Re: Rumour Discussion and Speculation

So................has Orotto been confirmed yet?? D:

Confirmed? Obviously, considering it was shown in an X/Y commercial. We know nothing about it though, outside its name, and only few people in Japan have actually seen it.

Re: Rumour Discussion and Speculation

I know this is from the anime, but I think it fits well enough in the speculation thread.

In the preview for X/Y, I noticed some thing that could be a new Pokémon:

Now I could be wrong and this could be a Pokémon we already know, but I can't seem to recall something that looks like this.

Maybe it's just a dog. It's hilarious, but normal animals do happen to exist in the Anime.

Re: Rumour Discussion and Speculation

It looks much like a small dinosaur. Probably it's a Helioptile Evolution or a brand new Pokémon?

Looks like a dog to me, maybe a Swirlix evo?

I don't think that it's a Swirlix or a Helioptile evolution, but it does look like a new Pokémon.

It is probably a new Pokémon. It is been ages since animals appeared in the show, I don't think they are coming back.

Re: Rumour Discussion and Speculation

*looks up* Did somebody say "robot"?

How exactly would Eevee, a living organism, evolve into a robot?
Uh, actually you could probably get a decent answer from the Borg. They might know. :sweatlol:

In all seriousness, Eevee does mutate due to environmental influences--exposure to certain radiation could cause the skin to harden and their internal organs to change. Remember, we're dealing with creatures that can breathe fire. If you can think it up, it may just be possible.

Are implants really "robotic" to you? How would implants also imply that it would be a Steel-type in the first place? Also, modern technology is likely to use electrical power!
IIRC, an IDW comic made mention of a planet whose residents began implanting themselves with cybernetic technology; eventually that planet became known as Cybertron and the residents were called Autobots and Decepticons. It took time but eventually they completely lost their organic components. A Steel type Eevee could very well go down that same route.

Also, there are such things as automatons, which just so happen to be robots made of natural materials and powered by non-electrical sources. Modern tech is more likely to use electricity but there are other methods.

That said, I'm not really sure we'll be getting another Eeveelution. We have Sylveon already so I'm thinking that may be all we get. However, GF could troll the living heck outta us and throw out a brand spankin' new Eevee form and not say anything about it until after X and Y has been released.

As for the IAMTHELEAKER rumors, I have to call BS. Way too many people want a dolphin Pokemon; this just smacks of "too slagging good to be true".

Re: Rumour Discussion and Speculation

Putting implants into an Eevee in order to change it into a different type wouldn't even work well in the Pokémon game universe. How would that fit with the current evolution methods that are used now?

Nice catch! I certainly do think that is a new pokemon! It really doesn't resemble any of the pokemon we already know. I hate to say this, since its wild speculation, but a swirlix evolution does seem likely if that top part is the tail sticking up. I actually kind of want it to be, since I have a lot of hope riding on that pokemon turning into a cotton candy poodle, and that is what that looks like.

Re: Rumour Discussion and Speculation

That Pokémon in the picture doesn't look like cotton candy or fluff.

Maybe if you did something with Pokemon-Amie.

Where you play, pet, and feed your Pokémon, Eevee somehow turns into a robot. That makes sense.

Re: Rumour Discussion and Speculation

Looks pretty fluffy to me, whatever it is.

Not that it matters though, it's almost impossible to tell what might even be with how small it is in the shot.

I thought it was an Absol at first, but upon closer inspection, it's most likely new.

Re: Rumour Discussion and Speculation

Guys, this isn't the place to talk about the anime's er..."logic".

The whole Flip Evolution thing makes me laugh, honestly. I know GameFreak occasionally likes to do somewhat-unique things regarding evolving (Karrablast and Shelmet, anyone?), but flipping the 3DS upside down to evolve? That's a bit too Farfetch'd to me. xD
Actually, that one seems pretty likely. Inkay is known as the "Revolving Pokémon", whereas Malimar is the "Overturning Pokémon". If you look at the two, Malimar does have features of an upside down Inkay. With the 3DS' gyroscope, it is possible. It was also mentioned in PokéBeach's leak, along with the names of the Pokémon.

Now that I rethink about it, it does indeed make more sense than I initially thought, but I'd probably still laugh for a bit if it ended up becoming confirmed.

Re: Rumour Discussion and Speculation

I'm sure that if there was another Mewtwo form, then it would've been shown in the movie.
Same could be said for Deoxys....

That's because Pokémon Emerald wasn't released yet. In this case, we are receiving two games, only one form was shown, and the rumor implies that there will be an "X" type because he called the one we were shown the "Y" type. He also said that Mewtwo would have two forms. It wouldn't be new if he meant the regular form; he was talking about another form. It's similar to another rumor and it is likely to be false.

Pretty sure Deoxys-S was revealed in June/July of '04 in Pokemon Fan.

Also, that 'other rumor' was MageLeif's, wasn't it? It'd be pretty incredible if it turned out all of the info his leaks correctly anticipated up to now was just him throwing out wild guesses.

Re: Rumour Discussion and Speculation

Now that I think about it, that rumor about Mewtwo is very similar to Deoxys. That makes me believe it even less, especially since the new Mewtwo form that we know was featured in a movie before the games were released and they created hype for that form.

Re: Rumour Discussion and Speculation


Given Noir's translation, the intended meaning is quite obvious especially since he chose to spell key words in ALLCAPS. A bit clunky that way; something like "Chespin's typing isn't set in stone" would be more subtle.

Of course, this is the part of the rumor that will most likely be proven true:
"some information will be false"
:)
