Should X and Y get an update?
One thing we haven't gotten any word on yet is if a patch will be released for X and Y making it possible to trade over the new mega stones. In past games, when a new game came out in the same generation with a new form, users of the older games would not be able to use (or even see in battle) these new pokemon. But with X and Y, they have the ability to make updates. They've already released 3 in order to fix some bugs.
They refused to make any DLC for X and Y because they wanted it to be a fair and complete game for everyone. Will they hold on to these morals and let people who don't buy the new games have a level playing field with everyone else? What are your thoughts? Would you like an update for X and Y? Discuss away! |
Ninja'd! I think they will because if you battle with someone with, let's say, Mega Pidgeot, X and Y will try to load an unexisting model, thus crashing the game. Plus, it'd make it good to pick up a Pidgey, Weedle, Slowpoke, Audino and other such Pokémon obtainable early on in the games in either a regular run or a Nuzlocke.

Most likely an update will occur via Nintendo Wifi by the time of the release.

Someone needs to make a sticky topic on the specs of a 3DS. the 3DS is not capable of rewriting the data of a physical game cartridge. it WOULD be possible for digital only copies of games, absolutely, it would be just like an app on a smartphone or tablet where the overall program is replaced by the new one (basically) but the 3DS does not have the ability to rewrite data on a physical game card.
The patches and corrections that have been released are to fix programming errors within the 3Ds or how the 3Ds interprets data from the game or online. They can't add whole data into the game in the form of new pokemon, items, and so forth. Now, the fact that Torchic with it's Blazikenite being available from day one should be a very clear indication that the data for all the items and mega evolutions is ALREADY in teh game data. (Since it was given out to everyone with either game, there was no need to go through the data to look for where the Blazikenite was stored and Hello? Mega Latios and Latias? :-) ) Just because the hackers haven't found the location of all the data doesn't mean it's not there. Look how many months it took for them to discover the shiny forms of Xernes, Yveltal and Zygarde. If it was that easy to get all the data, they would have released the shiny forms at the same time they discovered Diancie, Volcanion and Hoopa. You make the claim: Quote:

I'm sure they will update X and Y when we get closer to Ruby and Sapphires release :)
|
Maybe we need to sent the physical copies in like when you wanted the Eon Ticket in RS to receive theupdate. For Digital copies you can probably just update them. Nintendo has always been fair so I think there Will be an update!
|
This is something that i'm sure was addressed before - people have said there will probably be an XY patch that will allow them to see the ORAS Mega Evolutions without problems. But will it allow them for use in those games? I would imagine they'll at least be legit for Wi-Fi battles.
|
I don't see why not, it would be foolish not too. I mean X and Y is still relatively new and Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire uses the same engine as Pokemon X and Y so I don't think we'll have a problem guys ^_^
|
I think they'll likely update the games with a patch that'll allow the use of the OR/AS Mega Evolutions. It'd be kinda stupid if they didn't update X/Y because that would make them severely inferior to OR/AS if that's the case.

I have to agree with everyone else; an update will likely occur. Without it, almost all mega-evolutions introduced in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire probably won't be compatible. Kind of glad about it, too, to be honest; if they'd included their data beforehand like Mega-Latis, hackers would have found them and revealed their info, and by then, none of those mega-forms would have been considered to be special by us (well, at least some). It's a good strategy, I believe!

They'll probably get out a patch by that time! They've clearly been making an effort to have backwards compatibility between XY and ORAS, considering that they're gonna allow XY in tournaments still. (At least that's what I heard!)

We're updating and have to use the newer software to compete. Makes sense to do it this way and leave the older games obsolete. Quote:

I don't believe this would do them (or us, as fans) any good, considering that X and Y are current-gen, but am definitely intrigued to see how they go about all of that.

My view on updating XY, is that if you used the updated content on one 3DS, and then tried to use a 3DS that didn't have the update, there would be problems. I don't think that they want to not update, I think they can't update.
Oh, also, there's no reason that XY shouldn't be able to battle with ORAS. You could use Pokemon in new forms in Platinum and B2W2 when battling with other games from that gen, you just couldn't see the different form. My guess is that new megas will show mega animation but look the same on XY so that they know that it happened. |

Even though I wish they would it's already been confirmed that they will not update so we are out of luck.
