Not going to happen, they avoid anything that does not come from that generation, especially evolutions. For example; in Fire Red, the only way to get an Espeon or Umbreon was to trade one from XD: Gale of Darkness or Colosseum, because friendship evolutions were removed completely from the games.

I'd also like to point out that you are probably the first person that predicts him having a Gallade and not mentioning the fact that his Ralts was male, but I'll put my Male-Gardevoir-Rant in here anyway.

Gardevoir was not meant to be feminine at all. The direct translation of Gardevoir's Japanese name is Sir-Knight, and Gardevoir's original design is based off of a knight. It does not wear a dress, but instead a low-cut cape, and the green "hair" on it's head represents a helmet. Many of the pokedex entries also imply that Gardevoir's actions alongside it's trainer depict actions similar to Chivalry, the main philosophy of respect practiced by Knights in midevil Europe. This idea backfired on Gamefreak due to, well, the internet being the internet if you get my meaning. So they added Gallade, and changed the basis of Gardevoir's design to match, saying that Gardevoir and Gallade represent the Dance of Knights from Romeo and Juliet, saying that the red spikes on their chest represent their open hearts, which further influenced the design of Mega Gardevior. So, Gallade and Mega Garedvoir are products of Gardevoir being subject of sexualized fan art.

Yeah you might be right, I guess we'll see.
And yeah, I knew that trivia on Gardevoir, it doesnt surprise me seeing how the internet can be. A fun fact about what you said that Gardevoirs actions alongside its trainer depict actions similar to Chivalry is that, if you have played Pokemon Mystery Dungeon Red/Blue Rescue Team, they pretty much depict Gardevoir in the way its descrived in its pokedex entrys.

YEah, I still find it stupid that they are making groudon doubly weak to kyogre though. It doesnt make much sence xD

But the only weaknesses he's got now is 4x water 2x ground, a big improvement from the ice grass and water weaknesses. Plus, he's got more than double the resistances.

Just saw my twitter spammed with this news. This just made the hype train lose its brakes. I love the idea of being able to share your base via qr code. I feel like I'll be spending hours on my base alone.

Yeah, and from the looks of it, you might be able to build some sort of your own Gym!
Itll be amazing!

Thats exactly what I was thinking about. I'm sure when the game comes out there will be a mcgamer Pokemon league. That would be really cool

Back more on the topic of secret bases, from what it looked like, it seems that they combined the idea of the original secret bases, but added elements of the underground from sinnoh. I find that really cool, and I'm really curious how the "capture the flag" deal will work.
