RE: Pokemon X/Y Rumors
This. It seems this fandom forgets a lot that these games have to be designed and constructed in ways that young kids can comprehend. Plugging in a Link Cable? Easy. Trading Friend Codes? Easy. Using Mystery Gift? Easy. Not being able to trade or battle with certain people for no apparent reason because they're using Pokémon that your game card doesn't recognize and you haven't downloaded a compatibility patch? Inconvenient but logical for teens and adults, but downright confusing for kids who are young enough that data transfer basically seems like magic to them.
And let's face it, the fact that main-series Pokémon is switching to 3D battle models for the first time in late 2013 shows that the series isn't that interested in pushing the limits of the system.

RE: Pokemon X/Y Rumors
There is a problem when you're connecting to another player locally. Since it doesn't require you to connect to the internet, a error will occur if a patched game connects with a non-patched game.
Either way, are you suggesting that in order to battle someone online, they would have to either download the DLC Pokemon or download a patch that contains the DLC Pokemon's code? Even if it's a auto connect patch, it's terrible game design. It's like requiring everyone in a COD game to download a single gun to play multiplayer, which is funny because there's never been a DLC multiplayer weapon probably for that exact reason until recently and even then, you can't use that gun in campaign loadouts.
So, tl;dr: DLC Pokemon are practically impossible.

RE: Pokemon X/Y Rumors
Its not impossible, if the games read each others data to play, thats what will simply happen if a DLC game faces a non-DLC game. It will load the sprite in the systems RAM, along with its stats, and if it knows moves that are DLC, those would load too. Just like it would with 2 non-DLC games, it just needs a little data transfer (how much could a DLC mon need for data anyways? Maybe 2 MB at most?). Its actually alot easier than everyone is making it out to be. IF they did DLC, we could in theory, indefinitely expand the Pokedex with brand new Pokemon for years after its release. Another thing it would allow is expanding game areas, or change them, or adding a completely new area like the Sevii Islands or Torn World.scuba steveE said:

@bold: Yes I know and I don't need to say why Black Ops 2 needs to the patched regularly.
Wait, how did people get the gun without the DLC package?
Yes that's possible, but we're talking about the 3DS's online capabilities, which is a improvement over the DS's, but not by much. I would be afraid that it would make the loading time atrocious and it could cause severe lag. I'm not sure how much data it would take, but remember, we're talking about full 3D models, it will definitely take up more than 2 MB. You're making it sound easier than it is.

RE: Pokemon X/Y Rumors
Here's some more rumors to discuss. I think they're pretty interesting, and they talk about the newest release of Corocoro coming out on the 15th.

Whoa, that's a lot of stuff! Does anyone know how reliable are its sources?

That goes for any "leaks" and "rumors". Especially if they give more info than you can read in 10 seconds. I mean heck the games are more than half a year away
The only thing you can trust is
-corocoro scans posted as actual news in the middle of every month
-any updates to the official site.
Unless its either of those two, its fake.

RE: Pokemon X/Y Rumors
or is its from a reliable source (for example if Junichi Masuda tweets about it)
but seriously is there any other source of information because i remember when black and white were being released there were fakes that matched the real ones (for example http://pokebeach.com/2010/07/toys-reveal-a-new-pokemon or http://pokebeach.com/2010/07/preview-of-black-and-white-anime-new-pokemon-revealed ) and turns out they were real...BTW does anybody know where these were first leaked?

RE: Pokemon X/Y Rumors
Mewthree sounds way too impossible. Mew and Mewtwo have a unique story, adding another member more than 15 years later is quite improbable.
Plus, the movies don't really affect the game, except in the release of event-only Pokemon. But the movie is about Mewtwo and Genesect, not Mewthree.

RE: Pokemon X/Y Rumors
Mewtwo's second form Mewthree.
Being able to change their clothing but not the horrible names.
You're a gangster.
Putting Machoke's arms and Galvantula's eyes to Magikarp.
Really nonsense.
