Seeing as we are talking about potential new pokemon we'd like to see (but probably never get - sorry but it's the truth). I'm thinking a cassowary pokemon.
For those who don't know what a cassowary is, it's the size of an ostritch only without the neck that has a great horn on it's head.
AND. IT. IS. VICIOUS. AS. ALL. HECK. Seriously, do not get near this bird.
Cassowary Wikipedia Page

Basically a real life pokemon.
I think I would compare it more with a Terminator. Pokémon don't tend to follow you until you're down.

Here are what actual raptors may have looked like.

Weird, the image is broken in your post, but if I quote it I can see it. :confused:

EDIT: But if I post the quote, it's invisible again until I decide to edit my post. What kind of sorcery is this?:confused:

It was apparently too large an image for the server to handle, so I just deleted my post. Oh well.

Hi guys,

Don't you think that they late in showing the new video? I wonder about why? When they will do a new one?

It take a two months for past one and really it is aclong time. At least one more video or one more information.

I do wonder myself why wait longer than usual. It's not like witholding trailers or info doesn't stop them from dumping. There doesn't seem anything wrong with the gameplay so it's not like it's unpresentable. So yeah, I don't really know. Maybe for suspense?

It's been a good while since we had a female Water Type Gym Leader since Misty. Somehow I feel as if the Blackpool Town could have one.

^^ completely right and I do agree in everything. And really, we don't awk for a lot of information especialy if they have a lot of suprises but at least one of videos or one of information will be good.

Two months and still not no any another information.

I am wondering about is they don't really motivated for new season or what

* Lore about Mega Evolution was meant to be shown to us in XY, but we never got anything past "It's done with the power of friendship!" until ORAS. That's probably what made it feel so gimmicky. If you think about it, they could have put the thing about AZ's weapon and how it caused Mega Evolution into XY itself, which would have tied the plot together really nicely. I'm still salty they didn't.
They did, but it was just a few lines from Sycamore in the post-game.

Sycamore said:
Let's talk about Mega Stones briefly. My theory is that they're special stones irradiated by the light--the energy of the Legendary Pokemon Yveltal/Xerneas--fired from the ultimate weapon 3,000 years ago. And that's what I think they are. It's even possible that stones like Fire Stones were what turned into these Mega Stones.

You were exposed to the Legendary Pokemon's energy in Team Flare's secret HQ. And the Mega Ring has absorbed the power of the sundial. These two powers have combined to upgrade your Mega Ring.

There was a video I've seen that breaks down the entire February trailer from a graphics perspective. What we were shown is in no way presentable as a game, but it was enough for a teaser. I do expect them to show the more polished version once they do show something new.

Well, they showed that they were fixing the textures in the shirt pic, so I guess the graphics will get better.

On the topic of Fossils, I'd love to see Pokemon that were based off of prehistoric plants, like ferns and such. It feels strange how all we have are animal-based fossils, but no plant-based ones. I don't count Lileep/Cradily - They are more like animals in plant disguise.

Most likely that we'll get a new trailer around E3, along with a playable demo and Nintendo Treehouse coverage based on the days leading up to the release of XY and SunMoon.

I dunno about the playable demo part- the only game I can remember where they did that was Lets Go Pikachu and Eevee, and I think it’s because those were revisiting old territory story and Pokemon-wise and they wanted to show off the catching mechanic by letting people try it out for themselves. Demos for the main series games have traditionally been released closer to the release date, right?

Unless you mean a Treehouse official playing through some of the game for the stream- that seems much more likely to me.
