I always pick the water starter, this one's growing on me already. They all look pretty silly though. Hope their evolutions are better.

Hell yes to customization being back.

Loving everything we've seen so far. Starters look better in motion than the pic suggest. I'll be team sun, and maybe Litten. I always agonize over these choices!!!

That video is a such a lie.

Region locking would had prevented that kid from playing an American copy of Pokemon Sun and Moon on his Japanese 3DS.
Don't you choose a language when you start up a 3DS Pokémon game? He could have an NA 3DS and chosen Japanese when he started the game.

They weren't doing anything new or interesting with it and you could see them working their way up to this in Lumiose and Mauville in OR/AS.

If they can't hit a steady framerate with a static camera the least they could do is try to keep up with their competition.
Oras was so boring that I haven't made it past the first gym.

Ironically I'm kinda glad there's a Europe delay, plenty of time for the starters to appear on the GTS. Gonna have all three dammit!

Thank god they re-did the main pokemon theme. Gen 6's versions was awful.



People are shitting on Litten? But it's the only good one.

It has a nice design, but it's a cat so it's automatically garbage tier for me.


Rowlet is clearly the best, just look at the bowtie. Dude's definitely going to get lei'd.

Oh seriously, delayed in Europe again? So all the details will be spoiled and all over the Internet before Europe gets its hands on it. Awesome.

Kinda killed my hype a little bit, the game looks awesome and the Pokemon are great, but seriously fuck that delay.

Poppolo is growing on me out of adorable derpiness. Rowlet is cool because it's a grass owl. The others I don't like very much. :/


Thanks, those look great too! But I meant like, the ridiculously high res kind.

That video is a such a lie.

Or will it? Dun dun dun

Okay, this is too cute

Alright fine it looks cute now.
 
I was wrong and we got a lot of things and I apologize for being a dick and saying we wouldn't see all the things we saw.

It is a fitting punishment that we didn't see the female trainer, the only thing I wanted to see.

Justice is cruel.


The female trainer is in the trailer. Look at the beginning when they start battling. She's behind the Owl. It's brief bit there's a couple of glances of her.

Do the longer descriptions mean expanded Pokedex entries or is that something they usually do for reveals like that? Because I'd love the former. Especially if it shows them off like the second batch of art does on the site.

That 3d transition, makes me think that the next game gonna be on NX.

I hope this game doesn't end up behind small because of the graphics.

You can see Meowth in the JP trailer:

Oras was so boring that I haven't made it past the first gym.

Not really an argument in favor of grids when R/S/E was one of the last compelling and non-railroaded grid overworlds we had. If the transition to 3D somehow makes it boring, it's a good thing they're trying something new.
 
It's been a good bit since I've liked all 3 starters. Litten will be my first pick and actually the first time I pick a fire starter first since Gen 2. The water type is different but I can see some awesome evolution ideas. Litten though is freakin great. Might be Fire/Dark after evolution?

Can't believe they dropped the Chibi style, though. Everything in the world is now proportionate.

Also Hawaii is a great pick, and I'm glad it's not Europe.

From the looks of the male trainer customization is definitely in, that boy is as generic as last gens.

Honestly not sure which version I want. I actually like Moons legend a lot. Guess it'll be down to the exclusive Pokemon.

In for #TeamMoon and #TeamRowlet, even though the grass starter is 4x weak to Ice yet again.

You think they're still punishing Europe for breaking street date for Pokémon X/Y?

Still dont know about which version I will get but Im between the water and grass starters, maybe grass this time because I choose Oshawott in 5 and Froggie in 6
 
Prediction: the 3rd legendary will be Eclipse-themed and purple and white.

EDIT> An eclipse makes more sense because it's sun + moon, and the name Marshadow got trademarked.

I guess proportionate is gonna make it easier to bring the following around feature back in the future. Not now though, huh. :(
