Z-Moves are 'super-attacks' that use a special bracelet for trainers. The Z-Ring fits on a your arm, and Z-Crystals are set into it. If a Pokémon holds the same type of Z-Crystal, they will be able to resonate with eachother. Crystals that correspond to each Pokémon type have been found in the Alola region.

News RoundUp (sorry for being very late, life sucks sometimes) CoroCoro Comic has revealed two new Pokémon Japanese Name: Nekkoara English Name: Komala German Name: Koalelu French Name: Dodoala Spanish Name: Komala Italian Name: Komala Type: Normal Ability: Comatose Height/Weight: 0.4m and 19.9kg The Drowsing Pokémon Comatose keeps it perpetually asleep, preventing it from being afflicted by any other status conditions Japanese Name: Iwanko English Name: Rockruff German Name: Wuffels French Name: Rocabot Spanish Name: Rockruff Italian Name: Rockruff Type: Rock Ability: Keen Eye or Vital Spirit Height/Weight: 0.5m and 9.2kg The Puppy Pokémon It can learn the move Bite It is capable of evolving at least once New info on known Pokémon: Japanese Name: Solgaleo English Name: Solgaleo German Name: Solgaleo French Name: Solgaleo Spanish Name: Solgaleo Italian Name: Solgaleo Type: Psychic/Steel Ability: Full Metal Body Height/Weight: 3.4m and 230.0kg The Sunne Pokémon Solgaleo has a minor alternate forme known as Rising Phase. In this phase it is described as being like the sun, more radiant and its colored accents all become yellow. It is seen in this phase duing the animation for its signature move Sunsteel Strike. Japanese Name: Lunaala English Name: Lunala German Name: Lunala French Name: Lunala Spanish Name: Lunala Italian Name: Lunala Type: Psychic/Ghost Ability: Shadow Shield Height/Weight: 4.0m and 120.0kg The Moone Pokémon Lunala has a minor alternate forme known as Full Moon Phase. In this phase it is said it calls the moon wtih its wings glowing white, highlighting its skeletal structure. It is seen in this phase during the animation for its signature move Moongeist Beam. Both Pokémon are said to be at full power during their specific phase. Japanese Name: Magearna English Name: Magearna German Name: Magearna French Name: Magearna Spanish Name: Magearna Italian Name: Magearna Type: Steel/Fairy Ability: Soul-Heart Height/Weight: 1.0m and 80.5kg The Artificial Pokémon It can learn the new move Fleur Cannon Other Info: A special Pokémon Ga-Olé disk (receivable at movie) will include a QR Code to obtain Magearna at level 50, with the Ability Soul Heart and the moves, Flash Cannon, Fleur Cannon, Helping Hand and Lucky Chant. It was previously confirmed that the Magearna distribution will also be by QR Code in Europe and North America later this year Besides the three formes of Zygarde there are Zygarde Core and Zygarde Cell. The latter two can't battle on their own, only together as the form one of Zygarde's Formes. Though there are many Zygarde Cells, there are only a few Zygarde Cores and although Zygarde Cores each have their own will, Zygarde Cells are lacking a will of their own. During the Taiwan National Championships, the first footage of Zygarde 10% Forme and Zygarde Complete Forme was shown. Both Zygarde 10% and Zygarde 50% can have either the Ability Aura Break or Power Construct. The Ability Power Construct allows Zygarde 10% Forme or 50% Forme to change into Complete Forme, and appears to activate when it is at low HP. It can learn the move Core Enforcer, which erases the Abilities of opponents that have already used a move that turn. Zygarde 50% Forme is able to learn Thousand Arrows, which already existed unused in the Gen VI code and that Zygarde 10% Forme has already been shown to use in Pokémon Sun and Moon.

Thnx for the roundup. I think I can add a little more. Solgaleo has the ability Full Metal Body, Lunala has Shadow Shield. Solgaleo knows the move Sunsteel Strike which ignores the opponent's ability, as does Lunala's Moongeist Beam. The Alola region's professor is called Kukui (Hawaiian for candlenut, the state tree of Hawaii). Japanese Name: Prof. Kukui English Name: Prof. Kukui German Name: Prof. Kukui French Name: Prof. Euphorbe Spanish Name: Prof. Kukui Italian Name: Prof. Kukui His assistant's name is Lillie.

For starters, the release date has been announced, it will be November 18th 2016 worldwide except Europe where fans will have to wait until November 23rd 2016 and China which apparently doesn't have a release date yet. All copies will be playable in nine languages: Japanese, English, German, Spanish, French, Italian, Korean, and Simplified and Traditional Chinese. The region will be called Alola and the starters will be Rowlet (Grass/Flying), Litten (Fire) and Popplio (Water).

