I would love secondary starters!
But I don't think they will make much difference, they will just be regarded as rare Pokemon you can get later in the game, & getting them depends on whether I want a pure fire/grass/water type in my team or not, I mean you would obviously choose a hybrid over a pure right?

It seems like everything will be an international announcement at this point; the only thing we didn't get at the same time was Sylveon because that was leaked a little early in Japan, and the names of Xerneas and Ylveltal a little early outside of Japan.

Protagonist artwork by itself may not warrant an entire announcement, but I think it may be what Masuda is revealing. If the protagonists' artwork doesn't match up to the 3D models we saw in the trailer (with glasses, for example) then it could lead into a reveal of customizable protagonists, if that is happening. Or it could even be the region map--something that we usually get early on that we haven't gotten this time around.

I'm sure the card the Smash cast was holding was the official artwork of the new Pokémon. I'm excited to see what it is! I'm thinking it might be this gen's electric rodent, or another "cute" "mascot" like Minccino. It may be the basic bird but usually that's revealed alongside the basic rodent. And I'm really hoping it's not another Eevee evolution. But that's always a possibility.

It only mentions that the first form is pure grass/fire/water. The evolutions would possibly have different types.

It hardly matters though since it's obviously fake.

What are you talking about? They were holding a card with a question mark on it. I don't see the connection between a generic question mark and official pokemon artwork.

Behind the question mark would be the official art work. Its the same exact thing I said when I posted that there were three different cardboard cards. Two have colored backgrounds, one red the other blue, and the ? on it. Both are covering what is really on those cards.

We know we are getting a new 3D image as that was the third image shown. One of the two covered cards is most likely the official artwork.

Z25 March 31st, 2013 2:51 PM

Here are my guesses on the announcement: another eeveelution being a new type( sound type and sylveon light), mewtwo's new form( seems to be hinted by nintendo in the new movie), or just a pokemon of a new type.

OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire March 31st, 2013 3:33 PM

A second eevolution is possible, we still have time before the movie short too...and Sylveon's method and type has yet to be revealed...they could reveal that info together with the info with this one.

Wobbu March 31st, 2013 10:13 PM

The red ? box could reveal Yveltal's type, and the blue ? box could reveal Xerneas's type.

Ho-Oh April 1st, 2013 1:09 AM

Honestly I would LOVE a second set of starters soooo much so I hope that rumour is true. I mean I really hoped it from the start ;_; PLEASE GF. PLEASE.

Liberal Army April 1st, 2013 1:55 AM

Well I think we'll get to see the small, cute event legendary. You know, just like Victini and Jirachi.
And is.it just me who sees something above the questionmark from the battle screen? looks like 2 gray ears...

Moist April 1st, 2013 2:20 AM

Hopefully its an evo or pre-evo of an existing pokemon. I love pre-evos and evos of existing pokemon. If the grey ears thing is true, could be a purugly evolution? idk.

OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire April 1st, 2013 5:41 AM

I want it to have an evolution so I hope so :3 .
Mightyena,Absol, and Tropius evos work too (not saying they're grey, I just want evolutions of them this generation).

Co500 April 1st, 2013 6:24 AM

I really hope they reveal more than just one pokemon, maybe a family of all 3 evos, or one that looks like a new type ( if there is indeed going to be a new type)

Scarecr0wFixatioN April 1st, 2013 6:53 AM

I'm guessing its going to be one pokemon, that's probably going to be really relevant towards something, a regional map and maybe minor details. I just can't seem them revealing a regional bug and leaving it at that. They seem to be hyping it up a bit.

blue April 1st, 2013 7:12 AM

It must be a Pokemon playing a major role in the game given the amount of publicisation it has gained, perhaps the third legendary counterpart to Yveltal & Xerneas?

Liberal Army April 1st, 2013 8:42 AM

Or the unexpected: Ruby/Sapphire remakes! Blue box is Sapphire and red box Is Ruby.
I know its not going to happen since we have to wait after the releases of X and Y.

We have a better chance of a brand new Pokemon rather than an addition to an existing right now. We got Sylveon last time and it wasn't announced albeit hinted at. Since this one is just "NEW POKEMON!" Its most likely a new Pokemon.

There was only one battle screen so chance are its either a stage to one family or a single stage Pokemon.

First Pokemon revealed for Black and White played no major part in the games at all. Some of the leaks after that were just random Pokemon that didn't have any major focus. We already got the big guys out, Starters, Legends and a Movie focus, so this can be any random Pokemon.

SolarAbusoru April 1st, 2013 10:49 AM

I'm guessing the Pokémon shown will probably be this generation's Rattata-mon

Shiny Celebi April 1st, 2013 11:50 AM

It could really be anything. I kinda hope for some random interesting Pokemon that isnt an early bird/bug/rodent.

vaporeon7 April 1st, 2013 4:03 PM

Maybe it's be which ever Pokémon that will be important in the anime, like Axew.

