Pokemon Gen 6, X & Y announced; worldwide release in October

[Fynn]

I swear as the generations go on, the pokemon designs go slightly more bonkers each time.

And the names?! Pokemon "X" and "Y"? What is this, a mathematics puzzle game? They will have to pull something out of the bag with this one to get me to buy it. I didn't buy any Generation V games, though I probably should just for completionist purposes.

My guess is that the theme here is chromosomes. Or axes. Or Alphabet Soup, audino...

WINNER. I would expect it's to do with axes. It's the first 3DS Pokémon game. Z will most likely be the 3rd game of this generation, giving an XYZ axis which makes 3D

True, but look at how "masculine" the Y legendary Pokemon is, and how "femenine" the X one is. They might be playing with both.

So Z will be some crazy hermaphrodite?

Yes please

OMG I love this! So glad that they're moving forward! The last two generations have been... well, boring. This looks awesome.

I'll agree with you on Gen IV, but Gen V was incredible.

Not going to lie, I'm not very excited about this. I guess its one of those "I'll try it out and see how I like it" kind of things. 4 is the last gen I truly enjoyed.

That fire starter pokemon looks smurfing adorable I don't care what you guys say. SO CUTE!

[Iceglow]

Waiiiitttt a minute. Now I seem to remember seeing several different variations of the history of the Pokemon universe but wasn't the theory that the Pokemon world is NOT OUR world officially confirmed with the Team Plasma storyline which basically implied that the world was created by Pokemon. If the new games are to be set in France, then surely the games would go against this and all of a sudden my head begins to hurt.

I need to pick up pokemon black or white at some point though I might well be buying a 3DS so I can get one of these, I'm mighty fed up of being unable to complete the pokedex because my wi-fi is too secure to work with the original DS.

[Bolivar]

I respect people's right to enjoy and appreciate these games.

[Quindiana Jones]

Do you have to have a 3DS or is it compatible with the DSi?

[Polnareff]

3DS only. No way in hell DS could handle those graphics.

[Quindiana Jones]

Well, there's another reason not to get it. xD

Chromosomes eh? I thought Deoxys of Generation III filled the DNA pokemon slot?

Evolutions of starters:



Fire for sure! Totes Adorbs!

[Quindiana Jones]

They're alright, those. Certainly better than a lot of the other generations.

As much as I'm always a Fire Starter kind of guy, the Frog is awesome
