Pokemon X and Y

[kangle4]

New game rumours have started already, can't see it being true.

A rumour has begun circulating the internet regarding the next instalment in the Pokemon franchise. The next iterations of Pokemon games are supposedly called Pokemon Plus and Pokemon Minus and are apparently in development for a future Nintendo platform. To be fair the rumour sounds rather far-fetched, but Dual Pixels claim their source has proved correct in the past. You can read all the details about the mysterious project, below.


GameFreak were one of the first development studios inside Nintendo to receive Alpha-Prototype hardware, now have been upgraded to the Beta-Prototype hardware above.

Have a few areas marked out, TONS of concept art traveling between Pokemon Company and Nintendo Co Ltd.

GameFreak plans to completely overhaul the basic systems of battle, simplifying the process.
The development team is “going to put a lot of ideas they have wanted to do for years in this game”.

Two versions already have code names, possibly final: Pokemon Plus and Pokemon Minus.

Theme is “Old Tradition VS New Exploration”

New region, no name yet, is based on South East Asia with one large peninsula and many smaller islands.

Three new starters with no names: Water evolves into Water/Steel and is a squat, teardrop shaped humanoid that has a jar filled with on its head as it evolves it grows taller and the jar bigger until it needs another set of arms to hold it on it’s head. Fire evolves into Fire/Fairy and is a tiny cute goat with fire blowing out of its horns, it’s horns and look evolves more menacing until it has curly ram like horns and a motorcycle hot-rod-like look. Grass evolves into a Grass/Electric and starts with a leap for a face with a nubby root as a body and evolves until it grows into an electric producing palm tree with each flower petal having a different face.

The main legendary for Pokemon Plus is a Shi Foo Lion-looking Psychic/Ground-type that has multiple faces, the Pokemon Minus legendary is a Ghost/Fairy type that has two dashes for eyes and is a hurricane-like appendages with many arms and hands.

More traditional Pokemon-like gameplay will be on the Handheld controller while an all new gameplay aspect will be on the Terminal unit.

The “Pokken Fighers” render that was teased was running on Alpha kits, Beta kits now have advance cell shading. Going for very detailed “living anime” look.

The new “Team” villains are described as a bunch of “Sohei Zelots”-types who have discovered the player’s best friend as a reincarnation of a special type of person who only is alive every 100 years. They believe the old system where people were given a Pokemon egg and they stick to that Pokemon until they die and who’s function in society dictate what role that person is. They are against the “modern” trend of Pokemon Trainers and capturing multiple Pokemon and are making a holy pilgrimage to evoke the old Legendaries to turn everything back to normal. They keep the player away from their friend, saying the special one (who can do amazing things like mega evolve Pokemon without the use of a mega ring) only love is that of Pokemon and not people. It is planned to be reveal later that for the special one to fulfill their role in society they must be mortally sacrificed to awaken the legendaries.

Routes connection the island together are water bridges but clumps of island are connected together by underwater tunnels.

There is a “Stone Slowking” statue that is a parody of the Reclining Buddha at Wat Pho, Thailand.

Many Pokemon from Hoenn and Sinnoh will make a return.

Variety of Pokemon Gyms, one is a mail system that only uses flying types and focuses on sky battles. One only uses baby Pokemon, one is implied to be a real vampire and uses Ghost and Dark Pokemon. There is also a military like leader who uses Fire and Steel Pokemon.

The island gameplay with Gym Leaders and the Elite Four island can be played entirely on the Handheld and can be blown up on the Terminal for home play.

New Pokemon Type similar to Shinies, no details yet on how they work but I’ve been told they “change the game significantly”.

The “Mainland” is an MMO-like environment that is exclusive to the Terminal and is shared by both versions.

Players all over the world online can chat, trade, intermingle and experience new-updated story lines on the mainland.

Pokemon Band is a new mechanic introduced to get people involved who do not battle, a co-operative experience where Pokemon dance and make music together to achieve the highest group score.

Pokemon Bank are actual locations on the Mainland and Handheld areas where people can import past Pokemon, mainly from Pokemon X and Pokemon Y into the new game.

Or when they evolve they have english names.

The problem with that is the JPN or ITA tag is still there.

But yeah, I'm the same, I'm collecting all the pokemon but has to be without the tags.

Some sounds plausible, but stuff like a baby Pokemon only gym, and a gym using both fire and steel makes it seem pretty fake to me.

 

[Igloo]

Still want those starters, Dirty Bird?

[TheFreshBanana]

Um... I think I just randomly hatched a shiny Seviper

 

[FlowersByIrene]

Good job man

 

[TheFreshBanana]

[The Big Sauce]

Shinies mean shit all now.

 

[TheFreshBanana]

Shinies mean shit all now.

Well I haven't chained or anything, I think it's just a lucky night for me

270 hours, 3 shinies. No chaining.

It wasn't just you, they seem to be a lot more frequent even without chaining.

I think Nintendo has made something really rare more attainable for the masses.

Well I've put a heap of time into these games just like I have with the past ones and I've still never seen a shiny.

Damn, that sucks!

How many hours do you have now?

 

[kangle4]

Damn, that sucks!

How many hours do you have now?

Not sure exactly but well over a hundred, than add hundreds more from the past games as well.

I know some people say they're easy to find but I would be ecstatic to see one.

 

[Gentlemen]

Shinies are still kinda tough.

I mean, apart from fishing shinies, I don't think any of the shiny rates were changed?

happy to be proven wrong.

There was a statement on Serebii stating that the shiny rate is about half, 1 in 4096 compared to 1 in 8192. I'm not sure it's confirmed in any way.

I'm not sure, the reason so many shinies were showing up before is that there were so many people playing the game at once.

I won't be convinced until someone breaks down what's in the cartridge.

 

[Some Idiot]

What is this terminal they are talking about?

The gen 5 GTS I think? 'Global Terminal'. Couldn't find the context you were referring to.

Oops. Didn't realise how many posts were after the one I was referring to, and didn't want to quote it cause it's long. I'm referring to the rumors Kangle posted on the previous page
