HOLY SHIT!
MEGA GROUDON CONFIRMED!

Cruel and unusual

 

[Artemisia]

HOLY SHIT!
MEGA GROUDON CONFIRMED!

 

[SuperEpicMan]

I just got TM Thief, do you think it could be used to steal mega stones?

 

[-Horizon-]

Are you forgetting Gardevoir and Mega Gardevoir punk? Psychic/Fairy is a sweet typing, she can tank those fighting moves and take a pounding all day.

Ok then.

 

[Gonzo The Great]

HOLY SHIT!
MEGA GROUDON CONFIRMED!

Haven't you already done this twice? Stop being an annoying douche.

 

[Mr-Joker]

Shopto posted my copy of Pokémon X and Y!!

Once.

Also, do Venusaur and Blastoise also get game specific Mega Evolutions like Charizard? Or only Charizard? How hard is it to obtain the mega evolution stones? I would like to know how hard it would be to trade with someone to get the opposite game's mega evolution stones.

You can easily buy the stones for the Kanto starters, unsure about any of the others though.

I laughed. I think that art is kind of cute.

Somethings off about that 3D model, like they did the bare minimum to bring it to 3D.

 

[Tusk]

Wow, GAF is being weird today.

There's some videos of Amie on /vp/

One of doduo, one for Raichu, and Roselia. A vid of the first gym, and second vid, too.

I'm not sure what you expect. The transition to 3D looks great, the models look very close to the artwork.

Is Banette part of the 450 in the regional Pokedexes?

Shuppet and Banette are listed in Slots 122 & 123 of the Mountain Dex. You're good to go.

 

[jelmerjt]

My copy arrived today from Tesco, hooray.

 

[EndlessSky]

Has there been a confirmation on Mega Gyarados's typing? I think I remember reading that a bug attack did neutral damage? Or was it super effective?

 

[Dr. Randy Marsh]

The Dexes extend beyond 150, it seems. Moltres is Coastal #153.

MOLTRES

 

[Delio]

Well seems that Delphox still has it's wand. It keeps it in it's sleeves. I wonder if the official art would show it then.

MOLTRES

Moltres confirmed for Coastal Dex #153.

Looks like a mushroom to me.

... Ok

What does this mean exactly?

And Dat FOX just made things potentially more awesome!

 

[yami4ct]

It's not a great design to begin with, but the 3D model just lacks any sort of personality. Hopefully it'll look better at different angles and in motion.

 

[ec0ec0]

gaf is dying this days... errors and errors...

 

[Berordn]

... Ok

Originally we assumed that the three Pokedexes went up to 150, which would mean 450 total Pokemon obtainable in the game, which is where we were getting confirmation of the 70 new Pokemon rumor. If they go higher than that and there's more secrets than we thought, there might be more Pokemon hiding in X and Y, new and old.

Mega Gyarados

It's Water/Dragon, Moonblast was Super Effective.

What is even happening? Why is it so busy right now?

 

[botty]

What's the connection between Foxes and witchcraft?

 

[Andrax]

My copy arrived today!

I have to say after all the hate I've read and anti-hype I was worried but it's exactly like I thought it would be..

A pokémon 3ds game.

It's amazing.

also..

Pika Pika!

 

[yami4ct]

MORE NEW POKEMON!?

More like "more old pokemon catchable in game than originally expected". That could lead to more megas, though.

What's the connection between Foxes and witchcraft?

I believe foxes are often seen as mystical creatures in Japanese mythology. That sort of explains their connection to magic in culture.

[leaking intensifies]

 

[clemenx]

I don't like that angle much. Looks just like a fat Gyarados.

 

[emb]

Do we know yet if mega evolutions 'stick' after evolving? Like, if I mega evolve, switch out, and switch back in, will it still be mega?

 

[Dr. Randy Marsh]

Mega Gyarados was also confirmed to be Water/Dark (weak to Fairy and Bug).

 

[Winterfang]

Is Banette part of the 450 in the regional Pokedexes?

I ask as the guides for past few versions have been a walkthrough first then a later release of a complete Pokedex (I'd imagine this is timed to the Banks release).

Japanese (and other non-English) guides may be different.

Yeah I just saw that they don't have the Pokedex but rather the Kalos Guide. Bummer.

 

[astrogamer]

What is even happening? Why is it so busy right now?

I think it is because NBC and Time linked to a Neogaf post. that traffic broke the servers

 

[Berordn]

Yes. Once Mega Evolved in battle, it lasts until fainting.

 

[Gentle Rodriguez]

Meeeeeeehhhh.

Water Dragon would have been so OP. This typing is worse than Water/Flying.

 

[jelmerjt]

Xerneas stats.

 

[yami4ct]

I don't think Gyrados translates well to 3D. He tends to look goofy in the anime as well. Not entirely the Mega's fault. He's only super badass from the front with a hint of his tail.

EDIT: Ooops. Read your question wrong. Also, person who replied first has the correct answer.

 

[Delio]

Meh Geomancy being a Solarbeam like Quiver dance is kinda meh. I guess it works if you switch in on something that will be scared out by Xerneas.

 

[UberTag]

Nice to see Moltres Dex entry at the end of the Coastal Dex. Clearly that's where the Legendary birds are all hiding out.

This also confirms Alomomola (verifying one of my predictions) and frees up the last cluster in the Mountain Dex (which means I'm putting Clefairy back in).

I'm guessing we may see Latios & Latias in the Central Dex and Mew in the Mountain Dex as well.

 

[emb]

Thanks for the quick answers. Good to know, that makes the more defensive megas and stuff like magic bounce way more useful then.

 

[Zomba13]

He just needs to be longer. Mega looks like they just didn't extend him enough.

 

[Gentle Rodriguez]

Depends on wether it actually loses both turns on charging/activating or just the first one. I'd doubt they'll give him worse Quiver Dance for his signature move.
