as In we were assuming not every type was recieving a new pokemon?

You never know. lol

Spoiler

I didn't think that. xD

 

[papercamm]

I saw an interesting post via 4chan that theorized that the two legendaries represented two new types: light & sound. Basing the theory off their presentation in the Direct. But I don't know if they'd introduce anymore types, it was still an interesting theory.

I'd like that.

 

[zethren]

Well they haven't introduced new types since gen 2, so if they were going to make new ones I'd say now is reasonable.

I would be very interested to see how a "light" and "sound" type would interact with the existing types.

 

[Neiteio]

Yveltal... still loving it.

So beautiful.

They're both beautiful, but yeah, Yveltal never gets old. Not that Xerneas does, but Yveltal has just the right amount of interesting patterns, shapes, details, and room for them all to breathe and look natural. Your eye traces the linework and it has this action-packed feel. So awesome.

 

[Keyouta]

With the 3D battles, the catching animation in this game should have the ball hit the pokemon and engulf it similar to how it happens in the show, I think it'd be pretty sweet.

New types would be verrrryyyy interesting.

Yeah! Fennekin catching up.

Based off of what though?

Jack shit.

 

[zroid]

I can see Xerneas being "light" because of the antlers, but I've no idea what Yveltal has to do with "sound".

 

[Gravijah]

Psychic & Normal essentially cover "Light" type Pokemon. Light is likely never to be introduced as a new type, and Dark wouldn't be its counterpart. Theoretically, if one of these new Pokemon is Light type, they'd have to re-type old Pokemon. And introduce a TON of Light type moves.

He drops some mad beats yo.

Just look at those 3 vinyl swapping hands!!! #electronic-gaf represent!!!

BRING IT BACK TO THE JUNGLE!!!!

Maybe he's blind so he uses sonar to navigate... maybe...?

 

[papercamm]

Very little, just that Yveltal was the only pokemon to make a sound in the trailer aside from Pikachu and that Xerneas was surrounded by beams of light.

Got permission from a mod to post these in the other thread, so I'll post them here -- low-quality since they're photos:

 

[Diprosalic]

warming up to Y, like X except the sword legs.
i wonder how they will do the Z 'mon. a snake?

I'd rather not have Sound. Seems too narrow and they already fudged stuff up with Sound with Jigglypuffs and the Whismur line and a bunch of other Normal Pokemon and attacks.

I think the ship has sailed too for Light since Gen II since Psychic and Normal types seem to be taking design cues from RPG variations of "Light/Holy" types more and more. Too late for any future "Tech" types out there too.

Never too late for "Cosmo/Ether/Space/Cosmic" types though. Would love that. If you go with Ether, you don't even have to retcon Dalgia and Palkia's stupid typing. And maybe if you think hard enough, Ether/Cosmic could be weak against Poison lol.

 

[spindashing]

Sugimori making me like Yveltal. Damn it. I like it more than Xerneas now.

 

[Izayoi]

More than likely some kind of serpent, yes.

Sugimori making me like Yveltal. Damn it. I like it more than Xerneas now.

I know how you feel. ;_;

 

[Grakl]

Sugimori making me like Yveltal. Damn it. I like it more than Xerneas now.

Well, Yveltal is much better.

 

[Neiteio]

Man, if I had Sugimori skill, I would draw Pokemon all. Fucking. Day.

And yeah, I prefer Yveltal, too, and it didn't take the art to sell me!

Love them both, though. Both are amazing. Best duo ever.

Well, when you think about it, it's not really too late for any new type, as they can always go back and change old typings around. It's not like it would be unprecedented (see Magne* line).

 

[Fou-Lu]

I really need to finish Pokemon White and White 2 now... I just have such a hard time going back to my DS lite after all these larger handhelds, maybe I should just buy a DSi XL for the sole purpose of playing them.

 

[Gravijah]

Sugimori making me like Yveltal. Damn it. I like it more than Xerneas now.

It's a really good design. I expect the in game model will look better than the CG model, too.

 

[Tiamant]

I thought I'd never see "organic" legendaries again. To hell with Palkia, Zekrom and mecha-pokemons, Yveltal gives me Lugia/Ho-oh vibes and that's excellent, I hope they don't go overboard with the quantity of legendaries this time, BW was exhausting on that regard.

 

[Aggrotek]

So I think I am going to playthrough it once picking Froakie and then start over. I have to choose the water starter first... it's tradition for me.

Not 1 single time have I not chosen the water type. Chespin will be on my file 2 and he shall be permanent.

You delete files? Pokemon killer.

 

[Neiteio]

I'm thinking:

Chespin starter. And Y for Yveltal.

Green starter. Red legendary.

Awww yeeeah.

 

[Teknoman]

Yveltal looks great. Pokemon X sounds better, but for Yveltal, i'm going with Y.

 

[Neiteio]

Yveltal looks capable of the most colossal bitch slap in history.

Triple time.

IIRC, BW has around the same amount as DPPt but a larger overall new Pokedex.

Yesss, hopefully the same goes for evolution!

Welcome to the winning team.

 

[Aggrotek]

It's part of the dream world.

 

[789shadow]

I'll get both versions to facilitate my 3 Starter run, but I like Yveltal the most.

 

[Neiteio]

I want Yveltal and Xerneas to team up against the Z legendary, with Yveltal perching on Xerneas' antlers! :O

 

[Teknoman]

I wonder if the game will finally go back to the overworld running at 60 fps. Also with Pokemon actually showing up as their in game model for wild encounters...does that mean we'll actually use the Pokemon's model for HMs?

 

[Hypatia]

Sugimori making me like Yveltal. Damn it. I like it more than Xerneas now.

I honestly thought the design was terrible judging by the trailer but yeah, Sugimori art makes it look cool.

 

[ScraftyDevil]

Great minds think alike

Done.

 

[Neiteio]

I thought Yveltal looked great even in the trailer. Too many people focused on the one still showing him from below, all aglow with energy -- made him look simpler than he is. But if you look a him a few frames earlier, we see side profile shots that show the diamond patterns on his back, the cool linework on his face, etc. Glad people are coming around, though.

 

[Izayoi]

I wonder if the game will finally go back to the overworld running at 60 fps.

From the looks of the trailer, that's definitely not happening.

 

[Hypatia]

From the looks of the trailer, that's definitely not happening.

But if that's true then in 3D it'd run at only 15FPS, wouldn't it? It'd have to be atleast 60FPS to run properly.

 

[Neiteio]

Framerate can change a lot between now and then. Look at how much they've improved the framerate in Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon.

 

[papercamm]

I would gladly disable 3D if it meant I could improve the frame rate.

 

[Izayoi]

But if that's true then in 3D it'd run at only 15FPS, wouldn't it? It'd have to be atleast 60FPS to run properly.

No. Most 3DS games actually don't change framerate or anything like that when switching between 2D/3D. The games that do are generally the exception to the rule. The IQ looks pretty clean on the battle shots at least, I'm willing to bet that going from 3D to 2D will net some kind of IQ increase like 2xAA.

Framerate can change a lot between now and then. Look at how much they've improved the framerate in Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon.

Yeah, but they improved Luigi's mansion from sub-20 to 30. That's completely different than going from low-20 to 60.

 

[Grakl]

I really want to see the three stages for each starter.
