Expecting some kind of story linking to the anime trying to justify the player getting Ash-Greninja in the first place.

janejane6178 October 16th, 2016 7:19 AM

I really hope its something fun that doesnt last 5mins..
I think that the ORAS one was pretty fair

kingdenas October 16th, 2016 7:23 AM

I doubt it will only last 5 minutes, mainly because the ORAS demo is nothing compared to this demo , and ORAS demo wasn't that bad.

It took some reviewers a good two hours to even reach the first Trial Captain, and that's just on the first island. If that's any indication then MeleMele island seems to be packed with stuff to do and places to explore.

kingdenas October 16th, 2016 7:38 AM

I don't know why people keep comparing this demo with the game some reviewers played. They didn't play the demo, I think they played the actual game, for only 2 hours. Am I wrong?

Because the demo could just as well be the first two hours of the game taking place on the first island. There's been no confirmation as to what the demo includes, but I can't see what else it would involve unless it is just some sort of extra side quest that involves capturing Ash-Greninja (like the ORAS demo). The Gates to Infinity demo, for example, was basically the first hour of gameplay. Idk, I could be wrong but that's how I think it will play out.

I don't think we start at Route 1 at the demo...? We get Ash-Greninja which should be at lvl 36 the very least (Ash evolved his Greninja from a lil Froakie) The demo might follow the ORAS demo trend and we'll start at Akala Island instead of MeleMele Island.

We could meet Olivia from the recent new trailer, battle some Team Skull grunts (there better be some to fight with!), some trainers and that's about it? If anything that they could put in a demo is a clothes store to emphasize the character customization, and also the Rotom Snap (gotta take photos rather than completing island trials)

It's very unlikely since we get Ash-Greninja as our Pokemon in the demo. The ORAS demo wasn't the first two hours.

janejane6178 October 16th, 2016 11:35 AM

Does any1 know exactly when the demo comes out? As in what hour?
Thanks <3

blue October 17th, 2016 2:45 AM

Just a heads up guys, Nintendo UK tweeted that the demo will release late morning on 18/10 which is presumably between 10am - 11am BST.

JoyStar October 17th, 2016 4:14 AM

I don't have any major expectations for the demo, I'm just excited to get it. :)

Sabrewulf238 October 17th, 2016 5:45 AM

Is Japan getting the demo at midnight? (in their timezone)

Rain October 17th, 2016 5:58 AM

The demo is already up on the Japanese eshop (can't download it yet), so I'm hoping it will be available at midnight in Japan.
One more hour to go.

Edit: It's past midnight in Japan and it's still not available for download. It looks like we're all getting it at the same time.

It is a weird name. Maybe it was shoehorned in from the anime?

Maybe they just stuck with the nme in the anime. It does seem weird. Thngs like Mega-Evolution are typs of evolution, so they should be named like that. In addition, it should apply to more than just Greninja - Golem couldnt have a real 'Ash-Greninja form,' could they? Hopefully this isnt a lasting name. It could change later in the game.

Taemin October 17th, 2016 7:27 AM

I figured since Ash-Greninja is the term most people were familiar with, they just left it that way because it's just a demo Pokemon, from what we know. @[email protected] I was hoping they'd change the name, but eeeeh.

Also, I'm checkin the eShop off and on, but it'll probably hit later today.

UK is only roughly 5-6 hours ahead of most of the US and Canada, so then we're going to get it tomorrow?

Yeah, if it is a simultaneous release then US/Canada should get it around 5-6am going by the European release.

Iceshadow3317 October 17th, 2016 8:28 AM

People are thinking that the Demo may be the first two hours because it is 3100 blocks, which is doubled of both ORAS and XY demos together from what I have read.

I do not think it is the same as the 2 hours that people plays in San Fran. That was the actual first 2 hours of the game.

The Demo takes place on rocky terrain from what I saw in the Demo Trailer. That alone makes me think it is something else entirely, possibly taking place on 4th Island.

I am expecting maybe 1 or 2 new pokemon and maybe the name of the island it takes place on. Not expecting much more than that, but I have a feeling we will be able to explore more.


It is only called Ash-Greninja in words. In the game, it is just called Greninja like Megas. In the trailer, you can see that it only says Greninja in battle after it changes, at least I am pretty sure.

They are calling it Ash-Greninja because that is what it is called in the anime, tcg, shuffle, and other pokemon games/media. They are keeping the name because that is what it is called.

If it's an actual demo where there is Pokemon, battle trainers etc I will download the demo.

If it just a bunch of Ash-Greninja related stuff I am not going to download the demo and will just wait for the game to come out.

I haven't but if we can use other Pokemon I may download the demo.

I have zero desire to use Ash-Greninja (Outside of the likely forced sync evolution tutorial) so being able to use other Pokemon in the demois a big plus for me.

Pikachu is fine. I imagine the little electric mouse will be in our party to demonstrate Z-Moves.

You're right then:)

Lunar October 17th, 2016 9:28 AM

If the demo is the same one that people from the media got to play the other day (which it is, isn't it?) then we can expect roughly about 2 hours of gameplay which is really long for a demo imo. That being said, we haven't had a new Pokemon game in almost two years now so it'll be nice to get some fresh content. As for the demo itself, I think we'll get a mini story to follow and get to try out some of the new Pokemon whilst also receiving Ash-greninja. This is sort of a theory but I think there's a possibility the demo will be set on a special island that's the separate from the main region of Alola, as to avoid too many spoilers.
