Pokemon X and Pokemon Y News Thread

[Alpha]

Any new known content about the upcoming Generation VI games, Pokemon X and Y versions, belongs here.

If you would like to make speculations, take it to the Speculation Thread.

[Alpha]

I'll just start us off on the new from Nintendo Direct.

http://www.nintendo.com/nintendo-direct/archive/01-08-2013/

Release: October 2013 Worldwide (All languages at once)

[Imari]

According to Official Nintendo Magazine the English names of the legendaries are Yveltal for the bird pokemon and Xerneas for the stag pokemon.

[Imari]

CoroCoro Magazine has reveiled the height and weight of the two legendaries.

Yveltal weighs 203 kg (which is about 446.6 lbs) and standing tall at 5.8 metres (about 19 foot).

But Xerneas is even heavier, weighing in at 215 kg (which is about 473 lbs) at a height of 3.0 metres (about 9 foot).

[Imari]

For those of you that don't want to dig their way through the entire speculation thread for just a few tidbits of (semi)official news, I'll try to sum it up here as I come across it.

Comfirmed by The Pokemon Company:

There's going to be a new Eeveelution. It's called Nymphia (or Ninfia) in Japanese.

The names in other languages are:

English: Sylveon

German: Feelinara

French: Nymphali

Spanish: Sylveon

Italian: Sylveon

At 1 m tall it weighs in at 23.5 kg, which makes the lightest Eevolution thus far.

It's type and ability are unknown at this time, as is it's method of evolution.

Extremespeed Genesect: Mewtwo Awakens Trailer (18th April 2013) shows a new pokemon(forme).

And it looks a hell of a lot like Mewtwo, supposedly in Eclair Forme.

In fact for the time being it is called 'Awakened Mewtwo".

This is wat The Pokemon Company has to say about it:

"The mysteries of Pokemon X and Pokemon Y continue to grow with the unveiling of a Pokémon that is strangely familiar! It looks a lot like the powerful Legendary Pokémon Mewtwo, but not quite the same...

"This new Pokemon shares many traits with Mewtwo, including a light-purple body and piercing, powerful eyes. It is suspected that the newly discovered Pokemon has some sort of connection with the Legendary Mewtwo."

And according to Corocoro magazine:

"Mewtwo has awakened and become its new shape."

Now what this means exactly is not sure (that's still up for speculation) but it's a new pokemon(forme) nonetheless.

New Pokemon

CoroCoro Magazine released information on 4 new pokemon. A goat, a lizard, a bird and a panda.

The Pokemon Company released the US names and basically confirmed everything.

The Pokemon are:

Japanese Name: Gogoat (literally Gohgohto)

English Name: Gogoat

German Name: Chevrumm

French Name: Chevroum

Spanish Name: Gogoat

Italian Name: Gogoat

Spanish Name: Fletchling

Italian Name: Fletchling

Height/Weight: 0.3m and 1.7kg

The Naughty Pokemon

It has a new move called Parting Remark. It lowers the opponents stats while causing the user to switch out

All the before mentioned German, French, Spanish and Italian names have, as far as I know, yet to be confirmed, but I thought I'd mention them anyway.

Japanese Name: Karos Region

English Name: Kalos

Japanese Name: Miare City

English Name: Lumiose City

The region appears to be based on France. The main city is where you can be seen riding Gogoat.

It is also confirmed that at certain points in the game you'll be able to get your trainer some new outfits and accessories.

Also, diagonal movement will now be possible.

And last, but not least, here's a pic of the boxart.

[codem8kr]

So, the new pokemon were revealed at E3 and some of them are meh (Skrelp and Clauncher)... but there is one that has caught my attention. Fletchling's evolution, Talonflame, looks like a complete baddass:

Talonflame - Fire/Flying

Other new Pokemon:

Vivillon - Bug/Flying

Noivern - Flying/Dragon

Clauncher - Water

Skrelp - Poison/Water

We also have Hoarde encounter, meaning that we can encounter a group of pokemon :

Sky Battles are confirmed (about time too):

Plus the Fairy type. Sigh. I do like though that they are super effective against Dragons. With this new Fairy type and only Gardevoir, Marill, Jigglypuff and Sylveon revealed as Fairies, it's entirely possible that the cuties with only one type could be revealed as Fairies too....Yes Clefairy and Snubbull, I do mean you two.

So what do we think so far...?

Edited June 12, 2013 by codem8kr
Added Types

[BlackShark]

Launch date will be 12th October 2013.

Also it was confirmed that you can choose the language in the games!

Seven Languages in One!

Choose which language to play your next Pokémon game in!

When you play Pokémon X and Pokémon Y, you'll be able to select from seven languages at the beginning of your adventure! In previous games in the main Pokémon series, you were limited to using just one language. Now you can play in English, Japanese, Korean, Spanish, French, German, or Italian! Note that once you select a language, you won't be able to change languages again during gameplay.

As for other information:

PSS (Player Search System) allows players to search for others either locally or globally (via Wi-Fi) to battle and trade.

PSS is split into Friends, Acquaintances and people you Pass By.

People you battle through Passby will be promoted to acquaintances. When interacting with acquaintances more than once you'll automatically be asked to become friends. It can hold up to 100 friends and syncs with the 3DS Friend List.

