Hey U Pikachu!
A shame it doesn't look nearly this good in the game. :\
This thing is great. Please don't suck.

Nice, sounds good.

From the rough audio, the instruments used sound much stronger than the DS's soundfont - at least that's my impression. The guitar is sounding great. I need to hear the song in isolation to form an opinion, but it sounds good.
The beginning sounds like a Colosseum track though, lol

It sounds like a remix you'd hear from the anime.

I just noticed that Pikachu says 'Pika!' in the amine thing, but none of the other cries do (even if the older ones sound updated). I actually preferred not having the anime style voices. Not sure how to feel.

He's the mascot of the series, not surprising that he's getting special treatment.

Well, according to the clearer pics, it appears that Pansy is the older sister of Viola, and that she's a journalist working with a publisher based in Lumiose City.
Secondly, after looking at the picture more closely, it appears that the 3 friends, aside from Xavier/Yvonne (who live next to your place apparently) all carry different devices.
Sana looks like she has a purple Vs. Seeker strapped to her bag, Tieruno looks like he has a yellow Pokétch on his wrist, and Toroba is holding some green device that I can't place (thought it was a Pokénav, but it's too different).

You've lost me.
Okay, I see what you are saying. Unfortunately, the 3DS and/or Game Freak is not good enough to pull of his style.

I rewatched the roundtable video and...
Can we talk more about how good Brave Bird looks? I mean, gotdamn!

I posted this earlier. Given all three are starting their journey alongside the PC, I suggested their respective devices might also mean they are from other regions. Maybe they already have starting Pokemon as such.

Ah right, missed that
Though the up-close view, and them actually looking like devices from x-region supports that, I guess.

Maybe, maybe not - would have to find out the context of Horde Encounters to find out if they are actual random wild occurances, or if they're event battles.

I was theorising based on the Professor only having three starter Pokemon and there not been enough for all three characters, as well as the PC and possibly the opposite gender character. The article clearly states that all three are starting their journey with the PC.
It seems like random wild occurrences.

Though it seems like the sort of thing where they'd test out how it works in limited areas - like how Double Wild Battles only occur in tall grass or when you have someone with you, or something like that.
From what I remember from the roundtable they said that they implemented horde battles to balance the game. They didn't want to put powerhouse pokemon in as challenge because people would just catch them and steamroll the game. So instead you'll enounter hordes.
I'm wondering where they sit in terms of difficulty. 1 vs 1 is easiest, wild double battles are a little harder, and I'm guessing horde are the hardest without multi-target moves.

So is Clefairy going to be fairy type or not? Still find it odd that of all the old Pokemon to show getting the new type, Clefairy was not among them...

So as the game progresses, instead of giving you stronger bosses to fight, they just give you more mook level enemies... hmm.
Maybe it varies depending on the level of your initial Pokemon, so as to make low-level training in late game viable. Then they'd have strong Pokemon in more offset areas.
Gotta save something for the July Pokemon Direct
Kalos is split up as Central, Coastal, and Mountain in the Pokedex. Maybe each sub-region has their own device?

You implied that the models were terrible in the 3DS game.
And hey, I wouldn't be so quick to judge on how the game looks like on 3DS screen to see if the models actually look good.

Well, maybe different "sections". If you recall the Pokedex is actually split into Eastern, Central and Western Kalos
That could be it.

Maybe. We apparently will be receiving one of the kanto starters fairly early on in the game.
That's what I first thought of when I heard why they created horde encounters.
That'd be an EXCELLENT way of raising low level pokemon. That combined with the experience scaling system and I could see a pokemon gaining a ton of levels off of just one encounter. Can you imagine how much experience a horde of Audino would give you?

Oh god the bigger scans...
The trainer you didn't pick is the rival it seems!
Also horde battle = easier EV training

So is the reign of the dragon type finally over?
I don't think so, but they become more balanced.
They're still powerful, but they have a major counter now

fyi é is hold alt then type 1, 3, and 0 in order
Ice is good Ground counter among other things. Ice type is essentially good move type but a poor defense type.
