Pokemon X & Y (3DS)

not terribly worried about it but yeah, something like pokemon stadium style feedback wouldve been cool

**Karbuncle** · 2013-05-18 15:34

IDK why they couldn't have improved/used some of the frame-work from Stadium from older enemies, But i can see how making like, 700 Different "Taking damage" and "Attacking" animations for the pokemon might of been an undertaking for a 3DS Game... IDK if any other game on the 3DS has that much ... "information" in it? my limited knowledge of 3DS games shows.

I would wager that's probably more the issue than any lack of wanting to do it. Having a unique model with unique animations for every attack for nearly every Pokemon in the game would undoubtedly eat up a huge chunk of the cartridge, especially with everything off of a flat plane.

I think I just found a reason other than KH:3D to buy a 3DS.
WTF to do with this Vita now...

It makes for a pretty good device to browse the web/watch youtube/watch netflix if you don't have/want to hold up a tablet. also soul sacrifice.

**Tyrath** · 2013-05-20 09:06

Soul Sacrifice
Gravity Rush
Uncharted

Not much else going on there though. No one says you can't have 2 handhelds lol hopefully one day Vita will have more games.

Updating.

Fairy types (basically light) confirmed.

**Tyrath** · 2013-06-11 10:45

Assuming they will be weak to Dark then.

Super Effective against Dragons, I guess that had to happen.

**Rocl** · 2013-06-11 11:42

[12:21:59] Akiyama: hearing -Super Effective Against Dragon/Dark/Fighting-Not Very Effective Against Fire/Psychic-Weak To Poison/Steel-Immune To Dragon

if that is true it's ridiculous

**Not Kuno** · 2013-06-11 11:46

Oh god was I right to the dragon immunity and poison weakness? Ahahahaha

So basically they stuff Outrage switching in and give Poison-types more reasons to be. Now all they need to do is kick Stealth Rock in the balls and we might see some more interesting matchups.

**Serra** · 2013-06-11 13:38

Immune to dragon? O.o

**Odin'sLaw** · 2013-06-11 13:49

Shit just got real D:

**Akiyama** · 2013-06-11 13:54

That's IF IT'S TRUE. I'm not 100% certain, but from what I'm hearing.. it could be the way it is.

**6souls** · 2013-06-11 15:14

**Akiyama** · 2013-06-11 15:45

Some unconfirmed stuff, but stuff that came from the same guy who called the Fairy type and what not.

http://pokebeach.com/2013/05/suppose...er-information

Facilities to check EVs, mini games to max them out in a couple hours (oh god this would be outstanding).. the end game starter types, etc. Good stuff if true.

**Odin'sLaw** · 2013-06-11 16:06

still picking the grass starter think its only our 2nd grass/dark type but same as always. Fire > Grass > Water > Fire, Psychic > Fighting > Dark > Psychic

(Final forms can still be super effective vs the other starters)

**Serra** · 2013-06-11 16:15

Fire/Psychic, (Yes, Please)!!

Would be so happy to not have another fire/fighting.

And that EV stuff sounds awesome. Would love if they included an easier way to remove EVs too..

Pokemon X and Y has horde and sky battles, player search

Nintendo detailed a new communication system for Pokemon X and Y during a developer round-table at E3 today.

The “Player Search System” allows players to connect, battle, and trade with other players nearby and around the world. It will make it easy to find other people playing Pokemon X and Y, whether they’re near you or on the other side of the world. With the feature switched on, players will be alerted when someone nearby is playing, and give you the option to battle or trade with them wirelessly. Using a Wi-Fi connection, players will be able to do the same with other players all over the world.

A new type of battle was also revealed. “Horde Encounters” pits one of the player’s Pokemon against multiple wild Pokemon that all attack at once. To come out the victor in such battles, players should make sure their Pokemon has moves that can attack multiple enemies at once.

Another new type of battle is “Sky Battles.” Certain trainers will challenge you to these matches, which take place high in the sky. You might encounter a trainer on the edge of a cliff that wants to challenge you to a Sky Battle. If you have a Pokemon with the ability to fly, you’ll be able to.

Nintendo also revealed three more new Pokemon, in addition to those revealed this morning:

Talonflame - An evolved form of the recently announced Fletchling, this is a Fire- and Flying-type Pokémon that gains a whole new level of speed and firepower. Reaching speeds of up to 310 mph when diving for its prey, Talonflame can attack its foes with devastating kicks while embers spew from its body as it zooms through the sky. Talonflame knows Brave Bird, one of the strongest Flying-type moves. Use Brave Bird carefully, though, because the incredible strength of this move also does damage to the user.
Clauncher - This Water Gun Pokémon uses its one oversized claw not only to seize prey but also to shoot condensed water at others as a projectile. This capability is so intense that it can crack a boulder! A Water-type Pokémon, Clauncher can also use its giant claw to crush opponents with the powerful Water-type move Crabhammer, which is more likely to land a critical hit. Critical hits against opposing Pokémon will do twice the usual damage.
Skrelp - Some would say that this Poison- and Water-type Pokémon appears to be nothing more than a rotting piece of kelp, but don’t let its appearance fool you. Using its unique look to its benefit, Skrelp pretends to be a piece of seaweed, and when prey wander past it, Skrelp bathes them in poison so they can’t struggle when it attacks. Skrelp uses the Poison-type move Sludge Bomb, a move that can leave opposing Pokémon poisoned. A poisoned Pokémon will slowly take damage over the length of a battle.

Finally, the company revealed the game will be playable in seven different languages: English, Japanese, French, Italian, German, Korean, or Spanish.
