Pokémon XY Leaks

I don't know about you guys, but, I'm not too bothered by the fact there's only a day or two of Post-game. A handful of Legendaries, a silly semi-Battle Tower and Safari Zone sound pretty good when you remember that this gen has possibly the largest re-playability factor in the entire series. 450 Pokemon in the Kalos dex gives you an AMAZING amount of potential variety. And if you don't limit yourself to new Pokemon, the sheer amount of team combinations is staggering.
GALVANTULAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
DOESN'T MATTER HOW MANY POKEMON X AND Y INCLUDE, I GET MEGA GALVANTULA

To my knowledge this still has yet to be confirmed, as there have been people claiming to have the stone but no one has provided pictures yet
This man gets me!!!
Number of pokemon =/= replayability
There are a whole host of things that make people want to play a game over and over. Variety is a part of the equation, but that doesn't make it an important factor.
So I want to do a mono-Fire run this time through, and based on that chart above these are my options:
Fennekin
Torchic*
Charmander
Fletchling
Pansear
Litleo
Houndour
Flareon
Magcargo
Chandelure
Heatmor
* event
That's it? I'm pretty much going Fennekin/Torchic/Charmander X/Houndour/Litleo/Chandelure?

31 less
well
by this time next year probably 30 less, since I doubt this will be the one generation with no event legends.
Torkoal's in the mountain dex (#96), so there's that. Not sure how late in-game that would be.
When it comes to Pokemon, that's more or less the only thing that matters. You can't really play anything else differently in the game, so having a large variety of team combinations would indeed be the primary reason for re-playability.
Now for other, less-formulaic games, I certainly agree with you. But we're talking Pokemon here. And I did say it would the "largest re-playability factor in the series" referring just to Pokemon. Unless you can name another re-playability factor besides variety that one of the other main-series Pokemon games has, I'm not seeing your point.
Kampachi was playing the Y version (he leaked Yveltal's stats). Think about it, if you can get the Charizardnite X in the Y version (and viceversa), then those items are not version exclusive, right?
Josh got a Skelp, so he is playing the Y version too.
Looks like a slightly less bulky Altaria (especially on the special side), but more powerful and a lot faster. Looks like a solid UU Pokemon at least.
I'm doing my all fire team on Y since MegaZard Y has Drought! Then I'm going for a mixed team on X
Some of the early leakers that got shut down were playing X.
I heard there are people playing X, but they aren't sharing any information for some reason. :/
I really want to know Xerneas' stats!
Edit: Oh yeah, what AstralFire said.
I haven't got a problem with the low number since this has to be the generation with the highest rate of interesting designs and new approaches. There's next to nothing I can't imagine using at least as a nice playthrough-Pokémon; in my eyes, the got rid of a lot of fillers (save bug/rodent/flyer/pikaesque) which nobody uses anyway. You've got the usual upperclass-things in Goodra and Aegishield (both having different aspects that make them great and not 'just' good stats, I'd call them some of the most inspired Pokémon ever - although Poison on Goodra would have been really nice), new types people were longing for - here we have the Dragon/Poison, some pretty great forest spirits and great legendaries that won't be the only of this generation.
Stall apparrently got a buff - look at all those defenses - and our little mountan fairy; no power creep this time. Mega-Evolutions come to mind, but everybody gets just one - and on the examples of stats we got, I assume it's fair to say that these are not gamebreaking.

This has really turned in to the whining thread. Everyone is complaining about the number of new pokemon. I think there are plenty. We already have around 700, do we really need more? I love the way they are trying to improve some old ones. Quality over quantity is huge with me. I hate seeing a ton of new garbage designs that don't even deserve to be called Pokemon. Generation 4 and 5 both had way too many legendaries. it made it so they weren't even special or significant. They were all over the place in gen 5. 3 new ones is plenty in my opinion. I think we need to shift from complaining and judging the game before even playing it back to figuring out how pokemon evolve and getting an estimate of their base stats, such a xerneas. We havent even gotten a look at mega garchomp or charizard y yet. We got a whole new type which means a new metagame.
I didn't catch the name of the leaker we were talking about. So sue me.
There's a safari zone? Or have I misunderstood?
It's kind of a "Friend Zone" where each section is based on a friend you have added, and the Pokemon are generated there depending on what they have/like. (Details are kind of vague. I don't know if it follows the "you don't send out your own Pokemon" Safari Zone thing.) But I meant it was a semi-Safari Zone.
I imagine we'll get more info on it later tonight when the leakers are more active. Kenpachi mostly skipped it over to go hunting for Mewtwo/Zygarde.
Kind of. Click the prior. Can people please use the search function for stuff with easy-to-check terms?
A Friend Zone, eh?
Is that where you put your early-game rodents when you decide you don't want them anymore?
"It's not you, it's me..."
Exclusive to female trainers.
This is wrong. Pyroar is 'Kaenjishi' so Borukenion is something else, and Burigaron could very well be Chesnaught iirc.
