I think he meant all the past Pokemon games, not just X and Y.

I don't think they'd be able to put some of them on the eShop. How would we connect a PokeWalker to our 3DS?

I decided that my final guess for the starter types I'll stick with until they're announced is Chespin-Grass/fighting, Fennekin-Mono fire, and Froakie-water/poison. Grass/fighting only has been used once before, water poison technically twice with the same evo line, and only one mono fire type. They all make sense based on their first form appearences, and they don't conflict with the grass-fire-water balance.

Mensrea · 01-14-2013, 05:05 PM

I feel like I'm the only one who likes the X legendary more. He seems way cooler...

My guess for fire starter is fire/psychic xD

N3DS ROCKS · 01-14-2013, 05:21 PM

I like both legendarys x and y but since im only getting one version im gonna go with y I don't know why but the y legendary just seems more appealing to me than x but yeah both are pretty awesome and I hope to get the other through trade

I like the X too. Yveltal looks pretty cool, but I always choose the blue legendaries (except for Dialga because I wanted a water dragon, Palkia). Xerneas looks wicked tho (wicked as in sick as in awesome)

Once again, don't like it, don't play it. Simply move along till one that catches your eye comes along.

N3DS ROCKS · 01-14-2013, 06:59 PM

well im excited ever since the anouncement I can't stop searching stuff about pokemon and I came across this video on youtube take a look Im pretty sure many people on the forum has probably already seen it but this post is for the people who did't lolGengar Style (Gangnam Style Pokemon Parody) - YouTube

LucaTuricci · 01-14-2013, 07:48 PM

Don't forget that you're no longer the target for Pokemon. It's made for kids. Maybe Kids that will be playing their second or third Pokemon game.

I really like what I have seen so far, to be honest I've been waiting for a 3D pokemon since the Nintendo Direct when they announced Black/White 2, and besides, seeing old pokemon rendered in 3D is what makes me want to buy THIS game.

I choose Fennekin as my starter because it reminds me of Amaterasu from Okami, but I'm sure I'll get all three of them eventually

Poison is resistant to fighting, so it does kind of conflict with the balance.

ResidentSteve · 01-14-2013, 09:25 PM

Nintendo have put out the official artwork and screens for the starter 'Mons, as well as confirming types:

Clicky for artwork and screens!

Suffice to say the artwork is nice and in that typical Pok?mon style, whilst the starters are typically Grass, Water, Fire.

1. Poison resists fighting. So it's not completely balanced.
2. No the grass, fighting combo has not been used once. Breloom and Virizion say hi. That's 2 tmes.
3.Water/poison, The same evo line? Tentacool and tentacruel? I don't recall Qwilfish to be in the same evo. family. XD Funny how it always is the forgotten pokemon.
4. A lot of pokemon are pure fire types.

Zeuzio · 01-15-2013, 02:12 AM

I think yuoke means that there's only been one mono-fire starter, as opposed to three mono-grass and mono-water starters. I'm not going to make any predictions about the starters' types because I don't want to be disappointed. :x

That official art for Yveltal and Xerneas is pretty slick!

Okay, I did forget about quilfish, and didn't think about poison resisting fighting (mostly because I never used a pure poison type before), but I don't really count legendaries into it. And there are a lot of pure fire types, but only one starter. My logic is a little flawed...but then again so is anyone's that says dark/psychic/fighting, considering psychic is completely ineffective to dark.

And Yvetlal's artwork is cool, but xerneas does way more for itself. In the original trailer animation, it just looked way weirder and not that good, but the artwork just makes it look...well, way, way better.

Fennekin is clearly based on a Fennec Fox while I'm pretty sure Cyndaquil is based on an Echidna.

It's a nice theory but it doesn't really work.

sonic the frog · 01-16-2013, 02:56 AM

This is a copy and paste but:
Charizard’s design is based on a Dragon.

Cyndaquil is a “Fire Mouse Pokemon”. Rats and Mice are in the same genetic subfamily.

Torchic is a “Chick Pokemon”.

Chimchar is a “Chimp Pokemon.” Chimps and Monkeys are both simians, and Chimchar’s evolutionary line physically resembles Monkeys rather than Apes.

Tepig is a “Fire Pig Pokemon”.

