Pokemon X and Y Hacker Discovers Three Secret, Unobtainable Pokemon

[loa]

I don't understand why anyone would care for legendaries.
They are completely uninteresting in online battles which is all you do after beating the game.
You don't raise them, you don't breed them, you just get them and what they have is all you'll ever get out of them.
No egg moves, locked nature and IVs. Boring as fuck.

Something like greninja which can literally be everything is a million times more interesting.

Just as horribly designed as the rest of the Pokemon circa Gen. 3.

Stay classy, Japan.

Man these new Pokemon games are making me feel old. Back in my day we didn't have mega evolutions and there was only 150 of those bastards to catch and our secret pokemon was just a big error.

And there were also countless glitches, issues with slow and quite unbalanced combat mechanics. Get in on the ferpect improvements now.

Yes, lets see...

Psychics were not weak to ghost type attacks, they were IMMUNE, and the one line of ghosts had a poison secondary typing, which was weak to Psychic attacks. Also, ghost type attacks was a physical attacking type, not a special.

Psychics were only weak to bug type pokemon, which was ok since bugs were extremely underpowered.

You could basically nuke the entire game if you had an Alakazam.

Spoiler: The sprite work until Yellow was pretty terrible.

You could easily catch them all if you used the Missingno glitch (128 master balls, anyone?)

Critical hits were based on your speed stat. Faster you are, more likely you can murder everything in your path.

Gen 1 Mewtwo is the single most power pokemon, ever. No, not Groudon, Not Kyorge, not even Arcues can compare with the pure destructive horror of that abomination.

Ahhhhh, those were the good ol' days. When you would literally run the floor with a Kadabra. "Kadabra Used PsyBeam! It Killed The Fuck Out Of The Enemy Pokémon!" And yeah, the only thing better than a Kadabra (that is if you didn't get an Alakazam since you had to trade to get it) would be my main man MewTwo himself. I played through the game six times (once on my red version and 5 times on my brother's blue version) just to get six copies of that fucker and make a team out of him.

All my schoolmates hated me. :3

You must of been an evil, EVIL child. SIX GEN1 MEWTWOS?

There is literally nothing that can fully counter Mewtwo. At best, you have a list of "things that can survive long enough to stun, sleep, freeze, or explode against Mewtwo before it can get two Amnesia's off," which is basically was limited to Starmie, Slowbro, and Chansey.

Yeah, and even if you managed to bring one of them down, there were five more waiting in line behind him like "Oh hai, Mark. Very funny story."

They're interesting for people who don't care about breeding and all that crazy behind the scenes stuff, and online battles. Some people are just happy getting their new shiny toy.

Hmm, looking at the pictures, that's very interesting. Latias is red, latios is blue, and this unused form is purple... maybe not mega evolution but... fusion?

That's certainly a possibility, though I think they're unfinished models anyway. Compare them to the other pictures: Those two "MEGA" evolution models look pretty damn boring, a LOT less visual fidelity and features on them.

So maybe each one was going to have a purple colour scheme (as suggested by your observation of the color equation), or maybe they just use different shades of purple while modeling.

But hey, they could always release a patch that replaces them with fully kitted out models

As a side note, I feel sorry for that poor pokemon. A level 10, facing a goddamn level 100 legendary? That poor little puppy is SCREWED.

This is pretty incredible, I just hope these Pokemon aren't going to be in some DLC or something, seeing as though Nintendo is becoming accustomed to the concept of downloadable content.

Nintendo frequently does real-world and online promotions giving away rare/unobtainable Pokemon every so often, and have been ever since the days of the GBA. I assume these were saved for those distribution events, but someone leaked the Pokemon. Pokemon like Genesect in gen 5 were in the code for Black and White but it was never officially given away until Black and White 2, so these new mons might not be shown off for another year or so by Nintendo.

Trololol. The best bit is when he called Game Freak's art designers "Japan".

As for my own opinion, it can be summarised with "Yeah. Whatevs."

They're legendaries, I don't find them interesting at all. Although, wouldn't it be kind of cool if Diancie was an evolution of Carbink? Carbink's all alone, poor little Forretress rehash. Still cute, though, and I've really embraced the fairy type.

It's unlikely that they would introduce an event only evolution. I do think they will be somewhat related though, along with the Anistar Sundial.
And I'm guessing Hoopa has something to do with either the message at the train station, the creepy elevator girl, or the scary house on route 14.

 

[emeraldrafael]

Is it just me or do Mega Latios and Latias look exactly the same?

I was wondering about that too, and im not really excited about it. i know latias and latios are pretty much twin pokemon, but this could have been their chance to make them their own and separate.

Yeah, I'm aware, in one of my "beta" versions of this post I had the phrase "I can dream..." to show that I was aware it's unlikely that it isn't some kind of legendary. Maybe I should have kept it in...

I like your avatar, by the way. Very Gen 5.

[WeepingAngels]

So, is it ok to discuss the hacking of video games on the Escapist now? How does one get to the source code of a game via legal means?

 

[daxterx2005]

So with the inclusion of these new mons and megas (If we count Megas as new mons) The grand total for this Gen is 751.
Seems fitting.

It's unlikely that they would introduce an event only evolution.

Many apologies for being so late, but I must point out that they already have introduced an event-only evolution: Mega Blaziken. Blazikenite is unobtainable through normal means. Once the Torchic event ends on January 15th, the only way to get one will be trading for it.

mega evolution doesn't count since they are more like a form change than an actual evolution.

I have to disagree with you, on Mega Evolutions. Their appearance changes, their stats are upgraded, some of them undergo type changes and even have new abilities. You can even view them in the Pokedex(they haven't their own spot, but you can). As far as I can tell, that's a whole evolution, right there. Mega Mewtwo Y was straight up banned from competitive Pokemon, simply because he's that powerful. Temporary as they are, I don't think one can simply say they don't count.

Like I said Mega evolutions do not count as a regular evolutions since they aren't a seperate pokemon in the evolution line and they do not get seperate pokedex entries. All of the effects of mega evolution you listed happen during regular form changes such as Melloetta using it's relic song to transform into it's step forme during battle, changing it's typing and stats around or when Shaymin Has the gracedia used on it so it changes into it's Sky forme.
I'm not doubting the the usefulness of mega evolutions or the power up's they give. I'm simply saying that they are not a proper evolution and are simply a from change. Otherwise we would've had mega evolution since gen III.
