There's plenty of greedy corporations that would do such things. Even Capcom has done it to their Mega Man X iOS remake.
I'm soooo glad Nintendo is seriously against that shit.

And before anyone brings up GtI, remember that every single piece of DLC in there is optional and isn't single-use.

Nintendo's DLC is still pretty variable at this point. They did the big Luigi pack for NSMBU, but had individual stages for NSMB2 and Fire Emblem Awakening.
NSMB2's DLC was very cheap and offered 3 stages per pack, not individual. I can't speak for Fire Emblem, but from what I'm given to understand, that DLC is still relatively substantial

Does your calendar say July 4th?
Oh, I wasn't aware they had set a date on the video. I just remember seeing 'stay tuned'. Cool, I guess.

Hm? FE DLC was great! $2.50 for a decently substantial map that offered some great bonuses (i.e. Characters with otherwise-unobtainable skill combinations or amazing skills like Limit Breaker and Paragon), fleshed-out additional story content for narrative fans, and hardcore challenges to put your skills to the test. They could even be bought in packs of 3 for $6 if you were a fan of an entire series of maps. There were admittedly a few stinkers here and there, but judging by the community response to FE's DLC in general, it was a smart move on Nintendo's part.
I see Pokémon DLC for main games being the same, but more advance, as it is now. We'll get event Pokémon through SpotPass (downloadable manually if you do so wish). Through the Global Link, we'll be able to customise stuff like the PSS interface etc. Perhaps get new clothes for our characters through promotions. All free of course.
Then, when the enhanced version/sequel/whatever they do next comes out, we'll get a free bit of DLC/patchwork that adds any new forms into X & Y.
I also hope that the Mythical Pokémon for the Kalos region aren't added until after they are announced, just through patches that are required to go online, and propagate when you wirelessly connect akin to the Berry Glitch fix in Ruby & Sapphire. This would make the reveals amazing once again. Last year, I was so sick of some of the responses when Nintendo revealed them. Things like "I have one already", "Show us a new generation" "I already know about these" and so forth.

Hows my favourite community?
I thought I'd drop by and put this up.
My folder of all the Pokemon Conquest art I could find, just incase some of you want it as avatars (though you'll need to do the transparent part, deeply sorry d

Well damn, I must have misremembered everything about it lol. I haven't gotten any DLC other than the first one you have to pay for. That does sound alright.
Yes, this will be amazing. Any new pokemon they reveal in the coming years to fill out the generation will be brand new. That's exciting, because even if the 3DS and game is hacked and information obtained, there'd be no data for the pokemon that would be later added in through DLC.

I would like to know if we will ever know version exclusive pokemon for X and Y before release date? If games didn't even leak out.
That would be cool, even if it isn't an actual sequel like Luigi U. I wonder how well Luigi U sold, I wouldn't mind seeing more expansions like that.
Heck, Sega should pull another Sonic & Knuckles and make a DLC expansion to a game to includes double the content w/ playable Tails and Knuckles and have them playable in all zones (just like Sonic 3 & Knuckles!).

So is it June 6th French time, or Japan time?
The funny thing is he's actually had a birthday on screen twice. Not that it's seemed to affect his age any xd
Really? I'm kinda curious to check out those eps.

July 4th marks 100 days until the launch of X and Y.
Just throwing that out there.

The way I see it, if you ignore the narrator at the start of BW, then the whole dispute of Ash's age is rendered useless as that is the only time his age has been mentioned since the first episode.
There have been several mentions to a couple of years having passed, and the animators draw Ash much more maturely, and even have him act more mature (contrary to popular belief in the western Pokémon fandom)
Seriously, look how much he has changed. Goes clockwise: Original, AG, DP, BW then XY in the middle.
The only thing that skews it a bit is the change in Ash's eyes in BW to match the style they had been using for a while

It's probably just perspective and his shirt but man does Ash look a lot skinnier in X/Y.

You still have time, you can still retire him for someone else!
They really don't. Episodes are animated six months prior to airing. They're at least 12 episodes into XY, production wise.
Plus, it'd just be the same stuff with a new character.

Yeah the skinny suit makes him look taller.
With that said I prefer the look of this Ash.

Truth to be told, I still love Ash for all his deficiencies.
And just as I'm trying to get all the Eeveelutions, I ran out of Thunderstones.

But the characterizations they've been giving Ash might actually make sense if it were someone new to Pokemon.

I don't know about this part - I think I do prefer the new eyes over the old eyes. It's more... consistent that way.

We'll probably know some of them, but nowhere near every single one. For example, IIRC, we knew that Reuniclus and Gothitelle were exclusive to White and Black respectively before launch, but we didn't know about say, Braviary and Mandibuzz being exclusives.
You mean something they did briefly in the first couple of episodes of the anime and then went back to how he was before that?
Here's something fun to talk about: Unlicensed Pokemon stuff
I swear, every pirated Pokemon product is always hilariously bad, like even more so than most pirate originals. here's two examples.

It's not even just video games, look at THIS fucking thing! This somehow found a way to make Pikachu look like an abomination! I wonder how many kids pay to ride on this freak...

I've seen much better unlicensed stuff! This is the stuff of nightmares.

We'll know bits and pieces of the full picture, but chances are that there'll be unrevealed Pokemon that are version exclusive.
Typically, prior to launch of the game, we get informed of just a handful of version exclusive features, and that's all. The bulk isn't known until launch

Jesus christ, that Pikachu ride is terrifying. I'm pretty sure i'd get nightmares if I saw it as a kid.

My favorite bootleg Pokemon is when it's not a bootleg.
Telefang (ripped as Pokemon Diamond) is awesome! Crypto is cute too!
