A lot of the stuff which came out yesterday doesn't make a lot of sense. What I do know, however, is that the gameplay trailer looks totally badass. I wonder if we'll be getting a demo? Unlikely, but you never know.

Demos are great for games that need more exposure.

Pokémon is not one of those games.

But exposing people to the overhauled artstyle and generating yet further hype without alienating people could be a master stroke, particularly if it's up against the PS4/Nextbox releases (and now GT6). 

Pokemon will win, obviously.

I dunno, the demo will only be available to people who own a 3DS. Surely it wouldn't hurt sales, and could only encourage more, but how many more? I'd love a demo, it could only help. I just doubt it'll happen. I think the only first-party retail game that's gotten a demo so far is Fire Emblem.

I think that might be true...which is a shame. I know I'd likely have got a few more games were the demos there (I'd never have got Rhythm Thief, for example).

Especially since the demos were made anyway. :/ If I can play a Luigi's Mansion 2 demo in a GameStop, why can't I download it on my own 3DS?

Isn't it obvious? Nintendo hates us.

Soooo anyone got a time machine, October is to far away

Bump! These are the guys who leaked the recent stuff early. They seem to be in the know.

http://pokebeach.com/2013/05/last-of-the-pokemon-x-y-insider-information

"This is the last Pokemon X and Y "insider" information we have to post. Note that like all of the other information we have posted, please take it with a grain of salt (what does that expression even mean?). We have no way of knowing how much of it is real until Pokemon confirms or denies each individual item. So again, please take all of the information here as unconfirmed and rumor until we hear something official."

"Later today Pokemon Smash will air. While most expect it will just be a rehash of what CoroCoro had, you never know if they might reveal something more since Junichi Masuda will be on the show. We'll see soon, so be sure to check back!"

Pancham evolves into Pangoro in the early level 30s. In order to evolve Pancham into Pangoro, you need to have one other Dark-type Pokemon in your party. Pangoro's type is Fighting/Dark.

A Pokemon named Inkay evolves into Malimar. To evolve it, you have to hold your 3DS upside-down when it levels up (the 3DS has an accelerometer and gyroscope, so it can detect that). Malimar's type is Dark/Psychic.

A Psychic-type Pokemon named Espurr (ESP + purr) evolves into Meowstick (Meow + mystic?). (Sounds like Psychic-type cats. Meowstick's name sounds too similar to Meowth to me though.)

Like in B/W you have two rivals - one is friendly and the other is competitive. Your rival that is more friendly gives you his/her fully evolved starter Pokemon after you beat the game.

Another professor named Sycamore gives you either Bulbasaur, Charmander, or Squirtle.

Even though it shows the player riding on a Gogoat in the new trailer, players can't ride on their own Pokemon. What was shown is just an alternate way of getting around Lumiose City and it only works with Gogoat.

HMs still exist but there's a lot less of them.

Players will be able to see their Pokemon's EVs (probably through the same in-game facility mentioned in the other post).

A new move, Belch, is a Poison-type attack that has a base power of 120. The user must consume a held Berry to perform it.

Draining Kiss is a Fairy-type attack that heals the user for the same amount of damage performed. It has a base power of 60.

If the previously revealed forme of Mewtwo can be said to look roughly similar to Mewtwo's original design, the second supposed form of Mewtwo can be said to look roughly/vaguely similar to Mew's design.

In case you missed our correction the other day, the Starters' final evolutions are Fire/Psychic, Grass/Dark, and Water/Fighting.

Thanks for that, Carl.

The rumors sound pretty solid. What do you think of 'em?

How many hours will we be able to put into this game?

I'm suspecting the same as the others. Anywhere from 50(ish) to 100+ hours.

Im really happy about there being less HMs, if its true.
