E3: Pokemon X and Y Presentation/Q&A (June 11, 6PM PT)
- Thread starter serplux
- Start date
Roundtable for the press
Basically, the developers design it to be a handheld franchise, a game that you take with you where you go to battle and trade. Many aspects of the game are hinged on local multiplayer due to this. While some aspects can be done online, the developers feel it'd lose the entire ethos of Pokémon to make it on a home console

Watch them slap a hefty embargo on this so we don't find anything out until after launch. D:
This is possible. They're not allowing photos or video recording. We'll find out on the day
This is sounding more and more like a sick twisted social experiment to see how badly they can torture the fans. :-\

This kind of thing is why I chose journalism as my career path. Screw the low pay; it'll all be worth it once I'm one of the guys in there psychologically torturing you~

It seems like some of the information in this thread might be partially true, especially with the Pokemon Direct. What do you guys think?

Also, Pokémon for consoles would ve very expensive to develop and I don't think it would bring more audience. And it would kill the portable versions.
Do you remember the Smash Bros reveal? Similar to that. I'm sure people will be liveblogging it.

Drat and I'll have to leave in the middle of it to go to work...oh well, I'll just read up on the info later. May just avoid watching it then because it'd suck too much to get excited and then deal with the buzz kill of having to leave in the middle.
Your guess is as good as ours.
This isn't a Pokémon Direct. It's one of the classic roundtables they have at every E3
It's hard to say, though there is a considerable amount that can be covered.
My bet is a segment on the history, of stuff leading up to this. Then new details, then the Q & A...basically spreading around the 90 minutes like that
Absolutely not. Don't fret, they would never do such a thing

Apart from the fact that it isn't a Pokémon Direct, it isn't on that day, and there is no June 10th Direct.
Apart from that...

Maybe it means a lot of changes/new features are going to be in X/Y.
Pokemon are supposed to be traded on the schoolyard. Kinda hard to do that with a console game -- though, I guesa kids could become Super Nerd and carry the Wii U GamePad with them everywhere they go. They just need a power plug for that damn console.

I'm being generous with highlight key changes. Nintendo has done 90 minute E3 roundtables in the past and they've usually talked about 5 titles as well as hardware and services for the future. I'm sure they can draw out the conference long enough to make it that long but this is something they wanted to spend the money and time on. At an E3 where there will be the next 3D Mario platformer, 2 Zelda titles, Mario Kart, SSB, 2 yoshi titles, and whatever other titles/ third party partnerships it seems odd they would dedicate the entire 90 minutes to Pokemon when in the past they've usually had the roundtables dedicated to multiple key titles.
That's why people are puzzled, it either means they will talk about more than X/Y or they have a ton of content/changes they want to relay and discuss.

This is how I feel as well. I'd be asking a lot of questions that aren't really interesting for the general gaming media, but those 90 minutes would fly by.
I hope there's some actual journalists that have some Pokemon knowledge present at the roundtable, because like 95% of the gaming press I know has no idea what the average Pokemon fan would want to know about X and Y.
He just mentioned some bullet points. It all depends on how in depth they want to go with the presentation, and considering the large amount of content every Pokemon game has, they can go really in depth.

Pokémon news? E3?!? 90 MINUTES?!?
I'm calling it, you can play Pokémon X and Y on your Wii U. There will be a feature that will allow you to stream the game onto the Wii U with the Gamepad as your touch screen.

So I guess after this we'll be seeing PokéBOMB V: The Final Frontier!
This would be godly.
She went to the dark side. Not gonna be an option.
I'm gonna have to find out who's going from NWR so I can, ahem, brief them *coughmegatondiggingcough*

Either that or PokéBOMB V: The Phantom Game.

Out by Christmas in Japan and April for the US.
Remember that they never released one for the 5th Gen, but they have all those shiny new Pokedex 3D models.

If this isn't being streamed online, and they won't be allowing photos or video to be taken....then I wonder how much time they'd really be likely to spend on relatively pointless things like franchise history and background information. As has already been pointed out, the 90 minute E3 Roundtables done by Nintendo previously have covered 4-5 games. I believe those typically also included Q&A segments too, didn't they? I find it hard to believe they'd use this to solely talk about Pokémon X/Y, given that. Sure, there might be a lot of info left to announce, but you'd expect Pokémon Smash and CoroCoro to have us covered for that. And if they're telling these journalists things that haven't already been announced in Smash or CoroCoro....what's the point of that exactly? Wouldn't they be shooting themselves in the foot by not streaming that online, in that case?

I wonder if Gamefreak will do away with the mandatory "HM slave" every party cannot be without.
As someone who has stake (lol) in the PokéBOMB threads, I say this should be the PokéBOMB thread, the title being:
PokéBOMB V: E3, The Final Frontier

Does that Pokedex even contain all 650 pokemon? Also they'd have to add like 100+ from gen VI. Suddenly it makes a lot of sense that Pokemon console games are few and far between.
And I actually loved Colloseum and XD

Holy shit, 90 minutes?
Even I probably couldn't talk about Pokemon for 90 minutes.
