all my loli wolf companions are so moe
Oh vey
Wait, are you me? I'm feeling exactly the same. Blue was magical, Silver felt "ok", same with Sapphire. Diamond brought the online experience, so it felt good, but to be honest, I bought both Platinum and Soul Silver and haven't even attempted to finish them, I don't feel like. I didn't buy BW or B2W2.
But this game...it feels special. #TeamFroakie

Random thought but what will happen to the anime regarding the worldwide release? The new season, region and Pokemon generally appear when the new games come out, but since it's a worldwide release and Japan is ahead with the anime, what will happen?

I don't feel that way so far. The game looks/sounds good, but the bad overworld graphics and art style make it hard for me to feel totally in awe. From what we've seen thus far, I'd prefer sprites. I hope I'm convinced otherwise, though.
Also, man, Gold/Silver felt like a huge improvement over Red/Blue to me back in the day! I'd say G/S was the height of my Pokemon fandom. I really enjoyed B/W, but it's the versions I've played the least, probably.
I felt like Pokemon started losing that feeling with DPP. Everything got too "future" with the Pokemon designs (especially with the legendaries) and certain towns. BW 1/2 took this 10 step further. BW was just bad imo; Pokemon designs got lazy and less Pokemon-like (e.g., that mummy tomb looking thing... truth be told, it got to the point where I didn't care what they were called anymore). Cities and towns (routes included) in BW were either way too over the top with the "future" look or just stupidly bleak (like the desert).
In my opinion, the OG G/S and RSE got it right. RSE to a lesser extent since some Pokemon designs were ugly, but they got the feeling of the region right.

Yeah, I think this is a case of more fidelity/detail making visualization harder.
True, but I think I'll be satisfied enough now that I won't visualize. I'll look at my mons and feel their feels...I hope.
I'm really impressed by the fact that Froakie gets all up in his face. They went the whole 9, which means they did a lot of fucking work for 700+ pokemon.

You... are me. haha
I'm the same with gold version and D/P. SS/HG and other remakes certainly didn't help.
Yeah, my hope is in this one. Let's go! #TeamChespin
you know what'd be cool? i want to be able to catch pokemon and put them to use outside of my battle team, like Ash and the Squirtle-squad. i don't know what for, exactly, but i've always wanted excuses to catch and train Pokemon and not have them used exclusive for battling. i tend to overlook 99% of the games monsters because of that.
i hope they localize the movie/anime faster and put huge money into marketing the franchise in the US. they had a mini-convention at a mall here during black/white and it was pretty cool. i remember they used to have those a lot more frequently when i was a kid during red/blue.

Perhaps you could use certain Pokemon to cut things in your path. Or perhaps use their mighty strength to move things, or smash pesky rocks. Hell some could do a bit of flashing to light up a dark area and you could use some to surf across a sea, or up a waterfall.
I'd buy it.

Pokemon did that in Battle Revolution. I'd honestly be surprised if they touch the first 493 Pokemon besides cel-shading them.

God, Game Informer are such arse hats.
Thank god the Pokemon guy has class. What a shite of an interview.

Yeah it'd be cool to use the Pokémon to geographically advance, like for example training up Froakie to be able to freeze a pond to cross it, or Chespin to be agile enough to climb a tree and cause vines to grow.
And not just battles cause levelling up but whatever else like general age and experience, finding secret areas or maybe other friendly locals/trainers who can give you or the Pokémon wisdom points.

no that sounds awful, i mean much more mundane things that don't involve having them on you 24/7. capture a bunch of rock and fighting pokemon and send them to build things. raise your chansey and send them to work in a pokecenter.
Chespin is still losing the poll but he is winning in our heart
Very true.
It's the same reason Bidoof caught on as a meme.
I do agree with the Digimon part, but Blaziken was so badass it didn't matter (I don't like him as much in retrospect though).
Tepig is great, aside from being fighting for the 3rd time. Also Gen 5 was very balanced starters' design wise so he didn't shine for me (especially in final forms, they're all baddasses).
Fixed. I'll probably get X too (and Black.. 2).
(I actually choose based on exclusive Pokemon though.)

I would love for a Pokemon ActRaiser, the concept of that if fleshed out would just be amazing. Capture, battle, etc as normal and then zone out as you build and transform your two/three house town into a city.
Hell if we can get a Pokemon/Nobunaga's Ambition, it's not really that absurd.
Man, I so hope we get some evolutions of old Pokemon. That was the one thing I hated about Gen V, since I like looking forward to seeing new evos for older Pokemon.
Also, what do you guys think the starters secondary types are going to be? As long as every starter gets one (Unlike the crap they pulled in B&W with Osh and Snivy's evo line) and the Fenni's isn't another damned Fire/Fighting, I'll be happy. My guess so far is;
Chespin - Grass/Rock or Grass/Ground (His hands and feet look 'Mole' like)
Fennekin - Fire/Flying or Fire/Ice
Frokkie - Water/Psychic or Water/Flying
Hopefully we'll be getting new reveals each issue of CoroCoro. Seriously, the best part about when these games are announced is all the speculation about the games, getting to see leaks of new Pokemon and all the reactions from them.... It's almost more fun than playing the games themselves.

I wonder how the west is going to keep up with the news, if they even do at all?
I saw somebody recommend a smash dojo like website for global news. That could get pretty crazy.

What do you mean by DNA colours? Isn't DNA so small we have to use electron microscopes to see it in the first place?
Gamesradar's speculation is quite convincing:
Source: http://www.gamesradar.com/pokemon-x-y-did-you-spot-everything-trailer/
I'd like for their speculation to be true.
The attacks do look more vicious now in 3D.
RIP.
Man. That looks so good.
EDIT: I wonder if I'm saying that due to how stale the series has been in the past... in comparison to other recent games it (obviously) doesn't look that good but the amount of change in comparison to the older pokemon games is huge.
It's not an accurate term, but it refers to humanoid Pokemon with no clear inspiration source. Not necessarily a bad thing:
Kung Pow Chicken.

Nothing can defeat a dedicated Australian.
That would be Combusken. Blaziken doesn't really resemble a chicken (thankfully).

Edit: Whoops, totally misinterpreted.
Know what I want? A Pokecheck like system of uploading older previous gen Pokemon onto a gts server, and then downloading them into the current gen game. I'm sure there'll be a hacked sixth gen version eventually, but I don't see why GF can't jump in on it and make it a little more official.
It's so much more efficient for transferring older generations of guys onto the current games. I can transfer 20 mons over Pokecheck with the time it'd take me to do a team of six with the Poketransfer.

I think he means the same colors the use in the Japanese Logo's bit of DNA.
I don't remember seeing any of the starters using those moves in the trailer. I just saw attacks like Solarbeam, Flamethrower, and what looked like quick attack. Where did get they impression that they were using Psychic, Dark, Fighting type moves?
If what they say turns out to be true though, I think it would be pretty cool. I like the idea of those typings, especially for starters, since they usually get rather standard secondary types like Flying or Ground.

I wonder if we'll get sprite artists to do Gen V style sprites as well as "mini sprites".
I bet all that votes mr. eatchildren ate were for chespin
which is hilarious because you'd think they'd realize Gen 1 is also plentiful of them.

I was just thinking the same thing. That round patch of grass looks pretty out of place and bad.

Yup. I was trying to think of reasons for it, but I have none.
Now I'm wondering, though... How will water battles, look?
Actually, maybe that's a reason? Patches of sand for platforms in the middle of the ocean? Iunno.
Lily pads? lol
