More Pokemon X & Y Rumours Emerge

pokemon_logo

Pokebeach, the publication that got the four latest Pokemon names correct, has received a fresh batch of rumours related to the forthcoming Pokemon X & Y. The source behind the information can’t be verified, so it’s clearly worth taking this latest batch of information with a grain of salt. That being said, Pokemon Smash will air later today, and Junichi Masuda, one of the founding members of Game Freak, will be on the show. Let’s hope we get some fresh Pokemon X & Y information. Anyway, here’s those delicious rumours.

  • Pancham evolves into Pangoro in the early level 30s. In order to evolve Pancham into Pangoro, you need to have one other Dark-type Pokemon in your party. Pangoro’s type is Fighting/Dark.
  • A Pokemon named Inkay evolves into Malimar. To evolve it, you have to hold your 3DS upside-down when it levels up (the 3DS has an accelerometer and gyroscope, so it can detect that). Malimar’s type is Dark/Psychic.
  • A Psychic-type Pokemon named Espurr (ESP + purr) evolves into Meowstick (Meow + mystic?). (Sounds like Psychic-type cats. Meowstick’s name sounds too similar to Meowth to me though.)
  • Like in B/W you have two rivals – one is friendly and the other is competitive. Your rival that is more friendly gives you his/her fully evolved starter Pokemon after you beat the game.
  • Another professor named Sycamore gives you either Bulbasaur, Charmander, or Squirtle.
  • Even though it shows the player riding on a Gogoat in the new trailer, players can’t ride on their own Pokemon. What was shown is just an alternate way of getting around Lumiose City and it only works with Gogoat.
  • HMs still exist but there’s a lot less of them.
  • Players will be able to see their Pokemon’s EVs (probably through the same in-game facility mentioned in the other post).
  • A new move, Belch, is a Poison-type attack that has a base power of 120. The user must consume a held Berry to perform it.
  • Draining Kiss is a Fairy-type attack that heals the user for the same amount of damage performed. It has a base power of 60.
  • If the previously revealed forme of Mewtwo can be said to look roughly similar to Mewtwo’s original design, the second supposed form of Mewtwo can be said to look roughly/vaguely similar to Mew’s design.
  • In case you missed our correction the other day, the Starters’ final evolutions are Fire/Psychic, Grass/Dark, and Water/Fighting.

      1. Because once the greedy chinks that run nintendo realize they’re out of the hardware business they will sell their company to EA.

        1. A) That’s racist B) Nintendo is run by Japanese people not Chinese people C) Nintendo is far better than EA and if you think otherwise you are sadly mistaken D) EA is far greedier than Nintendo

        1. Mass Effect is most likely going to suck.
          Mirror’s Edge was okay, really good at the parkour, shit with combat and enemies, but that IP is practically dead.
          Dante’s Inferno was good, but like Mirror’s Edge, currently dead.
          And Dragon Age 2 was fucking shit, so i dont hold much hope.

          It’s all about the money with EA, so i dont expect a Mirror’s Edge or Dante’s Inferno sequel.

                  1. Ahh Nintedward, drinking away your sorrows. I bet you are out cold after only a few sips because most Brits I know are fragile, little things! Lololol!

                    1. Hes a britt but from the scotland side so i think he knows how to handle a drink.

        1. Here’s a few more: Buttstick, Weedstick, Jigglystick, Oddstick, Manstick, Lickstick, Horsestick, Mr.Stick, Lapstick, Chikstick, Megastick, Furstick, Ledystick, Milstick, Ho-stick, Explostick, Haristick, Mawstick, Gulpstick, Numstick, Vibestick

      1. Nah, that sounds like a perfectly reasonable Pokemon name, i mean, most Pokemon names are done that way in all generations, Blastoise, Salamance, Cyndaquill, Torterra, Mudkip, Meowstick is as believable as any other Pokemon name.

