The war thing makes a good worldbuilding tho, especially that route that leads to Geosenge.

Aww yiss! The digital broadcast for this is Venusaur, so one of Sanpei's bros. Next ep has Greninja in the db.
Yeah the plot to X/Y just felt weird and disconnected coming off of B/W. And AZ just comes across as a weak character design to me. I don't think the idea of the story itself was bad, it just needed to be peppered across the game more. I remember really liking the credits sequence though.
Like with B/W... man even if you thought the story was stupid I think that game used its characters so much more effectively. All the NPC's and Gym Leaders and stuff felt much more present in my mind than the ones in X/Y.

Interesting project: this person is going to attempt to create a device that will let you trade from Gen 2 to Gen 3 (!)

Will keep a eye on this while it progresses - it will be interesting to see how, aside from the physical aspects, they'll handle the data conversions involved.

So I'm organizing my Pokemon in the Bank to try to make a living dex. I'm sitting there for like an hour when I got to the middle of Hoenn, I go to save it and it fucking crashes and I lost all my progress.
I've almost finished my living dex, I've just got a few Gen 5 and 6 mons left to grab!
The question is, is it well done?
My boyfriend and I have tattoos of our favourite Pokés, but they're in spots that are rarely uncovered
Yeah I will admit that gen 6 had problem with its pacing. In fact X and Y had three story running at the same time.
-Mega mystery, resolved at Shalour City and during post game.
-Team Flare story, got crammed into one huge section with no breathing space what so ever.
-The War that occurred 3000 years ago, this was peppered within the region with NPC mentioning but then we got the biggest part of the story from AZ which was crammed in during Team Flare.
The biggest problem was that Game Freak did a poor job in pacing the story, which seem like a step backward from gen 5 which told its story effectively.
Plus to this day I have no idea how Yveltal/Xerneas plays into the story of the great war or where they fit within the Kalos lore.
Which is why I get the feeling that "Pokémon Z" story is going to much better than what X and Y offered as Zygarde will play a big part in the game, plus Game Freak will go all out to end gen 6 with a bang.
There were other good moment like how Ghetsis messed up N just to get what he wanted.
Honestly if you focus on Ghetsis and Team Plasma "liberating" Pokémon you will most out on the story of gen 5.
For example I really dug Unova lore and how the Twins raged wars with their dragon and pretty much destroyed their kingdom.
Agreed, Korrina is the only character that actually played somewhat of a role during the game.
Heck she did more than Diantha.

I hope they bring some stuff from the XY anime, like Clemont's dad.

I'd prefer a sequel, I enjoyed BW2 way more than the other "third versions" since it felt more original and unique.
Agreed, Cyrus is a twisted individual who will do anything to obtain his goal and this includes hiding his true plan from his underling.
Plus he's the only villain in the entire Pokémon series to actually succeed with his plan.
The section option.
Honestly what I want out of Pokémon Z is,
-Less gen 1 pandering, lets use Z to celebrate Gen 6 coming to a close.
-The ability to take off roller skates, I didn't like them.
-More option in customizing trainers, especially for boys.
-The option to turn on auto-run like how Heart Gold and Soul Silver had.
-The return of Challenge mode but not version exclusive and not locked till post game.
-No forced Mega tutorial, granted OR/AS didn't do this but I would like that to continue.
-Don't force me to send a Pokémon back to the PC just to add a legendary to my team in the middle of the adventure, it was annoying how OR/AS forced me to do that for Latias/Latios. I will take them but I didn't want them in my team.
-Less of the hand holding, OR/AS literally pointed out where you needed to go and do, I get that the game is aimed at young kids but at least dial back on that.
-Better pace the story, X and Y was really bad at story pacing and just squashed it all into one section with no breathing space.
-Fix Lumiose City camera issue.
-Have the camera pan back when surf in Azure Bay, I couldn't see anything due to how close the camera was.
-Let the Gym leaders play a bigger role within the story, so far only Korrina is the only one to that.
-Make Korrina the Champion instead of Diantha.
-Change up some of the Gym leader and give dark a gym, they are the only type not to get one.
-Give Gym Leaders and Elite 4 mega, it just seems silly that you make a big deal about them and hide them post game or give them to select people.
-Let us rebattle gym leaders, so far none of the gen 6 games let us do that.
-Have one and only one rival, the group of friend things was dumb and didn't work.
-Better post game please, Delta Episode was cool albeit poorly done.
-Bring back Zinnia, I liked her.
-Let me catch another event Pokémon in-game, it was cool finally being able to catch Deoxys and I would like to see more of that.
-Please please bring back the VS. seeker
-Cynthia cameo please.
... I don't think that I am asking for me.
There's room for both if they are done well and personally I like challenging the gym while taking down the evil team.
One day Z will be announced (not that I was expecting much from this event). I wonder if they'll wait until next year to announce it at this point.
Edit: Does any one know how Pokemon TV works? They have the first ten episodes of XY on there which I'd like to watch. Do they ever put up more of them or just keep the first ones?
lol gawwwd I feel like I'm crawling through a desert

