Acorn is an adorable obvious name for chespin.

Ask me about the moon landing or the temperature at which jet fuel burns. You may be surprised at what you learn.
That was a fucking mess. If I remember correctly, EB Games got the go ahead (or thought they did) to start selling the game a week early and this went on for a couple of days before they found out they weren't supposed to. That pissed a lot of people off, especially since the game was very hard to find at launch.

So Bulbagarden (And Joe, if he enters into the fray), how do you feel about it leaking this early? I'm guessing you probably have to have a pretty flexible schedule with other real life responsibilities during times like these, because you never know when you're going to have to man the station and prepare to update the site. Does the timeframe matter to you, as far as when the leaks happen? Would you have preferred the leaks closer to release?
If you evolve it and trade it back Yellow has no idea it was ever special and your conscience is clear
Get it before Nintendo Ninja ambush any retail store near you!

Joe said in the direct thread it would be a nightmare if x and y were surprise released today during a discussion on it, so I imagine there's a lot of overhead to these things.

I like it lol
I don't like it getting leaked early. I wanted everyone to experience it the same day. I assume that's one reason they did a world wide release.
I wouldn't know which stores to check. It's been years since I could get reliable early stuff from the big retailers. I know a local shop around the corner, but I'm not friends with them.
My conscience can never be clear, not from Oak he knows stuff that we don't know. Like when I tried to ride a bike inside the SS. Anne. :|
That was never going to happen even from Nintendo since they were selling the game a day early at the Nintendo centre in New York.

And here was me thinking Nintendo Ninjas would prevent such things as a 1-day early ShopTo delivery. I'm less worried now.

Not sure if true, but someone on Pokebeach posted this:
It kinda goes along with the other guys leaks, and he posted about Combee before the guy with all the pics did.
I'm not quite sure how long this post will last, but read for your own amusement and curiosity. BE WARNED, I have a copy of Pokemon X and I have beaten it. My best Pokemon right now is Dragonite, who I will show Mega Evolving, but I will not show it's Mega Form. The following is all of what I've discovered and think is significant to Pokemon players everywhere.
- Dragonite has a Mega Evolution, along with all of the starters and some pseudos. Arcanine, Steelix, Sharpedo, Floatzel, Togekiss, and Tyranitar are a few of which have Mega Evolutions.
- There are 8 gyms, Dark-type is one of them.
- There is another Eevee evolution that is owned by the Champion of Kalos. It is rivaled by the Eevee you train and evolve. Evolving it is mandatory to face the Champion, you are presented with Evolutionary Stones and methods of evolving Eevee while you are in Victory Road.
- There are very different areas in Victory Road, a Forest area (Grass, Bug, Poison, some Flying and multi-typed Pokemon), an Underwater area (Water and some multi-typed Pokemon), a Volcanic area (Fire, Steel, Dragon, and some multi-typed Pokemon), and if you go in the right direction, you will enter a Black-Void area (Ghost, Dark, and some multi-typed Pokemon). Outside of Victory Road you will find Fairy, Fighting, and Normal-Type Pokemon.
- The third mascot legendary is found underneath "The Giant Life", as opposed to Xerneas found at the bottom of The Giant Life, and Yveltal atop The Giant Life.
- I have seen all of the starters final evolutions', I'm sure everyone will be pleased with. Especially Froakie and Fennekins'.
- Pre-evolutions and Evolutions of past generation Pokemon return, along with new Middlutions that are exactly the same as Pre-evos and Evos, but effect an evolution line by introducing a Middle Evolution, rather than a Final or First Stage Evolution. A few Pokemon with Pre-Evos are Girafarig, Tropius, and Cubone. A few Pokemon will Middlutions are the Growlithe line, the Carvanha line, and the Combee line. A few Pokemon with Evolutions are Pinsir and Heracross, Dunsparce, and Farfetch'd, which was never too far-fetched at all.
- Combee now has a male evolution, called Bedrone, that looks almost too similar to Beedrill, minus the stripes. Yet it is a shade of orange and has three eyes that form a triangle shape. The antenna on Bedrone are large and there are specks of white hair around Bedrone's eyes. It's pretty cute. Bug/Flying type and has higher attack than a normal Vespiqueen.
- Team Flare is not alone, take that to heart!
- Mewtwo is catchable after beating the game.
- Characters from past games show up, and there are some shocking revelations.
That's all for now, but I will update with more if given the time and allowance.
It kinda goes along with the other guys leaks, and he posted about Combee before the guy with all the pics did.
YYYOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH MY GOD I AM INCREDIBLY HYPED

I for one enjoy this sort of disruption. Now I don't have to visit all those poorly designed Pokemon fansites!

I doubt he'll rat out the place, and if he did Nintendo Ninja's would probably get there faster than anyone else.
Ugh, why no pics
:O
I want to think that every thing is just a rumor and deny it all but I also want to believe!

GIVE ME FROAKIE 3 OR GIVE ME NINTENDO NIN-
There's one thing I can't get my head around though. They did a worldwide release (partially) because they didn't want to spoil things for the Western gamers with the Japanese release. Then they made reviewers sign a very strict NDA. And now they're sending out the game to retailers 2 weeks in advance.
It doesn't add up. Why send the game out so early if you want to combat leaks? Of course, the stores aren't supposed to sell it yet, but still.
It sucks though. Part of the fun is exploring the world and the new Pokémon yourself. Leaks will ruin all kinds of surprises.