        1. Hmmm , I suppose your right. But I don’t like the sound of it my self. It’s like they’re trying to combine Meow and Stick into Mystic and failing.

    1. Thats the part that for me made the most sense. I imagine the Pokémon that looks like a ice cream cone, when he is leveling up you shake the 3ds and it turns into milkshake. :P

          1. Worst gen? Worst designs? Bullshit. Every gen had an equal amount of shit designs. I mean look at first gen, the POS it was. A pokeball with eyes. It’s eveolution is it flipped upside down with a mouth. Muk is a pile of shit. Literally. Ditto is a grape soda stain that became sentient. 5 gen pokes weren’t bad at all

      1. They need to have a pokemon that evolves by turning the 3d on while its leveling up. And it changes from a flat pokemon to a 3 dimensional one

  1. Never know with rumours, but some of those sound a little bizarre. I mean, evolutions that require particular types in the party and holding the console upside down? It’d be different, for sure I suppose.

    And I’ll be pretty disappointed if the riding thing is so terribly limited!

    1. Well, there was having the empty party slot to get Shedinja, and having Remoraid in the party to evolve mantyke.

  2. ‘Another professor named Sycamore gives you either Bulbasaur, Charmander, or Squirtle.’

    Seriously!??!? I really hope this rumour is true, I’d love to have the original starters again (anything for my Bubasaur!)

    Also, really happy for the news on the Fire/Psychic starter news.

    1. Not necesary. It could give a new fun way to have cool color Pokémon variations. Shake your leveling up green Pokémon to turn it dark green etc.

      1. Really now… Does not ANYONE consider the fact that Gamefreak are the ones behind creating the games & Nintendo just publishes? Why are Nintendo made to look as if they’re the ones behind the entire concept? A/W Gamefreak should add more gyms than just 8

        1. You did got the joke… giginox is a monster that has a head and a butt that looks like a butt so it can suck while you ride them :P

  3. Besides that stupid fairy shit, I dont mind these rumors lol. Evolving by turning your 3DS upside down…whats next to evolve a fire pokemon your 3DS needs to get heated up so go outside in the sun and it must be a certain temperature to evolve it lol.

    1. Why don’t people like the “fairy” type? It sounds awesome! Just wait. I bet you a million bucks there will be a fairy/dragon type pokemon that is like beautiful looking. All white and serene. Just wait, that one Pokemon will change your mind on fairy type. 💋

  4. Ooo that last one in the rumors fire/psychic, grass/dark water/fighting starters would be a pretty big deal considering they are more Lvld with each other in type advantage/disadvantage and each could have a advantage over their previous starters….. that leaked my interest

  5. No matter how many changes they add to the game, I’m willing to bet that it’s still just gonna feel like the same old thing all over again. (- _ -)

    1. And this last Anonymous comment was from ME, Mr. Retro Junkie. Why does it keep signing me out all of the sudden?

    2. nope. Game Freak/Nintendo broke tradition with the black and white series. The old games are epic and dominant, while a 100% satisfaction rating in recent games is recesive, from a scientific point of view.

    1. Yes, I know! And while they are making weird type combinations I think they should make a water/fire type. Just saying. 💋

  6. “Your rival that is more friendly gives you his/her fully evolved starter Pokemon after you beat the game.”
    That’s awesome!

  7. Draining Kiss… Giga Drain much? except that it leeches exactly the same amount of HP the ennemy took instead of half. I expect 5PP for that move. 10max.

  8. Rumours are not news. I’d appreciate if a site that has the word news on the title would concentrate on actual, verified news.

    1. The site explicitly states these are rumours, if you don’t want to hear about rumours, nothing is keeping you from not reading the article.

