Posted August 9, 2013 Although I like the look of some of those Mega Evolutions, I can't get my head around the concept. Only a few have it and it's temporary.. Why? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 9, 2013 Although I like the look of some of those Mega Evolutions, I can't get my head around the concept. Only a few have it and it's temporary.. Why? Basically, they're evolutions for the Pokémon, but because that gives them extra power, it's completely temporary and optional Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 9, 2013 The reason is merchandise. And more Pokemon to showcase in the movies. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 9, 2013 Didn't see anything about the new training/mini games for stats here? This new mega thing seems great, though I feel like this may be "cheat easy" mode for new players to basically trounce anything no matter type. I'd like the E4 battles to be, "I got you bastard...FUCK HE'S GOING MEGA!!" I want Gym/E4 battles so hard and legendary that it actually matters which Pokemon I have for a change. (Please be a hard mode open from the get-go where Gym leaders actually have 6 Pokemon. they're meant to be the best of the best, for God's sake...) I'd also like Pokemon Masters (of each type) to hunt down and fight with after the E4. Serebii, can you actually confirm how long they've been working on this game? Maybe an expanded development team or something? I'm just worried they've cut corners somewhere, like much less new Pokemon,or that huge map is illusionary and is actually a pretty small game area. I mean, they already had over 600 Pokemon/zillion moves to redo and animate. I can only imagine the time cost with just that<. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 9, 2013 (edited) That gif is sexy. I'd love to make an "updated" one but I dunno how to make gif thingies. EDIT: I hacve taught myself the way. Now it's just a matter of can I be bothered to redo all 105ish frames. Edited August 10, 2013 by EEVILMURRAY Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They have been working on the game since 2010 Models for the first 649 Pokémon, and all their forms, already existed in Pokédex 3D Pro, too, so it wasn't too much extra work Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Black and white 2 had a hard mode but it wasn't an option you could activate from the beginning. It was awesome though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 10, 2013 What's the mouse Pokémon that looks like a pre-evolved Raichu that isn't a Pikachu? (yes I've only played Pokémon Red :p) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 10, 2013 (edited) What's the mouse Pokémon that looks like a pre-evolved Raichu that isn't a Pikachu? (yes I've only played Pokémon Red :p) There's a tradition that there is always an Electric-type rodent which looks similar to Pikachu introduced in each generation Generation 1 - Pikachu: Electric-type Generation 2 - Pichu: Electric-type (actually related to Pikachu) Generation 3 - Plusle/Minun: Electric-type Generation 4 - Pachirisu: Electric-type Generation 5 - Emolga: Electric/Flying-type Generation 6 - Dedenne: Electric/Fairy-type Each runs different sets with different abilities and have varying stats, so they aren't the same Edited August 10, 2013 by Serebii Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 10, 2013 So the new one has antennas for cheeks and ears, and an plug wire for a a tail. Hmmm... I always thought Pachirisu was ICE until I actually caught one in the game it was introduced in. It feels like they designed an ICE Pokemon and then just said "sod it" and made it ELECTRIC at the last minute. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted August 10, 2013 (edited) That is bloody awesome! What a great idea! Double attacks sound completely broken! (Kangaskhan to become Uber?) Actually, I get the feeling that the game will probably have it's own seperate Mega Cup rule set, so I guess that tiering will probably be redundant for Mega Pokemon anyway...

Double attacks are a misinterpretation going around. Think like the move Double Hit, Double-slap etc. The move will hit twice, but as it'll need to hold the Kangaskhanite, it won't have anything like Choice items attached. You also can only have one Mega Evolution on your team Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You also can only have one Mega Evolution on your team Ahhh, only one Mega Evo... So even Game Freak admit that Mega Pokemon are broken by limiting them to one per team :p I hope they still have a separate Mega Pokemon tournament, where you can have a full team of 6 megas!

Posted August 10, 2013 I can see Thief being a popular move. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 11, 2013 I can see Thief being a popular move. That may not work. It'll probably be like Giratina's Griseous Orb in that the item cannot be removed Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 11, 2013 That may not work. It'll probably be like Giratina's Griseous Orb in that the item cannot be removed If it was removable, that could make for some interesting strategies in mid battle. I hope that they don't make it irremovable! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 11, 2013 My concern is them possibly not giving us over 100 new Pokémon in favour of giving say 60 new ones and a buttload of Mega Evolutions Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 11, 2013 With DLC they could just drip feed new Mega forms and event Pokemon/items over time. Or they could just stick to their old ways and 'hide' everything on the cartridge for hackers to spoil on day 1. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Though hackers won't be able to get into the game day one. Nobody has broken encryption yet Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 11, 2013 It wont be DLC, but I agree about events. Though hackers won't be able to get into the game day one. Nobody has broken encryption yet Doing those things as proper (free) DLC makes perfect sense. It frees up cartridge space (more cartridge capacity = more expensive to manufacture), shortens development time for the base game and completely removes any chance of hackers ruining the event content in the case that (god forbid) the 3DS ends up getting hacked proper. Plus it means that they could add any number of items/events/Pokemon that they want, over time, instead of being limited to what's on the cartridge on day 1. Imagine. You go to sleep one night, then the next day, suddenly (thanks to Spotpass) there's an outbreak of a group of all new Pokemon roaming the countryside!

That would be catastrophic I do agree that they should do that with Mythical Pokémon, but not standard ones. All of last year, I got so fed up. Keldeo got revealed "I already have one. They should show new Pokémon". Meloetta got revealed "I already have one. They should show new Pokémon". Genesect got revealed "I already have one. They should show new Pokémon" Now, they can skip that. The reveals will be huge! It wouldn't be done through DLC though, but with a mandatory and viral patch. You need to download it to go online, and if you connect to someone who doesn't have it, it'll spread Edited August 11, 2013 by Serebii Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
