    I think this has been proven fake by Pokébeach... or some other site like that.


  • Registered Users Posts: 271 ✭✭Wobbuffet


    Except now Pokebeach seems to be changing their minds and leaning towards it being genuine. I'm sure we'll find out one way or another from Pokemon Smash tomorrow


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,485 ✭✭✭✭Banjo


    Hmmmm....Looks less like a pre-evo and more like a Manaphy/Phione relationship - as if the NewMew grew out of Mewtwo's penile "front-tail", hence it having the tail on the back of it's head. I'm going to go with Gamma-ray induced spontaneous asexual reproduction.

    Well giving a legendary a proper evolution/prevolution relationship would just seem wrong to me somehow.


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,158 ✭✭✭Arawn


    The dna splicers really open up a lot of stuff for legendaries just a thought. Also if it is a new oure mewtwo type it looks psychic/fight type

    That mewtwo looks more feminine than good old mewtwo we are used to. Maybe male/female.

    The altered genetics sound more promising though. Going by how mewtwo came into existance, maybe another villian has decided to try create an awesome pokemon.

    I hope its not an evolution, mewtwo is too badass to evolve


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,491 ✭✭✭looking_around


    but aren't they planning on bringing mewtwo in the next movie? makes sense that it's some 'alternate' form of mewtwo. Since the designers seem to be all about alternate forms lately (black&white 2) ~groans~
    ~opens up lookalike digimon~ Y_Y

    I know it's not confirmed yet, but even if that one is false, something similar is likely ):

    WHY NO EVOLVE?!

    Be careful what you wish for. That's the whole reason the incense thing exists: consistency. So if you bred a Snorlax in Gen II, you got Snorlax, because it wasn't holding Full Incense. Which didn't yet exist.

    The Incense thing used to drive me crazy, but at least in Gen V you can just buy them.

    GameFreak are very uptight about making sure the game stays consistent, insofar as when there is a/n (pre-)evolved form that didn't exist before, it's nearly always explained because we didn't have X item before. I can't think of a case where it wasn't, but I won't rule it out.

    Pikachu, Jynx, Electabuzz, Magmar, pretty much any that were introduced in Gen II. I'm fairly sure they didnt have to hold anything. Just a Pikachu and a Ditto produced a Pichu.

    I guess they'll just put that down to the whole breeding thing not being implemented. When you first went to that Mr. Pokemon guy in G/S you got the egg and it was a big deal wasn't it? I know it's flimsy reasoning, but it's probably the best we'll get.


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators, Music Moderators, Regional Midlands Moderators Posts: 24,126 Mod ✭✭✭✭Angron


    I think no. That artwork doesn't look like normal pokemon artwork, it looks kinda sloppy, and everything underneath that is clearly a joke.

    6 v 6 battles, every 5th encounter a Zubat, gain abilities by levelling, moveable level cap, and so on.

    Also, I won't take something from the cheez burger site as undeniable truth.

    Pokemon smash will reveal new X+ Y info this week :)

    I guess your right, anyone Japanese here?? :'(


  • Registered Users Posts: 271 ✭✭Wobbuffet


    It's confirmed. New Mewtwo

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,963 ✭✭✭Mr.Saturn


    So, Mewtwo's playing an androgynous parent in the new movie?


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators, Music Moderators, Regional Midlands Moderators Posts: 24,126 Mod ✭✭✭✭Angron


    Not a fan.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,491 ✭✭✭looking_around


    ditto angron, the new mewtwo is just, weird. Like his brain grew a tail XD

    It's supposed to be a new pokemon entirely,mewthree ? :/


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,963 ✭✭✭Mr.Saturn


    The DNA splicing idea makes sense. It could be a mixture of Mew and Mewtwo.

    If it disposes of the need for more 'legendaries', I'm all for it. Originally, The boon of the tag was that these creatures were somehow rare, but with the introduction of so many 'rare' monsters over the years, you could easily fill up a couple of boxes on a game's PC with'em. I feel it kinda defeats the purpose, all said.


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators, Music Moderators, Regional Midlands Moderators Posts: 24,126 Mod ✭✭✭✭Angron


    Yeah, that'd be a fine idea, it's just the look that I'm not overly fond of.

    I guess there wasn't a name released with the reveal then?

    Newtwo, Mewtoo or GuessMew are my picks.

    Of all Gen I Pokémon to give a new form (or something) to, they could have picked worse.

