When's the demo come out? These previews are making me excited

They played the opening of the game, not the demo.

Good to know, won't read/watch those then.

Can someone quote the technical part of the previews? (Example: Framerates, Battles, how the gameplay feels)

i don't want to be spoiled about the actual content of the Demo

Didn't he literally say this will be the same we play In The demo though? Or did I hear him wrong, I'm at work.

Edit: my mistake you are right.

He said it was the same first two hours as the actual game. The demo is something different.

FelipeMGM · Oct 12, 2016

Game changer!

Furthermore, once you've landed an attack on a particular Pokémon you'll be able to see next to each one of your moves whether it's effective, not very effective, super effective, or has no effect. These new features aren't going to make much difference to any hardcore Pokémon Trainer, but for those for whom the myriad of types and moves are too vast to keep track of it's an extremely helpful addition.

I have the worst memory ever for types stuff, so heck yeah

I want to know if Pokemon Moon/Sun have a DexNav like feature, where you can see what Pokemon you can catch in an area and if you already caught them or not.

I like this and will greatly help my seven year old who will be playing Pokémon for the first time.

You can get some mild spoilers in the eurogamer interview.

Sterok · Oct 12, 2016

Looks great, as Sun and Moon have been thus far. This is the sort of iteration/evolution Pokemon has been desperately missing, and the overall presentation and feel of the game seem to be much improved.

This is a major feature for me as well. I feel like it made the random encounters serve a more meaningful purpose as it raised the chance if getting better pokemon.

WrenchNinja · Oct 12, 2016

Game explain saying the battles are slow again compared to RSE and Black/White/B2/W2

At least he didn't say it was 4th Gen slow

Still a bummer though

Exactly.

Yeah I saw that as well, but he was comparing it to BW, which was super fast, as opposed to XY/ORAS so I don't know if it's any better or worse.

Edit: Just saw your edit.

Syntsui · Oct 12, 2016

One of my biggest concerns has been confirmed, slow battle pace even with animations off

Forkball · Oct 12, 2016

Oh snap the Nintendo Insider preview states that Kukui

went to Kanto to fight the gym leaders in the past.

Random bit of info, some attacks seems to have been tweaked, for example tackle is now at 40 base power says gamekult a french site http://www.gamekult.com/actu/preview-pokemon-soleil-pokemon-lune-A169541.html

Did we know that the player was from Kanto?

The soundtrack has less tracks than XY, so I doubt it.

Makes sense, 50 was too much of a buff for such an early game attack.

S/M are looking really good. I haven't felt this hyped for a Pokémon game since HGSS.

It has less music but still manages to be almost twice the size of the last games? God damn.

I wonder if cut, aerial ace, water shurikens and double team will be tweaked due to ash greninja using them in the anime with great success.

Because of all the trainers having models, better graphics, and things like this

I totally skipped that part. I'm calling it now:

Sou Da · Oct 12, 2016

Alolan Meowth is on one of the first routes

Blackquill · Oct 12, 2016

Also it seems like the framerate is better but I guess the demos were on New 3DS, I hope it's still cool on O3DS

And there is no 3D at all now

I thought the soundtrack seems even larger than XY?

The soundtrack has 175 tracks compared to XY's 212. There's bonus tracks to take into account sure, but Sun/Moon will likely have some as well, along with 15 tracks from XY that are also said to be on the soundtrack.

You sure? It's entirely possible that the Nintendo Rep was wrong or the previewer thinks some Gen 1 Pokemon are from Gen 2 and Gen 3.

I want to believe but I'll be incredibly disappointed if I do and it ends up being Gen 1 only.

Ezalc · Oct 12, 2016

Gen 2 as in seeing Ledyba. I would love to see alolan forms for anything other than gen 1 pokemon, but nothing has been shown, hinted at, or even from those supposed leaks that seems to support this which is extremely disappointing.

Seil · Oct 12, 2016

WrenchNinja said:

For what it's worth, they saw Rattata, Meowth and a third they were told not to talk about. But that could easily be Grimer or some other Kanto Pokemon.

They mentioned Gold and Ruby while talking about variants specifically. But there's also nothing to back up the idea that they saw a Gen 2 or 3 variant. It could've been an assumption.

JoeM86 · Oct 12, 2016

Do note that Japan calls the concept of Alola Forms "Region Forms", so even if they are only Gen 1 now, it's probable that the concept will be continued in future games

"and another one I'm not allowed to talk about."

Granted, he might've just saw alolan grimer or something. I also think this guy's assuming.
