I kinda like the Dragon immunity, as well as giving Steel some more uses.

[Sakura Leic]

Yeah I wouldn't mind giving Poison and Steel type attacks more use, it's just pointless to give an immunity to Dragon like that.

RUMORS

- Fairy will be a new type weak to Poison and Steel, immune to Dragon, super effective against Dragon, Dark, and Fighting, and Fire and Psychic-type Pokemon take half damage from it.
- Sylveon is Fairy-type. Some older Pokemon will be reclassified to Fairy, such as Mawile (Steel/Fairy).
- Mewtwo has two new formes, not just one. Both are activated via items.
- The professor's English name is Patrice.
- The Starter final evolutions are Fire/Psychic, Grass/Fighting, and Water/Dark.
- The first Gym is Bug, the second is Fairy, and the fourth is Fighting.
- A few attacks will be dual-typed.
- There will be a new type of battling style that Flying-type Pokemon and Pokemon with Levitate can participate in.
- You will be able to see a Pokemon's EVs at a certain in-game facility. You will be able to boost the EVs through mini-games. It will take about two hours to get one stat to max EVs.

It's sort of LONG overdue for a new Pokemon Type, but Fairy for all things? Interesting choice, which explains why Sylveon's type has remained unknown for some time. Fairy type seems a little overpowered considering it can take on Dragon and Dark easily but they needed something to even the playing field so I'm excited for this new type.

Mewtwo has TWO forms? So the movie is only showing one or is this second form going to appear in the end and is currently hidden? I'm not sure about this rumor...

So no more Fire and Fighting type? FINALLY! I have nothing against that dual type but for a long time most of the newer generation of Fire Starter Pokemon ended up being Fire and Fighting while the other two had some different Dual Types at times or just a Single Type. And it's a Fire and Psychic type? It looks like Victini finally has company! ^_^

And Grass and Fighting? I don't recall any other Pokemon with a Dual Type like that... is this a first in Pokemon?

And the next Professor is called "Patrice"? That's a female name so another female Professor?

And a new Battling Style for Flying Type and with Levitate? I'm intrigued I wonder what it will be! And now there will be attacks that will be Dual-Types? So that means more new strategic options will be available this time around for battling which should be fun!

And we can FINALLY see EV stats without the use of a Cheat Device? Excellent! This will make EV and IV training a tad bit easier now.


And before I forget...

An Eevee 3DS XL will be available at the Pokemon Center just like the Charizard one! If only it was Lottery-base to get it, I know Vixy-Nyan would buy it in a heartbeat.

And Grass and Fighting? I don't recall any other Pokemon with a Dual Type like that... is this a first in Pokemon?

*points at Breloom of Gen3*

Also, there was an error about the rumours.
Final evos are Fire/Psychic, Grass/Dark, and Water/Fighting.

Of course, still rumours.

[Pyro]

Is it me or is it highly appropriate that the rumored Fairy-type is weak to Poison and Steel? Considering that Tinkerbell drank poison for Peter Pan (before she got better) and that cold iron is typically a weakness of fairies. I do not get the Dragon immunity though.

[VixyNyan]

Sadly I can't buy that XL unless it suddenly shows up on Yahoo Auctions. =w=

[Mirby]

I'm still against the idea of a new type.

Also because that recent list of rumors say that the Professor's English name is Patrice.

That is not a tree. Professors are named after trees.

[Sakura Leic]

I would be okay with a new type if it wasn't stupid and made sense.

[Mirby]

Same here.

[Phi]

[Police Girl]

Y looks cooler.

But I already committed to getting X.

I really wish US Boxart didn't have that ugly "Playable in 2D and 3D mode for ages 7+. See Back." box at the bottom. Seriously why can't they get rid of that?

[Pyro]

I would be okay with a new type if it wasn't stupid and made sense.

I was hoping for a "Light" type rather than "Fairy."

[Mirby]

If there was a new type, I'd be okay with Light.

just not FAIRY

cause, like, seriously

[Dr. Wily II]

Also because that recent list of rumors say that the Professor's English name is Patrice.

