Zygarde has multiple forms!

Zygarde Cell
The "cells" that make up Zygarde, so to speak. They have no self-identity or will. Countless of them are scattered all over. Also, since they can't use any moves, researchers are currently debating whether or not they and the Cores should be called Pokémon.
An extremely mysterious, unknown lifeform...

Zygarde Core
An individual creature acting as Zygarde's brain, supervising the Cells. A Core is self-aware and communicates with other Cores and the various Cells scattered all over via telepathy. When something abnormal happens to the ecosystem somewhere, it takes action on its own.
What powers does this lovable form hide!?

Zygarde 10% Forme
The form assumed when a Core gathers and combines 10% of the Cells scattered all over. It overpowers enemies with sharp fangs and speed. It can run faster than 100 kilometers an hour.
Cell Combination 10%
What is it fixated at with that piercing stare?!

Zygarde 50% Forme
The Legendary Pokémon responsible for monitoring and preserving the ecosystem all over. This form, which is what we knew as Zygarde until now, is the form assumed when a Core gathers and combines 50% of the Cells scattered all over!
Cell Combination 50%
The balancer of the realm of nature!


Zygarde Perfect Forme
The complete body assumed when a Core gathers and combines all of the Cells scattered all over. It only takes on this form when suppressing something that is ruining the balance of the ecosystem somewhere and it determines the 50% Forme is unable to take this something on. Its power is said to exceed even that of the legendary Pokémon Xerneas and Yveltal.
Cell Combination 100%
This is Zygarde's complete form, Perfect Zygarde!!
Species: Order Pokémon
Type: Dragon/Ground
Height: 4.5 m
Weight: 610.0kg

Seriously? What holds the key to the new story is Squishy!?

Is this really Zygarde!? Just what IS Squishy, the strange life form shrouded in mystery!?

It's cute, but it's crazy strong! Squishy becomes the center of Zygarde!!

Whenever Zygarde Cells gather around Squishy, 10% Zygarde appears from the light! It got rid of the enemy with just one blow.

It showed off its super power, its figure having become gallant as well.


Squishy is Bonnie's... friend!?
Bonnie was the one to initially find Squishy. She's not able to have a Pokémon as a partner yet, but still decided to take care of Squishy!

Is Squishy a Pokémon!?
Squishy takes a sunbath. It seems different from normal Pokémon.

What is the mysterious organization Team Flare!?
Squishy escaped from Team Flare's clutches and seems to hold the answer to that question.

Squishy's secrets will be revealed in the episode airing Thursday November 26th!?
Pikachu and Meowth will experience something really strange in this episode! It seems Squishy's secrets, those that no one knows yet, will be revealed then!

I"m hyped lets do this
 

Afrodisiac

break up w yo gf, im bored
So it's not a Mega Greninja but sort of a different one who looks similar to Ash's clothes? Interesting.
 

Yuraenia

Call me Qooky :)
DUDE. IM SO EXCITED FOR THIS.
Things that I noticed.
-Obviously, Zygarde and all its forms. Kind of mixed feelings about the dog, but whatever!
-MEGA GRENINJA HYPE
-Noibat is evolving!!! :D
-AND FINALLY THE TEAM FLARE ARC.

ok so it is mega greninja, I mean I figured as much. I am now fully anticipating Pokemon z in March/April 2016. which has been my prediction all along.
 

AuraChannelerChris

Easygoing Luxray.
Noibat is confirmed to evolve, but since that Mega Sceptile is glaring at Noivern...I guess Scottie Sawyer is going to get on the train at a ludicrous speed.

And I think this pretty much confirms that a Z version of the games is in the works.

I'm willing to bet it's ash's sceptile. His team currently lacks a grass type, and he needs a mega. They brought back charizard last gen so I could see them bring back sceptile instead.

I just can't.

It's too much.

I can't handle it.

Everything is so awesome. "Mega Greninja" and Noivern.

Mega Sceptile, is very skeptical right now, but I wouldn't be surprised, since Ash did have a very strong reaction knowing that Sceptile could mega evolve.

So Trevor for Mega Charizard Y, I'm guessing.

It's gotta be Ash's. There's no Shota in sight.
 

Lorde

Let's go to the beach, each.
Noivern for Ash too? Nnnnn, not all my predictions ending up wrong in one night. XY & Z still has potential though.

And that random Lucario in the BW poster of a few years back didn't have its really atrocious trainer around in the same poster.

That M-Sceptile is Scottie Sawyer's. Otherwise, why even glare at the Noivern that's clearly Ash's?
It doesn't look like that to me. They're just weirdly placed.

it's not even glaring at noivern, it's behind him. they're both just doing their own fierce poses for their promotional poster

Really?? They just copy pasted Sceptile's sprite from the games lol.

I wonder if this is truly Mega-Greninja or just a new form difference without it being a new form. Just like a Spinda's spots or something. If it is it, then I'm getting my wish since June of last year.

Well if it isn't a Mega Evolution, which has suddenly become the possibility, then it might either be some weird thing introduced only for anime (which I hope not), or a new form of Greninja that might be obtainable in Pokemon Z through some other mechanism. Customization of your Pokemon's looks perhaps? But to be honest, I would rather have it as a Mega Evolution than any of the alternatives. Yet, now I'm skeptical because of that blurb stating that it looks like Satoshi. The question is, why?
