6th Gen X/Y Third Version Speculation Thread

[Precious Tears]

Well, that means either no third version or the third version's gonna take place on a non-France region or the climax could happen on somewhere far from Lumiose; all Team Flare mentions and that red cafe will be removed from Lumiose to avoid controversy.

EDIT: Kinda ike Petalburg City. Petalburg isn't tied with either Team Magma or Team Aqua in any way.

Plot Twist We head to Kanto with an all new story. (I would be fine with it myself)

I think this is the first time that we have had no real clue about the new game. We all thought Gray would happen but we got BW2 instead. Though this time due to BW2 we have no idea what to expect. TBH I kinda like that feeling myself. While I am all for the trilogy who is to say the final game would be in Kalos. Or at least the Kalos we know. I seem to remember someone in XY saying something like Kalos has a south side? I am guessing news will drop soon they question is how soon. I am expecting in Feb during a Direct myself. I also hope they don't give out all the info over the months leading to the game. I felt they did that with XY and ORAS the game had no surprises.

Nor is Mauville. The only cities tied to them were Rustboro (stealing the parts) and Lilicove.

I think they'll leave the Cafe... but perhaps they have some tributes to those who died in Paris in the game...like flowers where the girls who were impersonating Heatran (it's more clear in the Japanese versions) are in XY.

Would also be nice to have a tribute to Iwata who helped bring Pokémon abroad.

Yes the surprises, they revealed all the available Mega Evolution forms. They might think that's gonna create more hype, particularly for the fans of those Pokemon that received alternate forms. :/

Maybe but for me I would like it if they kept most things hidden like gyms, champions some Pokémon and only gave us info on gameplay changes and new features

Revealing Gyms and stuff have been there for a decade, happened in Gen IV, happened in Gen V as well. Lol

Spoiler:

All actual trailers from the original Japanese version.

Difference than is at least Gen 4 social media was not all in your face so you had to go looking for the info

 

[WingsofBliss]

I was looking through the list of Megas and holy crap... most of them are from Gen 3. I hope we get some Gen 4, 5, and 6 Megas in the next game. Calling it now, Mega Stunfisk and Mega Porygon-Z as the "world-changing" news next month. Lysandre better watch it, my Mega Stunfisk will kick his fanny to Chinatown.

 

[RailgunSkye]

I think Lapras is the only Gen 1 Poke with no pre evo,evo or mega evo. Let's change that! Lapis needs love!

There's Tauros, the legendary birds, and Mew. :3

As I said, if by a chance we get new pokemon in Z, what else would everyone like to see? Remember this is very unlikely, but it is still possible. Anything is possible at this point.

Spoiler:

~ 3 Legendary Wolves - They are based on Hati, Skoll, and Fenrir. These could be Dark/Fire, Dark/Ice and Dark/Elec. I didn't like the idea of not having a trio. I have always loved seeing what the region trio was. (I am not talking about the game mascot trios) This would also make a lot of sense with coming destruction.

~ Dragon Eeveelution. We all know it was weird only getting one. Dragon would have made a lot of sense.

~ Veorfolnir or the eagle based legend. Veo is the hawk who sits upon the unnamed eagle on the World Tree. Flying type.

~ Ratatoskr based legend - this is the squirrel in which is supposed to be the messenger on the world tree. This could be a Fairy/Grass

Sol and Mani - This would be a duo of Pegasus. One would be black and gray while the other would be orange and red or yellow. These are the moon and sun. They could be Fairy/Fire and Fairy/Dark.

This would bring our Legend count to 13. Which I think is an ok number. Especially with it being based on Norse Mythology. If not all, then I would love to see Sol, Mani, Hati, Skoll, and Fenrir legends at least.

There are also a good amount of Megas I would love to see, but too many to name.

 

[OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire]

The Kalos legends are also based on Hindu (The Mortality trio's powers represent those of the Hindu Trinity, and Hoopa unbound might be based on Shiva just like Yvetal (Shiva is the destructive one of the Hindu Trinity), Machamp, and Medicham), Arabic (Hoopa is a Djin, a demon/angel like being), and medieval Europe (Complete Zygarde being a Knight and Diancie a European style princess/Queen).

I would love the Squirrel. They can make it Steel/Electric to counter Yvetal and Xerneas, but will be at the mercy or Zygarde. It can have a W name and be the mascot of Pokémon W.

The only "new" Pokémon I see that will be added in the third game's Pokédex are new Megas and Zygarde's alternate forms. And probably some other form changes to probably Volcanion.

But I can see them adding new Pokémon if they expand Kalos to include maybe a "new" region south of Kalos. They'll probably just call it "Southern Kalos" and call the XY Kalos as "Northern Kalos." In the "Southern Kalos," there will be a few new PKMN living there that "prefer living in the south" than in the north.

...Huh, I kinda like that idea.

Or perhaps AZ pushed them to extinction when making his weapon. Interestingly in OrAs it's mentioned that mons that used to live there vanished (only to return after defeating the Primal), it could be similar in Kalos. I think even if they expanded it it'll be like Unova, all part of the same region.

Yeah, that's what I was trying to say, but I probably didn't word it correctly. The current Kalos region will be called the Northern Kalos and the new region will be called Southern Kalos, but these two regions are just one region called Kalos. Kinda like in FireRed/LeafGreen, where the Sevii Islands were still part of Kanto yet they had their own region map in the Town Map. :3

the legendary birds & mew can be exempted from that for being legends, though it is kinda odd that mewtwo has 2 different mega evolutions while mew doesn't
also articuno moltres and zapdos do have this:

For some weird I thought Taurous evolved into Buffalaunt. I feel silly now.

well, a lot of people thought Bouffalant was gonna be a Tauros evolution back when it was revealed .

Thought Alomola was a Luvdisc evo too. Not sure why they did not do it. We have not had past pokemon evos since Gen 4. Sad to see that it is not a thing anymore
