People just noticed this on 4chan. It could just be like the tower/Castelia City in B/W, at least it leaves some hope for free movement.

EDIT: Under construction

it destroys any hope for free movement to me, that looks very much like what they did in B/W.

Heh, really? I've been doing it this whole time and nobody's ever told me?

I feel dumb. Lemme see if I can fix it.

just reupload by link to imgur or minus. 4chan content doesn't stay up long.

I dunno. The optimist in me wants to say they wouldn't do that for that small section, but who knows? The turn they took was pretty grid like...

I'll keep hoping.

it probably isn't done for just a small section - the design is probably all over the entire game and B/W was the test bed for it. just think of what you expect the camera to do while you're making that turn - it's going to circle around

They included a pronunciation guide in the press release:

Xerneas = ZURR-nee-us
Yveltal = ee-VELL-tall
Cool, cheers. I genuinely don't know which one I prefer.

I'm a bit sad they're just repeating animals though. There must be some they haven't used...

What i don't get is how they can announce it's release date so far in advance and yet no Animal Crossing release date for the 3DS when the game is already out in Japan...
 
So it looks like I will be getting Pokemon Black 1 so catch me up and fill in the time till XY comes out. Before i pull the trigger is their anything major in White that I will be missing (besides white forest pokemon) I had heard that black is more for items and dueling while white is more for capturing and training... how accurate is that?

White Forest and Black City are worthless unless you come across a lot of people with Black 1 and White 1 in tag mode regularly. If you stop visiting them for a couple days they'll both wither up.

You miss out on nothing, either way.

They have 2 exclusive places. Black has black city which can be used to buy uncommon stuff and battle while White Forest hascertain Pokemon form the past generations that you can only get from there.

The problem with those 2 places tho is that you have to rush through the main game to get there since each place has a certain amount of NPCs that decrease the longer you take to reach them. The less people there, the less useful they are overall unless someone you know has the opposite game to bring more people to them.

They were *fixed*In their sequels tho.
 

They...uh just are.

Honestly though...I just think there's a lot more translating to do in Animal Crossing than there is in Pokemon, and Pokemon is a #1 priority while Animal Crossing is a #2/3 priority to Nintendo. So Animal Crossing gets the short end...maybe. Who knows. I sure as hell don't.

I'm enjoying Black 2 much more than I enjoyed Black 1, heh. Are you buying because of the price difference?
 
Some animals they should do:

Dolphin
(proper) Kangaroo
Whale Shark
Aye-Aye
Sea Krait
Barreleye
Mosquito
Meerkat
Orangutan
Bombardier Beetle
Pistol Shrimp
Mantis Shrimp
Crown-of-thorns Starfish
Fossa
Komodo Dragon

I'm waiting for my Koala, Sabretoothed Tiger, and Platypus Pokemon.

For a school project, I helped my little brother create a Pokedex, types and names and everything! Let me try and find it, it had some Australian pokemon; koala, kangaroo, dingo... had a platypus water/poison too.

Price is not a huge deal for me. I just want the most enjoyable game for my situation (only played Yellow and LOVED it. I will only have time to play like an hour a day. ALso I have been out of the loop in the pokemon world)

Anyone think that Game Freak might make some even bigger changes in addition to the switch to 3D? Like adding new types, the number of Pokemon you can carry, or some other useful addition?

It seems like each generation they've been making small improvements to the over all game mechanics, and Gen V had one of the best ones they ever added (Reuseable TM's). I just hope that since they're already making the big jump to 3D, they will go ahead and vastly improve some of the mechanics of the series that have been the same since the original.... It's really beyond time for it when you think about it

I buy cakes for myself on my birthday it's not weird lots of people do it I bet
I could kinda see that too. I always figured they were lions since there's a noticeable difference between the genders and always thought they were referencing the constellation Leo with the stars on the tails throughout the line.

Well, I do think Luxray has lion-like influences, but I'm pretty sure the line as a whole are more based on Lynx.

Luxio especially has the little Lynx beard.

One thing that annoys me in the games is having to run back and forth to a PokeCenter when training, which BW fixed a bit by introducing healers.

Honestly they should just let your Pokemon slowly heal when you're walking around, and make Healing Items only usable in battles.

Do you guys think these Pokemon games will be on the eShop? I would love to have the game just sitting inside my system without ever worrying about a cart to put in every time someone wants to trade or battle.

Nope.
Why? Simple. The Eshop games mostly cannot play Multiplayer with other games. Lets say they release Pokemon Blue untouched. How could you trade? You could not.
Also, Nintendo know that after Emerald and Ruby, the next Remake they will have to do is Pokemon Green and Red again for the 3DS or the 4DS. They wont ruin the chance of making an extra buck by allowing games to be remade to be playable. Its the same reason why you cannot buy Kirby All stars on the Eshop.

Would reduce the sells of Ultra and Kirby 20th.

Yeah, now I'm thinking they're just loosely based on the great cats in general.

What? NSMB2 didn't have its multiplayer gutted or anything.
