Not that there's anything wrong with that.

There's probably a good chance of some yellow Pikachu 3DS XL eventually too. Oh wait.

Oh my god. I would murder a puppy for that shiny charizard 3DS

 

[kittens]

I desaturated them a little.

That looks a lot better, imo. Also, I think I might snag that avatar.

 

[Velcro Fly]

Just let me catch a damn Gastly in this game.

 

[Gravijah]

You might be out of luck. D/P's first trailer used the in game Pokemon theme as well.

B2W2 also had this. One or two songs isn't a big deal, but I would not enjoy a completely orchestral OST.

Songs like Ghetsis (B2W2) are amazing, especially the Fauxtar used. And Neo Team Plasma is easily the best Team theme in the series.

 

[Lord_Byron28]

More ghost and mixed ghost types.. i mean everyone with a sense of style knows they're the coolest looking

Yes. Ghosts have always been my favorite since Haunters existence. Gen 2 was dissapointing. Gen 3 brought bannete, shedinja and duskull. Gen 4 had our first ghost legendaries, froslass and drifblim although the ghost concept is so underused. I liked a some of the ghosts in gen 5 like jellicent and the best designed ghost Lampent.

Your avatar reminds me, GameFreak needs to hop on the weird Nintendo obsession bandwagon and create an Eggplant Pokemon.

Remember in Pearl and Diamond how you could hear on the TV and Radio how your friends you played IRL with ? Well that might be that. Imagine having a random trainer challenging you to a fight in front of a Dojo, who happen to be a real player IRL. You could customize your catch line and stuff like that. Could be cool.

 

[Aguila]

Yes! Froakie is still in "second."

Quick Attack the competition, Froakie.

 

[Lulubop]

The biggest thing keeping me from getting an Xl is the color options here in NA.

 

[Fracas]

I wish we could get starters that were different types.

Huh, didn't think to check out the B/W 2 trailer. Who knows.

Agree to disagree. I hear this and can't help but get excited thinking about it.

Spoiler

And I personally thought the dennis dance remix was horrible. Ghetsis' original theme was so much more solemn, the B/W 2 version killed that.

Blue look nice.

 

[Laughing Banana]

Since when EatChildren is a pokemon?

 

[Zaventem]

I honestly thought they were just going to have a 3d models with limited movements like the 3DS pokedex pokemon, with the typical attack animations we've always had but better done in 3d.they really went all out.

 

[Sigismundo]

I'm waiting on that fully black one that got bundled with Monster Hunter.

 

[spiritfox]

Ahh Fennekin is still my bro but all that Chespin fanart is so cute >.<

 

[Verelios]

I wish we could get starters that were different types.

What, like a dark type starter. Because I would be all over that option.

...But who would choose Normal?

 

[Kiryu]

I'll love to say that move as "Thief".

 

[Unicorn]

Only 50ish new Pookermen, eh? Drat.

B/W spoiled me. D:

Where did you get that? Maybe this time they will give evolutions to pokemon that have been waiting 15 years....

LOL

 

[Kyon]

Seethe

 

[Parallax]

If you want to compare by their original art:

I didn't realize that the colors stay constant for starters throughout the gens. Pretty cool.

 

[Kyon]

and

 

[Boss Doggie]

Seethe

It does fit PopGAF

 

[Zee-Row]

I hope this game has DLC stuff.

 

[Parallax]

and

Shit, even if I was a hater there's no way to dispute that.

 

[Kyon]

we do pokemon stan wars occasionally over there lol

 

[Hours Left]

Hey guys, what are these?

They're fun.

 

[Kyon]

^from Manga gaf

So i hope there is co op *.*

 

[Esiquio]

So yeah, I really hope Shuckle is in this.

My favorite Pokémon ever. I have never seen you around GAF, but judging from your avatar I already like you.

Edit: Just saw your tag and realized that you're the anti-gameplay guy with the batshit insane Miyamoto topic. Cool point rescinded!

 

[Kiryu]

I hope this game has DLC stuff.

What kind of DLC would it be then?

 

[Vermillion]

Is the guy who did those taking requests? I kind of want one.

