This could be another scenario like with Munchlax/Kecleon tbh, where they're just hyping new Pokémon already mid-generation. But then again, GameFreak have proven they're moving forward and switching things up with each new release, this could be a third version/sequel with new Pokémon or heck a new generation.

I doubt it's the latter though, as Gen VI has a lot of mileage still to go, especially with Volcanion and Zygarde. I'm gonna stick to this being a Munchlax situation for now.

Pokemon Fandom: It Begins, Act II

Ok, so I got two crack-theories going on. One is more likely than the other. It's either Game Freak's belated tribute to Robin Williams' Flubber movie, or it could be a... hold on to your butts... a Zygarde pre-evolution?! The second one I got the idea from someone suggesting earlier that Zygarde's name could be derived from 'zygote'.

Or, like somebody had suggested, we'll be getting a new batch of mid-Gen Pokemon.

REGARDLESS of these things... Game Freak is pulling our legs once again with surprises, and now I'm even more stoked.

maybe the next game will introduce some gen 7 Pokemon.

Wouldn't that technically be Generation 7 though and not Generation 6? I think its better to assume that maybe there's a certain number of Generation 6 Pokémon that weren't put in X & Y and saved for a possible Kalos sequel/third version, or like was mentioned above maybe the next games take place in a new region (Generation 7) with focus on Zygarde.

I guess...

And I hate to be THAT GUY, but what if Strange Souvenir....actually plays a role here? I mean, if there were just a new Zygarde form then I'd find it unlikely, but with the introduction of what seems to be a brand new Pokemon, who knows.

Or.....maybe its not new? It has eyes, and is green. And its featured right before the supposed Zygarde forme. What if its Zugarde"s eyes? Or one of its many eyes. Makes sense that it could watch the world from its cave if it had little watchful blobs around the world.

Seeing as how unpredictable everything has been this generation I wouldn't discount that being a possibility.

OMG that sounds pretty cool actually.

So it'd technically not be a Pokemon? Or would it still be classified as Pokemon? Would it be called Zygarde? Or get its own unique name?

That'd be pretty creative on Game Freak's part if they did something like that. The little blob looks pretty cute though and that supposed Zygarde form/mega looks very menacing, maybe the little guy was actually a New Pokémon and was trying to get away from it, lol.

Also I don't know if this has any significance but the thing was looking through one of the "O's" in Pokémon before revealing itself and making its way off-screen, its probably nothing though.

I dunno. I guess of its Zygarde's eyes, its still part of Zygarde, so thwre is no classification. The real question would be, would Zugarde coming out of its cave have the Zygarde blobs disappear, or have them cluster into Zygarde for a new forme? Would then make the Zygote naming theme really pbvious, with its" zygote eyes" evolving it. Could also be how it gains an Arrow forme and a Wave Forme, the zygote eyes help it evolve based on the info gathered of the respective legendary, and the best ways to counter em. Zygarde Arrow evolves Lands Wrath into Thousand Arrows and is a huge Naga like creature who can't be taken down easily. Meanwhile Zygarde Waves evolves Lands Wrath into Thousand Waves, and becomes Dragon/Flying. Xerneas is gonna have a hard time dealing with a flying Zygarde...

Maybe they weren't kidding when they talked about reverting to simplicity. :I

You just made me burst out with laughter with this comment. xD

Yeah the little thing looks very simple but we haven't seen any official art yet so I'll hold off making any type of judgment, lol.

No idea why people expect to see south Kalos with new Pokémon when XY so heavily hinted at a faraway region.

Zygarde being carried over to the next generation is a simple solution, folks. It can be heavily promoted without being the mascot.

Its not that people don't want nor get that, its just that Zygarde's flavor text explicitly mentions it being the protector of the Kalos ecosystem. Its kinda hard to rectify that in a faraway region without simply retconning it. I suppose its a question of the importance in seeing Zygarde protect its native ecosystem.

I also remember what "faraway region" ended up being in BW2, so I'm keeping expectation at a reasonably low measure. Banking on mid gen pokes, since that could explain the low introduction number. Other than Mega evolution, of course. I can see Game Freak considering an expansion of mid gen pokes as something big enough to shake up the formula.

On another note & no offense to him, but I consider Mitchman's speculation as the worst case scenario, as that would mean no new Pokes and a likely typical third version(s). Best case scenario, is the giant not even being Zygarde, and we've all fallen for a classic red herring.

No offence taken. I understand whh it being Zygardes eyes is dull, and I kinda want the New Pokemon thing to pan out. Im just going with botg sides to keep things balanced is all. As for the S region, I agree with El. Zygarde is Kalos related through and through no need to have it far awa from its homeland. And South Kalos works for that if New Pokemon do happen. The landmass of France that is unused is practixally as big as Kalos, and some of Spains borderlands, and the alps could be used if needed I think. Either way, I think whatever is on its way os gonna be a masive change to the series, for them to have started teasing from the movie preview of all things, which is usually never a source of news.

Along with the flashing green thing, another viewer of the preview said that it has a diamond shaped feature that blinks green on its hand. It's 99% likely to be Zygarde at this point then any other Pokémon.

The new off screen shot of the preview from someone who saw the movie made it clear already that its Zyharde, but yeah cool to know that its still flashing amd the hexagons aren't set. I really want to see what it fully looks like, those thin needles coming out of the crown add some cool detail, as well as confirming my theory that this is the Arrow Forme.

I think people need to calm down before declaring this as a new Pokemon. If you look at the fact it's said to be green and is nothing more than an eye shown with the Pokemon logo, while Zygarde in the part that follows we know is green, it just seems likely it's one of those "trailer" things they do. Though I do find it hard to believe that the Zygarde form will have just a basic dot for an eye and not something more complex to fit it, so I guess how that eye fits in remains to be seen. Maybe it has two normal eyes and a third basic eye in the split on its forehead?

Call me a doubting Thomas, but I'm not throwing myself under Masuda's bus and believing this is a whole new Pokemon without something more than a green eye in a trailer to promote Zygarde.

Time will tell. Be more patient people.
Only one eye? when we will get one with multiple eyes and not with many heads?

I'm with Silktree here. There probably won't be anymore games this generation, since ORAS completed the Dex for this gen. So that means that next games will probably be Gen VII and the Zygarde question will simply be carried over to those games.

Regardless of region or generation of the next games, I think both the thing in Corocoro and Blobby are linked to Zygarde somehow.
