Sixth Gen!

That's right... that was the big announcement. Turns out the announcement was SIXTH GENERATION. EM and I were wrong...

The new starters are going to be called Chespin, Fennekin and Froakie.

Here's some pics of the game that comes out in October 2013...




















Wow the starters are so cute <3

The legendaries look so cool!

Gen 6, no remake?! WTF GAMEFREAK?!?! The starters look pretty cool though and it'll be released this year probably.

GameFreak really broke the trend of a generation per four years, but hey this looks awesome! Also I'd imagine that R/S remakes would come next. This game looks incredible so far, and I'm really liking it.

Fennekin? Fire starter Pokemon - check. Fennec fox (my favourite animal) - check. Looks like I'm loving the starters already.

Also the legendaries look real nice and I don't usually say that. XD

Thanks for sharing Michelle! Also RF, it's released October this year worldwide.

*Double post*

Here's the English trailer:

That's the first time a pokemon game has been released worldwide. Also I'm saving up, I might choose Chespin.

I'm liking the fire type starter (though grass looks cool too) and I think this game can potentially save our 3ds from collecting more dust (only 3ds game I'm really interested in now).

Indeed, first Pokemon game that has a worldwide release at the same time.

i saw pics of this. My friend showed me and i think the starters look dumb... Like y the hell is their a frog -.-. I like the 5th gen starters than these. And ty alot gamefreak for releasing it for 3ds only.... Now im more intrested in pokemon since is actually real looking Also the legendary is what??? why is he a deer with glowing antlers?

It looks like I am going to get this game.It looks cool.

Haha maybe you're right. Although I am getting the next PL game plus Professor vs. Phoenix Wright :3

I'm totally getting Fennekin too!

^Let's make Fennekin fan club. Fennec foxes ftw!

I really like the design of this game. It kind of reminds me of WindWaker with the cell-shading. A mix of 2D and 3D seems like a genius move for GameFreak (so both sprites and 3D models exist together in a way ).

Also the legendaries look pretty mystique and interesting. Hopefully gameplay is as fun as it looks.

6th Gen surprised us all I guess. I didn't expect it at all. XD

Heck yeah! I second this notion. XD

I dunno if I've ever played that game... But yeah, GF did an excellent job.

Indeed... I hope so too. XD

We were so wrong. XD

^Indeed! Also WindWaker is pretty cool if you like unique looking games. XD I'd recommend it! Also I might make the fox topic for the lols.

Also new update! Legendary Pokemon names (English) have been revealed!



"X", the deer like legendary, is now known as Xerneas.



"Y", the bird like legendary, is now known as Yveltal.

Odd names, but I guess they represent the letters that their game versions stand for (X and Y). XD

I'm really liking their names! Those are awesome. They're also a mouthful, too...

^Quite true. They are a mouthful to say lol.

Indeed, they are unique. Yveltal might take some time to get used to, but Xerneas sounds cool. The names will probably grow on me in time.

These games look ok, but they just don't seem like Pokemon to me. I've been used to the overhead view for freakin' ages.

Looking at Yveltal, I've noticed something...


My jaw dropped when I noticed it. You see, it's red, right? And do you see any black lines on it?

Who does this remind you of?

Groudon, of course! This is just speculation, though.



Xerneas is somewhat blue, like Kyogre. However, I haven't found any connections...

^ I see. I guess you're right. huh. That's cool. I'm looking foward to 6th gen because the pkmn looks pertty cool. yeah.

To be honest, when I first saw Yveltal, I was immediately reminded of Groudon. The colouration seemed so familiar and so did the overall design of its arms and body. Though the lines also look like arteries as well in design. XD

Xerneas has that blue and white colouration going on...but other than that, I don't see to much of a connection. Though its appearance is definitely majestic much like Kyogre while Yveltal has that intimidating look that matches Groudon.

Still pretty cool legendaries nonetheless.

I was definitely surprised when sixth gen was announced. I'm still sad my Hoenn remakes are here yet.

Though, I've come to be happy with it. Yveltal and Xerneas seem pretty cool, and the three starters are fantastic. I'm definitely buying X and Y.

^^yes they are XD

It does look certainly different; however, it also appears refreshing in some ways as well (to me at least). Who knows if the game is still in the overhead view in the general gameplay scenes? The gyms and forest part of the trailer still seems quite similar to the original format of the past Pokemon games, so it could be possible.

However, I must admit that games like Pokemon XD: Gale of Darkness were quite amusing to play with the 3D worlds, so I'm quite looking forward to the changes with the new environments. Hopefully these games bring out the true wildlife perspective within the Pokemon series (not even Pokemon XD and Coloesseum had proper 3D wild Pokemon battles). XD

Also as for Hoenn remakes, I'm expecting those will follow shortly sometime after Pokemon X and Y on the 3DS. I think the 3D environments will suit the Ruby and Sapphire games well considering how colourful the original games were (plus, I don't think the original DS system can take much more improvements in terms of a newer Pokemon game).

I have a lot of complaints so far. Pokemon is looking stale.

Froakie is reminiscent of not only Palpitoad, but Poliwag's line. Fennekin is so similar to Vulpix, the original fire fox. Chespin is original though his face looks like the 5th gen water starter (never cared to learn his name). Still, Chespin looks the most original and best of the three in my opinion.

The legendaries are just a joke, as they all are to me.

I'm losing interest...

As of my ancient tradition, I'm going to start with the water type. So, I really like this gen so far, and I hope customization is actually in the game.

New Pokemon has been revealed!

Spoiler:

^Lol, I was ninja'd

That looks really cute and beautiful! x3
