It looks cool. I haven't played a Pokemon game in a while so I'm probably in day 1. As for the graphics they look really good at times especially some of the lighting and then really bad at times some of the really low poly low textured vistas. Mixed bag IMO.

Still I'm down!

 

[Nilaul]

Looks nice. I like the stag, and I'll probably take the grass starter (well, maybe fire...plenty of time to change my mind).

I wonder if there will be a way to turn off battle animations. They could really slow things down.

Theres always been an option to do that.

 

[Berordn]

Not sure.

Can't request something you haven't seen over GTS, but individual players can trade anything they want.

 

[backlot]

So uh, the way they made the game "fully 3d", is by zooming in on the character and changing the camera angle? Correct me if I'm wrong, but that's what it looks like to me.

They're also using polygons instead of sprites but, yeah, it looks like its got fixed camera angles.

[The Last One]

Exactly! Make it happen Game Freak!

 

[Skyfireblaze]

Yeah, the event Pokemon are the big downer for me in collecting. I usually just do the single player stuff. Though won't lie, absolutely hate caves. And that's more than just fighting Zubats. Every step and a half it's a fight. It's like hell maybe one day I'll get out of this cave.

I really do hope with this new generation Nintendo stops focusing on going to places on giving out some Pokemon and does it online. Just do it within a specific time period or something, like they do now. Just make the time available really limited. I'd rather that than not having a chance at all. Used to be where I lived we didn't have any cool Pokemon stuff coming to town. Now that I live abroad, I'm kind of SOL still. I never got why they haven't done more via the internet. So much easier, but guess when you partner with companies they want to be the ones that people flock to to get it. That kind of stuff is archaic now though. Needs to die in a fire.

Just really hoping this generation focuses more on the online distribution. Been complaining about it since they allowed online trading and will be until it's implemented. Hoping for best.

EDIT: Skyfire, nothing wrong with that. I'm older and it feels like 1997 again for me as well. I'm like all giddy and on the hype train now.

Ahaha well I'm glad I'm not the only one then! And Fennekin will so be my starter, I like it just as much as my Torchic back then

Taller and definitely different models for everything. I assure you that the cliffs were not in 3D before.

 

[Nilaul]

Not sure.

You cant on GTS,
and this sis why I never ever got my favourite pokemon.. MEW. Since the orginal red version... I never had him.

 

[Qurupeke]

.

Son of a fennec. Awesome.

 

[Mista Koo]

Dat Y :O_

I will go with Chespin since apparently everyone is ignoring the poor chap.

Did you choose Oshawott last time?

Charmander was soo cool.

Charmander was the worst fire starter.

Get this shit out of here.

(Gen 5 and Gen 3 were better)

Surely you mean Gen 4.

 

[Tempy]

Chespin is a chestnut.

 

[Nimajneb]

The amount of fanart being posted already is amazing. There are a few of Y bird, but nothing of the X stag yet.

 

[Zizbuka]

What's the BOMB part, or is OP just trying to be clever?

 

[IHaveIce]

The fennec is probably the best starter ever.

lol, yeah ok.

 

[Boss Doggie]

Look at those Samurott pecs

Potentially over 700 unique models with animations plus the various locations, trainers, event scenes, music, and such.

You do know that this is 3ds not a ps3 guys.

It looks fine where it needs to... The battles.

It looks janky in places and the franrates is pretty bad but The worst looking 3ds game tho? Come on

This guy gets it

Vulpix is the better fire fox.

Hell no. Only thing going for it is Drought but otherwise it's a shitty Arcanine.

I see the Pokémon designs are continuing the downward spiral. Gen 1 still reigns supreme.

Says the Pokemon whose pre-evos are better designed

 

[Delio]

.

What a BEAST. I need a gif of it from the trailer stat.

 

[Neiteio]

I wonder how info sites (Bulba, Serebii, etc.) react now that the games won't use sprites. gif'd rip of 3d model?

Eh, just shrink the Sugimori art.

Probably more mons?

Man, if Coro Coro showed us even more Pokemon... That'd be awesome.

