I wonder if there might be another "livestream" planned possibly unveiling the zone the which two games are supposed to be located.
And, I agree with the whole basing Pokéon in their looks. Finally we will have to play to judge them, instead of seeing the stats and everything online first. Looking forward to it!
If there's a new Eevelution (very likely since Nintendo tends to introduce a new evolution on even numbered generations), which types you think they would introduce to us? The new pairs tend to have an opposite thing going on. Espeon weak against Umbreon, Leafeon weak against Glaceon.
I can't wait to get the game. I currently caught 624 pokemon on my White 2 game. So close to finishing the dex! With this new game, I'll have to start all over again, but to catch over 700 pokemon. It sounds hard, but I'll have fun with that. Can't wait! Hope the new game has a Safari zone, or something equivalent to it.
THIS! I completely agree! I used to be big into competitive battling, but it really sucks the fun out of what Pokemon is. You're supposed to chose your favorites and battle with those, not battle using the same top 50 pokes (or UU if you're a rebel). I remember when Hyper Beam was cool just because it was "that move" or when people loved using starters even if there move pools were shallow or when it was cool to throw out Aggron without caring that the fighting type rapes it. Now Pokemon is just numbers, and it shouldn't be. It should be about using the six pokemon that you think look the toughest or the coolest or the prettiest or the cutest. Maybe you just caught a pokemon for it to be your HM slave at first (please get rid of those) but it grew on you. THAT'S what pokemon is. Long live Hyper Beam!
I think its because localization is now done by tpc along wth gf.
before it used to done by Nob after the Japanese release.
A 7-day (maximum, I'm mainly thinking this will be released like a music album) gap between countries won't really ruin anything for me.Sorry if this was mentioned before, but isn't it likely that the release dates will be staggered over a week or so in different countries? It can all be in October, but some places will probably get the games on a Friday, then a Sunday, etc.
I'm saying this because some speedrunners and hackers from the country that gets it first can leak quite a bit of information before many other people start their files. I want to see how much information is out there other than the official strategy guides once X and Y are released in a given country. I know Bulbapedia takes a while to update the most miniscule information, such as the exact percentage of Pokemon appearances on a given route, or where some minor item is found. I remember that new Pokemon stats also weren't updated immediately. It'll still be interesting to play knowing so little.

yes it could be. but they have not said yet.. we'll have to see if it's just the same month or the same day... but it beats waiting months after japan.
There's certainly a lot more translating needed for a book than a game...
Move names, Pokemon names, item names, location names, people names, crapton of NPC dialogue, system messages, approval by ESRB, applying it to multiregional 3DSs...
Yeah, not necessarily.
Don't underestimate the amount of words in a 700+ page single spaced book. But either way this doesn't really matter because I think that they could pull off releasing the games worldwide on the same day. This could just be me reading into it too much, but the fact that the trailer showed a list of the starter names in so many different languages makes it seem like it's going to be one giant release instead of a bunch of mini releases within a big release.
