Special Demo Version
With Sun/Moon and ORAS both getting demo versions prior to their release, there is a definite precedent for US/UM to receive one as well. In the past, demos have been short scenarios with data that can be transferred over into the main titles, with exclusive Pokemon such as Ash-Greninja, making them a worthwhile download for those interested in purchasing the full titles.
So, let's chat. Would you like to see a demo for US/UM? What sort of things do you imagine it would have you doing, and what sort of transferrable Pokemon/items would you like it to have? Is a US/UM demo something you would even be interested in trying, and if you're not sure about whether or not you want to buy the games, would a good demo change your mind? |
I am pretty sure that a demo will be expected for US/UM, since we got ones for S/M and both 6th Gen games. I never tried the other demos so I'm not sure if it will be the same for me here, since I usually prefer waiting for the full content anyway.

Well they aren't similar situations really. Both times the demo has been done, it had a purpose. In ORAS, it was special soley due to the fact that it was the first of its kind for the series(if you exclude in-store demos they had back in the day). And for Sun and Moon, it was to give people a taste of the new engine, region, mechanics, etc.
There won't really be anything to show off here. It would be akin to making a demo for BW2, everyone would already know what to expect. |

I'd like a Demo but I wouldn't be disappointed if we didn't get one. I just hope that we don't get a datamine leak on the level of the disaster that was the Sun & Moon demo. Hopefully they've learnt from their mistakes though.

Yeah I expect we'll get a demo, it'll probably be a similar length to the one we got in Sun and Moon. As for what we end up doing, we'll probably get given a starter or an Alolan Pokemon and will get to explore a new area hopefully.
|
No more demos please. They get datamined every time. Not to mention demos are pointless.
|
I have a hunch that USUM's demo (if it does have a demo) will revolve around Marshadow and it's Z-Move.
It'll introduce Marshadow properly to the players and it's Z-Move. Kinda how like Ash-Greninja went down for the SM's demo. |

Datamining will be the sticking point as to whether or not we get a demo, I think...they can't be stupid enough to make the same mistake again. I think they just wouldn't make a demo if they couldn't scrub the data...or perhaps they'd make it available a week or less before release to minimise the damage the leaks could do.
I still think that a demo is more likely than not, though. It can be nothing but a beneficial thing to release one from a business standpoint...which is the only perspective they're going to care about. Taster = increased excitement levels and increased awareness/exposure to the game = more people buying said game = more money. |
Honestly, I wouldn't mind not getting a demo, seeing how we kind of don't deserve one after datamining it so badly. If we do get one, I dearly hope that Nintendo learned their lesson.
I don't know what they could show off in it though. I think the largest differences between S/M and US/UM are going to just be graphics and plot, in which the former is limited and the latter cannot be revealed at all. |
There will definitely be a demo... We might get the Eternal Flower Floette there...

The demo would be so pointless... I mean we got Trash Greninja with the last one, I just don't foresee there being one. All the demos do is pretty much get datamined and the games get ruined for those who avoided the news.

They can make a special Ash Hat Pikachu (20th movie one maybe) for the US/UM demos. That would be pretty cool!

That said guys, what do you think we'll get as a special Pokemon in a possible US/UM Special Demo Edition that could be transferred to the main US/UM games? OR/AS had the Glalie and S/M had Ash-Greninja. |
I'm betting on region-exclusive hat Pikachu, if we get anything that can be transferred at all...or a random Pokemon with an exclusive Z-Crystal, like Munchlax. I can't see it being a Legendary, given that the data is designed to be carried over into the game from the beginning.

I really hated Sun & Moon's demo and I never played the earlier demos, so we'll see if I even bother with it. It was just a waste of time with silly cutscenes and stupid pikachu sound effects instead of actually letting me play the game. :(