Fennekin’s design is based on a Fennec fox, which is in the same genetic family as dogs.

They will get a variety of what the wanted and what they didn't know about.

I am surprised it actually showed results like it did. You know, with just 1 X.

Although they are both canines, would you go up to somebody and say that your golden retriever is the best fox ever?
No, because it's not one, and incidentally, if you have done that before, it's quite likely people think you're crazy.

ADSLoverNamedGoo · 01-17-2013, 03:16 PM

I can't answer the poll yet, I want to know what they will become first, but I will most likely pick Froakie as I tend to go water....

MisterKorman · 01-17-2013, 11:35 PM

GameStop has begun taking preorders! I know it's a bit hasty, but I think I should go preorder Pokeon Y. Yveltel is so cool. Xerneas isn't so bad either, but it doesn't exactly look legendary enough to be a Legendary mascot.

Futureshop in Canada has Pokemon X + Y listed at $34.99

It is pretty much guaranteed they will be $39.99 so I will pre-order now to receive $5 off. I can always cancel if there are pre-order bonuses elsewhere. I think I will get both of them this time.

I've always pre-ordered from EB, does Future Shop actually honor what you paid if the game price happens to go up?? (also from Canada so that would be awesome if true)

Would it count as "tiding you over" if you're doing it by playing the same game you're going to get?

cannavaro · 01-18-2013, 04:10 PM

My predictions:

Grass starter: Grass/Rock starting at first evo. Stat-wise allrounder.
Fire starter: Fire/Psychic starting at first evo. Stat-wise high SPA.
Water starter: Water/Poison, starting at first evo. Bulky water.

Stupid looking legendary: Psy/Steel, allrounder.
Bird legendary: Dark/Flying, high att, high speed.

I think the only way to balance this(as in not giving Froakie a raging advantage over the other two) would be to make Chespin Grass/Ground instead. Now everyone has an advantage and weakness to everybody! We've already had a Grass/Ground starter, though, is the problem. So really, I just hope Froakie is not Water/Poison because as someone who is picking Chespin, that's just messed up.

EDIT: Okay, I guess that setup wouldn't be totally fair since Ground is resistant to poison as well, but...Froakie's bound to be able to learn an ice type move or two soooo...

Lazerith · 01-18-2013, 08:56 PM

Based on the moves that the starters use in the trailer, the types might be:

Chespin = Grass/Dark
Fennekin = Fire/Psychic
Froakie = Water/Fighting

That would make it completely balanced.

Except for psychic being completely ineffective against dark, making it not completely balanced...which every single person that guess this type circle seems to forget.

Jex · 01-18-2013, 11:05 PM

a lot of ppl are thinking Fennekin will be fire/psychic. I think it could possibly be fire/dark. froakie looks water/psychic becuz in his pose his hand is on his head like a mental focus thing. I could see chespin being fighting/grass

Dark is immune to psychic XD. However, it's true that fire can take it out if it had a grass dual typing XD

However, If fennekin were to be fire/Psychic, it would still have a type advantage... Then again Chespin would have an advantage too because of the dark typing if it will have it.

Yuoke · 01-19-2013, 12:28 AM

I was thinking about the argument against why froakie won't be part poison with the whole advantage over grass thing. In gen 4 this happened with empoleon and Infernape, obiously the water being netreuled out with fighting its steel. Although poison also seems like it would be a type that would start likely from the first evolution, but I wouldn't rule it out.

I was gonna post something similar and wanted to completely reverse the type advantages.

Your suggestion would lead to a situation where every starter has 2x damage STAB against both other starters

I tried to reverse them all while the grass starter takes neutral from fire, while having 2x dmg against fire. fire neutral from water with 2x dmg against water, water neutral from grass with 2x dmg against grass.
But I don't think it's possible, but maybe I missed a combination.

Minato Namikaze · 01-19-2013, 08:49 AM

I am thinking Froakie is Water/Ice, which I honestly would prefer since Ice is my favourite type. Not only did they show him using an ice move in the trailer (Which most water Pokemon can use some) but the white stuff on his neck which some people think are clouds looks like it can be snow to me.

While it could be a possibility, part ice would make it lose its advantage over water.

