    General Gaming Discussions

    This is Nintendo's fault. They haven't learned from the 3DS AT ALL. They need to build up a userbase with first party titles, and they haven't done that at all. Additionally, they've failed to differentiate it from the Wii, despite having the exact same problem with the 3DS.

    New Pokémon X & Y Trailer + Tons Of Information

    I'm so impressed with this latest batch of info. Diagonal movement and customisation have been long awaited features of many, and the region looks superb, particularly due to the top-left section that is based on the UK! I can't wait to explore Pokéstonehenge :D

    Sylveon's Type: The Plot Thickens!

    The concept of 'fairy' is quite different to psychic. Psychic represents the power of the mind and the supernatural. Fairy represents purity, energy and magic. A new type isn't necessarily about balancing, it's about change and new strategies, just as new abilities, moves and Pokémon are. Also...

    #694 - Helioptile

    Re: #??? - Elikiteru I'm glad that we're getting more part-normal types with unique combinations. I must say, this one looks strikingly similar to Mawile, although it's obviously not related.

    #674 - Pancham

    Re: #??? - Yanchamu I'm surprised this isn't Fighting/Dark. Perhaps its evolution will be? Either way, nice to see an early-game fighting type. It was nice have so many of those in B/W.

    CoroCoro Leaks New Pokémon!

    Initial thoughts: New Pokémon: -Gogoat looks majestic. -Yancham is pretty cool, and it could have an awesome evolution. -Yayakoma looks all right, although I would have preferred a European robin. Still, I'm sure it will have some cool evos. -Elikiteru is a bit strange, but its typing is...

    Chronological Order

    Well we know that Red (and presumably Blue) are 16+ in the PWT because he was 11 in FRLG, and B2W2 take place at least 5 years after. However, as you said the PWT can't really be used to judge the aging of characters. Bugsy is still a little boy and hasn't changed at all, for instance, which I...

    Chronological Order

    Yeah, Gen V seems to take place a significant amount of time after Gens II and IV. In that time, the Rocket grunt who stole the machine part has (presumably married and) had a child, who uses the schoolkid sprite, so is probably between 5 and 8. However, I don't think Game Freak really had a...

    General Gaming Discussions

    I'm delighted at this. Nintendo Direct always felt much more personal, and with all the hype around E3 it's nearly always disappointing. Additionally, it's a bit weird to have one conference for journalists, investors and fans, so separating them is a great idea, especially as Nintendo would...

    Weekly Anime Discussion - You bet your ass there's spoilers

    Re: Weekly Anime Discussion - You bet your ass there's spoil Be that as it may, I can't help but feel that the writers were trying to recreate the Ash-Misty-Brock dynamic, but failing as Cilan is too different a character to Brock. Aside from his numerous romances, Brock is level-headed...

    Weekly Anime Discussion - You bet your ass there's spoilers

    Re: Weekly Anime Discussion - You bet your ass there's spoil I just watched the dub of Ash's battle with Cameron. I don't think it was that bad a battle, and I don't mind Ash losing to Cameron. What I do mind, however, is that Ash doesn't win a single full battle in the whole tournament. It...

    New Trailer For 16th Movie Shows Off Mewtwo's New Form

    I'm really beginning to think that Sylveon is a new type introduced to highlight this new 'strengthening bonds' game mechanic. I guess Love would lend itself most to that, although personally I would prefer something else.

    Things released in your lifetime you enjoyed post popularity

    I'm always interested in this. There have been so many good films, television shows, books, music and video games released over my lifetime, and many of these have often passed me by, despite their popularity. It could have been that I simply wasn't interested, or that I wanted to go against the...

    New Mewtwo Relative Announced

    They brought back Charizard, and I doubt that evolutionary line will be getting any relatives in Gen VI. Does anyone know if that Mewtwo is the same one from the first Pokémon movie and Mewtwo returns? It's been implied, but I don't think I've seen any official confirmation yet.

    Mega Mewtwo Y

    Re: #??? - [Unnamed Mewtwo Relation] This would probably mean that this Pokémon would be weaker and faster than Mewtwo itself, sort of like Toon Link to Link in SSBB. Incidentally, if this Pokémon turned out to be a legendary Psychic-type (which seems pretty likely at this stage), then 14 of...

    #700 - Sylveon

    Eeveelutions have always been used to demonstrate new game mechanics, such as time-based happiness evolutions for Espeon and Umbreon and location-based evolutions for Leafeon and Glaceon. I expect Sylveon will use the new mechanic that is often referred to alongside 'strengthening bonds' and...

    New Mewtwo Relative Announced

    Yeah, it's getting a bit ridiculous. We've waited two months to see a new Pokémon about whom we know nothing, not even its name. We're only six months away from release now. Perhaps we'll get some more information in CoroCoro?

    Do you think there should/will be new types? If so, what?

    A lot of fans have been suspicious that there may be a new type after Sylveon, part of an evolutionary line famous for its distinguishable types, has had no type reveal yet. Do you think there will be new types? Do you want there to be new types? What would they be? Here's my opinion...

    Ninfia's English Name Revealed: Sylveon

    Exactly - Pokémon games are balanced as they are now. However, it's possible that X & Y will add features/mechanics that result in the need to balance out the battle system with a new type. That said, I'm still very dubious as to whether this eeveelution really is a new type.
