Haunter can't learn fly.


Though I wonder now if there are any limitations. Flying type and Levitate seem to be part of the stipulation to being in it if the picture is any clue, but what about those that can fly without levitate and aren't part flying like Beedrill or Dustox or Volcarona?

Then you have some who's pokedex hints to being able to fly like Garchomp and Whimseecott (in a way). Then again what if they don't limit it....Sky Battle with Graveller seems kinda dumb.

I'd like it if Pokemon like Dustox and Garchomp could compete in Sky Battles, too. Instead of basing it entirely off of type and ability, add a hidden stat that's checked for Pokemon that can either obviously fly or whose Pokedex entries say they can so they can compete too. On the other hand, only Levitate Bronzongs being able to enter would be interesting.

I think it will just be air borne Pokemon and those with the ability Levitate, otherwise we would have Pokemon such as Reshiram and Golurk being in the air which wouldn't look right.

I mentioned it in another thread but do you think the seahorse pokemon is Inkay? (the one you have to turn upside down when it levels up to evolve into Malimar)

It's quite possible, it fits the criteria with the name Inkay you'd associate with Poison and iirc the Seahorse Pokemon was using a Poison type attack.

Edit: Oh, and here's a clearer image of the Sky Battle in action, which you can clearly see takes place waaaay above the ground. Just wondering what happens to the trainers during this battle now...

The only issue is I don't think Inkay is a poison type. I think the guy (who's now turned out to be legit) said it evolved into Malimar who is a Dark/Psychic type.

Do we know this seahorse pokemon is poison type, just because it used a poison type move doesn't mean anything.

Pokémon-amie sounds...interesting. Like a mix of the Wii Shop title with the main game.

The image with four Houndour - is that in battle? Maybe you battle one at a time? Notice Froakie is the opponent; maybe you get a quartet of something you are strong against (Grass/Fire/Water).



I have to admit this looks weird. I hope we get more info on strengths and weaknesses so it can get into all the charts before the game comes out.

Pacific Time basically, so 6PM Pacific Time.

PT? I thought I missed it! Sweet, I can tune in while playing another game.

Cyclone

Thirty minutes left.
The North American twitter page makes it sound like we can expect more news "Just a reminder, Trainers! We're live-tweeting the Nintendo Developer Roundtable tonight at 6 p.m. PT. Who's ready for more #PokemonXY news?"

the anime reminds me of when I was a kid (which was not that long ago). At the time people were really into those little digital animals you carried in your pocket on a digital screen. They hardly did anything back then but this looks like a way more advanced version of it. Also, fairy pokemon make me happy. It seemed to me the marill was part of this type now? which I thought was kind of weird however I do really like marill so no worries, but thought it was strange.

Guys it's starting!
Wish we could see it...oh well twitter's okay.

This is so exciting! Hope we get some awesome news out of it! :)

"He is very excited for Pokémon players all over the world to begin their adventures at the same time."

I actually really like how they've decided to commence the release date globally on the same day, I thought it would be on different days but in October.

I was using a GBA when I first played pokemon (answer to the latest tweet).

According to Pokebeach the pictures they've shown earlier may have been shown by accident and were meant for this event...hopefully that'll not be all.
I always expected it to be a same day release as that's what worldwide release usually implies.

Well there's 90 minutes to spare, I'm sure we will get something that we don't already know.

"There are over 800,000 Japanese characters in the game, which translates to 1.4 million words in English!" Is this their way of saying that this will be a long game? Sure hope so.

Updates:

"Players will be able to choose 1 of 7 languages to play the game (English, French, Italian, German, Spanish, Japanese, or Korean)"
"The new PSS (Player Search System) will allow players to search for others locally or globally (via Wi-Fi) to battle and trade."

The PSS sounds a bit like the BW Global Station...with the addition of the distinction between local and Global

From Pokébeach:
"It communicates via local StreetPass and Wi-Fi to track even people you pass by."

It looks like the seahorse is Poison/Water and the lobster is plain Water.

I hope you can change your language at any time in-game!

Hey guys! Right now: Mr. Masuda is demoing a battle via the PSS. The two opposing Pokémon are new for Pokémon X and Pokémon Y!

New Pokemon Skrelp is a Poison- and Water-type Pokémon. Clauncher is a Water-type Pokémon.

Seems the seahorse isn't Inkay after all. It's nice to see another Poison/Water Pokémon after so long.
