"Skrelp is a Poison- and Water-type Pokémon. Clauncher is a Water-type Pokémon."

What kinda name is Skrelp?! BWAHAHAHAHAHA!

 

[ricki13th]

Maybe the language can be changed in the game options

Ikr, how do you even pronounce that? Shkeralp? or something like that?

"Apparently you may be able to trade directly from your PC, without the Pokémon in your party."

Also, other Pokemon are ridable as Rhyhorn was seen being riden.

I would assume it rhymes with "kelp."

"Apparently you may be able to trade directly from your PC, without the Pokémon in your party."

I don't understand this? Wasn't that feature (trading from PC) in gen 5?
But other rideable Pokémon is great!


"Another new Pokémon, Noivern, is being used to demo the awesome 3D modeling process used for Pokémon X and Pokémon Y."
Oh my GOSH I would LOVE to see their modeling process!! So jelly! *-*

That thing about Rhyhorn, that goes against the rumor about Gogoat being the only rideable Pokémon, hmm...

Here are the tweets that went up. I'll keep editing this if anything else appears this evening (videos, etc.). Later, I hope to have a link to a recording of the event since it's not being streamed. Some tweets are combined about the same topic back-to-back, and I'll add my own thoughts periodically.

I'm also not including the #PokemonXY tag on each quote.

Tweets:

Pokémon X and Pokémon Y will refine the core aspects of Pokémon games: collecting, battling, and trading.

Mr. Junichi Masuda, Director at GAME FREAK inc., is on stage now!

Mr. Masuda is discussing the challenges of a global video game release.

There are over 800,000 Japanese characters in the game, which translates to 1.4 million words in English!

Players will be able to choose 1 of 7 languages to play the game (English, French, Italian, German, Spanish, Japanese, or Korean)

The new PSS (Player Search System) will allow players to search for others locally or globally (via Wi-Fi) to battle and trade.

Skrelp is a Poison- and Water-type Pokémon. Clauncher is a Water-type Pokémon.

Mr. Masuda is demoing a battle via the PSS. The two opposing Pokémon are new for Pokémon X and Pokémon Y!

Another new Pokémon, Noivern, is being used to demo the awesome 3D modeling process used for Pokémon X and Pokémon Y.

Mr. Masuda is discussing the various ways players can interact with Pokémon in Pokemon-Amie. Mr. Masuda just hinted that interacting with Pokémon in Pokémon-Amie will have an additional benefit in battle!

A new battle scenario has just been announced! Get ready for Horde Encounters! 5-against-1 battles? That's gonna be tough! Mr. Masuda is showing a video of a Gogoat encountering a horde of Houndour. Horde Encounters look intense!

Another new type of battle has been announced! Prepare for Sky Battles! Only some Flying-type Pokémon (and a few others) can enter a Sky Battle. Mr. Masuda is demoing now!

Talonflame, a new Fire- and Flying-type Pokémon, has just been revealed in a Sky Battle demo against Noctowl!

LIKE! WANT!

Talonflame has just been switched out for Haunter! But wait...Haunter isn't a Flying-type Pokémon...

(I'm guessing it's getting Levitate. So Levitate Pokémon might be allowed? Or is Haunter going to gain Flying type? Would kinda nerf it...

That's it for the Nintendo Developer Roundtable! We'll be posting a recap video of the event tomorrow!

It's only 10 p.m. ET, so they chopped a half hour. Perhaps they didn't want to give away some of the other stuff yet; maybe Talonflame was an accidental show? Discuss!

Its in a trailer being shown at the Round Table. Two sources apparently caught it.

"Pokemon sounds are more advanced. Some resemble growls but pikachu says pikachu"

Ooh now I wonder if other Pokémon will actually say their name, hopefully it's not JUST limited to Pikachu.

Edit: 5 Against 1 battles have been hinted at.

 

[OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire]

Oh damn, five versus one battles!

 

[Pancho0493]

So I guess there's gonna be horde encounters that's gonna be tough. 5 vs 1

 

[Xander Olivieri]

Horde encounters....WTF Gamefreak. Stop x_x

 

[blue]

Triple and Rotational battles was tedious enough, but Five!? Jeez.

 

[ricki13th]

5-against-1 battles confirmed

Mr. Masuda is showing a video of a Gogoat encountering a horde of Houndour. Horde Encounters look intense!
