Woah, some of this discussion is too in depth for me, I'll try to understand it. Anyway...

I'm happy to say that I scraped up enough money to get a 3ds as well as set some aside for X. October can't get here fast enough XD

You should be happy, a 3DS is great and I can almost guarantee that X/Y will be great too.

Well, I can't say I'm not looking forward to this! I am concerned about a few things, but I'm sure at the end of the day it'll still be the game I know and love.

 

The mega evolution thing is really cool, especially the Absol one, as I always thought she needed an evolution. However, I am worried about the fact that Torchic is the only starter getting this feature! The starters have always been equal. I never preferred Torchic, in fact, I never liked Blaziken too much. And now it is the only starter able to have this?! T'ain't fair. I hope the other starters get it too. Also, I never cared for Mewtwo, so I don't really care about this new form for it.

 

The fairy types? Eh, I'm okay with it I guess. I would have preferred a Light type, but whatevs. I'm just resigning myself to having to learn the strengths and weaknesses of a new type again, as well as relearning old Pokémon's types because they changed them around. Should make it interesting.

 

The Super Training thing? Um... alright?

 

Basically, my whole reaction to this is  :blink:  :blink: :blink:  :blink:  :blink:

 

Yeah, that about explains it.

 

Despite my worries, I really can't wait for this! Xerneas looks freaking awesome! Yvetal does too, but I really like Xerneas's design. :D

This isn't exactly true. CoroCoro said that they would be featuring more Mega Evolutions in next  month's issue. So the starters might be getting them, or at least some of them. I personally could care less that Blaziken was the only one so far but hat's just me.

 

 

Oh and to everyone, it's been confirmed that Fire resists Fairy.

Well, I do hope the rest of them get it too! Thanks for the information! If the rest of the starters do end up getting it, I can't wait to see what the rest of them look like. :D

The ability cheek pouches gives extra health when a berry is used, so you could get rested to full health and have extra health.   Actually nvm, unless your health you gain from it is restored you'd still have capped HP then use the chesto berry and get extra healthy after, leaving you with HP yet to be restored.
 

I don't think the ability increases your max HP. I think it just restores lost HP. I haven't seen the ability in action but everywhere I go I see others describe the ability as restoring HP.

Well, that's interesting. I wonder what the logic behind that is... if there is any.

I get the reason for fire's resistance sorta. Its probably just me who would get a weird reason why. I say its because of how fairies are viewed as docile and 'good', while fire is typically uncontrollable and considered 'bad'. HOWEVER, I could be wrong since that's just one version of what people call fairies. (Some myths believe that fairies are bad or dead people)

Just got caught up with the news for this...

Mega Evolution sounds really weird, the Pokemon evolves and then reverts after the battle is over? I don't know if I like it, and don't know how useful they'll be since they can only hold a Mega Stone/other item to do it, but we'll see.

And I guess that since Fennekin learns Psybeam it might turn out to be Fire/Psychic, which is very very good, I hope we never get a Fire/Fighting type starter ever again. :yay:

Yeah, even if there are a few things i'm not totally sure about, i'm sure it'll work out, and besides, i love pokemon to much to really be able to hate any of the games :P.

 

And i think that all the starters will get mega evolutions eventually.

 

While i prefer light type over fairy type, the name of a type isn't going to bother me that much at all frankly. It also means dragons will be a bit more balanced.

 

And i'm sure learning a new type won't be all that difficult, depending on how familiar you are with the current types. I know the current ones pretty much by the back of my hand almost.

 

Super training is for better EV training, and making it so you can see Ev's, it also makes it so it doesn't take forever to Ev train. Which is all good in my eyes.

 

I like both legendaries designs, i'm a bit more of a fan of dark types, since they're one of my favorite types, but maybe fairy type will warm up to me.

 

Regardless a way to get both legendaries will end up present anyways.

Hm, Fire resisting fairy? Sounds cool, i can kinda see the logic, i'm sure theres some really complex reasoning for it, like some of the other types, like Psychic and stuff.

Oh, well maybe i read it wrong, i kinda thought i saw it increased max Hp, but maybe i'm wrong. Could've misread it.

Yeah thats basically what happens on mega evolutions, theres like a command for it while your pokemon hold a megastone or something like that.

 

It does seem sorta crippling with your held item, but i think the buffs they get for using it will make up for it easily.

