Pokémon X and Y! (Official Discussion Topic)

[Maelstrom]

Jackie! Magic must defeat magic.

Shamans exorcising and fighting off evil spirits an' shit. SE against ghost would make sense to me.

[Godot]

No one brought up the rest of the news?

You can have battles in the sky with pokemon that are flying type or have the levitate ability!

3 new pokes,

A water poison seahorse

A water type lobster

And the evolution to the robin, it becomes a speed demon fire flying

Also there was a screen shot showing off spot pass data... the sprite images to describe spot passed players makes me even more curious about the customization elements of the game

There were sprites with different hats, hair styles hair colors and skin tones... kinda stoked about that

[Shenzou]

I now have the biggest dilemma of my life, go with Fennekin and go with a double fire type combination or go with Chespin to balance everything. Screw it I'm still going with Fennekin.

[Sarleeko]

There's a fire lion cub Pokemon! Maybe if I can get that I can convince myself to go with the grass starter like usual and not the adorable little fox.

[Godot]

4 new mons

A fire Lion

A Fairy type Mondragora

And the 2 previous forms to the moth

Your 4 "rivals" revealed the main protags are named Collum and Serena

The name of the first town and gym leader revealed

The leader's name is Viola and she uses Bugs

[Shenzou]

I think its Japanese name is Shishiko, but a fire neko..... A FIRE NEKO..... THAT'S WHERE I DRAW THE LINE.... Chespin, my man you are now officially my starter for pokemon Y, if and only if I can get that fire neko early on in-game, cause I'm pretty damn weak when it comes to nekos....

[Godot]

Ps

Right now I am looking at making my team Chespin, the bat, and the lion

I am gonna prob do whith most new games, try to use stuff I normally don't use... even though I am always tempted to use Sandshrew and machop on my team >>

They also mentioned Rhyhorn again... I think I may be using it

Now if only all the past nekos would be available lol

[Shenzou]

If only, but at this rate they better have the gym leaders be a challenge. And I have some high hopes for the evil organization that will try to take over the region and what not.

I wonder if they'll be a gang or political or something new? Maybe Robespierre's reign of terror with a Pokemon twist? lol

[Shenzou]

I mean for me when Black and White with their sequels had some serious plot twist, like they gave you an actual reason to not like Ghetsis at all. And at least in my opinion have some respect for Hugh, just running up and punching a Neo-Team Plasma member (Probably done for the older Pokemon players by Game Freak or something). Either way it sets the bar pretty high plot wise for X and Y.

[Maelstrom]

This is France. Team X is gonna roll up, people will riot without knowing why, and heads will roll. Ooh, chandelure, say hello to your new best buddy, the guillotine pokemon. =P

A team that will cause people to revolt against the gym leaders and elite four! They will shun Arceus and immerse themselves in math and science to make humans and Pokemon greater! If they have characters similar to people in France's history like Robespierre, Napoleon, and Marie Antoinette I will laugh.

For this I will <3 you.

[Shenzou]

One thing I've been wondering about is that, from what I can remember from the information that was given out at e3 and what could be found on youtube, is that they're taking out the friend code aspect in Pokemon X&Y or something like that.

[T-Raz]

So whats everyone's opinions on having 4 rivals?=O

Still seems like they're gonna use it to me.

FC for friends, acquaintances for probably GTS and trading random people who you choose not to register as a friend, and passerby is obviously the spotpass stuff.

What kind of things you could do/get with spot pass?

[Shenzou]

Well I think it's pretty bad ass to have 4 rivals, one probably that is an easy win, two would probably be a challenge but not too much of a problem to beat, and the last one would probably give you a good run for your money.

[The Fush]

We're not gonna go a single event without them ;_;

[T-Raz]

With having somewhat 2 rivals on Black/White there were a LOT of Rival battles, it got out of hand for me.@_@ & with basically 4 on X & Y.......

[Sarleeko]

I want to see what their starters are going to be. Is there going to be more than one of each starter or are some of them already going to have one of the Pokemon from the first route? I like rival battles though, good chance for experience.

[Godot]

If you read the page on rivals, you would find out that they aren't rivals at all...

They are your travel companions... the only one that you probably will be fighting is Serena/callum

The rest are along for the ride with other interests in mind... they are all essentially on an epic road trip...

Which is an interesting twist, this adventure your not going to be traveling alone

[Sarleeko]

From Serebii, it looks like you still battle them, but they also have other benefits.

[Guest]

X and Y has gotten me so stoked, my god.

I'm torn, though D=. I was gonna use Fennekin, but now there's the Fledgling being Fire Flying and the little Lion being Fire too, WHAT WILL I DOOOO D=.

Uh.. Chespin - Fledgling - Little Lion Dude cannot remember name. Well uh. Sounds good to me. I remember using 2 of the same type before, and I need to remember that it's ingame; everything works =3. But anyway.

Fairy Type? YESH.

Air Battles? YESH.

Horde Battles? BRING IT ON, SUCKAHS. I am sooo happppy for thiiiis.

BUT THEN. My IRL Pokemon friend just said to me; X AND Y ARE CRAP, RED AND BLUE ARE THE BEST.

Meanwhile I stand there, resisting the urge to say; "Red and Blue were good, but my god, X and Y are going to be better imho."

I mean, I love the First Generation, don't get me wrong. But I feel like I'm going to prefer the newer games. Alright, brb guys. Gotta go set up shields before the nostalgia jerks get here >_<.

You're safe, can't be a gen wunner and swag about a PO-based site without some serious powers of unobservation
