Hey, now I finally have some reason to get a 3DS. Still, I probably won't get these until after I at least beat the elite 4 in my White version, which won't happen until I complete my Pokedex in my Diamond version. Damn gaming priorities!

I totally agree with you tbh. I just find after generation 3, the starters just got progressively worse :s I like the 3D take on it now that was fun to watch, big open world it seems, looks like a lot of fun. Legends look kinda cool but I've just been cynical about every legendary after Arceus. He was supposed to be creator of all pokemon, "GOD". Now they have these new legendary pokemon coming out each gen after which I'm sitting there um...ok :/ idk
Well, time to get a 3DS it seems.
Sigh, this proves that I'm addicted to Pokemon. I've told myself that gen V is the last one, not because I didn't like it but it was obvious that gen VI will be on the 3DS and I didn't want to buy one just for one game. But as soon as I saw the video, I just thought 'I must have this!'
Oh well, any other good games on the 3DS that have been or will be released, to make the purchase more justifiable?
OT:
The graphics look really good, I'd like to see some more footage from battles.
No word on the story yet, I wonder what the bad guys will be after this time. The deer looking legendary could maybe be an indication for something like Princess Mononoke. So, maybe the bad guys will pollute the environment and you have to stop them?
The legendaries themselves look really good, especially the flying legendary. There is something mysterious about them, something that the legendaries in gen IV and V lacked.
The grass starter looks like a rodent with green fur, doesn't really seem "grassy" to me. The water one is alright, I'd like to know what his final evolution looks like and judging from the colors, he looks like a water/ice type. I'll probably pick the fire starter, just hope its evolution won't look like Ninetails. But, usually when a fire starter looks anthropomorphic, it's going to be fire/fighting and any type that isn't fighting for the fire starter, is fine by me. Seriously Nintendo, stop that.
I hope that the games will have difficulty settings like B2/W2 have but I'd prefer to choose that from the beginning. Not after I've finished the game.
Finally they're going to release the games simultaneously, took them long enough.

Jeez, another generation already? It feels like the current one has just came out not too long ago.
Regardless, while I don't really like the looks of the grass starter, the fire and water starter at least look interesting. Plus I kinda like the legendaries.
Plus it's nice to see the series transition into full 3D. As much as I liked the sprites in previous Pokemon games, it's always nice to see something different.
Overall, I look forward to this. Now I just need to get around to playing through White 2...

Yes!!
Thank you, Game Freak! You have restored my confidence in the Pokemon handheld series once again! We're finally moving to an all 3D Pokemon handheld RPG with great animations and great looking Pokemon. I hope the that rest of the roster is just as great (kinda bummed a little that some Gen 5 Pokemon are returning, but w/e). I look forward more updates and it looks like I'm going to have to save up for a 3DS now.

It looks good, and finally Game Freak are putting some inovation into the franchise.
I just want the fire fox starter and call it Mozilla.

I'm intrigued for sure. Gen 5 at least was interesting on a gameplay and aesthetics front. Trying to shake things up at least. I doubt the formula will budge, but baby steps I guess.
Considering I only have 2 3DS exclusives (both ports), I look forward to this. And that fox is fucking adorable.
(and glad I'm no the only one who figured out the XYZ vs 3D bit)

Well it is about damn time it went to 3D. It didn't need 3DS technology for that, it could've accomplished that in Gen 4.
The new legenderies and starters all look pretty sweet =) I'll probably pick the Fire one, it looks cute. Here's to hoping it isn't another dual fighting type - if it is, I'd take Grass instead. And the deer legendary reminds me of Princess Mononoke so I'll go for it!
Aaand I guess this solves my dilemma of "Do I get a 3DS or not?". I've wanted one since KH 3D came out but not quite enough for ONLY that. This isn't solid enough reason on it's own either but TOGETHER - yeah I'll have to get one.

