[Zalman]

Alright, so I've decided I want to hype with you guys so you need to help me catch up.

1) Just saw what I think is the entire list of leaked Pokémon. Is there any we know about but haven't seen yet?

2) Any news on which Pokémon are exclusives? Last time I was here I heard something about Growlithe/Heracross for X and Vulpix/Pinsir for Y. Anything else?

So what's up with dual typed moves? What are they and how do they work?

 

[SenorArdilla]

So what's up with dual typed moves? What are they and how do they work?

Dual typed moves are moves that deal damage with two types instead of just one. There are currently two known dual type moves.

Light Ray: Grass/Electric
Flying Press: Fighting/Flying

EDIT:
Say for instance you use Flying Press on a Rock Pokemon. Fighting would super effective damage but the multiplier is scaled back to 1x because Rock resists Flying.

Pumpkaboo evolves into Gourgeist? @_@

Shouldn't be the other way around? (Pumpkaboo is way cooler...)

Geeze, Light Ray is going to brutalize water types.

Do we know yet how this works in relation to STAB? Also do weaknesses and resistances stack? So Light Ray would deal x4 against a Water-type? Would it deal anything to a Ground-type? Confusing as fuck

 

[SenorArdilla]

Geeze, Light Ray is going to brutalize water types.

Hypothesis: Light Ray won't work on Water/Ground Pokemon because Ground is immune to Electric. Similarly, Flying Press fails against Ghost types because Ghost is immune to Fighting.

The answer is math, I would imagine.


Grass v. Water = 2x
Electric v. Water = 2x
(2)(2) = 4
Lightray v. Water = 4x

Whereas

Grass v. Ground = 2x
Electric v.Ground = 0x
(2)(0) = 0
Lightray v. Water = 0x

Same as Ground vs Zapdos (Flying/Electric) or Electric vs Quagsire (Water/Ground)

 

[Doominated]

Why is the charizard 3ds japan only

why would Nintendo do this to me

 

[AcademicSaucer]

Yeah I am out too if this is going to be the norm.

Story spoilers should have its own thread IMHO

Yeah. That's pretty much how I assume it'll be. Light Ray will be 8x super effective against Water/Rock.

 

[JSoup]

Nintendo always does that with neat hardware cases.

 

[Boss Doggie]

Yeah. That's pretty much how I assume it'll be. Light Ray will get a 8x multiplier against Water/Rock.

Much like how Ultraman destroys kaijuu with Ultra Beam.

 

[StreetsAhead]

Has there been any evidence of Light Ray, Mega Druddigon or Mega Galvantula? Is it all just alleged text leaks?

 

[CommandThrower]

Yeah. That's pretty much how I assume it'll be. Light Ray will get a 8x multiplier against Water/Rock.

8x Super Effective damage? Wouldn't it be only 6X? Water/Rock takes 4x damage from grass, but only 2x from electric.

Regardless, water/rock types would most assuredly faint in one hit. Very few things can withstand 4x damage, so what could survive 6x?

It brings OHKO's into type play. Soooo meta GameFreak

People presume it's multiplicative due to x0 resistances negating even x2 weaknesses in dual-types (i.e. Ground negatives Water's weakness to Electric).
I'm more interested how STAB will work with dual-type moves--not that it exactly matters when x8 will wreck anyone and everyone.

 

[Zalman]

Wait, will Blastoise have another mega evolution too? It's on that trademark list. If so, it's weird how they would just leave out Venusaur like that.

 

[BriseFlots]

Maybe Blastoise and venusaur alternate mega will be given in events

 

[Zalman]

But isn't its mega stone confirmed to be simply "Venusaurite"? Because without the X and the Y there, it probably won't get another mega evolution.

 

[Avixph]

Super Mysterious Dude Like 9 ft. tall according to the leaker...

Some say he's wearing the Legend Badge from Gen V

What if that's Hilbert?

 

[StreetsAhead]

I will take that as a no, then. Calling fake on Light Ray ad the two Unova Megas until actual evidence pops up.

Any more word on Diggersbys type?

