Nintendo have announced Pokemon X and Pokemon Y for the Nintendo 3DS. They will both be released worldwide on October 12, 2013.

 

 

In what could be described as an Evolution beyond all Evolutions, Mega Evolution is a new, awe-inspiring transformation certain Pokémon can undergo during battle in the highly anticipatedPokémon X and Pokémon Y video games. Pokémon that Mega Evolve will tap into hidden reserves of strength and power that have never been realized in their regular Evolutions, giving players battling with a Mega-Evolved Pokémon a dominant advantage. Mega Evolutions will revolutionize Pokémon battles and usher in a new Pokémon transformation never before seen in the Pokémon world.

 

Pokémon like Mega Mewtwo and Mega Lucario will harness the power of Mega Evolution in battle and will see their looks change and stats increase, giving Trainers a great advantage against their opponents. Some Pokémon that Mega Evolve may even change their Ability or type while in battle. Only certain Pokémon, under certain conditions, can Mega Evolve, and unlike regular Evolution, Mega Evolution only occurs during battle—once the battle ends, the Mega-Evolved Pokémon will return to its usual state. One crucial element to undergoing Mega Evolution is a particular kind of item called a Mega Stone. Mega Stones are special stones that exist for all Pokémon that can Mega Evolve, each named after the Pokémon to which it grants power. For instance, the Lucarionite Mega Stone will help Lucario Mega Evolve. Mega Stones are hidden throughout the Kalos region, and players must find them to unlock the incredible power of Mega Evolution.

 

One Mega Stone, Blazikenite, will not be found during normal gameplay in Pokémon X or Pokémon Y. Players of the new titles will need to participate in a special limited-time Wi-Fi distribution event via Nintendo Network to get a Torchic holding a Blazikenite Mega Stone. This is how players can receive the Blazikenite Mega Stone when the new titles launch. The character distribution begins October 12th, the same day Pokémon X and Pokémon Y launches worldwide for the Nintendo 3DS family of systems, and this distribution event will only last for a short period of time. Players will need to evolve the Torchic they receive via the distribution into Combusken and finally into Blaziken in order to harness the power of this Mega Stone and Mega Evolve Blaziken into Mega Blaziken.

The Torchic received in this distribution also has the Hidden Ability Speed Boost, a very powerful Ability that increases a Pokémon’s Speed at the end of every turn. This limited-time character distribution event allows players to get a Torchic with Speed Boost, which becomes incredibly effective once they Mega Evolve Blaziken into Mega Blaziken.

 

Brand-New Method of Pokémon Training: Super Training! 

Super Training or S.T. is being introduced in Pokémon X and Pokémon Y, allowing players to help their Pokémon grow stronger when they’re not in battle. On the Touch Screen of the Nintendo 3DS system, players can have their Pokémon participate in Super Training, activities that will increase a Pokémon’s base stats, the underlying values that define its HP, Attack, Defense, Sp. Atk, Sp. Def, and Speed stats.

One Super Training activity involves having Pokémon train by facing huge Pokémon-shaped Balloon Bots in a virtual space, with both sides trying to shoot balls into the opponent’s goal. Using the Circle Pad and Touch Screen to avoid shots from the Balloon Bots while landing their own in the goal, players will enjoy this action-packed feature while increasing their Pokémon’s base stats to help them become stronger for battle.

For a more casual way to help Pokémon strengthen their base stats, Core Training lets players set up training bags, earned by completing Super-Training Regimens, for Pokémon in their party to use. Pokémon will work on Core Training by themselves, raising their stats on their own. By tapping on the Touch Screen during a Core Training session, players can help their Pokémon increase their base stats, too. Players will be able to see how their Pokémon are doing at their Core Training at any time from the main Super Training screen.

