Pokemon Generation VI: X/Y & Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire

[spoiler][/spoiler]

I guess all the other legendaries in the game are going to be older ones... oh well, since you can't even get Pokemon from the older games until December that's not too bad.

[Sakura Leic]

At least there's not an overload of new legendary Pokemon, yet.

[Dr. Wily II]

Yet indeed.

Very curious for the event legends...

[VirusChris]

So we haven't even see the Legendary Kalos Trio for this game yet? Hmm...

Man I want to play this SO bad (playing Rune Factory 4 atm, it's incredibly addicting) but I won't be able to pick up my reserves at my GameStop this weekend as I will be at Comic-Con. Leaving this Friday... I think I'll grab one of those plushies from Nintendo World while I'm at it.

[Quickman]

I'll need to pick up my reserve this weekend if I can get into town.  I can't wait!

I also can't wait for free Pokeswag!

[Sakura Leic]

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF Houndours are X exclusive!

EDIT: Also Mega Tyranitar and Mega Aggron.

Mega Tyranitar seems to just be a suped up version with both the same type and ability however Mega Aggron is Pure Steel and get's Filter which lessens the damage of Super Effective attacks.

[Mirby]

Don't be sad about that, Sakura. You have plenty of people here who could trade you some Houndours.

[Sakura Leic]

I want a Male and a Female to breed so I can raise my own and not worry about it being ahead of my Pokemon.  I know we get the Day Care in the main game.

Also some other stuff Serebii posted on the news page.

[spoiler]To start off, Jigglypuff and the Gothita line have got a new ability called Competitive, which boosts its Special Attack stat when one of their stats is lowered. Kecleon has a new ability called Protean that changes the Pokémon's type to the type of the move it just used. The latter is demonstrated in a new kind of battles "Inverse Battles" where the type effectiveness is inversed. This is only done in Route 18 against a Psychic. It's a daily battle

12:49: Weakness Policy: When held, it sharply increases the holder's Attack and Special Attack when it is hit by a move that is Super Effective
Assault Vest: When held, it raises Special Defense, but prevents the user from using Status moves
Safety Goggles: When held, this protects the holder from weather damage and powder moves
Ability Capsule (Costs 200BP): Switches between the Primary and Secondary abilities on the Pokémon
12:55: Xerneas has two forms, merely appearance changes. One, the one we know, is in battle, the other is somewhat diluted and is how it appears outside of battle
Friend Safari is located in the post-game. In it, it takes everyone on your friend list and makes them a specific type. When selected, Pokémon of that type appear (it'll take a while to catalogue, please bear with us). The Pokémon found here can have their Hidden Abilities. Unlike the Safari Zone, however, you can battle and use your own balls.
13:44: You can get give the Poké Radar later in the game
14:05: Legendary wise, the legendary birds of Kanto roam around Kalos, but seemingly flee before the menu even loads up. Will investigate further. Mewtwo is found in Pokemon Village
16:50: Froakie's Hidden Ability is Protean. Weather abilities such as Drought, Drizzle etc. now only last 5 turns.
In the Battle Maison, there are four leaders, each one specialising in one of the four standard battles (Sky and Inverse are not included). Will try and get up to a 21 streak at a later point to grab their teams
21:30: It seems Pokémon in Hordes also have a chance of having their Hidden Ability
22:49: Hordes can be triggered more often with things such as Honey, Sweet Scent etc. Considering they often have Pokémon that can't be found anywhere else, or with their Hidden Abilities, it's a good way to go [/spoiler]

Don't be sad about that, Sakura. You have plenty of people here who could trade you some Houndours.

Yeah, I'll make sure to nab a few.  I have my eye on Heracross, Larvitar, and Dragalge, although something tells me that any of them would be more difficult to catch...

[Sakura Leic]

I can give someone a Skrelp since I plan to use that on my team.

[Dr. Wily II]

[tornado fang] yeah Mega Aggron. I'm very pleased.

[Sakura Leic]

It's too bad Arons are exclusive to X for me.

[Rin]

Team Flare's boss battle theme is pretty [tornado fang]ing cool.

[Sakura Leic]

Oh I never posted the approximate calculations of the Pokemon's base stats that Smogon is making here.

[TheOnly]

Am going to pre-order this game. I lost interest after Gen 4 but after the trailer to the Pokémon movie with Mega Meetwo it makes me want to play Pokémon once more.

[Quickman]

I'll catch you a few Houndours, Sakura. 

I'm actually hoping to get an Adamant Mewtwo, as I want a challenge!  But, I won't reset the game just to get the weird nature I want.  Whatever he has, I'll take.

Two days, two days, two days, can't wait to start training!

[Dr. Wily II]

Who knows? Maybe the first encounter will be an Adamant. Then we will know it's all pre-destined.

[Sakura Leic]

I think Mewtwo is post game, but he's definitely in the game.

[Quickman]

Either way, I want a weird Mewtwo with screwed-up stats.  I will mold that underdog into a winner!

[Archer]

[Reaperoid]

EDIT: Also Mega Tyranitar and Mega Aggron.

Oh nice, they confirmed them. They were previously seen in leaks as dummy balloons in Super Training, but its nice to actually see them now.

[Quickman]

>Mewtwo
>Ever an underdog even with a bad nature

I'm a lousy trainer.  Anything is an underdog in my hands.

[Archer]

Some stuff that's been revealed:

[spoiler]




[/spoiler]

The game is out in a few places now (on the eStore at least) like Japan since it's already the 12th there.

[Sakura Leic]

 Really need that Houndour now, especially since it seems that Houndoomite is exclusive to Y for some reason.

[DarkWaltz]

Guy at Gamestop told me that they're not doing a midnight release though. I bet you Wal-Mart will sell them at 12:01 but I already reserved my copy at Gamestop. Amusingly, my shift leader, Will is getting X and we're both working Saturday night. Pokemon battle at opposite ends of the Bowling alley. 

I might not be able to sleep tonight. >.>