    Mewtwo at least makes sense since it was supposed to have been created artificially and then the experiment went wrong (or something). Guess they decided to have another go at it.

    I hope it's Mewthree.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,354 ✭✭✭Urizen


    ... I like it!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,963 ✭✭✭Mr.Saturn


    tumblr_ml07pfYHvv1rw2cyro1_1280.png

    Well, there we are.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,354 ✭✭✭Urizen


    Those pictures don't appear to match, so I'll doubt it until further notice. But I would like an Absol evo, even though Absol is epic even without one. Then I could give it an Eviolite and mitigate it's disgusting defences.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,190 ✭✭✭✭IvySlayer


    This new form thing is interesting, do all pokemon get a form or something? Drowzee gets a pre-evo!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 11,835 ✭✭✭✭cloud493


    No only select ones. Legendaries and the like. Deoxys has like 5 formes doesn't it? 4?


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators, Music Moderators, Regional Midlands Moderators Posts: 24,126 Mod ✭✭✭✭Angron


    Deoxys has normal, attack, defence, and speed I believe.

    The Absol evo is a fake. Japanese names have a maximum of 5 characters, that one's name has six. Fake.


  • Registered Users Posts: 6 AmmithakaRuth


    A 3rd gen remake would be CLASS.
    But, say, 25€ on X+Y


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,485 ✭✭✭✭Banjo


    An Absol evolution is not acceptable unless it turns into Venger from the D&D cartoon.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,963 ✭✭✭Mr.Saturn


    Well, it's definitely a new form of Mewtwo, and not a new Pokemon as previously speculated.



  • Registered Users Posts: 3,158 ✭✭✭Arawn


    mother ****er went super saiyan!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,491 ✭✭✭looking_around


    yeah, pokemon is turning into form madness. I actually don't like all the form changes and stuff lately. I'd rather some gender based evolutions, so we don't have transgender pokemon ;>.>

    More info 19th May.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,478 ✭✭✭✭gnfnrhead


    I know Pokemon is one of the biggest games for Nintendo so with that in mind am I right in guessing the 3DS wont be coming down in price any time soon? I doubt a 3D ROM will work on the PC so I'd have to buy it to try it but that means buying the actual system too. Any chance of it working on the DS or is it definitely only 3DS?


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators, Music Moderators, Regional Midlands Moderators Posts: 24,126 Mod ✭✭✭✭Angron


    3DS only I'm afraid. I had to save up for and buy a 3DS myself.

    Damn. Thanks though. It's hard to justify the price for just one game. Saying that, I did buy the GB, GBC and the DS specifically for Pokemon games. Dont think I've got a non Pokemon game since Gold and Silver came out :o

    We'll see when it comes out, hopefully it either drops in price or they do a package deal. :D


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators, Music Moderators, Regional Midlands Moderators Posts: 24,126 Mod ✭✭✭✭Angron


    I know that feeling, I've only ever had the Nintendo handhelds to play Pokemon games too :pac: I really didn't want this one to be 3DS only, I'd been hoping to get a Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald remake before they made the leap to 3D.


    Still, I can't complain too much, we got a decent amount of games for the DS, so hopefully we'll get loads for the 3DS too :D

    The 3ds is currently going through something of a renaissance with an abundance of quality releases in the last couple of months (fire Emblem, Luigi's Mansion, Monster hunter to name but a few) joining an already impressive catalogue (sm3dl, mk7, re:r, doa:d and many other fine acronyms!), with more on the way - pokémon, Zelda, animal crossing. It's a good time to make the switch. The price has already come down, with the Italian amazon site shipping XLs for under 150. Join us!

    Not too sure about the mounts(can`t I rent a car like the one you run past) but that Ivy covered Goat is such a cool design. I was quietly impressed by the environment in the video too, was expecting worse tbh.
    Now Ninty hurry up and show us the 3DSXL Bundle you`ll be releasing for this.

    Don't forget, the player is only 10 or so.

    you get to actually sit down now? o0 now why would you bother with that.

    Looking good though actually, making really consider a 3ds >.>


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,478 ✭✭✭✭gnfnrhead

    I was wondering the same. Surely the resources could be used better than that? Same with rotating the camera, it doesnt need to be done. Use those resources for something actually useful.

    The match animations look fairly good tho.

    I imagine sitting beside certain people at certain times can trigger convo's which lead on to stuff. Otherwise meh
