DS and 3DS communicate the same way. 3DS applications can also read and write to DS cartridges, Pokemon Dream Radar does this.
There's no reason they couldn't maintain compatibility.

Just for people that seem to have foggy memories in here, this is what Pokemon Stadium looked like.
Can we please return to reality?
Huh, this has better textures. And anitaliasing.

Cautiously optimistic. The series has been stale for so long. Just not using sprites anymore will be a huge leap.

Charmander is burning his own crotch
*anti-aliasing
I wasn't doing that to your typo.
Were you actually comparing an emulated game that's being upscaled to a 3DS game?
It definitely did not have antialiasing. That's either a bullshot or from an emulator. I doubt it even ran at 640 x 480.

Pretty sure this is emulated.

How can I catch an EatChildren?
That is a pretty nice crowd texture.
You don't, EatChildren catches you

This news made my day! Not that I was having a bad day, but still, all new Pokemon! Awesome!
And in the trailer, did I not see the PC rollerblading? Maybe they're replacing the bicycle? And I haven't yet gotten a chance to watch the Iwata Asks, but was there any mention of being able to modify your characters look? I think it would be cool if we got to choose our style and make our character unique, especially for things like StreetPass.

Did they 3D bevel an already 3D logo?!? So 90s
Froakie is the best. Not too sure on the legendaries, will wait to judge until they show the Z dimension Pokemon.

It's a special event Pokemon, I think that you have to bring your 3DS to a Gamestop on a Sunday. Power to the players.
Anyone posted the logo yet?
The DNA there must mean the whole X Y thing is about chromosomes.
that's pretty major news

I buy cakes for myself on my birthday it's not weird lots of people do it I bet
Someone mentioned on another forum the Legendaries being based off Norse Mythology...
Like in the Yggdrasil Myth, there's an eagle and stags...there's also a serpent, which seems like it could make a cool "Z" Pokemon.

Pokemon Stadium looks a lot worse - at least when comparing battle gameplay.
The battle enviroments seem more sparse than the GC/Wii pokemon games but the models seem better in terms of lighting and shading. Also nice particle effects.
But the actual enviroments outside of battle look pretty ugly, not a huge jump over the DS versions -though part of this is because they've gone for a much lower camera angle- AND there was slowdown in one of the areas.

Torchic and Tepig didn't look like fighting types either...
I don't think, this is a major change for the franchise, way bigger than D/P -> B/W.
Yes. Every release is filled with 'This is my first Pokemon game since Red / Blue'.. or in some cases Gold / Silver.
To me, this looks like the biggest change so far in the Pokemon series. All of the other games just looked way too formulaic to me, that's why I haven't been into Pokemon for a while.

Well I don't know about gaf, but the fact that the sprites were animated in the last gen was a pretty big deal at the time.
Although there were still tons of people complaining that it wasn't 3d after the announcement.
My last Pokemon game was Gold. I didn't really like that game and I didn't get the GBA either so I fell off the series.

Finally what Ive always wanted a full 3D Pokemon game. Im there!
I never thought the day I would be interested in a 3DS will come but I can't lie I will buy an XL before this comes out, I haven't played a Pokemon game since Ruby and i'm definetly buying Y version.
Now the question is should I wait for a price drop and new XL colors? Do you think that will happen before this comes out?

Game looks sweet, and the new battle screen/animations are nice. Definitely starting with Froakie.

It definitely did. Look back on the N64 tech. The AA was one of the defining features of the system.
Those Stadium screens only signal to me how poor GF is at sculpting 3D worlds. Their watermark is essentially a 16 year-old game but what I'm seeing is rudimentary PSX or DS-level 3D. I would LOVE to see a fully-realize 3D Pokemon world. We actually got pretty close to that with XD and Colosseum.
The slowdown doesn't help, but it definitely is an improvement over the DS versions in terms of out of battle environments.

hella bullets that's true
Between this and Animal Crossing, this is the year of the 3DS

Am pretty sure this was slow motion and a close up on the character that does not happen in game. No reason or sense to have that camera angle.
EDIT: Watching on load it sounds like hes on rollerskates.
Meanwhile the rest looked fine, it was just short clips. The environment is obviously suppose to be very open and clear instead of creating a 3D game which is closed with linear walls.
Anyway, anyone know whats going on when this building forms:
