    Some of the information below is yet to be confirmed, so don't run with it as 100% until we get proof.

    - Isshu Region
    - protagonists are older than the protagonists from other Pokemon games
    - Grass starter: Tsutaja - grass snake pokemon
    - Fire starter, Pokabu - fire pig pokemon
    - Water starter, Mijumaru - sea otter pokemon
    - Zoroark as an ability called 'illusion' which allows him to transform into other Pokemon
    - Trickery - allows attack to be calculated using the opponent's stats
    - Claw Sharpen - raises user's attack and accuracy stats
    - special movie event details: special battle against level 25 Zoroark will occur, which transforms into various Pokemon. It will eventually break transformation which allows for capture.

    Thanks to all that sent this in!

    Yeah that fire one looks quite odd... It is a bit like they just smoked some marijuana and it is not quite working out the same way for them. 
     
    I hope that there being older main character that the story will be a bit more mature. Probably not but here is to hoping.

    They do not look any older then any of the other characters. Maybe 5 months at the most.  
     
    Unless they are well..left behind in their Pokemon class and leave after they are 10..

    The grass Pokemon looks really weird, but I'll get used to it.  Hopefully these games will be out early next year.

    The main characters look pretty good. I really like the chick's hair. 
     
    But those starters? Possibly the worst Pokemon designs I've ever seen. I'm not kidding. Those are worse than fucking Bidoof. Like, a lot worse than Bidoof. And Bidoof is... just look at him.

    My rule of thumb, the cutest starting pokemon will tend to be the most badass looking one by the final evolution.

    True, but they already had Treecko. They couldn't make it a slithering thing, because that would go against the whole "2 bipedal, one quadruped starters"  that occurs every generation.

    I'm excited just because it's Pokémon.  These new starters are quite disappointing.  I'll go with the Grass starter for the first time ever, I suppose.

    I'm still not sold. Until they make fundamental changes to the formula or include solid gold bricks with every purchase, I won't be buying the next game at full price.

    I mean, at least before all the starters looked pretty good.
     
    Even still, looks interesting.

    " @Ariketh: Not sure where you're getting the psychic vibe from the grass type, but it very well could be. "

    The stylish yellow shoulder flairs make me think that is may be Psychic-related.
     
    Why isn't the pig called Pokubu? Pokabu doesn't make sense to me, unless they are trying to say something like "fail-oink" (referring to Poka-Yoke, which means fail-proof). Or maybe they are referring to Polka...? Poku makes sense, because Pooku (ポーク) means pork, and buu is the Japanese version of oink.
     
    Mijumaru might mean something like (Miju) Young/Raw/Immature/Inexperienced/Notice and (Maru) Ball/Circle. So one could go as far as you say the name means "Raw Ball." Haha.

    Tsutaaja... Tsu might refer to the flair on it's shoulder, and Jatai is the body of a snake. If you flip the letters, it becomes itaja, or Taija, which could easily become Taaja.

    These might seem like stretches to you, but they don't seem that far off to me. Keep in mind, I got paid to play around with words before while I lived in Japan - and it was for a game company as well ( Kemco).
     
    Edit: Alright, REAL info on the names. Source
     
    • Tsutaaja (ツタージャ) is the Grass Snake Pokemon, its ability is Overgrow, it is 0.6 m (2 ft) tall, and it weighs 8.1 kg (17.9 lbs). "Tsuta" means "ivy" and "ja" is one way of saying the word "snake."
    • Pokabu (ポカブ) is the Fire Pig Pokemon, its ability is Blaze, it stands 0.6 m (2 ft) tall, and it weighs 9.9 kg (21.9 lbs). The name derives from "pokapoka," which means "warm" in Japanese, and "bu," the sound a pig makes in Japanese culture (here it's "oink").
    • Mijumaru (ミジュマル) is the Sea Otter Pokemon, its ability is Torrent, it is 0.5 m (1.6 ft) tall, and it weighs 5.9 kg (13 lbs). "Mijuku" means "immature" and "maru" means "round" or "ball."

    Pig, Snake, retarded Otter, actually. Though why the snake has legs, I dunno, but they call him a snake, so... He is based off the grass snake.
     
    "The Grass Snake is typically dark green or brown in colour with a characteristic yellow collar behind the head"
     
    I am guessing someone from Europe wrote that description.

    Unless they are well..left behind in their Pokemon class and leave after they are 10.. 

    They are suppose to be teenagers.
     
    I would imagine they would explain it along the lines of it being a different culture, therefore, a different starting age. It is suppose to be located very far from the previous games in terms of location.

    First time where I probably won't pick the water starter, unless his evolutions are really cool.  I'm not someone who believes the Pokemon are getting worse, but I really don't like the otters design.  The snake and pig are great though.  Although I also really dislike the female trainer design..  I am pleased we're getting slightly older characters, but hopefully the story has been tweaked as well.

    I dunno... I could see it. It doesn't look that strange to me. Have you ever pulled a ponytail through a cap? Plus, wearing a high ponytail, rather than a low ponytail, reduces the among of tangles you get. My girlfriend used to wears her hair in a similar fashion on occasion when it was super long. By similar fashion, I mean the high ponytail.

    I was watching some random Pokemon episodes not too long ago, trying to catch up on the story or whatever (I wanted to see Gary's Pokemon), and I saw one episode where they actually "killed" some people. Some Pokemon destroyed some evil lady's ship that crashed into a lake, and some guy...got swallowed up by another universe...maybe...? Of course, I could be taking this totally out of context, but if I am, don't tell me.
