasn't been mentioned here before: X and Y probably refer to the axes of a 3D plane. X and Y are length and width and Pokemon Z is inevitable because Z is the third axis, depth.

Solid typing and has access to prankster. What's not to love? I mean it loses its fighting weakness, immune to poison. Only really leaves fire types. Possibly a shallow movepool but we will see how it turns out, maybe we will have to stick to whimsicott.

Isn't that thing kinda unnecessary if you have Pokemon X/Y, considering the game has every Pokemon in 3D as well? Sure, you have to catch them before it reveals the full Pokedex entry, but it still beats paying $15 for a separate app even if it does get updated.

Pokedex 3D also tells all the moves a PKMN can learn by leveling or through TMs, and gives description on those moves. I found it very handy when picking out my Black 2 team, and I believe the X/Y Dex doesn't do that.

As i said it all depends on its movepool, with prankster your non attacking moves get +1 priority for example substitute and leech seed. If it has no good moves like encore a sleep inducing move etc then it will be rubbish

There is a glitch that could happen if you save in Lumiose City that corrupts your save file. Don't save in the blue areas. If you have to save in Lumiose City, do so inside a building. Nintendo is working on a fix.

I need to get Glaceon and Slyveon to complete the set.

[jkid101094]

As i said it all depends on its movepool, with prankster your non attacking moves get +1 priority for example substitute and leech seed. If it has no good moves like encore a sleep inducing move etc then it will be rubbish

You act like those can't be useful.

[Hakudamashi]

You act like those can't be useful.

For people like me they aren't...

[Elija2]

Can I get 2?

Sure. I'll trade them for your Yveltal.

I accidentally leveled one of them because of EXP Share. Is that a problem?

[jkid101094]

For people like me they aren't...

So you've never put a Pokemon to sleep before catching it?

[Hakudamashi]

Sure. I'll trade them for your Yveltal.

I accidentally leveled one of them because of EXP Share. Is that a problem?

Can you get an Yveltal egg using Ditto?

Not at all.

So you've never put a Pokemon to sleep before catching it?

When my quickball fails, yeah, all the time.

I was more talking about actual online battles. If we're talking about the main quest, then yes, those moves are very useful.

[Elija2]

Can you get an Yveltal egg using Ditto?

Don't know or care. I was joking.

Although now you have to finish VLR this week to pay me back.

[NiGHTS]

You act like those can't be useful.

I said they were useful, must have just worded it badly or you misread. I use encore whimsicott all the time.

I also have a froakie for you wind. If you didn't get one

[Hakudamashi]

Don't know or care. I was joking.

Can't promise I'll beat it in a week =V

I also have a froakie for you wind. If you didn't get one

Yays.

[Elija2]

Can't promise I'll beat it in a week =V

Before the end of the month at least.

[Hakudamashi]

Before the end of the month at least.

Hhhmmmmmmmm
If I really have to betray Luna, that's gonna be tough...

[Elija2]

Hhhmmmmmmmm
If I really have to betray Luna, that's gonna be tough...

Man up.

If you don't I'm gonna name one of the Eevees "cock" and the other one "balls".

[Hakudamashi]

Gggggrrrrrr

You drive a hard bargain my good sir...

[Elija2]

Gggggrrrrrr

You drive a hard bargain my good sir...

Are you saying you want my cock and balls?

[Hakudamashi]

.......Yes.

[Elija2]

I've started breeding Chespin so if any of you guys want one then tough shit get your own.

[jkid101094]

I CAUGHT MY FIRST SHINY

[Hakudamashi]

A shiny what?

[jkid101094]

Sadly it's a Venipede but I'm still happy.

[Hakudamashi]

Well, I only have 2 shinies, a Gallade and a Sandslash.

[Elija2]

I caught my first shiny as well: a Vanillite. I spotted it in a horde battle so I was lucky to have been able to defeat all the other Vanillite and then weaken that one just enough to catch it.

[Hakudamashi]

I have a holiday today, anyone care to play PKMN with me?
Battle or trade?

[jkid101094]

Whenever anyone wants to play.

[NiGHTS]

Quick question, does anyone have access to togetic from the friend safari? I feel like we should have a thread for pokemon requests but idk if anyone would really need to use it much

[jkid101094]

I don't but you can just search it on GTS.

[Hakudamashi]

I has a Togetic... in Black 2... That PKMN Bank app can't happen fast enough >_>

Also, Jkid straight up just showed me why being stubborn is bad...

[jkid101094]

So who all has this game? I love battling you guys and I want to face you all.

[Elija2]

A holiday? Today's the perfect chance for you to finish up VLR.

And for me to give you those Eevees, I guess.

