To be honest, due to the way the game has been hyped up, it's not the best idea to strictly adhere to patterns and say Z is a certainty (at least in the same sense of Platinum or Emerald). With the upcoming game, no matter which theory you side with, you have to admit this situation has been rather unusual for a final game in the Generation as:Where not getting gen 7. Like there's always a 3rd game.... Always.Yellow, Crystal, Emerald, Platinum and in a sense B2 and W2 like gamefreak has never broke the formula... Ever.Like really a 3rd game is happening just stop being impatient its obvious were getting a game this year especially Z
No, Espeon...Pokken News Time!
, , , , , and are all confirmed assists. Cubone is with Diglett, Magneton is with Quagsire, and Espeon is with Umbreon.
Guys, about half of the Eeveelutions (including Eevee itself) are assists. For Playable character, it is now narrowed down to Flareon, Jolteon, Vaporeon, Leafeon, or Glaceon.
EDIT: 'd
That isn't really a fair comparison becauseIf Pokkén was friggin' Super Smash Brothers everyone would badmouth the developers and scream ESPEON DECONFIRMED
is ALWAYS trueIf x wasSuper Smash Brothers everyone would badmouth the developers
What about favoritism with starters?If some Eeveelutions are Pokken assists, I don't see other ones being playable. That would be expressing favoritism in terms of evolutions that are supposed to be equal options.
I think all of the Eeveelutions will be assists if some of them are already confirmed as such.

I've literally said this so many times! I couldn't agree more!Nah I ain't buying it.I buy us getting a game they combines kalos and hoenn into one story before we get gen 7 before a 3rd game for gen 6 is released. That's a certainty. Were not getting gen 7 this year
Eh, I could understand this but I see it more like how braixen is playable but fenniken's an assist. Yes it's different, but it shows that pokemon connected by evolution can still be playable and assists.If some Eeveelutions are Pokken assists, I don't see other ones being playable.

I'm so happy that I'm not the only one who thinks delta Z would be epic.Like it would be so cool if they found a way to connect both regions into one huge storyI've literally said this so many times! I couldn't agree more!
It's Delta Z, I will stick by this till it's not that.

