lol I like how you skipped out on this

No, I didn't skip out on that. Read my earlier post.

REJOICE POKEMON FANS!! WE CAN FINALLY CUSTOMIZE OUR CHARACTER!!!!

Although it looks too soon to tell to me it loos limited. Like it has a preset of a few different feature types like some games. Like type 1:blonde pale skin, type 2: white skin brown hair type 3:tan skin black hair. Im hoping this pic is an example and we can change our skin color/hair color more in depth. Sadly there no no mention of customizable clothes.

From the looks of it, you get 3 preset characters for each gender.

Is that a leaf in its mouth or a green tongue?

It's a leaf.

[Mist]

wopps didnt see that.

for now they can be preset but im hoping otherwise because if nindo thinks preset looks are customization. Then they better look up the definition.

Im really hoping that blonde NPC is NOT the rival. Ive wanted a serious female rival for a long time. We only had 1 and that is May if you were a boy. Sure there is Bianca but nobody including game freak took bianca seriously. Cheren was the true rival. I want a serious female rival regardless of the gender you choose to play as.

The new region looks like its using Sinnoh antics by covering up areas with clouds. Possibly u lockable areas?

I like the box arts as well if you can spot them

To be fair, just because there are preset option at the beginning of the game does not mean there wont be customization. Maybe you could buy new clothes later in the game? This is unlikely though.

Preset or not, this is a step in the right direction.

We haven't had a serious rival since Gen II, and even that is pushing it. From RSE onward it felt like our "rivals" were just friendly, leisurely competition that we occasionally ran into on our journeys. Even Cheren didn't really feel like a rival.

WHAT THE HELL IS THIS?

im trying to find pokemon smash show stuff but i cant. I dont care if the rumored type is true or not.

Ice is my favorite type and I will NOT TOLERATE any new weaknesses to that type unless they get rid of some weaknesses. Ice is weak to enough and I dont appreciate nintendo just slapping on another weakness like "oh ice has a lot of weaknesses. give it another since it wont matter."

I dont fully understand what it means it lacks the poison immunity yet implying it isnt steel. im so confused. all I know is that i dont want a new type that adds another weakness to ice. after the new type rumors.

*continues to grumble and rant about ice having a new weakness possibility*

[Frieza]

This is strange. To my knowledge there has been no mention of a new type in recent Pokemon Smashes, and the latest one hasn't aired yet. How do they know that?

Ice is one of the most commonly used offensive types in the game. There are a lot of Pokemon who have a weakness or double weakness to ice, and you also should remember that ice is the best weapon against dragons, which run rampant in almost all tiers. Like the steel and dark types, Game Freak probably added this new type for balancing issues.

And ice is already one of the worst defensive type in the game, so not too much ha changed in that department.

And don't blame Nintendo for "slapping on another weakness". They have nothing to do with things like that.

I actually think this new type is a positive change. Why? Because it's weak to poison. Poison is by far the worst type in the game, and has been severely under powered with only one offensive strength with grass and five offensive weaknesses, one of which is completely unaffected by poison moves. It's really only used as support with moves like Toxic and Toxic Spikes, and even then you dont need a poison type to use those moves.

Poison needs to be put back on the chart, since it's really fallen into obscurity.

English update for Pokemon X and Y was released. New screenshots to boot.

pokebeach.com/2013/05/pokemon-x-y-website-updates-with-engllsh-localizations

It looks like some of that insider information held true. He was right on with the english names.

Look at the 5th screenshot picture in the first row, and tell me what you see.

[Rarilue]

looking at the 5th screenshot... uhh the brunette?

[Frieza]

I wonder what her presence means? She has a different hairstyle than the female protagonist, so does this mean she's a rival or another player? Will there be co-op in this game? Will you be able to customize your character? Hmm...

[Mist]

You guys are slow when seeing that pig-ailed girl. She was in the very FIRST video of the X and Y trailer. Try watching the video again and you will see her in the very same forest. Months ago I brought her up but nobody replied....My guess she is like the Sinnoh NPC trainers that follow you around.

WHATS MORE ALARMING in the fifth screen shot is you see the boy player as the gender chosen WITH the female character in the background. Why is the female gender option there? Is this like May/Brandan all over again? Also note that she doesnt have a hat on.

with this in mind...good bye. with that insider ifno turnign true im making sure i dont ruin anymore so its a general surprise to me

And I dont agree with you on the Ice matter. Ice never needs another weakness. 5 weaknesses is too much for one type. Im hoping Sylveon is just the first duel typed eevelution to make some sense or some funky ability. Either way if there is a new type, new weakness to ice i will be mad but I will deal with it....I will simply just train the best ice team and crush this stupid new type with ice pokemon and make this type including sylveon wish they were never created

[Frieza]

Big update!

pokebeach.com/2013/06/nintendo-direct-reveals-fairy-type-new-pokemon

Discuss!

[Rarilue]

"11/06/13 15:55
Rarilue: "Pokémon you've played with may turn to you in battle and wait for your orders." so they made a feature where pokemon may act on their own?

At the game website or whatever it was the description to one of the pictures. What will this mean for pokemon that you treat like crap?

[Mist]

Pokemon.com gives out the most info and usually best for details.


Its about time we have a proper wyvern pokemon. I was about to just settle that that druddigon was the closest we would get. Also...the secret hidden message said to be in Vivillions ings....is piano keys...its wings look like piano keys.

