Judging by the stutters in framerate. I dont think the 3DS could handle a more 'realistic' look. Using the Pokedex 3D models would make the game play at a slow crawl.

True enough, but i would be an idiot not to.

But if it's getting an attack boost, then a baton pass of a few speed upgrades sounds very scary.
Damn, didn't see that. I thought it was just a confirmation that catching Pokémon gives XP, didn't see the additional info. Thanks for pointing that out!
Well, this feature looks very interesting.
even then, garchomp wasn't one of the pokemon who needed a megalution. it's already a pseudo-legendary. so why not make weakmons stronger?
Self imposed challenge doesn't make you an idiot. Well if that is your purpose from the start.

I think a few Mega Evos are gonna be downgrades on the basis of missing out on hold items.

Text scrolls really fast in battle in Gen V, almost instantaneous.

The reason I won't use them is I love Venasaur just the way he is. Back-flower size doesn't matter <3
Mewtwo isn't a part of their balancing. It's banned in everything.
I must admit it to that Venusaur MegaEvo is the worst even though only Charizard MegaEvo that is legitimately cool
Yeah it's fun and it's not like I'm going to trade a bunch of lvl. 100s to aid me (all going to be self-found), but I don't want to waste time grinding if I don't have to.

Reminds me of all the rumors back in school that you could attach Charcoal to a Charizard and trade to evolve him into Charkole.. my friends were dumb.

I'm ok with EXP ALL if you obtain it after the Elite Four.
Amazing.

When I first saw MegaZard for a brief moment I really thought they might have given him the dragon typing he so rightly deserves.
lol of course you won't.
Pretty much all modern jrpgs have a similar mechanic now.
Yep. Garchomp with its speed and choice band or whatever is probably going to be stronger than the Mega.
It's going to be very interesting how Mega Pokemon are going to fit in competitive scene. Held items are crucial.
I dont remember Exp All? FireRed & LeafGreen?
I think its a good idea. I find myself training pretty evenly and then I get about 10 pokemon. I run through a cave or couple routes with a good set, and by the time I realize, the pokemon in my PC are outclassed by the wild..
On top of that, the pokemon in the wild will beat what I have by type! Its rather annoying being fainted while trying to train....
Now I can focus with one pokemon I want to push as a team leader and get the rest of the scrubs up to speed lol.
Elite Four runs and Audinos will be godly!
Side note: Guys!!! I snagged a 3DS XL!!! Whooo! So hype! I got a black one for 229 that comes with Mario 64 DS, Pokemon White, 999, and Fire Emblem Awakening!!!! I'm ready for this game!!
Does 3DS have a community thread like Vita does?

Exp All only existed in RBY.
"The item Exp. Share will revert to Exp. All as in Generation I, where when one Pokémon holding this item participates in battle, all other Pokémon in the team receive experience as well. Unlike in Generation I, the experience is not split but rather received by all Pokémon. This means that the participating Pokemon receive 100% experience, while non-participating Pokémon receive 50% experience."
Awww helllll yeaahhh!!
Awww helllll yeaahhh!!
I honestly don't remember that thing at all.... What the....
I'm bout to boot up my Blue version and check my bag when I get home...
Exp all should be post elite four to be honest because you really don't need to use an exp share unless a pokemon on your team is too weak or too low level to fight.
The main game isn't fun when your pokemon is overleveled at least in my opinion. Post game, yea who cares at that point

If you don't have it it's because you get it from one of the Aides depending on how many Pokemon you've caught iirc.
Ahh I see, I tend to only catch what I like aesthetically... My true weakness.
Thanks for the info Gary! ;P
I wanted to get into breeding and raising this Gen though... Get involved with PokeGaf and trade babies. I think it might be time to actually work on catching them all.... I need to grab Black 2, and Soul Silver.. Maybe even Platinum...

Wish they detailed the breeding changes.
I'm pretty happy with these changes, especially the EXP all. It can only help the experience, not hinder it since the item is optional and you don't even have to use it if you don't want to. All it will do is help make training more Pokemon easier.
I agree that the games are usually easy, but if you're like I am, I tend to want to use more than just the same 6 Pokemon in single player, using alternates to my main team. This will help immensely with being able to keep my alternates up to level without having to sacrifice any progress I've made with my main team, a problem that I often ran into in previous gens.
It's a brilliant move on GF's part and I welcome the EXP-all back with open arms.

Gaining experience when you catch the Pokémon? All of my dreams have come true!!!!!
Or they learn nothing in the way of usable attacks and their viable TMs are postgame or not available until evolution. Focusing distribution to the new 'mons is also a godsend.

I wonder what they mean by breeding.

Depending on how early you get EXP All, smashing through the game with your starters seems all the more viable.
Another one who hated it in gen 1, seems not so bad here though.

In Gen 1 having it in your bag would divide 50% of the XP earned to noncombatants. It ended up not being very much at all and it would take forever to show all the gains in the slow-ass text box.
In Gen 2 and beyond it was turned into a hold item, where it would always give 50% of the earned XP to the Pokemon holding it. (i.e. Pokemon A is on the top of the party and holding an XP Share, trainer switches to Pokemon B and Pokemon B defeats the opponent, Pokemon A gains 75% of the total XP for 'participating' and for the XP share, and Pokemon B gains 25%)
The XP Share has been included in every generation so far, in some form.
And how does it work now? 100% for everyone? It's kinda confusing
From the sound of it, 100% for participating Pokemon, 50% for non-combatants.
Or it just adds +50% XP to every Pokemon. I.E. Pokemon A and B fight and get 100%, Pokemon C doesn't and gets 50%; Pokemon A, B and C fight and get 83%.
Gonna have to see it in action to know for sure.
