So yes, Sakurai has once again blown us away with his art of trolling.... Also this deconfirms ROB getting revealed today.

This is why I love Sakurai, unpredictable as ****. :laugh:
Really? This is why I hate the guy almost as much as I hate Tetsuya Nomura...Well okay, maybe not THAT much. XD

I really hope I can just carve out his ugly teeth someday. ¦D

That aside, I AM looking forward to everyone's reactions to this today. Especially the negative ones. ¦3

I'm just kinda glancing in here after seeing the pic of day. Not fully back yet.

Don't know if there has been anything establish or things happened.

I approve of Xerneas Pic!

Sakurai: expert troll.
Sakurai is reacting to his Sakuraite!
Sakurai Mega Evolved into Mega Troll!

In all seriousness though, this must mean something right? Pokeballs slightly more confirmed than they were before?

Okay, am I the only one who just got error'd off the site? I wouldn't think so, since the number of people viewing this thread, as an example, just dropped a lot, but I'm not sure.

Well, we got the Pokémon X & Y update everyone has been asking for.

But the bigger question is what exactly is Xerneas' role in this game. Yes, Sakurai, you're a troll.

Sakurai is officially a master troll. There can be no other explanation.

Xerneas is either a Poké Ball or a stage hazard... Judging by the background, it seems that it's a new stage.

I'd say it's a pretty good chance of being Battlefield. Or perhaps the Pilotwings stage. Both of them have clear blue backgrounds at times, ones like in the pic, if taken from the right angle.

Good point. But something about it seems different: both Battlefield and Pilotwings/Wuhu Island have cloudy backgrounds and this also has a brighter blue sky.

That quote makes me cringe. He really loves (trying) to mess/ing/ with us, eh?




But I gotta say, things got interesting, to say the least. I believe this be a pokeball PKMN though. (Because do we really need Spear Pillar 2.0)

Also does this mean that we get dual representation from both Unova + Kalos, hm...

For me it's obviously a new poké ball. Also Xerneas > Yveltal so I'm happy.
I don't think his message is referring to another sneaky announcement later today though.

I think this video sums up basically what we'll be going through for the waiting until the release:



Omochao is Sakurai, totally.

Monitor boxes are Megaman and whatelse captured your attention for SSB4.

And you know the rest.

Sakurai: expert troll.
Sakurick-rolled again. -~-

Edit: Serebii.net - Another new feature is the furthering of IV transfer. Previously, when the parent Pokémon had power items attached, it guaranteed the transfer of one of the IVs, while several IVs were guaranteed to pass down. However, as of X & Y, if you have one of the parents hold the Destiny Knot item, then 5 IVs total from either parent will be guaranteed to be transferred.

YES.

Ahaha, Sakurai is such a troll. He knew what he was doing. At least the Xerneas model looks better than the Pokémon models in the previous game. Later.

Ditto would actually be amazing as a playable character, since it could transform into different Pokemon for every attack. Could randomly transform into different ones for the same attacks even.

For its Final Smash it bones the opponent and has an egg with them and Ditto leaves its opponent to care for it all alone.

Sakurai gets extra troll points for posting this with a COMPLETELY EMPTY background. But I'm super curious on Xerneas' role:

- Poké Ball summoning?
- Stage hazard?
- Boss?
- Playable character? (okay, this is the least likely but still)

I'm pretty sure it's a Pokeball summon, though the position of Xenreas head and Pikachu looks rather suspescious, Pikachu could be standing on a Xerneas float, but it could also just be that Xerneas is crouching or something.(not sure how big Xerneas is actually...) Heck, Xerneas might even be a hazard you can stand on.

Welp, it's now Saturday in Japan so, yes, Sakurai was in fact epically trolling the entire fanbase. I almost have to applaude him because he knows that his Twitter and Miiverse accounts are going to be flooded with angry messages all weekend long.

I just got off Skype with one of my grade school friends who is now in Japan. From what he tells me the people who talks to Smash about loves what Sakurai does.

I liked the picture yesterday. Fox is so cute in this game.

Apparently, this picture was put up earlier than the past pics this week. People are saying this happens when there's an announcement of a character? I don't know, I don't pay much attention to daily pics until I wake up at 11AM or 12PM :3

Have Miiverse on my phone ready for the daily pics. I am doubting though, that he'll announce another character. Because it's Sakurai. Maybe this is what is keeping his sanity developing these games. Trolling fans. I think it's fantastic. I'd probably do the same.

Let us have a silence of approval as the master troll Sakurai will now bathe on a hot tub the whole weekend made of tears of every butthurt fan.

Yep.

I think its more of a case of people wanting to find an excuse to say troll.
Even though being unpredictable =/= trolling. :glare:

Sakurai: expert troll.
HE KNOWS! When he wants to, this guy is a master troll.

And praise be to Arceus for the pokemon models to not look like ass like in Brawl.
All this Xerneas talk has awakened my inner love of gems.
Gems are truly outrageous.

I'm gonna miss Izzy, but I wouldn't be surprise we see her in the near future.