That is not a tree. Professors are named after trees.

How do you pronounce Patrice?

"Pah-treece"

Treece sounds like trees right?

There. Your tree.

[Police Girl]

New professor should be named Willow or something.

Or Pine.

[Mirby]

following the pattern

OAK ELM - 3 letters
BIRCH ROWAN - 5 letters
JUNIPER ??????? - 7 letters

yes, patrice is 7 letters, and it sounds kinda like trees, but... it's not outright a tree name. I'm still bettin' on Professor Madrone. or something else that isn't like a tree, but actually the name OF a tree.

[Quickman]

Hickory, perhaps?

[Mirby]

that name sounds like it would work better for a region based on the south

[Police Girl]

following the pattern

OAK ELM - 3 letters
BIRCH ROWAN - 5 letters
JUNIPER ??????? - 7 letters

I don't think that's a pattern, more of a coincidence.

Unless this was confirmed to be a pattern

[Mirby]

coincidences can often take the form of patterns

and this chain of coincidences has yet to be broken

also another chain of coincidences:
even-numbers generations bring new eeveelutions

sure, eevee originated in gen1, but gen2 brought espeon and umbreon, gen 4 brought leafeon and glaceon, and currently we have gen6 bringing sylveon.

Hopefully, gen8 will give us either steel or dragon eevees.

[Hypershell]

EDIT: Plus an immunity to dragon would be stupid because Dragon is only super effective against Dragon.

Well, to be fair, Normal is super-effective against nothing and Ghost is immune to it.  That and Dragons (the good ones) tend to be more about bulldozing with raw power than about type advantages.

But I agree, a Dragon immunity would suck.  I enjoyed Outrage being, you know, useful.  Rule it out for fear of switch-ins and we're quite possibly stuck with frikkin' Dragon Claw, unless somebody threw a new attack in there...

Also, I applaud any efforts to make Steel worth something offensively, but we ALL know Poison isn't going anywhere when it comes to type effectiveness.  Poison attacks exist for Poison status, that's pretty much it.  Further, if ANY new type is to exist for the sake of "game balance", then Ice types had damn well better resist it.

[Dr. Wily II]

Immunities are moot after Miracle Eye anyways... So yea.

[Protoman Blues]

Rumors:

Pancham evolves into Pangoro in the early level 30s. In order to evolve Pancham into Pangoro, you need to have one other Dark-type Pokemon in your party. Pangoro's type is Fighting/Dark.

A Pokemon named Inkay evolves into Malimar. To evolve it, you have to hold your 3DS upside-down when it levels up (the 3DS has an accelerometer and gyroscope, so it can detect that). Malimar's type is Dark/Psychic.

A Psychic-type Pokemon named Espurr (ESP + purr) evolves into Meowstick (Meow + mystic?). (Sounds like Psychic-type cats. Meowstick's name sounds too similar to Meowth to me though.)

Like in B/W you have two rivals - one is friendly and the other is competitive. Your rival that is more friendly gives you his/her fully evolved starter Pokemon after you beat the game.

Another professor named Sycamore gives you either Bulbasaur, Charmander, or Squirtle.
Even though it shows the player riding on a Gogoat in the new trailer, players can't ride on their own Pokemon. What was shown is just an alternate way of getting around Lumiose City and it only works with Gogoat.

HMs still exist but there's a lot less of them.

Players will be able to see their Pokemon's EVs (probably through the same in-game facility mentioned in the other post).

A new move, Belch, is a Poison-type attack that has a base power of 120. The user must consume a held Berry to perform it.

Draining Kiss is a Fairy-type attack that heals the user for the same amount of damage performed. It has a base power of 60.

If the previously revealed forme of Mewtwo can be said to look roughly similar to Mewtwo's original design, the second supposed form of Mewtwo can be said to look roughly/vaguely similar to Mew's design.

In case you missed our correction the other day, the Starters' final evolutions are Fire/Psychic, Grass/Dark, and Water/Fighting.

[Sakura Leic]

Where do you get these rumors, some of them are crazy.