 

I'm more worried about it being OP then UP right now.

 

Yeah, guess so, which is what i was thinking, this just confirms it, which i'm also happy for and has basically sealed me into getting Fennekin now.

 

I know i normally get grass starters(Besides cyndaquil) but i'm getting Fennekin, its to cool to pass up.

 

And i agree, 3 fire/fighting starters is enough for the entire game really, unless we go to some crazy generation amount.

 

I won't exactly mind a fire fighting pokemon maybe, but definitely no more starters.

Well, I learned that there are super forms of what you can transform, but I'm still lost.

 

I think I need the ultimate pokemon nerd or fan to help me out on explaining the video game series.

Their called mega evolutions, but yeah, its basically a transformation for in battle.

 

And i'm not exactly the ultimate pokemon nerd, but i mean if you have questions i can try and answer, i don't know everything about pokemon, but i know a good bit.

Well, you think you can help me on general?

 

Like the gameplay, the mechanics, what to do, train, and accomplish?

 

As well as different types and stats of pokemons?

 

Sorry it that's a lot, it's just that I haven't catched up since G1, and that was 10 years ago.

I preordered X because Xerneas sounds more interesting to me than Yveltal.  I'll take Fennekin as my starter, because fire types are awesome.

 

I was going to pick Fenniken, but then the special torchic event was announced. I decided that I would get the torchic and get chespin as my starter. What's the point of having two fire types on one team? Just complicates things.

Here's a bit more for everyone:

 

-Animations

It seems like some Pokemon have fainting animations, though some just fall to the ground, others may do something quirky before falling over, it's a nice touch I guess. Further, the game does rely on manipulating the models in many cases, for example, Chespin's Wood Hammer at the PGS, which merely rotated Chespin before showing the attack animation.

 

-Battle Differences

If you have a strong bond with your Pokemon, battles will play out differently. This was shown at the PGS, but now at Gamescom as well, where we can actually read the text.

 

Here are several dialog changes: (In the video I linked, I'm starting at 1:51

"Go on, Chespin!

I know you can do it!"

 

"Chespin is awaiting Xavier's directions..."

 

"Chespin is in a bit of a pinch.

It looks like it might cry..."

 

"Come back, Chespin!

You did great out there!"

 

So yeah, if you build a bond with your Pokemon and make it happy, you'll get a different battle experience. Also, the Pokemon will turn to look at you occasionally, like before issuing commands, or when using an item. It's a really neat touch.

I think t was confirmed that you do in fact get the bike as well. And running is on by default, and you have to hold B to walk. And of course, you can ride certain pokemon.

I like that touch, fainting animations is always a nice little thing, its like back when they added animations for appearances at the beginning of battles.

 

Also the thing with differing actions and text with different friendship bonds is actually pretty cool. Another nice touch.

 

I like little touches like that :D.

@DXsilverX I have the first poster on my wall right now! :)

 

I'm very excited for X and Y. There are just so many things about this game that seem so damn awesome. X and Y seem so new and shiny! Playing X and Y hopefully will feel like playing Ruby and Sapphire for the first time. (Going from Silver/Gold to Ruby/Sapphire was amazing from what I can remember. The colors, the new features, it was just so awesome!)

I don't know for sure that the text differs, I can only assume it's based on happiness and personality (Why would Arceus cry?)

 It would be a nice touch though.

 

I know I saw a fainting animation for Chespin, it looked like he was trying to run away, but "trips," and falls before being returned to the ball. I think Pikachu just fell over, with no effect, so I don't know if ALL Pokemon are getting it, or just some.. hopefully all though.

 

One other thing, In one of the demos, they showed off playing with Chespin in Amie. The person tapped Chespin, and it counted as a "hit." If you remember Sonic Adventures Chao Gardens, it's like pressing the X button when the windows shows "Attack" instead of "Pick Up," or "Pet." So be careful not to Tap your Pokemon, lol.

I really need to go pre order X or Y. heck i might go buy my 3DS to, i think i have the cash for it to.

 

Gonna have to see if i can get my parents to bring me over.

 

I'm not gonna pre order both i don't think, well unless my brother wants one, or something, but i don't really think i'm gonna spend the money for both. As cool as it'd be to have the little timeline thing, i think i'll have to settle for the map poster.

 

But i do need to go preorder, before i no longer can.

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 :/.
