Literally thirty seconds ago. More updates will be posted here when new information is received!

What are you hoping to see from this new Gen? Type combos, moves or storyline?

[Xaqwais]

Froakie the best.

Dat fire starter.

That thing is so adorable....

 

[Tayla]

Gonna be really weird switching to a 3D overworld. Also, no more sprites. The bird thingy looked amazing though.

 

[Sciztar]

Watch I bet the Fire starter will end up being a Fire/Psychic. It looks similar to Nientales and Vulpix. The Water starter will end up being a Water / Fighting type. The Grass will probably be something stupid like Grass/Flying

 

[Bologo]

Holy shit, the full 3D graphics look absolutely amazing. I'm impressed.

On a side note, I'm happy that it doesn't look like we're getting another Fire/Fighting starter. That shit got old really fast.

 

[Shame That]

3D world? I think wild encounters will just feel unnatural 0.o I personally hated the way XD played, it didn't feel like Pokémon at all...

 

[RODAN]

froakie................

 

[Steamroll]

Froakie totally has that Dr. Emmet Brown shit going on, maybe it can time travel?

 

[SgtWoodsy]

Fennekin appears to be Fire/Psychic.

 

[Deck Knight]

Pokemon in 3D on a handheld? Awesome.

Starters look pretty good. Legendary Deer reminds me of this CAP Entry from Cartoons!:

Gen VI already. Looks like we have a lot more Rain banning to look forward to :D

Nevermind the new mons, the gameplay alone looks sweet enough to pick it up.

 

[Molk]

Looking closely at the video it looks like Froakie is using a move similar to spark, im betting on water/electric for him.

Agreeing on fennekin being psychic, it used a psychic type move in the announcement and generally looks like a pokemon that would end up being a psychic type.

Chespin i dont know, im betting on mono grass tbh, although some people have speculated Grass/Fighting.

the flying-type legend looks really cool btw, im going to bet on dark/flying, and the deer being something like Water/Psychic.

 

[Sciztar]

I would give the deer, grass and dark. I don't know why

 

[Improbability]

He's water/ice. Like, that move was all icy. And froakie, with the fro being as in the frost?

 

[Robert]

the first legend looks awesome.

Hide

 

[Nosferalto]

In on 90 page thread

3d is gonna be more than awesome

 

[elcheeso]

I'm really glad this wasn't the dud announcement that some people were predicting it would be. Bird legendary, too awesome... the elk probably would've been a bit more appealing to me if it looked bulkier, seemed to skinny for the most part. I wonder if we're going to see realistic pokemon sizes in battles, like... joltik vs wailord or something. I guess they're going to have to scale them up/down to some degree, heh.

Fro as in Frog.....

 

[Improbability]

Fro as in Frog.....

I'm going to try and save face here and predict a clever pun by Game Freak.

 

[Rewer]

so no R/S remakes it seems; disappoint.

 

[az]

FUCK I CAME HERE TO LINK THIS

 

[UltiMario]

Well, didn't see it coming to be honest. Shortest generation ever.

Well, at least I can be assured that there's not that long until Gen V metagame is over.

 

[Pernicious]

Why can't we have a mainstream pokemon game on the wii? We have the technology. I'm sick of handhelds, and DP was 3D-ish already. I guess this is a next step...so please, Nintendo, can the game after this be for the WiiU? (With an R/S remake in between ^.^)

I like these threads because they seem to unite everyone in excitement.

 

[Jebus McAzn]

i'm finally one of the first to make gifs on this kind of thing (but really look at how majestic they are)
