6th Gen Demo Event & Pokemon Game Show Discussion and Information Thread

The games are so amazing. OMG! I can't wait until October!!!!! 52 days left!!!

I really hope Fennekin to evolve into Fire/Psychic or even Fire/Fairy would be cool. And I think Chespin will evolve into Grass/Rock and Froakie into Water/Fighting. I am so excited lol

Also, I don't think they should put the demo to the eshop cause it will ruin the hype, I guess. :\ Or if they do, I won't download it. it will be so hard not to tho... ugh! :( haha

Also, I noticed that they changed Pikachu's cry to the anime cry. Why they didn't do that for all the Pokemon?

I think it is mainly because Pikachu is Pikachu and is mainly the Pokemon franchise mascot.

As for the demos, I don't really see a big point to it, though I understand most of what everyone means. Even if the do put the demos out. I don't see it showing much. I probably will not download it. I prefer to jump right into games and learn as I go.

Learned from last video that Fairy is neutral for Electric and Water do neutral damage to Fairy type.

Just a little update btw;

Nintendo have also announced that the Pokémon X & Y demos, most likely the same as seen at the Pokémon Games Show and at Gamescom this past week, will be available for play by visitors to the gaming event PAX Prime at the Washington State Convention Center in Seattle from August 30th to September 2nd.

Lucky for those in that area but somehow I can't see this making its way to Europe.. Ah well, not long to wait now.

Here is another video from the Game Show. Some move animations are pretty good, and the weather effects DO stay for the whole battle.

wow. Draco Meteor looked amazing. The graphics are so amazing. Sylveon is so strong after all. Is it October already? ugh 51 days left.

Politoed and Ferrothorn are looking awesome! It really is great to see past generation Pokémon in-battle in full 3D too!

 

[OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire]

I really love the fainting animation, it looks like it's actually returning to it's Pokeball compared to just going to the ground like in past generations...
Damn Sylveon may not have the most useful ability but it seems to be very bulky...it only received 1/4 damage by what seems to be a Life orb holding Politoad's Hydro pump in the rain!

The new fainting animation is really good, very reminiscent of what I saw when I once watched old videos of Pokemon Battle Revolution on YouTube. That's one of the best things about the new full-3D, but wow if Sylveon was able to take a rain-boosted Hydro Pump you gotta easily say it's best stat might actually be Special Defense, which an Eeveelution has not had for its best stat yet. But at least we know Fairy takes neutral damage from Electric and Water.

Actually Umbreon's best stat is Special defense at 130.

Didn't a rumor say Fairy was weak against water? If so there goes that rumor.

We're getting the full type chart which will be updated to accommodate the Fairy type in next months Coro Coro.

I guess that means Sylveon shares a trait with Umbreon, like how Glaceon and Espeon do.

I don't recall a rumor about Water being strong against Fairy, but if such a rumor existed then it's all debunked.

Slyveon makes Politoed's hydro pump with rain-dance look like bubble!

 

[Oshamaru]

Yah, that was crazy. Sylveon seems like a good Eeveelution after all...
Someone said that maybe its Dream World ability was Multiscale, I don't remember exactly, but I think it took very little damage from the first Hydro Pump at full health.

Yeah, and I believe that the first one was a critical too...insane special defense...

I'm not sure if this has been mentioned, but I was just watching this video of the english demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5g4c7n6WUO8

and if you pause at 3:48, it says "Chespin is in a bit of a pinch. It looks like it might cry..."

I'm not quite sure what to think of that. Except that if that message appears a lot and/or in wifi battles, I'm going to feel like a monster.

I think the "pinch" is a term to relate to you being low on health, I'm watching the video right now so I might try and spot what you're talking about. And I'm surprised they finally completely changed most, if not all of the flavor text in battle scenes from what we've been familiar with for 5 generations.

And during the battle with Serena, it looks like Fennekin is revealed to learn Lucky Chant as well.

Yeah, I guess I was correct, the text at 3:48 does show that Chespin is low on HP and is close to fainting, but also I noticed the low HP sound is no longer its own music like in 5th Gen.

 

[OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire]

Poor Chespin...maybe the pinch thing can also mean that it's using it's ability? Chimchar in the anime seemed angry whenever it used it's ability, could be something similar, except grass types being more peaceful cry...

Well, it's when you're low on HP that causes Blaze/Overgrow/Torrent/Swarm to trigger, but yeah I'm surprised they now added flavor text if you're low on HP. It was a good move by Game Freak so you can tell it's pretty close to fainting. I don't really see something like Chimchar using Blaze in the anime though.

Oh dear, I'm going to feel awful for those cuter Pokémon when this message appears in battle... I suppose its more realistic though.
