General Pokémon Thread

[Rayfist]

Not even a trailer or anything to accommodate.

I just love how 'sudden' the announcement was. During the history showing of the series it's just randomly like "AND IN 2016 SUN AND MOON", I think we all saw that coming lol.

[Pirez]

I wasn't expecting a 1 hour-long Direct, but maybe a better presentation. The reveal of the starters maybe, or the region (just the name because why not).

This post-Iwata era is not starting well...

[Master]

In fairness, they probably weren't expecting that leak to come out.

They haven't really stated anything about it being a new gen or not, I'd imagine it is, but I wonder why it wasn't stated flat out.

[Bradandez]

That was kinda short.

Also for us Americans, tomorrow is Pokemon Day at participating Gamestops. Buy anything Pokemon related and get a free poster.

Because suspense.

It confirmed Sun & Moon to be real so i'm not too bothered by it. Only thing that bothers me is nothing to do with the trailer but the fact that pre-orders are up already : http://mynintendonews.com/2016/02/26/pr ... dy-opened/

Granted they said Holiday 2016 release so it's no that far off but very skeptical for a game where very brief concept art of the game has been shown.

[Bradandez]

EMERGENCY!

Tomorrow I want to get my first Pokemon game for the 3DS but which one should I get? Pokemon Omega Ruby or Pokemon Y?

I need to know by tomorrow. Thanks in advance!

[Imco]

Omega Ruby. The third generation Pokémon games is the best in my opinion, and Omega Ruby portrays all the great aspects from the original Ruby game. Y is great as well, although I can't say I'm too fond of Pokémon like Trubbish... (Although eventually you will be able to catch those generation Pokémon as well in OR)

[Sabertooth]

Super pumped to see content from SM. Also, Trubbish is amazing.

[Keane]

I'd say the Gen 3 remakes are more the classic type of Pokemon game, whereas X&Y are kinda the new direction that S&M'll probably follow as well. I dunno I've you played Pokemon before, but I feel like a newcomer might actually lean more towards X&Y, the region is a lot more diverse and stylistic, there's an awesome balance of old and new Pokemon, and it introduced a couple new ideas to the series.

Not that Omega Ruby is bad or something, but they were pretty loyal to the original game and Gen 3 was inevitably just a little less crazy than what followed it. Which is obviously fine for old timers but, but it does mean they had to take a slight step backwards.

Get X/Y Brad.
ORAS are good games I suppose but I personally feel like it's the weakest in terms of the regio design (I don't know why but gen 3 doesn't do it for me)

[Dart]

I really didn't enjoy ORAS to be honest As someone whose first game was pokemon XY, it really felt like a step backwards to have character customization and pokemon variety taken away from me. If you want to play a game that doesn't just feature Grass, Water, & Grass-water types, go with XY.

[Bradandez]

Well, I got Pokemon Y seeing as more members recommended that. Can't wait to play it!

[Sigmundberg]

I'm a little ticked off by people saying "This direct sucked it was short we didn't get any info about sun & moon"

If not for the leak, the Sun & Moon announcement could've made a better impression.
The leak killed it all.

[Pirez]

Well... New Pokémon, same behavior. I made a video about it for Pokémon ORAS, but for the occasion I added subs for you.
This is gonna be me come December. How about you?

[Dart]

I imagine I'll probably be like that...

[Haruka]

I guess it is time to start saving 50€ for the end of the year's Pokémon Sun!

I am interested Pokkén but obviously not for the full price. I will wait the necessary before grabbing myself a copy.

And bought Pokémon Blue yesterday for my 3DS.

[Pirez]

Celebi is now distributed through the Mystery gift function.

It's always like that isn't it?
'yeah I'm not gonna pick it up it's always the sa-holy fuck when did I buy moon?'

[Bradandez]

Oh man, I'm loving Pokemon Y. It's pretty fun!
