It's cool to have the silhouette here as it might have to do with XY.
For Grant, I'm guessing dark-type.

In response to the horse collab image on the last page, here's a nice image of the new game... Soliti Horse Probably not what anybody expected, but with a teaser of "well known game played all around the world", it's not surprising that it's Solitaire, despite the fact that it is pretty surprising Here's a link for anyone interested: Neigh(Also, I can take this off if it's too off-topic or anything) Now that I'm done with that bit of information, let's get back to pokemon. I'm thinking that Grant will either be Dark or Rock. He's wearing all dark clothing, but with the position he's in and his hair, I wouldn't be surprised if he was the Rock gym leader. It'd be pretty great to get our first Dark-type gym leader, though

ಠ_ಠ I... I, uh, don't really know what to say to that... I guess I'm happy that they're trying new things (HarmoKnight was pretty good too). Still, I feel like I've been duped.

Serebii: Reeeaaaally hoping this is fake. Well, it's mostly just the names I object to. Adding prefixes like that is more of a Digimon thing. EDIT: It's been confirmed. Upon reflection, I reckon I can come to like it. Quite a few of those Pokémon needed a boost, and they look good for the most part.

The fact that Mawlie/Absol are getting a Mega form as opposed to just a regular evolution kinda baffles me.
Not to mention it scares me, seeing as Dunsparce might get a Mega form instead of the badass Dragon/Fairy evolution it deserves, and that just won't do!
EDIT: It seems as though Mega-ization won't be permanent, but is rather activated by held items in battle which give stat buffs, type/ability changes, and the new forms we see in CoroCoro.

I can't believe they're calling them "mega evolutions."
They seem cool and all, but digimon did it first.

Gonna give MegaLucario a chance unless the Megas are like the new evolutions back in Diamond & Pearl where you couldn't get them till after you had the National Pokedex then maybe I won't use them at all. :T

In order to Mega Evolve, you need your trainer to be shot by an Angel.
In all seriousness, I like them and hope that these aren't the only ones. (please MegaTyphlosion please)

Wait... if Blaziken and Ampharos can MegaEvolve... does this technically break the rule of there only being three levels of evolution in a line?

Okay, so to recap: -Mega Evolution is in-battle only -The trade-off for this seemingly overpowered state is having to have a hold item to initiate the change (so no Choice Bands or anything) -EVs are now trackable (THANK GOD) -Super Training is a new feature that allows you to strengthen Pokémon outside of battle -Apparently this will increase base stats (by that, they mean EVs, I think?) -The new gym leader is Korrina, she is a PRO SKATER but knows a lot about Mega Evolution (people are guessing that she's either Normal or Fighting)

At first I was shocked at this new revelation, but now I think it's pretty cool. I'm not sure if already powerful Pokémon like Lucario and Blaziken need MORE power, but at least these forms won't be permanent. Makes me wonder why they call them Mega Evolutions instead of Mega Forms. I've seen some great art of these new Mega Pokémon on DeviantArt and people seem to love to make L'Oréal jokes about Mega Ampharos. Also, I think Mega Absol looks like an alicorn.

So today I bought a 3DS and preordered Y and got a poster for it. So glad they come out the day before my birthday.