 

By emitting radio waves from its antenna-shaped whiskers, new Electric- and Fairy-type Pokémon Dedenne can communicate with far-off allies. It can also plug its tail into outlets to drain electricity from them. Its Ability,Cheek Pouch, is new to Pokémon X and Pokémon Y. If a Pokémon with this Ability eats a Berry during battle, it will not only reap the benefit from the Berry, but the Pokémon will also be able to regain HP. Dedenne can learn the new Electric-type move Nuzzle, which looks cute as the user nuzzles up to a target with its cheeks fully charged, but it’s quite dangerous! Nuzzle will do damage while paralyzing the opponent.

Bunnelby is a new Normal-type Pokémon that creates its den by digging in the ground with its large, shovel-shaped ears. These powerful ears are strong enough to chop right through thick tree roots, making them a force to be reckoned with in battle. Bunnelby can learn the Ground-type move Dig. On the first turn, the user burrows underground, and on the second turn, it attacks! In Double

 

Battles, a Pokémon can use Dig to avoid its ally’s attack and then dish out damage on the next turn.

It is now known that Skiddo evolves into the already announced Gogoat. A Grass-type Pokémon, Skiddo has a gentle nature and is said to be the first Pokémon to live alongside humans. Because of this relationship, Skiddo doesn’t mind carrying people or supplies on its back, and it has become able to read the feelings of its riders through their grip on its horns. Skiddo can learn the Grass-type move Leaf Blade, where the user wields a sharp leaf to slice like a sword.

 

Introducing Gym Leader Korrina

Korrina is the Gym Leader in Shalour City, a seaside town known for its amazing views. It’s also home to the Tower of Mastery, which seems to have a connection to Mega Evolution. Gym Leader Korrina seeks to draw out her Pokémon’s strength to reach still greater heights, and it’s said that she may hold the key to Mega Evolution! In addition to being a Gym Leader, Korrina is a fantastic roller skater.

Mega Blazekin? Fail. Needs to be Blazarkinyte, or something. Mega Lucario? Luchopio. Mega Absol? Absoloom.

 

 

On another note,

 

 

have you guys thought about something...

 

 

There's going to be a 666th Pokemon...

 

I personally think it may be just a normal Pokemon with no significance, but knowing Japan, they're going to have an Imp at the least.

Best thing ever: You can ride Skiddo on the fields and he defies ledges. 

So...Like Victini, you have a limited time to get Blazega? (MegaBlazekin) Fair. Fair.

 

 

Reminds me of my friend's hopeless attempts to get my one and only Victini (The legit one) He tried shinies and legendaries. Nothing. I wanted my Victini.

NO NOT LIMITED TIME 

 

The Mega evolution method will be available after you beat that girl Gym Leader

 

THERE IS NO LIMITED TIME!!! YOU JUST GET A SPECIAL TORCHIC WITH A CERTAIN ABILITY.....NOTHING MORE

 

I already had my Blaziken so I can easily transfer it and evolve it without the new torchic

 

try to understand before posting

And how do you know this stone is limited ????

 

That also applies to you,don't post anything you know little about.

 

Stones in every Pokemon game were all over the place so why a starter like Torchic would become an event Pokemon???

 

I can easily evolve my transfered Blaziken without gettting that new Torchic

 

GOD DAMN IT I LOVE ASSUMPTIONS ^_^

Like the Youtube thing, I misunderstood something. And now I feel like a dumb ass who plays call of duty...

Yeah, the Torchick is nothing special, but on the other-hand... The Stone is, only possible to be obtained by the event, in the case of Megakin(As i will refer to him) But I'm betting why is because they don't want the game to be TOO easy for you. Seriously, Blazekin with Speedboost is broken, but Megavolved Blazekin with improved stats is something to behold in a new word of the word "Broken". Competitive play is going to be destroyed by mirror-teams. With the others, Mewtwo was powerful, but it's not broken, as well as the others, powerful, but not broken, which is likely why their stones will be available through the story.

So...the stone is an event thing? Because that's what I was talking about above... Sorry, I suck at paying attention apparently.

