Tbh I'm perfectly okay with a new game that follows the 8 gyms formula, as long as the new designs are solid. Pokemon has taken my soul.

I'm using Kissmanga because each chapter is one page that you scroll down.

Is this legit?

Please put that in a spoiler tag.

Don't care if it's not legit. I want to be surprised.

Sorry about that. Although wasn't that kinda already revealed albeit without an animation

Phew, it's from an arcade game called Pokemon Tretta.

Grunbeld seems like he'd be a good Dark Souls boss

I wonder if we'll get a Mewtwo Z or a Charizard Z

Yeah let's continue fan wanking Charizard.

Maybe it will actually be called XY and Z version like the show.
I wonder how the Zygrade cells are going to play into the game if at all.

Maybe you add them to Zygarde like you do with the DNA Splicers

These screenshots tho <3

Some good changes, kinda funny that once again dice used the nerf bat so hard they had to come back and buff the things they crippled.

What was re-buffed? I didn't pay much attention last time

I think they nerfed the bowcaster and barrage cards, now they buffed em.
Oh and the homing shot too, they reduced it's lockon time.

I swear it feels like they've proper nerfed the Pulse Rifle too, all my shots keep going way off.

Eh, I like the song itself but I'm not sure if it fits the trailer.

Not too many new things here, but WOOOHOOO ELITE KNIGHT ARMOR, BABY.

Right as I got nuked too. I was like 2 kills ahead, pretty much neck and neck with the other guy on my team the whole time. I would have been SO pissed if that nuke was timed a little bit earlier and killed me.

So, here's what I'm expecting:

Basically, Pokémon Z. But it's not going to be your usual lazy third installment. They're going to spice it up somehow.

If you're like me, you noticed that Generation VI was noticeably lacking in the new Pokémon department. We were only given about 70 new Pokémon to catch--the lowest there has ever been for a new generation. It just felt like we were only given half of a generation.

I think Pokémon Z, for the first time ever, is going to give us the other half. That's right--I expect to see 70-100 brand new Pokémon for Generation VI. It won't be the seventh generation, mind you--it'll be the second half of the sixth generation. Why would they do this?

Well, like I said--they're very aware that people are getting tired of the Pokémon formula. Having us buy two of the same game is insulting enough--but a third? People are getting tired of it, and Game Freak knows that. That's why they never came out with Pokémon Grey, and instead gave us Black 2 and White 2. It wasn't the same game at all--they were direct sequels that took place well into the future of the original Black and White. It was something new.

That's the only way they know they're going to be able to get people hype over new Pokémon rehashes--they have to take risks and try new things, or people are going to grow tired of their bullshit.

And what better way to derive hype than to have Pokémon Z be not only a direct sequel to X and Y, but have a whole bunch of new Pokémon to collect, as well? People would go fucking insane. And like I've been saying, it makes sense because of the dearth of new Pokémon this past generation.

Additionally, you know what else makes this so convincing to me?

Nobody is expecting this to happen.

Which is precisely why you should expect it to happen. Think about it--Pokémon has been doing nothing but bending expectations lately with X & Y. When Sylveon was leaked, people were wondering--what type is it? Normal? Bug? ...Poison? ...Maybe a new type? Fewer people were expecting it to be a brand new type than not, but it ended up being the case.

So, yeah--I'm expecting the unexpected here, and I'm very confident that I'm at least somewhat right. We'll see what happens.

TL;DR
I expect them to announce Z, while introducing the other "half" of Generation VI Pokémon.

I hope so, and they can adress a few things like Volcanion being hinted at in Lumiose City.

A return to Kalos would be cool, like how B/W2 had you start off in a completely new town and work your way from a different direction.
