Which stores are leaking early? In Phoenix area. If anyone has found it, please PM to help a fellow GAFfer

 

[Tan]

Probably late on this but someone on reddit saying you can pet/pat your pokemon after a battle?

 

[Canti.]

Another one bites the dust.

Wait! You're telling me mega Scizor is a possibility.

Please be true

 

[Dion Blaster]

I was thinking he about The Origins, so I was thinking Blastoise but you're probably right, if you can battle him at all. I know half my posts are #59 based, but man it's not fair that Houndoom is the fire dog that's gonna get a mega... So sad.

Ohh I haven't seen Origins. Yeah Mega Arcanine would be great for his usability, hard to improve on that design though.

 

[Winterfang]

Mega Banette fanart is so dope

Believe

Oh Snap, I had a similar idea. I'm sure they must be a lot of Unzip Banette evo ideas. Mine had huge Gorilla like arms and was Ghost/Fighting.

Do we know if there still is a world championship with old gym leaders and champions like in BW2?

Pikachu, great job!

 

[Azure J]

HE'S HERE!

In the first artwork of Lumiose, you could see Looker and Colress walking in the background. Looker's confirmed, so is Colress in?

OH

MY

FUCK.

Can it be time for "BEST BATTLE THEME: REEEEEE*air horns go off*MIX" please?

 

[BriseFlots]

Nope.

No as "we don't know" or no as "there are no tournament"?

 

[-Horizon-]

So let me get this straight, if I get Fennekin as a starter, I'll get Chespin later in the game? And if I go with Froakie I get Fennekin later on? Chespin will get Froakie?

 

[Sami+]

So has anyone taken pictures of the customization? I really want to see the male hairstyles.

Torn between choosing male or female this time, haha. Females usually get more options whenever customization is involved, so that's something to consider, but I am a guy so if it's about even I'll just go for him.

 

[Buttons]

Anyone who has Y already know if you can get Psyduck early on. I need a Psyduck. xD

Anyone found out where to get Dedenne as well?

 

[ramyeon]

Yep that's correct

 

[ArchedThunder]

There is no tournament.

 

[BriseFlots]

There is no tournament.

Thank you.

 

[-Horizon-]

Yep that's correct

First time I'm actually conflicted on what starter to get then. I want Fennekin but I don't want Chespin. If I get Froakie first I can get Fennekin later at least.

Hmm I guess I'm leaning towards Froakie then.

Wait for me Fennekin, I'll get you as soon as I can!

I made this, it's not 100% accurate and purely based off my finding but it may come in handy for some.

You might want to use some different colors for exclusive and rarity... Pretty handy, otherwise.

 

[The Hermit]

HAAAAA...WHY AM I SO HYPED FOR A FREAKING POKEMON GAME ??!?!?

I only played the original blue version... maybe it because I watched Pokemon Origins yesterday?



Nintendo marketing on old Pokemon players is working I guess

 

[Sandfox]

Just picked up my copy of the game from the store. I may get a little time in but I have class until 10 pm pst tonight

It just occurred to me that Serebii's gonna go crazy when making the customization section. ;P

 

[Chaotic-Strike]

Has anyone confirmed if stealth rock has been nerfed yet?

 

[strangedopamine]

Has this been posted yet?

- Thunderbolt is now 90 Power, not 95. As is Flamethrower, Surf & Ice Beam
- Will-O-Wisp's accuracy has been increased to 85%

 

[Subtervotion]

PURE STEEL

YES! And apparently getting Filter to reduce super effective moves.

Looks like they're easing off the whole offense throttle of gen V.

I'm okay with that. Anything happen to Earthquake, though?

 

[StreetsAhead]

Earthquake is BP40 with 85% acc.

Spoiler

lolno

 

[strangedopamine]

No idea. This info was the last thing posted by Serebii in his discovery thread.

Link.

Earquake is BP40 with 85% acc. ]

New move for Fennekin?

Or you can just trade.

bullshit, look at Xerneas

 

[Sigismundo]

bullshit, look at Xerneas

He's not gonna get played in their official metagames so they can make him as offensive or overpowered as they like.

 

[ivysaur12]

We need a Mega Jynx. It's what we deserve.

 

[Demoncarnotaur]

Mega Tyran looks great!

Man, I wish somewhere in Pittsburgh would sell this early.

What?! o: Looker AND Gary?
Man, should really leave this thread, but it's so hard.. ;~;

I get my game tomorrow at midnight since gamestop is doing a midnight release here.
Can't wait! When is the Torchic event likely to go live? I really wanna start with it.

 

[Kirlia]

no it's not

I think it's more of what Jynx deserves.

 

[Winterfang]

Why the hell are they gimping special moves? When the physical ones offer more power with better trade off?

Where's my special Earthquake relative.

100 base power
100 accuracy
Hits multiple targets
Super effective against a wide range of types
Almost everyone can learn it.

 

[Zelias]

Minor compared to the Mega evo and move change bombs, but I encountered a horde of four Plusle and a Minun. I captured the Minun, it had Volt Absorb. I don't think it had this as a hidden ability before?

Exactly. You named one powerful physical move. GF nerfed three special moves.

95 base power
100 accuracy
Super effective against more types than EQ in sum
Almost everyone can learn these moves.

That's the reasonable strategy! Who said I was looking for that!?

Spoiler

MEGA MEDICHAM INCOMING!!

It's the first Pokemon I ever EV Trained, my #1 fighter! Oh my goddddddddddddddd

 

[PreyingShark]

Well, more than three special moves but the 120 power ones that were nerfed to 110 were all stupidly good in the right weather for one reason or another.

The four 95 BP moves that were nerfed are just 5 BP and kinda deserved it.

 

[ArchedThunder]

MEGA MEDICHAM INCOMING!!

Do you mean incoming as in the guy is catching a Medicham?

 

[Varna]

If you live near Long Beach CA a store is selling them already. No idea if this is a chain or anything. Someone told me about it so I just walk in casually and bought 4 copies for co-workers and myself.

EDIT: You are right Sandfox. If anyone needs the name PM me.

 

[Sandfox]

So good...


I wouldn't recommend naming stores in topic like that tbqh.
