All I really want to know are the starters' evolutions, heh. Chances of that happening? I'm not sure what would be in this news.

We got the second evo roughly near release date last time... but it was leaked via anime iirc

Bah, that's too far away.
 
Yeah let's make a game that will look like complete garbage ass in less than 5 years since 3d graphics evolve exponentially just because people want more mainstream shit than fully developed well done 2d arts that was just getting started to be fully animated.

No.

As opposed to a game that looks like shit from the moment it came out? B/W is a disgrace to the eyes.

Eh, why would you be playing X/Y in 5 years? By then, there would be a new handheld with the same pokemon that look better.

The 2D arts sprites were hardly going anywhere at the rate GameFreak was improving them. There are better animated sprites in the early GBA's lifetime than there was in the last generation on DS.

The Pokemon battles look sleek, toon-shaded, and well-animated, and that's all that counts, so you're wrong.

You can keep your gross low quality pixelated sprites and I'll play my superior Pokemans, thanks. lol

EDIT: oh and better looking like ass in less than 5 years than looking like the immediately outdated ass that was Pokemon sprites the last 3 gens.

Why is this even a question? For the same reason i still play Sapphire or Silver or Red, because they are... uuuuh.... good games?

If you say so, master.
Also i should remind you that with gen6 you had a new hardware and with the base of gen5 sprites gen6 would've looked awesome counting that they started to have animation even in idle.
 

YAWN

Ask me which Shakespeare novel is best
Character customization confirmed, plus types for Xerneas and Yveltal please.

Well then, I consider you an outlier when it comes to people who play old versions of Pokemon for a really long time.

Because if it is good people will play it?

I'm still playing SoulSilver. I still play Pearl too.

I'm fine with the pokemon 3D models as long as they are animated well. Make them charming and endearing as spritework and I can deal.

Also, bring back pokemon following you and having inherent personalities.
They've had good enough hardware to do amazing sprites for a long time.

Yeah, after Golden Sun, they had no excuse.

This made me rage at the reveal trailer.

How the hell are we 2 generations into the future and we still don't see Pokemon following the trainer anymore? That was an awesome feature in HG/SS and they just randomly removed it.

I'm fine with a rival and professor reveal. I'd like new features to be revealed even more, but we're probably still far off from that.

No it won't; a new thread will be made with news when it drops.

LMAO. I thought this thread seemed a bit......early? lol

I hope the news is that they have thrown the 3d stuff away for a full 2d game

They would have to remake the game in order to do that and I doubt it's even worth the trouble.

I gotta agree that the 3D stuff doesn't look impressive, but I would rather them improve what they shown us so far rather than throwing it away. Don't get me wrong though, I generally prefer sprites over models but I really won't mind Gen 6 going full 3D since they've been slowly working their way through that.

Reminds me of people saying PokeStadium has better graphics. LOL

Honestly the more I play SS the more they feel more like annoyance than anything else. It feels more like a novelty that isn't really that much important.

what inherent personality are cackling about

Maybe but they decided to have baby step but of course when they were starting to actually good progress with this stuff they had to fuck up entirely...
3d adds nothing and removes everything form this game, the main gameplay is still in a grid so no benefit on having polygonal everything not to count that even on the hardware it is on it looks like shit (a game that doesn't look good even for its shitty 3d hardware DAYUMM!!!)
It also goes away that 2d game charm....

But it added such a personal touch :( it made Pokemon feel more like living creatures in the game rather than little digital things that fight when a battle screen comes up. Plus having like a Mewtwo follow behind you or whatever looked absurdly badass.

I'm all about fanart but you guys can't just post everything. At least filter out the mediocre stuff first. :(

You imply overworld in Pokemon looks good.

Ehh, felt like the more you play the game the more you realize that you won't see them anyway because you're either biking or in buildings or something.

Curious but what was exactly annoying about it?

Using HMs is slower than usual, they actually "block" moving NPCs, they can get annoying when itemfinding, etc.

At first you say "aww that's adorable"

Then a few seconds later "wait... what"

On subsequent replays I feel the same way. I think the option should be there though because I enjoyed it on my first time through at least. I just really hate Gamefreak taking features out of the games, like the day/night feature or animations previously.

Opinions. I always like how the overworld looked, even in Gen 1 and 2.

Fair enough.

oh boy :l

This is what annoys me about the games now. They constantly removed good features for no good reason. I'm still annoyed at the lack of VS Seeker in Gen 5.

Honestly the only overworld I actually liked is Unova's.

Also looks like every fansite has caught on the announcement.

Yeah.

I already gave up replaying SS because the speed. Stopped at Blackthorn. lol

where and i what game are you talking about?

The graphics comment usually refer to the bland overworld screen in XY's trailer. The battle graphics look good.

Has it been like that? When the thing being announced actually comes, a different thread is made?
