I don't think they'll take that feature out, it would basically be giving a middle finger to the fans who have put a decade of training into they're Pokemon.

They'll probably just use the same thing they've been using. If they were going to introduce some kind of new concept to transfer Pokemon, they would've likely announced it.

I suspect X & Y transfer will require something similar to the "Time Machine" in the original Gold & Silver games; allows you to trade as long as you don't put in anything that doesn't exist in the previous games.

Somebody send this idea to Game freak!

I always feel like the odd man out for not liking Girafarig's ass head.

Really? Because I don't know anybody who likes it.

Including myself. Never did.

Never liked girafarig either.

MegaGirafarig! I was never a huge fan of the original, but that looks pretty sweet.

Was never a fan of Girafarig myself either.

On the plus side it's made me realize that there's probably crap loads of X and Y fanart like that on the internets now. Always enjoy seeing fakemon/fan ideas. To Deviantart!

I didn't mind Girafarig's tail personally....what I did mind was having the creepy thing stare at you when you use it in battle :lol

SO does anyone else still watch the anime?

I would if i could get out of bed before 11am. I'm just buying the DVD releases.

I kind of stopped. While it's nice that they finally stopped the Team Rocket blasting off gag after 15 years, the rest of the show seemed to have regressed. Pokemon was never a complicated show, but it's just insufferable how much it talks down to everyone.

And I hate Oshawott's English VA.

They did have a sort of cool plot going on but after the Meloetta arc it pretty much went back to standard Pokemon fare.

They did? Wow that's something.

I watched it seriously till Hoenn, then sort of watched Sinnoh, and didn't watch much if anything of Unova.
Since they reset all of Ash's character development and his team each season, it's basically watching the same show over and over.

Honestly, I actually enjoy seeing Ash's team be reset each region, especially when he doesn't get all 3 starters.
His character growth being hit by the reset button is grating, though.

Yeah the first part isn't that bad, and from what I understand he keeps rotating his team in Unova, which sounds like a nice change.
It's just that after so many adventures Ash should be, you know smart, and Pikachu overpowered.

I like how in Unova when he caught a seventh Pokemon it didn't teleport like in the old anime. I was seriously convinced this show was a reboot until Dawn showed up.

And the rivalry between Piplup and Oshawott was entertaining.

I really don't like saying it, but the Kanto-Johto seasons were best. Yeah, I know, Genwuning, but still.

Also, does anyone else think Ash's early voice sounded like Veronica Taylor stuffed cotton balls in her mouth and kept her lips in a vague "O" shape during early recording sessions?

I like the voice in those really early episodes, not sure why that is.

If anyone decides to start buying into Pokemon Rumble U NFC figures, I will be open to trades. The only double I have right now is Shaymin.

So guys...does anyone know if the shiny dialga distribution works on black and white 1?

Yea they do they where advertise with both games

Thank you for reminding me I need to go and do that this week.

I got two shiny Dialga's. :D

From both Diamond and the giveaway, from 2 different stores doing the giveaway or from GTS trades?

Speaking of GTS,
Dear GameStop: do a Giveaway where we can get Shiny Xerneas and Yveltal at Lvl. 1 each. Just to screw with the GTS.

There isn't a store in walking distance for me to get them.
Granted, I don't care about shiny legendaries, but still sucks.

You can get as many as you have games at a single store.... It's how I also have 2.

I'm just excited for the Palkia to start. So I can finally have a Palkia.

That said, I still wish they'd do more Darkrai and Shaymin events (or Manaphy but when I bring that up people just point to being able to get it in a game, but hey, I never had or wanted that one, so I still don't have one). You know, events for actual event Pokémon. That'd be nice.

I'm surprised some people actually missed all those Darkrai events they've held. There's been like 5 or 6 of them if i remember right.

Did a quick check of the Serebii event database...

The first two in NA were in-store events in 2008... held in Gamestop so actually I'm not sure why I missed those; probably didn't know about them.

The third was Wi-Fi. That I also probably missed because I didn't know about it.

The fourth was Wi-Fi again, but only for Platinum, which I didn't have.

And the latest was last year, which yes, I did finally get.

Shaymin time:

Twice in NA in 2009. The first was in TRU... Even back home, where I was at the time, there is not one close enough to justify. And the Wi-Fi one again required Platinum.

Then one in 2010... that required a Pokemon Ranger game? Yeah that description's not too clear on there.

---

So perhaps Darkrai I just missed from not knowing about. But Shaymin they definitely need to do again.

I got to do a search on this but i think there have only been like 2 or 3.

The ones i remember off the top of my head are a Platinum wifi event and a TRU in store event.

Sweet!

Well, I don't even have a normal Dialga, so.

I like how Shaymin in the anime canon isn't a legendary just a really rare Pokemon.

I'm watching Giratina and the sky warrior for the second time in my life and damn i feel old.

Mega Blastoise is mine.

SO far this Pokemon Direct reveal seems like a big steaming load of nothing.

What about the X-Y Pokedex? Or the new Starter evolutions? Or Gym Leaders? or new battle mechanics? Or detailing exactly how Fairy fits into the type matchups?


Nope. Just more Megas. "Yay."

I have a LV 100 blastoise so his mega and charizard as well

Honestly, I'm much happier getting little things like this rather than masses of info. With the worldwide release date in consideration it would be nice to play a Pokemon game blind for the first time since gen 1.

Also haven't half the gym leaders been revealed already?

If you guys missed it http://i295.photobucket.com/albums/m...2/image-13.jpg

I want the Red 3DS that goes along with Y.