More news to hopefully follow soon BTW if anyone could enlighten me on how to insert images without them also appearing below the post as attachments I'd be much obliged.

Apparently Nintendo has by now pointed out that the Pokemon games will not take the players back to any of the initial settings but should expect to see an entirely new world. That, along with CoroCoro magazine revealing Magearna, seems to suggest that Sun & Moon are to be Gen VII games. But I concur, nothing seems official as of yet.

I know it doesn't belong here but couldn't find where it does, so feel free to move it to a more appropriate location. Nintendo has announced 2 new Pokemon games which are scheduled for release around "Holiday 2016". They'll be called Sun and Moon. This was announced during Pokemon Direct on 26th February 2016. More news to, hopefully, follow soon.

Not yet confirmed, but a little birdie showed me that, in the Netherlands, GameMania will be giving away a level 50 Zoroark. Not sure if it's the same as SLY Zoroark given away in the UK from November 6th to 26th, 2015 at GAME Stores. Hope to be able to give more info soon.

New Characters: Gym Leaders: Japanese Name: Koruni English Name: Korrina German Name: Connie French Name: Cornélia Spanish Name: Corelia Italian Name: Ornella She is the gym leader of Shalour City where you can also find the Tower of Mastery which has a connection to the Mega Evolutions. Korrina holds to key to understanding Mega Evolutions. Other people: Japanese Name: Carnet English Name: Diantha German Name: Diantha French Name: Dianthéa Spanish Name: Dianta Italian Name: Diantha Diantha is an actress. She will help you change your hair and clothes, which will be reflected in the graphics. The Team Flare scientists: Japanese Name: Correa English Name: Celosia German Name: Calluna French Name: Cyane Spanish Name: Caléndula Italian Name: Cytisia The purple-haired woman Japanese Name: Akebi English Name: Aliana German Name: Aliana French Name: Ancolie Spanish Name: Amapola Italian Name: Akebia The orange-haired woman Japanese Name: Bara English Name: Bryony German Name: Begonia French Name: Brasénie Spanish Name: Begonia Italian Name: Bromelia The green-haired woman Japanese Name: Momiji English Name: Mable German Name: Magnolia French Name: Myosotis Spanish Name: Melia Italian Name: Martynia The blue-haired woman Japanese Name: Xerosicy English Name: Xerosic German Name: Xeros French Name: Xanthin Spanish Name: Xero Italian Name: Xante The only man in the group. Other information: For the first time in Pokemon there's something called Super Training (or S.T. for short). It gives the player the opportunity to help their pokemon grow stronger even when they's not battling. On the touchscreen players can 'SuperTrain' their Pokemon through activities that increase EV's (Effort Values). These EV's determine in which way a Pokemon grows stronger. e.g. a lot of HP EV's will significantly increase the Pokemon's HP stat. This can be achieved through, for the lack of a better word, mini-games. There's also something called Core Training, which lets players set up training bags, which first have to earned through Super Training, which can then be used by Pokemon in their party. In this scenario the Pokemon is pretty much training itself, with the trainer merely gigving pointers by tapping on the Touch Screen. The progress can be seen at any given time on the main Super Training screen. Pokemon Smash aired an example of the Super Training. It showed clarification of how the mini-game works, where you use the touch screen to fire balls into various parts of Magneton while avoiding large balls as your Pokemon sits on a platform. After completion, you will see a numerical value added to the stat, in this case +8 on Special Attack. An Effort-o-Meter (what's in a name) can now show how many EV's a Pokemon already has and how many more it can get. In Pokemon Amie, three stats are listed for your Pokemon. Friendliness, Play and Hunger. At this point it is not known if these features affect gameplay. The candy you obtain for Amie is called Pofure. Pokemon Centers now not only have a Pokemart, but you can also change your appearance. Choose from several preset styles or use your imagination to come up with your own combination of a hat, shoes and accessories. You can also change your hair and outfit at a Boutique and Salon with a little help from a famous actress called Diantha. At the Trainer PR Studio you can record 10 second Trainer PR videos of your character and your Pokemon, in which you can customize poses, expressions, camera angles and background music, among others. The videos can be shared through the Player Search System. It is intended that Pokemon Bank & Poke Transporter will prevent hacked Pokemon from being transferred and will work with multiple copies of the games. Pokemon Bank wil be released in Japan and Korea on December 25th 2013, Europe and Australia on December 27th 2013 and the release date for North America is as of yet unknown. The Global Link will also have a mobile friendly version this time. Preceding the opening of the Gen VI Global Link alongside the launch of Pokemon X & Y, a new feature is announced. You can earn PokeMiles in certain parts of the Global Link. PokeMiles can be used in the PokeMileage Club in the PGL to pay to play attractions and to buy items in the shop, which can be sent back to Pokemon X & Y. There is however another way to earn them. Your Dream Points wil be converted to PokeMiles and will be sent over to your & Y account it you register before January 14th 2014. Registering both games results in receiving the points in each game. e.g. If you get 500 PokeMiles for your Dream Points you'll get the 500 in X and another 500 in Y. The conversion is as follows: Between 10,000-49,999 Dream Points = You get 500 PokeMiles Between 50,000-99,999 Dream Points = You get 3,000 PokeMiles Between 100,000-199,999 Dream Points = You get 10,000 PokeMiles And more than 200,000 Dream Points = You get 25,000 PokeMiles The conversion is calculated by cummulating the Dream Points from all the games on your account. So if you have all 4 Gen V games, the number of Dream Points you have exists of the Dream Points of all your games combined. Also special medals are announced that are unlocked in the PGL if you also had Generation V game(s). Medal for certain ammount of Dream Points: 50,000, 100,000 or 200,000 Medal for amount of purchased homes: 1, 4 or 8 Medal for purchased items: 1, 25 or 50 items purchased Medal for purchased Pokemon Dolls: 1, 50 or 100 dolls purchased Medal for ranking in the top 100 in any GBU Season (except Season 10) Medal based on how many times you have ranked highly in WiFi Competitions It's been confirmed that the game will not receive post-release patches to adjust components of the game for rebalance. Events: The first event for Pokemon X/Y has already been announced. A Torchic will be distributed from October 12th 2013 to January 15th 2014. It will hold a new item called Blazikenite and has the hidden ability Speed Boost. The Blazikenite will enable it to evolve in MegaBlaziken. Have fun playing the game(s)!!!

