6th Gen Confirmed Information Discussion

[RandomDSdevel]

Not surprising at all:

Spoiler:

Mauville Game Corner is history.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!! But the Game Corners are always so much fun!

I called this one right from the beginning, and a tweet from a few months back only made it even more evident. It's always safe to assume the Game Corner will never be in any future games.

And it's all thanks to Europe and their anti-gambling laws that the Game Corner is a thing of the past. At least this means the 5 TMs (Thunderbolt, Flamethrower, Ice Beam, Double Team, Psychic) it had in the originals will now be found in an alternative location. But the question now is, where will these TMs now be found?

Stupid, stupid Europe! The Game Corners are more like Chuck E. Cheese's than they are like casinos!

 

[Pendraflare]

Anyway I just saw those screenshots and holy chiz are those cool. I especially like Meteor Falls' 3D layout, that was one I was really looking forward to seeing in 3D, and it is indeed solid. The rest of the shots are gorgeous, too.

They made it logical here and expanded it.. in RSE it was weird and funny

Spoiler:

Oh that's a shame. I was looking forwards to spending some time with my golden girls :(

At least it looks very nice

 

[Vegeta™]

Maybe the girls do show up depending on the time/day lol

 

[Nah]

Maybe they only show up if you play as May? The hot spring seems to be divided in two.

Spoiler:

Why is he still clothed despite being in a hot spring? I thought they would have your trainer magically switch the clothing into swim wear once he or she steps foot on the spring water? Now that I think about it, after being reminded of how they were able to rip trainer models from the demo version into gmod, it's best that they didn't don't that.

Do NOT watch this video unless you want to see leaks:

THE FIRST FEW SECONDS. HOLY CRAPPPP

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!! But the Game Corners are always so much fun!

I'm not sure if you're kidding or being serious...

The Hoenn GC may be the coolest with the roulette table, but Game Corners weren't that fun to begin with. Do you actually play with the slots and all that? I remember just spending a **** ton of money on coins rather than play with the virtual machines.

If Game Freak can remove it and add more exciting features, I'll be way happier.

 

[OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire]

Well they released a patch for Pokemon Bank like I expected they would before, during, or slightly after the release of ORAS.

Basically this. The only time I ever cared enough to actually play the slots were in Platinum to attempt the bonus round, but other than that, all I ever cared for the Game Corner for was to get coins for TMs.

And they released a patch for Bank? Good, if that means what I think it does i'll be able to transfer some Pokémon that I bred over once i've prepared them.

 

[Altius]

I'm just going to leave this here... Again, avoid if you want to...

Inside Fortree Gym:

Spoiler:

It looks... gorgeous.

 

[Hikamaru]

Apparently Tumblr user Castaform has revealed that there will be no new Mega Evolutions, as evidenced in this post on his blog.

It also links to Pastebin which reveals even more stuff:

Spoiler:

The official names of the new Mega Stones: Sceptilite, Swampertite, Lopunnite, Glalitite, Steelixite, Pidgeotite, Diancite, Sablenite, Metagrossite, Slowbronite, Sharpedonite, Cameruptite, Salamencite, Galladite, Altarianite, Audinite, Beedrillite

Also, the Instagram leaker from earlier in the week has been posting even more screenshots on his Twitter account. Be warned, lots of spoilers but just take a look at the pics of Route 120 he posted. The stars sparkling in the water is so pretty.

It also confirms that the Abandoned Ship is renamed as "Sea Mauville".

Don't really get the name change though... Considering Mauville doesn't have space for such a large ship in the first place.

PLUS:

Spoiler:

It also confirms that the Elite Four will use megas at same point of the game, which fits in with the demo coding - due to the existence of a mega anklet.

WHAT'S THIS: GB Sounds

Final level-up moves for all Pokemon in OR/AS if anyone's interested.

Notes:
-Mudkip should've had Rock Throw since R/S/E. I totally called Marshtomp and Swampert learning Rock Slide instead of Rock Throw. And looks like those who'll start with Mudkip will be stuck with Water Gun, a 40 BP move, as a Water STAB until they get Surf from Wally's dad.
-Why didn't Sceptile have Dual Chop in B2/W2? Also, Grovyle gets Leaf Blade earlier now, so that's something, I guess. If I were to train a Treecko, I'd postpone its evolution till level 21 for Giga Drain.
-Glalie confirmed for Freeze-Dry
-Why didn't Slaking get Play Rough?
-Brave Bird is now a level-up move for Taillow/Swellow. Neat, considering that it was an egg move in the past
-The Ralts line now has Fairy STABs before Moonblast
-What's with Milotic and the random physical moves it gets?
-Shroomish gets Spore earlier, but you still have to hold off of evolving it to get it. >_>
-Does anyone here remember the times being creamed by Whismur's Uproars early-game in R/S/E? Well, those days are long gone
-Marill and Azumarill get Play Rough earlier, so that's neat for in-game purposes
-Aron line now has Rock STAB, when they didn't have any in the past
-Electrike line still has the problem of being stuck with physical moves early on
-I'm so glad they expanded Trapinch's level-up move pool in the past 3 generations; I still remember Trapinch hunting in Gen III and Trapinch itself being stuck with 3 moves being caught, 2 of the same type and working off of its weaker offensive stat
-Bagon line's level-up moves are arranged much better; IMO, it was unreasonable for Bagon to learn Ember at level 25.
-If Kyogre and Groudon are to be encountered at the same levels in the past (45), wearing them down for capture will be a tad difficult

