Gamers fond of the beloved Pokemon franchise have been bursting at the seams in anticipation of the upcoming pair of Pocket Monster titles. Yes, fans of Pokemon X and Pokemon Y
are understandably excited for the eventual release of both games later
this year, but there hasn’t been much new information released on the
games at all.
Fortunately, trainers learned yesterday that news on the games were scheduled to hit very soon, but no one thought that scans from Japanese gaming magazine CoroCoro, containing new details on Pokemon X and Y, would emerge in such a short time span.
The latest CoroCoro is packed with new details about the forthcoming Pokemon games, and it shows off four never before seen monsters that’ll be making their debut in X and Y. Not too much is known about the new creatures, not even their English names, but their stats and types have been clarified by Game Freak in the publication.
Other than the latest additions to the Pokedex, the name of the new
region in which both games take place was finally given its official
Japanese title. Known as the Karos Region, the entire area has drawn
most of its influence from France, which explains why there was an
Eiffel Tower-looking structure that appeared in the games’ reveal trailer.
Players will also, at long last, be able to alter their trainers’ look
slightly with options to select the avatar’s skin tone and hair color;
marking another first for the series.
Furthermore, the previously mentioned Gogoat can also be rode around
by players – which may allude to the removal of bikes in favor of riding
actual Pokemon this time around. Gogoat can also learn a special move
known as ‘Horn Leech’, while Elikiteru can learn ‘Parabola Charge’ (an
attack that damages opponents and restores the health of the
user), Yayakoma can learn ‘Flame Charge’, and Yancham can learn ‘Parting
Remark’ (a move that lowers the stats of a hostile monster).
Eagle-eyed readers may have noticed that, accompanying the heaps of new information, the official box art for Pokemon X and Y can be seen in one of the scans. The boxes prominently display the legendary Xerneas and Yveltal
(the two expected cover stars), and they do a rather snazzy job of
spicing up what was offered on the traditional covers that the series
has had.
Pokemon X and Y look to be coming along nicely
judging by the new screenshots. That said, it would be nice to get some
fresh footage of the games actually running on the 3DS rather than more
character art, but more new details on the games are definitely better
than nothing. More information should be arriving next week after a new
episode of Pokemon Smash airs in Japan, so be ready for additional information – and maybe even English names for the new pokes.
