    Also, the new Eeveelution's official Sugimori art and English name (Sylveon) have been revealed:

    Well, Gen 5 did a really good job of that, since all 8 fully evolved bug types (excluding Genesect since its an event legendary) have strong stats with none of their stat totals going under 475 (for comparison, fully evolved starters have stat totals of 525-535 while bug types like Beedrill have stat totals of 384). There's also a few strong bug types from previous generations like Pinsir, Scyther (the only Pokemon whose stat total doesn't increase upon evolving), Heracross, Scizor, and Yanmega.

    Poison is the only element that needs a buff. It's only super effective against one type, which is the type that usually has poison as a sub-stat in the first place. I love my swalot and muk, but by god it just doesnt work out for them very well in most scenarios. Burn and paralysis are better status ailments anyway.
    It's a fantastic secondary typing don't get me wrong, but those with pure poison get quite possibly the most useless STAB element in the game.
    Eyyyyyyyyyyyyy

    That is true actually. Poison is wonderful as a secondary type but I avoid pure types like the plague.

    As for status ailments, poison is definitely the easiest to get through. Bad poison though, can be quite effective which makes Toxic a good move to have.

    Does the fact that its name reminds me of Sylvie?

    Who's willing to say that there's going to be a new Light type, and Sylveon is a Light type?

    Apparently, I have been declared banished.

    Reminds you of Sylvie?

    So therefore

    It is the most demented and terrifying Pokemon of all time.

    I didn't expect them to add a Bondage type either.

    Sylveon used Constrict!
    Sylveon used Megahorn!

    Default Rumours

    Take these rumours with a grain of salt:

    -Main characters are Jean and Jane; names are non-customizable
    -Trainer now appears in the bottom screen during battle, with a speech bubble interface holding the trainer commands inside
    -Trainers now have their own leveling system that affects how in-game NPCs react to you and grants various bonuses such as increasing capture rate and the rarity of Pokémon encountered
    -A new key item called the Whistle can be used once per battle with differing effects, such as waking up a Pokémon or snapping it out of confusion.
    A bond level replaces the happiness meter from past games; higher bond levels -grant bonuses such as experience or stat gain for Pokémon
    -Bond level bonuses and the whistle feature can be turned off in PvP matches for the benefit of competitive play
    -A new item called the Bond-EYE that resembles a pair of sunglasses allows players to view the nature of wild Pokémon and their capture rate
    -The Bond-EYE also allows players to see visual avatars of other players and send them messages or trade and battle requests; this feature, akin to the Miiverse function in Nintendo Land, will be the first of its kind on the 3DS
    -Wireless co-op is now possible, with one player being the leader and the other aiding in battle
    -Players not able to play cooperatively will be allowed to request aid from NPC trainers in their adventures via a juice bar located in every town
    -The PokéDex resembles a tablet with a 3D display that allows players to view -Pokémon models, read full paragraph descriptions of them, hear their cries, view their locations, compare their sizes and weights with others, and read comments made by other trainers around the world about them
    -Excess money can be stored in banks that grant interest and special gifts upon depositing certain amounts
    -Using a special wristwatch device, players can travel 30 years into the past which features different characters, younger versions of current characters, different layouts, and different wild Pokémon
    -The rival faction is Team Gear whose members wear purple bodysuits with black clock hands on them; they mess with events in the past that affect the present
    -In one part of the game, you must catch a Munchlax in the past to clear the road of a Snorlax in the future, suggesting that past generations of Pokémon will be available from the start
    -The professor is Professor Bristle and the rival is Ricki, a magazine writer who documents the strange events occurring in the past
    -The new generation consists of 99 new Pokémon, many of them baby Pokémon (something Leviathyn writer Ray G. doesn’t want to see) and new evolutions of current Pokémon
    -Sylveon is a Normal Pokémon that evolves based on the new bond level; it is the only new Eeveelution
    -There will be a total of six legendary Pokémon that include Xerneas (Psychic/Rock) and Yveltal (Ghost/Flying) along with four black and white Pokémon based on card suits: a cobra with a heart-shaped hood and tail, a tiger with diamond patterns, a t-rex with spade-shaped eyes, and a peacock with a club-shaped tail
    -Most of the brand new Pokémon will be new type combinations such as Fire/Ice and Dark/Electric (something Leviathyn writer Ray G. does want to see)
    -The types of the final evolutions of the starter Pokémon will be Grass/Flying, Fire/Psychic, and Water

    I shall take them with a large bucket of salt. If they are all true though, then that's a very large shift from the other generations. The whole 'time travel' aspect does sound very interesting though. Sort of like having two regions (Gen.II).