Part Icetype = No resistance over fire. Water/Ice combo is one of the crappiest dual combo to date. As it doesn't add any advantages but rather disadvantages. It adds 2 weaknesses (Fighting which is common as hell, and Rock)and adds no resistance whatsoever. In fact, it removes a few of them.

Jasper · 01-19-2013, 03:55 PM

Just read on Serebii the three starters will be pure fire, water and grass types, as always except for Bulbasaur.

Just came here to jump on the hype train!

Normally I always pick water types, but Chespin looks super awesome. I'm going to name him "Cheesespin" because that's what I thought his name was when I first looked at it.

OMG I can't wait. Why can't it just be out now??

..........if they keep it that way then the trend for all Pure Grass Type Continues. Pure Water- (Electric and Grass).Pure Fire-(Ground Rock Water).Pure Grass-(Ice Flyin Fire Poison Bug)....Personally only type cast as a secondary that make a grass type good is grass/steel that doesnt really put starter triangle outa sync and one can only hope that fennekin's last evo doesnt add on any weaknesses as for froakie..Water/Ground my best bet since frogs amphibious

P.S- A DAMN GRASS/STEEL TYPE THAT GOOD LIKE FERROTHORN...then for once... -_- starters can actually make good battlers on the competitive scene for once...

Oh no, it fits actually. But what makes it a bit useless is the fact that for an ability slot, you 'regain' the resistances you lost when you were a pure water type. In this case, I rather be a pure water type and use another useful ability.

To be honest, there are very few water/ice type that are useful. Cloyster is increadibly useful due to it's high defense and it's ability Skill link and Lapras... somewhat.

You would have to see what each game offers exclusively. Serebii is a good website to see all the version exclusives.

I usually pick the more blue versions of the games like Sapphire, blue version, and leaf green.

Dukie · 01-21-2013, 12:24 AM

Mostly exclusive Pokemon between the two, but I usually just get both (all) versions.

Depends on exclusives. Normally that just means pokemon, but sometimes there are other features exclusive to the games as well(For instance, Black 2 has a "hard difficulty", while White 2 has "easy").

Minato Namikaze · 01-21-2013, 12:32 AM

I usually base it off of the Legendaries, but I think I am going to get both this time.

Yuoke · 01-21-2013, 12:57 AM

Always have went off exclusives, except black and white because I knew nothing about a single pokemon in the game, so I just went off of legendary and black city.

Which version do you think has the cooler name? add 1 point to whichever one

Which version do you think has the cooler color scheme? add 1 point to whichever one

Which version do you think has better non-legendary exclusives? add 1 point to whichever one

Which version has your preferred mascot Pokemon? add 1 point to whichever one

Which version do you think has better exclusive areas? add 1 point to whichever one

Which version is owned by more of your friends whom you see more often? subtract 1 point from whichever one

With X and Y at the moment, we only have # 1, 2, and 4 to go off of at the moment.

I like the name of X version better, but I like the color scheme and mascot of Y version better. So far, Y version wins. Also, since my girlfriend is getting X version because she likes Xerneas, there's no sense for me to get X.

We will see when version exclusives are announced.

Due to the global release, we very well might sit in the dark about those information before release.
Every game so far, the internet had all the infos before overseas release due to japanese version releasing much earlier than the rest of the world.

Global release = best thing about X & Y imo.

I'm sure that strategy guides will be leaked online before the release. Also, I'm thinking that, while we'll all get it around the same time, Japan will get the game a few days earlier like always, meaning that the strategy guides will be on Bulbapedia by the time the games release.

sonic the frog · 01-22-2013, 03:30 AM

U make it sound like it's easy to make a strategy guide. Lemme tell you. Getting info on all areas, new pokemon, updated info on all pokemon, items, characters, (Do I even need to continue?) takes way more time
If it's released on the same day, then Japan will get it before everyone in a mere few hours of difference (12h or so before in america) because of the timezone differences. Even even then, you cannot make a strategy guide under 12h, there's too much info for that.

blu · 01-22-2013, 04:37 AM

haha, didn't realize they gave this game an official sub board.

I think I might get the strategy guide for this game, if its not too pricey. Its been awhile since I've bought one for a game (one of the last ones I've obtained came free),so I might start again with this game since its so fresh.

Fullmetalz · 01-22-2013, 04:57 AM

You do realize there exist strategy guides besides for free on the internet?
Those hardcover, officially licensed by nintendo strategy books that release on the same day as the games.
Guess where they get their infos?

Technically, the cartridges for Black, White, Black 2, and White 2 are super-dark red.

I'm impressed that they finally evolved the visuals and game feel. Although, what choice did they have? There would be no excuse for not doing so when the game is on the 3DS, except pure laziness.

ADSLoverNamedGoo · 01-23-2013, 02:26 PM

I'm really interested in which 3DS features they will use to add to the experience of the game. It would make sense if they follow KI:U with the AR cards, given how successful Pokemon Trading Cards have been, though I hope they present a more interactive experience. If they do not take advantage of Street Passing well, I will be thoroughly disappointed.

I did it when someone said it on the forums and it came up with a Gamestop page with the actual trailers etc.
But since more people have searched it since then, the top results have changed to XXX stuff.
It's not Nintendo's fault, it's the sick people that make the stuff -_-

There's naughty stuff for every franchise. It's the letter 'x' that most of it is associated with. That's why 'x' is sort of a taboo word to search for on the internet. The only real way to stop the inappropriate results is to use safe search mode.

No, that's not what she meant. Safe Search is supposed to prevent sites like Xvideos from showing up in the results. If you saw Xvideos with Safe Search on, it isn't working.

acetrainerbob · 01-25-2013, 11:56 PM

Lol, safe search doesn't really do anything. It is worse than most of the blocking programs being used at schools.

Back on topic, Pokemon X and Y looks amazing. I'm not sure who will be my starter, but I have a feeling it will be Froakie.

I hope Nintendo comes out with an official "sprite-sheet" for the 6th gen Pokemon. I know there arent sprites anymore, but I mean a list with pictures of all the Pokemon. Because it will looks sh!t if someone tried to Photoshop together all the 3D models, so I hope Nintendo gets an artist to draw them all for us.

banjo3dsie · 01-28-2013, 01:25 AM

All I ask Game Freak, is that there is an easier way to get into the metagame.

Maybe a multiplayer mode that is COMPLETELY OPTION AND DOESN'T EFFECT THE REAL METAGAME where all Pokemon get Max EV stats and levels? Still have to get the moves, evolutions, abilities, etc... but now the metagame is easier to get into and still there for the people that are willing to put the work in.

not-so-shy-guy · 01-28-2013, 01:32 AM

I'm glad they had "easy" mode and "challenge" mode in BW2, but I hated the fact that you could only unlock them after you beat the game. I'm hoping XY has the option right off the bat.

MisterKorman · 01-29-2013, 06:27 PM

I'd like to see something like Unova link come back for these games. They could make it so that if you catch every Pokemon in your respective version, you can switch to the exclusives in the opposite version.

Same. The actual in game difficulty is too easy these days, I wish they had higher difficulty modes from the start.

Yuoke · 01-30-2013, 10:53 PM

The difficulty in the games has nothing to do with making the games more accesible with stuff like reusable tm's, auto repel, etc. All it would do would make gym leader pokemon slightly more challening.

Yeah, but that's all I really care about anyway, haha. I feel like the Gym matches are my favorite part of these games; and I love when they're challenging. The fifth generation's gyms were really disappointing in terms of difficulty, in my opinion.

Hoping to finally see a Dark type gym this generation.

Miahruh · 02-01-2013, 05:46 PM

I was wondering what is going to be in the new pokemon game. From past experience, we can tell that there is going to be around 100 new pokemons, new items, pokeballs, gyms etc. I thought of a pokeball which would be quite cool. Imagine that there are new pokeballs, one for each status problem. So a para ball, toxic ball, flame ball, frozen ball , doze ball, confuse ball etc. So the pokemon is easier to catch when they have a status problem. It's just an idea though but what do you think of it? It would be crazy if it was in the new game right? Forgive me for the rubbish names given to the pokeballs.

1: wouldn't this go in the official thread?
2: it's already easier to catch pokemon when they have a status problem but new balls would be cool
3: in addition to the previous point, I think that's too many balls. I think there's enough now and more new balls would mean more spending.

