XY List of fakes and unconfirmed news about Pokemon X and Y

[Their Goominess]

some interesting unconfirmed news

The person who leaked the entire B/W Pokedex has 'confirmed' there will be a Fairy type, with Sylveon and Xerneas being 2 of them. He also mentioned that there will be some old Pokemon being retyped as Fairy types (I think he specifically mentioned Clefairy and Togepi).

This actually sounds pretty plausible, if it turns out to be true. There's been a lot of secrecy with the Gen.6 news (we had like a 2 month break from Sylveon to Newtwo) and a new type could potentially be the reason behind this. I can imagine that they'll tell us to specifically check in for a worldwide announcement (hopefully sometime in may) and all will be revealed then. (along with another new Fairy type and a Fairy type move to go with it)

The sole reason I'm acknowleging this is because the person who 'confirmed' it was the one to leak the Gen.5 Dex. After he revealed all the Pokedex for Gen.5, it seems silly not to completely ignore something he says. Of course I'm taking this with a pinch of salt, it would be silly not to do that either.

That guy also said Newtwo was a new forme of Mewtwo back when everyone thought it was a new Pokemon.

You should probably take away the "might" from the things that might be true, as the new Mewtwo form is confirmed.

I honestly cannot see Xerneas being a "fairy" type at all. It's a glowing black-and-blue DNA deer thing, not a pixie. Also, it would be VERY hard for players to adopt to a new type, the types are balanced as is, a new type would really make the types unstable. I am pretty sure that Xern will be Psy/Elec or Psy/Steel. As for Mewtwo, a little more than half of the fanbase thought it was a new form, the rest thought it was "Mewthree" or whatever. He just got a lucky guess. I still declare the "fairy" type as FAKE.

 

[Their Goominess]

For Xerneas being a fairy, it could easily work - it could be a mythical 'faerie king' of sorts.
Also, some types have like no balance on them (see: Ice and Poison).
I wouldn't declare it as fake, I'm just taking it with a pinch of salt. After all, this is the giy who leaked all of the Black and White Dex.

Who is this guy anyway? Also, this generation is about DNA and genetics, not magic and faeries. Instead of new types, I think that "broken" types need to be fixed instead of adding a new, also broken type. I still don't see how a deer with double helixs for antlers and a reflective, metallic coat could be a king (or queen) of fairies.

That guy you referred to leaked most of black/white pokedex before its release date. That's why people believes him and he's might be right about fairy type.

oh he's not really anyone, I mean all he did was leak the entire Black and White Pokedex, he's obviously a fake. Oh and adding on to that, he said that Newtwo was a forme of Mewtwo, not a new Pokemon. Those were both obviously just flukes, of course he's got no credibilty.

Black and White were about Truth and Ideals, not Fire and Electricity. For all we know, Xerneas could be a legendary fairy king who has some kind of unique DNA (same for Yveltal but being the sky's queen), and the evil team want to experiment on them to find out about their DNA.

A new type (with a couple of readjustments with existing types) could easily balance the type chart out.

Xerneas looks quite majestic, and has a king-like quality to himself (random brainwave, could Xerneas and Yveltal be the first gender-specific version mascots, what with the X/Y chromosome thing going on?). He almost reminds me of the stag from Snow White and the Huntsman, who iirc was also a fairy king of sorts.

edit: hypothetical scenario time! Imagine that Pokemon announce there will be a huge announcement regarding Sylveon. Would you think that it was built up, with this huge announcement, only to find out that Sylvie will be a plain old Flying type, after months of speculation? Or would you go to the more likely theory, that Sylveon will be a new type and be the first Fairy type ever revealed? I know which one I'd go for.
Sylveon just has no obvious elemental association, yet has a very fairy-like look. (you could argue the same for Clefairy etc). But take into account all of its names in all languages relate to faries/sprites etc. There's something big they're keeping under wraps with Sylveon, I can feel it. Plus, an Eeveelution would be the perfect candidate for a new type.

