dazzybee Posted February 26, 2016 Posted February 26, 2016 The direct was as dull and pointless as the games...
Ashley Posted February 26, 2016 Posted February 26, 2016 The direct was as dull and pointless as the games... How can you say that! We literally know nothing about the games
Julius Posted February 26, 2016 Posted February 26, 2016 I've managed to upload a bunch of screenshots from the Direct. This is for you guys! https://m.imgur.com/gallery/qnpLY

Jimbob Posted February 26, 2016 Posted February 26, 2016 To be honest, was there really a need for a direct to basically confirm the new games?
Julius Posted February 26, 2016 Posted February 26, 2016 Mind if I link to that in the news article? I'd be honoured. Go for it!
Retro_Link Posted February 26, 2016 Posted February 26, 2016 ... well at least @Serebii managed to get all his work done a day early :p
Glen-i Posted February 26, 2016 Posted February 26, 2016 Well, Serebii is obviously updating his site and he's put the Sun & Moon page under a Gen VII Header. I think he's finally convinced.
Julius Posted February 26, 2016 Posted February 26, 2016 (edited) And done. Danke. No problem Well, Serebii is obviously updating his site and he's put the Sun & Moon page under a Gen VII Header. I think he's finally convinced. I think he has every right to be; http://www.pokemon.com/us/pokemon-video-games/pokemon-sun-and-pokemon-moon/ "New world, new Pokémon and new adventures". From the art it even feels like a different gen (especially with the introduction of emergency services, what look like motels/resorts and Pokémon centre redesigns) Edited February 26, 2016 by Julius Caesar
Glen-i Posted February 26, 2016 Posted February 26, 2016 And done. Danke. OI! My Charmander and I want a word with you and your questionable taste in starters. Doesn't matter though. I'm getting Yellow, so I'll end up with all three. Ner ner ner ner ner ner ner ner!

Time to complete the Kanto part of the Pokédex (all fingers crossed for eventual GSC VC)

Dcubed Posted February 26, 2016 Posted February 26, 2016 Lack of footage was very disappointing. Confirmation of being right about RBY transfers being possible makes up for that nicely though Chinese language support is awesome to see too!
Julius Posted February 26, 2016 Posted February 26, 2016 (edited) RBY VC incompatible with XYORAS. Looking more and more like this is Gen VII people... http://www.pokemon.com/us/pokemon-video-games/pokemon-bank/#pokemon-sun-pokemon-moon Aaaaaaaand it's gone quiet again? Edited February 26, 2016 by Julius Caesar
Ashley Posted February 26, 2016 Posted February 26, 2016 In fairness we found out so little that's there's not really anything to talk about again...
Glen-i Posted February 26, 2016 Posted February 26, 2016 (edited) Water beats fire. Bring it. Ah, but this be Gen 1. And Gen 1 be insanely borked. Those in the know know that Speed trumps all! And Charizard is bottled lightning compared to Blastoise. Couple that with Fire Spin shenanigans and poor Turtle Tank doesn't have a hope! BS crits and broken moves all the way to the bank! That's the way to go! (Even Smogon claims that Blastoise is the weakest Gen 1 starter. That said, I still like Blastoise) Edited February 26, 2016 by Glen-i
Mr_Master_X2 Posted February 26, 2016 Posted February 26, 2016 (edited) No problem I think he has every right to be; http://www.pokemon.com/us/pokemon-video-games/pokemon-sun-and-pokemon-moon/ "New world, new Pokémon and new adventures". From the art it even feels like a different gen (especially with the introduction of emergency services, what look like motels/resorts and Pokémon centre redesigns) "New world, new Pokemon and new adventures" does that mean new gen? I'm not even sure what counts as new gen in Pokemon (I'm sure Serebii knows). If it continues XY background story...but features new region/new Pokemon (region next to Kalos...and maybe even features Kalos) and reuses XY/ORAS engine...what DOES it count as? I guess you could see it like the Gold/Silver situation (since that reuses engine, new region, new mon, continues background story and has region before) so I guess if we consider THAT a totally new gen to the gen before, we'd have to consider this one, too. It doesn't neccessarily have to be 100% new story and completely new engine to count as a new gen. Right, Serebii...? If it does by some chance completely ditch XY and unresolved story/uncatched Mon and isn't the third set of gen 6, I'll be honest...I'll feel short-changed here. I know some people dislike the third set concept, but it was a chance to refine things and get loads of extra content and finish story straggles off, and each gen they were continualy getting more and more new extra stuff (to the point new Mon/region were next on the list). Part of me still hopes this is set 3 that got so expansive it fell off the deep end. I think the engine will be improved for NEW 3DS, though. Lunatone/Solrock Megas are inevitable and version exclusive. I guess that gets people deciding on THEIR version already... Maybe Mega Sunflora and Mega Clefable, too?

Debug Mode Posted February 26, 2016 Posted February 26, 2016 So it was discovered this morning that the original URL for the Pokemon Sun and Moon logos had the name "Niji" instead of the version names. So, looks like the leaks were correct after all. Fucking hell.

dazzybee Posted February 26, 2016 Posted February 26, 2016 ZELDA FOR THE NX WHICH IS THIS YEAR BRUH To be fair, although it was one guy posting, it was actually two different sources of his wasn't it? One was the marketing person, one was a developer with the zelda/nx news

One was the marketing person, one was a developer with the zelda/nx news No, I'm sure it was the same guy. He talked about marketing for the Wii U in reference to Zelda remember?
dazzybee Posted February 26, 2016 Posted February 26, 2016 No, I'm sure it was the same guy. He talked about marketing for the Wii U in reference to Zelda remember? Yeah but I guess I presumed that Zelda was an opinionated tag on.
Julius Posted February 26, 2016 Posted February 26, 2016 Yeah but I guess I presumed that Zelda was an opinionated tag on. Well, considering he's got this and a Disney game right, I'd assume he managed to keep opinion out of it. NX AND SUN/MOON HYPE MY PUG-PICTURED FRIEND
Agent Gibbs Posted February 26, 2016 Posted February 26, 2016 Well we got very little but the concept art seemed nice, vehicles seems an interesting touch, wonder if they will be stationary objects? (like that damn van that mew was hidden under :p) or will they form part of cut scenes/events? it would be nice to see more of the public services it say's Pokemon were involved in in the various pokedex entries more info is surely coming in corocoro (or whatever its called)
