You know, as soon as we know the full Pokedex, I'll post a list based on how I think the dex SHOULD have been

by Dregadude Fri Oct 04, 2013 2:39 pm

Oh wow, I really like those designs. Why does it have to be that these new Pokemon range from "really imaginative" to "repetitive pink Fairy"?

New Pokémon thoughts:

by d_what Fri Oct 04, 2013 2:49 pm

Because that makes the most sense. We can talk about the darke faeries all day but the fact of the matter is, nowadays fairies are pink, cute, glittery, and probably owned by Disney. Accept this and enjoy the outliers! They have to build a base of these examples to begin with, too.

So. Purely from reading reviews, things I'd guess:

There's no challenge mode or increased difficulty.
No new evolutions bar Sylveon.
TMs keep gen 5 mechanics, HMs exist.
No contests.
No news of a safari zone... Or a frontier... Could this be the definition of a super concentrated gen?
Nobody gives a hoot about Hidden Power. Anybody have a list of the TMs, or even the number? I'd quite like to see it.
Items probably won't be storable from gen 5 to Bank. I can't imagine gen 6 to other gen 6 would keep this.
Possibly understated legends? No word of a deep backstory or mystic ruins or anything really. I like ruins... Not too keen on legend saturation though.
Gardevoir megaevolves. This is in a review so GF are obviously okay with us knowing.

None of these are really bad things, since they maintain the pattern of previous gens always forgetting good parts of the one before it. Still hyped. Although... I don't actually know why, when I think about it? Probably just to be out of gen 5. White being my main game makes my soul itch.

Also I wonder what this gen's pseudo legend is! They usually tell us by now.

I'm guessing that Noivern will be the Gen VI pseudo-legendary. I could be wrong, but out of the ones we've seen thus far, it seems the most likely.

by Spark Eletran Fri Oct 04, 2013 3:30 pm

well...

Gen VI pseudo-legendary opinions, with pics:

by cephalopodAscendant Fri Oct 04, 2013 3:41 pm

Gen VI Pseudo-Legendary Possibility:

In non-spoilery news, it's been officially announced that Pokémon Bank launches December 27 (Christmas Day for Japan). You get a 30-day free trial if you download and use it before February 1. It costs $5/year in the US, 500¥/year in Japan, and unknown in Europe. I have to wonder why it's not launching right away. I'm guessing it's one of two reasons: either they want to make everyone try out the new Pokémon before simply porting over their old teams, or the app was finalized relatively late in the games' development and they need a while to get all the servers up and running.

by **Hanky Panky** Fri Oct 04, 2013 3:50 pm

They're probably taking the time to get all the servers running, with the added bonus of forcing everyone to get new teams.

That'd be my guess.

MEGAAAAA EVOLUTIOOOOON:

by cephalopodAscendant Fri Oct 04, 2013 4:43 pm

At this rate, it feels like every fully-evolved Pokémon is getting a Mega Evolution.

by d_what Fri Oct 04, 2013 4:49 pm

You say that like it's a bad thing.

That said, I can easily imagine a mega Dragonair, solving problems the same way MCharX did.

God I want to click those so bad.
But I won't.
Can none of you resist the leaks? You know it's more fun without them, right?

by Spark Eletran Fri Oct 04, 2013 4:51 pm

IT youre kinda late with those first two i posted them already some time ago

the mega evo is cool though

you said it was level 35 though... but its clearly 53 ._.

EDIT:

According to Bulbanews, opinion of one of the reviewers:

"Katy Ellis of Nintendo Life positively noted the smaller focus on gym battles in the main story and
the many non-Gym cities that the player will visit. "

....interesting

by OverlordJ Fri Oct 04, 2013 4:55 pm

As far as I can see it, it looks ugly as sin.

by variegatedDreamraptor Fri Oct 04, 2013 5:43 pm

I'd like to see it from a couple more angles personally. Probably not going to be my pick though.

Hey, Gyarados has a legitmate mouth instead of the lamprey-sucker face it used to! I actually kind of prefer the old Metagross icon, but all in all they do look much better. Makes you wonder why it took so long for Game Freak to update them.
