Pokemon X and Y’s world wide release is just a few months away but the rumor mill never stops churning does it? This new rumor origins from a tweet distributed on various forums suggests that we’ll be able to catch 650 Pokemon in Pokemon X and Y which is a number never before seen in a previous game.

Currently there are 649 Pokemon in the Pokemon Black and White 2 dex, after Pokemon X and Y’s additions the number is supposed to be around 730. So being able to catch 650 out of those 730 Pokemon in one game is huge. Previously to complete the Pokedex players would have to trade over Pokemon from their previous generation games i.e Pokemon Diamond to Pokemon White and so on.

The tweet suggests that the claim is made by Pokemon X and Y director Junichi Masuda, the tweet roughly translates to: “It seems that Masuda-san has said ’650 Pokemon live in Kalos,’ but it remains to be seen how true this is.” (Thanks Kyrael)


Take this with a grain of salt though folks as it does sound too good to be true, but on the other hand Game Freak are changing up so many things so why not this too? Guess only time will tell. What do you think? Let us know in the comments below.

Pokemon X and Y hits stores exclusively for the Nintendo 3DS world wide on October 12th along with the recently announced Nintendo 2DS.

I actually hope this is not true.

If anything the one's missing would be mostly legendary + starter pokemon from previous games.

If no old legendaries show up that's 48 pokemon missing.

Then there is starter pokemon, 15 starter + evoultions = another 45 pokemon missing.

it could be a good thing though, one reason could mean the region is that big or just mean you wont encounter the same pokemon everytime you hit a patch of grass!

..why?

OMG I hope it's true

Well I imagine the max would be

730 - (prior legendaries) - (prior starter pokemon)

So what gen is this 6th? So - 18*3 = 54 starter.

Then what like 50 legendary pokemon.

So I would think the max they would allow collectable would be 730-104 = 626.

MAX = 626    

& 626 < 650

So unless they are allowing you to catch pokemon like Charmander or other starters or bringing a shit ton of old Legendaries in the game, the number itself is easily debunked by simple math.

I am going to put so many hours into this game....

Between this and GTAV, I don't know which one is going to take up more of my life.

I wish you could catch all 730 in one game or between the two...I always found it a pain in order to get all pokemon you had to trade with multiple version...so the more the better
