I think these names are odd, Skiddo sounds kinda catchy I have to say although Dedenne looks pretty hard to pronounce, I tried so many different pronunciations of it. But it was expected the Pikaclone would keep its Japanese name. Bunnelby I guess might be a pun on bunny and tunnel.

And they also confirmed the new Gym Leader's English name - Korrina. It's a bit of an odd name but after I looked closely and noticed her artwork shows her kicking and she's in a boxing ring, we can safely assume she specializes in Fighting-types. I remember someone once rumored a Fighting Gym Leader in the game.

Considering all the Mega Stones end with -nite, I think Dragonite can be ruled out from Mega treatment, right? :)

Sorry but after watching that video, I'm even more enthusiastic about these Mega Evoltuions! They look so awesome in action and the animation for the transformation is fantastic, I also love how the player was grinding on the railing in that new swanky looking Gym!

Oh, btw anyone else think that the new Gym Leader Korrina might be Fighting type?

Yup, that definitely looks like a fist.

I don't really like the concept of Mega Evolutions, I'm sure it'll become a popular thing to bash, but before I even read people bashing them my own opinion is that I don't like it. That said some of the megaevos look reasonably cool. Although Mewtwo's megaevo makes little sense as the design makes it look weaker than Mewtwo.

My only other thought on this is that we have more than enough electric rodents and this one just looks like a really crap version of Raichu.

Bad month for information personally, but I'm still excited for the game.

Plus, she could be using Lucario, which was one of the pokémon confirmed to have a Mega Evolution.

Here are some interesting screenshots from the official website.

Lol this proves that you can ride more pokemon and outside of Cities and towns. Also note its jumping which means you can get to higher ground riding on pokemon as well as jump over ledges it reminds me of Zelda's Epona Pokemon X & Y = Best 3DS/DS game ever


Look at the new Super Training Facility which looks like Pokemon Stadium.

You can increase pokemon base stats by training them in this case Geodude is playing soccer.

Here is more:


Here is a detail analysis of Super Training from the official website:

The Effort-o-MeterUnderstand your Pokémon’s stats at a glance with the Effort-o-Meter! Check a Pokémon’s Effort-o-Meter graph on the Super Training main screen to get a quick and easy look at how your Pokémon has grown.

Each Pokémon has some stats that will grow more easily than others and some stats that will take more work to raise. The inside (green) part of the Effort-o-Meter graph shows the stat levels relevant to each Pokémon species. The outside (yellow) part of the graph shows the base stat increases that your Pokémon has achieved through Super Training. There is a limit to how much any single Pokémon can increase its base stats through training. The meter on the right side of the screen illustrates that limit.

Lmao off talk about Child Abuse the Hero riding that baby Skiddo bty is very cute:



The graphics are improving with every new update!

I see that people are still complaining about the Mega names. Do the names really matter since they are only in battle?

Also, I would say that the new gym leader is fighting type. So I am sure we will see a few new fighting types soon. At least I hope, I actually really like fighting types.

These games are just getting better and better, there's so many screenshots that have made me think Wow, how much of a step up these games are from Black & White. Really excited for October now.

I'm loving the whole mega pokemon thing. but the one thing that i don't like is that you can get that torchic at the very first day. They basically give you a fire starter at the beginning of the game. And if most people are going to use that torchic in the game. that would mean that very few people are going to choose fennekin.

I dont get all the hate towards Mega pokemon in general. Its only for the battle mechanic and makes plain unused pokemon more interesting. Mawhile was requested for evolution but rather than creating all new evos they decide to give it a stronger form. People aren't going to accept change but I guarantee once they buy the game and try out the features being introduced in the game the will become accepted and loved by some. In anycase the starters evolutions are likely to be the last info to come out once the October CoroCoro leaks next month.

Wow these new screenshots & trailer have really changed my mind. I still don't know why Blaziken of all Pokes got a mega evolution, but I am quickly warming up to the idea as a whole. Everything looks so amazing.
So hyped :) I just want to play already lmao.

Well, at least my somewhat vague prediction of the gym leader's typing is correct. That'd be cool if she used Lucario/Blaziken on her team, and they were holding the megalution item to transform. Now that would be an interesting gym battle to say the least.

I'm loving these screenshots that they are showing! It feels like they are giving life to these Pokemon games with the very vivid animations and unique interactions with the atmosphere.

