not_so_tiny Posted January 8, 2013 Posted January 8, 2013 Wow October, I'm very impressed, I was expecting Summer next year for us at the earliest. Yeah I'm excited. I like the new starters, the frog is awesome. They have gotten rid of the Pokemon sprites which is sad, but the 3D models look very cool.
Ike Posted January 8, 2013 Posted January 8, 2013 Some of the graphics looked very poor but I'm sure it'll sort itself out. They did say it's not final.
Debug Mode Posted January 8, 2013 Posted January 8, 2013 There is one difference between the two streams and it's rather important In the Japanese stream, Iwata emphasised the word 「ほとんど」. Although having a new series title come out in the same month world wide is quite a feat, don't fully expect it to land on the same day worldwide. ほとんど basically means "mostly, nearly" etc and it seemed to indicate there may be a slight delay between launches.
Hamishmash Posted January 8, 2013 Posted January 8, 2013 Did you notice that in the shot of the forest, the male player character was being followed by the female player character who was moving independently? Simultaneous play?
RedShell Posted January 8, 2013 Posted January 8, 2013 I'm hoping that image means we can finally customize the trainer appearance.
Lens of Truth Posted January 8, 2013 Posted January 8, 2013 Froakie looks great! The graphics seem like a half-step up from the DS, but they're still charming. So are the legendaries supposed to visually form an X and Y shape? *watches again*
not_so_tiny Posted January 8, 2013 Posted January 8, 2013 The dude was roller skating in one of the clips. No more bicycle? Froakie will be mine. It's time to end the Grass Starter streak.
Debug Mode Posted January 8, 2013 Posted January 8, 2013 Did you notice that in the shot of the forest, the male player character was being followed by the female player character who was moving independently? Simultaneous play? It didn't look like she was moving independently to me, but the female character in that scene is different from the other female character we saw. But if that is the case, player customisation confirmed!
not_so_tiny Posted January 8, 2013 Posted January 8, 2013 Did you notice that in the shot of the forest, the male player character was being followed by the female player character who was moving independently? Simultaneous play? I'm not convinced that was the female player character. In other clips she's wearing a red hat. Would be cool though.
Dcubed Posted January 8, 2013 Posted January 8, 2013 Is this running on the Golden Sun Dark Dawn engine outside of battles!? It looks so similar it's actually creepy! Could Camelot have given Game Freak their DS engine? (maybe even co-developing?)
-Dem0- Posted January 8, 2013 Posted January 8, 2013 So are the legendaries supposed to visually form an X and Y shape? *watches again* That may be the case. The style of the 'Y' resembles the talons/feathers of that legendary.
The-chosen-one Posted January 8, 2013 Posted January 8, 2013 this actually looks cool, and going to buy this one, but i hoped for a Wii u pokemon, and cell shaded actually fits for pokemon
not_so_tiny Posted January 8, 2013 Posted January 8, 2013 The room with the giant cobweb pretty much confirms a Bug Gym. Also the Eiffel tower like structure, a Europe theme this time?
Hamishmash Posted January 8, 2013 Posted January 8, 2013 I’m convinced there is character customisation. That mirror shot is just perfect for it. Both characters designs are much more bland then usual and his sunglasses look really awkward. That’s what I’m hoping anyway.
-Dem0- Posted January 8, 2013 Posted January 8, 2013 What starter I choose depends on it's moveset and the other Pokemon that will make up the party. But I'm liking Chespin already.
Rowan Posted January 8, 2013 Posted January 8, 2013 Really like the art style that they've gone for and finally a simultaneous launch. The nostalgia trip in the Direct was pretty cool too.
not_so_tiny Posted January 8, 2013 Posted January 8, 2013 Can't wait to see how Fennekin will evolve into Fire/Fighting :P
Ramar Posted January 8, 2013 Posted January 8, 2013 Can't help but feel the graphics are a bit shit. /BurstsEveryonesBubble
-Dem0- Posted January 8, 2013 Posted January 8, 2013 Can't wait to see how Fennekin will evolve into Fire/Fighting :P A fourth Fire/Fighter starter!? Don't think it'll happen.
