You're right, it's a magnet with an eye. If only this sword had an eye.

I honestly don't care if some of the new Pokemon designs are ridiculous, because at least they're trying new things (even if their ideas are stretched a bit thin).
Sword pokemon? Sounds great.

FYI: I'm not trying to have this years old dispute, I was specifically talking about Honedge, not Pokemon designs in-general.
A magnet? I thought there were two magnets?
Magnemite is a robot junk contraption, it isn't just a magnet.

How about a pile of gunk? Better?

Looks really nice! Octillery is back, woo!
I'm hoping we have a good 250 sized Pokedex.
Anything less feels like too little. And ideal scenario would be 150 new + 100 old.

I hope we can turn off battle animations in the final game.

I didn't know that Pokemon Smash had the quality of a Mexican Morning Variaty Tv show.

I fucking hate the effort discrepancy between Pokemon and humans in this game. Not only are the trainers not even visible in the battles, but they don't even have idle animations in the overworld making them all look like frozen Minecraft characters or something.
At this point I suppose XY looks good for someone wanting a 3D battle simulator and not much else, but I'm beginning to doubt that it'll offer any suspension of disbelief at all.

Dude, it's just one single magnet. Don't you remember using those in school all the time?
They looked just like this:
You know, the 3d battles are the aspect I've been liking most about this transition, but now that you mention it...I hope Trainer/Gym Leader poses aren't gone!
Is it just me, or do the battle graphics look more smooth?
:OOOOOOOOOO

It's kind of a bummer how limited the battle backgrounds are. Its so weird and horrible looking to have a fight in the ocean be represented by being on the coast with a water circle around your Pokemon. Same thing with the grass circle, so odd. Couldn't they have kept the skybox and change the floor completely to water or grass?

Ah of course. Now I remember again why I hate every thread about Pokemon. At least the first 5 pages.

They could always add it in; there's still a little bit of time. Hopefully.
Also, lol at the 'This sword is n0t real pokemonz' idiots.

I haven't really played/finished a pokemon game since Gold/silver and Ruby, so this just looks amazing to me.
It's definitely the first 'big' step in the graphics department since those games. 3D Pokemon on the go is exciting.

The only thing I don't like about the sword is its name.
Ever since TPCi took over Pokemon's translating, the names and script have been consistently awful but now it's worse than ever. Honedge? TALONFLAME?
One's barely a portmanteau and the other is literally just two words shamelessly slapped together. It's like the current translator has no idea that English Pokemon names are supposed to be based on clever wordplay or puns.
(Remember when Pokemon had names that a lot of people wouldn't "get" until later? Like Bonsly and Sudowoodo? Or Absol with its double-meaning filled brilliance?)
I don't like how the trainer just unexplainedly disappears and isn't anywhere near his/her Pokemon for the rest of the battle. That's almost as bad as having them appear at all.

I thought they would come up with something cooler for surfing.
I also hope they add in something for idle trainers, looking down at their shoes, yawning, looking at a pokedex, anything besides frozen. I still really like what I'm seeing though.

I need this gammmmeeeeee!
And Machoke who is just some hench guy with a belt.
I loved the video, amazing watching the crowd go wild over every little thing.
Which is why, even as good as the games look, the appeal of "Pokemon battles in 3D!" is lost since we had that over 10 freaking years ago.

Seeing the 3D battles just makes me think about Pokemon stadium, and that makes me excited

I swear some of you guys are crazy. Complaining about a Sword that's been possessed by a ghost, but not complaining about 3 Diglets, 3 Magnemites, 2 Pokemon that look like Pokeballs, a Pokemon that is half a dozen of eggs, or two Koffings slapped together with super glue.
Kind of agreed, ever since Gen 4 I've noticed a decrease in awesome names.
Still, the majority of ones shown are fine - particularly Malimar, Chespin, Pancham, Clauncher, Sylveon.
Litleo is also terrible.
I like how they waited 'til near the end to show off the diagonal walking.
This is a true next-gen pokemon game.
I found a longer video that shows some walking around in the grass at the very beginning.

The people complaining about the sword while giving Muk, Grimer and voltorb the pass must have some sort of confirmation bias
Especially when you have pokemon like ekans and arbok who are just purple snakes (with their names backwards)
And don't even get me started on Seel... The seal pokemon... Who looks like a seal
Oh but he has a horn so it's ok!

We don't know too much as of now. I'd wait until the games actually come out before passing these kinds of judgement.
And honestly, if this issue is considered dealbreaking for you then I doubt anything they show will change your mind. I don't really think it's a big deal personally.
It's just muh nostalgia
Oh yeah, those great names that aren't just two words slapped together, like Beedrill, Sandslash, Ninetales, Persian, Psyduck, Geodude, Seel, Dewgong, Krabby, Horsea, or Electabuzz, Hoothoot, Jumpluff, Qwilfish, Slugma, or Houndoom. There wasn't anything like that way back when.

Sword guy reminded me of this.
I open the video in the OP in another tab and imagine Dixie and Diddy screaming "Kawaii" at the top of their lungs.

Truly the golden age of Pokemon names, unlike today, grumble grumble...
edit: Beaten badly by Sats =P
I think the trainer is supposed to be behind his Pokemon.
Although I doubt the trainer will ever actually be shown in the battle scenes. Also, those are some ugly hands.

one step closer..
Ok this got me.
Move List:
Stomp
Low Kick
Hi Jump Kick
Double Kick
Jokes aside, gameplay looks pretty cool. I still have to get use to the 3D model of the characters running around though.
I don't know some of the older Pokémon had silly names like Articuno, Moltres, Zapdos, Seel, Spheal, etc.
Beside I don't tend to get worked up about Pokémon names as I usually nickname my team.