My thoughts? Neat, I love Cel Shading, looks like there could be character customisation too which I'd also enjoy, and a lot more exploration, possibly some legend of zelda elements to the dungeons and a bit of platforming, which is certainly nice.TheEvilCheese said:So, the Nintendo Direct just unveiled the new Generation 6 Pokemon games. Look to be set in a new Europe-esque region (after Gen5's America). It's a 3DS game and... well... Look at it.
Simultaneous world wide release this October. Dropping the 2D battle system. Looks like a big deal for the series.
Thought? Opinions?
I'm cautiously optimistic, and to me it certainly looks more interesting than Gen 4 or 5 did at this stage.
[EDIT]
And here are the new legendaries, along with which game they're likely to be in based on colour and shape, but B/W did it the other way around so who knows?
And here's the full 10 minute Nintendo Direct video announcement, though there's not much to it except emphasizing the world wide simultaneous release.
The starters look meh too me, I quite like the grass one and I hope it's not as poor as Snivy was. I also really hope they get creative with type combinations, I do not want another Fire-Fighting type gamefreak! Nor do I want Grass-Ground for my starter ): Grass-Rock could be nice though?
Maybe have secondary types for the starters work like they did in Gen 4 as a kind of check to the starter it was weak too... maybe not rock actually for grass grass is defensively poor as it is...
I think Grass/Rock would work OK as a starter, it would be interesting and weak to Bug, Steel, Fighting and Ice. So probably not great metagame-wise but they are certainly some of the lesser used attacks in the main game.SkarKrow said:
If they do the gen4 thing Grass/Dark Fire/Psycic and water/Fighting would work well, but that kind of defeats the point of the starters being an elemental triangle, it's to teach new players about weaknesses (and why you should level other pokémon too, if your rival can 1shot your starter)
I really like the graphical style too, gave me Colosseum flashbacks.
With them making everything 3-D I imagine that most of them could be returning pokemon since this would be the first time they get to go 3d but having enough new ones too for added freshness. and likely do future games that way using the remaining G1 or add alot of G2 etc. later.Spambot 3000 said:
It's a Pokémon game. That's pretty much like saying there are Pokémon in the game.endtherapture said:
Anyway, barring some sort of revelation that Pokemons X and Y steal your soul or render you impotent, I'm probably getting it. Could do without the new Pokés, but a 3D adventure with Pokémon has me fairly intrigued.
Oh wow.. Pokemon finally makes it to the third dimension, huh? Jeeze, I still remember my jaw dropping the first time I saw a Pidgey flap its wings in Crystal.. Oh, those were the days. Finally time to buy myself a 3DS I suppose. Man, I miss the days when my parents would be the ones footin' the Pokemon bill haha
Oh, and the fire starter.. Kawaii, ne? ^_^

I clicked on this thread thinking that OP is probably ranting about Nintendo's habit of releasing two near-identical Pokemon games at a time. But no, they actually went and named these two games X and Y! Wow. No, I'm not saying that it's a bad name choice. Wonder what names will the next Pokemon games have. Alpha and Omega? Ying and Yang? Left and Right? Anyways, I was never really that much into handhelds, and I just can't play the Pokemon games anymore. I mean, the interface in general and the use of the touchscreen in HG/SS was perfect. If you have no use for the touchscreen outside of battle, it's only logical to put the game menu there, so that the player can easily access all their stuff with just a single poke. It was really, really convenient, but no, they still replaced it with that watch thing in Diamond and Pearl. I know it may sound petty and stupid, but I literally stopped playing the Pokemon games and gave my DS to my cousin because the developers didn't stick with the kind of interface that I liked.
Captcha: "time lord"
Yep, that's a much better thing to get obsessed over.

Diamond / Pearl came out way before HG/SS, and the touch screen menu wasn't used in black/white either because they were developed at the same time in parallel. B&W got some good features out of it and HG/SS got others, but one wasn't built upon the other as usually happens. Hopefully the new games will learn from it and at the very least have more options for the touch screen.Yellowfish said:
When I first saw the title, I thought it was some kind of placeholder.
So, new graphics and new Pokemon? How revolutionary... I guess it worked the last 5 times, so why fix what isn't broken, right?
If they'd finally improve the entire game system to make it more about taming and training monsters, instead of a graphics overhaul on a 15 year old RPG engine, I might even consider getting it.

We just finished Gen 5. No way in fuck will they announce a new-
[HEADING=2]WE JUST FINISHED GEN 5 GAMEFREAK!!!![/HEADING]
Yeah this actually really annoys me. Gen 4 alone lasted 5 fucking years. Gen 5 is only on it's second! I still have not learned all the names yet! They really should have at least waited till the Mystery Dungeon game was done before pulling this on us!
Still though. I will buy it when it comes out like the sheep I am.
Also come on Gamefreak. Why if the Grass Starter so fucking ugly?
Every game I have chosen the Grass Starter except Gen 4 because Turtwig looked retarded. Let's not have a repeat of that now! However the fire starter looks fucking amazing. Lets just pray it is not Fire Fighting AGAIN.
