6th Gen X/Y General Chat and Speculation

[OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire]

If any generations ever felt cut off from past one's they're proably 3 and/or 5, 3 as we couldn't capture some of our favorite gen 1-2 mons (and it had a lack of transfer from gen 2) and 5 because of the lack of evolutions, pre evolutions, and overall lack of previous Pokémon (in the original pairs of both generations that is). Really making the game have multidirectional movement won't make it feel apart from the rest imo.

that would make it... 4 pm Central?

That would make it 9pm Eastern, 8pm Central, 7pm Mountain, and also 2am in England.

What about Australia (Melbourne) time?

 

[CmdrEggnog]

whether or not the storyline is roughly the same if there isn't grid based movement it won't feel like a main series game for me

We should proably get used to change if we hope for GF to really change the series. Personally I'm of the opinion that they change the games a little (but not just graphically of course) at a time.

 

[Powerserge]

Bring on the change! In this day and age, if franchises and businesses don't change at least a little bit, then they get thrown to the wayside. I think that these graphical changes were to be expected, and I fully embrace them! I remember being a kid and talking to my friends about Nintendo making a 3D Pokemon game for a future handheld console...and now the future is here! Now if they could balance out some of these game mechanics.....

 

[Eruption]

I sure hope so. Mystery Dungeon got a demo, so having a demo to the completion of the first Gym would be nice. Then purchasers can pick up their game from there once it comes out officially. Kind of like a head start.

I would prefer if it showed a bit less off and it was more similar to the Spaceworld demo of Gold. We download the demo with a pokemon already given to us (Lv 7 Pikachu or something?) and get a limited time to explore the first town and route.

Regardless I think we'd be lucky to receive any sort of demo, it's not a traditional strategy for Pokemon and demos usually tend to hinder most games.

All this talk about change, I say bring it on. The graphics have changed immensely even from what we had in B/W/B2/W2, and I'm loving every bit of it. In order to grow, GameFreak has to improve, change, and adapt to the fit modern gaming technology. At its core, it's still going to be the same as every other game in the main series. You begin with a starting Pokémon, catch new ones, collect eight badges, stop the evil villains, and become the new champion. So I'm fine with more improvements to the overall game-play experience.

What about Australia (Melbourne) time?

11am in Melbourne.

I was just thinking last night that they ought to remove the Pokemon cry and replace it with how they actually speak in the anime. And as for the legendaries, the ones that had the ability to talk can actual interact with the character. I just thought it would be a cool idea.

Eh. I'd be rather hesitant to support this idea.

I do agree with changing the cries, however. They've always sounded a little mechanical to me. Instead of replacing them with the anime cries, which I suppose technically shouldn't be counted as canon, I would suggest updated, more realistic versions of their original cries.

 

[RandomDSdevel]

Indeed. I'd say at this point that the more twists to the usual formula, the better.

I agree with you, Pokéstick, and that is why I think that GameFreak might eventually introduce dual-type moves or something like that. After all, the folks at GameFreak have probably had plenty of time to work out the mechanic's formula if they were originally going to implement it alongside Scald but couldn't figure out how exactly they could do it at that time. However, you guys are most likely right when you say that we shouldn't worry our heads over how this will be done, so I'd like to formally end this discussion by saying that I'm happy to sit back and wait to see what happens on this one.

 

[Jake♫]

I say I'm open to change, but changing for the sake of changing is a little silly. Especially with things like dual-typed moves, there really is no point of having them in my opinion. If the change is to better the game then go for it. If it's just because "we're sick of the formula, let's change this for no reason!" then I'm not on board for it.

 

[Pokestick good times.]

From the looks of it they're keeping the little in-box and party Pokémon icons. I'd honestly have thought they would've updated them by now. :P

 

[blue]

Aren't we supposed to be getting some updated X and Y news from Smash tomorrow?

 

[OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire]

Oh yeah, forgot about that,I'm thinking that they'll probably have a little more elaboration on the customization, maybe a few outfits?

 

[blue]

Well I don't expect anything too ground breaking, that's usually down to CoroCoro or a Direct Livestream. It could just be a little further details on the New Pokemon.

If anything major were to be revealed, the only thing I could really see happening would be them revealing Sylveon's type. If the skit they were performing is true, they obviously know its typing. Maybe they'd do a follow-up for it and finally show us its typing?

 

[OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire]

GF will proably want that info release during the next month or two to keep the hype (it's mostly gone though) up for the release of the movie and short...
Maybe Smash can tell us the name of Mewtwo's new forme? I don't beleive we know what's it's called. Nor do we know it's type officially...

 

[blue]

Well there's more news to follow in next months CoroCoro so maybe that's a good time to finally reveal Sylveons typing? Although, it does seem like Smash are focusing their episodes around Sylveon lately so idk.

 

[OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire]

Perhaps Smash will reveal it first followed by Corocoro? Sort of like with the Mewtwo forme (minus the leak).
