6th Gen The X/Y Rumors Thread!

[OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire]

I was expecting Helioptile's evolutionto be quadpedal...now if these rumors are false maybe it will be.

I expect Froakie to be bulkier in appearance like all the other water starters final evolutions thus far.

 

[Hiatus]

The ghost-type spider Pokémon sounds to be quite awesome, in my opinion. If it has good offensive stats and a decent movepool, then maybe I'll have it become one of my team members. I'm hoping its ability to be Shadow Tag, so that we'll be able to switch into a Pokémon that it is super-effective against and have it faint without allowing the opponent to switch. Arena Trap could work, too, but Shadow Tag would fit this Pokémon better since the ability was designed for ghost-types only. :) Also, I wonder if Fairy Dust just affects the status of your opponents, or if it causes damage to their health as well?

 

[OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire]

I think Fairy Dust is a damaging move with the chance to inflict one of the noted status problems.

I hope it is more like Feraligatr though, maybe slightly smaller. With it being a fighting type, I was hoping it be for agile. Oh wow, I still love fighting types, so I will probably still love it. If these are true.

It would be nice to have another Tri Attack move. Maybe 50 power or something so it isn't too over powering.

 

[OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire]

Speaking of Tri Attack they should make it stronger...there is that rumor from Bulba that says they're changing the power and accurary of old moves. Maybe 100...or 95.

 

[Xander Olivieri]

I can't see Togepi line's type changing since it'll be the very first full type switch between generations Togetic and Togekiss will have to lose one of their types.

I don't really see Espurr being real either right now. Both Meowstic look as if they'd be perfect for Basic Stage Pokemon.

A lot of the rest sounds really cool, though some seems to conflict with other rumors...which of course causes some doubt to arise.

I wonder what time zone and time they'll update...if it's the 25th in Japan it'll proably be announced during night here in the U.S.

If I recall this is the US Facebook account doing this. I don't know if they have any other Facebook account, but if its the US it'll be where ever TPCi North America is located.

One has to admit though that Togepi's line seems like it'll fit right in with the Fairies. I can see it losing it's Normal typing for the Fairy type becoming Fairy/Flying. Also Gen 2 being the only generation to have new types other than this one makes it difficult to set a precedent seeing how only one old Pokemon gained one of the new types (that being Magneton) while no dual type at the time could really fit in with either new type to replace another imo.

 

[Iceshadow3317]

I can also see Togepi's line losing normal as well.

 

[OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire]

Imagine if that Fairy Dust move ends up being true...that on a Fairy/Flying Togekiss will be dangerous...

wow!!!
If you look at the bottom of this page he will show you that he have copies, He now ad alot of new and intersting info.(he say Raichu and Tropius will have mega evo).

 

[Ω Ruby and α Sapphire]

Had a brief skim through the page, looks pretty legit to me! I think it might be time stay of PC until release, I want to be surprised!

 

[Guy]

I certainly wouldn't mind it if Fairy Dust is a real move. That could be so useful in battle...and annoying too.

Here's the other set of information the leaker put up on his site. If he really does have both copies of the game like in his pictures, and his leak about a second Eeveelution is true, then I'm thinking that's what we can expect to see Pokémon reveal tomorrow on their Facebook page.

Spoiler:

And here is some new stuff that isn't on Pokebeach (yet):

