6th Gen Confirmed Information Discussion

[Espeon Master]

From Serebii: "DexNavi which helps you find Pokémon in the wild and register them in your Pokédex. You can sneak up on Pokémon, or you can register Pokémon that you encounter in the overworld into your Pokédex."
I'm interested to see how this changes wild encounters (if at all) and pokedex completion.

The ability to capture all those legendaries is such good news! They were easy enough to collect using the GTS but I'm excited for them to have my trainer/original trainer and be nickname-able and stuff. How great!

 

[OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire]

I hope that in addition to the Eon ticket we'll see other events from RSE...especially Emerald's. That'll mean us catching Mew, and Deoxys in game.

You know, I wonder if that scene from the big Japanese trailer which shows Brendan sneaking up on a Pikachu whose tail is sticking out of the grass might be the DexNavi? Seems likely to be the case.

What else would it be? Its obvious with the way they showcase it in an artwork with a zigzagoon tail popping out of the grass. So irked that the sources aren't the same, and that we can't have much better pictures of the Multinav page. Pokenav was an absolute must for me, very glad that they didn't leave it out. Much like what I expected, everything is neatly in one place, no menu swapping. Cool to see NPC Pokemon scanning, makes Dex entries that much easier. Also, does anyone else think this isn't it? Looks to be a separate booklet for ORAS, if the page numbers are anything to go by.

Anyway, the megas look amazing. Attack Drone Beedrill and Super Saiyan Pidgeot are god-tier designs, and they're focusing on what needs to be done for viability. The flying mechanic should be interesting, hopefully its a testing ground for the future. Going back to regular fly after it may suck, or it might be a flashy useless feature. Time will tell.

AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I already knew about mega Latios and Latias because I have them (Action Reply Power Save). I thought GameFreak couldn't make Pokemon more free roam and they HAVE!!! Now there is only two more things I want in OR and AS,character customization and Super Training. Even if they didn't have that I would still buy them. THIS IS THE GREATEST GAME IN HISTORY!!!!!!!!!!!!!(Slightly better than The Legend Of Zelda Ocarina of Time 3D)

I CAN'T WAIT!!!!!!!!!!

Anyone else figure out where the player is on the right screenshot of the scan?

Spoiler:

It doesn't look like an area/building that was in the originals, although I could be forgetting about specific places.

 

[Cerberus87]

I'm pretty sure the only reason for this sky mechanic is that there's no map space for the other legendaries and this way they cut on map building.

 

[OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire]

I think it may be to make the sky play a role as Hoenn is about the union of land, sea, and sky.

Btw have they mentioned anything about the Trainer Match returning?

 

[Pinkie-Dawn]

So Lugia and Ho-oh are also part of the Eon Flute event. But what about the beast trio, lake trio, musketeer trio, and kami trio? Will they also be available, or will they be saved for the Z version?

That looks like a pokemon center in the compound.

Highly doubt it is the Pokemon League building, or anywhere in Ever Grande.
Could it be the redesigned Mauville?

Serebii said that through the flying on the Latis method all the non-event Legendaries are apparently available for capture. So all the stuff you mentioned will probably show up.

Well all they mentioned is that all will be available this generation, they may add the Eon Mega Lati feature to Z. Btw I have not seen any confirmation that the Johto bird Duo will be in these games...

 

[Nah]

They've been confirmed:

Spoiler:

Besides, I think that "all Legendary Pokemon" would include those 2 as well.

And I wanna hear the Gen 6 remixes of the themes for the legendaries, I imagine they'll sound great.

Awesome, so I was right about those 6 at least. Since the Kanto and Kalos Mascots were in XY then the rest of the other Mascots are hopefully here. Now...I wonder why their third version counterparts are missing though, especially Giratina, and Kyurem. Maybe those will be saved for Z.

 

[curiousnathan]

UM why would the Johto, Unova and Sinnoh legendaries be in Hoenn? Unless there's some sort of back story as to why, I really despise the concept. If they've literally just been plonked into Hoenn for the sake of being able to capture them.. @_@

Eh, its Game Freak. They do plenty of things with no rhyme or reason as to why. And they've done this before too. The Lake Trio and Cresselia were all in Black2/White2, with absolutely no reason as to why.

 

[Tamara❤]

WOW the whole eon flute thing is beyond awesome ^0^ I wonder how many legendaries we can catch??

Cresselia had a reason. The Strange House mini-story.

I maintain they did this sky thing because they couldn't cram the legendaries into Hoenn's map and went the lazy route of making them available "in the sky".

I'm actually worried there won't be a Z version, with all those legendaries in ORAS.

Well Ho-oh and Lugia are known to fly around, especially Ho-oh. Zekrom and Reshiram are said to fly around in the clouds. So those two pairs make some sense. Palkia can bend space so it can be anywhere it wants to be, and Dialga usually isn't far behind xD.

Now, maybe they'll save Suicune (and the rest of the Beast Trio), Giratina, and Kyurem for Z to give it something. Or maybe Z will have all of the event mons :3

It's possible I never get around to catching these Pokémon, since I hate catching roamers and you need Lati@s to reach them. :P
