It's definitely a possibility. But I'm always apprehensive about Pokedex entries/descriptions.
After all, Umbreon's description in Gold would have most people guessing it was a Poison type if they didn't know better:

I like the starters, especially the owl, it's totally adorbs and I can't wait to get a plushie of it.
The legendaries are probably the worst box legendary duo, sooo uninspired and overdesigned. It's dissapointing because Zekrom/Reshiram and Xerneas/Yvetal were great.
The playable character are really bland and I also don't care about the professor and mom. The rival look nice.
Yokai Watch 3 will look better tho
It wishes it was half as good as this franchise, though.
The thing with this legendaries is that i think they are too stray from the region they are in.
Zekrom and reshiram fit on Unova because they go with the mechanization/urbanization atmosphere the games were based on. Xerneas and Yveltal played wonderfully with the "european" mythos, but here we have hawaii as the setting and a plastic-like lion and a weird moon bat for mythical creatures?
If anyone knows if there are Hawaiian tales or mythology related to this creatures then i guess i could see the point, now i really can't. It seems too random, and just hamfisted so they could go with the Title: Sun & Moon.

Reshiram is not one of the most popular Gen V Pokémon. Its most notable for looking terrible and having a giant crotch tuft. Everyone hated them and laughed at them when they were revealed.
Meanwhile, tons of people are saying they love the sun legendary.
The Gen V legendaries clashed horribly with Gen V because they had a weird eastern spiritual theme. Same with the djins.

Not enough menus/UI navigation was shown.... 2/10 (dead serious).
Amazing.
Since this is obviously not the full map and we saw vehicle designs in the reveal trailer, I wonder if we'll have fully-controllable boats to get from island to island

I agree, it's a bad trailer. I can't remember the last good Pokémon trailer, I guess they just figure they might as well not waste the money.
yeah man. great taste.
i fixed gen 1 starter too
why is this so funny
That top row is the male bruv
There's a big port in that city, so maybe you'll hit that city and then cruise to the other islands before having to return to your home island to explore the other areas. Island-hop, one gym an island, and then for some reason, maybe plot related, you're forced to return. The volcano seems like too much for an early game area. Heck, even the waterfall might be.
Or maybe it'll be a Lumiose situation where it's a later gym that you can't access until you have so many badges.

I booted up Y after seeing the trailer for 2 minutes and played around with the menus.
I hope despite it being a potential technical limitation thing(but seriously figure it out)
we can finally have instant menus/navigation.
The whole 0.5-1 sec fade transition should not be a thing. ~_~
Not to mentioned all the other little things that will annoy you after 30 hours playing.
Get some of that P5 swagger and show of your UI in the next trailer pls x_X

Interesting to note that I'm pretty sure owls, cats and seals all exhibit nocturnal behaviour. Probably just a coincidence, but still neat given the naming scheme for this gen.

Third most popular Unova Pokemon. Reshiram has plenty of fangirls >w>
No. Gen 5 grass starter the best starter.
This is the starting island, obviously. The area where you are welcomed to the island and given your pokemon is in the north part of the island. You also access the falls from the starting island. The route south of the starting town is probably the first route.
All of the islands of Hawaii are volcanoes, so there's gonna be a shitload of volcanoes. Diamond Head is an extinct volcano, hence people built buildings in the crater:

My main problem with the Pokemon formula as it is today, is that going from a city to another requires that same repetitive battles against trainers in the way, many that you can't avoid. I'm not sure if that would solve the problem, but maybe if you could run from the trainer NPC when he detects you would make things better.
Or they should have more events in the way, with more exciting battles and dialogues, rather than only a set of trainers.

Oh yeah, I'm not trying to argue against it being the starting island or anything. Just that it might be possible that you'll leave and come back as opposed to exploring the entire island at once.
You're right about the volcano part. Guess it wouldn't be necessarily a later game thing at all. But now that you've educated me on Diamond Head (my knowledge about Hawaii is lacking), I'm hoping for a city built in that volcano.

Why would you avoid the base of the game? Probably the only 10/10 thing this game has is the battle mechanics (and maybe the ost); there's usually 0 story, 0 character development, graphically won't give lessons to anyone in this day and age...
Those starters are just a non-starter for me....
Mehehe... Just kidding... sorta. The seal looks super dumb, the other two are not bad. I like the owl although his palette scheme is meh, even just a darker brown would be better. Love his animations though. The cat looks alright.
As other have said though, this is pretty irrelevant as I always chose based on the final evolution.
I like the entei v2.0. He reminds me of Entei, whose design is great except the face. The crescent bat thing looks kind of weird to me at first glance.

I'd say a poll from an official Japanese Pokemon magazine holds more weight than your random nonsense. I'm sure Reshiram was also added as a support to Pokken due to its popularity in Japan.

The problem is not the battles. Is the way they're thrown against you. I don't usually avoid... actually, I try to beat them all until reach the next city. However, it becomes a bit tiresome, since they usually carry weak pokemons and there's nothing special fighting against them. There should be more variety in the way... like I said, maybe more events with better dialogues and stuff.
The problem with Pokemon nowadays isn't that it has too little dialogue; it has too much dialogue.

Couldn't agree more. Red and Blue was so refreshing after all the Scooby Doo nonsense to get started in X and Y. And then Lysandre. I don't caaaaaareeeee
A mod should add a starters poll, like when XY were announced. Maybe do it on the eventual CoroCoro thread?

God I hope the Owl keeps that bowtie in some fashion when it's fully evolved.
