Pokemon X and Y Leaks, Releases Early

Not open for further replies.
I think leakers have been reporting around 35?

Where did you get the 20 hour mark from?

i think from a few reviews... or might be another game, no clue. 35 seems reasonable enough.


how prevalent are tag and rotation battles from trainers in the wild? While i enjoy them in concept, that feel when the only super effective move you got atm targets everyone :(
 
a huge blow to Special Sweepers, Hidden Power has a base power of 60 now (no longer IV based power)

Roserade seems to be the only sweeper with Technician. It might work nicely in its favor in that case.

Because what is the point in giving you a Pokemon you can easily go and catch yourself? In past games where there has been a trade before a Gym, i.e Onix, Makuhita, Machop, Seedot, etc. the Pokemon in question weren't catchable at this point in the game. However, like I said, it could just be that Farfetch'd is very rare and I got lucky finding one.

Yeah ok but what does that have to do with beating a gym..

I'm slightly considering a jump to #teamY, my power of will is shattering!
At least until an X leaker confirms that Heracross and several other pokes are available on that version too.

so consensus on beating the main campaign is around 20 hours?

hmmm... have been mostly blazing through black 2, and in game clock says 40 hours before elite 4.

I dunno. Pokemon campaign seems hard to quantify.

If you just get your starter to be insane overleveled and go straight to the gyms/story you can finish pretty quickly.

If you take your time catching/training different Pokemon, looking around the map it can add some hours. Thought the training part seems like it can be skipped with the new Exp. Share.

It was confirmed fake


I really want to give that idiot who spread the rumor a piece of my mind.

EDIT: I suppose that's only for local battles, but we can reasonably assume that wifi battles will function similarly.

Aw, that's lame, but I guess it was too good to be true.

IV's are the only thing keeping me away from competitive battling. Breeding is just too tedious.

True. i guess i did take my time with black2, first pokemon game for a long while did i have a good 4 or so strong core party.


But the consensus is the new one is easy? hmmm... I kinda liked/hated how every pokemon you fight in b2/w2 seemed to have a move super effective against their weakness type lol.

So are Vivillon's colors changing depending on what in-game region you are in as camouflage? I've seen different colored ones but I don't know the reason.
 
it's pretty crazy to think we won't know what new shinies look like for months, if not years as images slowly trickle in.

Are we absolutely sure the data cannot be dumped? Otherwise it's going to be a painful road of finding random percents for moves, shiny colors, etc.
 
So according to my Pokedex, Weedle and Kakuna are common in X, while Caterpie has a limited location and Metapod is not catchable. Can anyone with Y confirm this?

So how will the retyping work for pokemon deposited in the PokeBank? Will its data be broken down and "spawn" a new pokemon with the new typing? As in, I can't trade the same pokemon back and forth between Pokemon Y and White 2?

We already knew it was a one-way transfer, but that kind of information is stored in the game, not the Pokemon's data.

if its like other games of transfering, its a 1 way trip.



So did they change up the pokemon catching system? saw the video of the dude catching the X legendary with 1 ultraball o_O

What's the story on Heracross for Pokémon X? Because ideally I'd like him in my party during my first run trough the game. He's my favourite Pokémon after all.
 
For anyone curious. I am at 9 hours and have only just got the second gym badge. I haven't felt as though I have been grinding, but I have not rushed through.

With the exception of Coumarine City and Geosenge Town, I'm incredibly disappointed with the XY OST :( I'm a MASSIVE fan of the music on Pokémon games, particularly those pieces composed by Hitomi Sato!

It's a shame all the other tracks (so far) have just been totally weak :(

Oh, but the Professor Sycamore Lab Music...am I playing a Tales of or Dragon Quest game?! It's pretty awesome :)

The best songs aren't on the internet yet.

IMO it has the best battle themes in the series, and it's the ones I love the most in jRPGs usually so I am very satisfied.

Was planning to get X for Clauncher, but after being set on Froakie, I don't need another water type on my team... should I get Y instead? I think Y has the nicer looking Charizard. Can't make up my mind...

Well, Masuda I recall saying Shinies appeared more often (I think it's tied to how much you "tip" since the leakers mentioned it had an unknown function), plus we've got millions of players playing, statistically I imagine more or less every Pokemon will have their Shiny encountered pretty fast with so many people playing, but then it's a matter of whether or not they share a picture of it.