Some more known moves: Fennekin Psybeam, Flame Charge, Fire Spin, Tail Whip Helioptile Tail Whip, Thundershock, Quick Attack, Parabolic Charge Sylveon Swift, Quick Attack, Fairy Wind, Tail Whip Froakie Water Pulse, Quick Attack, Lick, Round. The Fairy type is superaffective to Dark, Dragon and Fighting while it doesn't effect Poison, Fire or Steel. It is weak to Steel and Poison, resists Fighting Bug, and Dark and is immune to Dragon. Ghost-types are no longer afected by moves that prevent fleeing from battle e.g. Mean Look. Grass Pokemon can't be seeded and won't be affected by moves like SleepPowder or Stun Spore. Electric-types can no onger be paralysed. Steel has lost its resistance to Dark and Ghost. It is now confirmed that Marill can use a new Fairy-type move called Child's Play (or maybe Play Around), which does some pretty decent damage. Pokémon will gain EXP when a Pokémon is captured. As previously mentioned, there now are Mega-evolutions. Ones that are known thus far: MegaBlaziken has the ability Speed Boost (uses Blazikenite to 'evolve') MegaAbsol has the ability Magic Bounce and has raised Attack and Speed MegaLucario has the ability Adaptability (uses Lucarionite to 'evolve') and has raised Attack stat MegaAmpharos-> Electric/Dragon-type and has the ability Mold Breaker MegaMawile->Steel/Fairy-type, as is normal Mawile and has the ability Huge Power and has raised Defense and Special Defense stats MegaKangaskhan has the ability Parental Bond which allows an attack to hit twice in one turn.

It's called Mega Mewtwo X. It is Psychic/Fighting-type and has the ability Steadfast. It has an increased Attack Stat. The Mega Mewtwo we've seen thus far is Mega Mewtwo Y and it's exclusive to Pokemon Y. It has the ability Insomnia. They use the items Mewtwonite X & Mewtwonite Y to Mega Evolve. It appears Mega Mewtwo don't have increased Hit Points. Also there will be an alternate Mega Evolution of Charizard. It's exclusive to Pokemon X and is called Mega Charizard X. It is Fire/Dragon-type and has the new ability Tough Claws, which increases the power of Physical contact attacks. It also has an increased Attack stat. You can have only ONE Mega Evolution Pokemon in battle. Not sure whether this means the entire battle of your team. The Mega Evolution will return to normal after battle has ended. Not every Pokemon will have a Mega Evolution but those that do can only Mega Evolve while holding their specific Mega Stone, which aren't always found in normal gameplay. The method of Mega Evolution is through a simple button in the attack interface (provinding that your Pokemon has it's Mega Stone attached to it). You will need to obtain a bracelet (Mega Ring) that holds a mysterious stone (Key Stone). The Trainer’s Key Stone resonates with the Mega Stone held by his or her Pokemon. It has been stated that no Kalos Pokémon will have a Mega Evolution within Pokémon X & Y. Since I'm not allowed to use more than 10 attachments per post I'll have to split it up. Continues into next post.
