6th Gen Volcanion officially announced!

[Hikamaru]

I'm sure you won't have to wait as long compared to people from elsewhere since Japan always gets priority when it comes to event distributions. Granted, it is the birthplace of Pokemon so it's a logical excuse there.

Just speculation of course, but I think that we will see a Mega Volcanion down the line. I'm glad that we're finally going to be able to get him after like 3 years! Volcanion kinda reminds me of Volcarona for some reason.

I love Volcanion's design, despite it being one of those Pokemon that just feels like you can't imagine it occurring naturally in the Pokemon world. It's just cool.

However, I am extremely angered by the fact that I knew about this Pokemon existing before ORAS was even announced. It's been about a whole year of this Pokemon being spoiled for use because leakers have to go around and ruin everything rather than letting us all have a little FUN and receive the official news for ourselves. And it's not like you could just AVOID the leaks, it was everywhere! Thanks, leakers, for ruining yet another Pokemon.

The event will definitely be available for download for both X/Y and OR/AS.

It is annoying when you want to avoid spoilers, but then again this is the internet and it's difficult to avoid the spoilers when you most want to.

Anyone else think gamefreak is stupid to think that we haven't known about this thing for 2 years and that the "secret Pokemon" asspulls they do in the spirit of the old reveals is dumb.

I mean, it's like seeing your christmas present in february, then unwrapping it in december and acting like it's a big awesome surprise to please your parents.

Haha true~ I'm pretty sure they know we've known about it, they just have to sorta "go through the motions" of a grand reveal. In fact, if it hadn't already been leaked, I think they would have made a much bigger deal out of this reveal. They would have teased it and drawn out the reveal a lot more, I'd imagine.

I'm not entirely sure why you'd be angered. Pokemon hacking has been going on for a very very long time, and even if the leakers hadn't announced it on the side you would have eventually run into it trading or battling others.

Though I will admit Game Freak should have just said "Well we WOULD say we had this new event Pokemon to reveal... but it looks like you guys already found it. Good job. Bet you didn't find this though!" and just threw everybody a curve ball.

I mean, even if hacking has been going on for a long time, it does take the surprise out of it, in a way. It's of course always going to happen, but I do have to admit that it'd be a bit more fun if we had been getting a brand new Pokemon reveal.

Though I will admit Game Freak should have just said "Well we WOULD say we had this new event Pokemon to reveal... but it looks like you guys already found it. Good job. Bet you didn't find this though!" and just threw everybody a curve ball.

I've been hoping for something like that to happen for a while haha. Who knows, maybe they'll still throw us a curveball and we'll never even see it coming o.o

oh man over a year later after it was spoiled and we finally get this guy. I'm excite. Haven't even gotten Hoopa yet so there's a bit for me to look forward to as a collector!

People are excited over its battle potential and I'm just here.. wanting to add it to my gigantic collection that barely fits much else. :D