 

[AnkiRendan]

I'm kind of doubting Unova Megas myself. I find it really odd that they didn't show off a single Mega Pokemon from that generation before release.

 

[BriseFlots]

Event stones may have event names... But I agree that the chances are (very) low

Repost for new page:

Found it.

The following list of Pokemon were introduced in Diamond and Pearl, but did not appear in the Regional Dex, and therefore, were technically "Post-game" Pokemon:

1. Rotom
2. Glisor
3. Probopass
4. Gallade
5. Lickilicky
6. Leafeon
7. Glaceon
8. Togekiss
9. Magnezone
10. Tangrowth
11. Yanmega
12. Rhyperior
13. Dusknoir
14. Porygon-Z
15. Electivire
16. Magmortar
17. Mamoswine
18. Froslass

My theory? Gen 6 will do something similar. As leakers start getting into Post-Game, they might start seeing evolutions of past Pokemon.

I don't think old Pokemon will evolve with the exception of Eevee into Sylveon. If anything, after beating the Elite 4 and the Champion I think you'll just be able to catch the remaining old Pokemon that aren't in the 3 categories.

HRNNNNGH!!! Gotta keep up the hope!!!

I survived an entire generation with no new evolutions, all because I knew in my heart I'd see a bevy of evolutions in the next even-numbered gen, just like II and IV! Don't break my heart!

And what's worse, with Sylveon being one of the first Gen VI reveals, I breathed a sigh of relief thinking that seeing at least one new evolution would set a precedent for the rest of the gen. To think that that one evolution would be the only one...

Well, at least the Mega Evolutions are amazing...

I still can't believe we can't store our megastones with the pokemon in the new pokebank app.

 

[Zalman]

What?!

 

[Korosenai]

I still can't believe we can't store our megastones with the pokemon in the new pokebank app.

It's probably so that they can retcon mega stones in gen 7 if they dont want to use them anymore.

 

[Berordn]

What?!

No hold item support, probably due to cross-gen forward compatibility.

 

[Sigismundo]

So I've been on a trip for three days.

HOLY SHIT CLAWITZER

 

[EulaCapra]

People shouldn't sleep when there's still so much (or dammit--so little) left to leak.

 

[BriseFlots]

it's the only thing I know about 4chan: don't click; don't visit.

 

[Fidelis Hodie]

All I know is my final team will look like . .

1. Quilladin
2. Goodra

+ Mega-something-awesome.

I love Aegislash, Pangoro, Tyrantrum and Dedenne also, but I'll let the game decide for me.

EDIT: Diggersby! I forgot him. How could I forget that boss ass mutha??

 

[Korosenai]

My final team

• Chesnaught
• Malamar
• Goodra
• Aegislash
• Mega Gengar
• Hawlucha / Tyrantrum

edit:

[tiggerkiddo]

I like the pumpkin evolution...I need a third form now.

Any pics of the gym leaders?

 

[Antiwhippy]

it's the only thing I know about 4chan: don't click; don't visit.

But the leaks! Also it's kind of fun to see the internet at its most unrestrained. Occasionally.

Also, team so far...

Chesnaught
Clawitzer
Mega Gardevoir
Aegislash

And uh... no idea.

 

[Qurupeke]

Man.... Best games ever... The Pokemon designs are truly great. The slug Dragon is awesome.

Guys it seriously seriously bothers me that Heliolisk doesn't get another evolution.

wtf Gamefreak, that thing is incomplete dammnit

 

[hemtae]

You guys take a bunch of Pokemon with you. I have three not including HM slaves until the post game.

 

[Kurita]

So many cool new monsters, and a nice selection of older ones. I really don't know what my team will look like.

 

[Zalman]

Delphox looks so much better here. The sprite is terrible, but I hope the official artwork is at least as good as this.

Apparently the leaker who has him says that his 3D model/animation is really cool.

I think that is a fan art of Delphox... Probably why it actually looks decent

Lol nope. Eff that normal noise.

Why can't we ever get nice rabbit pokes... :/

They're always so boring or overly cartoony.
