EVERYONE TAKE A LOOK AT THIS:
1391673_731137170237152_1548321487_n.jpg


What if it is real, that all what we've got is fake ??!
Even though I'm 99% sure this is fake, I would love if this turned out to be true, not because I don't like the new 'mons, but because now I feel guilty and more spoiled than I ever wanted to be D: (I know it's my fault, but it would make the actual games a lot more exciting in a way)

no, no! i'm so conflicted about how i want to feel about the "whole leaks a possible hoax" thing. no, no, i think it's ridiculous and highly unlikely. but at the same time, i'd love for there to be several more pokemon and the only way that seems possible right now is if this were true.

but at the VERY, VERY same time i would cry my eyes out if pumpkaboo and gourgeist ended up being fake. especially pumpkaboo. i love those two SO much. i want them to be real with my everything!

so i'm very conflicted--not with what i believe is true, really, but with what i want to be true. :( so sad. i love pumpkaboo. but i really do wish there were closer to 100 new pokemon. i still am excited for the game and i don't think much less of it, i just feel so much less hype now that it's pretty much certain that there are only 69-70 new pokemon total. part of the most exciting part of new pokegames for me was seeing how many new awesome/adorable new pokes were made.

x/y will be best for people who haven't been keeping up with the games and people who haven't spoiled themselves, unfortunately. if there were this few pokemon i really wish i would've stayed away. butijustcan'tahwassoexcited.

and i don't think there's anything wrong with people being disappointed with how few pokemon there are this gen, as long as they're not throwing a tyrantrum! so being rude and blowing YOUR top off while complaining about people expressing their opinions is just silly! (yes, there was a specific post in mind to this little snip).

there's nothing wrong with being disappointed a little bit because up until now we've ALWAYS got 100-135ish new pokemon, no less, and yes that is including pre-evos and new evos to old pokemon because they're still permanent evolutions outside of battle and were new. i don't really count megavolutions because of this. i don't like that there were so many because no doubt they took up resources that could've been used for permanent pokemon. i'd much rather have more cuties to keep and coddle outside of battle than ubers that i will hardly ever even need because i'm not a competitive battler. i just like collecting pokemon. i like getting attached to them. you can't get attached to megas because after the battle, that's it, they're done until next time! that's my reasoning.

that's not to say i don't think megas aren't cool, because they are, but there are just so many! why pick some pokemon over others? it's just weird. and arcanine is one of my favorite pokemon, so considering megas aren't going away it'd be neat to see what they /could/ do to it! so i guess here's hoping there is a mega arcanine.

all that being said, i can understand other reasons why we'd get less pokemon this generation and i think everyone else disappointed can understand it, too, if they can get past their sadfaces. they're adding a lot more to the games than pokemon: the amie features, new ways to EV train; trainer customization; idk what else...but all this, who knows how many resources they take up too.

it's okay to be disappointed because we're not used to it. it's actually quite a jump from getting more than 100 pokemon to only 69ish. we just gotta not let that completely ruin the game experience for us--even for me, the person who doesn't care for battling at all and would much rather collect all the potentially thousands of cutiepatooties in the pokeworld! :)

You're flawless.

Kanpachi's taking it easier now trying to find anything new. He'll be going back to work soon (this was his week off). E3 Keynote drops by to say a few things. MassiveSulphide is way to busy to post anything so we won't be seeing anything new from SA about X. Also Kanpachi responds to 4chan! (Seriously some of you people are too gullible for the internet.)


Kanpachi

Should be where you get Ampharosite.
Yeah I've had that for ages. I never found a Mareep, though.
That cave seems to have nothing in it. I was thinking it was where Xerneas would show up in X but I dunno.



Phantump's Move Relearner options:
Tackle, Confuse Ray, Astonish, Growth, Ingrain, Feint Attack, Leech Seed, Curse, Forest's Curse, Destiny Bond.
Meh?



Phantump evolution attempt #20:
Levelled to 58, holding a Reaper Cloth in the rain while under the effects of Ingrain.
This is getting silly.

Trade?
TAKE IT


I'd seriously bet it is this gens shelmet style evolution. Gotta trade pumpkin boo for phantump
I thought about that, but nothing in their visual design suggests that's the case like with Shelmet.


Parabolic Charge: Special, 50BP, 20PP. Multi-target. Restores HP by half the damage dealt.

Phantom Force: Physical, 90BP, 10PP. Single target. Makes contact (I think). The user vanishes somewhere, then strikes the target on the next turn. This move hits even if the target protects itself.

Topsy-Turvy: ??PP. Reverses stat changes on the target.


Oh good, Noivern was straightforward too. (serious nature)

e: note that the evolution level could be anything. I caught it at 58.



Just gonna throw this out of whack by mentioning that Mewtwo is Mountain 151.


Do repels in X&Y work the same way they did in B2/W2?
Yeah! I only found this out today.


E4 rematches: You can go back and fight them as you please but it looks like it's just the same fights again.


If there's much more to see, the game isn't doing a very good job of signaling that it's there.
A couple of standing mysteries:
Multiple alternate doors to the Kalos Power Plant that I don't know how to open.
The sundial in Anistar City looks super pretty and important but hasn't been used for anything.
The Sea Spirit's Den is an empty cave at the end of a Surf route that serves no apparent purpose.



E3 Keynote

My personal theory on the lack of post game content is that it'll be event stuff, or DLC. I was wondering what that dumb sea cave and sun dial was for though!
Also Kanpachi, do you have any idea what all the tipping is for? I've been doing it most everywhere, but it seems like a weird money sink that does nothing.
I've been leveling up Carbink in a futile attempt to see if it'll get cool. So far, not cool. Will keep you posted on Carbink cool status.



Kanpachi

Also Kanpachi, do you have any idea what all the tipping is for? I've been doing it most everywhere, but it seems like a weird money sink that does nothing.
Absolutely no idea.

I read that the Elite 4 give out TMs, is this true Kanpachi/E3?
No.

This seems any more possible this generation since this is the first time that someone can't just dig into a dumped rom and find every single event listing and pokemon. It's seemingly unlikely at this point, but there could be a number of things we don't know about and currently have no way to even find out.
Yep. And, not to belabour the adventure game metaphor, but I'm not really prepared to scour the game rubbing every binary combination of balloons together to unlock a door. These games have never been that obscure.
Sorry to sound so deflated -- I really enjoyed the game and I think most of you will too. But I've sunk in 55 hours in 5 days which was mostly made possible by a decent rate of interesting discoveries. Now that I'm in the post-game that well seems to be drying up.

Wow, Kenpachi, what do you have to say for yourself?
Liveleaks for Pokemon Y-Prime begin tomorrow!

Updated Dex: now with Audino!

How did repels work differently in BW 2? Never used any when I had it.

When your repel runs out the game will ask you if you'd like to use another assuming you have more in your bag.

Now that they discovered that Audino is the missing one in Central Kalos, the important question is, is it Fairy?

I have a feeling we'll be seeing a lot of creepy shoujo eyes from here on out.

That's not official art, is it? It looks a bit different from Sugi's, actually

I think I figured out Tipping.

Masuda talked about an "easier way to find Shinies", didn't he? I remember seeing that brought up in the Mechanic Changes. I bet Tipping probably increases the chances of encountering a Shiny by some amount.

No, it's not official art. How would anyone even get that?
