X and Y Wifi battle

Wow, I never thought they'd do this style for the 3DS. Kind of awesome, it's not 2-D style anymore (though I do love the 2-D style so I wouldn't have minded if they continued with that). ^^

X and Y Wifi battle

Good gravy, that's amazing! I'm even more excited than before! (And that Sylveon...)

I'm thinking that Wi-Fi battling and ev training and such is going to be much more popular due to the new ev training system. I'm hoping they make it easy in game instead of wasting hours.

A new EV training system, you say?

Is anyone going to bother with the game guide? I'm thinking of getting it with my pre-order but I'm not sure if it's worth it.

I was thinking the same thing,... but I might not buy it because I'm a leader not a follower! ha! just messing

There's a new thing called 'Super Training' where you do mini games to increase your Pokemon's stats. There's also a way to visualize how much EVs a Pokemon has via the new 'Effort-o-Meter'.

That's awesome!

Yeah, it sounds pretty cool. I like how they're seemingly making it easier for anyone to jump into the competitive metagame. I might actually consider building a team to tackle whatever version of the Battle Frontier/Battle Subway these games will have this time around.

 

[Cobber]

Yeah it does sound like they're making it easier, which is good I suppose. That's a good idea!

 

[Chromie]

I love Pok?mon been playing since Gen 1. This is going to be my first time ever EV training because of much easier it looks me. I'm actually kind of nervous about it.

 

[Cobber]

I still have Pokemon Yellow...
If only I had a working system to play it

Why oh why hasn't Nintendo decided to take more of my money by putting Gen 1/2 on the virtual console?!

 

[Sheepish]

Heck, I'd be happy if they just put in some of the spin-off games. I'd love to be able to play Pokemon TCG or Pinball.

I've never played Pok?mon Trozei. I'd settle for that one.

Personally, the reason why I think they didnt give any gen 6 pokemon mega evos is because we don't know them. Like the reason we love mega evolutions is because we've pretty much grown to know and love the pokemon from gen 1-5. So when they get a mega evo we're like 'omg' because it's like our old favorites are getting a new style. Plus it gives the long time fans something new as they bring the old pokemon back, and gives the newer fans some more pokemon.

We barely know the 6th gen pokemon, so them getting a mego evoultion might as well just be considered a regular evolution because we're not familiar with them. It wont have the same effect if Xerneas got an evolution as opposed to something like Charizard. Think about it.

does that make sense or..?

That does make sense, my irk is more at the only 1 mega-evo at a time. ~ which kinda counteracts this seeing as if any 6th gen pokemon were not our current mega, we wouldn't be ignoring them because they weren't going to mega-evolve, we'd still be using them and getting to know them.
But yes it is nice that the older 'mons are getting some extra glory.


Also I just found this. (translated)
"Hironobu Yoshida: This time with the shiny Pok?mon, from the perspective of a designer, try out more colors, making them more rare. The possibility of finding one is very low, but I think it will be very exciting when you find one."

Does this mean that there might now be more than 1 shiny of each pokemon? I heard a whisper and found This (auto-translated from Portuguese)
I hope Lati@s get orange and purple shinies in this case, I can have a rainbow Lati team!

Pokemon Trozei was my first DS game, ha!

 

[Jake]

I think by 'try out more colors' he meant just using a wider variety of colors on shiny pokemon so they don't look boring like druddigen and all them.

So, does anyone know if the Pokemon Bank is going to be replacing the original box system? Or at least affecting it in some way that tries to make us buy the subscription to the Pokemon Bank?

 

[oath2order]

The Bank is an optional thing. The Box system in games is still there.
