A little more something though unofficial at this time, you can read the full history on this here: Pokebeach

TL;DR – The source seems to be genuine, but still take the information below with a grain of salt. We are classifying it as unconfirmed. Do not soil our beach sand with red liquid if it turns out to be fake. :p

Fairy will be a new type. It is weak to Poison and Steel, immune to Dragon, super effective against Dragon, Dark, and Fighting, and Fire and Psychic-type Pokemon take half damage from it.
Sylveon is Fairy-type. Some older Pokemon will be reclassified to Fairy, such as Mawile (Steel/Fairy).
Mewtwo has two new formes, not just one. Both are activated via items.
The professor’s English name is Patrice.
The Starter final evolutions are Fire/Psychic, Grass/Fighting, and Water/Dark.
The first Gym is Bug, the second is Fairy, and the fourth is Fighting.
A few attacks will be dual-typed.
There will be a new type of battling style that Flying-type Pokemon and Pokemon with Levitate can participate in.
You will be able to see a Pokemon’s EVs at a certain in-game facility. You will be able to boost the EVs through mini-games. It will take about two hours to get one stat to max EVs.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Will be interesting if these things are true. Would really love to be able to check EV's without the use of guess work or cheat devices. Being able to train in a certain EV through mini-games sounds awesome!! Change from the mass feinting spree some of use evil trainers do...wild pokemon can sleep safer at night, right?

Fairy seems an odd choice...was hoping for "light" to counter Dark. But hmmm...seems dragons have picked up a new weakness...could be interesting!

Duel type attacks???? OOOhhhhh I hope that one is true, the battle system needs more twists like that!!! And flying/levitating pokemon having a twist to some aspects has me intrigued.

I like the starter evo type combo's...hope they don't screw up the forms though...

I've been suggesting dual type moves for a while now. I'm glad I'm not the only person who thought of them! :mrgreen: It will most certainly make fights more dynamic. Some moves will certainly gain more popularity with dual typings, and others may be useless, we'll have to see, should it pan out.

Not bad adding a new type, tho the fairy title is a lil odd...would've preferred Light as well, but oh well.
Sylveon is Fairy-type. Some older Pokemon will be reclassified to Fairy, such as Mawile (Steel/Fairy).
Cool, they did the same thing with Steel (Magnimite), but as of now, there's probably no fairy-type pokemon I'd want.
Mewtwo has two new formes, not just one. Both are activated via items.
Kinda like Giratina perhaps? I did like that with him.
The professor’s English name is Patrice.
The Starter final evolutions are Fire/Psychic, Grass/Fighting, and Water/Dark.
Ok, this I can like. Finally a break from fire/fighting! Tho I do chuckle that they went the opposite end almost on the secondary typing, heh. Wonder how that'll work...I'm very interested in that now (and the water/dark as well). Heck, even grass/fighting might be cool, I did always like Breloom. Might be the first game where I really have a tough time deciding which three (it's usually just one or two of the starters I'm interested in).
The first Gym is Bug, the second is Fairy, and the fourth is Fighting.
A few attacks will be dual-typed.
Really interesting...I wonder how it would play out...would a move get maybe double the additional power if the pokemon had the same types as the move? Would a pokemon with weaknesses to both types take a crap ton of damage? This could really throw some things in a loop!
There will be a new type of battling style that Flying-type Pokemon and Pokemon with Levitate can participate in.
Until I hear more, I dunno what to think about this...sky battles?

I guess this is good for peeps. I never did EV stuff cause I couldn't invest that much time into the game (and, to be honest, it sounds really damn boring, especially since I don't pvp anyways).

Well, seems like lots of nice goodies for the new games! Man, I'm excited for them! Which of the two do you guys think you'll get? I'm learning towards Y cause that guy is pretty ballin' looking.

I can't say really at this point. I need it to be official before I can make judgement XD

Well, I know I'll be getting both games :D Since I really dont buy games often, and asides from Wow, I don't really spend a lot of money on stuff, I don't feel bad getting them both.
But X will definitly be the one I will play through first because I really REALLY!!!! Want Xerneas!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! XD

I love Deer (ungulates) and foxes, so far this new games is providing both those, Xerneas, gogoat, Fennekin...

Fletchling looks really cute in the new clip, i am really hoping they go for a big robin evo with it, or something like a Cardinal.

Helioptile looks a bit more interesting in the clip, the ear things seemed to flare out in its attack, and I know that I will name mine "Frank" even though its not green XD ( (>^^)>O cookie for those that get the ref.)

Gogoat's horns remind me of biker bars, I think I'll call mine "Honda" or "Yamaha"

I certainly wouldn't mind a mini game involving EVs... That would make EV training much easier.

Well, playing a mini-game seems more fun then grinding poor wild pokemon.

Dang, all this talk about the pokemon, I need to go finish at least one copy of B2 or W2!!!! Time to stop being a perfectionist and just do it!!!

I CANT... HOMG I CANT... Yuuuuuuuusssssss!

/can't breathe, squealing too hard at a Fire/Psychic FOX STARTERRRRRRRR

/so hopes this does get confirmed.

I kinda, can't stop concentrating on this little bit but I did look at the other things and aside from dual type and a new battle system (seriously, getting tired of them... trio battles just suck. Just, ugh, suck. Rotation battles are a little alright with me but still not very well accepted with me.) with flying/levitating types, it looks pretty awesome so far

So wait, Mewtwo is getting another form or is it just describing old and new forms?

Ahahaha oops I somehow thought Hydregion evolved at 55 not 64 I hate everything.
Oh well still I guess I'll just use a Zweilous. *Sobs*

Also nooo I'm never going to see that eye spot as anything but a duck now. x.x

And awww, they look like little Go-sheep! As for the other possible additions, neat stuff. Fairy type sounds interesting, it would be nice to have something strong against dragon, finally. And please, EV minigames! I'm so lazy that I never really farm EVs but that could change if there was an easier way.

Immune to dragon...huh. Pretty cool.

Grass/dark and water/fighting...should still be interesting. The three starters have 2 super effective cycles against each other now!

I'm not entirely thrilled at the idea of dual-typed moves, or at least.. I'm not sure how they'll manage to really pull it off. It'll be interesting, though! Super happy at the idea of the starters' types being EXACTLY what I was hoping for, though. XD And I'm actually kinda looking forward to the Fairy Type, if it's true! ..Okay, Dark types don't REAALLLLY need another thing that kills them, but all of my yes towards every other part of it! Dragon and Fighting types have RULED the competitive metagame recently, so something that can deal with them better will be amazing! Even if I tend to love Pokemon of those types, I will admit they're VERY OP currently. XD Something that Poison and Steel are super effective against as well will be amazing, since it means those types may get used more often as attackers, which will be AMAZING for Poison types! And giving Fire and Psychic more things to resist is nice too. XD

Seeing a Pokemon's EVs will be THE BEST THING TO EVER HAPPEN, BY THE WAY.

Only thing I'm REALLY not sure on is Mewtwo getting TWO new forms. If that was the case.. Wouldn't we already know about it due to the movie? Although, I suppose, given the theory that X and Y have to do with chromosomes, it kinda makes sense, what with Mewtwo being the Genetics Pokemon and all, right? Still, I'm a little bit.. Skeptical on that particular bit. Everything else, particularly the Fairy Type and the starters' types are sounding great, though!

Honestly, a Water-Dark type sounds much more thrilling than a Grass-Dark type, as I already am in love with Shiftry. I don't need another! :lol:
