A Smelly Pokémon
Pokemon X And Pokemon Y Introduce A Smelly Pokémon
Siliconera will begin its detailed hands-on coverage of Pokémon X and Pokémon Y later today, but in the meantime, The Pokémon Company has released information on two more Pokémon in Pokémon X and Pokémon Y. The two new monsters in question are Aromatisse and Slurpuff. Check them out below.
Aromatisse is a Fairy-type Pokémon, and is an evolution of Spritzee , and is capable of giving off different smells, from a pleasant fragrance to a repugnant odour that can turn the tide of battle.
Pokémon Bank Cloud Service
Pokémon Bank Cloud Service To Launch In December, Will Cost $5 A Year
Last month, Nintendo revealed a new cloud service for their Pokémon RPGs, dubbed Pokémon Bank. As previously detailed, this will be a downloadable app for the Nintendo 3DS that will allow you to upload Pokémon from the Pokémon X and Pokémon Y games to the Internet. It will launch in the U.S. on December 27th.
Pokémon Bank will be a paid service, but the first month will be free, if you download and use the app (which includes obtaining the free pass) by January 31st, 2014. It will give you access to 100 storage boxes of your own, enabling you to store up to 3,000 Pokémon (that’s 30 Pokémon per box). The service will cost $4.99 per year.
It’s The Little Changes That Add Up
Pokémon X And Pokémon Y: It’s The Little Changes That Add Up
When Pokémon shifted locales from Unova to Kalos, geography wasn’t the only aspect of the game that underwent a change. In fact, while many of the changes in Pokémon X and Pokémon Y appear minor, they all add something, from atmosphere to customization to convenience and improved flow of the game.
One of the handiest changes is the Pokémon organization system. While the upcoming Pokémon Bank cloud service certainly sounds useful for players returning to the series, the Pokémon Box system in the game itself has had a few of its kinks ironed out. While the baffling choice of Pokémon Deposit/Withdraw is still present (as always choosing Organize Box allows you to do both at will, so having a choice that only lets you do one or the other has always been redundant), you can now drag Pokémon directly into your party from the box. While this choice was present in Pokémon Black/White, it required a roundabout movement because your party wasn’t always visible on the screen. This time around, things are far smoother.
Another X and Y
Pokémon X And Y: Where Better Graphics Actually Affect Gameplay
Every Pokémon generation has given us something new, not just with the Pokémon themselves or with gameplay, but also in terms of visual quality and the effects that can have on the game. This generation’s Pokémon X and Pokémon Y have made the most enormous leap of all—into 3D—and this brings its own set of improvements.
The Kalos region in Pokémon X and Y is beautiful. The world really comes alive with the new 3D approach in how it’s presented, which feels like quite the step up from previous games. In addition to the gorgeous overworld, though, I feel that the most unique aspects of Pokémon X and Y can be found in the caves, dungeons, and Lumiose City itself, all of which seem to have been turned into experimental playgrounds for techniques never before employed in a mainline Pokémon RPG.
X and Y
Pokémon X And Pokémon Y: Battles Are Faster And Tougher
With the introduction of 3D animated models to Pokémon, battles in Pokémon X and Pokémon Y have certainly become flashier. In fact, they’ve become downright reminiscent of Pokémon Stadium, Colosseum, and Battle Revolution, down to the attacks and fainting animations. Having not played those games in a long time, it was an unintended trip down nostalgia lane for me.
While there are no idle animations for Pokémon during battles, the camera travels around a lot, which helps keep things feeling alive. It will pan around, zoom in on the opposing Pokémon, and essentially do its best to make the scene look cool as the Pokémon stand around waiting for you to finish inputting your commands. In trainer battles, this effect is intensified, with more intense close-ups and a fancy face-off screen reminiscent of fighting games.

Pokémon X and Y’s final starter evolutions revealed
You’ve got decisions to make in life. Important ones. Hard choices. But nothing will ever be as crucial as choosing your starter Pokémon. Normally I tell the professor in charge to shut up and hand me a fire-type. But I’ve got different ideas for this iteration of Pokémon.

Best pokemon games
Let's Rank the Pokémon Games, Best to Worst
The Pokémon world is an enormous one, one that spans over 20 core titles (mostly with slight variations) and countless other side stories (30 by my count), but for newcomers into the series, it seems like an overwhelming lot to comprehend. So let's say you're a new player to the series, or an old hand looking to restart on the road to the Pokémon League—allow me to rank the series so you can catch 'em all the best.
Before I start, I have to point out that this list isn't Kotaku's picks, no—they're mine and mine alone. One extra tidbit: this list does not mean that any one game in the series is worse than the other; if I could, I'd give each game a gold star. I mean I did play them all... all.
Pokémon Colosseum not much played but greatest game
Pokémon Colosseum
In the game,the player character Wes was part of an organization called Team Snagem and they obtained a machine which allowed someone to snag another's Pokémon as if it were wild. Another team, Cipher, was responsible for corrupting the hearts of Pokémon and giving them to Trainers. With the help of a young girl named Rui, Wes was able to find the Pokémon whose hearts were sealed and surrounded by a purple aura and use the Snag Machine to rescue Shadow Pokémon and restore them to normal.Pokémon Colosseum (Japanese: ポケモンコロシアム Pokémon Colosseum) was released on November 21, 2003 in Japan, March 22, 2004 in North America and May 14, 2004 in Europe on the Nintendo GameCube. The game followed the basic stadium style battling found in the Pokémon Stadium games but an extra was included in the form of an RPG which allowed Trainers to catch Generation II andGeneration III Pokémon in the desolate region of Orre.
Ferrothorn Description
Ferrothorn, The Thorn Pod Pokémon.
It fights by swinging around its three spiky feelers. A hit from these steel spikes can reduce a boulder to rubble.They attach themselves to cave ceilings, firing steel spikes at targets passing beneath them. By swinging around its three spiky feelers and shooting spikes, it can obliterate an opponent.Overview
Ferrothorn was easily the best non-legendary Pokemon to come from Black & White. Havin stellar defenses, a good typing, an amazing movepool with moves like Stealth Rock, Spikes, Leech Seed, and so forth, making it one of the best support Pokemon in the entire game. Although weak to common Fighting and Fire moves, most of the time Ferrothorn is able to shrug them off, lay hazards, hurt the opponent with Iron Barbs, or cripple them. The only problems with Ferrothorn are its dismally low Speed, and no reliable recovery, but it makes up for these shortcomings by being the best defensive pivot in OU (if not the game).Pokémon Best Wishes - Episode Title + Pokémon Event + Pokémon of the Week
