Pokémon X and Y: They Finally Ran Out of Colors. Out Globally in October!
I'm not a fan of being cut off from content just because I don't live near a Gamestop. Shiny's I could live without, but Megas are kind of game changing, and I'm fully expecting new ones via events.

On one hand, I'm disappointed how they managed to screw up such a clean, iconic design for the last form. On the other hand, absolutely everything about that thing looks totally awesome from a mechanical standpoint.
I mean, Sacred Sword with that typing? That's frigging obscene. People will tolerate 70-accuracy Focus Blasts for that kind of coverage. I wonder how exactly the ability triggers?
It changes form. That look is likely after it uses a defensive move.

To be specific
Attack moves make it switch to Blade Forme. King's Shield, and potentially other defensive moves, make it shift to Shield Forme.

Yep. You can see it unsheathed with the shield to it's side in the screen showing his sprite icon.
So, I have a question. I am seriously considering picking up a 2DS and X. However, since I moved, the closest Gamestop is about 20 minutes away, so just not doable for the events and such. Is there any info on whether events are going to continue being primarily Gamestop things, or will just the internet be enough? Because not being able to get whatever new Megas they release or something is definitely going to bug me, and might be enough to put me off buying it completely.
So, at 28 I won't be going to Gamestop etc for events. It's a little far and I just can't. No judgement on anyone who does. I already have a 3DS XL so I'll be getting it since my cost to get into it is just the game price. From what I can tell from other people on the forums is that if you are already a fan then getting the game is a no brainer. If you're new but don't have and expensive barrier to entry, this is supposedly the best one in the series (wont' be confirmed for awhile) and an awesome time to get started. If you're new and it's going to take ~$200 to get into it, I couldn't tell you what to do, other than not getting a few special ones doesn't seem like it would break the experience. There are some pretty awesome games for the 3DS. So if you'll use it, it's definitely nice to have for commutes and travel.

His Blade Form isn't much better. The sword is the body and its holding the shield with one of its tassel things. I really liked when it was just kind of floating weaponry..whereas the third evolution turns it into more of a traditional pokemon.

I imagine they'll continue to be a mix of both store and wi-fi events but Pokemon fans can be pretty generous.
I've never been to a gamestop event (though I am going to pick up Giratina while I'm there saturday) but I got all my event legendaries from trades online. If you can't get one, theres a good chance someone else can give you one.

these are events where you have to be online or in a location at a certain time in order to catch certain pokemon?
just want to make sure I understand. I haven't played a game since blue and I'm probably gonna get one of these, just want to know what I might be missing so I can decide if I care.

Most of the store events are shinies, unique moves, etc. They've been better about making things available via wifi.
Much better than the old days of "go to in-person event or no Mew for you"

Theres a shiny Giratina event going on at Gamestop right now thats available until the 20th.
Shiny pokemon are extremely rare different colored versions of pokemon, collectors go crazy for them and usually events are the only way to get shiny legendary pokes. I believe they were introduced in Gold and Silver.
Hope Sylveon's dream world ability (if the dream world still exists by then) is something else, anything else. Cute Charm is the definition of underwhelming.

Oh god. Yeah, that's... awful. Give it intimidate, as in "beware, you too might end up like this".
Maybe it's because I'm staying up late, and thus grumpy, but it bothers me that I've seen people associate
Z-legendary with the Midgard-serpent. It's a Ground-type sitting in a cave, sharing a trio with Yggdrasil-creatures. The Midgard-serpent is found in the sea, as far away from the central tree as possible.

It embarrasses me how giddy I am for trainer customization.
Alright, since we're already on page 100, and no one else has volunteered, I'm going to write the OP for the next thread. Anything you'd like me to include?

Isn't that not true? I thought the serpent was constantly eating the roots of the tree and just wrapped around the world.

Nope, chilling at sea, wrapping world; sometimes spewing mythical venom at thunder-gods. The peckish one is Nidhogg.

Incidentally
I would absolute lose my shit over a Nidhogg-style legendary
He's more elemental and primal than the sons of Loki, it would make me lose my mind

Z-legendary is a subterranean, snakelike Dragon/Ground-type, with an ability that specifically hinders the two legendaries (stag and eagle) who live in the tree. The ability is super-narrowly focused on inconveniencing those two.
Is the digital download going to be available at midnight the day of? Or at least as early as gamestop opens? Considering changing my preorder into a nintendo card for the eshop to get the digital version instead of the cart. Any opinions on that? Can I even do that at gamestop? I called and the dude wasn't sure.

Assuming it uses the same nintendozone thing that animal crossing does, you should just be able to cheat and setup your router to look like a nintendozone. I used that to get stuff from best buy for animal crossing without having to to go to best buy.

That's kinda the spirit of pokemon, trading for stuff you can't get yourself

Damn. Special attack or defense would have been nice, with how many common dark, fighting, and dragon moves are physical.

I should join Team Flare.
Should it instead be Team Flair? I haven't heard much beyond the name.

Choice between frilly dress and beard is more vexing than X- and Y-version. What if change mind?

You know, the one where Ash discards any of his pokemon that are actually useful (except Piakchu).
