Pokémon Pokemon General

[Jake]

The Pokedex intro screen (I assume that's what it is) looks really interesting.

omfg this is amazing why did it take so long to figure this out...

I feel as if it will eventually be full. Fills up as you see more and more pokemon?

Colored pokemon = caught
Blacked out Pokemon = seen
Blank spaces = not seen
at least that's what I'm gathering

The Regis seem to still be available in the same way.

you could see pics of brail in the coro coro pics so we already knew this yesterday but its nice to have an HQ pic

I really hope that Episode Delta isn't something that you have to obtain at an event. I hope it's just a side story that you obtain post-elite 4. I guess only time will tell

doubt it. almost certain it's a side story. If it was an event they would have announced it by now - Just like how they announced the shiny Beldum event as soon as they announced mega metagross, and they announced the Eon ticket event as soon as they announced the soaring feature. So if this was an event they would've said so by now.


Anyway, some other things worth noting that I don't think have been mentioned..

Spoiler

so it seems that there will be some ties to Kalos in ORAS... or at least the great war maybe we get AZ's Floette in these games

the leaks were kinda of disappointing to me but only because i wanted more megas LOL

The Delta Episode thing looks cool though, it's nice to see more changes from the originals instead of just straight-up remakes!
zinnia for best new character pls =)

I hope that there will be more megas

Same, I couldn't see Jake's reply until a few seconds ago.

One of the diver's said something about swimming back to Kalos in the demo so I think it's safe to assume Kalos will have some form of relevance, what with it canonically being where Mega Evolution was discovered (right?).

Yes - but the diving example was a bad choice lol. In X&Y there is a guy who is like 'I'm gonna swim all the way to Hoenn", and it's obvious the guy in the demo is just a throwback to the guy in X&Y

I wonder how they'll handle the National Dex. Scrolling?

I guess it'll either be a page system or scrolling like it has been for a while

More events announced for Japan.
A shiny Mega Charizard Y or a shiny Pikachu can be picked up at the new Tokyo Pokemon Center.
And at Jump Festa in December they'll be distributing QR codes for Super Secret Bases and a special Linoone.

Yay. :V

Am I the only one who wishes that they don't give us the Exp Share as a Key Item this go around? It was nice in X/Y but it made the game loose what little complexity it had. I didn't really like how I just slaughtered every Gym Leader/Elite 4/Team Flare member in X/Y. Sure, we have the option to disable it, but I'd at least like to have the option to sell it again.

i like it because then i can quickly level up pokemons that i dont wanna bother actually using to fight. LIKE:

i use my lv. 100 yveltal (which holds amulet coin) and starter braixen, get whatever pokes i need to level up and keep them with me (if theres one that needs a LOT of leveling up, i give it the lucky egg), go to le wow, use lv. 2 prize money and exp point O-powers and BOOM.
rolling in the pokedollars.

From how things look it seems the game is a lot easier than the original R/S, with Gym Leaders generally having lower levels. It's a change that I hope they revert. Black & White weren't the hardest games either, but they did have some of the highest leveled Gym Leaders and E4 members in the series on the first run through.

They should either revert it to a normal item like you said, rather than the G1-style Exp. Share we got, or bring back the Challenge Mode from B2/W2 and make you unable to use the Exp. Share in that. Higher levels for trainers and the inability to use the Exp. Share would be great.

But the OR/AS data doesn't seem to have changed in that sense, so I think that for these games we're also looking at piss-easy games. Pokemon was never hard, but X/Y's lack of any sort of difficulty was disappointing.

Which seems highly dissapointing. I know Pokemon isn't supposed to be overly difficult, as it never has been. However, I don't want it to be so easy as to where I can easily roll over the 3rd Gym Leader and beat the Criminal Organization's Leader with no issue. I want somewhat of a challenge, much how it used to be Pre-Black/White. I feel as though once Black & White hit the scenes, everything got childishly easy.

there will be! I just wanted to see more right now

 

[Hibiki]

People keep saying that there won't be more megas as there wasn't any data in the demo.

Do you really think Gamefreak would be stupid enough to leave them in the demo? :x

They left Hoopa Forme in, plus a bunch of other data that is completely irrelevant to the demo, so yes.

You could argue yes because they left in Hoopa and it's Form/Mega.

^Well apparently they left titles for 5 tracks in Mario Karts DLC pack 2 in with pack 1. But we know that there's going to be 8 tracks, so that's 3 more that weren't even mentioned, or even had a line of code where they would be.

So while I think they were stupid to leave some data behind, it doesn't mean that was all the data there was at all. Besides how many megas in XY did we not know about until the game released? Quite a few I seem to recall.

Of course, so I'm hoping that there's still Megas left undiscovered.
