Indeed [the best, and worst, time of every new main game unveiling]. Lol.
I just had a random speculative thought actually, on the battle system:
What if the battle screen rotates [in some kinda 2D.5 of course, but still] whenever a turn is made - so the screen we have there in the CoroCoro batch has your pokemon attacking, but when it comes to the foes turn it does a small fancy notating motion over to the other side and we see them attack, or something.
Could be a simple [cheap] way of making the battles appear more 3D than they actually are [without any probable 3DS enhanced features in play]?
In order for that to really work, they'd probably need to have 3D sprites, which they don't appear to have. I mean, it could work if the Zorua sprite got bigger as it got closer to the screen, and about halfway through transitioning, the sprite flipped to it's backsprite. Same for Zoroark--the backsprite would get smaller as it moved until about halfway through the turn it flipped into it's normal sprite.
If it worked like that, it'd be really cool. I'd enjoy that.
oh damn i forgot about the 3DS perhaps BW could be a launch title for it?
3DS will be able to play it.
I'm getting tired of people thinking this game is slated for a 3DS release, though. The official site confirms it's for the DS--that isn't changing.
As for 3DS-only capabilities, I doubt it. It's possible, but I doubt it. If there are special capabilities, it'd probably be something minor--I don't expect graphical changes, although that would be really neat.
I may as well speculate a bit but looking at the screen shot of the city it looks like the map will transition from part too part when ever you move around (Like that road the trainer is standing near)
I hope so. I sure as hell hope that that small cluster of skyscrapers isn't the "city"--there had better be a lot more to it.
About the new starters being supposedly Dark/Psychic/Fighting
They could be Water/Dark Fire/Psychic and Grass/Fighting
(i say these combos as there are no Fire/Psy and no Grass/Fight, although there is 4 Water/Dark)
But please, NO MORE FIRE/FIGHTING!!
Breloom would like to kindly punch you in the face.
