When did that happen? 0_0 Why Shaymin Why? You're too cute for that crap...

December 21, 2012. Shaymin lead his undead army against Australia, but was turned aside by the combined efforts of Squirtle Squad and Elite members of the Charizard Valley, it was a very epic battle but not well televised. The Mayan's were half right at least about the end of the world.

Yeah, let's kill of the country that isn't in economical chaos. AUSTRALIA IS AWESOME. Shaymin, even my Wooper could beat you. Also, HA! Aus is the first country to have real pokemon.

All this talk of an axis-themed plot and Shaymin's zombie apocalypse is a bit
Personally, I think the plot/villains will have more to do with genetics (i.e. cloning, mutation, mewthree etc.)

Of course it could just end up being Team rocket making a comeback and just trying to steal pokemon to dominate the world again, haha.

Team Rocket's comeback has been the antagonistic plotline of the Pokemon anime for the last 2 seasons, so why not in Generation VI?

Ya, Jessie and James have been in every season of the anime, so it wouldn't be that big a surprise then. If they bring back an old enemy, I think I'd like to see Galactic come back. If X&Y is going to have something to do with Axis and the planes of existence (ya, my own idea in my head) then if anyone returning would make sense it would be Galactic trying to recreate reality. Though most likely they will follow the trend of a new team (Gen 2 excluded, but they kind of are special since it was still essentially the same area being right next to Kanto and such.)

Think it was gamefaqs, but maybe here also. I like the idea of cross breeding to make a new one. Kind of like Accelgor and Escavelir, just not having to trade. I know they'd end up having to be fixed and not random, but it could be cool. New ways to evolve wouldn't be a bad thing I think.

Because that's the anime, not the games. Anime world does not = game world.
In the games Giovanni and Team Rocket were defeated in Kanto. Team Rocket were dispersed and Giovanni disappeared. Team Rocket tried, and failed, to make a comeback. They were dispersed (again)
None of this ever happened in the anime (along with a lot of stuff)

That's not to say that Team Rocket will not be making a comeback, just that you can't base your logic on the anime.

Could do something like have Silver trying to start Team Rocket up and run the operation better than his dad ever could.

Doubtful, given that Silver helped take down Team Rocket.

I didn't say "Ok so since it's in the anime Team Rocket is DEFINITELY going to appear in X and Y for ANOTHER comeback". I said it would be a good idea and a lot of stuff in the anime and the video games are a bit related. Season 9 with the Battle Frontier and returning to Kanto was a nod to Firered, Leafgreen, and Emerald. So yeah it's just a thought.

I know it's not believable, but you never know. He could have had ulterior motives for helping, and it's not like every good guy in history has stayed good, he could fall off the band wagon or even try to create a good team rocket. BW2 old school plasma were trying to help.

It's a crackpot theory for a reason, haha.

I used France in my fan fic and had the Gym in the Eiffel Tower, trainers had to battle their way up to the top to battle the leader at the highest point.

If it goes down like this in X&Y I'm gonna sue. And also buy the game, play it, and love it.

Well the Main Audience is actually in their late teens or early 20's. Young kids are into other stuff now a days, I don't know too many young kids that are into Pokemon as much as the older generations. I think it's time for GameFreak to give us older fans a bone. Which is why I'm loving the Norse Theory, deep enough for the older fans to dig into but pops out enough for the younger ones to love it without needing too much info on it. Not to mention it might make it easier for them to identify with some real history. Educational and fun haha

I'm surprised you said that. Where I live, at my age, you're an outcast for playing Pokemon. If you're 10, lets say, you're the most popular kid.

*LOOKS BACK AT MY LIFE*

"WHY DID I ONLY GET INTO POKEMON IN YEAR 7!"

Haha I'm not saying us older fans are bringing in the babes with our Poke Love lol just that when you see all the fans excluding Japan's fanbase and you look at who is really looking forward to it and getting all the games and battling and sharing all this stuff pokerelated or even the people that end up jumping into a conversation and you never knew they were pokenerds, a vast majority of them are in their later teens or 20's because those are the kids that grew up in the big Pokemon moment of the late 90's and early 2000's the amount of 10 year olds into Pokemon now is nothing compared to the ones back then. So even if most of them fell out I'm pretty sure we still outnumber, the cash cow is actually the older ones that now have money and are working ext and buy all the stuff themselves.

This theory has to do with Fairy type. It's been confirmed that Yvetal is a Dark/Flying and Xerenes is a Fairy type, like my Gardivoirs.

So, is this a clue that Fairy type is super effective against Dark, or a confirmation that they are equally balanced? I'ma hope for the former so that Dasher gets some good use out of being a Fairy type.

If they did something floaty and swirly it might work, but the other two are animal-ish shaped and not many animals look like the letter Z

It could easily be some kind of serpent Pokémon that poses like a Z at least in Stock-art.

Yeah, that's not a bad idea. Maybe it's going to involve water in some way. X has land covered, Y has sky, all that's left is the sea, unless you count space.
