[quote="Alexandra":o5dosw50]Again, they're 100% real. There's MULTIPLE leakers putting out screenshots and videos of them.

In fact, we have the entire Pokedex for the region now, all the gym leaders and E4 members, a ton of stuff. SO STOP BEING SO SKEPTICAL. >_<

I believe you...but I want to be skeptical because I can be <img src=

Although, I will say that I love the type combos they went with. Assuming that the final Chespin evolution doesn't have awful stats, it could be the first grass starter of an even generation that I like. That is assuming I can get past Quilladin.

He's got solid stats. The Smogon crew figured out his base stats based on screenshots that SA's leaker put out, and his stats are pretty solid. Really defensive, obviously.

I'm surprised Smogon hasn't gotten a "cease and desist". Nintendo was handing those out with Gen V like they were free samples at the super market.

Smogon isn't leaking anything though.

Our main leakers are Kanpachi and E3 Keynote on SomethingAwful (Who are behind a paywall) and Josh from /vp/ (Who's slow and /vp/ is anonymous anyway). Nintendo can't really send C&D's to them.

Plus...it's their games. Once they've bought the games, they belong to them and Nintendo can't really do anything about it. They paid for them fair and square and legally.

Lucky bastards getting their games before everybody else. There's always the lucky few...and the chosen few that companies count on to leak shit to generate hype.

To get back onto the topic (sorry to sidetrack to the cease and desist comment), are there full lists detailing version exclusives? I only ask because I had pre-ordered Y, but I'm having second thoughts of switching to X. Kind of the last week I could do that, you know?

That's it. Seriously.

Unless there's exclusive stuff in the National Dex but that doesn't really count.

huh..that's...kind of pathetic actually. I was certain serebii would have some new ones to post there (obviously Mega Charizard X & Y should be added to that list), but if that's it, I'm surprised at Gamefreak.

by Alexandra Mon Oct 07, 2013 5:50 am

That's really it. This is a reeeeally small generation, overall. Only around 70 new Pokemon (Not counting Mega evolutions or event legendaries that we have no way of finding out about).

by mnpinner Mon Oct 07, 2013 5:55 am

So there are still about 30 new Pokemon they have yet to officially announce (judging from the count on Serebii's list of officially announced 6th Gen list)

by Alexandra Mon Oct 07, 2013 5:56 am

As I mentioned, we have a full list already, barring event legends and Mega evolutions.