I think there needs to be a better ball than ultra/timer balls but still not perfect like master ball. like maybe a ball that automatically catches the pokemon after 6 throws or something

That would completely defeat the purpose and break the game then, if it was a ball that you could buy or get unlimited amount of in some way.

If you enjoyed Pokemon Black Version, Black Version 2 might be one of your favorite versions. It improves everything that the last one had (except for story, which is more expanded than improved).

There isn't going to be a light type, ever. They originanlly only made dark and steel because psychic was brutally overpowered in gen 1 and unbalanced types over all. Plus fighting is the "light" type, or good type, because dark type means evil in japan. Adding a new type now would just destroy the metagame and be pointless.

It appears that there won't be anymore XY info in this corocoro, the rest is all anime and TCG related. So another month until new stuff, unless there's anything extra on smash

I like Ninfia, it's cute. I just really hope it is not Normal-type like Eevee, because that would be a bit underwhelming. I'm hoping it's Flying based on it's very ribbon-like accessory part... thingies.

I've never heard of a flying wingless fairy... much less such a thing being called a nymph.

I still don't understand why it's completely out of the question. Why else would CoroCoro have kept its typing a secret, while giving other information like its weight and height? The generation's legendaries even have a very "light-dark" (X being light, and Y being dark) feel to them - more than any other pair so far. Even the artwork, even though I know I'm pushing it, makes it seem as though Ninfia is shimmering, or sparkling, amongst the other Eevee evolutions. And maybe it's not necessarily "light" type, just a new type in general. Why else would it be the first Pokemon despite the starters to showcase? And I'm sure it wouldn't affect the metagame too terribly. I mean, nothing could be worse than the switch of physical and special moves from Gen 3 to Gen 4; and we all seem to have gotten past that.

I'm not saying anything's definite, just don't rule out the possibility. It could very well be flying-type. Ninfia could be derived from "nimbus," or cloud. It does have a very cloud-like feel to it.

logitech · 02-12-2013, 10:31 PM

I honestly don't want a new type to be introduced. Not sure what exactly would constitute a "light" type anyway.

**Kinvara** · 02-12-2013, 10:44 PM

I've grown to hate the light type since it is such an uninspired idea that I've heard thousands of times before by fans (like "Pokemon MMO" and "Pokemon Rainbow").

BCCouches · 02-12-2013, 11:37 PM

I highly doubt it's a new type, actually I'm pretty sure it's not. They're probably keeping it a secret because they want fans to guess or have suspense on what it is. A "Light-Type" is the most overrated Pokemon desire, I swear...

SapphireKirby · 02-12-2013, 11:39 PM

A light type is as overrated as the desire for a Pokemon game containing all regions

Riku · 02-13-2013, 02:07 AM

I wouldn't mind a light type if they brought out another type as well. Or if they totally revamped the type system. I mean people say "fighting is basically light" or whatever. But what if they totally revamped things to adapt to a new type or two? I know most people would hate them to totally change up the system but I'd really like the series to evolve beyond "here's a few new Pokemon, a few new moves, and a new region". I don't want them to completely revamp the gameplay to the point that it isn't a Pokemon game anymore. But revamping the type system or anything else so that even the most hardcore Pokemon fans will have to take time to get used to the changes would be kinda nice honestly. Because most Pokemon fans know the strategy behind everything as soon as they start each game. Having the game change up some things that people thought they knew well would be a welcome change. At least to me.

There's really no room for any new type because first, there's no way they would retcon like a third of the already existing pokemon to be a new type like they did with magnemite gen 2. And what be the point of adding a new type like light for just a handful of gen 6 pokemon? And if anything, bird type would be the only logical one considering it was originally going to be

NoelX2 · 02-13-2013, 02:58 AM

Light type is a bad idea. BAD.

Smeaxy · 02-13-2013, 04:32 AM

If they were going to make a light type I think they would have made it with Reshiriam. I think light type is better left nonexistent .

NoelX2 · 02-13-2013, 04:53 AM

I've always thought the Dark type was the "dirty fighter," because it is weak to Fighting, being a type full of honor.

I don't see how Light can be put in the game. I guess the only moves it could have are "Eye Burner" or "Eye Burner Xtreme" or something.

