They're probably saving a Battle Frontier for RSE remakes, though I wouldn't be surprised if they took the little battle games from Kalos and just glomped those onto the Emerald Battle Frontier in Hoenn.

And yes, actually, I do consider most of those Pokemon to be subpar and uninteresting, both designwise and moveset wise.

All of the G6 Pokemon are really well designed, there's just not enough of them to make it feel like a new game rather than a Pokemon Colosseum/XD - at least in my opinion. Even the Megas are starting to remind me a bit of the Shadow Pokemon mechanic - just reversed so that it's a good thing instead of a bad thing.
I thing he's talking about the gen 5 pokemon that @8ther listed

So i'm guessing Haxourus, Reshiram, Mienshao, Serperior, Bisharp, Scolipede, Samurott, Gothitelle, Krookodile, Eelektross, Cobalion, Cofagrigus, Reuniclus, Accelgor, Chandelure, Archeops, Keldeo, Bouffalant, Terrakion, Virizion, Emboar, Volcarona, Braviary, Beartic, Heatmor, Zekrom, Seismitoad and Escavaliar all counts as "subpar" right?

So, the store that sold the game to kosthedin (and 42 other people, many who are kids I guess who didn't leak stuff on the net) was shut down because they were fined for each copy. Apparently it was his fault since he posted all over Instagram and allowed them to track which store sold it, if only he was smart like Josh and Kanpachi and leaked it through anonymous places.

So I doubt there's any hoax or viral trickery going on, this was a *serious* leak that cost people jobs. And it was a small store too so it's kind of sad, if it was a super-chain they probably could've just shrugged off the fine.

Eh, I'm not too big on Gourgeist (although it apparently has another form?) or Vivillion, the latter more-so because it's the only Bug.

I'd say these Pokemon beat out the original Pokemon of Gen IV, though.

Yeah, I don't see the logic in making Vivillion another generic bug/flying, especially if the others were going to be included in the game as well. Bunnelby and Fletchling did something unique with their roles as rodent and bird. Vivillion was just a waste of dex space.

How some people even consider the 4chan post might be real is beyond me....

But enough of that, let's move on >_> I hope the leakers will still keep on going with leaking, even if there's just post-game content left...

Considering we still have around a tenth of the regional Pokédex unaccounted for, they better get back to work!
And let's not forget that city down in the south of Kalos where the battle facilities are supposed to be. No pics of that yet if I'm not mistaken. Maybe there are still Frontier Brains or something similar to be discovered...

Have we even gotten location information? The leakers were too busy focusing on the Dex.

Chesnaught and Delphox are my favorite Grass and Fire starters now. Greninja is pretty cool, but is still second to Empoleon.

I'm very happy how Honedge turned out.

Pumpkaboo and Gourgiest are my new faves. X3

Nobody is more disappointed that there is only one bug line and it ends in bug/flying than I am.

Still, it could be worse, it could be like... a cricketune line... and at least it comes in different colors. I thought I saw a screenie of its stats, was that real or did I make that up in my head? Does anyone have a link or calculation of vivillon's stats?

I saw the screenie. I recall Vivillon having Speed and Sp. Att. as it's highest stats.

At the very least we'll probably have some Mega Bug Pokemon, Scizor and Heracross seem like a possibility.

Well, I'm guessing the people who live in that town who pre-ordered from that store have been pretty much ripped off and now have to wait until they have the money to buy them online since the nearest store that sells them is probably dozens of miles away.

And I see many of Gen 6's Pokemon as well designed, but saying they beat out the original Pokemon of Gen 4 is nonsense, since Gen 4 had a lot of good designs, like Floatzel and Lucario to name two examples.

@Floatzel: Well it's a matter of opinion I guess. I think most of the gen 6 Pokemon look great. But even besides looks, they have a lot of neat concepts for these new mons I think.

Some people speculate the rest of the Elite Four use Megas, but may not if you knock them out too fast...that's probably where the pic of Mega Gyrados is from, though Kanpachi didn't run into it when he fought the E4, but whoever leaked the pic did. Maybe through a rematch?

So we might have Mega Scizor, Chandelure, and Druddigon for the other E4.

Sooo are there any new Megas after Gardevoir? o.o

I'm also curious. I don't think this is all the mega there could be, because of this is, it's a strange crowd to be sure.

Yeah, I'm sure that there has to be more Mega Evolutions. I don't think they've even come across a Mega Kangaskahn or Kangaskhanite or whatever. I'm still trying to plan out my team, but I really want to see what other Mega Evolutions there are so I know who to put on my team.

It just kind of annoys me that there are very basic Pokemon concepts like karakasa, pegasi, cockroaches, and dolphins that are missing from the Pokemon world in favor of odd choices like piles of garbage, tons of monkeys, two seahorse dragons, and tons of butterflies. I hope G7 doesn't introduce less than 100 Pokemon AGAIN.