I dont mind a new type...just hoping ice is safe...I liked ice type as it was only one of 2 that were strong enough to take down the big bag dragons. But I guess if its for balance its ok. I only wish i was truly able to be spoiler free to had my mind blown away at findign this out actually playing the game but whatever.

MOAR UPDATES

It seems we get a water/poison sea horse...its ugly to me...And a blue ugly crawdaddy? idk...maybe its a plot on the rare blue lobsters. Any fletchlings evos legs look to ismilar to braviarys legs...come on game freak...birds have majestic body features not feathery pant legs.

Edit:

EVEN MOAR UPDATES!!!

Edit 2:
lol have another update

[Frieza]

So much information!

After viewing all of the revealed Pokemon, I can safely say that these Pokemon are WAY better than the Gen V Pokemon (although it's too early to say that this generation is overall better). The fire/flying Pokemon looks like it would be a great Pokemon to be the "Pidgey-Pidgeot" Pokemon of the generation. I'm excited to see where the blue lobster will go evolution-wise as well, as I like its design. However, that doesn't mean everything is perfect. I'm having problems with the flower fairy Pokemon and the Seahorse looking Pokemon, for starters. The lion cub Pokemon rubbed me the wrong was as well for some reason, but we'll see how it does when its evolutions are revealed.

[Mist]

Im horrible at trying to stay spoiler free

NEW UPDATE

new pokemon including pancham evolution which looks like a BOSS literally. Panchams evo looks like thoe punks from the mangas that are in charge of some violent school gang that usually have long trench coats and stuff. He even has a fur collar to match the trench coat collars too. Im pretty sure thats the inspiration as pancham is the juvenille delinquent pokemon

FINALLY A DARK/PSYCHIC!!! I was hopign for a cooler one but this will due as its a cool type combo.

Im getting tired of cute fairies...Show us some tough looking fairy like a dark/fairy or a dragon/fairy.

We have our first official black male gym leader thats cool...I dont like the other kid...The doctor octopus kid...who does he think hes fooling...I HATE THOSE MECH ARMS!!


Oh that and we have a new evil team that for the first time doesnt seem to interested in pokemon. Team Flare/Flair is interested in becoming rich. Will they be like Pokemon Hunter Jya from the anime and catch pokemon to sell in the black market? who knows!

I was hoping for another female professor but this was is just as feminine as Professor Juniper. Just look at that fabulously flowing hair.

[Rarilue]

I do like the Goronda (evo. of pancham). I also love his type combo cuz it fits the appearance so well. a Brute yet can also be a dirty fighter (considering some of the attack and tricks dark type has).

The dark/psychic kinda creeps me out but I guess it fits, looking like some evil wizard. >.>

[Mist]

Alright so as of yesterday october 1st some people in italy/canada(mostly canada) have actually been able to get their x and y copies before the game is actually released on october 12th...with that ppl started leaking.

Unfortunelty nintendo have got wind of this and been issuign the nintendo ban hammer like crazy so many leakers have been given warnings.

some pics have come up with fennekins/froakies final evo.

remember these could be fake...I myself doubt they are as it looks like legit shots of ppl taking pictures of their 3DS systems itself. but photo programs are also strong. Its up to you to decide whether to spoil yourself or not....



Fennekin evo

SPOILER: Click to show

also hawlucha

Froakie evo

SPOILER: Click to show

ALL I WANT IS CHESPIN EVO AND I CAN RESIST THE URG TO KNOW EVERYTHING BUT AKJGKDJG I HAVENT GOTTEN THAT YET!!! NO LEAKS WITH THAT YET. TRUST ME I WILL BE ALL OVER THAT SHIT WHEN CHESPINS WVO COMES OUT!!!

edit

Chespins evo?

SPOILER: Click to show

hells yeah




Shiny or gender difference? you decide!!! I hope its a shiyn becauz the one on the right isnt bad at all. but if its genderwise then we can have both!!

also if what we see is true.... Fennekins final evo is so tiny...4'11" lololol.. Froakies final evo sttas are crap with only special attack/speed being good. IOddly i thought it would be high speed/attack but hey its a neat twist and a nice one since most water attacks are special anyways......Also apparently it has a move called "Water Shuriken" which means you can officially give it a Naruto based name .

Chespins evo stats are similar to torterra. High HP/attack/defense. the other grass walls from gen 1 & 2 werent great at HP but focused on both lines of defense. If I have to guess chespins evo is reverse from toterra which has higher attack then HP. So chespin evo's highest stat is HP, Defense, and then Attack. It also seems faster than torterra as a saving grace.

No stat leaks on fen evo



remember these are possiblely real/not

MOTHERFUCKING NEW MEGA POKEMON, ALL BUT CONFIRMED! i.imgur.com/qPfFP7Kh.jpg

[Mist]

Ive heard that rumor b4.

dang it all...I thought at first that the quilladin at the bottom screen was some sort of grass platypus covered in leaves....now i want a platypus pokemon.

and i dont know what a sachet is...but new item apparently........Im soooo making a Pokemon Team with moves that steal/disable items. PREVENT ALL THE MEGA EVOLUTIONS!!! JUST STEAL THEM FROM YA!!!

edit:
this showed up on tumblr just now...i got to say Id like this more but the "video image" on the top left looks to high quality to be real from recent leaks


personally im still doubtful on the images above....why? if multiple ppl got the game early then why are all the leak images the same rather then different angle photo leaks? pretty suspicious to me.

time will tell
