gaming Pokemon X and Y Discussion Thread

[Vinyl Scratch (Filly)™ 936]

I wish I could get X and Y but I do not own a 3Ds and will not be buying one :/ ah well I guess I could borrow my girlfriends 3Ds lol! XD

[Radiance64 7,053]

Hey guys! Amazing news for those who pre ordered Pokemon X or Pokemon Y! If you have yours reserved at Gamestop like me, you get this awesome two sided poster of the new town and exclusives!  If you pre order both X and Y, you get a timeline of the series! 

Wow, those are pretty nice. Don't know if I'll be able to preorder one of them(and it would just be one, probably X) but that certainly gives me some incentive to try.

[Kapi 215]

Well, it appears to i suppose. It will be cool regardless. 

 

Sounds cool, and if some pokemon get it, then all probably will, it would otherwise be kinda a poor design choice really. It wouldn't make sense. It would be like having pokemon emerald only give some pokemon animations when they're sent out.

 

Probaly just because the games not totally done or something.

 

Oh gosh, i'm going to accidently tap my pokemon so many times... And i'm going to be like "Omg I'm so sorry . " I can see it now..

 

Still i like being able to interact with my pokemon, makes them feel more real, and i like that(Although i wish they walked with you like in HG and SS to, but oh well :/.

Yeah, some older footage actually had "What will <Pokemon> do?" I think there was one screencap that had the new "Awaiting Directions" line, but it wasn't until the demos we really got to see it.

 

I hate when I do that in the Chao Garden, it makes me feel bad. It's going to be even worse on Amie, so many accidental taps GAH.

 

I know they appear on the bottom screen during game play. They might not walk with you but they still interact in a way, Fennekin takes a nap, Froakie bounces around, and Chespin rolls around (Not the "Spindash" kind of roll) so it's still something.

 

I do wonder what the music note button in amie does though. People have said it oesn't work in the demo. It'd be cool if you could hum a song to your Pokemon and watch it try to mimic you.

 

Oh, I thought of something too. I think it would be cool if you could cheer up your Pokemon during battle. Like when the text "Chespin is in a bit of a pinch. It looks like it might cry," appears, you could hold the R button and say something encouraging, or smile at the camera, and it will make the Pokemon happier, it would still be at ciritcal health, but it'd be a neat way of interacting with them while in battle.

Heads up guys,

Asking "wtf is the new mewtwo" . Well he is part of the new MEGA EVOLUTIONS of pokemon

Some pokemon will now have a awesomer and powerful looking forms

Mega Mewtwo

Mega Ampaharos

Mega Absol

Mega Lucario

Mega Blaziken

Mega Mawile

There could be more actually. You actually require a MEGA STONE to get it

Also there is a trailer

Well Atleast we know some varrying text appears. Adds little variations

 

And yeah, not to mention I love Pokemon, so like I'm going to feel really bad, even if they're not real.

 

And amie is going to be a bottom screen thing? That's cool, maybe it'll make up for the fact they don't follow you. I like interaction with the Pokemon, adds to the immersion, so I suppose it'll do, plus doing 3D sprites for all the Pokemon for the overworld might be hard idk.

 

I hope amie is cool, idk what it does, but I have a feeling it has to do with having the Pokemon mimic you.

 

Regardless I hope it turns out good.

 

And I suppose that could be a cool feature, of course idk, depending on the frequency it can be annoying, and sometimes your trying to be quiet and can't speak into the mic.

 

But it's a cool idea.

Yea we kind of already discussed this. Make sure to check some older posts, and maybe continue some of the discussions and speculations we had when we first heard about it!

Ok, more Amie news thanks to Serebii:

 

3 Stats: Friendliness, Hunger, and Play. Friendliness is self-explanatory, as is Hunger. Play is how much you tend to play with your Pokemon.

 

Now, what does this affect? Well, remember my last post(s)? In battle text and effects change depending on how you take care of your Pokemon. For example, if it doesn't like you so much, the text might read "What will Chespin do?" but if it likes you, "Chespin is awaitng Kapi's directions..."

 

FURTHERMORE, the Critical Hit ratio is higher, as well as evaisveness. If your Pokemon loves you as a Trainer, it will work harder in battles for you. Otherwise, it's the same experience as previous games. Finally, a Pokemon has a better chance of healing itself from Paralisys, and has a better chance of enduring hits. That's why in the Wi-Fi demos, some Pokemon, while hit with Super Effective moves, were better able to endure the hit.