Expro April 1st, 2013 5:30 PM

Do you guys remember when black and white was just being announced? Yeah, Zoroark was revealed as a silhouette. So maybe this is a Pokemon that plays some big role in the game or future movies. That's what I think. I hope it's a cool looking Pokemon!

OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire April 1st, 2013 7:30 PM

Perhaps, I remember the merchandise had two '?', if one of them wasn't Mewtwo it's possible this is the second one. Or perhaps they haven't revealed all the number of unknowns...

The two '?' were already revealed to be Mewtwo and Sylveon, so there really isn't any new Pokemon/formes to reveal for the movie. So what might be revealed could be a random new Pokemon for the game.

Maybe! But Zoroark was also revealed first, and around February too, so really early on. And Sylveon kind of took that role. Maybe we won't get a Zoroark-type-Pokemon this generation :x

I absolutely cannot wait for October this autumn when the new Generation of Pokemon is released!
This new Generation of Pokemon will be great...
But here are a few ideas on how the new games could be fun and enjoyable:

The three starter Pokemon need awesome-looking evolutions;

Fennekin doesn't become a Fire / Fighting type, it would be old and repetitive;

The three starter Pokemon's third evolution's secondary types are Psychic, Dark and Fighting (They counter each other Psychic<Dark<Fighting<Psychic - although Dark is immune to Psychic so this wouldn't be the best idea...);

The legendary mascots aren't Dragon types like the last two generations (Dialga and Palkia didn't LOOK like Dragons...);

We see new pre-evolutions and new evolutions of old Pokemon;

There aren't too many new Pokemon with complicated names and designs (Alomomola anyone?), some new Pokemon with retro designs would be nice;

The new Pokemon aren't based off of food (Vanilluxe) or real-life objects (Garbodor), or if they are, please hope they aren't too silly looking or are powerful and fun to use;

James Turner doesn't design any Pokemon! (I kid of course, I'm sure if he were to design new Pokemon, they would new ecsentric and good, but many hold him responsible for the less well designed Pokemon of Gen 5 - Vanillite, Vanillish, Vanilluxe, Vullaby, Mandibuzz. Although he did design Gollet and Golurk!);

There is a huge post story (New Islands, Pokemon, Battle Frontier, Legendary Pokemon, Puzzles like the Generation 3 Regi's Puzzle, Re-challenge GYM's, Harder Elite 4, World Tornament, Battle Subway etc...)

AND MAYBE

Walk with Pokemon (I know it wans't in the trailer, but it did say "Game footage not final", so you never know. It could be a toggle on/off feature that helps you bond with your Pokemon - help them evolve quicker!);

Have muiltiple regions (It would be nice to visit a full 3D Unova or another past/new region as a post-game challenge)

BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY...

NO ZUBAT OR TENTACRUEL (Or there Gen 5/6 equivalent) :D Only Joking ;)

Hope you like my ideas. I did like the Ice-Cream Trio, Trubbish or Garbodor and Vullaby or Mandibuzz, I was just joining in with their mocking as a joke and I think that the starter's don't look good for this new generation. I will be choosing Fennekin however because I love fire types!

It needs it to be neutralized by Stealth Rock's damage, but a Ground typing also works.

No starter trio is known to have one starter being immune by one of the other starter's secondary types, so it's not gonna happen.

Quote:

None of the mascots look like Dragon types.

Quote:

The new Pokemon don't have long / complicated names / designs;
Are you by any chance is a lazy fanartist? Just because a Pokemon has a more complex design than the Pokemon in Gen 1 and 2 doesn't mean they're bad; it usually means that the people complaining about the designs don't want to waste "precious" time drawing those designs when they want to draw fanart of those Pokemon.

Quote:

Not gonna happen. Also, Cherrim and Magneton say hi.

Quote:

Oh yes, let's not allow a guy who brought the idea of Harmoknight to design Pokemon who happen to be decent on their own role.

AND MAYBE
Walk with Pokemon;
The trailer showed that they aren't bringing it back.

Quote:

It's actually not the best idea; just look at Kanto in the Gen 2 games for example. Plus, the level curve...

BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY...

Quote:

NO ZUBAT OR TENTACRUEL :D
Woobat and Frillish's existance will inevitably take their place in future games.

Hope you like my ideas, let me point out that these are MY ideas and MY views. I didn't like the Ice-Cream Tri, Trubbish or Garbodor and Vullaby or Mandibuzz and I think that the starter's don't look good. I will be choosing Fennekin however because I love fire types!
And it is MY idea to criticize your ideas on how they're either flawed or proven wrong base from our current information about XY. I would like to see what kind of food or inanimate object will be turned into a Pokemon this gen.
