Re: Rumour Discussion and Speculation

Hey! Look at this theory about the basis for Xerneas and Yveltol, as well as for the unrevealed third legendary.

Re: Rumour Discussion and Speculation

Geomancy could be a 2 part move guys. First part is Xerneas reading the signs of the earth, and the second would be an earthquake it foresaw, or something like that.

An interesting theory, better than a lot of the gender bullshit I've seen suggested, but I'm not buying into it whole sale. Still, they might be on to something.

It does seem pretty strange and I don't fully understand it, but the resemblance is pretty uncanny.

Re: Rumour Discussion and Speculation

Saw this on pokejungle:

"Alright well, I'm a bottom level NoA employee. I usually help with web design and updating the X and Y site. Its been really hectic translating X and Y in time for the 12th so security is almost non existent. I know close to nothing about the new games but here is what I've managed to learn.

Flabebe has an ability to pick up a new flower when you run through a garden or flower patcher.
The new way to evolve Inkay is called "Gyro-evolution".
Another Pokemon evolves through gyro-evolution by shaking the 3DS when it levels up past 36 (it goes from a staight line looking thing to a hectic wire looking thing).
Gyro-evolution and a new game mechanic called Super Training will be revealed next week along with Litleo's final evolution and a second evolution to Flabebe.
There will be another Eeveelution name Drakeon. It's Dragon-type and it evolves through a new item called the Scale Fragment. You can find these in cave and a man in a small area called Florian Town give you one.
Some items now use a process called Infusion. The Scale Fragment and the Fairy Wing both use this method into Sylveon and Drakeon. Infusion acts just like using an item on a Pokemon but I guess there's a fancy animation where the item breaks down into little glowing orbs and they go into the Pokemon.
Super Training is a method of training that you do in an area like Safari Zone. Each pokemon in there has double their normal EV yield.
Also, some retconned Fairy types are Mawile, Milotic, Chansey's whole line, and all of Clefairy's evlution line.

That's all the information I have for right now. I'll see if I can get some more out of him later. Also Flabebe's ability and Litleo's evolution is what's going to be shown on Pokemon Smash next week on the 27th. The site is scheduled to update on the 28th.

So obviously we know how correct this particular rumor was.

Re: Rumour Discussion and Speculation

Of course there will be a Dragon Eeveelution in the rumors because that's perfectly believable. Of course it is.

Re: Rumour Discussion and Speculation

Now there's so many rumors saying there'll be a second eeveelution, and I just find it hard to believe they'd reveal one after a short focused on them, and after all of Sylveon's hype. Yes, I know, there's the "MUH PATTERNS" argument, but still.

I don't like the sound of shaking the 3DS, especially when mine is suffering from a loose top screen.

Re: Rumour Discussion and Speculation

What pretty much automatically made this rumor BS was the idea that Pokemon Smash would be revealing something new. Pokemon Smash is never the first to reveal anything.

Re: Rumour Discussion and Speculation

Sylveon was clearly introduced first to get more build up for Fairy type pokemon if they were to introduce a Dragon Eevee at the same time it would be over shadowed.

Re: Rumour Discussion and Speculation

Uh super training being like the safari zone is the bullshit factor of the rumor, as the PB leak mentions minigames, not battles. And I believe that much more than this. Not to mention random site updates at the end of the month is lolworthy, considering how outside of E3 things have been running along as usual:
CoroCoro info every month, but with a western reveal as well.

Re: Rumour Discussion and Speculation

Are we really back to the second eeveelution subject? D: And people don't understand why I dislike the damn thing. Any rumor that mentions a second eeveelution is automatically fake to me, since they sound more like wishful thinking than anything else.

Well, anyway, I disagree about a second eeveelution being overshadowed thanks to Sylveon, even more if it was a Dragon-type one. Dragon is by far the most popular type and Fairy is brand new one, so I am pretty sure that both eeveelutions would get a lot of focus, at least by the fanbase.

Lastly, shake the 3DS for an evolution? No, thank you, I value the money I spent to buy my 3DS.

Re: Rumour Discussion and Speculation

Then you should be extra careful turning it upside down to evolve inkay, cause that seems to be how it evolves. Which is another thing I love about these rumors, the recipe.
-Throw in some PB info
-Then add an eeveelution
-Next something random but cool sounding
-And lastly throw in the latest speculation trend to make it sound realer than jesus
And BAM you have yourself a solid rumor!

Not only that, but I'm pretty sure a bottom level employee at Nintendo of America wouldn't have any access to info. One, GF makes the games, not Nintendo. Two, a bottom level employee wouldn't have the same privileges as an upper level employee. Three, it's NOAmerica. Unless they were on the localization team or marketing team (which doesn't sound like bottom level), they probably wouldn't have this kind of info. I just wanted to point these things out.

They officially revealed Mewtwo's new form, didn't they?

Re: Rumour Discussion and Speculation

But was it before or after being revealed in CoroCoro and on the Internet?

Re: Rumour Discussion and Speculation

Smash was also the first to reveal Pansage prior to BW too... yeah, that's not so relevant to XY's promotion, but they do, on occasion, reveal some things first.

Re: Rumour Discussion and Speculation

I almost believed it, until...
There will be another Eeveelution name Drakeon. It's Dragon-type and it evolves through a new item called the Scale Fragment. You can find these in cave and a man in a small area called Florian Town give you one.
There will be no new Eeveelutions. The short already came out.

I knew it was fake as soon as he said he works for Nintendo.
