Mandalore Posted January 8, 2013 Posted January 8, 2013 Anyone else think it looks strange having a 'tall' main character wondering around the environment?
Dcubed Posted January 8, 2013 Posted January 8, 2013 Can't wait to see how Fennekin will evolve into Fire/Fighting :P LOL! My thoughts exactly Maybe they'll stick a boxing glove on its tail?
-Dem0- Posted January 8, 2013 Posted January 8, 2013 Maybe they'll stick a boxing glove on its tail? How about it's paws? Thanks to its amazing evolution, it can now stand on its hind legs and fight with its paws...
Dcubed Posted January 8, 2013 Posted January 8, 2013 Can't help but feel the graphics are a bit shit. /BurstsEveryonesBubble The battle graphics look great though! (and as far as visuals go, that's the part that it matters for)
-Dem0- Posted January 8, 2013 Posted January 8, 2013 Just got this from Serebii, I initially thought that this was going to be another Pokemon that will join the Legendary 'Musketeers'. but it's most likely to be the other Main game Legendary.
Agent Gibbs Posted January 8, 2013 Posted January 8, 2013 LOL! My thoughts exactly Maybe they'll stick a boxing glove on its tail? Kangaroo like pokemon? Well colour me flabbergasted! honestly i thought we were going to get a spin off game and i'd be very disappointed. Honestly didn't expect it to be quasi 3D either! is it just me or does it look very similar to the animated series in its art style? and a worldwide release in October THIS YEAR?! i have a NSFW gif that fits this....but i won't post it i'm at work October can't come soon enough! Loving the water and grass starters.....not the fire type so much, looks like a big eared fox with lots of ear hair and since we saw several different main character designs we can only hope that it means customizable looks! no more stupid hats that look like hair! i can be who i want to be! a scantily clad warrior princess! wait no thats code of princess i'm thinking of again :P
not_so_tiny Posted January 8, 2013 Posted January 8, 2013 Junichi_Masuda was just in France, and his Twitter photo is him with the Eiffel Tower We have what appears to be an Eiffel Tower like structure in the trailer, together with other classical European style architecture Starters based on things stereotypically associated with France, including Chestnuts, Frogs and Fennec The Cartesian coordinate system (you know, X & Y) was developed by René Descartes, a French philosopher So yeah, France.
Retro_Link Posted January 8, 2013 Posted January 8, 2013 I predict that Pokémon Z will have you crossing the channel and discovering the United region of Kingdom... or the united Kingdom region. :p
EEVILMURRAY Posted January 8, 2013 Posted January 8, 2013 Can't wait to see how Fennekin will evolve into Fire/Fighting :P NO YOU FUCKER! You've jinxed it! :'( I hate it when the fire starter evolves into a half fighting Graphical style of Golden Sun. I like it.
Shorty Posted January 8, 2013 Posted January 8, 2013 It looks like you can only run in straight lines, it looks pseudo 3D. It also looks like the first game I'll buy for my 3DS since I first got it.
-Dem0- Posted January 8, 2013 Posted January 8, 2013 It also looks like the first game I'll buy for my 3DS since I first got it. When did you get your 3DS?
Shorty Posted January 8, 2013 Posted January 8, 2013 When did you get your 3DS?July 2011 :p But I bought Super Mario 3D Land, forgot about that.
Ramar Posted January 8, 2013 Posted January 8, 2013 The battle graphics look great though! (and as far as visuals go, that's the part that it matters for) The battle graphics look better, but that's only half the game. The rest looks like something that could be run on the DS.
Hamishmash Posted January 8, 2013 Posted January 8, 2013 The fire starter was always going to be a fox anyway because of the zodiac. dragon, rat, rooster, monkey, pig, fox, etc
Iun Posted January 8, 2013 Posted January 8, 2013 AAaaaaaAAAAAaaaaaah! My underwear is in sufficiently large to hold this much "excitement"! No HMs kthxbi.
Captain Falcon Posted January 8, 2013 Posted January 8, 2013 So the Japanese logos show a double helix attached to the name and with the double helix typically represents the image for DNA, perhaps there won't be a Pokémon Z - so I'm going for the outside bet of predicting direct sequels in the form of Pokémon XX and Pokémon XY. I know people complain about the grid system for movement but you have to take into account just how much an impact is has on the game. Step counting is used for so much stuff that it you couldn't just give the characters 3D movement and expect everything to work without rewriting a massive chunk of the game mechanics. It is also the reason for no diagonal movement. Graphically it looks ok. Battles are nice but then very little is going on - you have two 3D models and 2D background, not particularly taxing on the system though the effect look nice. Still, I hope it doesn't suffer from the stadium games super slow combat and result in all the Pokémon having just two different animation patterns - one for contact moves and and one for none contact. The overworld looks a bit rough too. Not sure if the framerate is bad or the animation is just wonky... I have the feeling it's both right now. Still, I do like the new Pokémon designs which makes a nice change. I think the stag like X creature could have used a bit more work but the bird Y one looks really good.
Dcubed Posted January 8, 2013 Posted January 8, 2013 BTW, I'm starting to doubt that Pokemon Z... The logo has a DNA Helix in there (very small, but it is there...) Now I know what the logical thought behind it would be (Pokefusion), but there's no way it could be that; certainly not in the way we'd expect (they would have to make literally billions of variations of Pokemon!) At the very least, it'll be related to the storyline (it's not like it's new to the series - [cough]Pokemon R/B, Pokemon B&W2[/cough] and perhaps integrated into the gameplay in a very limited fashion (maybe only a handful of Pokemon, or maybe even a new "Fusion" type!)
Debug Mode Posted January 8, 2013 Posted January 8, 2013 DNA Helix? So, shall we assume that the third version will be split in two again in the form of XY/XX?
Captain Falcon Posted January 8, 2013 Posted January 8, 2013 DNA Helix? So, shall we assume that the third version will be split in two again in the form of XY/XX? If there is a follow up at all. XX/XY looks nice for sequels where DNA is a focus of the story line instead of just slapping a 2 on the end and having done. The only way I could imagine a Pokémon Z is if the story involved the discover of a new type of chromosome unique to certain Pokémon which just happens to be dubbed the Z chromosome. People leapt to Z on the idea of the X and Y representing co-ordinates when there is much more evidence to suggest that they don't (it's still not much, but at least it exists).
Retro_Link Posted January 8, 2013 Posted January 8, 2013 (edited) DNA (well Male and Female versions actually) came to my mind first with the X and Y, hadn't even thought of it as co-ordinates. I thought Z could be about some new creational element/story. There are Pokémon from other worlds/dimensions after all aren't there. Edited January 8, 2013 by Retro_Link
Agent Gibbs Posted January 8, 2013 Posted January 8, 2013 the third version could be Pokemon Helix or Pokemon DNA, more likely Helix as they could just have a Helix as a symbol not the word, technically speaking the X and Y might not be actual Letters in that logo, and symbolic images/representations of chromosomes
Serebii Posted January 8, 2013 Posted January 8, 2013 My graphics card died 45 minutes before this announcement
