The text says that Magiana was made by human hands over 500 years ago. Volcanion is chasing Magiana, as it knows Magiana's secret.

Black and White specifically was more urban or rural based on the version you got.

This is nonsense, there's only two Steel Fairies so far. Fairy/Psychic is the most common.

After almost collecting every Pokémon, I only needed Volcanion to have a full Pokédex.

So, naturally, they reveal the first of, like, 200 more Pokémon before Volcanion comes out just to rub in the fact that I'll never catch them all. :negative:

Mind you, completing the Living Dex is probably the easiest it's been since Gen II, especially as this year every Mythical except for Diancie and Hoopa is being distributed.

What are the biggest stumbling blocks to the Living Dex anyway? The Legendary birds, I take it?

Since I'm doing this right now the biggest stumbling block is using level 100 blisseys to grind for evolutions. It takes like 20+ minutes of mashing B to get through all of the level up notifications, and you need to pay at least a little attention due to the "Hey would you like to learn this move?" prompts.

I should probably just mash A instead, and learn every move in spot #1. :sigh:

fake edit: I just checked, Munchlax was revealed 28 months before Diamond and Pearl were released in Japan, so it doesn't necessarily mean that a Gen 7 game is imminent.

Reminder: Ho-Oh was revealed less than a month into Gen 1.

They were a little annoying, since it took three playthroughs of X to get them, but not so bad. The main difficulty is getting people to trade you Legendaries. :argh:

I vaguely remember Masuda hinting that the next generation would take place in England, but I might be misremembering/confusing it with something else.

I'm OMW to completing a pokedex right now as well. Just got under 100 left, and it's mostly trade evolutions, stone evolutions and version exclusives that aren't in Omega Ruby now for me. The big stumbling block I am finding is stuff like Porygon which needs to be traded with a specific item which is consumed on trade. :(

Also, where are you fighting level 100 Blissey's? I have 4 trainers in my secret base with 3x Level 50 Blisseys but I didn't think I could get to fight level 100 ones instead, that would be awesome.

You can get a device that breaks the level 50 cap on secret bases when it's activated. Other people might already have it in their bases, check around and see if you can use it for their Blisseys. But for trainers in your own base, you need your own device. I forget exactly where it's located, unfortunately.

The secret is what generation it's from.


This is a super unexpected reveal and I applaud Pokemon's marketing for just leading us on at this point. There's a genuine reason for a Gen 7 vs Gen 6.5 debate now.

Magiana resembles Diancie quite a bit. It could be another Luvdisc/Alomomola situation but since Carbink has a link to Diancie as well, it's safe to imagine this concept of humans creating a clockwork knockoff of Diancie.

Zoroark (gen V) had its movie in gen IV, so this could be the same case of a next-gen mascot mon having its titular movie (it's called Volcanion and the Exquisite Magiana) in the current gen.

If Volcanion is pursuing it, do you think there could be a type relationship between it and Magiana?

Steel is weak to Fire; what's strong against Water? I'm going with Electric. It's Magnemite-chan.

Would it be possible that gen 6.5 IS just Steam Poke-England? England and France are already heavily involved with eachother's histories and the English yanked cultural practices from them constantly. Wouldn't surprise me if it was a more involved Black-->Black 2 setup.
