If you're talking about me, then you obviously don't realize that some of Smogon's on-site RNG guides were written by me.

They said there would be no balance hotfixes and that they wanted the games to be complete adventures, but that doesn't mean they aren't considering the possibility.
As far as legendaries and number of Pokemon are concerned, they said that they were very aware that the Pokedex was beginning to get prohibitively large and were therefore going to focus on reacquainting us with older Pokemon this generation. I think they've done an admirable job of it.
Couldn't agree more, it got old after the 4th gen. I really hope that the storylines are separate this time around. The legendary itself as the antagonist might be interesting.
Personally I've never liked mascot trios and preferred it when they were singular/dual...
I mean there are just two many trios in general. Gen 5 had a trio of trios. And that's just legendary trios...

On the topic of the legendary trio.
There are three blank spaces RIGHT before Xerneas, Yveltal, and Zygarde, which is pretty much exactly where another legendary trio would fit. Don't give up hope yet.
Just to make sure you aren't confused.. But you do know that X and Y are for 3DS/3DS XL/2DS and not regular DS, right?
I don't want you to go and buy the wrong system or something.
Pokémon has DLC since Red and Blue. It's usually called mystery gift, Event Itens, event pokémon. Yes, we'll have DLC. We won't have PAID DLCs. Oh, wait, we will have serial codes if we BUY the game on certain stores. On fifty gen, on japanese and Korean Global link, we could get many pokémon by Buying many kinds of items. Bread, Magazines, Books, TCG. We have to pay for downloadable content last generation. they just don't want to say that ugly name, but they already did it. I have a friend that bought 2 japanese official walk through just to have the official torchic with speedboost.
Didn't we fill in every space on the national dex between Chespin and Zygarde? I want to believe I'm just
Personally, the legendary trio is what I'm always most looking forward to since it contains some of my favorite pokemon, like the birds, beasts, and musketeers. I never liked the Regis or the pixies, and the genies I'm okay with, but I feel like it's one of the traditions in the pokemon series, right up there with the early birds, early bugs, the ~680 legendaries, the 600 late game 3 stagers, etc. etc.
I believe all previous games do not show you spaces in the dex past the last Pokemon you have seen, so there could be any number of additional Pokemon past the cover legends. Definitely some event ones, but there could always be others that just have not been found yet.
edit: for reference, there were pokemon post Palkia in 4th gen, and 5 pokemon after Zekrom in 5th gen. One was Landorus, which was oddly not with the rest of its trio. You never know how they will do things here as they haven't even been consistent at where they put the third main legend.

We did. If those three spaces before Xerneas are a legendary trio, they aren't likely to be a new one.
But there's no room in the NATIONAL Dex for new Pokemon. Any of those spaces missing from the regional dexes will most likely be OLD Pokemon. Unless they are weird as hell and place a Legendary Trio after the title Legends in the National dex. Which is unlikely.
Odds are the 3 gaps in the mountain dex that are 3 Pokemon long are the missing psuedo-Legendaries. Dragonite, Metagross, and Salamence. Tyranitar, Garchomp, and Hydreigon are already in there.
Sorry if this is a dumb question. I know we wont be able to use poketransfer until december 27th...but will we be able to use say poke gen to trade ourselves pokemon that are confirmed to be present in the game for example a bulbasaur or gible? Im not sure how long it took pokegen to update for 6th gen and am not a technical genius so i was wondering if there will be anyway to get pokemon with good IVs
Those are most likely the legendary birds. Otherwise, just a three-stage evolutionary line in Victory Road with a low enogh encounter rate that the leakers didn't run into it. The end of the National Dex thus far is:
#714 Noibat
#715 Noivern
#716 Xerneas
#717 Yveltal
#718 Zygarde
Fifteen years of precedence says there's EVERY reason to believe there won't be a trio after it. It makes no sense for them to appear BEFORE the title Legendaries in the Regional Dex and AFTER them in the National Dex. Not to mention there hasn't been any sign of them in game, even so much as a hint from an NPC. At this point we're most likely limited to maybe one other Legend with an obscure condition to find, and Event Legends.
Edit: The birds only appear post game, most likely they're not in the regional dex at all. @ the guy above me. (I still think it's one of the missing previous gen psuedo-legends.)
Edit 2: Okay so weird shit has happened before! But still.

I've really been warming up to the idea of few new pokemon and few legendaries, actually.
It allow us to focus more on the past few generations, instead of just burying us in an overload of new information. I mean, there's like countless team formations, and I'm sure very few people have indeed raised all pokemon species at some point in their lives, so there's plenty of room for exploration still.

I edited this in above, but its worth repeating: In the national Dex, the order from 641 to 646 is Tornadus, Thundurus, Reshiram, Zekrom, Landorus, Kyurem. A very odd order. No real reason to suspect they won't do odd things this time too.
We had Victini before the starters in Gen V, and it's possible (unlikely, but still possible) that there may have a legendary duo/trio/harem after the XYZ legends. I'm neutral towards new legends, but as long as one is Poison-type I'm happy.
My only real disappointment is the lack of a lower legend or pseudo-legend Fairy...
I don't think we can rule out anything at this point. They definitely aren't keeping with tradition, and I'm liking it.
...Legendary Harem? O.o
Oh yeah, missed this. Just gonna agree with jas there, and say that they're still likely to do odd things. Like place them after Zygarde! I mean, anything goes right now. The fairy type itself shows they aren't planning on sticking to tradition.
This. I love new Pokemon as much as anybody, but the idea of having 1000 total Pokemon in the future seems too way overwhelming. Plus, having fewer new Pokemon in a generation makes each one of them