Light Type would have been Ho-Oh to begin with... (When he showed up *as shiny gold and the rainbow shines* in Pokemon Season 1 first episode.)

Or Arceus being one.

Infact, I would bet in Ice and Psychic type.

Just now a new official trailer has been released for this new Pok?mon.
Pok?mon X and Pok?mon Y: A New Pok?mon Has Been Revealed! - YouTube
Its official English name is Sylveon, but its type is still unknown.

Unless gamefreak is trolling, we're getting a second eeveelution.

Originally the logo was all those characters except the pink and orange, but with a pink now, now knowing that represents sylveon. So it seems as if the orange is representing another.

F.Scofield · 02-17-2013, 06:55 PM

sonic260 · 02-18-2013, 02:03 PM

What advantage would there be in having a Light type at all besides having an extra type that may or may not be necessary? As been stated numerous times in this tread, the reason Dark exists at all was to counter Psychic and Ghost Pokemon.

From what I can tell, a lot of people want a new type for the sake of having something new added to the game. I honestly don't care if a new type is added or not, because I'm confident that the developers are capable of adding a new type without "completely ruining the metagame." And I'm also fine with the way typing is now. If you guys want, you can make a thread specifically about the possibilities/speculation of what a new type could do to the game (type advantage, type disadvantage, completely ruining the game, whatever). I'm interested to see what you guys can come up with.

What I think would be interesting is an introduction of dual type attacks. For example, an attack that can deal water and ice damage. These attacks will be banned from play by smogon.

MisterKorman · 02-18-2013, 03:58 PM

I like to think of it like this:
If there's a Light Type, that's pretty awesome! If there isn't, why regret something that never happened?

Dual type attacks would create too many weaknesses.

Water/ice from a water/ice pokemon vs. a rock/ground pokemon = 18x dmg, assuming it gets dual STAB and triple weaknesses.

edit: Ghost/dark attack from ghost/dark pokemon vs. psychic/ghost(there will be one!

) = 36x dmg

My mouth waters at the thought.

According to a report, aka fan Rumors. Light and sound aren't happening, and the clearly aren't going to just use soemething even admitted to being a rumor.

I can't believe that picture is being taken seriously. I thought it was an internet meme.

... I'd be okay with that. I don't know why there's so much hate towards the thought of new types. I say the more variety, the better.

I've seen a lot of cool fan-made Pokemon ("Fakemon") that humor these rumored types, and I'd think they'd work really well if Gamefreak decided to implement them.

Examples:

Rock/Sound

DeviantArt: Dark-absol-King

Dark/Light

Bug/Light

Deviant Art: RizzoArtPage

Yuoke · 02-22-2013, 11:36 AM

The hate comes from the fact That there is no need for new types because it would ruin the Balance that dark and steel brought gen 2, and light And sound make zero sense.

Alta?r Ibn La' Ahad · 03-01-2013, 06:38 PM

Pokemon is perfect as it is. We don't need new types to make it a better game. .-.

MisterKorman · 03-01-2013, 06:47 PM

In case anyone here hasn't heard already, the first major details of Pokemon X & Y are going to be revealed in the all new European Pokemon magazine. Isn't that exciting?

There are new mechanics introduced in every generation that change the metagame: new pokemon, new moves, new hold items, weather, abilities, breeding, IV and EV... The only problem I can see arising for new types is having to memorize its effectiveness and weakness against the 16 other types. That's it. It wouldn't ruin anything, just expand upon an already functioning system.

And how does sound make zero sense? There are already a handful of Pokemon that represent sound-like qualities; just like a handful have light-like qualities.

Adding new types will give the developers more variety in both the metagame, and formulating new Pokemon designs.

The first issue will be out in Europe on March 20.

Yuoke · 03-01-2013, 10:24 PM

That's very odd and suspicous that the first major info will come in a european magazine instead of corocoro.

Exaxtly what types would light be weak and strong too. Dark is the only one that it even comes close to corresponding to.

Weak to Dark and strong against Ghost. It would be neutral on everything else

That's what I think anyway

not-so-shy-guy · 03-01-2013, 10:41 PM

Super Effective against: Dark, Ghost
Not Very Effective against: Grass, Steel
Resistant to: Fighting
Weak to: Dark, Grass
Immune to: Psychic
