Here's where I am confused. That mysterious source that sent WPM all that info...That source has been right about everything so far, except he said you would have 2 rivals- One friendly, one competitive. According to this info, we have 4 rivals?

It didn't say they were rivals; it said they are friends of your character. Whether or not they are actual rival characters is yet to be seen.
 
We can't really say they are our rivals. For what we know now, they are just our group of friends. If two of them were to be our rivals though, I would guess Serena/Calem and Trevor.

Exactly. And by the way, not sure if it's really important but Trevor and Tierno are always together in the snapshots, like partners or something.
 
Love Litleo and its name! But man Talonflame, Scatterbug, Gogoat its just lame to put 2 words together. But hey we‘re used to Seel, Grimer, Muk, Persian, Jynx... Also Ash fought a bunch ofSpearows and caught a horde of Tauros in the first gen. Ash a boy ahead of his time
 
I have noticed that the new move Noble Roar not only does lower the target's attack, but also the Special Attack. I saw it in the Pokemon section of pokemonxy.com

Also, I was wondering... Now that battles are fully animated, and obviously 3D, how are longer-lasting moves, like Barrier and Light Screen, and conditions like paralysis or poisoning going to work out visually? Will the moves be visible those turns? Will the status conditions be visually noticeable? I hope so, it would be awesome (lol, it sounds cruel to see my pokemon burning throughout the battle), but it hasn't been asked by people, neither it has been revealed... What do you think?

P.S. Sorry for my bad English skills.

Hmm idk about status alignments but weather conditions might be visible throughout the battle and maybe the seasons too if they will be reimplemented (notice the leaves blowing in the wing on the battle field).

which means that either the source got carried away, meaning they got some real info and then made up some more through guessing. There also another theory, maybe sana does not really battle you and maybe they didn't know the character you didn't choose would be your main rival, maybe the source thought that they would be like dawn and just be the professors assistant or just a neighbor.

Here is what I think, there will be no rivals. All five trainers are friends and will travel together. Each trainer has there own separate goal. The only character that has a similar goal to us is the male/female character we don't pick. I believe that yvonne and xavier don't see each other as rivals, but rather friendly sparring partners who can raise there Pokemon levels to achieve their dreams. In fact, the game never says that xavier/yvonne are trying to become Pokemon champions or Pokemon masters. It simply said that they want to become strong trainers. This theory also falls in line with what they said at E3,"There are characters that occupy the rival position, but we want the games to be about having fun with a bunch of people. There might be multiple rivals". I think he meant that last part to be about your own perception of the game. Meaning, these characters can be rivals if you choose to view them that way. I think the only antagonists will be the evil Pokemon organizations, in fact, even the gym leaders seem overly friendly and generally want to be defeated by us so we can achieve our goals.

Sorry, posted my theory twice by accident lol

Note that the source played an early version of the game. Things could have changed since then.
 
I hope these rivals are better than the ones in Black and White. I got annoyed whenever my rival showed up instead of getting excited for it. >_>

That trailer was just incredible though! *^*
 
The rivals look really cool. Seeing Tierno in one of the screenshots makes me believe that we will actually see him dance in game (which seems sooo cool).
My main concern with this group of rivals is how the starters will be distributed... Will two of them already have a Pokemon of their own? It is possible that one of them starts with an Eevee, but otherwise, this situation is odd, but incredibly exciting.

Tierno is actually my favorite character!, I love the fact that he is heavy set because it is more realistic and includes everyone. Characters with different skin tones, weights and hair styles; how great. Not only this, but he is dancer, showing that he breaks the stereotype and assumptions that people would draw about him. He has a passion, he's strong, he's kind and not afraid to be himself. I dare say, he is the most realistic fully developed character. I believe yvonne(Serena) and Trevor will already have their own Pokemon.

easy. you get one starter, the other player characters the second, and one of these 3 friends the third. the rest will either end up doing contest or give up and do idk what, or travel like a duo or who knows what. probably having some interesting non-starter 3 stages Pokémon ala Wally&Ralts in RSE, or some double battle thing (double battle rivals, thatd be cool)...maybe have two "Ralts"-like Pokémon that are version exclusives as their main poke, ala Gothita&Solosis (but with different types)
 
Or they could be getting Pokemon completely different from the 3 starters.
 
If the bit about Kanto starters is true...thatd be 6 starters. 5 people.

You get gen6 starter
other gender gets gen6 starter
A gets gen6 starter
B gets gen1 starter
C gets gen1 starter

1 Kanto starter left. after some requirement is met, Id assume like beating the league before the other 4 (set by story), some postgame thing, or dex-related, you'd get the extra leftover starter.

This way, the choice would already be determined by your first starter tho probably heheheh.
 
Wow These games are going to be really cool Is the merging or 5th gen going to happen with these games or did they change that idea? I heard somewhere they were going to merge 5th gen with 6th gen but have not heard anything else since. If this is true are we going to be able to trade between 5th gen and 6th gen freely? In past gens we always had to migrate but there was no way to trade backwards. If this happens will they EVER make it so we can trade from 5th gen to 6th gen and vise verse? Thanks XD.:)
