New gameplay? Does that mean I won't have to engage in battle every time a stranger spots me?

 

[Antiwhippy]

Looks like I'll have to pick up a 3DS sometime this year.

[B-Dubs]

Just take all of my money, just take it.

 

[Charoncaori]

Worldwiiiiiiide

That makes me kind of sad, there goes most of my motivation to import.

Let the gender wars begin? =D

 

[TreIII]

That Fennec starter and that Legendary. And bravo for that WW release. Might as well, since you're not going to really give me the option of importing anymore~

 

[Ashodin]

Dude my hype is through the roof.

I saw that Fire/Flying? Legendary and I'm sold.

 

[clemenx]

Don't know how I feel about the world but LOVED how the Pokemon looked.

 

[Boss Doggie]

X = the stag legendary Y = the bird legendary.

What's Z?

I don’t know what’s crazier - The fact that Nintendo finally announced a different looking main Pokemon game or the fact that people actually still give a shit about Pokemon.

Yeah because its audience are only the kids from the 90's m i rite?

Only about 30 million people do..I guess..

 

[Wurst]

Those Nintendo Directs? I love them!

 

[Javier]

Froakie is best starter.

 

[Dr.Palutena]

It's on bitches. Team Firefox , Team X

 

[ffdgh]

Perfect way to start a direct for the new year. Hype justified

 

[Exterminieren]

Worldwide release.

I will have surprises.

IM SO HAPPY GUYS.

 

[bon]

Looks great, I'm glad they went with cell shading.

 

[Andrefpvs]

Iwata dropped the bomb. What did everyone think of the graphics?

Also, I knew it was freaking Gen 6, it could only be

 

[Ollie Pooch]

Cool, but that overworld footage looked like shit.

 

[Social]

people still freak out about Pokemon games... I am shocked

 

[Dragoon En Regalia]

Travelling didn't look that good but the battle scenes were amazing.

I wonder how they'll be able to indicate grid position from different camera angles and with that graphical edginess.

 

[duckroll]

I think Sandlot is developing the game, judging from the framerate. Nintendo must have liked Reginleiv! Lol.

 

[Gravijah]

I laugh at all you who thought it would be sprites! Bwahahaha! I laugh so much I die! then revive! then die! then revive! Oh gosh, this materia won't stop reviving me! BWAHAHAHA.

anyone who thought it was sprites is crazy. i am just happy it's not the godawful Pokedex 3D models. this look is exactly what i wanted in 3D and is the best looking of any 3D models we have seen sofar.

 

[Aeana]

The framerate out of battle looked pretty bad, though.

 

[YAWN]

Awesome stuff. Lovin' everything, but was hoping for a Platypus starter! Maybe next gen...

 

[Majukun]

didn't got a good vibe by the game,and i0m rather disappointed by the graphics,looking how refined are the models on the 3ds pokèdex...anyway is a a new pokèmon episode,so i can't complain

 

[tnaden]

Y day 1!
Have to have a flying legendary.

Sweet direct, lots of information.

 

[toddhunter]

Nintendo knows Australia exists now.

 

[LyleLanley]

October seems quite far away.

 

[Nilaul]

What platform? No info in OP.

iOS

Spoiler

3DS

 

[lordfroakie]

YES! NEW GAME COMING AND PERFECT GIFT FOR ME! WTF@Starters 0_o

 

[SamRambles]

Oh lawd.

 

[Vermillion]

Still riding a cool hype high...

Graphics aren't as good as I wanted, but it's pretty much what I've wanted since 3DS was a thing, sooooo....!

 

[Anuxinamoon]

Most beautiful of all!!

Love that deer legendary! FUUUUUU!

My dreams! They have been realized!

 

[jokkir]

[Malvingt2]

SUPERIOR Y!!!!!!

Why?Because Y!

lolol

 

[Hiltz]

I'd be lying if I weren't slightly interested in this announcement. Those starter pokemon they showed off didn't look cool. Hopefully, their evolved forms will make up for it.

 

[grandjedi6]

I'm still laughing my ass off that they finally ran out of colors

Looked pretty awesome though

 

[ajim]

AMAZING announcement!

Those new Pokemon looked awesome.

Worldwide simultaneous release is what we've always wanted.

 

[ColtraineGF]

Way more than I expected. Waaay more.
