Demo's expectations
 
So the demo gets released in about 3 days, what are your expectations of it?
Will we be able to catch and use new Pokemon or just Ash-Greninja?
Will be be getting a 2 hours gameplay like the one we've seen this week?
I honestly really looking forward to download it, even if its just a minor gameplay, like ORAS's demo had.

Nah October 15th, 2016 11:14 AM

I'm pretty sure they said that people will get Ash-Greninja in the demo, and be able to transfer it to the full games when those release a month later. I think there was something similar in the ORAS demo where you could get something in there and send it to your ORAS file.

I have no idea what it'll be like compared to the early release demos that reviewers get, but maybe someone else knows.

I'm personally not interested in demos, and don't plan to get the Sun/Moon one. Am a bit interested in what the datamining (because people WILL do it lol) reveals though.

My guess is we only get Ash 'Ninja who's "exclusive" but not exclusive like the Megas from the ORAS Demo.

We get locked to an edited route 1. We get to see new pokemon, but that's it. There's some trainers we get to fight, and possibly a mini story. I could see main characters like Hala appearing to.

So close, so I can't wait to find out what it has!

Altairis October 15th, 2016 11:38 AM

I assume that any Pokemon we do obtain will have a level cap to prevent us from grinding and seeing the evolutions before it's time. I also fully expected it to be datamined, given the size of the demo.

I'm gonna download it for Ash Greninja, though.

tokyodrift October 15th, 2016 11:58 AM

I'm still on the fence with downloading it. I really want to be surprised when I boot up the full game. Although I really dislike Ash-Greninja, I do want it for my collection. Here's to hoping that they learned their lesson with the ORAS datamine and make near impossible to get the information.

Frozocrone October 15th, 2016 12:47 PM

I think we'll be able to do one edited or demo-exclusive trial, catch some Pokemon, battle some trainers (use Greninja's Battle Bond) and explore the region a bit.

Arjay October 15th, 2016 12:56 PM

Why is it called Ash-Greninja in the games though? Surely Ash Ketchum doesn't exist in the world of the games? His "counterpart" in the games is Red. So how can this Pokémon exist in the games with this form difference and name? I find it absolutely nonsensical and I hate the entire concept.

Same reason why cats and whales can breed and I can hatch a Pokémon that's already a mother...

Seriously, why are people still so up and arms about Ash-Greninja not making any sense? It makes more sense compared to other things in their universe.

Sabrewulf238 October 15th, 2016 1:20 PM

Ditto what others have said about it being datamined. That seems like a given anyway, regardless of whether there's anything to be datamined. (I'm not that hopeful that Gamefreak won't leave everything in the demo though)

I guess it's possible that we'll see a new Pokemon or Alola form (The latter might be more likely) especially since Gamexplain have confirmed that they encountered new Pokemon that hadn't been revealed yet. (and you'd assume they were first stage Pokemon with it being the first two hours of the game, so them being evolutions of Pokemon we already know is pretty unlikely)

Somehow I don't think we'll be playing the first two hours of the game though, we'll probably be off on some secluded island battling trainers or something like that. Maybe Team Skull will show up too.

janejane6178 October 15th, 2016 3:49 PM

Well, Im definitely going to download it cuz why not ? :)
Is it free?

blue October 15th, 2016 3:54 PM

I think it will be similar to what the reviewers managed to complete. I'd say the first two hours of the storyline which will probably include receiving the starter Pokémon, meeting Kukui and exploring parts of MeleMele island.

So after 2 hours we wont be able to play it again? Or we could just play only from where we've last been?

You'll be able to play it so many times over, but the gameplay will be the same for each time. You won't be able to progress beyond a certain point regardless of how many times you play.

Nope. What those reviewers played was the actual game. This demo will most likely be very different.

Zero expectations because it'll bore me after 3 seconds just like the ORAS one

I know but the ORAS demo was still nice. It would be cool to walk with the new player and battle using the new mechanics/music etc

But yes. Im keeping my hopes low

Yeah it was nice for the first 5 minutes until you finished it.

Entermaid October 15th, 2016 6:05 PM

I'm excited to try evolving a Pikipek. It seems like that could be doable in the context of a demo. That's the only expectation I have for now.

Unfortunately, they didn't let us catch Pokémon in the ORAS demo so I doubt they would here.

Either the demo actually is full of content or (plz no) they left in a bunch of leftover data.

Ooh, I never played the ORAS demo. Good to know.

Hopefully he will make an appearance for us somehow.

kingdenas October 16th, 2016 1:35 AM

It would be kinda neat if GF let us encounter a whole new Pokémon we haven't seen before in the demo. Or maybe an Alola Form... It would be kind of a surprise ^^

janejane6178 October 16th, 2016 7:11 AM

So we're not gonna hear any news regarding the demo just yet?
We're just going to find out when downloading it?

kingdenas October 16th, 2016 7:17 AM

Yes, I think that's it. They may or may not include new info in the demo for us to explore. But I think the purpose of this demo is to show us a bit of the game, and how they've improved,etc. It's only to give us a little glance of the mechanics,etc. Something like the ORAS demo maybe?
