That's more of a relief than anything. Dang was that thing Purugly. The more accurate sketches he put up today look a lot better.

http://serebii.net/newpokemon4.jpg

Seeing full-color fanarts of this guy based on eyewitness accounts, it seems like a distant relative of the Solosis line. Red organelle on the inside, shapeless gooey green body on the outside... Wouldn't be surprised if it was a counterpart, honestly. It actually fits better as a pre-evolution for Reuniclus (which has red organelles in its arms) than Solosis or Duosion.

Either way, despite my resistance to having that hulking figure be Zygarde, that's clearly the case if the thing is flashing green hexagons all over its body. Sorry, everyone.

And not that it matters, but I'm strongly on the side of generation 6.5... Southern Kalos, 72 more Pokémon, 8 new leaders, a new League, and maybe a post-game journey up to the North to face the Kalos league.

I completely agree with your post in the hopes of something unique with a posse 6.5 southern Kalos. Can you please provide some links to these fanarts?

Huh.

I read this idea that basically, the white and black eyes are the same size. The white part around the black eye is actually just the skin. Based on what someone saw from the film at least. Could be bull, but it makes a lot of sense, and symmetrical eyes with an illusion of assymetrical design is also brilliant. And if we go by the pic for this idea, it instantly becomes more Pokemon like.

It's definitely cute! I hope it's a new Pokémon, but it has a strong chance of being related to Zygarde!

I don't think I've seen anyone else put out this idea, but what if we have another Carbink and Diancie situation. This idea would sit firmly in the gen 6.5 camp as it would need there to b a second set of Pokes. Anyway, it would have this new blob as somewhat related to Zygarde, but keep it's individuality as a Pokemon. Any thoughts?

That's an interesting thought, whether or not its likely. I definitely respected gf for carbink/diancie. That was a fun way to shake up relatedness in pokemon. A gen 6.5 would be really cool too, but I'm not holding my breath. Back when ORAS was being advertised as a "whole new adventure" I thought they might do something fun and make a south Korea region accessible from Hoenn, withnew pokemon and room for volcanion to shine. Look what happened there. I mean, I knew then that it was unlikely, but so's this. Still, t would be so cool!

Carbink and Diancie would be an interesting relationship if they'd have actually done something with it in the gameplay, but currently they've done absolutely nothing with it and they function as separate Pokemon.

Actually, I did think of that when people started tossing around the possibility of this blob somehow being Zygarde's eyes. But that wouldn't be a Carbink/Diancie situation. Carbink mutates to become Diancie. Much like how Manaphy produces mutated offspring (Phione), or how Mew with birth defects are born as Mewtwo.

This Blob, if in fact a body part of Zygarde, while still being its own Pokémon would be more akin to the Unown-Arceus connection, since Unown are all but confirmed to be Arceus' 1000 arms.

I don't know that I buy Blob being anything related to Zygarde, however. Just because they're both green (with Blob being bright green and Zygarde being dark green, btw) doesn't mean they're related. This thing is clearly some sort of blob while Zygarde is a serpent.

I saw something yesterday speculating that the blob thing could just be a caricature of the Game Freak logo. I really wish that I saved the picture pointing out the similarities.

How meta would it be if Game Freak made a Pokémon based off of their company logo? I mean after all, Game Freak exists in-game, Nintendo products exist in-game and it would appear that Pokémon games exist in-game, so it wouldn't be that far off for the game's GF to have based their logo off of an existing Pokémon.

I sincerely hope that it isn't a new Pokémon. I know they were talking about simplifying things, but a green blob? That is just ridiculous. Someone needs to take some pictures of the thing so we can speculate easier than with a crude drawing.

Not that ridiculous. We already have a pink blob, why not a green one?

We have pink (ditto), Purple (grimer/muk), green (solosis & co.), and grey (castform) blobs. Some pokemon have really simple designs, some have really complex designs, and that's been the case since gen I. Stop trying to use designs of pokemon in your crusade to say how the franchise is going downhill or whatever.

That said, I'm starting to really hope that the next games are prequels that tie X/Y/ORAS together. I was thinking about Hoopa's rings in ORAS today, and I really want answers! It will probably end up being like Mew/Mewtwo lore from Gen I though. Just kinda scratched, but not really explained. If I get my way and get prequels though, what do you think the likelihood is that the 6.5 people will be right? I like both theories, but I don't see them fitting together, and that makes me sad.

Just a few clarification questions from myself to anyone, regarding the bolded topic above...I haven't really played a lot of ORAS lately, but I do remember that they appear, with that sexy strange message asking you to stick your hand deep into a hole, and pull out a random legendary right? Do we know absolutely anything about the correlation between Hoopa and these rings, and why Legendary Pokemon appear in them? And why they're in the Hoenn region?

I really want to see what's behind those doors at the powerplant, but then they could remain unexplained like the far left and far right rooms in Mr Backlots mansion in Sinnoh.

Oh and the Ghost GIrl, and that note at the train station, what's going on there we need to know, Pokemon Z please!!!

It's implied that Hoopa is summoning legendaries for its own amusement because it's characterized as a trickster. I'm not sure why Hoopa is apparently in Hoenn, though.

The implication, in my opinion, is that Hoopa's *technically* been around since gen III, and was responsible for the mirage island and mirage tower. That Hoopa's implementation in gen VI really existed to serve gen III remakes, and that it's not really a gen VI pokemon per se. Which makes my desire for a prequel tying the two together all the stronger.

I also like the idea that we might get to see the mining in Terminus cave come to a halt because of the terror that is Zygarde's new forme. Btw, the "terminus"-Z thing was pretty fun on gf's part.

You're joking, right? Ditto, Grimer, Muk, Gulpin, Swalot, Castform, Shuppet, Burmy, Phione, Manaphy, Solosis and Munna and Goomy are all blobs.

Well, the rings match Hoopa's in both color and interior (the swirling purple-black chaos on the island rings matches the animation of both Hyperspace moves). We don't know exactly why Hoopa's brought all the legends to Hoenn canonically though there are some real world reasons why this could be. Short answer is they wanted a way for the player to catch all Pokémon. Long answer is maybe they came up with the idea for the Hoopa movie while ORAS was still in development and decided to reference the movie (in which two Hoopa summon legendaries to fight each other) as the Mirage Islands and Hoopa summoning all legendaries to Hoenn.

No idea why both Hoopa and its Prison Bottle are in Hoenn. My own theory is that in fact the team that controlled Hoopa ended up in Route 111 (they were transported to the desert by Hoopa) or they ended up in Orre, said to be close to Hoenn, and both the Prison Bottle and Hoopa somehow made their way to Hoenn. Maybe with Looker?

Actually, I have a theory about it that also relates to Volcanion (who's probably going to be getting something for this game). Usually the last event Pokemon of the generation has multiple forms, so if that pattern were to hold, Volcanion would get multiple new forms in the next game. I thought about what they could do with Volcanion's concept that could justify multiple forms and I came up with the idea of forms that deal with different energy sources. Guess what else in the game deals with multiple energy sources?

You're right, I wouldn't put anything past them.

Stop trying to use designs of pokemon in your crusade to say how the franchise is going downhill or whatever.

When did I say the franchise was going downhill? I'm not on a crusade, I just think that this green blob thing is a disappointment if it is the first Pokemon being shown from a new generation.

You're joking, right? Ditto, Grimer, Muk, Gulpin, Swalot, Castform, Shuppet, Burmy, Phione, Manaphy, Solosis and Munna and Goomy are all blobs.
I'm not joking. I realize that they are all blobs, just like I said above, why would they make this the first Pokemon shown from a new gen. They could have tried harder.
