Ahh yes, I have to say that finale was very very satisfying. I mean hell, even the Tyler storyline was all stitched back together, and the Klaroline storyline was (albeit temporarily it seems) brought to a close.
Also, I always wanted Klaus to become a good guy. And my God that one scene was sooooooooo beautiful like wow.

I am at a loss of words, truly.

Also, I just finished Teen Wolf season 1. This show is so great. You were absolutely right about it! Although I have to say, TVD shall never be beaten. Well ok except by Supernatural. That's a given.

haha if you'd done it for real I'd probably not have noticed. I'm ditzy like that.

I rambled a bit, but rather than edit, I'll just suggest that speculation should perhaps be limited to one thread except in VERY broad cases (speculating about Sylveon for instance), with factual information (Lumiose City, character names confirmed, here's your professor, etc.) or special threads (like Smash episodes) being entitled to their own threads. But I'll let you decide on that, I'll stop rambling now.

I still digress. Obviously it's your call, but I think there are some topics very broad and deserving of threads, and some topics that are so limited that they are better left for a general chit-chat. What makes it interesting is that some of those very threads are themselves rumours (Secret Bases, Trainer Classes, and After Game Stuff are three that come to mind), which by the logic in the quote above means there's no need for a rumours thread either. Some topics have such limited information, as well, that they don't need their own threads. There are, actually, very few threads I could pick out (mainly the obvious ones, like Smash reveals, Newtwo, and Sylveon discussion among others) that are factual, and are mostly rumours or speculation themselves. Basically, EVERYTHING that has not been confirmed by Nintendo is either a speculation or a rumour. Having fact threads where just facts are discussed is something that may not hurt.

Speaking of fact threads, for instance, I created the Lumiose City thread because I had a great amount of detail to post in a separate discussion that came straight from the Pokémon site. That is the kind of thread I think is good to have on its own. In the future, another city reveal may be able to have its own thread as well, or if the Professor's name is confirmed a thread about the new professor. Again, it's just my opinion, and all.

Well at least it sounds like good busy at least!

What's keeping ya so busy?

Actually, rumours are a form of speculation. General Chit-Chat would be more for general discussion of things that are already known about the game, but then that covers the entire forum as a whole as well.

Forgot something below but figure you already have seen it, so new VM. Are you planning to move any of the speculation material to the new thread, and then delete the heading post currently in the thread? That way we don't have broken discussions.

S'alright if you're not, just thinking ahead a bit.

Suggested thread titles (again, just suggesting):

X/Y General Chit-Chat
X/Y Rumour Mill and Speculation HQ

(I'm open to other wording for speculation; I don't know if there's a set term for it like the "rumour mill".)
