Pokemon X and Y Rumors ~ Feb 24th, 2013

Looking around the Internet, I found a source regarding rumors for rumors regarding the new Pokemon X and Y. This news came at a shocker so I’m sure you’ll enjoy reading them. Some of these rumors seems legit while the others are not (for a fact) not going to happen. Here are the rumors:

* Main characters are Jean and Jane; names are non-customizable
* Trainer now appears in the bottom screen during battle, with a speech bubble interface holding the trainer commands inside
* Trainers now have their own leveling system that affects how in-game NPCs react to you and grants various bonuses such as increasing capture rate and the rarity of Pokémon encountered
* A new key item called the Whistle can be used once per battle with differing effects, such as waking up a Pokémon or snapping it out of confusion.
* A bond level replaces the happiness meter from past games; higher bond levels grant bonuses such as experience or stat gain for Pokémon
* Bond level bonuses and the whistle feature can be turned off in PvP matches for the benefit of competitive play
* A new item called the Bond-EYE that resembles a pair of sunglasses allows players to view the nature of wild Pokémon and their capture rate
* The Bond-EYE also allows players to see visual avatars of other players and send them messages or trade and battle requests; this feature, akin to the Miiverse function in Nintendo Land, will be the first of its kind on the 3DS
* Wireless co-op is now possible, with one player being the leader and the other aiding in battle
* Players not able to play cooperatively will be allowed to request aid from NPC trainers in their adventures via a juice bar located in every town
* The PokéDex resembles a tablet with a 3D display that allows players to view Pokémon models, read full paragraph descriptions of them, hear their cries, view their locations, compare their sizes and weights with others, and read comments made by other trainers around the world about them
* Excess money can be stored in banks that grant interest and special gifts upon depositing certain amounts
* Using a special wristwatch device, players can travel 30 years into the past which features different characters, younger versions of current characters, different layouts, and different wild Pokémon
* The rival faction is Team Gear whose members wear purple bodysuits with black clock hands on them; they mess with events in the past that affect the present
* In one part of the game, you must catch a Munchlax in the past to clear the road of a Snorlax in the future, suggesting that past generations of Pokémon will be available from the start
* The professor is Professor Bristle and the rival is Ricki, a magazine writer who documents the strange events occurring in the past
* The new generation consists of 99 new Pokémon, many of them baby Pokémon and new evolutions of current Pokémon
* Sylveon is a Normal Pokémon that evolves based on the new bond level; it is the only new Eeveelution
* There will be a total of six legendary Pokémon that include Xerneas (Psychic/Rock) and Yveltal (Ghost/Flying) along with four black and white Pokémon based on card suits: a cobra with a heart-shaped hood and tail, a tiger with diamond patterns, a t-rex with spade-shaped eyes, and a peacock with a club-shaped tail
  • Most of the brand new Pokémon will be new type combinations such as Fire/Ice and Dark/Electric.
  • The types of the final evolutions of the starter Pokémon will be Grass/Flying, Fire/Psychic, and Water

I’ll post my opinions later, so… For now, what do you thinnk?
