• Hi all
    Just a notice, we recently discovered that someone got into a moderator account and started hard deleting a load of key and legacy threads...around 150 threads have been lost dating back to 2007 and some weeks ago so we can't roll the forums back.
    Luckily no personal data could be accessed by this moderator, and we've altered the permissions so hard deleting isn't possible in the future
    Sorry for any inconvenience with this and sorry for any lost posts.

Looks like a double battle against the two Admins to me.

I don't know where to ask this but can we expect the trial version to be available out of Japan or not ?

Currently theres no actual way of knowing. However, the official page/youtube channel usual updates with the info shortly after Coro Coro's street date so, we should get info in that regard at that point.

So the demo will be compatible with the full versions.

Genuinely shocked.

Why do i have the feeling the Mega Stone for whatever Pokemon is revealed in the demo may be exclusive to the demo.

That would be a pain. Though, they're yet to keep any MStone exclusive to one region, so I would expect to see it given an alternate distribution at some point in the games life. Assuming we dont get the demo in the west that is.

Considering it sounds like there's actual THINGS tied to the demo, I would be incredibly surprised if we didn't get it.
 
Well I hadn't been interested in the demo until this information came out. Now back to my original debate of whether to get a Japanese 3DS and not be able to afford the games immediately or not. (Insert stream of expletives here). I'm now really hoping they release the demo outside of Japan. I'm not sure whether to think they'll be showing off one of the Megas we've already heard of or if they're specifically holding one back for the demo. (Not counting whatever they hold back in general for the game itself).

I'm really hoping that whatever is available in the demo isn't exclusive to it or at least not to Japan.

well they said we'll be seeing a mega for the first time in the demo. unless they're being smart asses and throwing a mega we simply haven't used at us, then it means it's an all new mega. I'm wondering how many new megas they'll be giving us this time around. I'm betting the same amount as XY
 
I completely missed that line. I'd guess either one or two depending on the special thing they're hinting at for playing the demo every day. One we'll see in the demo and possibly one more as a prize for playing it. I don't know if they'd give away any more unless they're not giving some of the stones in-game and this is going to be the only way to get them (as others have mentioned).

Edit: misread your comment, too. I need to go to bed, lol. Anyway I'd actually been wondering how they're gonna divide up the X/Y stones (Charizard and Mewtwo) or if we're not going to get the XY stones in game. I'm guessing that around the same amount would be believable. To many would be overwhelming unless half became version exclusives.

What I expect for mega stones in this game is diving spots. Hoenn is FULL of water and I see GF using that to hide Mega Stones. In each dive spot I am sure there must be some mega stone!

So Rayquaza has something to do with Mega Evolution..Intriguing. Also the demo sounds great but I am going to be really upset if this is only japan. Don't let down the rest of the World Gamefreak

I hope to see the Battle Frontier selling mega stones for BPs though. IMO, that would be a fun way to go after the mega stones.

So let me get this straight. The demo happens at Mossdeep. Steven is involved in the demo in Mossdeep (in Emerald you could fight alongside him). There is a picture of Matt and Tabitha in a double battle against you (which indicates you might have to face both teams even if its one battle). So it looks like we are getting Emerald material

The narrative of the demo should not be assumed to be similar to the actual games' in any significant way. I am sure that we all remember the XY demo wherein Sycamore gifted you with a Mewtwo holding its Mega Stone?

Moreover, even Emerald does not feature a Double Battle against Matt and Tabitha.

I know it says that the scenario would be unique and will not reflect the actual storyline.
But still, I guess it's safe to assume that the scenario in the demo could be a little tribute to Emerald, minus Rayquaza of course.

Not sure if this is the right place to ask, but does anyone know what the part with the starters, poochyena, zigzagoon, wurmple and some of the other "early" pokemon is talking about? Just wondering and I can not read Japanese lol.

Magma/Aqua never battled together in Emerald.

They never did, but I think he's referring to the fact that both teams were villains in that game.
The tag battle between the two kinda represents that.

I suppose, but with the only other evidence being "it's in Mossdeep" and "Steven is in Mossdeep too," it seems quite a stretch to me to assume that it is a tribute to Emerald. If that is what the were going for, then... that's a very vague and superficial tribute, and I don't even really see the point in calling it one by then.

Yeah I was wondering the same thing but figured it may just be a demo feature to showcase the two teams within a single version of the demo rather than making a specific demo for OR and another demo for AS but I could be completely wrong.

I know you never fight both teams in Emerald, besides the scan looked as though Matt and Tabitha were in a cave. On to Steven, in Emerald he was in Mossdeep in the original R/S but he was never seen in front of the Space Center, unlike in Emerald where you team up with him and fight Team Magma in a double battle. But we'll see, I personally do think that in ORAS we will fight one of the teams at the Space Center exclusive to the respective games.
