Video proof of the region free-ness.

Is this the first region free 3DS game? Thanks Game Freak

edit: Hmm, it may lock your region after you start a file... well that's odd then. Will wait for further details.

 

[Watch Da Birdie]

New Safari Zone thing sounds fun, also it seems you could possibly encounter non-Kalos Pokemon too? And Hidden Abilities? Wow.

I need to get some Friends, stat!

 

[Winterfang]

Can people please stop assuming that we have seen all the megas?

I would when I have my Mega Banette in my hands >=(

 

[Neiteio]

Even Steel/- is a better choice. Rock really hinder's my boy usability. Also I'm sad at the lack of new Mega Stones, I was so pumped for Banette.

There's nothing to suggest Mega Banette isn't in the game.

Also, I -really- hope Mega Tyranitar and Mega Aggron are in the new Coro Coro.

Scyther probably. I need friends too lol xD

 

[Ultimadrago]

Why does that matter? It's getting a worldwide release in like 7 languages, isn't it?

Pretty much...

Both dinosaurs are in both versions. You get to choose which fossil you want. Jaw Fossil for Tyrunt or Sail Fossil for Amaura.

I still don't know which to choose!

 

[Owwari]

So, just to clarify, is Team Flare in Y more brutal than in X?

My copy of X hasn't arrived yet. Dammit. I would quickly check.

I'd also like to know about this, anyone?

 

[Takuan]

Rumor says Coro Coro says MegaTyranitar in X and MegaAggron in Y

This aggression will not stand. I had my heart set on Y mainly for Mewtwo, but I don't know if Mewtwo Y is worth giving up Clauncher and Mega Tyranitar.

 

[Berordn]

Serebii's got a Kalos Regional Dex up and reports Dratini/Dragonair/Dragonite to be 145-147 in the mountain dex. Did that get confirmed anywhere else?

 

[Winterfang]

According to serebii, the Corocoro Magazine has a code giving out a Garchomp, next issue they will explain where to get it's Mega Stone. So far nothing more.

 

[Charlie0108]

Each Pokemon seems to have a Physical and Special animations which can be viewed in the status screen by interacting with the Pokemon in certain ways

I don't think so - I've had those three empty spaces up for so long...

Central

Coastal

Mountain

 

[ColtraineGF]

And as a second note, there's that solution to the "no dump of sprites" - just make pictures from direct-feed screenshots

 

[Zelias]

Dunno if this is old, but I just tried a bit of Super Training and stumbled upon a 'Reset Bag'. If you use it for core training it 'completely resets all of the base stats of a Pokémon.'

No more messing around with EV reducing berries, it seems. I got two by having no special training bag selected and whacking on the basic bag.

 

[Owwari]

Mewtwo X is Mewgeto

Now I don't have to worry about my very first run

W-what!?

Yeah that's great. That means I can enjoying playing my game and then just reset the stats of my team to make them viable in the Battle Tower.

 

[Banjotanooki]

HOLY SHIT

[eliochip]

which is why you go teamX with popeyes mewtwo.

Team X Mewtwo is what I was referring to. It's like Kid Buu vs Super Buu

This is quite possibly the best news so far.

 

[Charlie0108]

Not sure I really understand Super Training, I'm guessing it's adding on EVs and not base stats like it makes it sound like?

 

[Berordn]

EVs are officially referred to in-game as Base Stats. They're one and the same, the community just stuck with the term EV for simplicity's sake.

Exclusives list

Nooo heracross you're supposed to be in X!!!

Oh well, at least Mightyena and Houndoom are.

Seems like the rumors of mega tyranitar and aggron are not true or mixed up - since Aggron is in X and Tyranitar is in Y.

 

[Star Falcon]

Serebii is also reporting the opposite to Coro Coro regarding Aggron and Tyranitar:

http://www.serebii.net/xy/exclusives.shtml

Apparently Aggron line is in X, and Tyranitar line in Y...


edit: beaten...

[Winterfang]

Scizor's new toy? sorry if old.

 

[Charlie0108]

Tyranitar

 

[FrigidEh]

What's the general opinion of downloading this game from the eShop? Am I better off going to get a physical copy in terms of being able to play this game 5+ years from now?

 

[Berordn]

Starmie in X?

Fuck yes all day 'erry day Star-

Wait who am I going to use as a starter now.

That indicates the Pokémon lines are in those versions, not the Mega Stones.

Cloyster

[ryan-ts]

Trading between X and Y will be available Day 1 right? GAF members are always more than willing to trade exclusives with each other, nothing to get too worked up about.

 

[Ondore]

Exclusives list

X version confirmed for mono-Fire run. (Fire/Dragon + Houndour line = very yes)

 

[MagiusNecros]

Version Y redeemed.

 

[Charlie0108]

Does anyone know what level Flabebe evolves at?

 

[Neiteio]

Mega Stones might not be so easy to trade, as there might be just one Mega Stone per game.

Of course. All the Wifi systems are apparently up and running too, so no delay.

Remaining holes plugged in the Kalos regional Pokedex...

COASTAL DEX

019: Taillow
020: Swellow

141: Clamperl
142: Huntail
143: Gorebyss

146: Corsola (yay, I got another prediction right!)

MOUNTAIN DEX

014: Shuckle (got this one right, too)

068: Rotom

109: Spearow
110: Fearow

129: Bonsly
130: Sudowoodo (typical tricky tree - hiding out in an empty trio spot instead of where a tandem would fit)
131: Spinda

134: Lickitung
135: Lickilicky

145: Dratini
146: Dragonair
147: Dragonite (see Dragonite fans - nothing to worry about)

So much for my theory about Game Freak wanting all of the non-specialty Pokemon lines available in either Gen 5 or Gen 6. Well, I suppose when they extend Gen 6 in the next game, they'll make room for Dusknoir, Glalie and Froslass.

This is also confirmation of no Togepi and no Mega Galvantula. We could have used an extra electric spider, too.

Rumor says Coro Coro says MegaTyranitar in X and MegaAggron in Y

Other way around according to Serebii.

Heracross, Tyranitar AND Cloyster exclusive in Y? Fuck yes.

That news about the ability to instantly reset the base stats (EVs) is excellent. Now if only there were a way to change a Pokémon's nature (I.E. that which affects stat growth)...

Y redeemed. I do like Aggron, though.

 

[Rnr1224]

Can someone repost the most up to date chart of all of the leaked pokemon so far? Thanks!

That would be too much no?
