Lucky Japan. They always get to try things early. xD How would you be able to get your hands on these demo, though? From the eShop?

It wont be a downloable eShop demo, they will probably be set up in specific stores like they did with HGSS.

I'm just worried about any false information we may get. Does anyone know if this was a problem with previous demos?

Although I do hope they show sky battles or horde encounters, not that I'll get to see it. It will still be nice to know more about how those work.

I don't think we'll be getting the early routes of the game. The demo was stated to be focusing on Mega Evolution and I don't think that they will be available very early in the game. Also, it is almost inevitable that we will not see at least one new Pokémon. Chances are there will be more than one area to explore and we will see something new. They can't just block out certain Pokémon from appearing. Well, I'm pretty sure they can but it is probably unlikely.

Kinda sorta. I remember for Black/White's demo, someone posted a screenshot of a double wild battle(which was rare in the demo, considering you needed it to be Winter to access the dark grass, and seasons were random in the demo), and within the battle was a Munna and Audino. Everyone thought Audino's design was fake, since they were rumored something differently, but Audino is still the same ol' Audino.

There is a good chance that someone will take this advantage of proclaiming things they've seen in the upcoming demo which they really didn't. I say just stick with PokeJungle when the weekend passes by, since they'll have people trying to cover as much as they can whenever they can.


Edit: To add on, I believe the demo will probably be around 10 minutes per run, to allow the player to be able to use a few mega evolutions and to explore their surroundings as they play through. Pokemon demos have never been long at all, and usually contained only one town/city and a route, so this will be relatively small I'd imagine.

Okay, now that we have a thread that has all of the information from the demo, I think I'll close this one up and allow the discussion to continue there!
