So with the reveal of a new pokemon what does that mean with the next installment? Are we still going to get the 3rd game of Generation VI (Pokemon Z) or are they just going to jump to Gen 7?
While we do not know for sure, it could mean either. I suspect a third game of VI could be coming, it is not new that a brand-new Pokémon gets revealed before a third game or even a new generation.
And I like how most members are thinking that Magiana is female, (granted it looks feminine) but it's man-made, therefore it's gender-less.
I know Magiana is genderless but I like to think it is female based on its feminine appearance. Similar to Diancie and Meloetta. Very few legendary Pokémon have genders and Magiana is man-made, but is it possible for this one to have a gender? I think there's a small chance, it is far more likely to be genderless like the rest though. I believe the creators could assign a gender to their creation.
I think I should join in on the Pokemon action by getting my first Pokemon game this year. X, Y, Ruby, or Sapphire?
I'd say go for Omega Ruby or Alpha Sapphire. The dexnav is a very useful tool for obtaining hidden abilities and other useful things. There's also features like Super Secret Bases, I enjoy those. Pokémon Contests return, they are an interesting kind of competition, no online for them unfortunately. Exclusive mega evolutions, moves, and forms that can't be found in X or Y, I hate how that means interactivity between the games are limited as a result.
Most features from X and Y return for Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire so there isn't much reason to get X and Y. The biggest downside of ORAS is the lack of character customization which was something I really liked in X and Y, There wasn't too many options though. X and Y does offer a region unlike any other in the series. It has slightly more story than Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire if you're into that.
