There were three silhouettes but that doesn't mean all three are Pokemon. >.>

First Silhouette was with the battle mock up that I said looked like it was from Sylveon's video. Later at the end of Smash a red boxed ? came up over a card. Matsuda was also shown holding a Blue boxed ? covered card. The Red boxed and Battle mock up are probably the same Pokemon. One being the 3D art the other being Sugimori Art. The thing Matsuda is holding is probably another wifi event...I really won't put it past them. Happened twice already, I have a sneaking suspicion there is a third.

So I'm seeing only 1 new Pokemon. Keep in mind every time we have had "Big" news...its been something fairly stupid.
In that case, I only expect to see one new Pokémon revealed, with the possibility of one or two more in the next CoroCoro scans. The latter being more of a hope than an expectation.

PokéBeach also reports that a new trailer will be shown, although likely to be another small snippet of the new Pokémon they're hiding in the battle mock up that looks similar to Sylveon's.

I wish they would show more backgrounds beyond that one...
I'm glad we'll finally have something to speculate about that isn't Sylveon, final starter evolutions, or Mascots. I hope it's an evolution of an old Pokémon tbh.

Anyone have images of these silhouettes? It'd be helpful if the rest of us knew what they looked like.

If I missed images or links, my apologies, please point me to them.

The third was a red version of the second one being shown by the Smash cast. There were gasps and oohs. But they do that for a lot of things XD

What if there are pokemon behind the red and blue cards... The blue being an X version exclusive and red being a Y version exclusive? The colors match up to the colors of the version mascots.

But there was only 1 previewed battle scene. If they did two sugi arts, it would stand we'd get 2 3D images too XD

Besides, as I said before they've done this before and it was nothing or a download event.

They showed three silhouettes at the end of the stream so more international news next weekend.

Is there a picture of these silhouettes anywhere? I'm surprised they're so hard to find....

Unless it's supposed to be those question marks, in which case they're not silhouettes. Silhouettes imply some kind of shadowy defined shape. :/

Hmm I'm betting on it being the regional bird basically. I mean I remember Pidove being early in generation 5!!

Just throwing it out there, but perhaps the map of the new region is hiding behind one of those cards? I don't have my hopes up for it to be, but the thought did occur to me.... like two seconds ago.

Hmm good point, but I think the map would be larger (as in found online and not on a card)...? Actually what else would need an international release HMM.

I don't think protagonist artwork would really need an international announcement, though. :(

Its a new Pokemon and most likely some more news, I wonder what it could be. If it has a worldwide announcement and Junichi Masuda is even promoting it, I'd say its more than just a Pokemon reveal..

Am I the only one here who will buy the game regardless of how the new generation looks like because I'll eventually use gen. 1/2 Pokemon only as my team?
Just curious...

I do care about how they look like and how useful they'll be as I tend to use a mix generational team beyond 3 (my starting and favorite region is Hoenn...which should be obvious to everyone by now lol).

Here's an interesting thought, what if the new Pokémon is another legendary? Perhaps from the side trio(s)...or maybe even the third member to the mascots... it'll be unique if so as Rayquaza, Giratina, and Kyurem weren't revealed, we found them in the games.

So...which region is your favourite? :D

Kidding aside, I will be using whatever's in the regional Pokédex to keep it true to the theme of a new region and story. That doesn't mean I won't import other Pokémon or trade them in with other people, it just means I'll stick to the main game at first. That's what they intend by putting the import tools AFTER the E4.

Here's an interesting early April Fools info regarding XY I found from 4chan:

Spoiler:

A second set of starters in a similar role as the elemental monkeys sounds too good to be true since the elemental monkeys themselves are already hinted to be in the game based on the trailer.