Since I'm someone who'll be using Mudkip, I guess I'll have to rely on my Ground moves more for a while but yeah it's kinda lacking with level-up Water moves. Oh well, that still won't stop me choosing the little guy.

Ralts' move alterations are good as well. It was kinda annoying training one in X/Y and learning it took an eternity to get a Fairy move. I assume it's getting Fairy Wind early if that's right?

Wild Whismur getting nerfed eh? That is likely due to the power buff Uproar got in 5th Gen. A 90 BP move that early would just be scary, especially if you're doing a Nuzlocke.

Kyogre and Groudon I'm assuming will be harder to weaken and catch because they're in their Primal forms? They do get really strong in those forms which is why I'm thinking.

More stuff from Kristhofer's Twitter (I'll be posting more as I uncover them):

Spoiler:

And on a side note, that Kristhofer guy revealed via his Twitter account that the Manectite (aka Manectric's Mega Stone) is obtained underneath Cycling Road. Mega Stones obtained on the ground are apparently still shown as sparkles.

Another screenshot shows a horde battle with five Kecleon in it, so I guess that means that alongside the one encountered with the Silph Scope, we'll also be able to catch Kecleon in hordes.

Brendan/May still gives you the Fly HM after the battle against them on Route 119. Castform will also be given as a gift Pokemon at the Weather Institute again, but I think that was expected anyway.

Latios/Latias will be first seen at Route 118 (his screenie showed Latias so he's probably playing Alpha Sapphire although I have seen his pics show both) and the Mega Bracelet is obtained after 5th Gym, and I assume that might be when we get the Latiosite/Latiasite as well.

Route 118 also had some of its grass edited, it apparently now has the really tall grass (aka the same kind of grass you see on Route 119/120) which wasn't the case in the original games.

Hopefully, the Pledge move tutor is available before you get Surf.

The Ralts line got Disarming Voice (better than Fairy Wind) and Draining Kiss before Moonblast

Kyogre has Aqua Ring, while Groudon has Rest. I'm pretty sure anyone who tried catching them in HG/SS had the same problems.

 

[destinedjagold]

Groudon has Rest.

I am NOT looking forward to that. xD

Disarming Voice and Draining Kiss? Not exactly what I first thought but it's close enough.

Kyogre and Groudon have recovery moves? Guess that means we need to be a bit extra sneaky if we want to catch them without many issues.

Also, another Mega Stone location. Alakazite is found in Slateport City, near the markets.

But from what I've seen, it shows that there is still drastic changes being made to the design of certain areas, as now shown with the eastern part of Route 118 now having the really tall grass, and for those wondering, it had normal grass there in the originals. A comparison to sum it all up below.

R/S/E:

OR/AS:

Spoiler:

(spoilered because large pic)

 

[Cerberus87]

Rest isn't that bad. Snorlax usually has Rest, and it's manageable.

(yes, I'm comparing Groudon with Snorlax) :P

Disappointed that Pidgeot didn't get any new gizmos apart from the Mega Evolution. They really want us to use Uproar, it seems (lol).

 

[blue]

All these spoilers and leaks; hnnnng! Seriously I'm finding it so difficult to stop myself from looking at them all regardless of us Europeans being 9 days away from release. I've seen a few minor spoiler screenies, but there's so much I don't know I.e teams, areas, music etc so I'm happy about that! Just nine more days. ;;

 

[Hikamaru]

In an earlier post I mentioned that Kristhofer's Twitter page mentioned Castform being given to you at the Weather Institute as a gift Pokemon, like in the original games. Its moveset when you obtain it will be as follows: Rain Dance, Sunny Day, Hail and Weather Ball.

And if you missed what I mentioned earlier, he also confirmed two Mega Stone locations in the process:

Spoiler:

Alakazite is found near the markets in Slateport City
Manectite is found on Route 110, underneath Cycling Road

He's currently up to Lilycove City the last time he posted a pic, but I'll be on the lookout if he posts more screenies and then point out anything worth mentioning.