    1. Me too.
      I understand why theyre there, but it got to the point where you constantly needed to have like 9 HM’s in your party, and especially water Pokemon, you have Surf, Waterfall, Whirlpool and Dive, it renders your Pokemon useless.
      If in honest, HM’s are kind of restrictive on my gameplay. Id enjoy the game WAY more if i could choose any Pokemon i wanted, without thinking “i need one to Fly, one to Surf, one for Strength, one for Rock Smash”
      I’d prefer it if HM’s were items instead, for you have a little dingy boat instead of Surf, for Strength all your Pokemon just hell you push the boulder ect, free up the space and let us carry the 6 Pokemon we want, rather than what we need.

  9. I will definitely be annoyed if these final evolution types are true like everyone for some reason wants. The point is that each starter is supposed to have an advantage over the other, and Fire/Psychic is a terrible type combination anyway.

  10. do you know whats weird i just talked to this guy from west africa for an hour about life, going on to talk to strangers to make fun of people ended up in a really neat thing that i never would have had other wise.

  11. I hope your rival doesn’t end up giving you his or her starter Pokemon. Why would that be a thing? I want to rematch my rivals with a strong team. That’s kinda gone if they get rid of his or her strongest Pokemon!

    1. According to this, the friendly rival gives you their started so I would guess that you can still have rematchs against the competetive one. They are probably the better trainer anyways.

  12. Maybe their idea was that pancham isnt evil and with the influence of a dark type it evolves if this stuff is true

  13. I think this all sounds plausible. The one thing is Meowstick… that is close to Meowth and just sounds kind of odd? Also I like the holding 3DS upside down. It is a new way to evolve that still isn’t to complicated. The thing that makes this sound real for me: Fairy type is weak againts Poison (according to other rumors) and there is both a new fairy type move and a poison move. It just seems to all work very well together. In the video it showed a male character in a forest and the female around the corner so I am betting that whichever one you do not choose will become your friend and the competitive one will be the same no matter what.

    1. Stopped following pokwmon after heart gold. Theres to many pokemon and personally i think its a gimmick,maybe im just getting older :/

      1. Well, that’s a new record. Most people stopped after Pewter City after seeing all this “Clefairy bullshit, I remember when Caterpies were special an hour ago”, but you stopped right before Gen 5.

      2. Same here. I only played through Pokémon Diamond, and I couldn’t get myself interested in any more. Well, I bought Emerald, HeartGold and both Black & White versions (White), but I can’t get myself to play them. They all feel like just one LONG, extended game.

  14. What in the HECK is the point of receiving your rival’s fully evolved starter Pokemon after beating the game? You don’t play a game anymore after beating it. At least I don’t. I don’t see any point in continuing playing.

  15. People actually consider EA good?

    They don’t have a single good IP. They killed Mass Effect. Dragon Age 2 was god fuckin awful, and I doubt 3 will change anything, specially considering The Witcher 3 is coming out as well. Mirrors Edge was god tier, but I hope to god they never touch it again because nothing good will come out of it. Dead Space died with 3. Battlefield died with 3 (trying to turn Battlefield into COD was a really smart business practice.)

    It saddens me that some people will actually eat the shit EA gives them.

    And this is not to mention terrible business practices hidden behind their gay community support. I have nothing against it gays, but when people complained about ME3, they called the fans homophobics, when they were voted the worst company in the US, same excuse and so on. The way they represent the gay community is completely tasteless. Would I be gay, I’d be deepy offended, because the way they write characters (or Bioware in this case) is just retarded. A character should be interesting first. Sexual orientation should come second, if it even needs to be there.

    1. the reason why gay characters were added and that you could have the option of being gay was for more than just that. Firstly it’s an RPG, you can customize your character to your liking. secondly, you could already have a gay female romance in previous games but not gay male, so it was a double standard. lastly, some creators themselves will be gay or bi, and most likely (same for players)want to have the option, instead of being forced to be single or in an hetero relationship.

  16. An intriguing discussion may be valued at comment. I’m sure that you should write regarding this topic, may well be described as a taboo subject but normally folks are there are not enough to chat on such topics. Yet another. Cheers