Trading remains pretty much the same as it was before.

There will be a new feature called Pokémon-amie which allows you to interact with your pokemon to help your bond grow stronger. This allows you to play with them and copy their actions. A high friendship level will help your pokemon to perform better during battle. However, when you treat your pokemn badly, it may react negatively towards you.

Horde Encounters are a new type of wild battle. 5 on 1 battle. May include pokemon of multiple species rather than just one.

There's still only one save file in the game. IVs and EVs will be more visible. There will be mulitple methods of transportation and different movement types in gyms. In different areas riding different pokemon will help. The pokemon used for this are borrowed. Before battle with a friend you can now select specific music tracks to play.

As for other information:

There are special O Powers which work alongside Pass Powers which you can use and receive from other players. You can activate these powers to help you on your adventures. Some O-Powers will temporarily increase a Pokemon's stats e.g. Attack Power Lv. 1 slightly raises the Attack of Pokemon currently not in battle, while others make it easier to catch wild Pokemon or increase the amount of Experience Point you gain in battle.

You can now take photos in certain locations called Photo Spots, which can be shared and posted on your homepage on the Pokemon Global Link. When taking the photos you can adjust a.o. shutter speed, brightness, angle and zoom.

Milestones in your journey can also be shared on the Pokemon Global Link, and can then be posted to social networks.

More is known about the features of the PSS. First there's the HoloCaster to give you the latest news on the Pokemon Global Link without having to access it. It is also used to to communicate with other characters throughout the game.

The PSS also features connectivity with the Global Trade Station where you can, ofcourse, search and trade Pokemon, but now you can also request Pokemon which you have not yet encountered yourself!

Wonder Trade allows you to trade a Pokemon with someone without knowing what you'll get in return.

You can now use a "Happy Sign" so you can tell everyone how you feel and what you've done in the game such as letting people know you've received your first Badge.

Similar to the C-Gear, players can send out a message to all nearby players and online friends, called a Shout-Out.

The online battle features also result in a loss if you disconnect.

Participants of the upcoming Global Showdown WiFi Competition will gain entry to XY Test Competition.

That is probably just some idiot trying to hack your PC.

That is probably just some idiot trying to hack your PC.

Looks to me like a scam to get personal information. The download contained a password protected rar with links to survey sites.

Anyway, 3DS Roms are useless for the time being as we have no emulators. (The Gateway 3DS will fix that, but there's no way the game will be leaked this early.)

Regardless, posting the links on this forum would be illegal.

[pokefan007]

Realized it is useless, we don't have 3DS emulator yet.

[aquaguy34]

I'm sure no one expected seeing this when waking up this morning

[BlackShark]

Speed Boost Torchic event from October 12th to January 15th! Nice

Now I definitly will buy those games!

I hope it'll be distributed over Wifi. The next GameStop didn't participate at any Nintendo events in the past and I don't think they will do in the future...

[Andibad]

is awesome , But i wondering only that pokemon get megaevolution? or another pokemon will get that ? if so i can't wait for megaeeveelotion (maybe is impossible) XP.

EDIT: is seems all pokekomn get their mega evolution, so i can't wait to see megaeeveelotion

Edited August 9, 2013 by Andibad

[Guested]

if this is a mewtwo megaevolution then they probably did it first since mewtwo should of looked stronger and better <_<

unless gamefreak were planning it to be a form but since many people complained they changed it last minute

I highly doubt everything you said.

[LEGOanimal22]

No! Not another Pikachu family member!(shoots self in head)

[theSLAYER]

No! Not another Pikachu family member!(shoots self in head)

Judging how it's Electric/Fairy type,

It's the Pikachu-per-gen Trend.

I: Pikachu/Raichu

II: Pichu

III: Plusle/Minun

IV: Pachirisu

V: Emolga.

Anyways~

I've read that those are formes, that only show in battle, and the requirement is to hold a "Mega stone".

Time to shiny hunt their pre-evo/normal formes!

EDIT:

Mega Ampharos is Electric/Dragon with Moldbreaker.

Sounds like a Zekrom clone...

[Guested]

I've read that those are formes, that only show in battle, and the requirement is to hold a "Mega stone".

They are LIKE forms, but they are not forms. And it sounds like holding their respective Mega stone (it's a category, it looks like each species that can do this has their own version of the stone) might not be the only thing that triggers this.

[theSLAYER]

They are LIKE forms, but they are not forms. And it sounds like holding their respective Mega stone (it's a category, it looks like each species that can do this has their own version of the stone) might not be the only thing that triggers this.

Speculative speaking, if we remove the "animation that shows it evolving", it is akin to formes, so you're right!

I'll certainly hope that there is more than one way to trigger.

Not everyone will get the Mega Stones (if they miss the event, or if its an item that cannot be traded).

I'm also worried that the item is consumed after evolution (hopefully it works like the griseous orb)

Official images:

Notice the colorful "DNA" symbol during MEGA evolution!

[WhatHappenedToStairs]

Confused where they mean base stats or EVs...

Also, one part of Guardian Signs became hilarious when you now look at it.

The whole Giant Crobat boss fight seems more plausible now.
