X/Y General Chat and Speculation

[bwburke94]

Wow, five pages already!

The graphics shown in the trailer are definitely not final. They look to be about the quality of BW2, which is odd because I thought GF would feature the areas they had finished.

[BanditThePikachu]

I like it so far! It looks good from the looks of the trailer!

I agree, its taking me a while to come to grips with the 3D switch. I so loved the combination they did with Gen IV and Gen V.

I also, think its foolish to already try to name the third game(trying to call the third game of Gen V Pokemon Grey was just stupid to begin with IMHO.)

[vaporeon7]

The 3D will need some getting used to. I wonder if we will be able to move in more direction than just forward, back, left, right.

[Keyaki]

I just realized something.

The names for the starters are in English.

Since the they said worldwide in October, now I'm wondering how is Gamefreak actually working on this game in order to be able to send it out worldwide in the same month!?

They seem to be working in tandem with the localisation teams at TPCi.

>D Muahaha.. yes.. October.. just in time for my birthday!

[PokeGeisha]

Ommmmmmmmmggggg! The new starters are so cute!!! And i thought Victini was the cutest pokemon ever! Im so getting the fire type starter! And the grapics are soo cool! Its gonna be weird not seeing it the same way the games for DS always use to be but i really have some hope for this Gen~ Hopefully they did a better job with some of the pokemon that they did in black...some just wasn't too creative.

[Sydian]

>D Muahaha.. yes.. October.. just in time for my birthday!

My birthday is in August, so I'm just gonna ask for preorders (if they're available then) or GameStop cards. :3 And I can drink on that birthday! Playing Pokemon X and Y...DRUNK.

Playing Pokemon X and Y...DRUNK.

Remember, you throw Pokeballs. Not your 3DS.

What happened is the DS died and the 3DS took its place.

Ha ha, I felt the same after I saw the stream at 6am! But I did go to class and I started spazzing...ahh, everyone started talking about X and Y and we all put pics of Froakie on our computer monitors...it was glorious ;u; <3

Eh.

Just imagine--what's that over there? Could...could it be? A...SHINY?! I have to run to catch it before it leaves and...oh no! Another Pokemon in the area caught up behind me! Got to run, go to run..........welp the shiny is gone now.

So yeah, I know that random encounters are outdated and such, but I appreciate them in Pokemon.

Now we just need a Z third version and the 3D references will be complete.

So the Z Pokemon would represent....depth?? Any ideas on how that would work? Because I just can't really conceptualize it (definitely not saying your theory is wrong or anything; I like the idea of the xyz plane but I just have a really difficult time conceptualizing how a "z-plane" Pokemon would work).

[Kura]

Oh man! I can see you playing drunk, shouting at every new pokemon you encounter "WHAT'S THAT? I HAVE TO CATCH IT" Haha!

And.. OH MY GOD Rivvon I love your signature, it is SPOT ON! The Froakie needs oval-er eyes and more balls but the cabbage-shrew (forget the name) and the fox are spot on!

The only thing I can think of is a relation to space and another dimension like Deoxys.

What a great day to not have work.

[Kura]

Well.. Z is forward in 3D.. everything walks forward on the Z axis. X is side to side movement and Y is up and down. So maybe Z could represent going forward through time?

I doubt it though. I liked what another member brought up in the legendary thread about norse mythology and the Z snake. Sorry member, I don't remember your name!

[Zet]

Going forward through time? Maybe removing the restrictions of ethics/morals/boundaries on science to see the full potential of everything.

[Impo]

Just saw the trailer - look's pretty cool!

Took me a couple of minutes to realize the legendaries are in the shape of letters.

But if the #666 Pokemon is not evil or dark/fire then tsktsk Gamefreak you have failed me

The #666 Pokémon will probably be something from early in the game, but i do hope for an evil Pokémon.

Diagonal movement would be awesome. :D

[LilJz1234]

They're releasing the game on October. Enough time for to get myself a Nintendo 3DS for my birthday in August, and just in time to get myself Pokemon Y

Ha ha, thank you! XD When I saw it, I knew I had found the greatest fanart to exist! xD

That is...really deep, really intense, and really, really cool! Game Freak could do a lot with that and open up a ton of storyline possibilities.

The #666 Pokemon is going to be the final evolution of the #665 Pokemon, Kotonkandee, the cutest creature on the face of the planet.




All this talk of diagonal movement made me realize...oh my gosh joystick movement?! But then again the trailer looked like it still moved on a grid of some sort so that's probably not the case sadly...

[vaporeon7]

It'll be weird if it's in 3D and still has grid movement, I'd like to see the circle pad used a lot.

[Logiedan]

I feel the grid movement is just in the Pokemon style, and I think they did a pretty dang good job in using the 3D aspect and making it seem (from what I can see from the trailer) as if there wasn't a grid-style movement, and the camera angles are even better than in B/W.

[CarcharOdin]

Damn, this quickly?

I'm actually excited. Now if we can also get SomethingorotherRuby and SomethingorotherSapphire alongside this, I will die a happy man.

[Starfire Dragon]

AWESOME!!!! POKEMON X & Y (yes i just found out)

I can't watch the video cause all i have is a 3Ds to get on line with. Still, those pics look cool as heck & the fact that it comes out in October is perfect timing for my birthday Though i will most likely preorder it, so it will be a birthday present to myself Yaay!