So I wouldn't be surprised to see slyveon. Vaporeon could be cool to though.
The assists look really nice though!
Delta Z would be cool. Travel between world's through Hoopa's portals. Collect 16 badges to compete in the Azoth Pokemon League.I'm so happy that I'm not the only one who thinks delta Z would be epic.Like it would be so cool if they found a way to connect both regions into one huge story
Agreed, I think it would work so well! They did it with crystal/hg/ss, and considering all the hints they have, I think it could happen again.I'm so happy that I'm not the only one who thinks delta Z would be epic.Like it would be so cool if they found a way to connect both regions into one huge story
A fall release date wouldn't surprise me at all. Even before learning this, I had an inkling that one of Pokemon Z's potential release months was September, and looks like this could well be the case. Granted, this is just speculation and perhaps PokemonZ may not necessarily be released in September or October, but we'll see.The schedule for this year’s Pokemon League could potentially be hinting at “Z” being released in September or October.
Every month a new season commences at Pokemon League. Each season is named after current happenings in the TCG or video games, so sometimes the season names can hint at events that will be happening in the Pokemon world.
We’ve been able to obtain the names for this year’s upcoming seasons, which TPCi has released through September:
If a new game is to be released and Magiana is in it, September or October seem to be the best bet. When Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphirewere released on November 21st, December’s Pokemon League season was “Rustboro City” and the following seasons were all Gym cities.
- January: The season is named “Break,” referring to the TCG’s current BREAK block. The block introduced a theme to the TCG pitting the world of nature against the world of technology.
- February: “Parallel” – Referring to BREAKthrough, the first BREAK set released in November. The set description for XY8 BREAKthrough is “Parallel Worlds: Two Paths to Power!” (Referring to the nature vs. technology theme.)
- March: “Rift” – Referring to BREAKpoint, the second BREAK set that was released in stores this month. The set description for XY9 BREAKpoint is “A Rift Torn Between Worlds!” (The two worlds fight.)
- April: “Worlds Collide” – Referring to XY10 Fates Collide. The set description mentions the two worlds will be unified. It will have its prereleases in this month, but its official release date is May 4th.
- May: “New Friends” – What could this be? There’s nothing on the TCG horizon that suggests anything involving “new friends,” unless they’re stretching to say “new friends” were made after the conflict was resolved. (Although the set description doesn’t say that, which is what all of the season names have thus far drawn from.)
- June: “Alakazam” – Alakazam is the mascot for XY10 Fates Collide. Oddly, they’re using Alakazam here instead of in the previous month, which is when its set would be in stores. This might suggest “New Friends” is referring to something important in the month of May and that they’re purposefully moving names around it. I’m probably looking too much into this though. Onward!
- July: “Closure” – The Play! Pokemon season ends in July, so this is referring to that and / or the end of the conflict in the BREAK sets.
- August: “Steam” – Volcanion. Obviously. This is the start of the new season and a new naming convention, being a noun to describe a specific Pokemon.
- September: “Gear” – Magiana. Its name is a combination of マキナ (machine) and ギア (gear). And it’s got a big ol’ gear on its head.
- (The rest of the year’s seasons were not released.)
While Magiana being the mascot for September could also refer to the release of the next movie, all the recent Pokemon films have aired on Cartoon Network in either October or December, so it’s unlikely this is what Magiana and Volcanion’s placements mean. Not to mention Pokemon League seasons aren’t themed after the anime; they’re for the TCG and main series games. Assuming they’re sticking to this.
So about the only thing we can say with certainty is that if there is going to be a new game, and if Magiana is going to be in it, they’d be using Magiana for a Pokemon League season when it would be relevant to the video game world (September or October). What this naming schedule also means is that we probably won’t get a “Z” anytime soon, especially with all the “fluff” terms they used to pad out the first half of the year. If a new “Z” game was coming soon, they’d probably be using more relevant names.
All of this is assuming of course that Pokemon has decided to continue naming Pokemon League seasons after current events, and that the above schedule is synced to what will be happening. For example, they could release a “Z” game earlier in the year, but for some reason only choose to promote it at Pokemon League much later. However, there’s no precedent for that, and it would be odd playing in a League season themed after Alakazam when a new game is out.
In the future if we learn something new or can look at the above evidence differently, I’ll post an update to let people know.
That's super interesting.So, I have been talking to some friends and eventually, I came jsut for the heck of it to count the words I did on the biggest post I have done ont he forums or at least that I am aware of.
I am a very exhaustive person so these posts are often something I review in details and I am known to be VERY exhaustive like......walls and monsters of texts.
So what I did is I compiled imo the 5 biggests and memorable posts I have done with their number of words, idk if they are factually the biggest, but they realyl are the most notable one for sure. this shoudl give an idea of what i mean by "being an exhaustive person"
5: this one I hoenstly expected to be a lot longer, but my famous (or infamous) ridley essay. I think @Con0rrrr will remmeber that one well, but it scored a total of 5632 words. What is special abotu it is I got a ton of likes, the msot like I ever got like 55 likes......
http://smashboards.com/threads/the-...-end-of-an-era.324284/page-1099#post-17045763
Now at thsi point you might think I am crazy to type 5.6k words......it gets worse!
4: My spm "summary" review. idk hoenstly guys whyt I called it like that becuase it has 6216 words. @Red Hunter Z yes, that;s how much I had to say about it when I beat it Anyway, a lot of the text is me saying why I think the spm gameplay is genius and why it jsut made so much sense. This is the deepest I ever got into talking about spm so

