Downloading now in the US :3

 

[Grylvak]

Demo is live.

 

[Busaiku]

FINALLY

 

[davdavdav]

It's up, kids!

Hopefully my shitty internet can download it in a reasonable amount of time lol

 

[Falchion]

Nice, going to download as soon as I get home.

 

[Styles]

What about FPS?

Pretttty bad during battles(especially the Totem battle) and when using the poke finder.

 

[Magnus]

Seems like the total opposite actually

How would it play/load better on a regular 3DS than on a New 3DS?

it's the same on either

You've tried the new demo on both?

 

[Fireblend]

Haha, you know what I meant there seems to be no difference. Several people have commented on it already.

 

[Magnus]

Oh ok. Good! I'd only read a few comments that suggested the loads were longer on reg 3DS.

 

[LeonSPBR]

Demo is live.

YES. Thank you.

 

[DNAbro]

Playing now.

 

[sukeban]

took long enough

 

[HawthorneKitty]

Playing now.

Thanks for telling us that you're playing lol.

 

[Taco_Human]

Downloading now, gonna shower. Should be done when I'm done.

 

[DNAbro]

Thanks for telling us that you're playing lol.

lol

Maybe I should have said download was incredibly fast. It kind of surprised me.

[Grylvak]

I've noticed that this demo takes a page from Smash 3DS. On the o3DS, when you close the game the system has to reboot.

Also on o3DS when using

Spoiler

Greninja's Night Slash

the game slows down a little bit. N3DS does not seem to have that slowdown? Not entirely sure yet.

 

[JPBrowncoat]

Anybody point out you can mark a Pokémon directly in the summary screen now and you can mark it either blue or red?

 

[Sou Da]

Updated the OP.

 

[brinstar]

oh my god the overworld is so much nicer, now we're talkin'. This was my biggest complaint about XY

I'll need to double check, but when I used that move on my n3ds, I didn't experience any slowdown...

EDIT: Yep completely smooth throughout.

 

[Vanillalite]

How bad is the framerate with the new overworld view?

 

[Sou Da]

How bad is the framerate with the new overworld view?

Smooth. Only real lag is during the Pokefinder stuff.

 

[Rush_Khan]

Uh... does this game not support 3D or something? I can't activate it in the demo.

Is this common for newer games? I admit I haven't turned on my 3DS since X&Y lol

 

[13ruce]

Just downloaded demo and just started playing it, oh man it looks so good!

3D is only for the Pokéfinder.

 

[Boss Doggie]

Why do you still need to hold B to run :<

 

[Rush_Khan]

3D is only for the Pokéfinder.

I don't know what that is, but I don't blame them for removing 3D from the main game. The frame rate got pretty atrocious in XY with it on.

 

[Falchion]

Why do you still need to hold B to run :<

No more skates? That was the best part of X and Y.

 

[fadedbones]

"We're not bad, we're just hard!"

Team skull best team

 

[Askherserenity]

Looks so much better than I thought it would. Damn.

 

[KingBroly]

I like that once you get the Pokemon seen in your Dex, it'll tell you if a move is a effective or not.

 

[Syntsui]

No more skates? That was the best part of X and Y.

Thank god no more skates, it was a pain in the ass to control the character.

 

[Weebos]

Any word on Alolan Dugtrio's type?

 

[sonto340]

Thank god no more skates, it was a pain in the ass to control the character.

HGSS got it right by making running a toggle.

 

[fadedbones]

This is pretty damn cool.

Hang on, is using L+A the first time we've actually had to use the shoulder buttons in a Pokemon game? My L button is starting to crap out so I'm feeling kinda miffed right now.

 

[balladofwindfishes]

I don't know what that is, but I don't blame them for removing 3D from the main game. The frame rate got pretty atrocious in XY with it on.

It's the Pokemon Snap minigame mode

 

[TheSeks]

Is there no way to save?

You could actually hit L+A to check out moves in XY/ORAS and even the Black/White games as well. It just never showed you the prompt.

Is there no way to save?

Saves automatically at certain points.

 

[Spiritwalker]

Is there no 3D in this game? Can't seem to get it working.

 

[DNAbro]

Spin the circle pad around without running. It's kind of funny.

 

[TheSeks]

Saves automatically at certain points.

Oh, that's funky.

That is good to hear. Assuming this is the same across everyone else's experience with the demo, Sun & Moon may have some performance enhancements using a N3DS.

Now I just need to get to the

Spoiler

PokeFinder Spots

and the

Spoiler

Totem Battle

at the end and see if there are any differences there.

 

[Askherserenity]

Nope

 

[wiibomb]

nope, doesn't seem to have any at all.

a shame, really, but I guess it is better to not include it if it runs like shit

got there and no slowdows at all..

I'm so happy about this demo, bodes well for the games

Whoa. Goshdarn pokeyman games and their hidden features. Glad they're being upfront about it now though.

 

[Anony]

how long is the demo? anyone finished it already?

 

[wiibomb]

how long is the demo? anyone finished it already?

this one seems to be more like the ORAS demo, it needs several runs to finish all content.

main content is about 15 minutes, though.

 

[Grylvak]

On a N3DS I assume?

 

[Onimusha78]
