How do you know when shit gets real?

When you have people choosing starters for a Pokemon game....

Spoiler

that's at least 9 months into the future.

 

[Vermillion]

My Pokemon cycle with every starter reveal:
Ewwwww ---------(10 seconds)--------> I LIKE THEM!

Yup.

 

[Nemesis_]

I can't wait till the team works on this some more and the graphics are properly optimised.

This is going to be absolutely fantastic.

I can't wait to hear about how they're going to use the 3DS's features. There's a lot of potential for an always connected Pokemon. With Spotpass, Streetpass, in-game online connectivity, the pedometer, and AR, they could really do some cool stuff. I'm imagining a game that is taking advantage of some feature of the system at all times.

 

[Tricky I Shadow]

You really try it in every Nintendo thread don't you?

This announcement was life giving, I cannot wait!

Try what exactly??? I'm genuinely surprised at how quickly this thread has grown.....

I would've thought most people here would have grown out of Pokemon. I guess not.

 

[gosox333]

I wonder how this is going to change up the news train we all love to follow for these games? Will western sources get the scoop ahead of traditional venues like Smash and Corocoro?

This is all so amazing. I can't believe it was all actually worth it.

 

[The Technomancer]

Okay, the gif on the previous page with Kirlia and the Fox starter looked pretty awesome. For some reason I think the battle gif with the Frog starter just looks...terrible.

 

[Kouriozan]

I think it's a hedgehog (French name is a pun with "hérisson" hedgehog)

French name = Marisson
Marron + Hérisson
Chestnut + Hedgehog.

 

[Gravijah]

According to the offical website it's really a new generation, and not just new starters and legendary.

http://www.pokemon.com/pokemonxy/en-us/

of course. there's no way it would just be new starter and legendaries. 0% possible.

it's also an entirely new region based on Europe.

Well thank god. I don't think I can handle another "is this actually next gen" debate on here this week.

 

[Artemisia]

Well it seems like the badass deer will be the mascot for pokemon X. I will be picking that up.

 

[Randdalf]

Do you think the "more you battle together, the stronger your bond will become" line in the trailer means anything, or is it just trailer-jargon?

 

[MetalGuardian]

God, just look at that perfect-form Ninja pose he strikes before blasting the shit out of his opponent with some straight up high-rolling water spear conjured from the trident of Poseidon himself. You know this bitch is just gonna hop circles around the other two starters before his day of glory as a hardened Frogsassin come in his final evolution

FROAKIE I AM YOUR LOYAL BLOOD SERVENT FROM NOW UNTIL YOUR DAY OF DEATH-RECKONING FINALLY COMMENCES

 

[SovanJedi]

Froakie is the shit. First time I'll be starting with a Water type.

The graphics in battle look so good. Not sure what to make of StagX and BirdY yet, though.

Thank God it wasn't another remake. I swear I have no idea why Gaf has such a hardon for devs who literally make the same game over and over

Avatar quote.

 

[Rubius]

I think it's a hedgehog (French name is a pun with "hérisson" hedgehog)

Marisson. Hum. Macaron and Herrison? Do not look like a Hedgehog, hum. The english name is Chestnut and Something pin. What are the rodent like that finish by pin?

 

[Boss Doggie]

Honestly it seems like they focused the graphics design more on the battle than the environment, which I can respect.

 

[Visualante2]

I hate the way they've stuck to the same cinematric limitations of sprites, despite going fully 3D.

Now is the time to reinvent the visual language of Pokemon battles not just the method of rendering.

edit. Love the world map!

 

[RagnarokX]

I think it's a hedgehog (French name is a pun with "hérisson" hedgehog)

It looks nothing like a hedgehog. It looks like a chipmunk or a mole.

One of Fennekin's names is Fynx and it's clearly some kind of canine and not a feline.

 

[Aaron Strife]

Froakie reminds me of the Dokongo Gaeru anime.

And now I NEED a Froakie t-shirt.

He was in the Pokemon anime.

 

[Rakzo]

I love that frikking frog, I can finally go back to water-type starters!

