No, you get the starter you're strong against.

Pick Chespin, get Froakie. Best of both worlds.

Shit. That doesn't work out how I planned, then...


Also, I heard awhile back that if you don't choose Charmander as your Kanto starter, an NPC will offer to sell you Charizardite X or Charizardite Y (depending on your version), presumably so you don't miss out on it if you didn't choose Charmander because it's a version exclusive item. Is that true? If so, that means that it'd be a good idea to NOT get Charmander so that you can get an extra Mega Stone in addition to the one you get with Bulbasaur or Squirtle.


I still can't decide if I want to go all Fire-type with Fennekin, Charmander, and Torchic (my favorites), or if I want to pick one of each type (I'd go with Chespin, Squirtle, and Torchic).

 

[ffdgh]

And so team froakie is still winning!

Nah team chespin has the best result

 

[Espada]

Aren't they rumored to have Mega Evolutions?

Yeah, that's the rumor. I haven't seen any leaker confirm this, so hopefully one of the guys in the post game ATM will try to find out.

You can buy all the Kanto starters' megastones at a store in the game.

 

[Rogue Agent]

I know this has been something for a long time, but what is the reasoning for all your Pokemon being at Level 50 in the Battle Tower, Tournament, etc.? Why not stay at Level 100?

 

[StreetsAhead]

Aren't they rumored to have Mega Evolutions?

Just about every Pokemon has been rumored to have on at this point.

 

[Tyeforce]

So Kiloude City = post game

EDIT:

Oh, cool! Do we know which Pokémon and items are banned yet? Are Mega Stones and Mega Evolutions allowed?

 

[AmICoolYet]

I believe you can buy all the kanto starter megastones regardless of which you pick. Only your version's Charizardite obviously.

A guy from this forum http://www.relicsong.com/forums/discussion/852/pokemon-x-early-copy#Item_27 has a shiny Gulpin.

Oh. Well, fuck. Now I'm more tempted to go with all Fire-types. XD

 

[one_kill]

When can you trade for the additional starter?

 

[Firemind]

Jesus Shadow tag huh

Mega Godgar

Makes the Water/Dark Mega Gyarados typing even more hilarious.

 

[AmICoolYet]

Post-E4

 

[Anura]

Nah team chespin has the best result

But team chespin has chespin in it... That's no bueno

 

[Antiwhippy]

But team chespin has chespin in it... That's no bueno

That is the best result!

 

[Anura]

That is the best result!

The best result at being the worst

 

[Neiteio]

So Kiloude City = post game

EDIT:

I wonder if winning these tournaments is how you acquire certain Mega Stones in the game. "Congratulations! You won Pinsirite!"

 

[Zaventem]

haha

 

[Stoof]

Wonder if the E4 will have a Mega Pokemon during rematches.

 

[Avixph]

Has anyone in NYC being able to purchase the games early?

 

[ec0ec0]

Mega Gengar's base stats courtesy of Smogon:

HP: 60
Atk: 65
Def: 80
SpA: 170
SpD: 95
Spe: 130

total 600

ability: shadow tag (prevents opposing Pokemon from escaping). Now he doesnt has levitate, obviouly...

type: ghost/poison

HUGE EVEN BIGGER !! i love you gengar

 

[AnkiRendan]

Poor Tepig. Unova starters get no respect. Those three are my favourites.

 

[Anura]

haha

19128 voters have the right idea

 

[Vermillion]

haha

No shit. Though I did not expect Cyndaquil to be so high. Then again, I lurve all fire type starters (save for Tepig... sorry Tepig), so it matters not to me.

 

[ffdgh]

haha

poor tepig...

 

[Espada]

Heh, there was never any doubt why Charizard is the sole starter to get TWO Mega forms. The popularity of that line is matched (or exceeded) only by Mewtwo and Pikachu. I feel bad for the fire starters from Chimchar onward. Not a chance in hell of reaching Torchic's levels, let alone the other two.

 

[jelmerjt]

Well, here's your roaming trio I guess. He fled.

 

[Pudge]

haha

Poor Tepig It's not his fault that he evolves into Fire/Fighting.

 

[jelmerjt]

Do these roaming Pokemon have fixed natures? Noooo

 

[Avixph]

Has anyone in NYC being able to purchase the games early?

Anyone?

 

[Vermillion]

Waaaaiiiiitttt... There's a romance subplot in this?

Is that confirmed? But... how is it possible being Bulbasaur the absolute best?? O_O

 

[Fireblend]

poor tepig...

IMHO

Charmander > Cindaquil = Fennekin > Torchic > Tepig = Chimchar

I really like Fennekin's design. And it's evolution.

Spoiler

Let's stop there

.

 

[Mengetsu]

Waiting for tomorrow to see if a store I know will have it.

 

[Brawly Likes to Brawl]

haha

Tepig being at the bottom is no surprise. People really didn't appreciate getting the Fire/Fighting stick thrown at them again.

 

[jelmerjt]

Battle Maison...

It doesn't even let me try to enter Xerneas, it just comes up as banned in my party.

And...

Currently going into an Abandoned Mine upwards of Couriway, gonna see what I can unearth in there.

 

[Avixph]

Waiting for tomorrow to see if a store I know will have it.

Can you PM me the name and location of the store if you're able to purchase them.

 

[Owwari]

Tepig was just so random and out of place to be honest. USA-themed game and we got a porky starter haha.

 

[-Horizon-]

Waaaaiiiiitttt... There's a romance subplot in this?

What is this I'm hearing?
Dating sim confirmed? Do you date your opposite sex rival? These are things that I must know

 

[Mr-Joker]

I am just going straight up kill that thing when I run into it, I do not need another Zapdos, Articuno and Moltres.

Gen 6 does so many things wrong in my book and yet I am still excited to play the game.

 

[Espada]

Is that confirmed? But... how is it possible being Bulbasaur the absolute best?? O_O

Junichi Masuda had an interview where he revealed some of the reasons why some pokemon get Mega forms and others don't. One of the reasons he mentioned was popularity, and it's not doubt that Charizard is the most popular Kanto starter.

 

[ec0ec0]

blasphemy.

EDIT: fly away zapdos...

 

[AEGISX]

Aurorus stats:

Ice Hyper Beam

damn, ice body slam. ice extreme speed (too bad it most likely cant learn it)

 

[solarus]

Tepig being at the bottom is no surprise. People really didn't appreciate getting the Fire/Fighting stick thrown at them again.

I think it's more to do with the fact he looks lame as hell. He's a pig.
Cyndaquil is my favourite.

 

[icy_eagle]

Gardevoir can learn Hyper Voice via move tutor.

So it's mostly redundant instead of completely redundant.

Well, considering how ridiculously powerful megas are anyway, it's not really a bad thing in my mind.

 

[jelmerjt]

Nooo leaker doesn't know where Rock Smash is. Someone show him this picture xD

Sure we didnt need another of the same typing, but...Emboar is awesome no matter what.

Yes I've read that. But him being the most popular doesn't mean the others can't have their own Y version. I mean, Venosaur was a pretty versatile Pokémon and his mega-evolution is clearly focused on its defensive set.
Maybe in future generations there will be extra mega evolutions until we get an X and an Y version of every line of Pokémon.

 

[Antiwhippy]

Emboar should have been the zhu bajie to fire monkey's sun woo kong.

 

[UberTag]

So Kiloude City = post game

Hey, post game guy!

Anything you can add to the Regional Dex listings we have in the opening post of this thread?
We still have 28 slots to fill.