Actually you are wrong. It clearly states that the stone is not available during normal gameplay. On top of that, GameFreak does not do a repeat of the same event concerning the same subject already done in the same generation. So yes, this is a limited time offer to get the Mega Stone for Blaziken.

 

Plus she has the right to post if she wants to, we can only correct her not bash her.  

 

Following yesterdays reveal of the new Pokémon, and the Mega Evolutions, some clear images have surfaced which showcase some of these Pokémon in battle. It also provides a few further bits of information. First, Pokémon can only Mega Evolve when they are holding a Mega Stone. Mega Stones are a type of item like Evolutionary Stones and include specific items such as the Blazikenite that the event Torchic holds. The Blazikenite is not found within normal gameplay. It also confirms that Mega Evolutions are temporary, being only in battle.

To my understanding, the event is a Torchic holding it's Megavolution Stone, it being the only way to obtain one as of current time since it will not be normal gameplay available.

As for the stone, the special Torchic is gonna be available for everyone through an event right???

So...was I technically right? Because I kinda said to get Torchic, it's an event. But I DID end up saying a fully evolved ALL READY Mega-evolutioned Torchic.

And the entire post sounded like you were yelling at the top of your lungs for something thats not even a big deal.

As long as it adds to the fun of the gameplay,then I'm absolutely fine with it regardless of it's similarity to Digimon

 

Man,people demand change and additions and when they got it they don't want it anymore???

 

Also,why it's similarity to Digimon is a bad thing???Is this forum filled with Digimon haters or something???

 

I was both a Pokemon and a Digimon fan and I loved the first Digimon Adventure anime sooo much(The sequel has a bullshit ending) and my favorite is still Digimon Tamers(If I'm recalling the names correctly) out of all entries in the Digimon franchise.

 

The Mega Evolution looks great in my opinion and I'm looking forward to try them in battle.

 

At least you guys should see how the Mega Evolution works before prejudging it

 

 

I'm not saying I hate it, I'm just saying that it was unexpected, and tbh, it's something that a very similiar franchise already did before.

 

Nope, this forum's filled with Digimon fans, it's just a bit weird to see something in Pokémon that Digimon did before.

What's Pok+emon?

Is it a new crossover game?

Technically, any Torchic, so long as it evolves to the proper stage, can use the stone, but yes, in general, you are correct.

It's just a Typo, we know what he is saying.

Alright,my fault and I'm sorry for that

 

I was afraid everyone would over glorify this and we would go over the same drama we gone to before all over again

It's alright, just don't bash anyone and do not over react. 

Anyway,Blaziken's attack stats were already too high even before it's mega evolution so that might be a reason why his stone is an event distribution??

 

If so,will Mega Blaziken be banned from Tournaments,since now it's stats is on par with even legendaries

 

Man I guess Blaziken can be considered a Legendary at this point

Edited August 9, 201312 yr by Metal Snake

Oh another thing

 

Since this special Torchic will be offered through an event,I'm afraid that most people who'll get the game early will avoid Fenniken since they'll get their speciall Torchic instead that can become the much more badass Blaziken,who can easily obliterate Fenniken's FirePsychic family just by giving it Crunch thanks to Blaziken's OP attack stats

I don't think giving a fighting chicken Crunch would make any sense. I think it'll rely on punching/kicking moves rather than its fangs. Its what Blaziken does.

I'm not going to do that. I'm going to try to get both. Wynaut get both? Is there a problem with getting both of them? I think NOT...

I don't think giving a fighting chicken Crunch would make any sense. I think it'll rely on punching/kicking moves rather than its fangs. Its what Blaziken does. 

You still can give it U-Turn which can be as effective especially if you set up Sword Dance and give Blaziken the Focus Sash in case a Powerful psychic type move is coming

I'm not going to do that. I'm going to try to get both. Wynaut get both? Is there a problem with getting both of them? I think NOT...

I'll try to get both,but I initially wanted to get either Froakie or Chespin since I unfortunately got Emboar in my BlackWhite 2 which became useless after a while but I might get Fenniken since I already have a Blaziken
