Well, as I said earlier, Get TV is revealing them to its audience on Sunday, but whether or not there will be footage? I don't know just yet. We could find out tomorrow morning.

Its crazy to get hyped so soon for something that might turn out to be nothing, but gosh darn it I'm getting unreasonably hyped.

YES! YES! YES!

Back to watching stupid Japanese variety shows for the off-chance of a second of footage!
 
I'm voting Mega Evolutions.

They'll obviously be adding more (for the other starters), and we already have legendary Megas, so logically it makes sense that they would continue the trend, no?

Doesn't that pretty much confirm no new Megas?

If Mega Latios/Latias are in X/Y for compatibility's sake, then that's how they'd handle all of them.

Not really. It's possible they didn't have time to put in all the others, or that they were originally planning to introduce those two in x/y rather than in these ones

What if the Blue Orb and the Red Orb were megastones to begin with?

That's almost certainly how they're going to address it. They've got it built into the plot already!

I wouldn't be surprised if the Soul Dew ends up being a key component to Lati@site either.
 
I'm going to guess that Mega Latios and Latias are going to be some cross promotion thing. Like "go to gamestop and get it" around a month before release where they expect you to preorder.

Wait Smash doesn't exist anymore?!

Nope, like its predecessor, it changed into Pokémon Get TV.

Pokémon Get TV is a bit different to how Pokémon Sunday and Pokémon Smash were. It doesn't do skits in the same way but is rather a show that routinely has guests, has games that the guests play (related to Pokémon) and, depending on how well they do, gifts can be given to viewers.

There are still skits, though. There is an ongoing one where one person goes to kids houses and has to find Pokémon plushes in a certain time. Another has a person playing X & Y, traveling through Japan to fill his Pokédex only by trading,

Yeah. I also expect the other starters besides Blaziken will get mega stones (just for equality's sake) and Steven will give you your starter's mega stone as well as the mega ring at some point midgame

Shame all but Shoko are gone.

Pokémon Get TV isn't the same :( I miss Smash.



Either next week, or E3.

Only Shokotan is left? Wow, that sucks.
I remember how great Pokémon Sunday was especially. I used to try to get the first footage of BW when it showed up basically every week. Those guys made the whole show entertaining.

What does only by trading mean exactly? Does it just mean he never catches any pokemon and only gets more by trading the one pokemon he has? that's actually kind of a cool idea. Though if you do that and intend to finish the pokedex it'd be incredibly hard and you'd need to be smart about the order (Trading for a bidoof or some shit like that right off the bat would pretty much doom the endeavor)

Ugh. I hate these events so much. Missed out on Arceus because I didn't have a Toys R Us near me at the time.
 
So, just remembered that corocoro will finally be relevant again. Shouldn't there be scans for that soon?

Also, about the Lati@s mega stones, I'm sure they'll be holding them when you get them in OR/AS, or they'll be events for X/Y before the release of OR/AS.

Yeah, Robert were great and even TIM were great.

In this show, they simulate that they are a TV channel.

Shoko is the anchor. She also provides all the Pokémon news
Yukito Nishii is the director, as is Robin who is considered the taller version
And the comedy duo Taka & Toshi (Takahiro Suzuki & Toshikazu Miura) are the producers.
Chespin is an assistant Director

Incidentally, Takashi Sado won a tournament on show and is representing Get TV at the World Championships

By only trading with people he meets on the street

That's my thought process as well, buuut...

Mega Latios/as are probably going to be given out over wifi to XY to promote these games.

These are also likely possibilities as far as I can tell.
 
I expect at least 3 new megas beyond the two legendaries (if they are megas). The other two starters are obvious, and I'd be surprised if Metagross doesn't get a mega given that it's steven's signature pokemon (And given that one of his things is traveling the world in search of rare stones, it fits that he'd have access to that). I kind of feel like we should expect the champion's to have their signature pokemon mega evolve from now on like Diantha's Gardevoir. And while I guess they could give Steven Mega Aggron, Metagross has always been his signature. I guess we might also get Mega MIlotic if they keep the emerald set up where Wallace is champion and Steven is post game ultimate boss