[Hakudamashi]

So like... I just got 2 Eevees via wonder trade...

So who all has this game? I love battling you guys and I want to face you all.

Just be wary of his Gogoat... It will eat your soul.

[Elija2]

I'll just hold onto my cock and balls then.

[jkid101094]

1. Go to Lumoise City's North Boulevard.
2. Find the Galette Stand.
3. Talk to the lady or at least go up to the stand (this isn't required but helps my explain where to go).
4. Go right and enter the first black building. It should literally be the first building you can enter.
5. There is an elevator. Go up to floor 2.

You can only do this once and I have no idea what the point of it is...no one does, apparently. All I know is that I'm apparently not the one.

[Elija2]

Go to Lumiose Station and interact with the back of the second timetable.

You mean the ghost chick?
What's up with that?

Where's "the usual place"?

[SmashFinale]

What's up with that?Where's "the usual place"?

After you come out of the Train Station, you should see 3 kids in a caged building just hanging out.
Tread carefully as there have been sightings of shadowlike creatures and what seems to be dancing grayish-white creaures around that area. Also, be on the lookout for a spiky haired teenager holding a giant key.

[Hakudamashi]

Someone's been playing too much Kingdom Hearts...

I request advice on team composition.
I'm thinking of swapping out my Lapras for a Blastoise
Lapras is part Ice, so it gets wrecked hard by rock, ground, and I believe fighting type moves. The reason I've clinged on to Lapras is because I want a tanky PKMN with ice moves.
So I was thinking I would instead teach a Blastoise Ice Beam to eliminate the Fighting, Rock and Ground weakness, but since Blastoise isn't an Ice type, Ice beam won't get STAB, and will be less effective.
Also, the Lapras is male and the Blastoise is female

The Lapras is lvl 76, and the Blastoise is lvl 38, so I can't really gauge their stats all that reliably.

Overall blastoise would be the stronger choice plus it does give you a rapid spinner should you be having trouble with stuff like spikes.

Heres the base stats for the pokemon;
http://www.smogon.com/bw/pokemon/blastoise
http://www.smogon.com/bw/pokemon/lapras

Lapras as you say is part ice which is probably one if the weakest types right now especially with the nerf to weather inducing pokemon and their 10001 weaknesses.

[Elija2]

I beat the game.

[Hakudamashi]

Now battle us.

[Elija2]

I'll battle you after you beat VLR.

Did any of you guys give a Pokemon to the lonely old man living in Anistar City? If you did, you should go back to visit him after beating the game.

[jkid101094]

Go to Lumiose Station and interact with the back of the second timetable.

Apparently this is a reference to a Japanese manga.

[Elija2]

I have Smeargle, Lillipup, and Loudred in my friend safari in case any of you dudes were interested (which you now aren't).

[jkid101094]

Smeargle with two perfect IVs? Don't mind if I do.

[Hakudamashi]

I have Smeargle, Lillipup, and Loudred in my friend safari in case any of you dudes were interested (which you now aren't).

You can check what's in your own Safari?

[jkid101094]

Someone probably told him.

[Hakudamashi]

Now I'm torn between putting either Charizard or Talonflame in my team...

[Elija2]

Does Talonflame have a Mega Evolution?

[Hakudamashi]

No...

[NiGHTS]

If you can get a talonflame with its hidden ability from the friend safari its actually a pretty good poke.
Its hidden ability gives flying moves priority, I mean, who doesn't want a pokemon whose brave bird always goes first?

[jkid101094]

Does Talonflame have a Mega Evolution?

No Gen 6 Pokemon got Megaevolutions.

I guess it's good for reassurance but mine is quick as all fuck anyway and can easily raise it's speed with Flame Charge if it somehow gets outsped. Flamebody is good for disabling other fast, psychical attackers like Greninja that might want to swap in.

[SmashFinale]

This post will make all the recent on the bottom of the forum only say Pokemon X and Pokemon Y.

[Hakudamashi]

Ok, what advice can you give about Charizard?

[TheGameNinja]

...do you think it's possible this is only half of the Gen. VI Pokedex? Like maybe there's 60 or so more that we won't see until Z or whatever's next.

[Hakudamashi]

Didn't Gen 2 also not have that many new PKMN?

And they better not, or I'm gonna get upset.

[jkid101094]

...do you think it's possible this is only half of the Gen. VI Pokedex? Like maybe there's 60 or so more that we won't see until Z or whatever's next.

I thought I already brought this up?There are apparently three new 'leaked' legendaries so we definitely haven't seen them all.

