E3 expectations?

[OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire]

If we get anything. Maybe another Pokemon trailer. That is, at most, what I can see us possibly getting. It could give the English names for the dog and koala and possibly introduce 1 or 2 other pokemon. They have done this before, I think, but I am not 100% positive.

I was surprised that we got nothing that was revealed in Corocoro and that it was mainly all new info or a in depth look at what we already knew.

Irc we got Mega Slowbro or Mega Sableye in Day 2 of E3, though it was through a trailer on the official site.

I was wrong. Apparently there is something more to Pokemon on the 16th.

According to the NintendoLife Site, something called 'Pokemon Special' Is supposed to be on June 16th.

E3 2016 Pokémon Special - 16th June at 7am Pacific / 10am Eastern / 3pm UK / 4pm CET
An exciting development, this will be focused entirely on Pokémon, though beyond that details are slim.

So, I could be correct and not just a guess or idea.

There's also another event this month where we could get more news
"It has been confirmed that Pokémon will have a booth at the World Hobby Fair '16 Summer on June 25th & June 26th. At this event, there will be five things.
First, Abarerukun and Rinka from Pokénchi will be there and take the main stage. There will be a quiz rally and an exclusive sneak-peak at the movie, Volcanion & The Ingenious Magearna. Finally, Pokémon Sun & Moon will be there and game producer & series director, Junichi Masuda will be on stage with a playthrough of part of the game. We'll bring more on that as it comes."

Yep. I posted that in the Future News Dates thread after I found it. Almost made a new thread for it, but I was able to find the old one from a week ago.

What does everyone think of the walking animation for the MC? In X/Y the walking animation felt like the MC was taking tiny steps at a slow pace. Now the MC takes big steps while marching like a soldier lol.

I find it a bit odd for a walking animation, but that's just me. But then again it's only the male protagonist we've seen do it so far, so there's a chance the walking animation may be a bit better for the female protagonist.

I wonder if it's slower if we use the + opposed to the analog stick.

It does look kind of awkward, but the walking animation in a lot of games ends up awkward. Maybe it's just a really tricky thing to animate. x-x

But some things about the game may still change, so they could try to improve it before the release.

 

[OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire]

It could also look awkward due to the fact that the characters aren't chibis anymore.

That's likely my guess, though we have to take into account the footage may not be final.

 

[MarinoKadame]

I like that the trainers got a 3D models now too and the transition of 3D to 2D in their intro.

 

[Iceshadow3317]

Yeah we need to remember that the games aren't finished and probably won't be completely finished until a month before the release and then have some patch notes a few weeks after.

I did find that walking seemed off, but as said, it might be because we aren't Chibis anymore. We also still have the run animation and possibly skates or something that may return.

Unlike the boosted exp share this typing feature IS forced upon you since it states which moves are super effective when selecting your move and even with the exp share turned off the experience you get in battle has been increased from earlier gens. Hell you get exp just from catching a Pokemon now.

Of course older and more experienced players will feel more adept but there was still an undeniable drop off in difficulty for the 6th gen games. I don't know how you can deny this between being gifted Megas like Lucario and stones for your starter when you only have to face a handful of trainers in-game who have a mega themselves (not complaining about megas just the lack of opposition who use them), X&Y's Elite Four having less than 6 Pokemon for their team, getting one of the Lati twins in ORAS without having to catch it and all before you even get your fourth badge ect. Inb4 you just suggest not using those Pokemon. Doesn't change the fact that they're lowering the difficulty and holding your hand through these games more than ever these days.

Part of the reason the difficulty has decreased is because gamefreak are targeting a younger and more casual audience with their newer games. It's why they didn't include a battle frontier for the Hoenn remakes. In an interview about ORAS Junicha Masuda said this.

Q:Why wasn't the Battle Frontier in the remakes?

A:This question is connected with my previous answer. We didn't put the BF in ORAS for this very reason. Interviewer's note: In short he means that they didn't include the BF because only a very small part of the players would have fully appreciated and made use of this feature; nowadays players get bored and frustrated more easily and they aren't interested in things that are so demanding/challenging.

It's always there, but it's the type of thing I wouldn't notice unless I was looking for it, I even missed it during the stream and assumed it was in the information bit.
Good job twisting my words. I didn't say the games haven't got easier, I said "Part of the perceived lack of difficulty" I stopped reading there because that's incredibly dishonest of you.

The fact you're going to twist my words into something different means I no longer have any interest in responding to you.

 

[User Anon 1848]

It's in the information bit isn't it? In which case you don't have to look at it, so it's optional.

From what I've seen it will state whether it's super effective underneath the move when selecting the move you want to use on a Pokemon you've encountered before. I'd be happy to be proven wrong though. I'm not twisting your words nor am I taking this back and forth as personally as you are apparently. I got the impression you were downplaying the decrease in difficulty by focusing on me being an older and more experienced player, which isn't inaccurate however I actually felt as if the games had maintained their level or difficulty (or even gotten harder in some cases) with each new generation up until 6th where there was a massive drop off in difficulty.

Again I wasn't twisting your words. No need to be so irritable buddy. People are free to bow out of debates without taking things to heart. Just some parting advice there.

You did twist my words, I acknowledged a drop in difficulty, you then tried to say I had denied it.

Hey guys. I have still been unable to find any real info about whatever is supposed to be coming tomorrow for E3 at the Pokemon Special. I did happen to find the supposed times. All info below is also from Perfectly Nintendo Site.

Europe: 4PM
UK: 3PM
North America (EST): 10AM
North America (PST): 7AM
Japan: 11PM

Some sources indicate that it may just be a rerun of yesterday's sun and moon stuff and today's Pokemon Go stuff. It says it is a special program for Japanese fans, which I am not 100% sure why that would be the case and not be earlier for them if that was all. No one seems to be exactly sure what we are supposed to get.

 

[Iceshadow3317]

I can't imagine there being anything more shown for this month than was shown at Treehouse. I imagine it'll be some sort of rerun as well; perhaps with a bit more gameplay than we were shown, but not by much.

All in all, I feel it might've been a rerun for those who have missed the Treehouse session? Certainly seems pretty likely.

Yeah that is what I am thinking. But we still haven't gotten the trailer/english names for koala and dog. And usually we get a trailer for what is in corocoro very soon after the offical corocoro release. But they might hold that off until World Hobby Fair, which is next weekend.

Just check Nintendo and Pokémon Company's youtube channels, you'll have everything you need there.

You know, if Popplio ends up being Fairy like some people are thinking now, it could end up evolving into a Selkie. A Selkie is a fairy that takes the form of a seal while at sea, but can shed it's skin on land and appear as a person. Male Selkie were said to be handsome and seduced lonely women. Meanwhile females who were unfortunate to get captured or get their seal skin caught by a human man could be controlled by them and forced to be his wife. Anyways,Popplio for sure has something backing the Fairy type in real life lore. GF has based Fairies on word play and fairy related stuff. Word play example; Gen VI we got a Fairy based on Cotton candy, in some countries (i think Australia) the stuff is called 'Fairy Floss' irc.
Myth examples; We also got a Fairy that was a deer. The Celtic people refered to Deer as 'Fairy Cattle'. The retcon Gen III Fairy, Mawile is based on a Yokai.