I don't know why some people are complaining about the graphics they, look fine for me.

 

[Koodo]

I cannot with the Legendary Deer having swords as legs.

 

[sTeLioSco]

can i play it on nvidia shield??

 

[jokkir]

Well thank god. I don't think I can handle another "is this actually next gen" debate on here this week.

I don't know, man. The graphics seem very DS-ish. Is it really next gen?

 

[Aiii]

Try what exactly??? I'm genuinely surprised at how quickly this thread has grown.....

I would've thought most people here would have grown out of Pokemon. I guess not.

How does one outgrow a good gaming experience?

 

[TheVampire]

Will this game have every pokemon up untill now?

I like the old pokemon best.

 

[Xux]

Huh, so the gameplay looks completely identical and they copy-pasta'd Pikachu and Dratini's Stadium models? Yeah, I'll probably get it.

 

[The Last One]

of course. there's no way it would just be new starter and legendaries. 0% possible.

it's also an entirely new region based on Europe.

Yeah, this is too good, everything is going as expected for me.

 

[Byronic Hero]

I wonder how far off we are from actually being able to customize your trainer. I'd love to have the creation tools found in DQ9.

 

[Zaventem]

Those Antlers man.

 

[Maedhros]

Do you think the "more you battle together, the stronger your bond will become" line in the trailer means anything, or is it just trailer-jargon?

Trailer crap, I'm sure.

 

[Glass Rebel]

I would've thought most people here would have grown out of Pokemon. I guess not.

Nah, people have grown out of Uncharted and Call of Duty.

 

[shink]

Would definitely buy a 3DS for this. Just waiting for it to be sub $150 bundled with X or Y. Pokemon has always been a system seller for me (Mainline titles)

 

[BassForever]

Wait this was a question?

 

[RawkHawk2010]

Chespin looks like something from Happy Tree Friends.

 

[Tookay]

Try what exactly??? I'm genuinely surprised at how quickly this thread has grown.....

I would've thought most people here would have grown out of Pokemon. I guess not.

Even the language you choose sounds inflammatory.

 

[D_prOdigy]

Chespin looks like a little motherfucker.

 

[Nemesis_]

A queen ready to SCALP

 

[Emitan]

Thank God it wasn't another remake. I swear I have no idea why Gaf has such a hardon for devs who literally make the same game over and over.

But they're different.

 

[Gospel]

Oooh man. How the flip is anyone supposed to wait for this? October 2013 feels like at least several hundred months away.

 

[saltine161]

Looks amazing and I love the art style really fits the Pokemon theme. And this probably the first time since Gold/Silver I thought the starters looked cool.

 

[Kokonoe]

I wonder how far off we are from actually being able to customize your trainer. I'd love to have the creation tools found in DQ9.

It may be in the game, I didn't see custom trainer art yet. Have to wait for that.

 

[Dragoon En Regalia]

Honestly it seems like they focused the graphics design more on the battle than the environment, which I can respect.

It's more important in the long run. That said, I can't help but notice they're still taking baby steps with making the battles more visually interesting. There's still a lot of detachment from the surrounding battlefield that throws me off and makes me drool for more.

Eh, I won't complain. What we're getting is quite out there already.

 

[Santiako]

I'll call him faceballs.

 

[Blades64]

They're gonna polish up the graphics right? The 3DS is much more capable than this.

 

[TheLastCandle]

Will buy!

Battles look awesome.

 

[PaineReign]

I like that the trailer shows older pokemon too, showing that the new game will have an expanded dex from day 1. That was one of my big issues with B/W, it didn't have the "comfort food" of known pokemon. Gen Wunner of me to say, but still.

 

[Styles]

I cannot with the Legendary Deer having swords as legs.

I am fucking crying. Only a bad bitch.

 

[KillerTravis]

How do you "grow out" of good games?

 

[nasos_333]

Amazing, we may never get Bravely Default (3DS) and Ni no Kuni (DS) or a new proper 3DS Zelda

but we have Pokemon to play with, how nice !!!
