    Usual Disclaimer: Didn't see a thread for it.
    A few days ago, the Pokémon Company officially revealed the Psychic/Ghost Pokémon, Hoopa via the above trailer. Details on how and when it'll be released have yet to be revealed. For those who don't mind spoiling themselves, its Ability, stats, and movepool are available on Serebii.

    That being said, how do you think Hoopa will be released? (That is, will it be released at gaming stores/certain locations just as other event legends/Pokémon have in the past, or will it be given out another way?) When do you think it will be released--more specifically, do you think it'll be released before the announcement of the next main game(s) or not? Will you get Hoopa; why/why not?

    Game-wise, what do you think of Hoopa as a Pokémon? Do you think you'll use it or try using it, or do you have no interest in it?

    And finally, anything you'd like to say about Hoopa that hasn't been asked? :D

    Hoopa's attack and special attack are looking really, really good: like, it already has 110 base attack and 150 base special attack on it's normal form which in other words is about, 350 attack and 438 special attack, but theeeen comes it's unbound form: 160 base attack and 170 base special attack, which is like, 460 attack and 482 special attack. @_@ wow. Then again it kinda doesn't like bug and dark attacks, soooo.. maybe that makes up for it?

    Anywho, I do look forward to it! I wonder how it'll fit in though; like a sidestory for Hoopa in ORAS? Maybe one for like, a third game for X&Y? Hm.

    Ah guh! I really hope we get this lovely little thing before the release of the next Pokémon game. Really love its concept and am itching to try it out, Unbound form aside.. because that just terrifies me. x'D;;

    Definitely going to nab him and use on my team when possible! I really love small legends like these so of course these announcements have been very welcome. Why oh why are you transporting all these legends to us in Hoenn, Hoopa?!

    It's a ghost type so I love it already! I'd hope it would be released through an online event, but I doubt I'll have such luck.

    I'm glad it's releasing legends in Hoenn, I got a Giratina that way 8D
    But it needs to release like, mew, celebi, etc

    It's about prime time that they released it. I think that they caught on that we already knew about Hoopa a while ago and I'm surprised it took them this long to at least tell us about it.

    It's signature move has the word "Hyperspace" in its name. There's no doubt I'll be checking out Hoopa! :P

    Hoppa is a really strange Pokémon. I'd hope he will fit more in to the plot than Diancie did, since he is clearly responsible for all those holes you can find across the region with legendaries in them.

    Everyone please ignore the fact that that hacker already leaked the existence of Hoopa, as well as another Legendary that has yet to be announced. Still, they'll probably release it via Wi-Fi, so everyone can get their hands on it.

    It's Ghost-Type, signature move has 'Hyperspace,' and best of all, it looks like a possessed doll.......I love it already.

    I really like Hoopa's design, both its 'imp' form and its Unbound form. Its Unbound form is amazing, I love how it looks like a giant djinn, and I love its coloration, too. I can't wait to get my hands on one of these guys, they look so much fun to use!

    I was already a big fan of Hoopa from the moment I saw it (which was about a year ago). It's design looks pretty cool, the Psychic/Ghost typing is something I had been hoping for forever now, and everything about it is just interesting to me. It's Unbound Form is just straight up terrifyingly epic, and I can't wait to have one myself! Hoopa to me really seems like a Pokémon that got a ton of inspiration from different myths and cultures, which I really enjoy in Pokémon. I'm curious to see where Hoopa originates from.

    I really love Hoopa's design. Honestly, I'm really looking forward to how it's presented in the game. I'd rather have an event where you actually have to do something like the Victini event in BW, then an event like Diancie where it's just a really long cutscene.
