Revealed Gen VI Pokemon Discussion/Speculation Thread

[Konoko Hasano]

Hilarious rumor time again:

[I]-Snip-

I literally can get behind this rumor, if only because it describes the battle screen exactly how I would expect it to be. Not to mention if movie 16 were indeed to be like this, I can dig a super hero Pokemon to go against the evil mechas. Only thing is, this is too logical to be real, so its more then likely fake.

While it's always fun to get all these sorts of rumors around this time, it's also really annoying when some rumors sound like something you'd really want to see. An example being this one.

Humanoid Pokemon
Superhero/Sentai themed
Kickass scarf that can turn into wings

;_; Darn rumor makers creating some awesome ideas.

[Helioptile]

Rock-Ice type, the only doubly super effecttive combination vs. Steel.

And maybe a three-stage fire/steel based on engines and motors.

[Nyx]

I would like a Pokemon based on the frilled shark.

I don't know, I think I'd look cool.

[Rozenskye]

Jynx needs an evolution. ELeectabuzz and Magmar used to be her bros before she got left in the dust...

Constellation Pokémon would be cool as well.

If ever they did make an evo of her i wonder what she would look like. would they make her better or would they follow how she looks as Jynx.

[Super Charizard]

I want to see a proper T-rex pokémon, I also think a psychic dolphin would be cool.

I also want to see some hybrid pokémon, and before you say anything I don't mean any pokémon being able to make a hybrid, I mean certain combinations that reflect real life hybrids to an extent making them, like breeding a lion pokémon and a tiger pokémon to get a liger pokémon.

Also maybe a pokémon based on a waterbear/tardigrade: Tardigrade - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

We have one of those. Not that we can't get another, but I'm just sayin'.

I'd love to see a proper panda, especially if it were a two-stager similar to Beartic and Ursaring's lines. Spinda is cute and all, but the ears make it look more like a bunny.

I'd love a 'mon based on the painted dog, especially if they have some fun with the markings. I'd also love a line based off of a caracal or serval.

I also really want a non-starter fire-fighting. I know everyone's getting tired of that combo, but I'd like to see what GF'd do with a one- or two-stage fire-fighting line. I feel like there's a lot of creative things they could still do with that typing.

[Nyx]

We have one of those. Not that we can't get another, but I'm just sayin'.

Reuniclus is definitely not based on tardigrades. Do you even know what they are? Reuniclus is based on cells/unicellular organisms.

[Finicky Fennekin]

Reuniclus is definitely not based on tardigrades. Do you even know what they are? Reuniclus is based on cells/unicellular organisms.

I'd always interpreted it's appearance and abilities as pointing toward it being (at least partially) based on a Tardigrade.

Like I said, though, they could always introduce another water bear 'mon. It's not like we're only ever allowed one 'mon for each critter. ヽ（´ー｀）ノ If that were the case, I'll never get my proper panda, 'cause we already have Spinda.

[Konoko Hasano]

Lotad kind of has some influence in regards to a tardigrade. At least it looks like it could have had some influence from one going on, considering the multiple legs and such. A Duck-Lillypad-Tardigrade cross of some kind.

But yes, there's nothing wrong with getting more than one of certain species.

[Super Charizard]

Well I'm pretty sure Reuniclus is not a Waterbear. but yes there is nothing wrong with having more then one pokémon based on the same thing.

And I want to see a proper panda too, spinda just doesn't really seem like one.

And how about a gremlin pokémon? I know we have rotom, but rotom doesn't really feel like a gremlin to me.

Hilarious rumor time again:

This information was sent to me from a correspondent in Japan, who has obtained early information on what the next issue of CoroCoro will obtain, which focuses on Movie 16. This is a transcript of the information he provided me with.

First off, CoroCoro this issue mainly focuses on the star of Movie 16 alongside Genesect, the Superman Pokemon "Duskaman". Duskaman is the romanized name that appears in CoroCoro (and will probably be similar to the English name like previous stars), and its raw Japanese name is Dasukaman (ダスカマン). Here is the information CoroCoro provides:

Species: "Superman" (Choujin ちょうじん) Pokemon.
Type: Dark/Fighting
Height: 1.9m
Weight: 78.4kg

My correspondent describes it looking very humanoid, with its main stream-lined body being mostly black apart from its white face, white hands, and white feet, and the front of its chest which has a red circle on its chest and another red crescent below it. It has horns on its head which fold back in a "V" shape, and it has a red Mohawk that comes from the back of its head and crosses between the horns and sticks out in the front. It has rather dull looking eyes, semi-circles with little black pupils in them. Finally, it has two red streamers coming from its back that resembles a scarf, but another picture of Duskaman shows that they can transform into wings.

