Pokémon XY General Discussion

[Agonist]

It's in the one before the Kanto starters iirc (it's just a regular Gyarados, though).

 

[widget624]

Sorry, but I have no idea about this Gyarados you guys are talking about. What's the video in which it appears?

It was about the 14th minute mark of the Pokemon direct where they show off the already announced Mega Evolutions, as others have pointed out it was Mewtwo attacking Gyarados. Mewtwo is only visible for a fraction of a second which led to the confusion.

Branched évolution :

Bonsly evolves into Sudowoodoo or Orrotto ( with an item )

Nice.

That said clever pun aside Id rather this not be the case

 

[porneon]

I would not be surprised if the cause of delay in pokebank be a connection with Miiverse.
This feature will be only enable at late 2013 anyway... maybe this cloud storage should mean a connection with some other games, like a HD console version.

 

[Dr. Alex]

Three starters for an in-game run is overkill, we will utterly destroy every single gym with them, unless they make the games super hard.

Has it been confirmed that there will be a harder mode similar to BW 2? It would only make sense to have a hard mode, seeing as BW2 seem to have set up a precident for it.

If this is the case lets hope for a difficulty option from the start of the game.

 

[PME]

hard mode

But in all seriousness, I guess after all this time, they still haven't shown us what Froakie's move was (in the very first trailer, the proposed Close Combat). Though I'm still heads or tails about using the training facility, unless they show us an exact number for obtained EV's, I fear I might cap the EV in question at 255 without realizing it.

Challenge/Hard mode was among the best-received features of B2W2. It would be silly not to include it.

Then again, Secret Bases was among the best-received features of RSE, and walking Pokémon was among the best-received features of HGSS. If GameFreak is to follow a pattern, there will be no Challenge Mode.

Or there will be difficulty settings from the start, and secret bases, because obvious RSE remake is obvious? I can dream mon

 

[Gokuzbu]

And RSE contests were well received too and well - they ruined a good thing

 

[MegaBuddha]

Drizzle mega Gyarados. It was originally always depicted in a storm. So you'll be out surfing and sometimes you'll run into a hoard battle of 4 gyarados and a mego which will all use a combination dragon rage attack. I can dream right?

I think Drizzle Gyrados with boosted attack and speed would cause a lot of people to just quit the metagame.

 

[Sharkopath]

They probably wouldn't give us difficulty settings at the start of the game since they'd figure that some people might not prefer a challenge mode after all once they choose it.

You can always toggle it off

Where are you getting the notion that you can find MEvos in the wild?

No one is forcing you to use the starters in your team you know and the Kanto starters are probably given away late game from the looks of things. You can always opt for a nuzlocke run as well if it gets too easy lol

 

[DeathIncarnate501]

I thought you only got one of the Kanto starters anyway. That's what it looked like to me.

Pretty much this. I have no real interest in stacking my team with 3 starters just for a good FWG core. I want to use the Kalos Pokemon, fuck Kanto mons :P

 

[Wishy]

They need to include Challenge (and Easy too I guess) mode. It should become a staple of the series. But GameFreak has a habit of making certain cool features exclusive to certain games so...

 

[Green]

It would be cool if other ingame trainers used Mega pokemon.

Like the rival or the champion and certain post game trainers :D

Yeah cause what they did in B/W2 was terrible.

How so?

Lol I'm still working on b2.

 

[Stellar]

You only unlocked Easy/Challenge modes after defeating the Elite Four and you are not able to carry them over to a new game.

Also they were version exclusive, so if you wanted Challenge mode in White 2 you needed to know someone (locally) who had beaten Black 2 and gotten the key.