3: My very recent paper jam review which has 6833 words! This one is really detailed and I got a bit greedy on these subtittles
http://smashboards.com/threads/thin...super-mario-maker.421629/page-2#post-20799659
2: it got very close to number 2 with its 6850 words, my famous SS review. Yes, the one I ranted with a big passion on world 3 and pretty much told that the game is messed up in what it is really. I will mention this: if you were ever curious to what I actually think of SS and how I see it as a game, this is the best post you could get because I never will go into even more details about it. You have everything I will say about it, except I summarise it elsewhere than this post:
http://smashboards.com/threads/thin...d-migration-soon.324473/page-52#post-19166400
^I am serious, I paid the physical version of the game full price even after one exchange to type that text and 100% being honest: it was worth it.
now you might think there;s no possible way I can tiop that right?
.....
ladies and gentlemen, the biggest post I have EVER written online and of course, on smashbaords, I have not written a longer post than.....
1: MY TTYD MEMORIES! this one....is a heck of a story. See, the day i started to write it, it was TTYD's 10th anniversary so I wanted to pay a tribute to the best game I played by basically saying EVERYTHING in how much this game impacted me and actually review it at the same time. It was so huge I made it into 3 parts which was playing the game, getting into glitch hunting and what happened when I glitch hunt, I detail EVERYTHING. In fact, I wrote so mcuh that I posted it on the day after so i was late, i never thought I would write THAT much so yeah.....it;s legit huge.
Wanna know how long?
10830 words.
I am not kidding, even the collapse tags are broken. So, honestly, unless you are REALLY enthusiast about knowing how TTYD affected me, don;t bother reading it because it is legit a monster.....
http://smashboards.com/threads/thin...d-migration-soon.324473/page-18#post-17133237
This post, I honestly consider a huge lore of me because it actually tells a lot about me.
So yeah, let;s recap:
5: ridley essay 5632 words.
4: spm review 6216 words
3: pj review 6833 words
2: SS review 6850 words.
1: TTYD memories 10830 words.
So, if you ever think you written a long post before, get on my level
Since when were Pokemon on equal levels?! Its a possibility that we can get Hitmontop, but not Hitmonchan or Hitmonlee. A Pokemons inclusion shouldnt be tied down simply because of their other forms/evolutions being an assist.If some Eeveelutions are Pokken assists, I don't see other ones being playable. That would be expressing favoritism in terms of evolutions that are supposed to be equal options.
I think all of the Eeveelutions will be assists if some of them are already confirmed as such.

If I couldn't get my Triforce Heroes character wish for HWL I might as well get it a successor for it elsewhere.How good would 'Eeveeloution Trio' be as a fighter. With the original 3 as the fighters. Chained together or something.
Well that was an interesting way for me to go out...The dome closes and starts dropping acid rain.Killed in this acid rain is NintenZ @PushDustIn @Luigi The President CyberHyperPhoenix @WhiteEaglePL A Distant Demon and @wedl .7 deaths by acid rain, that really lowered the playing field
I was expecting G&W to somehow be able to bucket her Smash Attacks.
The Bayo player kinda had it coming but this is hilarious.

I wouldn't object.
Although it wouldn't make a lot of sense because they're still Pokemon battles. 3 on 1 is illegal, probably.
Sylveon's already an assist, so it's probably out of the running.So I wouldn't be surprised to see slyveon. Vaporeon could be cool to though.
That's very interesting and it would make sense since along with this, VGC is using ORAS as their main game, pushing whatever comes next past at least June/July. So I could see us getting the game in September/October.Since there was a Pokemon Z/Gen 6.5 discussion going on, I thought I'd bring in something interesting that surprisingly wasn't discussed yet.
Pokebeach posted an interesting tidbit three days ago that could be pointing at a possible time frame when Pokemon Z/next main series games will be released based on details about the newest TCG Pokemon League season. Here's the information from their news story.
A fall release date wouldn't surprise me at all. Even before learning this, I had an inkling that one of Pokemon Z's potential release months was September, and looks like this could well be the case. Granted, this is just speculation and perhaps PokemonZ may not necessarily be released in September or October, but we'll see.
What do you all think about this news tidbit?
"(Wake me up)> Umbreon confirmed as an assist
> Dragonite is also an assist
Someone wake me up from this nightmare

Creepy yet cool result.