There is the official Sugimori Art included, showing it striking a "Henshin"-style pose, and pictures of it drawn in anime form, including one showing how its scarf transforms into wings. There is also artwork showing it in winged-form flying away from the Genesect Army, as well as Ash and Iris riding Charizard and Dragonite and battling alongside him. CoroCoro talks about how Duskaman is the "night savior of the city", and appears in a flash of crimson red to battle against the leader of the Genesect. There seems to be a connection between the two Pokemon as they're both described as being crimson red. The new title is roughly "The Extreme Speed Genesect X Superman Duskaman (神速のゲノセクトX超人ダスカマン). The X is actually shining blue, resembling the Pokemon X logo, interestingly enough, while Genesect and Duskaman's names are colored red.

Next issue promises more information on the film, and hints at revealing another Pokemon (unknown if it's in the Movie, the Mini-Movie, or X/Y).

In terms of X/Y information, this issue is very sparse apart from showing the official artwork of the male and female protagonists, and some more screen-shots of them walking around the Paris-styled town, including visiting what appears to be a museum, standing atop the Eiffel Tower-like structure showing a nice view of the of the region, and walking alongside a beach. There's also a look at the new battle screen, which shows that the HP Bars now appear on the bottom screen with little Boxsprites of the Pokemon next to them, and there's two new buttons available as well on the menu which is "Call" and "P-Link", although it doesn't explain what these functions are for yet. There are a few battle pictures of the Starters battling, and also shows that Spoink and Paras are in.

I literally can get behind this rumor, if only because it describes the battle screen exactly how I would expect it to be. Not to mention if movie 16 were indeed to be like this, I can dig a super hero Pokemon to go against the evil mechas. Only thing is, this is too logical to be real, so its more then likely fake.

I hope this isn't true, especially since theres already a major Superman movie due for release around the same time as Movie 16 lol Honestly, the title "night savior of the city" as well as the typing sounds far more like Batman than Superman. :p (I guess the person who made this rumor used DNA splicers on Batman/Supes)

The part about Coro Coro, is oddly very realistic in its description and expectations... thats honestly all that I'm expecting from the next issue. Call & P-Link also sound interesting, and are realistic feature names. Still don't believe it though, we've had rumors that sounded legit before.

[Tendou Soujirou]

It's not actually referencing the character (which is still called Superman in Japan), Choujin is a generic term that roughly means "Superman", as in a super-man. I know Kinnikuman uses it, for instance.

One thing I've seen pointed out is that there's that statue in the X/Y Trailer with Golurk and Palpitoad, there's a humanoid figure as well on it that looks like it has a heroic pose (hands on its hips it looks like). If this rumor is true, was the X/Y Trailer hinting at it? Even if this rumor is fake, now I wonder about that statue.

[Isamu Akai]

Looking at that statue, the human figure seems a little too human-like if you ask me to be a Pokemon. It's an interesting thought, and it's certainly piqued my curiosity in the statue, but I don't see it as anything different from a monument of a trainer and his Pokemon. Who knows, maybe they're characters important to the story or nearby settlement. But I don't believe it to be a Pokemon.

And... the rumor sounds kind of ridiculous... I too hope it's also false.

[Snubbull Lover 777]

Here's something to possibly lookout for in a couple weeks or so on Pokémon Smash. They've been showing this segment on the Eeveelutions were the guy comes out from behind a door in an Eeveelution Costume so far these are the costumes he's come out in and the dates...

January 13th
Eevee and Jolteon

January 20th
Flareon and Glaceon

January 27th
Umbreon and Leafeon

So possibly on February 3rd Vaporeon and Espeon and then the following week on February 10th 2 New Eeveelution Reveals since they seem to show 2 Eeveelutions per episode. Also you guys can go on Youtube and look up the the live stream that was shown on the 26th and in the preview to the next episode it shows that Junichi Masuda will be on the February 3rd episode so you never know maybe he'll show the New Eeveelution Silhouettes and then fully reveal them on the 10th.

I don't know but what do you guys think about this?

Edit- Turns out the scene of Junichi Masuda that was shown on the commercial was from a previous episode that aired on the 6th. Thanks sunyshore for pointing this out.