Fairies don't neccesarily have to be about those cutesy Tinkerbell-esque fairies in movies. I'd hope that the type would be more about Faeries seen in folklore; small forest nymphs who would get someone lost in a forest and watch them being scared and eventually collapsing from tiredness, then to move them deeper in the forest to confuse them even more, just for the fun of it. Some of them would even go as far as killing a human just to get a laugh. I'm hoping we'd get a Fairy/Dark who'd have a typical cutesy appearance, but in reality was the most evil being ever.

He almost reminds me of the stag from Snow White and the Huntsman, who iirc was also a fairy king of sorts.

Judging by their names and what version they belong to, I feel that if Xerneas and Yveltal have genders, Xerneas will be female (it represents the X chromosome, which females have 2 of, it also looks slightly feminine) and Yveltal male (it represents the Y chromosome, which is exclusive to males) and what I mean is who leaked the BW pokedex, where did he post it? Does he work for Gamefreak or know someone who does? Or is he just a very lucky guesser? Also, what stag from Snow White? I don't remember seeing one, in any version.

 

[Their Goominess]

Xerneas has always had some kind of regal, king-like quality to me, and has always just looked like a male to me.
Same with Yveltal; she just looks like a rough, strong fighter female to me. Also, Yveltal just sounds like a feminine name to me.
The leaker of the BW Pokedex was called Hirobyte, iirc. I think he claims to have links to GF, but not 100% sure on that.
The stag from SWatH I'm thinking of is this one

Spoiler

I know it has like, no physical qualities similar to Xerneas, but it's very majestic and looks sacred, like Xern. It's also in a similar place, but that doesn't really matter.

But Xerneas being a Faerie king aside, because we're getting nowhere with that.

There's definitely a reason Sylveon's type is being kept secret. It isn't like any other Eeveelutions. Visually, every Eeveelution just screams their type. It's the same with naming. All Eeveelutions have had names that directly relate to their type (you could argue that Umbreon being from umbra would imply it's a Ghost type) Currently, Sylveon just doesn't match any type there is (except from Normal). Another thing is the power it used in the trailer, making the sky go all pretty and all. The only type that might be able to do that currently would be Psychic (which would be extremely redundant and will not happen with Sylveon). It could be a fairy power, making those kind of things happening. Right now, the one thing I look at Sylveon and think that it represents a Fairy more than anything, what with its pink colouring and fairy like appearance. Sylveon being a Fairy type is also supported by all its names:
Sylveon = sylph (obviously could point to other types), a spirit of the air iirc.
Feelinara = Fee is fairy in German.
Ninfia/Nymphia = nymph, fairy like beings.
When you look at it, Sylveon looks like an obvious candidate for a Fairy type. Not only is it different from the other Eeveelutions in that it's type isn't immediately recognizable, all of it's names point to fairies, spirits etc. Plus, there is undeniably something very interesting/big that they are using Sylveon to market. A new type could easily be this.
That is why I personally believe that a Fairy type has a chance of happening.

tl;dr Sylveon seems like an obvious candidate for a Fairy type due to it's naming, design and secrecy about its type.

Hirobyte may have a good track record, but most of the time companies are not very kind to leakers, they could of given him false info to ruin his reputation so people won't believe him anymore. I couldn't see why Gamefreak would allow this. The reason that Gamefreak/Nintendo don't just say what type Sylveon/Xerneas/Yveltal is is to build hype. It's a marketing technique. Surprises are a lot more fun than just blurting out info at random. Also, even if there is a new type, it still seems too early for a leak of this degree, the BW dex was leaked a month before the games officially came out. It is still about 5 months before the games come out.

First off, the types are not balanced as is and if anything it would make the types more stable. Ice, Grass, Rock, Bug and to an extent Flying are generally very weak in comparison to the other types. Adding a new type may help to make some of the under-powered types a little more relevant.

