That's a good question. Will older characters appear in X & Y, within the new art style for characters?

Do you think BW 2 female trainer was same person who was seen in Pokemon X/Y Trailer when XY Male Trainer ran in the forest as she chased him behind. That scene lead to "Wild Pikachu appeared!"?

In PWT the sprites of the returning characters from previous gens were updated.

Make her so that she never ceases appearing since her debut. Nine games in a row :P I'd like to see this break double digits.

As long as she keeps being a high-tier battler!

Although she needs to replace her shitty Glaceon.
 
Yeah I want PWT too. Make it so that Clay expands the franchise over the other regions.

Speaking of which I want XY to make the gym leaders developed as well like what they did to BW/2. Everyone has a job - Lenora is a museum curator, the triplets are restaurant owners, Cheren is a teacher, Burgh is a fabulous artist, Clay is the goddamn mayor, Skyla is a pilot, Drayden is the goddamn mayor, Brycen is an actor, Elesa is a supermodel, Iris is excusable for being a child, Roxie is a band member, and Marlon is... uh... what's Marlon's job?

Uh, hm. Probably PMD2.
I liked Pokepark in theory, but the first one was really... not great, haven't given the second one a chance.
Snap is great though I don't have the same love affair for it that everyone else seems to.

He's a layabout that goes around thwarting evil teams because of feels.

he also has tanlines, my greatest weakness
 
Am I the only one around here who doesn't get all of the Snap adoration?

I mean, it's cute, yeah, but it's not very deep or involved nor is it very long. Even as a kid I fealt kind of ripped off when I was able to complete the entire game in an afternoon.

I suppose it is pretty fun to come back to every once in a while though, and the $10 asking price on Virtual Console is about what I'd pay for it nowadays. If GF released a 3DS/WiiU Snap with a good selection of the current 700+ and a good 10-15 hour campaign, I'd buy two of them.

Safaris are fucking badass man... and this one had pokemon...

Now that XY are in 3D pokemon Snap better become a game mode within the Safari Zone.

I actually agree with you. I find the obsession with Snap to be astonishing. I think part of it was that it was so out of leftfield in the time. There were no spin-offs, it showed a 3D world filled with wild Pokémon. It captured the imagination.

Before X & Y were revealed, whenever I saw people say they wanted a 3D RPG, they always compared the world to be similar to how Pokémon Snap did it, just not on rails.
 
Love for Snap is about the concept moreso than the execution, which is always looked upon more favourably with a nostalgic frame of reference. I really enjoyed that game for what it was, though.

If a sequel were released with a similar level of ambition, I doubt it'd be quite so readily accepted today. But if it's scaled up while giving you more freedom and environments to explore, I think it could be a truly excellent game.

Like PokePoaching?
 
Yeah same boat - I find Snap to be boring. Oh you can take pictures of Pokemon in their habitat - wooooooow. I like it better when I can catch them. Also the more you play it, it feels more like you're a dick, disturbing them.
 
Well, Snap was nice for its time. It offered people a 3D Pokemon world, where you could see Pokemon act in their natural habitat. I'm guessing that's why it's so popular. Basically, like the Stadium games, which let people experience Pokemon battles in 3D. Stadium had those awesome minigames, though.
it was fun for the first time, but yes, it's really short and on-rails, so it starts to get boring after going through it once. It's something that would be a downloadable title today, like it's VC rerelease.
I think my favorite spin-off is the first or third Ranger game.

Also, first post. Hi there. I need to make myself a Chespin avatar now.
 
Pokemon Pinball
Pokemon TCG
Pokemon Snap, in that order.

I probably played Pokemon Pinball more than Pokemon red when I was a kid.
 
Pinball and RS Pinball are by far the best. I don't include Puzzle League/Challenge as true spinoffs, since they just took an existing puzzle game and slapped Pokemon on it. I prefer Tetris Attack to PPL/C anyway.


It really bothers me that we didn't get a Pinball based on Gen V. I was expecting they would continue the trend of doing one for every other generation. I guess one might still pop up in the coming months, but it's doubtful. :( Zen Pinball 3D has shown me that 3DS pinball games are the definitive pinball games. 3D works wonders for their playability!
 
I would say Pokémon Conquest is my favourite spin-off. I'd love a sequel that has more choice of Pokémon, Pokémon having movepools plus being able to pick more than one attack and more varied battlefields would make the game even better.

Team Rocket got sent back to Unova by Giovanni to take down Team Plasma, since Giovanni believes they took down Magma, Aqua and Galactic.

