Player Search System & Backwards Compatibility?
Do you guys think that the player search system will be backwards compatible with X and Y or only between players of OR/AS?
|
One problem that occurs to me would be that XY may not recognize Brendan/May's sprites from ORAS on the PSS, but they could just disguise them like the male/female characters from XY. I get that idea because if you were to trade between Hoenn and FRLG in Gen III, the FRLG character would show up as Brendan/May. Regardless, i'd imagine you could trade and battle between both games.

How do we know it isn't already in the code and just not presented to us in XY?
Do we know for fact that the new mega Evo's data isn't already in XY ? It seems mega LATIOS and Latias are in it , so why not the rest? |

Anything like new Megas not being in X/Y can be solved with a quick patch. It's no big deal. I think there will be cross-compatibility with no problem. If anything it'd be welcome because I know people with X/Y will be wanting to duke it out with their Kalos teams against revamped Hoenn trainers. ;o

Nintendo are smart and will surely realise there will need to be an element of backward compatibility. The wonderous thing about the modern age is the ability to patch and update via DLC. |

All the new Megas aren't in X/Y's data, if you're battling an OR/AS trainer and they go to mega evolve their Pokémon, the game will most likely try to load a model that doesn't exist... I think that there will be a patch when the games come out. (This is wishful thinking from me because I'd like everyone to be able to get a chance to get the new Mega Stones without being able to just use a Powersave on X/Y to get the new Megas :p) Also PSS is pretty much the only way to retain X/Y compatbility, and surely they're using X/Ys engine so it should already be there in the code, so why not? |

I really hope so... If X and Y doesn't have certain Mega Evolutions like in OR/AS, Pokemon can always put out an update.
|
I just hope the PSS is going to be in the game. And I hope they add more O-Powers! I'm sure if they bring it back then it's gonna be compatible with X&Y! I mean, we're still in Gen 6. ;)
|
It's probably not too difficult for Game Freak to patch X and Y with a few Mega evolutions from ORAS, so I think it's probable that PSS makes an appearance in Hoenn and is backwards compatible with Kalos. Would be cool if it were an application on the PokeNav, I think. Gives some more relevance to the mechanic aside from Match Calls.
|
Given how HGSS has been backwards compatible with DPPt and FRLG with RS (not counting Emerald since that came after FRLG) when the games couldn't even be patched, I have no doubt ORAS will be backwards compatible with XY. I also don't doubt the PSS will make a return; I can see it reappearing on the bottom screen again, but as a PokeNav application. (Makes the PokeNav more useful, if you ask me.) Lastly, I do agree that there will be a patch for XY so you can battle against and utilize the Megas revealed in ORAS.

Also they will need to add in the Primal Reversion's new signature moves (hinted at) and possibly new abilities into XY as it's not in the code (unless it was so well hidden no one found it). About PSS. Likely they'll add in some of it's features into the Pokénav but O-Powers may not be added nor Aime or any of the other things. Especially since PSS is Kalos' version of the Pokénav. The Pokégear wasn't turned into a Pokétech during HGSS so I doubt the Pokénav will be turned into the PSS. |
So, how will ORAS and X/Y relate to each other?
Especially with the advent of Pokémon Bank. With some of the new mega evolutions being revealed, will ORAS users be able to trade items to their XY versions, such as the new mega stones. And will they then be able to mega evolve the Pokémon whose mega forms have been revealed in ORAS?
Or how about any new content that's being revealed in ORAS? Will Nintendo release a patch to make any new features in those games compatible with X/Y? |
We are not patching X and Y to make it compatible with OR and AS.
Please understand. Spoiler:

Uh, you people do realize that Mega Latias, and Mega Latios, which are going to officially be revealed and released in ORAS are already in X and Y right? If the other megas (ie Swampert, Sableye, Sceptile, etc.) are not deep within the coding somewhere, then Gamefreak will just release a patch for X and Y making them available. We don't live in the 90's anymore. Games like these are not impossible to patch/update. In fact, it's just the opposite.

Also perhaps GF will hold off on updating it on day one of ORAS release for some time down the road in order to get people to buy ORAS instead of trade to get the new stones and Primals. Okay now Primals are very interesting as they didn't exist in XY, but from what we've seen they seem to work similar to Megas so I don't see any issue there. |
Quote:
I really do hope that GF doesn't go and make any X/Y updates/patches into paid DLC. I personally don't think they will though. That would be a d*ck move. I think primals will work exactly the same as megas. I mean, in essence, they are the same thing from what we've seen and been told. Groudon changes types, just like megas can. He get's a base stat increase, just like megas do. Etc, etc. They just won't do megas for legendaries like Dialga, Groudon, Rayquaza and others. They will probably just make primal formes for them. |
