Support NeoGAF

[Antiwhippy]

Most of the time I'm listening to podcasts and my own music when I'm portable gaming.

Listening to Danny brown while playing Pokemon.

 

[Shengar]

I think the nicknaming theme this time shall be... Shakespeare characters.

Delphox - Leontes
Venasaur - Lysander

I never thought there are anybody beside who nicknamed their Pokemon
I'll probably went with Dumas's characters.

Do we have any confirmation on 4 player WiFi Doubles. That would take GAF battles to new heights...

And also.... I don't understand what's so special about "Sky battles". I understand only flying pokemon can participate but what's the point in that? Only flying or levitate can be used and it just limits your pool...

Idk anyone can explain the allure? I'm loving horde battles though.

 

[podracer35]

(Also those are just the three I can obtain in this at launch... If I could transfer on Saturday, I'd seriously consider a playthrough with all six fire starters.)

A six starter run sounds awesome! I never realized that was an option until just now!

Oh the possibilities of having six generations....

 

[Exterminieren]

My copy's preparing for dispatch from The Hut.

 

[chickdigger802]

wonder how many unique attack animations are there per pokemon. Wonder if mega punch will look different from mega kick for example

 

[TheContact]

I'm debating whether or not to get this. The problem I have with Pokemon games is I play them for about 10 hours then I just lose all interest, but I really do like the games but they tend to get boring fast

 

[Mother Green]

Is it known, if the games will have the ingame photofunction like ACNL? That would be so cool.

How can you like them but yet get bored by them....

Well there is a ton more new here than the last 3 games combined. Try your luck.

 

[Kouriozan]

Yes. The new Pokémon Global Link.

And this

One of the new features in Pokémon X & Y is the ability to take photos of your journey around the Kalos region. These photos are often superfluous, but they can be uploaded onto your Pokémon Global Link timeline and shared amongst your friends.

 

[Starwolf_UK]

The amount of battery you'd save by doing that would be so negligible it isn't worth it imo.

Is that because the volume is controlled by a resistor going to the speakers or just things like screen being a much bigger power drain?

You're supposed to be able to access Pokemon Bank at any time, so I don't see there being any restriction at all.

I imagine it'll be like Gen 3 (when using Pokemon box or Colosseum) where you get the Pokemon and no national 'dex (This meant means I never knew how far I was from finishing in Gen 3 as Ruby was my main game but one GBA at the time...even if I did transfer everything to FR the Kyogre entry would be missing*)

*-I dislike legendaries in general but version exclusive ones irritate.

 

[Dr. Buni]

Yes. The new Pokémon Global Link.

We don't know if this feature works like the feature in ACNL. Unless you can press L+R and take photos anywhere in the game, it won't be the same thing. :c

I think they should make water battle when surfing and diving, exclusive only to water Pokemon.

 

[chickdigger802]

how do you sky battle if you have no flying levitate guy with ya?

 

[Rizsparky]

how do you sky battle if you have no flying levitate guy with ya?

Ask Charizard X!

 

[Fireblend]

how do you sky battle if you have no flying levitate guy with ya?

I guess the sky battle trainers will not challenge you unless you have at least one Pokemon that can participate in a sky battle.

Awww yeah, 4 days. I can't wait. So hyped.

Some people in the UK are already purchasing the game, apparently. Meanwhile, in Spain:

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/19663158/Comunicacion_Pokemon_Nintendo2DS_081013.pdf

I don't know if this document is real (it seems like it is). The underlined part says "don't you dare sell the game before the 12th, or else. If you do, remember clause 7.3, we may reduce the amount of games you receive or stop sending you games at all".

Amusing part? The 12th of October is a national holiday, think 4th of July in the USA.

 

[Anilusion]

How long does it take to unlock trading in the game?

 

[Cloud Strife]

How long does it take to unlock trading in the game?

I'd like to know this as well

 

[Aggrotek]

How long does it take to unlock trading in the game?

Probably either right before, or after the 1st gym.

 

[peanutbutterlatte]

Argh can't access my internet banking so no clue if ShopTo have charged me or not yet... my anticipation is total!

