So SA's 'E3Keynote' is at it again.

("Key", heh)

Anyway, he's trying out the GTS this time. Interface looks about the same.

Okay, so I've been able to connect to the internet. There's a list of passerby's on my game now - I did not street pass with these people. There's an awful lot of Italian and Japanese in here. One, in particular, named Lukémon stated "Punishment is coming" ahhhhhhhhh
 
so...'kelfti' is greek for thief
and 'clef' is french for key.

...game freak, since when did you get so clever?
I don't know about you, but I think Arcanine is pretty cool. Arcane + Canine for the Legendary Pokemon that looks like a dog. It's not as cultural as Klefki, but it's still a good pun. Girafarig is also a little genius since it's a two-headed Pokemon with a palindrome as a name.

There are lots of really clever names throughout all gens. Not everything is Sandshrew or Pidgey level.
 
One of the spoilers wrote some tidbits about his/her experience and gameplay so far. I really REALLY like the Megadactyl... glad he/she talks about it:

Note: Mentions that Pokemon cannot megaevolve until the third gym badge.

(per his/her post):
MegaAerodactyl
Very early, before second badge. I think. You need Rock Smash, but the area it's in is definitely pre-second badge.

Here she be: http://i.imgur.com/9TMGo6l.jpg

Spread (Timid nature): http://i.imgur.com/2CSqoD2.jpg

Found: Last room of Glittering Cave, the Old Amber is found in a rock that can be Rock Smashed. Return it to Ambrette Town to restore the Fossil, then one of the scientists in the lab will give you an Aerodactylite.

EDIT: Sorry if this info was posted earlier.

Could you give me a link to what they wrote?

I've not been able to find any sources on the websites that have been showing leaks and such (like this one).

The source is on SomethingAwful, so even if you had a link, you would not be able to see it unless you're a paid user.

Fortunately there are some people "on the inside" at SA feeding us hungry, info-starved peeps.

Here's a transcript from the q/a:

SA said:
Where's the daycare?
SA: Pretty early, it’s before even the second badge.

On new Pokemon and variety
SA: I'm kinda disappointed with the lack of new Pokemon throughout the basic progression of the game (and a lot of the ones I've encountered are lame: i.e. Carbink) but if you can get over that there's no reason to prefer the older gens over this one. The quality of life features are the best in the series. Based on what I've seen so far, anyway. Maybe the postgame will turn out to be not great but I have no way of knowing that yet.


One nice thing is that there's a huge variety of Pokemon to catch as you go. There's no Zubat or Geodude-like droughts to be had at all. I have never been hard up for type coverage (except a weird lack of Ground types early on) and any two random players are certain to have wildly varying team choices. Unless you want to use nothing but new Pokemon in which case you'd be pretty shoehorned.
....
Oh yeah, I guess I should mention that despite the apparent lack of new Pokemon, Mega Evolutions are still dope and exciting! Too bad I picked Venusaur...”

Friend characters
SA: Yeah, they don't leave you alone. Story-wise you're actually travelling as a group. You fight your rival (ie the person who took your starter's weakness) all the time.

Pokedex Habitat List
SA: I can't seem to find it. I didn't play BW2 so I'm not sure how it used to work.

Mega Stones
SA: I've only ever got them from NPCs. Venusaurite et. al come with your Kanto starter, Lucarionite comes as part of the story, and I had to go out of my way for Ampharosite.
...
Also a guy there offered to sell me Charizardite Y for 500k pokebucks... do you not get it if you chose Charmander as your Kanto starter?

Pangoro
SA: I hate to relegate him to the task, but Pangoro is a good HM slave. Surf, Rock Smash, Strength, and Cut.

Is that a Grass gym and does it include the vine swinging?
SA: Yeah it was about vine swingin’

Camera during battles
SA: It randomly cycles through a bunch of preset cinematic pans and zooms. It's made taking pictures a bit of a pain, heh.

Relaxed Tyrantrum: http://i.imgur.com/fXRmlWv.jpg

Does a Mega stay Mega when it switches in?
SA: Yeah. Further, there is no way to de-Mega Evolve.

What's the music and 1:04? and New Pokemon
SA: Gym leader battles...I just had a new Pokemon name mentioned to me by an NPC but I haven't seen it yet: Sliggoo”

Doublade
SA: Heh, Doublade learns Power Trick. How about that Defense now?

Evolution Stones
SA: Someone asked earlier if you could buy evolution stones. There is a store in Lumiose City that sells Fire, Leaf and Water Stones, at least.

Gym Leader Teams
SA: Uh, wow. I'm searching my brain but I really can't remember. Here are some unhelpful answers?

3rd gym: Fighting types, Hawlucha was in there I think.
4th gym: Grass types, Weepinbell for sure. I forgot the others...
5th gym: Literally just did this one. Emolga, Magneton, Heliolisk.”

MegaAerodactyl
SA: Very early, before second badge. I think. You need Rock Smash, but the area it's in is definitely pre-second badge.

...
Note that you can't Mega Evolve until after the third badge.

Flying Press
SA: And I tested Flying Press on a pure Rock-type (Nosepass). It was neutrally effective.

Mega Evolution and the Game
SA: This game has been really piss-easy so far even ignoring Mega Evolution.” “Nope. The animation takes a while though so I don't always do it.

Exp. Share:
SA: Playing with it on? Yes.
Leveling newly caught Pokemon? Pretty damn easy with the new exp. share!
 
Betting on 80/70/50/x/100/100.

Such wasted potential on that Defense.
Idk, depending on how much you invest it could be the equivelant of 100 base def, or something much higher. If my calculations are correct, with maximum EVs his defense is the equivelant of base 150 with max investment. That's huge.

Still, plenty of phyiscal moves don't make contact. Like Earthquake.
It doesn't say contact moves though iirc; the ability specifies physical attacks. Compare Static, which specifies contact moves.
 
Also a guy there offered to sell me Charizardite Y for 500k pokebucks... do you not get it if you chose Charmander as your Kanto starter?
There is probably a chance that the weakness of the Kanto starter you choose (e.g. in this case charmander because of bulbasaur) is the one you buy later in the game. It wouldn't make much sense for them if said character only sold Charizardite every time. This could also mean that the starters may be possible to get as you progress through the game or it wouldn't make much sense to give away Mega stones for Pokemon you can't get. Then again... it is GameFreak.
 
Alrighty time to post! Even though I've been following all 1000+ posts
Now Klefki is a really punny case.
Klef is a pun on clef. Meaning key in French.
Ki is a corruption or play on words of/for key.
Klefti is also Greek for the word thief
(Alternatively, it is also both a lock and a key, which represents another Greek concept, Alpha and Omega. Klefki is the beginning and the end of your winning streak)
That pokemon steals keys.
It's perfect. Well done GF.
This Pokemon will become my main in OU.
Think I'll name it Ereptor.
Yeah, that has a nice ring to it.
Just like Klefki

Trade value. There is breeding, after all.
 
and here I though Vanillite and Trubbish were bad...OH BUT NO GAMEFREAK HAAS DONE IT AGAIN!

Goddamnit...it's so fucking adorable! And that key on the far left...looks REALLY familiar...but I can't remember where I have seen that design before.

Also...can we get rough stats again?

This thing is starting to look A LOT like Mismagius...which is GREAT!