...it's kind of a wonderful feeling, isn't it? With no one able to hack the game it's like the age of Pokegods all over again~

[NiGHTS]

Ok, what advice can you give about Charizard?

I haven't really used charizard so I have no idea, that and I don't have the mega stone for it either sorry. Droughts a pretty handy ability for it to get though since you could teach it something like solarbeam to deal with water types that it would normally struggle against. (since solarbeam doesn't need a turn to charge in the sun)

[jkid101094]

The patch to fix the Lumiose save bug is now live. It'll even restore your save should you have been affected. Just log into the Eshop and you're golden.

[Elija2]

The game should have had an update option in the main menu like in Animal Crossing, I shouldn't have to go to the eShop to look for the patch.

[Hakudamashi]

And the patch apparently *fixed* GTS... How exactly?

[Elija2]

And the patch apparently *fixed* GTS... How exactly?

When trying to trade for a Pokemon that you haven't seen before you'd get an error and be forced to shut off the game.

[jkid101094]

I never got that but OK.

It literally shoved the download in my face the moment I booted the Eshop up.

[Elija2]

It didn't for me. Besides, the game is for kids and how often do kids visit the eShop? They didn't send out a notification for it (yet) so the only way someone would know about the update is if they read about it online.

[jkid101094]

I could be wrong but isn't there an app that alerts you about these things?

[Elija2]

I could be wrong but isn't there an app that alerts you about these things?

No, but Nintendo usually sends out notifications about this stuff through Spotpass. They've yet to do so for Pokemon though, which is weird since it's a pretty critical update.

[SmashFinale]

They probably did but Spotpass is slow as fuck.
You might get the message a few days from now or next year in February. It's pretty annoying.

[Elija2]

Another thing that sucks about the game is the Streetpass functionality, or lack thereof. All Streetpassing does in this game is give you Poke Miles which can easily be farmed without it by Wonder Trading. Streetpassing seems like it was made for Pokemon, but they totally botched it. Imagine Wonder Trading with people you Streetpass, or battling against their AI-controlled team, or putting them in your Passerby list so you can chat and trade with them properly. I've been getting more Streetpasses since Pokemon came out and almost everyone that I Streetpass with is playing it, but it's all wasted because it doesn't do anything. That's probably the biggest letdown of this game for me.

[Hakudamashi]

But as you said, this game was most likely rushed =/

Maybe if ppl didn't go soo ape-shit over delays...

[Elija2]

Or maybe if Game Freak knew what they were doing. Maybe if they started work on XY earlier instead of working on BW2 when the 3DS was already out. Maybe if they weren't working on Harmoknight at the same time. Maybe if they delayed the game for one more month to work on it more. Maybe if they spent their time on more important features instead of bench sitting and sky battles.

Oh well, there's always Pokemon Z next year.

[Hakudamashi]

I liked Harmoknight...

And does anyone care about Sky Battles? Seem like a waste of development time...

[jkid101094]

Sky battles are OK but nothing special.

[TheGameNinja]

They always hold things back for the third game.

[jkid101094]

Forms, yeah, but this would be the first time they held back actual Pokemon...at least it's give Z version exclusives to match Swirlix, Spritzee, Clauncher and Skrelp.

[Hakudamashi]

They always hold things back for the third game.

Except Black and White...

And I don't count Yellow...

[Elija2]

I haven't played this game since I beat the Elite Four. I have no motivation to catch 'em all.

[Hakudamashi]

Then battle me!

[Elija2]

Then battle me!

I would but you'd probably kick my ass. None of my Pokemon are over lv. 70 and I haven't bothed IV or EV training any of them. My team probably sucks.

[TheGameNinja]

Honestly, reading about how Breeding has been streamlined and how Super Training works have me interested in trying to put together a worthwhile team for once. I'll probably get on that after I beat the game.

[jkid101094]

I've been doing lots of things, one of which being shiny hunting. I caught a shiny Poliwhirl today while Chain Fishing and I think I might evolve it in to Poliwrath and save my King's Rock for Slowking.

[Hakudamashi]

And then trade me that Slowking for mah Pokedex.

I've been breeding, and trading these days. My Pokedex is filling up quite nicely. And it's easier than you'd think to train a worthwhile team.
The problem I have however is making smart decisions during battles like who to send out first, and "Should I use Fire Spin for continual damage? Or Fire Blast and hope it kills?".
And this online community has made me hate Paralysis with a firey passion @_@

[jkid101094]

The problem I have however is making smart decisions during battles like who to send out first, and "Should I use Fire Spin for continual damage? Or Fire Blast and hope it kills?".

That's an easy one. You should never use either. Fireblast misses too often and Fire Spin has so many better options, like Will O Wisp, for example.