 

Also, they're messy eaters. Might want to keep some Bounty in your bag.

The only thing that's unclear is whether or not these will work in online battles. Since not everyone is going to take part in Amie, it would seem kind of weird to allow the improvements to work in tournaments and online battles, but we'll see.

Sounds interesting and could be quite good, i simply hope that it doesn't screw up balance or anything, and make the game way to easy or something.

 

Also this should be disabled in online play i think, unless its really well balanced or something idk.

 

Its cool though, i'll have to see how it works in game, but it looks cool.

 

Also i need to go get my 3DS, i'm gonna try and get my mom to let me get one this week hopefully, and then pre order x or Y while i'm at it(currently getting Y i think, but not totally sure.)

 

And yeah. I'm pumped for X and Y .

I'm not sure how I feel about it affecting critical hit ratio, evasiveness etc. For competitive battling it would just be more stats to max out but what kind of effects will those maxed out stats have on the current game and are they really for the best? I definitely don't want the game to become too random.

 

It's pretty cool for the story's gameplay though. If it doesn't have an effect in wifi battles and so on, I support this.

I've just been staring at my Kalos region poster for the past few weeks, and I've come across a few little observations.

 

After observing these observations, I realized that the internet realized them alot sooner than I did. This map pretty much sums everything up.

 

 

 

 

 

Lots of god-damn caves, it seems.

[silverreverb 129]

Lots of god-damn caves, it seems.

well there are lot of famous caves in france, most with art and artifacts dating back to neanderthals. a nice history touch if you ask me 

[Twiliscael 3,960]

Yes, of course. France has /alot/ of history with cave paintings and prehistoric human activity and evidence there. Maybe they'll play off of that somehow, maybe with Pokemon history rather than human? Wishful thinking, but we can hope.

Dang, what a detailed map .

 

Well atleast its fun to make observations on your own time.

 

And this region looks quite huge.

 

Lots of caves for sure haha .

Possibly, i think caves can be cool, especially with cave paintings and stuff.

 

I kinda hope they have some kind of puzzle to do in them that leads to getting some legendary pokemon possibly hidden ones, and doesn't require an event .(Wishful thinking there though, oh well .)

 

They might use it who knows, it'd be cool.

 

Although the main theme of the game is apparently based on DNA or something akin to that it seems, with DNA in the X and Y cover art, and the Mega evolutions having the DNA symbol, and stuff.

 

Seems like thats where its going.

 

Hopefully whatever the story is based on it'll be interesting.

My guess is that by this point in time, people are beginning to understand more and more about the genetics, history, and just knowledge in general about Pokemon. From this point, they've learned how to "force" a Pokemon to evolve further into a mega and all that that entails. If this was the case, I'd bet that the villain team is opposed to this and wants Pokemon to be au naturale and untampered with by humans.

 

Wishful thinking much?

[silverreverb 129]

that would be nice. I was about to say that we don't get a lot of history, but then I remembered that each region has its own history. some more ancient than others /=|

 

it would be great if they gave us more than just the necessary tidbits to move the story along

Nobody really knows for sure yet, but there are going to be people who don't use Amie at all, so it wouldn't be fair for Tournaments anyway. I'm sure there will be options in PvP matches that will allow it's use though, like the Wonder Launcher.

And yeah. I'm pumped for X and Y .

I'm thinking it will to a degree. If your Pokemon trusts and loves you, then it will try harder in battle to make you proud. That's probably where some of the lines like "Chespin is in a bit of a pinch. It looks like it might cry..." come from, Chespin, or whoever it is, isn't sad because it's getting hurt, it's sad because it feels like its failing you. Do Pokemon REALLY get hurt when they're battling? If they do, why would they want to battle in the first place?

 

Certainly looks cool, I'll definately be using Amie. I wonder though, what if Amie is actually a critical point of the game? We're talking about genetics and DNA, what if you neglect to feed your Pokemon, will its health diminish, will it die? It seems a bit dark, but Pokemon has gone MUCH deeper, I'm sure Amie isn't there just because it is, there's more to it than that.

 

I'm happy the bottom screen will show your Pokemon though, they might not be walking with you, but Chespin rolling around is adorable, and I'm sure several hours of my play time will just be me watching him, lol!

 

I'm getting a 3DS in Septemer. I got my preorder in already. Gonna get it after work on Oct 12, I work until 1 AM, so I can just go to Electronics and pick it up then I'll be up all night!

 

I really don't know what version I'm getting though.... I know I want Chespin, but in X or Y...?

