Has a Pokemon game ever looked significantly better than its first reveal? I think there's a fair bit of wishful thinking going on. The graphics just aren't that important to the developers, apparently.

Pokémon 2, aka Gold and Silver went from almost exactly looking like Gen one to looking quite a bit better.

Oh. My. GAWD! I've been wanting them to hurry up and bring it to 3DS and in wonderful 3D. Just watched the trailer. YESS!!!!!! I assume those three shown are the starters. I'm so going Fire this time. Hopefully I'll be in States that time too, save on trouble. So HYPED!

Does the 3 sign on the right mean they reset the Routes' numbers again? I guess they will start from 1 for every new continent they introduce.

The day has finally come. Worldwide simultaneous release for Pokemon games. I can finally stop importing.

ABOUT FUCKING TIME NINTENDO

He's a pretty swell guy in my books anyway.
I know the scale is bigger but it's a bit weird to me that Harmo Knight looks better than this.

Really didn't mean it like that. I sincerely had no idea. Didn't know it was the second biggest series after Mario.

Diamond and Pearl (2006/2007): 17.57 million
Platinum (2008/2009): 7.43 million
HeartGold and SoulSilver (2009/2010): 11.9 million
Black and White (2010/2011): 14.71 million
Black 2 and White 2 (2012): 4.26 million

It's a pretty big deal when a series can sell over 55 million copies on a single system.

New legendaries look YEAH


worldwide release? Great goddamned move Nintendo. I guess they're going to adjust those 3DS western sales

Radiant Historia or Dragon Quest IX. Pretty similar to this (maybe this one have better lighting, but that's about it).

And I'm not really saying it's a bad thing. Trying to make the graphics looks better than it looks is pretty stupid. =/

no way man, this is definitely a step above that. not that i'm claiming it's pushing the 3DS engine, but that stuff isn't much above pokemon black

People who are saying it looks like a n64 game must have forgotten what they look like.

People are mostly complaining about the overworld and the overworld graphics do look weak. The textures actually look straight out of DQIX or something (although that game had to use 2d sprites for the npcs and some of the busier scenes do look better than anything there). The battles are good though.

I cannot with the Legendary Deer having swords as legs.

The more I look at it the more I think that they are like greaves/sheathes.

Try what exactly??? I'm genuinely surprised at how quickly this thread has grown.....

I would've thought most people here would have grown out of Pokemon. I guess not.

Clearly because there is no such thing as new audience.

That Psyduck gif has me hyped. Exploding ducks from my past are gonna do that.

I'm more wondering on how Litwick could do that.

Definitely.

BW's first battle videos looked slow and clunky. Compare that to the one we have now (very fast).

Good catch. It makes sense for them to do that. We'll eventually see route numbers in the triple-digits when they get around to more regions on their American continent.

Series is in decline Nintendo might as well cancel these games

I'm already seeing Fennekin porn.

Fuck you, Internet. FUCK YOU.

OK, hatred of Rule 34 aside... I'm already trying to figure out which version I'm going to eShop and which one I'll get retail. Want to run with all 3 of the starters, quite frankly.

It's really going to be weird not being able to resist the fansites for six months prior to release because of the WW launch though.

Are there no screen caps? Wish the OP had screen caps. Would be nice to check on the road before I'm able to check the ND.

Edited: Okay, seen the ones on this page. Thanks!

That grass starter is one of the coolest looking starters I've seen in a while. This will probably the first time I will start with a grass starter. I always pick the water starter, but that frog is even worse than Mijimaru and I don't really care for that fire fox at all.

Game looks really good and I was surprised by the fact it's coming out worldwide at the same time.