And of course, does he do comic characters? (I'm thinking of Captain Marvel and Yvern).

If not, I'll go with Sena.

Shoulda been faster! Masuda should allow some straight Speedcore into the next game. He knows he wants to.

He only made them for MangaGAF regulars.

Spoiler

Otherwise I'd be rocking Kamina.

 

[IntelliHeath]

Play Pokemon every day, or your Pokemon will be weak sauce and you will be crushed by even the likes of Youngster Joey.

More random thoughts

- They took the "versions" out of the titles. Wonder if that means anything?

- I'm willing to bet we'll see some sort of fusion mechanic. They already opened that can of worms in B/W 2, and the titles/logos point towards DNA and gentetics being prevalent.

- PokeFrance sounds pretty cool. Looks like they reset the route system again. I wonder if that's just the new standard, or if PokeFrance is far away from the other regions like Unova was?

- I hope the music in the trailer points to an orchestra based soundfont. B/W's first trailer definitely used the in-game Pokemon theme, so it's looking like this is the case.

- Gyms are back, I saw the symbol that the B/W gyms used in the trailer for just a second. Don't think anybody doubted this, but there's confirmation anyway.

- I don't care if the overworld has jaggies, I don't care about FPS, just give me the smooth fluid battles from B/W. If they're anything slower than that, I'm going to be pretty disappointed.

-The over 700 Pokemon thing could mean anything. They said over 600 for B/W and we got 649, they said over 400 for D/P and we got 493. Don't get too freaked out.

Manga character only.

 

[PK Gaming]

Yes! Froakie is still in "second."

Quick Attack the competition, Froakie.

If thats quick attack, I don't think i'll ever get rid of that move haha

 

[Vermillion]

Manga character only.

Damn.

Fuck.

If thats quick attack, I don't think i'll ever get rid of that move haha

Extremespeed would probably look like a new level of godly.

 

[CipherT]

I really hope the legendarys are not dragon type.

Well one has to be a deer kind of legendary but I couldn't agree more, kinda hope they do something different other than flying legendarys(If there are more than the two we have seen.)

 

[PorygonVandal]

If thats quick attack, I don't think i'll ever get rid of that move haha

Personally I think it's Close Combat

 

[ColtraineGF]

Oh man, I wish that was Quick Attack. Best move animation I've seen thus far. #TeamFroakie

 

[Chet Rippo]

Personally I think it's Close Combat

I didn't even think of that, but it could be.

 

[BriseFlots]

What if it's a completely new move?

 

[Anuxinamoon]

The moves do look cool!

But having said that, no matter how good the anims are, I'll still be turning them off for all battles except gym leaders and E4's.

 

[enzo_gt]

Personally I think it's Close Combat

Instantly best starter if it knows Close Combat that early on.

 

[Boss Doggie]

On a related note...

What with the worldwide release at the same time, and the 3DS still unhacked so far, it really will be going into the game blind.

IT'LL BE AN AWESOME EXPERIENCE YOU GUYS!

Personally I think it's Close Combat

What if it's the dark version of Close Combat (Pressure Points)?

 

[Unicorn]

Instantly best starter if it knows Close Combat that early on.

Expect move animations to be reused. Quick attack will look like Close Combat, except maybe some particle effects will be different.

Also, don't expect more than these animations for each pokemon:

-idle
-physical attack
-special attack
-getting hit

 

[Vermillion]

Instantly best starter if it knows Close Combat that early on.

Starters always use moves they get way later in early footage. Fire types are always using Flamethrower, Water types use Hydro Pump, grass uses Solar Beam (or something leafy).

 

[Partition]

and

screaming

 

[Koodo]

The attacks do look more vicious now in 3D.

RIP.

 

[pock3tmonster]

From all of the negative discussion of Froakie's design at the beginning of this thread, I'm surprised to see Froakie taking the lead as GAF's favourite starter. I'm completely in favour of Team Froakie though! Froakie is just awesome. I have to give thanks to Gamefreak for maintaining killer design choices when it comes to the Water starters.

 

[GamerSoul]

I love how chespin is smiling afterwards like he just release a good energy fart.
