Pokémon X and Pokémon Y

Hnghhhhhh.

Also some new information was confirmed in an interview:

Pokémon gain experience even when the opposing wild Pokémon is caught (as stated in another interview). A caught Pokémon gives the same experience points as a defeated one.

Sky Battles are limited to Flying-type Pokémon and those with the Levitate Ability (as previously confirmed). Some moves can't be used.

There is an adjustment to the inheritence system of breeding.

Ghost-type Pokemon can freely escape from battle without being influenced by Shadow Tag. (The official website mentioned trapping moves.)

The item Exp. Share will revert to Exp. All as in Generation I, where when one Pokémon holding this item participates in battle, all other Pokémon in the team receive experience as well. Unlike in Generation I, the experience is not split but rather received by all Pokémon. This means that the participating Pokemon receive 100% experience, while non-participating Pokémon receive 50% experience.

When distributing new moves and abilities, priority was given to new Pokémon.

The CGI style is different from that of Pokémon Stadium and Pokémon Battle Revolution, because those games were supposed to emulate "realism within fantasy". Since the handheld Pokémon series is supposed to be accessible to everyone, battles were made "cuter".

The standard selection process for Pokémon to be Mega-Evolvable is based on three points: visual looks, popularity and game balance.

The power-up of Mega-Evolved Pokemon is meant to elevate them to the class of legendary Pokémon, hence the restriction of only one
Pokémon being allowed to hold a Mega Stone during battles.

The timing to Mega-Evolve is selectable.

Some moves, with focus on special ones, have had their power and accuracy revamped.

Clearly they value visual looks and popularity over game balance since they gave Lucario, Mewtwo, Blaziken and Garchomp mega evo's >_>

I hope they don't continue the trend of giving popular powerful pokemon Mega Evolutions, since other pokemon need them way more.

oh god, the EV training, my poor heart can't take this what if the pokemon in tha back is holding the macho brace or one of the +4ev things?

No more Focus Blast/Miss?

I'm really excited about Sky Battles.

I like the look of that Doublade attack.

game balance

I don't get why Garchomp is getting one then.

what is he gonna do with two sheathed swords huh!?

Could be fake, but this little guy sure is so cute.

Somnignon is the pillow pokemon. It's name is a mix of somne (light sleep) and Mignon (cute). It's a white mink. It's normal type.

3.5 kg
45 cm

It has a new ability called "Comfortable". It works the same way as static, but for the sleep status.

It's on /vp/ so it's probably fake...

Please don't be fake.


Edit: Not sure if this was already pointed out. This looks like a koala to me. New pokemon?

Needs two squirtles on the side for propulsion!

Eurghhh, that sleeping ferret pokemon is so cute. I wish they'd stop making such convincing fakes, it's heartbreaking.

Also pineapple everything else, the return of Exp. All is the best news I've heard so far.

The magazine, TV Guide, has revealed the next two titles for the Pokémon XY anime. These episodes are due to air on October 24th and October 31st respectively, but details of them are not currently known
Episode 806: Froakie VS Fletchling! Air Assault Battle!!
Episode 807: Pikachu & Dedenne! Nuzzle!!

Froakie for Water/Flying final evo?.

What appeared to be a single blade becomes two blades when Honedge evolves into Doublade!

So Doublade isn't 2 Honedge's merging, it's one Honedge splitting into 2.

It can unsurprisingly learn Sacred Sword, a move previously only learnable by Keldeo and co.




Swords Dance... Sacred Sword... I think I see a pattern here, i'm sure i'll figure it out eventually.

The Nintendo website now has a countdown until X and Y's release.

wonder if ill get my copy a day earlier after the whole GTA street date fiasco..