[Gamer_Luna27 77]

How many of you out there (including me) looked at the legendaries and chose which game to buy based on it? I chose X, because it's either an all-destructive dragon/flying type that looks like it has no off switch or a life giving stag. I don't know about you, but the last thing I want to give to my opponent's pokemon is more life

I knida just chose X because I like Blue more than red, haha. I never really cared much for legendaries though, that's just me.

 

Oh yeah:

I'm sooo happy right now! Now I just need to get another 3DS

[Mutemutt 773]

@,

 

For right now, I'm going with whichever version has Xerneas (which I think is X?) and my main reason for that is simply because it's a fairy type  . I'm not really too concerned with the legendaries, it's just that the other version exclusive pokes that have been shown so far haven't really swayed me one way or the other.

Possibly that sounds like a plausible story.

 

I dunno how well "Team Flare" goes with it, but its possible i suppose.

 

I hope the story is good though, I love B/w's story.

 

Who knows though.

 

that would be nice. I was about to say that we don't get a lot of history, but then I remembered that each region has its own history. some more ancient than others /=|

I like having backstory and history on the regions or even pokemon in general.

 

I like the extra stuff, and i also like secrets and stuff and puzzles you have to do to get legendary pokemon.

 

Kinda like the Regies in Pokemon emerald, or anything along those lines.

 

I just like secrets, especially since i've got more completionist in recent years.

 

Nobody really knows for sure yet, but there are going to be people who don't use Amie at all, so it wouldn't be fair for Tournaments anyway. I'm sure there will be options in PvP matches that will allow it's use though, like the Wonder Launcher.

I really don't know what version I'm getting though.... I know I want Chespin, but in X or Y...?

Yeah true, hope they have options to remove it or stuff like wonder launcher.

 

as far as the anime goes pokemon do get hurt battling, but idk i guess they enjoy battling i have no idea frankly.

 

The fact amie may run deeper is possible idk, it might just be a feature that they added for more interaction like Heart gold and soul silver.

 

I'll enjoy watching my pokemon be adorable regardless.

 

I'm getting a 3DS hopefully sometime this week.

 

As for the version i'm not totally sure, i kinda wanna go for Y for the legendary, but i think there will be a chance to get both, and i like some of the exclusives for X, so i might get it...

 

I'll have to decide within the week or whatever till i go buy a 3DS and preorder X or Y. Or atleast hopefully it won't be much longer then that.

I knida just chose X because I like Blue more than red, haha. I never really cared much for legendaries though, that's just me.

 

Oh yeah:

100_0087.JPG

I'm sooo happy right now! Now I just need to get another 3DS

Well, i suppose most of the time the other legendary is avaliable in post game or something so maybe it doesn't matter.

 

Maybe i'll get X instead of Y i'm not totally sure :/.

I got both of them though one of them isn't mine, the other is for my brother. as long as honedge isn't version exclusive, I don't care which one I end up playing

[Zygen 6,066]

i would've normally, but my brother doesn't wanna get a 3DS or pokemon X and Y, he doesn't seem that enthused about it, he doesn't seem to be one to like the newer gens much, of course he really doesn't play the games in general much anyways.

 

I love pokemon to much so yeah .

 

Of course, i don't think i can really fit a 3DS and both games effectively into my budget.

Yeah, I really hope it doesn't affect competitive play. Ingame for that stuff is definitely fine, but I don't want my Pokemon's moves to miss constantly or for my opponent to get consistent crits just because they played with their Pokemon more, way too broken.

Yeah, in competitive battling it should atleast have an option to turn it off

 

Ingame, it could be more interesting and stuff, but not so much online.

 

Plus it'd be found a way to cheat it to max anyways eventually.

 

Haha, i love that video xD.

[Zygen 6,066]

Ok, so i just bought myself a 3DS in anticipation for pokemon X and Y, aswell as for getting plenty other games i'm sure, and I pre ordered pokemon Y. So i have the poster in my room now, makes my room feel less empty and more personalized ;p. 

 

So far the 3DS is pretty cool i must say, I got cosmic black(I could've got purple, but i wasn't sure what shade it was so i didn't bother ;p.) and overall i quite like it so far, it has a really cool interface and I like how it feels, plus it has some cool features built in and stuff, and It looks like it has a promising library of stuff i will enjoy.

Of course, maybe its just i'm pretty easy to please.

Regardless i'm satisfied with my purchase ;p.

 

Can't wait for X and Y now...
