Good luck to all the elementary school kids trying to pronounce these on the playground.

I remember watching my young cousin who had just learnt about silent "C"'s try to say Arceus. That was really fun.

Now, these aren't real, the artist freely admits this, it is purely a bit of speculatory art. But seriously, I really want this to be real.



Also, 2ch has already attempted a fake Pokémon reveal.

Supposed to be a side evolution of Pikachu, along with Raichu.

Woaaaaah, Froakie's final form is looking pretty awesome. I only hope his actual evolution will be up to par, a water/fighting type would be a nice change of pace.

Poliwrath
Keldeo

Nothing new.

If I had to guess, by the final evolution it would go like this.

Froakie: Water/Fighting
Fennekin: Pure Fire
Chespin: Grass/Ground

But that's boring.

Chespin: Grass/Fire
Fennekin: Fire/Water
Froakie: Water/Grass

Calling it.

If it was real, then it would be on Serebii or Bulbapedia by now.

Every Pokemon generation, there is always a myriad of fake Pokemon. Nintendo are always very good as not leaking Pokemon. We won't see any new ones until Nintendo wants us to.

Small update but it's been revealed that the VI starters in their basic forms are pure Grass/Fire/Water.

That's really not new. All starters with the exception of Bulbasaur are pure in their typing in their basic form.

True, but now it's been confirmed, hence "Small update".

New Pokémon revealed (Official, not faked, it appeared publically in CoroCoro magazine)



It is called Ninfia, and it is the 8th Eevee evolution. All Japanese Eeveelutions end in "ia", so it's very likely it'll be localised to "Ninfeon" or something similar.

It looks Psychic-type, but we already have Espeon... So what type is it gonna be? I hope it's the new type.

I'd say it looks to be a Normal type IMO, and having a Normal Eeveelution to people wo don't like commiting to a type is fine by me.

I think that would be boring, but it is possible.

I think the bigger news is this:






Mewtwo's back, bitches!

I was going to post this, but I figured this was a X/Y topic, not Pokémon as a whole.

Anyway, I am really looking forward to those, I loved both Mewtwo movies, having a third is awesome.

the remaining types are bug, dragon, fighting, flying, ghost, ground, normal, poison, rock, and steel
I'd wager poison or even flying
also oh my god look at its bow it's so adorable

who cares

"Ninfia or Nympheon is the first of two Eevee evolutions to be introduced in Pokemon X and Y. Much like Umbreon in Gen II was one of the first known Dark type pokemon, Nympheon of Gen VI is one of the first Light type pokemon. Much like the Dark, Pyschic, Fighting and the Grass, Water, Fire trinities, Light pokemon complete a trinity with Dragon and Steel types. As when Magnemite and Magneton retroactively had Steel added to their types, most of the Fairy egg group will have Light added as a secondary type, such as Chansey, Audino, and Clefairy.

Thanks to Tinsares for digging into the official pokemon X and Y website source code for this."
don't take this as credible but it's worth pondering over

Light? That would be cool if it were real, I'll wait until it is officially confirmed to get excited about it though.

Sounds interesting.

I don't see how Light would make a trinity with Dragon and Steel the same way Water/Fire/Grass and Dark/Psychic/Fighting are. Steel is only resistant to Dragon, not super effective, which makes a trinity involving those two types impossible already.

I'd say it's false.

Light sounds pretty cool IMO.

You never know when they could change up how some types work... hell, they changed the phys/spec. attack system in gen 3 (thank God they did), that was a major revamp of how the game's combat worked.

judging by how it spawned much more conversation than your statement did
I would say a lot more people care

Det hit the nail on the head; it's got to be false.

The only reason why we got Dark and Steel to begin with was for balance purposes. Adding another Type at this point is pointless.
And with the Dark Type (or Evil Type as it's known in Japan) focusing on more or less dirty trick fighting, introducing a "Light Type" does not make any lick of sense.

Dark already has its counterpart in the Fighting Type, which is why the type is super-effective against it. Because trained fighters using martial arts are superior to untrained fighters relying on dirty tricks.

As for the trinity concept, there is holes in that logic.
Dragon may be one of the many types Steel resists, but Steel is not super-effective against Dragon either. For a trinity to work, either type must be super effective against the other to be able to fit in Light.

So now that it's pretty much horseshit, discussion about it can end.

Discussion about the trinity can end, but now the idea has been brought up, I can really see Ninfia being a Light Type, it seems the most logical.