• There is an ancient tablet pokemon with what look to be runes on it. It is ice/rock and can be found near a city with a windmill. It has the ability Flash Freeze which causes Pokemon to become frozen when they use a physical attack on it. The pokemon's name is Bitrunic and it knows the attacks rock smash and ice beam. It looks like a grey stone rectangular slab and the runes glow icy blue normally and red when it is attacking. It's eyes are two runes that are rectangles with diagonal lines that go through them.
• The next is a steel/ghost type pokemon also found near the ruins that have bitrunic. It is known as the mirror pokemon. Named Flekter. I only saw its pokedex entry and it said that it can trap a person's soul within the reflection. It does evolve into a broken mirror pokemon. I do not know the name of the evolution but it has a ghost like mist holding together broken mirror shards.
• To get spewpa to evolve into vivillon, you have to shake your 3ds up and down while it levels up. You can do this at anytime once it is past level 16.
• To get malimar, when inkay is leveling up past level 24, turn your 3ds upside down. Another thing to keep in mind is that you have to be surfing to do this.
• There is a lady in Lumiose city who will give you a task once a day for a week. If you complete her tasks (it can be anything from showing her a certain pokemon or bringing her a certain item to showing her an evolved pokemon), she will give you an egg. This egg has a Skiddo in it. If you take the hatched Skiddo to her, she'll teach you how to ride pokemon.
• Pokemon-amie it a lot of fun to play and create bonds with your pokemon, however if you don't use it, your pokemon don't lose happiness.
• Pokemon that can be found close to the starting area: quillom, bunnelby, scatterbug, fletchling, flabebe, pikachu.
• The Togepi lineup loses its normal typing and becomes fairy type.
• Metronome and Moon Dance are now fairy type moves.
• The day care center is near a bridge and has a river flowing behind it. You can now put up to four pokemon there. If you leave a pokemon there to breed, it's happiness will go down. If it gets too unhappy, it will no longer breed.
• When you street pass someone you can see them on your PSS. You can also battle them in a place called the pokemon battle arcade (not to be confused with the battle arcade from the battle frontier).
• Your friends don't believe you when you say you think you saw the legendary pokemon. Your rival (the male or female one that you didnt choose said they saw it too). Tierno says that you guys probably just dreamed it.
• There are new types of pokeball, each with a different speciality. On has a yellow top with a lightning bolt on it. As you can imagine, it works well on electric pokemon. It is called the shockball.
• The next is the ironball. It is all silver looking except a black band around the middle and a little indent on the top. Use for catching steel type pokemon but can also be good for catching heavier pokemon.
• They are following the pattern of having two eeveelutions in this generation. I have seen the other and it is unexpected, but awesome. I won't say what type but it isn't dragon or poison like people are thinking.
• Raichu gets a mega evolution. It turns brown with the orange/gold accents on its ears. Its speed and special attack are increased.
• Tropius gets to mega evolve. It gains more back leaves and now has more coconuts hanging from its neck. Its physical attack is raised but its speed it lowered.
• You can leave money with your mother again but you don't get annoying calls from her when she buys you stuff. Now you can leave her a shopping list and she will pick them up for you if she "finds a good sale".
• The train tracks in the East of Kalos lead to a new battle frontier that is being "built" while the main story is happening. It presumably will be finished by the time you beat the elite four.
• Shiny helioptile is a darker yellow, kind of orange-ish. This is the only shiny Pokemon I have encountered so far.

I will continue to post stuff as I discover them. These are all the spoilers I will post for today though.

 

[WildEagle]

Battle Frontier? You can give your mom a shopping list? Damn I'm so excited for October 12.

Lmfao dat opening, it reminds me of how Ash saw Ho-oh during episode 1. Pretty cool how we get to see the legendary before we set-off on our journey. I wonder what type the 2nd eeveelution will be?

The breeding change sounds pretty lame though. I just can't catch a ditto and forever shaft it in the breeder to be my breeder slave.

 

[Murkrow]

Spoiler:

Fake or not this look decent for Froakie's final evo.

 

[Hiatus]

If there's a second Eeveelution and it's not dragon- or poison-type, then I'm expecting it to be steel. It would have a sharp and metallic body style, kind of like Skarmory. Either that, or it could be a ghost-type. Also, if Raichu is indeed getting a MegaEvolution like this person says, then I would absolutely love it! I'm a huge fan of Raichu, and being able to see it in a more powerful form would be quite an awesome experience for me. :) Since this Pokémon is getting an increase in its Speed and Special Attack, I could definitely see it being used more often. It would make an excellent sweeper, in my opinion.

 

[Murkrow]

The "leaker" above updated a bit more info:

Spoiler:

• Talonflame doesn't evolve from Fletchling, there is a pokemon in between.
• The save game function takes substantially less time than previous games.
• On the main menu, these are the options: New Game, Continue, Mystery Gift, Streetpass Settings, Options, Wifi Settings.

 

[BeefTaco]

Im not entirely sure about this rumor, without going into detail it just seems fishy to me. I noticed the guy has the game boxes (which I doubt are fake), but I need to see the game cartridges to believe him.

I think tomorrow will probably be a good time to confirm if these are true or not if a pokemon he mentioned its the new evolved pokemon.

 

[Natsu Dragneel]

He Updated His List Again

Spoiler:

• Mega stones can be found in a caves through a new feature similar to the mining feature in D/P/P.
• You can design your own clothes (not the shape or anything, but you can add patterns or Pokemon images onto them, similar to how Tierno has vanillite on his shirt). You have to have seen the Pokemon in order to get it put onto a shirt. I am not sure if you can put any Pokemon on a shirt, but so far many of the early Pokemon work.
• The 5th gym is Dark type and the gym leader is tough!

 

[Hiatus]

The save game function takes substantially less time than previous games.

Their saving speed was already quite fast, so I'm not exactly sure why they had to make it any faster. What they should've done was implement an auto-save feature, which would save the game for us in the background every time we made some sort of an achievement, such as earning a new gym badge, receiving an important key item, reaching a new location, or obtaining a new HM. This way, if we ever turned our games off without saving, we would never have to worry. d:
