New Generation VI Pokemon Revealed [permalink]
Posted by Jigglypuff on 11 May 2013 at 1:56pm PDT Updated on 15 May 2013 at 7:32am PDT
Update: the English Pokemon site was updated today, Tuesday May 14, with English names and background information about these Pokemon, characters and the story/Region. Information has been added to the news post below. Many more screenshots can be seen at the links provided. First, we have Gogoat (Japanese name Gogoto), a Grass-type goat who is featured prominently in the new issue. Some screenshots even show the player riding around on top of a Gogoat through a crowded city. At 1.7m/5'7" and 91kg/200.6 lbs, it can also use the move Horn Leech and is known as the Ride Pokemon. The site states, "Gogoat is so large that people are able to ride on its back. It's very calm, and can form a strong bond with its Trainer's feelings when its Trainer grabs onto its horns." Next up is Pancham (Japanese name Yanchamu), a Fighting-type panda bear whose species translates as the Naughty Pokemon, as the official site states, "With its trademark leaf always sticking out of its mouth, Pancham tries to intimidate its opponents by glaring at them intensely (although this is rarely successful)." At 0.6m/2" and 8kg/17.6 lbs, it learns a new move, Parting Shot that lowers the opponent's Attack and Special Attack stats and then forces Pancham to switch out. Third is Helioptile (Japanese name Erikiteru), a Normal/Electric-type lizard Pokemon and the first XY Pokemon confirmed to have a new type combination. In addition to learning a new Electric-type variation of Giga Drain known as Parabolic Charge, Helioptile is 0.5m/1'8" tall, weighs 6kg/13.2 lbs and is known as the Generator Pokemon, as the site states: "Helioptile charges itself by bathing in the light of the sun, providing it with enough energy that it doesn't need to eat!" Lastly is Fletchling (Japanese name Yayakoma), a Normal/Flying-type Japanese robin who has the ability to use Flame Charge. The site states of it, "With a friendly nature and a beautiful chirp, Fletchling is a popular Pokemon among many Trainers. But Fletchling is also known to be ferocious in battle, capable of unleashing relentless attacks!" Its species translates to the Robin Pokemon. It is 0.3m/1' tall and weighs only 1.7kg/3.7 lbs. Other information we have includes that the game takes place in the Kalos Region (Karosu in Japanese) region, which is shaped like a star and is divided into subregions. A major city, and the one shown in videos so far, is Lumiose City, which is based on France. Also, when choosing a character there are now some basic customization options for each gender, including hair and skin color, with slight variations between each style. Although the first images seem like there are set physical options, another set of screenshots show your characters in a mirror, which allows you to customize their accessories and clothing. Chespin, Fennekin and Froakie's species are the Chestnut, Fox and Bubble Frog Pokemon, and Chespin's moves include Tackle, Growl, Vine Whip and Rollout, Fennekin's starting mvoesets are Scratch, Tail Whip, Ember and Howl, while Froakie begins with Pound, Growl, Bubble and Quick Attack. New blurbs about the personalities of each starter, as well as the Legendaries and Sylveon, can be seen on the official site's new Pokemon page as well. Many thanks to Rhapsody for cleaning up the images for me.

New Mewtwo Forme Revealed on Pokemon Smash and Pokemon.com [permalink]
Posted by Frost on 6 Apr 2013 at 6:34pm PDT Updated on 13 Apr 2013 at 6:58pm PDT
As many of you probably know, a poster for the sixteenth movie leaked about a week ago that had a new Pokemon that looked highly similar to Mewtwo, causing discussion that the new games/movie would feature a new form of Mewtwo. We decided not to post it here because nobody was certain of the legitimacy of the images... but now that the creature featured in the posters has official confirmation, here it is: It's important to note that the none of the official sources have confirmed whether this is an alternate form of Mewtwo or a separate Pokemon who is related to him, like how Mewtwo and Mew are separate but related Pokemon. No other information about the Pokemon was given out, but a short video of Newtwo in action against Rampardos is also featured on the official XY page. I should reiterate that we can't jump to conclusions about what exactly "Newtwo" is; many expected Luvdisc and Alomomola to be related when BW came out, and that turned out to be false! ETA: Corocoro leaked on Friday, April 12, and confirmed that the new Pokemon is indeed, a new forme of Mewtwo.

March Corocoro Leaks; Eeveelution Ninfia Revealed! [permalink]
Posted by Frost on 12 Feb 2013 at 4:02am PST Updated on 12 Feb 2013 at 4:14am PST
Last night, pictures from the March edition of Corocoro were leaked, revealing that Generation VI will introduce a new evolution for Eevee named Ninfia, making it the sixth Pokemon from XY to be revealed. (It's important to note that unlike when the Starters and Legendaries were revealed last month, Ninfia is obviously the Pokemon's Japanese name.) Ninfia's type is unknown, but its height is 1m and its weight is 23.5kg. It will be featured the upcoming Pikachu short in the Japan, while Mewtwo will also be featured in the sixteenth Pokemon movie starring Genesect. Pokemon Smash was scheduled to reveal some big news next weekend, but it will probably just be covering these revelations again. Let the whining about new evolutions begin!!

Pokemon X and Pokemon Y Names Revealed! [permalink]
Posted by Frost on 9 Jan 2013 at 8:44am PST
This morning on the official English Pokemon site, a small update was made to give us the English names of the (presumably Legendary/mascot) Pokemon that resemble a Y-shaped bird and a deer with X-shaped antlers. The Y-shaped bird Pokemon is now known as Yveltal (pronounce the "Yve" part like "eve") while the deer-like Pokemon is Xerneas (pronounce the X as a Z). Like most Legendary Pokemon, they retain these names across several languages.

Pokemon Direct 1.8.2013 [permalink]
Posted by Elite4 Admin on 8 Jan 2013 at 3:10am PST Updated on 8 Jan 2013 at 3:59am PST
Nintendo's first official broadcast of the year has revealed some exciting news! Two new Pokemon games are going to be released for the Nintendo 3DS. Pokemon fans, we have generation six: Pokemon X and Pokemon Y! For the first time in Pokemon history, the game will be released across all regions simultaneously in October 2013. Gameplay footage looks impressive, with lush environments in full 3D. The battle scenes follow suit, demonstrating a dynamic and fluid camera that is more akin to Colosseum/XD-style battle. Furthermore, the three starters have been announced: Chespin the grass starter, Fennekin the fire starter, and Froakie the water starter. We've also had a look at the new legendaries too, though their names have not been announced! The full video is available for viewing at the Nintendo Direct Archive. Exciting times ahead! What features are you wanting in these new games? Will you be getting them when they come out?

Site Tinkering [permalink]
Posted by Jigglypuff on 27 Dec 2012 at 5:09pm PST
Just a quick little note from me tonight. We've had our second issue with the database throwing some odd little errors in the last couple weeks. I'm running some diagnostics on the backend to try to figure out what's up. What this means to you is that the site might be running a little bit slower than usual as we head into the new year. So, don't sweat it if pages start taking an extra second or two to load. But do tell me if they stop loading all together. That would be bad. Also, I hope you all have had and continue to have a happy holiday season and end of the year. I'll have some more interesting news for you all next time, promise.

Card Scans Added to the Site [permalink]
Posted by Frost on 6 Dec 2012 at 8:29am PST Updated on 6 Dec 2012 at 5:59pm PST
Hey all. Over the past couple of months, Jiggz has referred to a "project" I've been working on. If you've been following us on Facebook, you'd also probably know what it is: I've been working on scanning my entire collection so that Psypoke can have card scans for the TCG section and, FINALLY, everything that I own has been scanned, cropped, processed, uploaded and is displaying properly!! Truth be told, I expected this to be done a LOT sooner. However since I never did something like this before, it involved a lot of trial and error. I actually had to scan my entire collection twice because after the first run of scanning, I realized just how clearly my scanner could pick up fine hairs and dust and little things stuck on my scanner's glass. The two runs of scanning went from late July through August. Next, we had to figure out a way to mass process images of over 6000 cards. A program was made to let me place points along the borders of the cards, which would then crop and process the scans, but the inconsistent layouts of the cards over the years meant that this couldn't be automated. After placing nine border points for nearly 7000 cards, the processing algorithm provided many cards with incredibly uneven borders and botched cropping. So then the algorithm had to be revised and the points had to be replaced for any cards that didn't turn out correctly. This went on from September to November. After the scans were processed and cropped, the image files also needed to be sorted out, renamed and uploaded to the site, and a mapping of each image to the card's data in the Deck Dex had to be created, including noting the correct image URLs for any reprint cards, i.e. Base Set 2, most of the BW Promos, etc. This also involved transcribing hundreds of promos, Dragons Exalted, Dragon Vault, Boundaries Crossed and basically anything else that hadn't been added to the Deck Dex since 2010. (Probably 600-700 new cards were added to the site altogether!) Three days ago we finally got to the point where the scans were running live on the site, but then I had to go through and make sure the links of each card were producing the correct images. There were a lot of links producing nonsensical images due to renaming errors when the images were mass-renamed, and for some reason any reprint cards in our database were displaying the image files for the original version of the card. Now, thankfully, everything has been sorted and AT LAST, the card scans are running smoothly. Nobody needed to know all of this tl;dr wall of text, but I felt it was necessary to explain why it's taken so long and why, on Facebook, I'd say "The card scans are almost done!!" only for them to... not be done. So yeah, enjoy! :3 Also I recorded booster box openings of Dragons Exalted and Boundaries Crossed in the interim.

Black and White 2: Round 2 [permalink]
Posted by Jigglypuff on 16 Oct 2012 at 8:25pm PDT
Alright, so this time around we've got a few things. One, I fixed the links in the menu that I'd goofed the first time around. Oops. More importantly, the beginning of the Black and White 2 Walkthrough, kindly written up by Evil Penguin, is now available. More to come on that, obviously. And, to go with it, I've also revived the use of our YouTube Game Media channel. I'll be doing more video playthroughs of the games in the coming weeks when I have the time.

Black and White 2: Round 1 [permalink]
Posted by Jigglypuff on 9 Oct 2012 at 7:50pm PDT
First thing's first, you'll find that the Psydex includes the new forms and Pokedex entries for all Pokemon. Further updates to the Psydex are forthcoming. In a similar vein, a Black and White 2 section has been started up, and includes a Gym Leaders and Elite 4 guide. Additional content is on the way. Also, as you may have gathered from the last update, the old Nintendo Events page isn't currently up to date. I've never really been satisfied with it, so plans are in the works for something better. No real sense putting new parts into the old car when you're already hunting for a new one. So, we'll handle events the old fashioned way for now, posting about them in these news updates. We'll keep chugging along during the week here, and hopefully this weekend a few of us will have a little more time to bring some more new things online for the site.
