That would lend credence to thoughts that Z will likely be based on Jörmungandr.

No way that's legit.

Luxray's line probably is largely based on the sphinx. But a sphinx is largely based around a lion.
has to be thats like getting 3 gens at once

Holy crap! Today's real megaton is that more than two people can have the same first name.
Just read this on another forum. Interesting theory.
The Y shaped legendary is a bird. Birds fly. Height. Y-Axis.
The X shaped legendary is a deer. A land mammal. Across. X-Axis.
A third one with a Z-shape might correspond to water, as in depth?

which means he is the best!

He also hated the Jews.
Or maybe it'll just be a cube.

Unless you really expect X and Y to have 350 new Pokemon, yes. XP
Oh thats plausible, I hope so.
What sort of european mythos would be good for an aquatic pokemon and the letter Z...

It's consistent with the Germanic god trilogy that I-forgot-their-pseudos proposed

Nah, dex numbers haven't been released yet. They're placeholders.
Even though the starters are probably going to come one after the other, in the order grass/fire/water, it's unknown whether there's gonna be another Victini situation that shifts everyone up again. And Xerneas and Yveltal are going to be somewhere the end, but it's unlikely that 200+ Pokemon are gonna be added this gen, lol. That's too crazy.
They are. It's just that Sphinxes are half humans/half lions and the Shinx-Luxray lines doesn't have any human. Which leaves lion.

Nice placeholder son

Eh, should've known. As if this region would have more Pokemon than the first two combined.
The end had me in stitches XD. And seems like he likes chespin the best....or should say hate less.
More than 700 Pokémon indeed.

Placeholders. All we know is there will be at least 50 added.
That was great lol.

I'm betting ~110-125 Pokemon this time out. Not enough to fill a region with them alone a la Black and White, but a healthy dollop.

I suspected that we are getting water related pokemon.
That's true. Here are other two evidences that might link Shinx's lines to Sphinx even more.
#1 Evidence
From wiki.
Look at his ears and tail. Three stars.
#2 Evidence
Look at his front legs. I believed that it is a nice reference to Egyptian arm bracelets.
#3 Evidence
I noticed colors were egyptians. Black, gold and blue are common colors for mummy coffin and statues.
As much as I liked Unnova being region exclusive I think I'd be fine with that not being repeated.

Evidence 4: Sphinx -p = Shinx
But that doesn't even make sense, as the Z-axis also runs along the land. A bit of a stretch, I think. That said, the idea of the third legendary being water-based just makes sense.

This is the most intense Luxray conversation I've ever seen. I like it.

I just had a idea about the X, Y and Z thing for axis! What if the use a X, Y and Z coordinate-system to hide a special place in every game where you can catch the Gen 6 equivalent of Mew or similar? I mean it like this, lets say for example you have Pokémon X and at one point you will solve a riddle that gives you X=26 as a answer. Then you connect to someone with Pokémon Y over the internet and get another riddle which lets say gives you Y=143 and then finally should they release Pokémon Z you get your third number, Z=58 which you can use to fly to these specific coordinates and discover a island in the sky or something along these lines or even a gateway to another universe where you face the special Pokémon.
Oh and these numbers would be randomly generated for each game so nobody can post it online and make it easier for others
That was just a random idea I had but I think it would be nice and make people work together

Let's see...
-3 sets of 3-stage starters
-8 Legendaries (Two trios, the Mew-expy and another)
-3-stage bird
-2-stage rodent
-2-stage misc. Normal-type
-3-stage pseudo-Legendary
-Two-stage Water-type
All of these are pretty much a given, and we can extrapolate from there.

I like this; just a nice look at how the series has evolved visually over the years:
And now for Pokemon X and Pokemon Y:
The battles look nothing but stunning

I planned to pick Froakie but my friend might shotgun for him first. I'm fine with Chespin.

And looking at the .gifs above I think I figured out why they gave every Pokémon a "circle" under their feet even though we now pretty much have 3D battle arenas, think of what would happen if you use a water or rather fish-like Pokémon while you are in a forest for example... it would need such a circle :/

The pokemon are apparantly based on norse mythology so it would be a snake, serpent or dragon.
Froakie won second in the poll. He doesn't need your pittances.
My love for this line of pokemon skyrocketed just now.

Man, in that screen it looks like they could be on the exact same hardware.
EDIT: Of course, Gen 3 had terrible spritework, especially for the new Pokemon (Metagross, Lombre, Poochyena, Salamence, Torkoal, Milotic and more)

I used one on my first team to beat Diamond Version, and I have one on my current team in Black 2. I'm a fan too.
Froakie Friday is coming.

Yeah... Diamond/Pearl wasted all that extra power (lol) the DS gave them. In fact, they were quite redundant as new entries in the series (yes, I know about the Physical/Special split, and yes, I know about the inclusion of online play... I just think that Black/White could have been the first DS games in the series with those improvements included, and no one would have realized there was an entire transitive generation in there missing).
That said, at least they played well and were largely good games.
