Pokemon X and Y announced for 3ds

[Clydefrosch]

Lugia have a brother/sister?



That aside, interesting name, some many ways to look at it but foreshadows genetic a bit, which pokemon is all about.

since when is pokemon all about genetic besides the little sidestory part about mew and mewtwo? and a few other gen one pokemon like eevee and ditto

It's probably more likely it's not about chromosomes, which might be a little too high concept for some of the six year olds playing this game, and instead be another reminder that its all about 3D now.

Kinda like every super nintendo game used to have "Super" in its name, or every N64 be "'Game' 64"

Ohhhh, the grass one is a chestnut.

Yeah, I JUST got that.

Still looks like a pedo in a costume.

Kyurem was sorta bordering on that though the logic behind it is messed up LOL. And the Japanese logo does feature some DNA like thing.

Spoiler: Don't wanna hog space

But why choose one or the other?

And kinda stumbled upon this a while back and have been itching to use it Since you mentioned 6 year olds not getting genetics...

I don't like it one bit I like the normal RPG Pokemon style.

You mean the SNES top-down locked-in-grid style?

 

[Rizsparky]

Is movement still tile based but from a different camera perceptive?

Sure is but now in 3D world.

Can't complain, battle animation looks pretty polished, can't wait to see the game in its native resolution too

 

[Scott-105]

I don't know if that has been answered yet, but is this game Gen 6, or is it just new starters?

 

[Rydian]

New pokemon always means a new gen, it's gen6.

 

[heartgold]

Over 700 Pokemon confirmed by the Pokemon Company. Over 151 new Pokemon bring it on.

Gen 6

Also, according to serebii there will now be over 700 Pokemon (meaning at least 52 new pokemon will be brought in, but more than likely more)

 

[porkiewpyne]

I think a few pages back (or in the other thread) someone noted the number of new Pokemon added every new gen and noted a pattern. So in this gen, there should be ~110 new ones. Of course, all this "trend"' thing is not a must-follow rule so yea.

Actually over 51, cause we already got 649, right?

Huh. I didn't think it would be. It seems really soon. Oh well. I'm excited.

 

[Arras]

I can't be the only one who thinks the Japanese logos look ten times better than our typical yellow POKEMON?

 

[Ethevion]

50 more is plenty for me

 

[DaniPoo]

You've gotta hand it to Nintendo. I don't think anyone expected this.

I did.. I mean why wouldnt they do this? It really seems like the natural way to go. Heck I was wondering back at diamond and pearl if the next game in the series would feature polygon modeled pokemon. Ok they didnt do that. But they started to integrate more 3d in their games. and now after alot of DS games, more than expected. They finally moves over to the 3DS. It's about time

Me. Always have. Especially from RSE onwards.
