Pokémon X and Pokémon Y

[spoiler=Quick sketch of "Mikuwile."][/spoiler]

You have my acceptance.
I was like, first, like, "How will that work out?"
But then I was like, looking at your pic.
And, it, like, just struck me, man.
That's some nice rumorscetching.

I'm sure everyone here knows that Milotic's Japanese name is "Milokalos." The Venus de Milo is located somewhere in Europe today, right..?

Edit: http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Milotic The final 3 kana of its name spell, "Karosu/Kalos." I think they should put this tidbit in the trivia section. Who's with me?

Huh, you learn something new every day.

Of course, if we want to go really out there on predictions, a new Eeveeloution would be one of the better ways to announce a new type of pokemon. I do think that's unlikely at this point though.

I was just having a look at the first couple of pages of this thread for the fun of it to see the speculation (I posted this thread on my Birthday by the way haha, I don't even remember doing it) when I saw this post.

Well speculated Lozmaster

Also this:

it was the Bow, not the letter on the right haha.

it's fun to look back and see how the speculation started

We had 5 or 6 posts of full caps "OMGGGG" when the reveal happened

OK, if I ever become the boss in the Poke'mon press department, I am so gonna "leak" a bunch of complete BS to screw with the fans.

Also, Absol for the win. I love him.

That picture is absolutely terrifying.

The whole "mounting" Pokemon things seems kinda strange to me, to be honest. Especially since you would apparently only be able to mount certain Pokemon and only in certain places. Sounds like some sort of gimmick to replace the lack of having to use HMs to progress through the region now'a'days. I mean, it could be cool if done correctly, and I, for one, love seeing the actual Pokemon out in the game's world with their own sprites (I loved how in Heart Gold and Soul Silver that you could have practically any Pokemon following you around, it was just neat), but hopefully it doesn't end up being forced making you REQUIRED to carry around, for example, the Gogoat with you everywhere just in case you needed to mount it to progress.

Maybe it's just for convenience, like since bikes can't travel through super tall grass, you can ride a Gogoat instead for roughly the same speed but with the ability to travel through very tall grass?

Of course, they could bring back stunt riding (Gen III's Acro Bike) to access certain otherwise inaccessible areas, just so people won't just completely ditch bikes in favour of Gogoats.

For those wondering what the other buttons on the X and Y site are:

Links (they work, but they're currently blank, as they aren't revealed yet):

I recall seeing the main character skating on the first trailer, so it might be safe to assure the Pokémon mounting feature will be much more than just a convenient type of mobility, right? :x

Just a heads up that there is going to be a big reveal by Masuda on Pokemon Smash this weekend. It's possibly just the stuff we already know, but they usually don't have important people come in unless it's something equally important.
Last weeks episode was Sylveon's type, so perhaps we will be getting the reveal?

Either way, the new info should be around on sunday (where we will also be getting the big Maplestory reveal right?)

Oh wow, thanks for the link! looking forward to this :3

Isn't pokemon smash normally quite long and will be full of things unrelated to x/y?

I'll just wait for someone to post it methinks, rather than watching what is essentially gibberish to me for an hour+ to find out if fairy is real or not.

Yeah, apparently there is never anything exciting until the end. I'm just gonna keep it open and keep checking back

Right now they're just showing the charmander episode of season 1.

EDIT: 8 way movement

Edit2: showing specific stats on pokemon now... actual use of gogoat in the city being shown

Edit3: not knowing japanese makes this harder :\

edit4: Eevee 3ds xl?

Well that was a waste of time.

Yay, more useless waiting for learning Sylveon's type. getting annoyed at them dragging this out.

Gogoat is so fast /sarcasm/

talking about e-speed +gear genesect :\

all useless

edit: quick peek at something called pokemon scramble U i think


edit2: B&W anime shows ash & co arriving at a makeshift pokemon center? the nurse joy there starts glowing 0.o
(from comments: lol nurse joy was evolving)


eevee themed 3ds shown
You can easily find google images of it but here it is anyways:

edit3: annndddd..... it's over. Nothing to see here folks... the nurse joy scene has me intrigued though.

No confirmation on Sylveon's type.

the nurse joy scene has me intrigued though.

My reaction was "Why the pineapple is Nurse Joy evolving?"
Someone else on the livestream said she was a Shiny Nurse Joy.

A few people were saying that was zoroark or something. But anyways, we basically got nothing this week :\
