I used to love Pokemon. Now I just wish they'd use graphics that aren't from a previous gen... every fucking time.

 

[Kouriozan]

Like always I'm expecting EPIC MUSIC from a pokémon game, until now it was always better and better.

 

[outunderthestars]

Does anyone choose their starter without looking to see how they evolve?


Also: Chespin for me!

 

[JohnTonne]

To wait for the inevitable Pokemon Z or not?

Just like Gray?

I bought all versions this gen so I'm buying whatever they release whether it be a X2 or a Z.

 

[BGBW]

Japan has a Tokyo Tower.

Which is red is it not? I see that and I think fictional Eiffel myself.

Also the buildings have a rather more European style to them.

 

[Majine]

Games look amazing, will pick both up.

Wow, really?

 

[OMG Aero]

Guess they finally ran out of names for their Pokemon versions huh.

 

[Dennis]

 

[Randdalf]

They've done a stellar job of translating the art style into 3D, a stellar job indeed.

 

[Vermillion]

This is me right now, lmao

Shit, I knew there was a reason I bought a 3DS, and it wasn't for OoT!

Guess they finally ran out of names for their Pokemon versions huh.

Nah, wait for Pokemon 1 and Pokemon 2

 

[Kurtofan]

Japan has a Tokyo Tower.

The streets and houses looks more like stereotypical Europe though.

 

[Ushojax]

I hope you can still get the National Pokedex in this game and that all the existing Pokemon are in the game. Iwata did mention something about 'some' of your favourite Pokemon being in there.

I used to love Pokemon. Now I just wish they'd use graphics that aren't from a previous gen... every fucking time.

Yes, they should be outputting 360 graphics on the 3DS.

 

[Makonero]

I like Chespin best because he has a hood like the best Pokémon ever.

TEAM CHESPIN, UNITE!

ALL WILL BOW TO THE POWER OF THE GREEN HOOD

 

[Gc-Freak]

First official pictures:

 

[Pappasman]

Its really jarring seeing the new graphics (I miss sprites). When the camera is pulled down it doesn't look so good, but in the shots where the camera is higher up (classic style) it looks way better, just like Black and White. In battle looks fucking awesome.

I'm def going for that fire starter. its 3rd form will probably be the best.

 

[ThatObviousUser]

It's crazy how much better looking MH3G is compared to this.

 

[Silent_Ocarina]

I thought it was the other way around, Y is the horns, X is the bird's wings, and maybe like a split tail or something? Need to look at them again.

The bird seems to represent Y.

 

[Kurita]

Wow, just wow.
God damn, so much hype. THANK YOU BASED GAME FREAK.

 

[YAWN]

Chespin - Grass/Dark
Fennekin - Fire/Ground
Froakie - Water/Fighting

My guesses.

 

[rdrr gnr]

Digging the new legendaries. Going to go with the Water-starter as well.

 

[Keio]

IWATA EN BOMB ZAL DROPPEN! OMG! Totally hyped. I can't wait. This looks great.

And I love it how about 14 years ago people were saying Pokémon is just a fad that will pass soon.

 

[vall03]

Please be 60fps. Please don't have a slow battle system due to the new graphics engine again.

its only slow on Double and Triple Battles though,

3DS saved.

No joke.

Monster Hunter, Dragon Quest and Pokemon in 2013. Japan is seriously going to explode with 3DS

 

[Boss Doggie]

Holy shit I just realized.

FIRST TIME GRASS STARTER ISN'T A REPTILIAN OF SOME SORT!

 

[Naked Snake]

mon-thes

 

[Owlowiscious]

Starters?

New legendary?

uh is the katakana calling the fire starter "fukk-" the grass starter "harley moron" and the water starter "chromutts"

 

[Vitet]

All those names on the startes are how they will be named in some languages?

 

[DragonKnight]

Overworld looked a bit jarring at first but if you looked in the lower right corner it looks like the game footage is not final. Also, what do you guys mean when you say itll look better on a 3DS screen? And finally dynamic battles. Not really feeling any of the starters.

 

[GSR]

So that Eiffel Tower like building would indicate that this is a Europe themed world?

It's the Cosmic Elevator from Time Travelers.

Level-5 co-development confirmed.

 

[Hylian7]

Fennekin best starter, fire starter usually best starter.

 

[EatChildren]

Is there Fennekin fan faction yet?

 

[grandjedi6]

more like Golden Sun Dark Dawn tbh

Which almost makes me wonder if Game Freak is getting development help with this title...

 

[Seven Force]

That fire starter is seriously awesome looking. Hopefully it doesn't evolve into another fucking Fire/Fighting type.

My only disappointment is I expected a "Red and Blue available now in eShop" at the end of the presentation Still, can't wait!

Yeah, I was hoping for this, too.

 

[Frost_Ace]

Please be 60fps. Please don't have a slow battle system due to the new graphics engine again.

THIS THIS THIS.

 

[Acosta]

Looks great! Kudos to Nintendo for worldwide release.

 

[tsumineko]

Hahahaha, "Fock". Awesome name.

 

[jokkir]

I have a feeling they started making this on the DS and somewhere in the middle of development, they switched to 3DS. Looks a bit like DS graphics in a way

 

[farnham]

this will finally kickstart 3DS in NA or EU. if not, it will be hard for nintendo

 

[90TilInfinity]

I think the flying legendary was shaped more like a Y. And the four-legged legendary was shaped like an X.

Yeah, you're right. My bad.

 

[Dragoon En Regalia]

They showed sprites of both male and female trainers, and they both seemed to have the same outfits.

They first showed the he in front of mirror, checking out his stuff. That's a subtle hint towards something, perhaps. I just want to see the Sugimori art, if there is any!

 

[EVOL 100%]

Is there Fennekin fan faction yet?

I give it 10 more minutes

 

[Hours Left]

That's the third fire starter in a row that I've liked the least. (Though Fennekin isn't that bad.) C'mon fire, get it together.

 

[2+2=5]

Oh man, finished the colors now they begin with letters...

Pokemon Why

Lol

 

[Ragus]

I'M SO FUCKING HAPPY ;_;

 

[brinstar]

A simultaneous release is gonna be nuts, we'll be playing the game blind for the first time

 

[Ushojax]

The only thing I don't like about the graphics is the lighting in the field sections. Get some shadows going and some smoother animations and it will be perfect.

 

[also]

Chespin >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Fennekin = Froakie

I will miss sprites. The Pokemon models look okay but every Pokemon with fur will look like shit.

 

[cw_sasuke]

I wouldn't have minded a better looking overworld though. Isn't this like PSP quality at best?

At least the battles look okay.

The game is still in development and i doubt we have seen allit`ll bring to the table when it comes to presentation with its 3D graphics. B/W 1 and 2 can look pretty standards in many moments but then you battle the Elite 4 and enter some really great looking areas for the DS.

But lets see how it develops...

 

[Kokonoe]

Frog is hideous, but the Fox is beauty.

 

[Styles]

This is too much at once, let me recoup my pearls.

 

[Ashodin]

Is there Fennekin fan faction yet?

fiction?

Fennekin took a turn for the worse, as it got hit, repeatedly by the stray Oshawott. I couldn't let that happen, and I dived into to take the hit.


"Fennekin... I love you."

"Fennekin! Fennekin! Fennnn...ekin!"

It leapt in front of me and kept on fighting, just like I knew it would.
