6th Gen Confirmed Information Discussion

[Altius]

This is just too kawaii I just can't...

Spoiler:

Whoa, love it!

Spoiler:

Looks like it's become an entirely indoor/possibly underground city? Almost looks like an underground mall. Interesting. I wonder what it looks like as you approach the city.

I love the new look as well.

Spoiler:

Yeah, there was a leaked screenshot I've seen which shows Mauville being an underground city. You'll enter like in the originals but you can see "basements" from the top.

Is there an esp Share in the game like there was in X and Y?

 

[destinedjagold]

Is there an esp Share in the game like there was in X and Y?

If you read a few posts above yours, you would have found your answer...

Spoiler:

The Instagram leaker also revealed the Exp. Share is obtained early (around Rustboro City, the Devon Corp building most likely) which was pretty much where it was obtained in the original games as well.

Leaks/spoiler ahead about Mauville city, avoid if you don't want to see it:

Spoiler:

Looks like Mauville City is huge now... Really huge.

Wally is presumably in front of the gym, as in the originals:

O Power man is back:

Café in Mauville:

I'm kinda surprised the Cafe recycles the same interior as the Cafes in X/Y. But wow Mauville looks so advanced now! Makes me want these games much sooner!

Also, if you watched the video I posted earlier where Slakoth is being viewed in the Pokedex, the info section (where the height, weight, type etc. are) is now on the bottom screen while the Pokedex entry is now on the top screen, alongside with the model which you can rotate like in X/Y.

And apparently someone has a set of screenies of some notable landmarks in Slateport: Click here to see them

Okay I'm going to actually try to avoid seeing the newly revamped Mauville, I've seen a couple of exterior images only. Since the newly designed Mauville seems to be like a new addition including new faculties, it's something I don't want to spoil until actually discovering it in game, I can imagine it feels the same but looks like a new city!

 

[Pendraflare]

So they made Mauville City look like an outlet mall? o_O Not that that's bad, though.

And those pics from Slateport with the boats have nice views, so I do welcome it.

Screams like a school girl! Just 2 more days guys!!!! :)

A review about ORAS here. There is one sentence I think lots will appreciate as I know there are concerns about post game content

I haven't seen the place at all, and I plan to keep it a secret to discover too.

Well 2 and some hours (until midnight) sadly, unless one lives in Australia or East Asia that is as it's already the 19th there (or Europe who are going to get the games on the 28th).


Continuing my countdown: 3 Days left, one day for every member of the Weather Trio!

I believe it just turned midnight in Japan. We still have about 1 hour to go to 19/11.

Man... Super psyched. The leaks make me want to play the game even more.
That said, I wonder if Mauville gets its own theme this time because it has been completely redesigned.

Hearing you talk about the leaks makes me want to see them. I guess I'll drop by here for 10-15 minutes until Friday and just post speculation to avoid the spoilers (graphically and story wise).


Btw I read someone bring up in the Battle Frontier Thread that the battle Maison and another Daycare were discovered by leakers, and that the Frontier is being built. Anyone thinks GF will have Day one DLC? Or maybe it'll be open in game after one completes Episode Delta (which will fit in with Emerald's story).

IGN scored 7.8 with a flaw being "too much water" okay I'm not trying to go against them because I don't like their score, but what do they expect in Hoenn? An example of a misjudgement as on Metacritic the games have accumulated a score of 4.5/5 so far (or 86/100).

 

[realdonnyv]

Can the new Pokenav detect pokemon natures?

No, you still have to check the stat screen for natures as far as I know.

"Too many HMs" made me laugh. It's already less than the originals.

Oh well, not that I trust IGN for reviews in the first place.

Actually, I'm pretty sure I remember reading somewhere that it can detect a Pokémon's nature, ability and moves before an encounter.

Reading that is a bit of a relief for me. If what that article says about the games holds true for me, I think that maybe....these could be one of the best Pokemon games I will play, despite Gen 3 being one of my least favorite generations. I don't think that it'll be THE best, but....it's certainly sounding to be quite an improvement over the originals.

Eh, I stopped giving a **** about game reviews years ago.

But you have to admit that the obnoxiously large amount of water in (eastern) Hoenn isn't exactly fun.

 

[Altius]

Not surprising at all:

Spoiler:

Mauville Game Corner is history.

Well that's a sweet anti-frustration method, especially for those who like being specific with their Pokemon.

And I came across even more screenshot leaks on Tumblr:

Spoiler:

This one showcases Mt. Chimney, the Jagged Pass, and Lavaridge Town

This set showcases the Trick House, more of Mauville City as well as Route 113, Fallarbor Town, Meteor Falls and the cable car

Moving truck return confirmed! Also shows Petalburg Woods, Rustboro City, Rusturf Tunnel and Dewford Town.

If you want to avoid spoilers, then obviously don't click these. Be warned, beautiful pics ahead.
