X/Y General Chat and Speculation

[Twilight Sky]

Ew, make the cries stay! There'd be no point to taking them out, anyway. o_O

[pokemonmasteraaron]

Some people say they are annoying. However, that is a key element ofPokémon!!!!!! Ever since they took the cries out of the in battle menu (starting in 4th gen), I've had trouble switching Pokémon. Seriously, I see no problem with the cries!
I hope this new developement in Pokémon doesn't effect the cries. Or if it does, in a possitive way. Like adding them back to the Pokémon in battle menu.

[Sydian]

Why would they take cries away? That's been a staple in the series since it started. Even the Stadium games recognize cries (though most aren't accurate to their main series counterpart, but still).

[LilJz1234]

No way. I always enjoyed hearing the Pokemon cries whenever it came out of it's Pokeball or when I interacted with it in HG. It's what makes the Pokemon more alive. Would you really want a mute Pokemon? Imagine Whismur, Loudred and Exploud being mute. It just doesn't seen right. I like the cries and I hope they don't take it out.

I'm just wondering, how many of you people think that the cries should be takes out of Pokémon.

Would you really stop playing if they took them away? I doubt they will. Many Pokémon have different anime voices in different languages, so it'd be easier to keep cries the way they are. But expect more unique sounding cries, taking advantage of the 3DS more.

I don't think it was strictly plot-wise; GameFreak appears to have intentionally reserved certain features for certain types of games.

I don't see that happening; a Pokémon HAS to make some kind of sound. What I'd prefer is if they just changed all the Game Boy cries to the Pokémon Stadium cries. Some of these old Game Boy-synthesized cries are getting old.

[pokemonmasteraaron]

I'm glad you all think the cries should stay. I'm sure they won't be taken out. I just wanted to see if this was a common viewpoint of the fans.

[Miss Doronjo]

Yeah I'm hoping for sort of Stadium-esque cries too; or more of a realistic animal/pokemon-esque cry? Hmmm.

It's not like I would want to quit playing the game because they took the cries away, I'd have too.
I am blind. How am I supposed to know if the Pokémon I'm battling is a Bulbasaur, Tyranitar, Vibrava, Carnivine, tepig or xerneas if they don't have creis?

I wouldn't mind Stadium like cries. Ponyta for example.

[LilJz1234]

Speaking of Pokemon spin-off games, you think it would be cool if Gen V had more Spin off games?

How would you tell apart Charizard and Rhyhorn, they have the same cry. Whereas if they got updated cries, they could have different ones. I don't think a blind person would have much success in a Pokémon game to begin with.

I'm seriously hoping for a Pokemon Stadium-like game for it. ;__; Well, I mean, I liked PBR, but, Pokemon Stadium still had an original ~flair~ to it imo.

[Vapie]

I just had a funny thought, what if instead of the classic cries they said their name like in the anime?
Not like they'd do that, just humorous idea. That did confuse me as a kid though.

This is more of less my view on their cries. Otherwise, I don't see why they'd take something that has been a staple in the series from the start away without good reason unless it was to change them into something more recognizable than what we're given now.

Oh vapes, you didn't just go there. I'm only half joking.
I take offense to that. I'm not joking about that. I am hurt, but more than anything, I think you are misinformed.
Pokémon is actually a popular game for the visually empared to play, because of it's reasonable accessibility.
I've beaten Pokémon Silver, Crystal, Sapphire, Firered, Emerald, Diamond, Platenum, Soul Silver, White, and White2. I only have 3 videos on my YouTube channel of me playing Pokémon, and that is volt white.
However, this guy http://www.youtube.com/user/genuinescorruption is a friend of mine and he has posted some gameplay of him playing through some Pokémon games.
I realize that you have never heard of such a thing before, but if you have any questions, we can talk on skype or via pm or vm, the speculation isn't the place to talk about this.

[Sydian]

Let's hope my internet doesn't derp like last time when I tried to post this.

Anyway, I'm fine with the old GB sounding cries. We've had 151 of them since gen I and they've made it nearly 6 gens with it, why change now? Seems a bit pointless.

[pokemonmasteraaron]

But as mentioned before, Pokémon like Charizard Rhyhorn ditto and Polywag all have the sasme cries. Maybe 2 of thoe should have their cries changed atleast?

[Cirno]

I'd really like if the cries were kept. It's a staple to the franchise as we've had cries since day one, though I also wouldn't mind if cries were altered a bit, like the Ponyta example from Stadium!

[pokemonmasteraaron]

Eh, I kind of like the 8bit cries

[shubham2207]

Lol, we got to 3d n ow, when they are going to introduced dolby sound system in d games too?:-P

This, though I'm starting to doubt a PBR-like spin-off would ever occur. x_x;

[pokemonmasteraaron]

I wonder when we'll get to see some real gameplay? Around May you think?

[shubham2207]

Maybe 3 months later... I m nt sure about it though..

[Twilight Sky]

February or March, maybe? We're slowly but surely getting news, so it shouldn't be that long until we start getting some good vids.
