So, the starters' types were revealed(nothing unexpected) but not Xerneas' and Yveltal's? :<

They are the first two typeless pokemon.

 

[BuggyDClown]

So how far ahead did we get the starter evolutions fior black and white?

I'm guessing they're saving that for much later. But like others have said, it'd better not be Dragon.

No Strengths. No Weaknesses.

Spoiler

No attacks.

 

[ffdgh]

Or the first non dragon legends in years

So how far ahead did we get the starter evolutions fior black and white?

We didn't get them officially - the entire list was leaked sometime before release (and caused a little controversy with the takedown notices and whatnot). Before that, Servine and Dewott were leaked in a reference sheet for the (at the time) new season.

Reposting my summary thing:

Alright, continuing from last time, here's a rough summary of the info rush for BW, from February to September:

February
- Zorua/Zoruark
March
- ...
April
- 9th: Official Site goes live
- Nuvema Town, Castelia City, Chargestone Cave, new combined Pokemon Center
May
- Hilda/Hilbert art, starters, names, species, Dreamyard, Nacrene City, Nimbasa City, Isshu, Foul Play/Claw Sharpen/Illusion
- Site update: Skyarrow Bridge, more Castelia City, BW, Resh/Zek, release dates
June
- Minccino, Munna, Klink, Pidove, Darmanitan, Blitzle, Sandile, and all their abilities and some moves Resh/Zek typing, ability, dex info, C-Gear, new dex, Professor Juniper, more screenshots, Random Match
- PokeSun trailer: more screenshots, N sneak peek
- Oha Suta: Haxorus, Drilbur, Excadrill, Cofagrigus, Galvantula, Reuniclus, Gothitelle, Triple Battles, Launcher Battles, Entralink
July
- Unofficial anime sheet thing shows Woobat, Servine, Dewott, Axew
- From that toy thing, Pansage
- From demo, Tranquill
- Patrat
- Musharna, Braviary, Fennel, Belle, Cheren, N, Black City/White Forest, Xtransciever, region map, Global Link, IR, minor beginning story details
- Victini name + distro details
- Oha Suta: Watchog, Deerling, Musicals, Seasons, Lenora
August
- 7th: Emolga, Gigalith, Alomomola, Sewaddle
- 8th: Basculin, Audino, Battle Subway
- Some Plasma info, infinite TMs
- 30th: Pledges
September
- ALL THE THINGS

So, going from this, the majority of info came form CoroCoro, with Pokemon Smash providing a lot of overlap (except in motion sometimes), and some surprise trailers from Oha Suta. Using this as a template... there's still a whole lot of info we could still get that we haven't gotten yet. For example, lots and lots of Pokemon reveals.

Spoiler

I foresee some Facebook/Twitter nonsense ahead for some reason...

 

[Uncle0wnage]

Water psychic type, names are placeholders, whatcha think?

 

[Qurupeke]

They are the first two typeless pokemon.

???/???

Supereffective against everything but also weak to everything. And they can't be poisoned, burned, confuse, frozed, paralyzed.

 

[Neiteio]

We may not know their types, but we now have high-res art of Yveltal and Xerneas, so I'm happy. Will turn them into a nice 1600x900 wallpaper for the desktop when I get home.

 

[Qurupeke]

I'm guessing they're saving that for much later. But like others have said, it'd better not be Dragon.


No Strengths. No Weaknesses.

Spoiler

No attacks.

At least Xerneas is surely not dragon. Damn, until Gen III Dragon was Pokemon Elite. Now they're too common...

 

[Neiteio]

There wouldn't happen to be native PNG versions of the hi-res legendary art, would there?

 

[Tiamant]

All right Nintendo, you've done it again. After days reading this thread I've bought a 3DS XL to start a new game of White 2 to ease the hype. You can rest DS Lite, you've done good.

Also I've bought PokeRadar.