    That 'non-customisable' aspect of the names is sheer bulltrout, if true. And I do wonder what bonuses the 'trainer EXP' system will do. Hrm..

    The bond replacing happiness and combined with Sylveon evolving from bond level can't both happen. Eevee already evolves into Espeon or Umbreon based on happieness, so these changes will result in losing the ability to evolve into either pokémon.

    The 4 black and white pokémon resembling playing cards is also false. There would be 2 black and white, and 2 red and white to match the colors of the four suits.


    I think the whole list of rumors is made up, though some of the ideas are interesting.

    I'm not exactly buying all of it either. Still, I do like some of the ideas.

    I've been following these developments (somewhat loosely) since the announcement, and have been seeing most of the corocoro leaks etc. that have been happening, and this was posted on /vp/ earlier today:

    rumors.png


    Translated, it becomes:
    Gym Leaders:
    Ichou/Ginkgo: Silk Badge (Bug)
    Nazuma: Terra Cotta Badge (Ground)
    Kisage/Scraping: Focus Badge (Psychic)
    Sanza/Thousand: Hazard Badge (Poison)
    Taragon: Wyvern Badge (Dragon)
    Reishi/Litchi: Remnant Badge (Ghost)
    Kinma/Betel: Platina Badge (Steel)
    Kotton/Coton: Chaos Badge (Dark)

    Elite Four and Champion:
    Kumonshi/Kumotsu (Flying)
    Ganbe/Ganpi (Rock)
    Saikachi (Electric)
    Sumeru/Violet (Grass)
    Fuyugaki (Fire/Ice)

    Legendary Pokémon:
    Boruzuniru (Steel/Flying)
    Wirumegu (Dragon/Poison)
    Zeruneasu/Xerneas (Psychic/Ground)
    Iberutaru/Yveltal (Fighting/Flying)
    Zedorashiru/Zeddrasil (Ghost/Grass)
    Rozetanon/"Rosetta Stone" (Rock/Psychic)
    Totairumu (Dragon), Unova's Legendary Original Dragons (Reshiram + Zekrom + Kyurem)
    Genesect's New Forme "Proto Forme" (Bug/Rock), Exclusive Skill: "Megalo Cannon"
    And the second post:
    Chespin = Harimaron -> Harimaroo -> Hariyazutsu (Grass/Fighting)
    Fennekin = Fokko -> Fokusunara -> Kitsunahara (Fire/Ground)
    Froakie = Keroman/Keromatsu -> Ekerokero -> Raierun (Water/Electric)
    It doesn't have any confirmed source but I will totally trout myself if it turns out to be true. It's very convincing regardless of authenticity. Just thought I'd share with you all in case it somehow turns out to be slightly true at all.

    In case you want the moonrunes for whatever reason

    >ゲノセクトのニューフォルム 「プロトフォルム」 (むし・いわ)、 専用技: 「メガロキャノン」


    Second post:

    This can be changed in a new Pokémon game. Milotic in Generation 5 also does not evolve like it did in Generation 3 and 4.

    Still I don't really believe some of these things. You cannot change the main characters' names? Definitely not. I believe it for the "rival main character" since it is normal now that you cannot change his/her name.

    If this list is true, then that's a very interesting type mix-up. Bug types are typically situated towards the beginning of the game (Gen II had it second) so that's no surprise. Ground is quite a uncommon type, at least for me, and is one of those types that I have to look at a type chart for. Still, it's second in the line-up, so it's not so powerful.

    Psychic early on is very uncommon. Gen.III had it seventh;Gen.I had it sixth. It's quite common in the elite four however. It will be interesting what pokemon will be available to combat it so early on in the game. Of course, this is all assuming it is true. Poison also is a uncommon type;only Gen.I and Gen.V has poison. However, poison is linked with Bug and Grass anyway. If Bug is the first gym in Gen.VI, then poison, both as the type and status ailment, might be quite important.

    The final four gym types are all, incredibly high level types. Dragon as the fifth gym! If true, that's a marked departure from the other generations. Ghost is quite a popular mid to late game addition anyway, so there's no surprise where it's at, but Steel is quite uncommon, only having a gym in Gen.II and Gen.IV, though their both late game choices, so this is just another addition. But at long last (if true), Dark gets it's own gym! Finally. It's gone four whole generations with no gym. As a lover of Dark types, I really want to see a Dark gym, at long last.

    Of course, this entire thing could be complete trout. I don't want it to be trout.
