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

[Goldenboko]

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.

X, Y, then eventually Z. because the game is 3D. Duh!

Evolutions of starters:



Fire for sure! Totes Adorbs!

You DO realize this picture is just some fan imagining what they might look like, not official art, I hope?

BTW, the legendaries have names now! Xerneas is Mr. Deer, and Yveltal is the birdy. Am I the only one who thinks those names would fit right into Xenogears?

That makes me very sad. That fox/wolf is awesome with it's Viking beard, and the frog has a badass moustache. The official art, unless it's identical, won't be able to compare.

You never know until you see it

Viking Ear-Beard and Gentleman's Moustache.

Nothing can compete.

No I wasn't, it got past around at work so I posted it here in a fit of excitement.

I'm disappointed now.

That evolution of the water pokemon has a bitchin' moustache.

I think I gathered that much Boko. I'm stupid, but clever enough to realise this!

I'm very interested in the polygonal models that their doing!

[Chris]

I am really excited! It looks new and like a big upgrade.

[Formalhaut]

I was disappointed with Black and White, because sure, they were decent, but they were hardly groundbreaking. Generation IV was the first game on the DS for example, and so did alot in it's generation. For me, V was more of a "filler" to wait for the 3DS essentially.

This new generation looks interesting and innovative enough for me to consider parting money with it.

I'm liking what's been revealed so far. Among the starters I like Chespin the best currently. That fan-art evolution pic was actually very similar to my predictions of the starter's final evolutions: my guesses were Fennekin's being a long slender majestic looking fox, Froakie's being a bulky, bearded sage-looking frog, and Chespin's being a giant grass/wood bladed weasel (as in he has arm blades made of grass and wood).

Although this isn't confirmed, I heard rumours that there's going to be a new type for this generation (a couple of sources here and there said this) and that Eevee will be getting another evolution (people speculate this based on the new movie's short revolving around Eevee evolutions and Gen 6 cameos being confirmed in Genesect's movie).

[I Don't Need A Name]

Apparently there's going to more than 50 new Pokémon introduced in this Generation. At least it won't be another full new Pokémon lineup.

[Polnareff]

Me and my friend were just talking about how we hoped there'd be a new Eeveelution. I didn't know there was a rumor that it might happen. I was personally hoping for a fighting-type Eevee, just to see how crazy it would look doing certain moves (can you imagine an Eevee doing Comet Punch?! )

Maybe the rumored new Eevee will be based around the rumored new type.

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.

Pretty sure the Pokemon world is our world. It's just always been set in Japan.

A new type? Interesting! I do wonder what type it could be. The "Light" type? might counterbalance dark, but then I'm just guessing here. I wonder what type it could be, if it turns out to be true.