I hate you Nintendo, but at the same time I'm your bitch, I hope my vitabros can forgive me someday

 

[Makonero]

They're both currently ??? types.

 

[Qurupeke]

They're both currently ??? types.

And ??? Pokemon.

 

[Schadenfreude]

Wait, we have hi-res artwork of the legendaries? Link?

 

[Sora_N]

Just gonna repost this for the new page.

Damn, might be interested but I recently rebought SS (lost it) and bought Plat, haven't touched them yet so sadly cannot grab those off you.

All of the chestnuts will go to whoever makes a Chespin the Hedgehog emblem.

 

[GiantEnemyGoomba]

EDIT: Beaten, and probably not a good idea to post such hi-res pics in such a big thread.

 

[Qurupeke]

Yveltal looks like it has a transparent body.

 

[789shadow]

Quote please.

 

[zroid]

I never noticed before now that those coloured things in the antlers are actually... separate antlers? That intertwine with the white antlers?

Weird!

:O Sorry, this thread moves faster than a speed forme Deoxys. Thanks for the link.

 

[Hot Coldman]

Xerneas is Steel/Psychic. Calling it.

Dunno about Yveltal. Maybe it's only Flying!

 

[Diddy Kong]

Water psychic type, names are placeholders, whatcha think?

I like them! The final evo reminds me of Mallow's Grandpa in SMRPG. Awesome name too

Weird? More like awesome.

These should be more amenable:

[Ran rp]

Some great art featuring Chespin.

 

[XaosWolf]

This person deserves money. I need this on my walls. All of them.

 

[Odrion]

The graphics look pretty subpar, to be honest. I guess the actual pokemon themselves are rendered decent enough, but the environments look awful and the animation for everything looks... Off.

But still, neat I guess.

 

[zroid]

BTW if you just want to download the press package yourselves: http://press.nintendo.com/downloads/2013/011413_Pokemon_X_Pokemon_Y_assets.zip

 

[IceDoesntHelp]

I...don't get it.

Love this though!!!

YOU LOOK SUBPAR

 

[Hypatia]

I want this as a poster.

Fiber optics! Or less glamorous neon.

No problem.

 

[papercamm]

I am extremely confused by that Chespin Feebas Magickarp thing. The Yggdrasil art is amazing.

In B2/W2, you can make movies at the "PokéStar Studios."

The Feebas is on the movie set directing the trailer for X and Y.

 

[Qurupeke]

Woah.

 

[zroid]

The comic is framing the "shooting" of the X&Y trailer like a PokeStar Studios thing. They tricked Magikarp into getting solarbeamed in order to record the trailer.

 

[eudaemonic]

Avatar changed to reflect my excitement for Chespin!

Spoiler

... and Bob's Burgers!

 

[Dragoon En Regalia]

The last panel still doesn't make any sense at all, though. And, even if someone knows what it means, that doesn't make it funny.

 

[Santiako]

This one is pretty nice

Switch their hats.

Now.

 

[Neiteio]

That stained glass Yggdrasil art is amazing. I posted it in the mythology thread.

 

[ffdgh]

This one is pretty nice

all 3 2nd evos look cool
froakie's 3rd evo is the only one I like.

 

[zroid]

Yeah, it isn't that funny

Chespin's expression is cute, though!

 

[sammyCYBORG]

Some great art featuring Chespin.

This is adorable. Chespin better not evolve into anything awful. It would break me.

Water psychic type, names are placeholders, whatcha think?

I like the idea of an old-man frog. I think it fits well.

 

[Kouriozan]

My Chespin is always cute <3

I loled x)

....AMAZING!!

 

[eudaemonic]

Switch their hats.

Now.

It's balanced as it is seeing how Louise wears the green dress. I don't wanna give her a pink dress; that's not her style. I like idea though.

 

[Ainaurdur]

That particular 3rd evo Froakie looks an awful lot like Swampert. Which could be good or bad depending on whether you liked him.
