Topic: Pokemon X and Y

Let's hope so! That was my biggest gripe with Diamond and Pearl.

Looks legit.

That looks like Corocoro. I think on GoNintendo they said they were teasing something for this week. Announcing a few new Pokemon and maybe some Gym leaders sounds about right. Those shots look official. The logo's matchup with what Nintendo showed on the 7th. Still I am going to being Serebii for more scans.

Welp, upon checking the Serebii forums they appear to be fakes.
...
Oh boy. We're in fake season again.

Yeah, no pokemon news site has posted them. They're fake. Pretty sure CoroCoro scans don't leak out THIS early either.

Yep. 1000% Fake.

We're getting close to a month since the announcement. I hope Gamefreak reveals SOMETHING more. I'm getting restless.

Why would A) anybody do up a work and then claim someone else did it, and B) why would anyone believe it, when it was he submitted it to his gallery?

...unless he was completeky joking and never figured anyone would take it seriously? I guess that's possible. I mean, if it was real, he'd be in big trouble for submitting it to his gallery.

Read the comments. He openly says he and a few others made it, and it's fake.

Well thats never good. And the waiting game begins again.

Well no worries guys. It's February, so in about a week we should have some official leaks from CoroCoro which should really give us SOME new information. I hope we get at least one new Pokemon. Please. At least one new Pokemon a month until release still leaves plenty of surprises for when the game comes out!

As for that new mechanic Masuda said will be introduced in this game, I just had a thought! What if it's like the pair system in Fire Emblem? "The more you battle together, the stronger your bonds will become." What if that means the more you pair up two specific Pokemon in a double battle they become closer and get a boost in a stat when sent out together. That'd be cool and adds a new demension to the strategy.

^Actually, that would be very limiting and/or grindy. I really hope they don't do that...

i wouldn't mind that......that's my favorite thing about the new Fire Emblem game.

And the fakes just keep rolling in!

Those are still really cool though.

How do people come with and make this stuff?!
(And don't say the obvious answer to that)

Maybe specific type instead of Pokemon?

Well making them you need to use photoshop which is what these were. They also take ideas other fans want and make them the best they can and then they need to really master the creating aspect and how to make it seem real. It takes some time but it wouldn't be possible.( i hope this isn't the obvious answer)

I noticed that generally in most cases, Fakemon (Pokemon made up by fans) are approved by fans but some official new Pokemon designs shown are (for a lack of a better term) instantly complained about for a while. Typical...
As for the post above, I consider it fake until its officially announced.
