Magearna

I suppose there's not enough evidence to call Magearna new to Gen VII even though it would make her the Zoroark/Lucario/Mega Mewtwo-esque "preview Pokemon"? Nutter Butter (talk) 16:43, 26 February 2016 (UTC)

I guess we just have to wait and see what her PokéDex number is. --Raltseye 16:48, 26 February 2016 (UTC)

Gen VII?

What evidence is there that these are intended to be Gen VII and not part of Gen VI? Drake Clawfang (talk) 17:23, 26 February 2016 (UTC)

http://pokemon.gamespress.com/release.asp?i=1942&lang=en&region=United+Kingdom Undeniable proof. Torpoleon (talk) 17:48, 26 February 2016 (UTC)

The best evidence at the moment is probably that you apparently can't trade directly between XY/ORAS and SM. I say "apparently" because they don't explicitly say you can't trade with them (only that you can use Bank to bring XY/ORAS Pokemon into SM), but if you could, then you'd be able to move VC RBY Pokemon to XY/ORAS, but that doesn't seem likely when that same page explicitly says you can't Bank VC RBY Pokemon to XY/ORAS... Tiddlywinks (talk) 17:54, 26 February 2016 (UTC)

Yeah I don't see anything there that can be considered proof. Flain (talk) 19:07, 26 February 2016 (UTC)

"Newest Generation of Pokémon Core Series Games coming to Nintendo 3DS Late 2016" isn't proof? Nutter Butter (talk) 19:21, 26 February 2016 (UTC)

That doesn't necessarily mean Generation 7. It is possible they mean something else by it.Flain (talk) 03:54, 28 February 2016 (UTC)

What else could it mean? 6.5 isn't really a new generation as it's still within Generation VI. It literally say "Newest Generation", that's as clear as clear can get.--ForceFire 03:59, 28 February 2016 (UTC)

Look I just don't think it should be called Generation VII until we actually know more about the games because there's no way to know what could happen at this point since we know next to nothing. That's just how I see it.Flain (talk) 04:20, 28 February 2016 (UTC)

I know Bulbapedia has pretty ridiculous concepts of what is "confirmed", but saying "there's a 1% chance they could mean something besides what they said" is just overkill. Nutter Butter (talk) 19:26, 28 February 2016 (UTC)

Isn't "generation" a fan term? Has it ever been used officially? N. Harmonik (talk) 02:30, 1 March 2016 (UTC)

Nintendo nor Game Freak have never used the term. This could mean anything given it's just a marketing headline. Rebmcr (talk) 17:05, 3 April 2016 (UTC)

It was in the official press releases...

(resetting indent)It has been used officially in the past for the first games of a generation:

• "Welcome to the next generation of Pokémon!" (back of the box for Diamond and Pearl)
• "Pokémon Diamond and Pokémon Pearl, exclusively on Nintendo DS, prove that the next generation of Pokémon games is taking the hugely popular franchise to amazing new levels." (Nintendo.com)
• "Pokémon Black Version and Pokémon White Version features a new generation of amazing Pokémon." (Pokemon.com)
• "Pokémon Black Version and Pokémon White Version will feature a new generation of amazing Pokémon." (Nintendo.com)
• "An all-new 3D Pokémon adventure packed with never-before-seen Pokémon has launched! Pokémon X and Pokémon Y presents a new generation of Pokémon and introduces players to an exciting new adventure in a breathtaking 3D world." (Pokemon.com)

Pokemon No.s

What you should add

"Currently there have been 6 Pokemon Revealed, along with the Starter Evolutions and 3rd Legendary, this brings the official number of Pokemon to 734." - unsigned comment from Theexploringgamer (talk • contribs)

I think they are waiting until the rest are revealed. Technically, the starter Evolutions haven't even been revealed yet. Yeah, one can assume that there will be two evolutions per starter, but it is safe to wait until they are officially revealed. Same with the "3rd Legendary". Who knows, as strange as it may sound, there might end up not being a "3rd Legendary", people assumed that there would be a "Gray version" after Black and White, and a "Z version" after X and Y. Overall, it is best to just not put assumptions on the pages no matter how obvious they may seem to you, that seems to be the rule, and it makes sense. Also, please remember to sign your posts before saving them (there is no need to rush, I would hope anyway :P ). ----NateVirus(Talk|Contributions) 17:49, 12 May 2016 (UTC)

But then why can't we add the total number of Pokemon including the starter evolutions. They would never make a starter with only a basic and 1st stage. - unsigned comment from Theexploringgamer (talk • contribs)

There is no need whatsoever for us to make such assumptions. That's not what Bulbapedia is for. Tiddlywinks (talk) 16:44, 13 May 2016 (UTC)

^What Tiddlywinks said. Which is practically what I said before. LOL. :P Please, avoid making assumptions, exploringgamer, even if they seem very obvious to you. Also, remember four "~"s to sign your posts. ----NateVirus(Talk|Contributions) 23:55, 13 May 2016 (UTC)

Additions

Well, shouldn't it be noted that the 100% Zygarde will debute in Pokémon Sun and Moon and that is also an addition? Lokki (talk) 08:06, 4 July 2016 (UTC)

Obtaining Pokémon Caught in Previous Generations

Would it be worth mentioning that the Generation II games (Pokémon Gold, Pokémon Silver, and Pokémon Crystal) are the only Core series games that you can't bring forward Pokémon from? Pokemonred200 (talk) 20:02, 30 July 2016 (UTC)

We don't know that for sure yet. I mean, it's pretty likely, but the generation isn't out yet, and they could release Gen II on the VC. Nutter Butter (talk) 20:17, 30 July 2016 (UTC)

Regional Variants

No word on the addition of Regional Variants? Fond the name on the International Press site: (http://pokemon.gamespress.com/release.asp?i=2118). Also I'd have expected a page to be made by now, though I suppose we dont know enough. Smear-Gel (talk) 14:35, 2 August 2016 (UTC)

update number of revealed pokémon

39 should become 41 and 760 should become 762 MannedTooth (Talk) 14:13, 6 September 2016 (UTC)

Those counts are automated based on the number of articles we have for new Pokémon. Pumpkinking0192 (talk) 16:55, 6 September 2016 (UTC)

My bad, when I was looking at them, it wasn't updated yet! Thanks !:) MannedTooth (Talk) 16:57, 6 September 2016 (UTC)

Now it should be updated again, because there are now 52 of them, excluding Ultra Beasts. Lokki (talk) 16:14, 28 September 2016 (UTC)

Please read Pumpkinking's comment, the number corresponds to the amount of pages in the category, it is not manually updated.--ForceFire 16:28, 28 September 2016 (UTC)

Oh, right, I forgot about the forms... Lokki (talk) 17:08, 28 September 2016 (UTC)

Feel Free?

This article is incomplete and it's yet not updated. Above, you can see the notice "Please feel free to edit this article to add missing information and complete it. " But how could everyone help, since this article is protected, and the staff doesn't update it? Lokki (talk) 16:17, 28 September 2016 (UTC)

That notice is part of the generic "incomplete" template that is used all across this wiki. Don't take it literally. Pumpkinking0192 (talk) 16:42, 28 September 2016 (UTC)

Advances in gameplay: evolution moves

It should be mentioned that in Generation VII moves obtainable upon first evolving in previous generations can now be obtained after evolving at any level. Xfing (talk) 17:31, 21 December 2016 (UTC)
