To wait for the inevitable Pokemon Z or not?

Please be 60fps. Please don't have a slow battle system due to the new graphics engine again.

 

[lordfroakie]

Anyone else noticed biodomes in the trailer?

 

[Rebel Leader]

 

[jokkir]

Nintendo be starting off 2013 with a bang.

And ending with a bang releasing the games

 

[Luigiv]

Why hasn't anyone considered X Y and Z as in planes? Height, width, and depth?

Because that would be "i, j and k" instead. /Engineer troll

 

[Mistle]

Pumped to play this! And I haven't said that about a Pokemon game in a good while. (Even if I still play them anyway )

 

[BY2K]

3DS saved.

No joke.

 

[FreeMufasa]

Let me make my black trainer or no buy

 

[User 73706]

In keeping with tradition of past games, Generation 6 will most likely be "linked" with Generation 4 similar to 2 and 4 or 3 and 5. Hence all the French motifs. Be prepared for potentially shittier designs if they're channeling that.

 

[BassForever]

To wait for the inevitable Pokemon Z or not?

Get both X/Y and Z, you know you wanna

 

[BriBri]

My only disappointment is I expected a "Red and Blue available now in eShop" at the end of the presentation Still, can't wait!

 

[Hours Left]

Yup, still team Chespin.

 

[Nocturnowl]

3D visuals and new pokemon, my lofty wish list has been attained.
Though it looks like it's possibly going to be a mere Gen 2 and 4 style outing for the new pokemon, bah, well anyway Froakie is currently my boy but evolutions could change that, I need to see more new pokemon.

Worldwide release is great because now I don't need to be tempted to look up all the new pokemon come the Japan release and therefore can bring back the thrill of stumbling into the grass and finding a new pokemon, this might be what hypes me most of all.

 

[zroid]

Wow. Guess I didn't realize that Pokemon was so popular still. Or is this just a GAF thing?

Man, out of the loop much? Pokemon is still huge all over the world.

 

[bloodforge]

Looks great.

Loving the frog starter.

 

[NeonZ]

Hm... after watching a video, I like the graphical style. through the trainer's animation while running through the city looks very rough. I'm happy to see that they actually went with cell shading for the Pokemon battles, rather than leaving them looking like plastic dolls. On the other hand, I wish they hadn't gone with SD designs for humans. Still, I guess that leaves something for the next Pokemon gen.

 

[90TilInfinity]

Chespin and Froakie are up there as far as starters go. So dope. Got a weird feeling Fennekin will have the best final evolution though.

Flying legendary was X? Looks like I'm getting X.

 

[Gc-Freak]

First official pictures of the games:

[Bagu]

And as always, I will be adventuring with the fire type. The Best type.

 

[outunderthestars]

Japan has a Tokyo Tower.

Pikachu was atop the Eiffel Tower in the intro.....

 

[The Awesomest]

The thing that I noticed is that they didn't show artwork for the trainers yet, which they usually do at their reveals. Could this mean there will be an element of trainer customisation?

They showed sprites of both male and female trainers, and they both seemed to have the same outfits.

 

[Sage00]

Fennekin's Japanese name is Fock?

Fokko.

Pikachu was atop the Eiffel Tower in the intro.....

But the electricity clearly comes out of the UK. Must be Blackpool tower. (lol)

 

[Aaron Strife]

Man, 3DS has a loaded 2013, at least in Japan.

 

[Ashodin]

 

[Ushojax]

 

[eXistor]

Looks good to me, nothing new from the look of the trailer, but at least the game finally has some visual flair to it.

 

[Reyne]

Aside from the game looking like something made for N64, I guess its okay. I don't honestly see why Pokemon has to be 3D ( aside from it being on the 3DS, so they must have threeedeeee ) since it is still the same old Pokemon. At least the starters actually look cool this time around.

 

[Mejilan]

Holy fuck!

 

[fisheyes]

The megaton here is that the first version is the 'Blue' version and the second is the 'Red'. I always pick the 'Blue' version, but also the second one - my world is tearing apart.

God thing the always trusty water starter is super awesome as always.

 

[oconnomiyaki]

Holy shit, that's so totally hilarious and unintentionally sinister. Like some kind of Pokémon Deliverance.

 

[Izayoi]

Fire/Psychic fox. Believe it.

 

[GraveHorizon]

I really need to finish SoulSilver and Black before I see too much of this and don't want anymore 2D Pokemon.

Also, 3DS 3Deemed?

 

[deleted]

I thought it was the other way around, Y is the horns, X is the bird's wings, and maybe like a split tail or something? Need to look at them again.

Made more sense to me too, but the wings are the Y and the legs of the Stag are the X.

Iwata knew how to play my nostalgia. Seeing the original Gameboy with Pokemon running again... Now I'm interested in the game again. Only played Red, Yellow and Diamond.

 

[Nudull]

Well, damn. I may just upgrade to an XL for this. Day one, indeed.

Also, Team Chespin represent.

 

[MCD]

Maybe this will get me back to Pokeman.

 

[Pooya]

looks kind of hit and miss, some places look ok, others very bad.

 

[clay_ghost]

water starter for me!

 

[Hours Left]

Maybe Fennekin will be like Snivy and get way better once it evolves.

It's got a G/S and D/P vibe, true, but I think Game Freak's gotten good enough to get past generational trends more and more. We'll just have to wait and see.

Team Froakie for me right now—I might change to Fennekin in a bit, it depends. The starters are solid this time.

 

[Hiltz]

The poor bastards at Game Freak must never get any vacation time off. I tried to get out of it, but Nintendo may very well pull me back into the world of Pokemon.

 

[Kazerei]

Chespin and Froakie are up there as far as starters go. So dope. Got a weird feeling Fennekin will have the best final evolution though.

Flying legendary was X? Looks like I'm getting X.

I think the flying legendary was shaped more like a Y. And the four-legged legendary was shaped like an X.

 

[TrutaS]

OMG this absolutely delivered. Now I'll really have to buy a 3ds!

Graphics look great to me, but it's the whole feeling that gives this game a much needed change from the series staples - especially the battles. Also love all 3 starter designs and the legendaries (the stag is just beautiful).

Was not expecting to be this satisfied.

 

[Fowler]

Um, that is an unfortunately framed still...

 

[Supreme Stephan]

Male trainer kinda looks like Red with that hat.

 

[spidye]

definitely set in europe this time

 

[T.O.P]

Froakie is awesome


OMG i'm gonna buy an XL as soon as this comes out

 

[Rubius]

Fire starter is always the most badass.

Water is always the safe bet.

 

[BriBri]

Holy shit, that's so totally hilarious and unintentionally sinister. Like some kind of Pokémon Deliverance.

I LOLed!