He's like Groudon and Lugia combined.

Ah, I see.

 

[Emitan]

Look at those Samurott pecs

are you hoping for nipples this time

 

[Majine]

Says the Pokemon whose pre-evos are better designed

Exwooose me!?

 

[Qurupeke]

lol, yeah ok.

Haters. Okay, only Mudkip is better.

 

[Effect]

Caught the end of the stream early this morning. What I saw looked excellent and so glad there's going to be a worldwide release in all the major regions. Nintendo needs to make sure they do that more. That's going to make the Fall a LOT better on the gaming front.

 

[Glass Rebel]

Do we have any pictures of the evolutions or other new pokemon yet? Or is it just starters + legendaries?

 

[Berordn]

Ohh, so it's like Pokesav, but more... legit I guess.

They count as legit pokemons? If so, that's cool.

As long as the personality value is generated by a method used by the game it's flagged as originating from and none of the other metadata is wonky (met in valid location, valid Pokeball used for capture, only 510 EVs, legal ability, etc.) it should be indistinguishable.

 

[Ashodin]

dat fukin Y legendary

jesus christ

 

[Silver_DNA]

But what -is- Chespin? A mole? A pangolin?

I think it's a chipmunk or something.

It's cute but I always pick the fire starter and my partner wants the froggie one.

 

[entremet]

I hope the fix the GTS. So much BS there. Like people requesting LVL 1. Legendaries.

 

[Emitan]

Exwooose me!?

Gengar is the worst in its line. But it's a great looking line.

Maybe it's better than Ghastly. Maybe.

 

[Teknoman]

What's the BOMB part, or is OP just trying to be clever?

That the series is full on 3D now, even in the battles, and thats a pretty big deal for the series?

 

[Dr.Palutena]

Exwooose me!?

Haunter>>>Gengar.

 

[Vermillion]

What's the BOMB part, or is OP just trying to be clever?

He means it's amazing, as in "the bomb has been dropped." If it were bad, it'd be "PokéBOMBA."

 

[vareon]

Now that they're using 3d models, how will they handle the scales?

Some Pokemon are gigantic.

 

[flyinpiranha]

What's the BOMB part, or is OP just trying to be clever?

Worldwide release? Non-Sprite? I mean, those are pretty huge to me.

Can't wait, looks great.

 

[Boss Doggie]

are you hoping for nipples this time

I wish he was bipedal :<

Also is Nuzleaf the only Pokemon with nipples

Exwooose me!?

Haunter >>>>>>>>>>>>> Gengar

 

[Zen_Arcade]

This is the first time since Gold/Silver where I'm going to have a hard time picking a starter.

 

[RepairmanJack]

Give me that Chespin!

That was an easier choice than I expected. Guess it's time to get a 3DS...

 

[Emitan]

If the new FemMC is French I hope her name is Emilie

 

[Banjoman]

i'm loving Fennekin. she's cute and hot.

 

[Qurupeke]

So, imo it's Water/Poison, Grass/Fighting and Fire/Psychic. Yeah, the Fennec is the best.

 

[Grakl]

Now that they're using 3d models, how will they handle the scales?

Some Pokemon are gigantic.

They'll just scale them down, I'm sure.

 

[AdventureRacing]

Haunter>>>Gengar.

Haunter remains by far the best looking ghost pokemon. In fact i think he is one of the better designed pokemon all together. Wish he was the final evo.

 

[backlot]

Now that they're using 3d models, how will they handle the scales?

Some Pokemon are gigantic.

Can't wait to see a Wailord battle.

 

[Nilaul]

I think it's a chipmunk or something.

It's cute but I always pick the fire starter and my partner wants the froggie one.

If chespin a chipmunk... does he sing?

 

[Emitan]

i'm loving Fennekin. she's cute and hot.

Oh gosh *blushes*

 

[LowMax]

Does anyone else think that this is what the pokemon games were going to look like for the DS back in 2004? This is what I had in mind. The visuals are a little dissapointing for 2013.

This picture SCREAMS come at me bro.
