6th Gen X/Y General Chat and Speculation

With Sylveon only showcasing 4 attacks I think its still four. Besides that 5 attacks on Pokemon would upset the tiers for current meta as a lot of new formats would open up. it would probably throw the current meta into as much chaos as a new type would.

I do agree with Xander, changing the number of moves Pokemon can have at a time could upset the competitive balance and cause even more confusion, just like what would happen if a new type or triple-types were introduced.

There was talk before Ruby & Sapphire's release that the Pokemon would be able to have more than 4 moves at a time but that never happened.

I can't see why they'd change to five moves after 17 years. If the idea was dropped with gen III, I don't see it happening now.

Not sure if anyone has seen this, but:



This was taken from CoroCoro's website. It's believed to be April's cover page issue of CoroCoro. If you take a look at the top-right corner of the page, you'll see the starters. It's probably nothing, but maybe it can mean that April's edition will bring more info about the starters?

(btw, the issue that comes out in March is April's edition of Corocoro)

I'm pretty sure that's Ichiban, which is just the side magazine of CoroCoro from a few weeks ago, which had nothing.

Oh.

Well, either or, I didn't expect much anyway. Probably just a showcase of the starters.

I don't want you guys to get too excited, but apparently this issue has quite a bit. Doesn't sound like just Sylveon and screens for XY. God the wait is killing me.

I'm hoping that we get leaks later tonight. Ah well, if I have to wait four more days I guess I can.

Leaks definitely will be coming by tomorrow the latest, its already in the hands of the usual leakers.

Na, there's a big XY supplement in this one, along with stickers of various XY Pokémon

Oh daym that's awesome! By stickers I assume that means we'll see many X/Y mons? n_n That's great to hear~

Hopefully. For all we know it could be the ones we already know about.

Hey, hey, well, that's good to hear! I'm also excited on what we'll see! Even if it's not much, some news is better than no news, right?

Given that we only know six, and by "various" I would assume it's a looooot more than just six imo.

True Enough. I'm just trying to keep my expectations as low as possible so I won't be disappointed. But if its LOOOOT more then 6, by Arceus is this month gonna be so fun.

Yeah, substantial is all I care about, not new Pokemon. I get really annoyed when people tell me wait for June, when in all honesty news should be substantial from here on out.

I'm just hoping for regional information, and character art. I'm still trying to not expect much though x.x
The whole Sylveon hype's worn off me so I could care less if they reveal his type >.>

I really want to see the starter evolutions more than anything else right now, then maybe Sylveon's type. Actually, revealing some more Pokemon would also be great right about now. And I'm hoping the
next coro coro is big!

Want.
Info.

That is all.

Honestly I'm not getting my hopes super-high just so I don't get super disappointed, but I'm definitely excited for the leaks! If anything, I'd just like to see the rivals and some new Pokémon. I'm expecting them to keep Sylveon's typing and stuff about the starters hidden longer. It just feels too early for them to release that kind of stuff.