Would be legitimately surprised if we heard about it before 2016 now.
As would I. Feb reveal for June launch is my new theory but who knows. I've given up predicting things, especially as when I post predictions here, parts of the Internet go crazy, act like it's scripture and then insult me when it comes to not pass.
February reveal confirmed.
I'll make the thread.

I guess we'll just have to wait in December
Any chance the reveal happens during the final Nintendo Direct of this year?
Development has to be nearing completion as this point.

Oh yeah movie info usually hits around December so that might hint something. The Diance movie teaser showed no indication of Diancie but the Hoopa one made it obvious so who knows.
Sooo you're saying I should expect an announcement and be hyped?
Game Freak please there is only so much I can take before I disappointed.
Same, it's worse for me as Europe doesn't get Yo-kai Watch till 2016 and that point I won't be bothered.
Well at least we get Mario and Luigi Paper Jam Bros.
Anything is possible.
I'm finishing up Xenoblade in time to play X, so I've got no shortage of games to play, but I'm getting more and more in a Pokemon mood again and would love a new title to speculate over, haha.
I guess this wait is a good thing... try and get people revved up again after the back to back releases of X/Y and OR/AS.
In the meantime I guess I'll chip away more at the free copy of Y I got from Club Nintendo a while back.
No. I really wish they would go the route of gen 1 and just have the evil team sort of be something that gets in your way but doesn't affect what your goal is. When I played yellow, I was always pumped when it was time for a gym battle so I could get that little badge on my player info screen and then eventually the elite four. Now a days I completely forget there apart of the game as I'm supposed to focus on stopping evil team from catching legendary pokemon, to take over world.
Hey I just started playing Pokemon X!
Why does the game freeze for a bit whenever I try and pick an item up?
Also I think I just triggered a random battle by simply turning around, not taking a step - if that a thing now?
Also it wouldn't let me call my Fletchling, 'Felching'.

If you're playing without sound, them it looks like the game freezes when you pick up an item, but actually its waiting for the sound effect to play
And turning is considered a step when triggering battles against wild pokemon
But I don't know why its restricting that name
Yeah I am just whittling away at Chibi Robo Zip Lash, it's okay but not amazing. then I am going to play the first Mario and Luigi game before Paper Jam releases.
Then after I have finished Paper Jam, I will be playing Pokémon Crystal to scratch that Pokémon itch.
I just worried that I start Pokémon Crystal and then Pokémon get released while I am playing it... though that will be unlikely.
Also it wouldn't let me call my Fletchling, 'Felching'.
I am guessing the the "Ching" part is what triggering the swear word censor.
Honestly Pokémon is teaching me swear words with it's censorship system and I don't think Game Freak intended for that.
Oh I didn't know that.
Despite a 1-hour special and the premiere of a new season, Pocket Monsters XY&Z didn't manage to chart on last week's Top 10. While that doesn't suggest it necessarily did bad, this must be quite concerning for the production. They are trying a lot of novelties lately, and that doesn't seem to increase the series' output. If introducing original content on the TV anime prior to the games doesn't help, I'm not sure what could. It is worth noting however that the XY finale did a 4.5% last week, which means that XY&Z + Mega IV could still have had a slight increase over that (since #10 is at 4.7% this week).
Incidentally, Pokémon TV has added XY episodes. Just the first 10 for the time being, but pretty nice. I have to say that Pokémon TV (and by extension the Nintendo Anime Channel) is a solution they haven't properly presumed upon yet. That relates to Yo-Kai Watch's mediocre premiere in the US as well. Digital distribution (coupled with the proportionate advertising) in such services should play a major role in the future.

After how X and Y were, they can take as long as they want on Z. It needs a lot of improvement.
Ideally, it should be much less linear. I mean, there's a central city connecting the whole region that appears about 1-3 hours into the game, the perfect moment to let the player start making their own decisions about where to go. I mean, everyone thought that was going to be how the map was for a reason pre-X/Y. It lends itself so well to openness. Just do it.

Seconded.
You could easily scale the levels of the gym leaders, and trigger story events by the number of badges you have.

Problem with non-linear gyms is that their difficulty never scales.

I sometimes wonder if Pokémon will still be around once I'm gone.
Can easily be done by having teams which the game accesses based on the amount of badges you have already.
