• BREAKING NEWS: New Pokemon names and other news!

    So, a few days ago CoroCoro leaked, and along with the 'Mega Evolutionary' Pokémon that were shown, three new Pokémon were shown: Dedenne, Horubi and Me'ekuru and I'm now happy to tell you their English names: Horubi's English name is Bunnelby, Me'ekuru's English name is Skiddo and Dedenne's English name is, wait for it... Dedenne! Making it another Pokémon to join Pikachu in the ranks of having the same name worldwide!

    In other news now, and Junichi Masuda has appeared at the Pokémon World Championships in Vancouver, Canada to release a new Pokémon as a exclusive sneak peek to all entrants. This Pokémon is the 7th Mega Pokémon, and it is: Mega Kangaskhan! Mega Kangaskhan has the unique ability of Parental Bond, which effectively allows the user to attack twice in the same turn! A picture can be found here courtesy of Bulbapedia's Twitter page: http://twitter.com/BulbaNewsNOW/sta...184896/photo/1 and a video of Mr. Masuda's announcement can be found here:

    Also breaking news is the announcement of 'Super Training!'
    Super Training is a new method of training that will increase the base stats of a Pokémon by completing Super-Training Regimens. With the new feature Super Training, the base stats of a Pokémon are raised more easily. When the player isn't in battle or viewing an event, they can do Super Training. The Player Search System and Pokémon-Amie can be used to train the Pokémon through Super Training. In Super Training, the Pokémon can train themselves. In one of the Super Training Regimens, the player's Pokémon will face Pokémon shaped balloons and try to shoot footballs in the opponent's goal.

    Also the Pokemon X and Y Soundtrack will be released worldwide on iTunes in November this year.

    Finally the first ever Event Pokemon of Pokemon X and Y will be released the same day as the games' release. It will be a Torchic with it's Hidden Ability of Speed Boost, with the moves Scratch, Growl, Focus Energy, and Ember. It will be Male, is Level 10, it comes in a Cherish ball, has 'XY' as it's OT, has a Premier Ribbon and most importantly is holding the 'Blazikenite' which is the required item for Blaziken to Mega Evolve. Each of the other Mega Pokemon will appear to have an item similar to this, however oddly enough only Blaziken and Lucario have been confirmed to have these 'Poke-nites'.

    So what do you guys think? Drop a comment below and I'll catch you again with more news soon!

      Bunnelby isn't a particular favorite of mine to be honest. I love little Dedenne because it's so cute. First Gen 6 Fairy type Pokemon I like.
      And I agree. If Kangaskhan has good enough stats I can see a lot of players using it at VGC events as the Parental Bond will give you a good advantage especially with moves like the shown Mega Punch, and even Outrage will go fantastically on this guy.