Also, a bit off topic, but with these mega evolutions, a super training facility, and horde battles... I have a feeling these games will probably have a much wider level span compared to the past games. Probably higher difficulty too, or at least the post-game.

I know this is bold but Pokemon X and Y will make the Nintendo 3DS a lot more popular. The monthly updated news and trailer releases is making this the most advertised Pokemon Game since Red/Blue especially on the internet with Twitter and Youtube the game is getting better exposure as well as multiple languages other than Japanese and English is expanding pokemon to different cultures and the heights I would have never imagine. The rich looking 3D graphics are going to be insane and I personally feel more info will come later this month like when Honedge was revealed after the July 4th corocoro leaks. With this in mind this is going to be groundbreaking beautiful 3D pokemon overworld, PSS (the best gadget since the Pokegear) will improve the wifi aspect of the game, the new Fairy type will balance the game, Mega evolution will change the battle mechanics as well as horde encounters and sky battles, and other gimmicks such as Pokemon Amie/Super Training facility/Customization/Holocaster will make this Pokemon game the richest experience ever there is no need to worry about them ruining the game its nothing but up from here on out

Here is some new screenshots showing the 3D graphics improving from before:


Looking sharper love how they capture the texture of the rock!

I wish they would show an in game map so we can see how the routes and stuff are. That is one thing I really do want to see before the game comes out.

A Lucarionite is needed to get the MegaLucario maybe every pokemon that Mega evolve have to get a held item to do so. Also the this looks like pokemon maybe able to hold more than one item as well.



Statement from the official website:

Mega Evolution is not possible for all Pokémon. Only certain Pokémon, under certain conditions, can achieve Mega Evolution. One of those conditions is a special item called a Mega Stone. These special stones exist for every Pokémon that can Mega Evolve, and each is named for the Pokémon to which it grants power.

To use a Mega Stone, give it to your Pokémon to hold. Pokémon capable of Mega Evolution will gain access to their potential only if they first carry a Mega Stone into battle. Other things are needed for Mega Evolution to succeed, and those secrets will be explained later!

Some of the many Mega Stones seem to be hidden in secret places in the Kalos region. Finding every one of them will be one of the challenges awaiting you in Pokémon X and Pokémon Y!

Hmm, called it, "Mega Evolution is described as an Evolution beyond all Evolution, a transformation found only in the Kalos region. It has also been called the greatest mystery of Pokemon." - Pokebeach

Thank Gawd! I can dig them as being unique for this game and the storyline.

"Actually, I only said similar in that they are exclusive to one region. Which is possible. The technology to craft shadow pokemon existed exclusively in that version. The same could be said with mega evolution technology, rather than simply formes as introduced in past generations."

Anyway, maybe these MEGAs could have something to with Pokemon research or whatever the motives of Team Flare are. Would be awesome if the first Pokemon that they successfully awaken is a MegaBlaziken and that's how we're properly introduced to them.
Haha, this comment speaks for itself.

Dream world was supposed to be Unova only. Its carrying over to this generation. The Megas will carry over to the next generation as well. If we get remakes, they'll carry over to them as well, otherwise you can't use the Mega forms when playing against anyone who has the remakes.

If it was made in the main series, it usually carries over to the next set.

Its being written as only in Kalos because the Megas didn't appear in any region before this.

Or Akuma and Ryu for that matter. Seriously, now I'm having trouble on which Steel I should add on my team: Lucario or Honedge, no thanks to his Mega Evolution.

GF never declared that Dream World was only found in the region of Unova as is the case with this statement on Mega Evolutions which is stated is only found in the Kalos Region, the two features are disparate. This appears to be an emphatic statement. Though it could certainly exist in other regions, the speculation seems fair especially given this statement. This being exclusive to the region certainly shouldn't be dismissed all together.

Competitive battling may have certain limitations that will place one form holding the item in a different tier, or outright ban the use of the item in competitions like the world championship and wifi battles. As many legendaries are.

I was so suprised. I didn't expect the English info to come out today. I really like the whole Mega Evolution thing and remember that DNA symbol on the Japanese logo? Now it makes sense! :) If you see on the video at the end of the evolution there is a little colored DNA symbol. lol

One thing I didn't like about the Mega Pokemon is Mega Mewtwo's size. It is smaller than the original Mewtwo. I know the term Mega refers to the stats tho.

I love the new Pokemon. Dedenne is so cute haha :)