 

[DorianBlack]

Still taking it all with a huge pile of salt. Considering Xerneas's enigmatically colorful horns and Sylveon's psychedelic abilities shown in the newest trailer, it doesn't seem like a stretch to me for them to share a new type, but it's not exactly a no-brainer either. Sylveon's probably hiding something with regard to type, but we should all have learned our lesson about that kind of speculation after everybody and their mother though that Zekrom would be Dark-type and Reshiram would be Light-type.

And are people seriously still insisting that just because there's a DNA strand in the Japanese logo, EVERYTHING must be linked to DNA/genetics in some way? Cool your jets and stop pretending you know things that you're really only guessing at like everyone else.

Hirobyte may have just been set up, but it's still a good idea to take what he said as maybe-being true. After he leaked the whole B/W Dex, it seems that the Fairy type could happen. I'm still taking it with a pinch of salt, because right now, it's only a rumour. It could happen, or it could not.
For all we know Pokemon could be planning to reveal the Fairy type in June, or September, or maybe even next month.
For Xerneas and Yveltal's types, I get what you're saying. Legendary types are generally kept quiet about for a while after the legendaries are first revealed. iirc it was several months before Reshi/Zeki's types were revealed.

But there's several major factors you have to consider with Sylveon.
-It doesn't scream it's type like every other Eeveelution does. Sure, those scarves look like Skyla's attire, but that's like saying that if an Eeveelution wore a big cowboy hat it would be a Ground type.
-It's naming. If Sylveon was a Flying type, why not name it something like 'Cloudeon'? Every name it has in every language points to fairies. You could argue that Eeveelutions aren't named immediately after their type, similar to how Espeon uses ESP in it's name, rather than being called Psycheon or something. But only Sylveon's english name could possible correlate to being a Flying type.
-If it was a Flying type, why not just say that from the beginning? It's soon going to be 3 months since Sylveon was revealed. There's definitely a reason that it's type is being kept quiet about.
-It's abilities in the trailer. The only types that could possibly do that kind of thing are Psychic and Ghost. Psychic is already taken, and Sylveon doesn't look remotely supernatural or ghostly in any way, shape or form. It also looks like an illusion a fairy could conjure up.
-An Eeveelution would be the perfect Pokemon to announce a new type with.

And then, possibly the biggest factor out of everything:
There's definitely something big that's going to happen in X/Y. I can smell it. A lot of the news has also been very dry, we only have the starters, the legendaries, Sylveon and Newtwo. Just those 7 revelations, since the game was announced in January. Plus the starters and legendaries were revealed when the game was, so Sylveon and Newtwo have been the most news since January. A new type would be perfect to announce, what with the lack of news.

 

[m7mad133]

i get why they dont reveal the legendarys types
but why sylveon? and why would they give one mascot a new type and not the other?
also mewtwo's new forme doesnt have a name,type or method of changing its forme
im hoping they'll reveal something huge in may and hopefully they start revealing things monthly until September then they start revealing weekly
also who is this person who revealed all the pokemon a month before the game was out? i remember pokexperto leaked them a week before they were released on twitter

 

[pokemon46]

OMG that is so fake someone photoshoped it.

 

[Their Goominess]

The only reason Yveltal wouldn't have a new type is that it is clearly a Dark/Flying or Fighting/Flying.
iirc Mewtwo's new forme was mentioned as being its 'Awakened forme' on pokemon.jp, but I'm not really sure on that.
It's type is obviously Psychic, because original Mewtwo was Psychic, but a dual type Psychic/Fairy just doesn't seem right. My guesses on Mewtwo's new forme are: it will officially be called Awakened Forme Mewtwo, and will be a pure Psychic type, with stat improvements/readjustments.
I agree with you completely on revelations from X/Y, with a huge *fairy type?* announcement in May, and then monthly news.
The person who leaked the B/W dex was called Hirobyte, but Pokexperto may have done it as well (I don't actually know if they're the same person)
