OLD STUFF THAT I WAS TALKING ABOUT BEFORE THE ANNOUNCEMENT THE SIXTH GEN IS HERE FOLKS Pokemon X and Pokemon Y! An interesting twist, I'd say! After the awesome success of Black and White and Black 2 and White 2, I have absolutely no worries. That fully 3D world is finally here. Starters and legends revealed right off the bat? Crazy! English Reveal Video Iwata's Pokemon Direct video - (X and Y are only towards the end, with the same video as above) This marks the very first time Pokemon will be receiving a worldwide release - October 2013! They were moving closer and closer to this with Black and White 2, with only a three month gap in between the Japan and States release, but it looks like they've finally closed the gap. Iwata said it's something they've been working on for a long time. SO! Starters revealed right of the bat! Chespin the Grass... otter thing (?), Fennekin the adorable fire Fennec Fox (thanks inkscratches!), and Froakie, the water frog. PICS - Chespin Fennekin Froakie And then what appears to be the two legendary mascots were shown as well. One is some kind of huge bird, and the other is some kind of huge elk. EDIT - names revealed a day after. Xerneas is the X elk and Yveltal is the Y bird. PICS - Yveltal Xerneas Interesting information/speculation stolen from Water Pokemon Master at Pokebeach - --The region seems to be based on Paris (note Pikachu on the Eiffel Tower at the beginning, etc) --X and Y may be inspired by DNA - you know, X and Y chromosomes (the Japanese logos have DNA-looking pieces on them) --New gameplay features such as swinging on vines and roller blading (likely a replacement for biking) Source, pictures of the starters in action here!

It was nothing less than the sixth generation, a full revisioning of the Pokemon world using complete 3D graphics! Starters and legends and gameplay were all shown, check it out! Honestly, while I do like all of the starter designs, I'm inclined towards Fennekin's adorable-ness. I hope Chespin has some neat evolutions to I don't have to break my Grass starter chain! Also, is it just me or does Fenny use a Psychic move? Could this hint at Fire/Psychic? On that note, Chespin attacks a Golurk with some kind of claw move... which could NOT be Scratch (ghost is immune to normal). It looks dark... could it be Shadow Claw? Could this hint at Grass/Dark? And if those two are right, that could only mean Froakie would be Water/Fighting! So it's like a reverse, counteraction Grass-Fire-Water triangle, perhaps? Water and can best Grass due to Fighting besting Dark, and so on. Edited by Togeshroob, Jan 8 2013, 08:39 AM.

OMG I WOKE UP, LOOKED AT TWITTER, AND SCREAMED. I ran into my sister's room, shook her awake, plugged her iPad into the TV, pulled up the trailer, hit play. WE BOTH SCREAMED. Oh my word, the 3D-ness! The feeling of an open map! WORLDWIDE release?!?! I don't have to wait for those greedy Japanese to share the game?? |

Hot damn I need me that fire starter. A Fennec Fox pokemon has to owned and I need an army of them. But wow, this new look is freakin' weird. It's like the GameCube just shot the developers and remodeled the new generation in its image. God, I was waiting for waiting for something to make me get a 3DS and this is certainly it. |

crazy sexy, and sexy crazy

I created a fanclub for Fennec Foxes a few years back on FB. Unless the evos look terrible I'm going with Fennekin. But honestly, is anybody else a bit bummed out that they didn't release any silhouettes? I love the whole speculation part whenever a new game comes out. |

Haha, I and thought it was a Chihuahua. Well hey, they kinda look like Fennec Foxes okay? Lovin' yer new avvy, M! And yeah, that's why I was so surprised they just went ahead and fully revealed the starters - usually silhouettes are the way to go. I don't mind too much though. I mean, you watch a ten minute video and at the end he goes - "oh and we're making a sixth gen here are some shadows!" - that would be a little disappointing in itself :p |

Aw crap. They went and made a 3D Pokemon game, now I have to buy it. I wasn't going to buy anymore 2D Pokemon games because they're all pretty much the same. I've been waiting for a 3D one for a while. It's looks to be full 3D and not semi-top view, which is good. Labeled as letters instead of colours now? That will be kinda weird with future games though. What's the next ones gonna be called? Pokemon A and B? I don't know about the graphics though, for a Nintendo game I thought the graphics would have been a bit better. I don't know....it looks kinda jaggy and black lines are pretty noticeable.

^ It's on a handheld with around Gamecube power; have you played many other 3DS games? Ya just gotta live with jaggies and black lines with some hardware. Also I wish you had played Black/White and Black/White 2! They were such a breath of fresh air, very progressive! @LK Yeah, me too. Judging from its design I don't think we'll have to worry about that. Fire/Psychic seems plausible - in the video it uses some kind of attack involving squiggly pink lines encircling the foe. Looks like a Psychic attack to me! ALSO The Elk is the 'X' Legendary - it has X's as its eye pupils, and it can make the shape of an X with its antlers and legs. The Bird is the 'Y' Legendary - its body and wings create a Y shape (see video) I've read lots of theories about them thus far. Their designs really do call to mind interesting themes... Black and White introduced the concept of actually, you know, creating Pokemon with to tie into the theme of the story (what with the question of morals and ideals and truth being Black and White), so I'm very interesting in the inspiration behind these two, as well as their association with the letters X and Y.

Well, Tepig is a little pig right? I thought that maybe Fennekin's design would go in another direction from fire/fighting but I thought the same thing about Tepig! If it's another fire/fighting then I'm going to fly down to Japan and punch those mothfuckers in the face. One by one. |

@shroob: All the 3DS games I've played looked fine unless I was playing them with the 3D on. Plus, the 3DS may have Gamecube power but Gamecube games look a lot better. I think the reason for the letters is kinda neat with this game, however, future games that have letters as the titles I think the whole "Pokemon looking like the letters in some way" will be kinda lame.....I don't know.... But anyways, I like the water starter best when it comes to what it looks like. The fire one looks kinda unoriginal and the grass one is the opposite, looks a bit strange. I think the water one is in between, original enough but not too out there, and it looks kinda neat. Edited by Pyroll7, Jan 8 2013, 09:37 PM.