 

[chickdigger802]

wonder if pc management got any changes. still never got why there is deposit/withdraw when move does both and better?

 

[peanutbutterlatte]

I don't think so. I'll look forward to an Iwata Ask: Pokemon X/Y soon.

"We hired more than our usual one intern who took a Spanish class in college to do the European translation. This proved super effective!"

 

[Mother Green]

Someone dare to look in the Leak Thread?

 

[IllumiNate]

If you purchase both X/Y how do u transfer Pokemon from one game to the next without having another 3DS, is it possible?

 

[Avixph]

If you purchase both X/Y how do u transfer Pokemon from one game to the next without having another 3DS, is it possible?

Pokébank when it comes out in December.

 

[Diprosalic]

not yet. a webservice will be available in december and free for a month.
send them to someone from gaf and he sends them back.

 

[chickdigger802]

curious if they've taken actions to prevent people from hacking in custom pokemon into global trade network.

 

[Starwolf_UK]

Run to the nearest ATM of your bank and check the recent transactions (or any ATM if you know your balance), its the only way.

Its probably like AI control in Dragon Quest games. Some traditionalists like to play that way. Well at least that is how I felt about it. Deposit and widthdraw can be slightly faster though, unless you need to change boxes.

Most retailers probably got a mail like that but some just don't care. The 12th being a holiday is unfortunate for the spanish gamers though.

Someone dare to look in the Leak Thread?

I am posting there since the thread was opened, but I don't recall any leaks regarding this feature. No wait, actually, there is ONE picture that may mean the feature is similar to the one in ACNL. I will spoiler the link for those who don't want to see it (also don't worry, there is 0 new Pokémon in the picture):

That's like up to 70 metres away. What am I, a Triathlete? I guess it should move from my Pre-Orders to my Orders tomorrow if it ships, anybody who used Shop-To?

 

[dock]

Is there any information on trainer customisation and gender options?
My purchase pretty much pivots on this.

This may be the first time I use a female avatar for a pokemon game. The fashion options are just too good.

 

[Mother Green]

Pokébank when it comes out in December.

Be careful though, Pokemon that would evolve when traded, won't if transferred with Pokebank.

So what's the point of that? Besides the dual types and couple of pokemon who qualify, everything is a flying type and you'll be trading neutral blows... I dont see the fun in that...

Aside from it, other pokemon are going to shut the tier rankings down. If I use all Emolgas, everything is fucked up. How is that gonna work?

Same with your "Water Battles", Whats stopping a team of Lanturns? Or Stunfisks? Or Ludicolos? Im destroying a whole tier of pokemon by exploting thier weakness. It litterally filters them out to get whacked.

Until I see it firsthand, I think GF didn't think this through

 

[Exterminieren]

My copy is arriving TOMORROW

Well, there goes the rest of my week.

Awesome! We'll need to battle once I get my copy on Saturday

WHO DID YOU ORDER WITH? D:

 

[IllumiNate]

Can we evolve the Charmander starter we get into his Mega evolution Charizard X? Or do we acquire him through other means?

Yepp, you need the Charzardite X stone you will get at some point.

 

[Exterminieren]

WHO DID YOU ORDER WITH? D:

The Hut. I got a tip-off that they were shipping early, placed my order this morning, got email confirmation of dispatch and arrival date this afternoon.

 

[Effect]

Anyone deciding to go digital with their purchase? Still trying to do decide myself.

 

[Neoriceisgood]

Someone dare to look in the Leak Thread?

I keep looking in there by accident when lazily browsing gaf. I'm shocked I've gone into it like 5 times without getting anything spoiled.

 

[JoeM86]

As may mine. Though, I am currently uncertain if I will begin coverage on the site then, or hold off for a massive blowout on Friday...

 

[WhenItsLate]

4 days can feel so incredibly long :/ Amazon likely won't dispatch the game till Friday... UGH.

 

[DaBoss]

It's faster to deposit or withdraw Pokemon if you only want to do either of those things.

 

[L.O.R.D]
