I'm kind of doubting those last few rumors, but the rest seem legit.
Guys, guys.... aerial battles might confirm my other speculation (as of today) that you can actually fly around the region on your Pokemon when choosing to fly from place to place! I was thinking it could give you an option on the touch screen to choose to manually control your Pokemon as the fly animation begins. If you dont press the touch screen before the animation ends, then you would just fly normally like any other game. If you press the touch screen, you could then manually fly to anywhere you visited. The land option would appear when you are above the destination and you would either be unable to land at unvisited places OR you would automatically turn around if you go past the boundaries. I really hope this happens!
Or maybe the Pokemon just take to the skies after a battle is initiated... Either way, I really like the aerial battle idea.

I don't like "Fairy Type" at all. Why make a new type with no need at all. When the dark and steel types were released in gen 2 games, there was a reason behind it. Psychic type pokemon were becoming over powered, so with dark and steel types, the psychic type became generally balanced.
What would the reasoning behind this be? The only reason I see would be trying to spruce up the series. Even that just seems weird.
Whats with the weaknesses and resistances? What's up with the super-effectiveness to fighting? Both the immunity and super-effectiveness to dragon makes no sense at all.
The dual-type attacks sound pretty cool actually. I think it would bring some really interesting strategy to the games. And I'm very interested to see how this new flying type mechanic would play out.
But then again, this is all speculation and unofficial. Hopefully we'll get some insight to this next week.

Interesting to see another new type in Fairy; also we'll finally be getting dual-types; which sounds very interesting.
For all saying adding a new type is pointless but when they did it in Gen 2 it had a reason:
It's weak against Poison.
Boosting that incredibly underpowered typing is a good reason. Not to mention it gives a bump to Dragons.

Even though these runors are being taken with a grain of salt by everyone, it's always fun to read them. Maybe WPM should post some more up here on the forums, I mean they're just rumors afterall.
Seems legit except fairy type. Here is why
1. No reason for it
2. Besides Clefairy, Celebi, and Sylveon, no one else should have it
3. Strong against dragons, now that's pushing it.

Why so on 3? Im curious on your opinion
Double type attacks: Yes, it could make the game harder and more amusing
Fairy Type: Yes, but no.. I don't like the "fairy" title
Mewtwo has another forme: Hope that's something more deffensive
Pr. Patrice: No comments about
Starter finals evos: Finally choosing starters will be hard
Gyms: Hope that third will be Dark, The first one being bug is cool, make it relatively easy for all types
Flying-Levitate thing: No comments, I rarely use them
EV's watching: Totally YES!
Fairy Type: Yes, but no.. I don't like the "fairy" title

Well, some weakness/resistance makes sense. Ground is strong against electric, water is strong against fire, but fairy and dragon?
Plus, all types except fighting/normal/dragon represent an element. Fairy wouldn't really fit as well.
Also Mewtwo with 3 forms?
Wut.

Stop complaining. There you have reasons why it has the typing.

Hmmm... Seems rather intersting. Fairy sounds weird to have as a type. Its not an element or an ability I just don't see how that is gonna turn out. Something seems fishy but we'll see. Mewtwo having two new formes sounds cool. Hopefully the second one will be better than the first. Patrice sounds like a lame name but who cares. But its weird how they would change Mawile's type. I dunno about that. As for the dual-typed moves I have no idea how that is gonna work but it sounds cool for now. It seems weird how someone would get these random chunks of information though. Like knowing the starters final evolution types but not their names, knowing Mewtwo's types are activated by items but doesn't say the item name, knowing the first,second and fourth gym types but not the rest, not naming the dual-type attacks. But some of that information may be in the other info WPM was talking about. Hopefully we'll get a confirmation soon for any of these details.
1: I'd say there's a pretty damn good reason for it. Poison and Steel need a bit of an offensive boost, and Dragon needs to be taken down a notch.Reggie McGigas said:
2: I dunno, I can kinda see the logic in making Mawile Steel/Fairy, for starters.
3: Why? That type needs to be taken down a notch. It's only got two weaknesses so far- itself and Ice. Dragon-types are generally thought of as some of the most powerful Pokémon in existence, and with stuff like Dragonite, Garchomp, Haxorus, Salamence, and Hydreigon, not that hard to see why. And that's just the non-legendary examples!