Looker is trying to take down Team Plasma.

My enemy's enemy is my friend

Well, that explains why they are still employed. :P

Also, I need to get to playing Pokemon Conquest. Can't believe I haven't already.

Ooh, tricky to say. Top 3

1. Pokémon Rumble Blast
2. Pokémon Ranger Shadows of Almia/Guardian Signs
3. PokéPark 2 (Seriously, the battle system is awesome. I'd love for them to enhance that for a harder, less kid-focused game)
Click to expand...

I agree with this.

There were some good moments to be had in a battle system like that. If they announced a third one, it would definitely turn my head.
 
Pokemon Ranger 2, is the best spin-off yo!

Also, in X/Y News, I saw this on 4chan last night...

Due to the "world wide" release of Pokemon X/Y, pre-release information that at this time would usually be reserved for the Japanese branch of the Pokemon Company is now present among the localization departments of the other regions as well (such as NOA, where I am situated), and I have actually seen the full roster of new Pokemon as have quite a few people worldwide due to the difficulty regarding keeping everything under wraps. Thus, I can share a bit of preliminary information about new Pokemon appearing in X/Y.

* More than 100 new Pokemon.

* There are indeed new evolutions and pre-evolutions, most of them focused on Gen V Pokemon. However, a few older Pokemon, including Gen I classics, are getting surprising new developments.

* No new types, but there are "Cross-bred" Pokemon introduced. Certain father/mother breeding pairs will result in a visually distinct child, who will be the mother's species, but will, for example, have a pattern reminiscent of its father or a slightly altered color scheme. This is basically the new Gender Difference and is simply an aesthetic bonus, nothing extreme and only certain pairings result in this...the Pokemon is still considered the species of its mother, it's not a new species. One example I can give is that it is possible to get certain Pokemon sporting Pikachu's red cheeks.

* The Starters become Grass/Steel, Fire/Psychic, and Water/Electric. They're inspired by various European-centric archetypes...Chespin becomes a knight with chestnut armor, Fennekin a wizard with a majestic fur cloak, and Froakie a Nordic Viking with a thunder-cloud mullet/beard combo.

* Xerneas is Ice/Steel, and Yveltal is Fire/Dark. They have a unique ability where they can shift types with each other, Xerneas becoming red and Fire/Steel, and Yveltal becoming blue and Ice/Dark. Supposedly, Game Freak chose the typings in part due to members of the team being fans of R.R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire, among other reasons.

Here are short descriptions of 16 additional new Pokemon that will be debuting in X/Y that I selected to share. I looked for a representative of each type (they're mono-typed and dual-typed, I just selected one of their types) to give a roundish taste of what to expect. Furthermore, I chose Pokemon that are not related to prior Pokemon.

* Normal: Kendama-based Pokemon. Its main body rides atop a giant ball.
* Grass: A black-bear whose body is made of berries.
* Fire: Pintata Bull with horns that are torches.
* Water: Sea-bird. Looks like a socialite due to a feather that looks like an ascot.
* Electric: A poodle whose fluffy-parts are statically-charged fur.
* Bug: Millipede, besides the head its long body is made of bubbles
* Flying: A peacock with a tail that's a harp.
* Steel: A female-like Pokemon whose long hair is made of long, steel cables.
* Rock: A rock-based snail, its got a bell for a shell, and its body looks like a cathedral.
* Ground: An elephant whose body is covered in hardened mud-armor, more realistic looking than Donphan.
* Psychic: An "Arabian" Pokemon wrapped in a brightly-colored carpet clothing.
* Dark: Raccoon. Its tail serves as a burglar sack, and it's got a stylish black mask.
* Poison: Little purple lizard, it swings its (very large) broken tail around like a huge club.
* Fighting: A very weird Pokemon who resembles a giant, living sneaker. Cooler looking than it sounds.
* Ice: A Snowman with coal on its head looking like the incense marks Shaolin Monks have.
* Ghost: A kasa-obake (umbrella ghost) that's brightly colored and "fancy" looking.
* Dragon: A Kirin that looks like a dragonic-unicorn.

As a rumor lover (and creator, lol) myself, I've been keeping track of all the rumors I've seen. After Melkor came true, I've been a believer in leaks...
 
there are good spinoff games? i was always under the impression that they were all mediocre aside from pokemon snap.

i'd love to check out a good wii one (just got a wii u) or even ds/3ds.
 
Conquest was cool, if only for using Koei's Samurai Warrior's characters, as well as the music. Ridiculously easy game though.

Yep, this is bullshit.
