Wow

 

Looks like X & Y will outsell the launch of Black & White 1 in Japan

[OmegaForte 1,674]

Something tells me I might need to camp out at night for Pokemon XY 1st day release at Nintendo World. I do not want to deal with BW 1's bullshit event with lines that extended blocks away that they needed 3 lines, and even then it was too long.

This is why I love Amazon.

Considering how popular Pokemon is in Japan I wouldn't be surprised if X and Y outsells Black and White.

[OmegaForte 1,674]

Yup, but NW events give a lot of freebies that Amazon or even Gamestop wouldn't. Also I go to battle other players with my friends and kick ass.

Three new Pokemon Mega Evolutions: 

 

Is it me or did the theme in the 1st 20 secs sound like the beginning of "Dismiss" from Birth by Sleep?

This may already be placed in this, but...

 

 

Fennken is Fire/Fairy (you see fairy dust come out of the ears)

 

Chespin is Grass/Dark (you see him fighting off some bad thoughts, although he's destined to be bad)

 

Froakie is Water/Flying (The bubbles he inflates become bigger through evolution)

 

Plus, in the video game trailer, the second move each of the starters use corresponds to their second type.

 

Fairy type will be weak to dark, strong on flying. This way the legendaries are also evenly matched.

 

I think the fairy dust COULD be cinders, and flares, but...

1) It's flares, it's not fairy dust. He's not fighting off bad thoughts, he is flexing. Froakie is just having bigger foam.

2) I don't think that should tell you their types, it's just a characterisitics. Just because Oshawott always wanted to fight doesn't make him a part Fighting type.

3) The Legendaries aren't always evenly matched, see Palkia and Dialga or even better, Groudon and Kyogre. 

4) The second move is something every Pokémon gets, not all Pokémon are going to learn moves that are just going to reference it's type. Emboar can learn Scald, doesn't make it a Fire/Water type.

I hope Pikachu gets a Mega Evolution. I don't know why he wouldn't, but I fear...since he wasn't revealed as one, and they're the most well-known Pokemon, not sure...

[Dio Brando 5,810]

Raichu should get a Mega evolution since it's the last evolution stage for Pikachu,it would make much more sense since all of the evolved pokemon that got the Mega evoltuin are in their last stage of evolutions(E.g:Ampharos)

Yeah but if it is Pikachu then Ash can use it in the show...would make scene that way 

[Dio Brando 5,810]

Not really.

 

The games matter more than the show.

 

It would be non-sensical to give Pikachu a Mega Evolution just so Ash can give him a new look

 

Pikachu is the mascot so don't expect Ash to evolve it.....He didn't do against Lt.Surge and he won't do it here

Isn't the Mega-Evolution temporary?

[Dio Brando 5,810]

Isn't the Mega-Evolution temporary?

In the games yes

 

But the anime sometimes have slightly different rules than the games

 

Example:In the anime,Slowpoke can evolve into Slowbro if Shellder bite his tail,or Slowking if if Shellder bite his head

 

Unlike the games where Slowpoke evolves into Slowking while holding the item,King's Rock

Well, the Anime CAN have rules the same as the game.

[Shana09 5,769]

Well, the Anime CAN have rules the same as the game.

 

The Anime universe, Manga Universe and Game universe are all separate. They can have some rules that overlap but they aren't the same at all. 

 

The Anime Universe appeals to the younger audience and teach them about Pokémon.

The Manga Universe appeals to the older audience (At least 14+) and give them a more detailed story.

The Game Universe appeals to both audiences and gives them a story and child friendly components. 

 

Sometimes the Games Mechanics wont work in the Animes Mechanics, there are different ways of explaining it but all end in the same product. In the Anime it can be more of a form change activated by the user, but in the game you have to hold the item. You barely see Pokémon holding an item in the Anime so there really isn't a stretch that it could be acting like a form change, like Mewtwo did in "Extremespeed Genesect: Mewtwo Awakens". But then again, we have to wait till it is shown in the Anime to tell. 

[Isamu Kuno 2,512]

Found this cool theory, this seems really sweet. 

 

Plus Absol looks more feminine, so thus the "GODDESS of Disaster" might be in play with this. 

That actually makes perfect sense seeing as how the new legendary mascotts are also based on Nordic mythology.

 

As for those noting that Mega Blazikin will be OP. I think thats okay seeing has how it can only be obtained through the special event at launch and not normal play.

 

I'm somewhat disappointed that Mega Kangaskahn's appearance it the same as it's nomal form, just with the Joey walking around. It should be more impressive like the others. Too bad they had to scrap baby Kankaskahn evolving into Cubone.

But then again, Mega Kangiskhan. 

[Dio Brando 5,810]

But then again, Mega Kangiskhan. 

It can attack twice yeah,but Mega Blaziken with Sword Dance and Close Combat can  literally RAPE an entire team if it's played correctly,especially with Baton Passers.

Pokemon X & Y Japanese Pre-orders Hit 20K In Just Two Days:

 

There’s a digital tidal wave occurring for Pokémon X & Y in Japan, where pre-orders have climbed the virtual ladder to a whopping 260,000 sales, excluding bundles. Pre-orders were opened in Japan just two days before the Media Create sales were configured,revealing that the latest Pokémon adventure on the 3DS is, quite possibly, set to be the biggest. In fact, Black and White 2 reached spectacular heights of 1.2 million pre-orders before it was released in Japan, so Pokémon X & Y is well on its way to breaking its predecessor’s final score.

 

The sheer size of the pre-orders, though, could have something to do with a certain bonus that’s got Japanese Pokémon fans all the more excited for its release. While stocks last, Japan can get its hands on special Xerneas or Yveltal figures, depending on which game they purchase. Also included in the bonus is a clear file folder boasting artwork from the game. And for those fans who love to go the extra mile and pre-order both games, they can get their hands on a World Art Book and CD. Pokémon X & Y will be released worldwide on October 12.
