Also willing to bet that list isn't complete yet.

Updates to the update chart! Notable additions: Staraptor's special defense, Azumarril's special attack.

im so happy omg

Ooh, babies can inherit Poké Balls from their mothers.
Finally the type of ball the Pokémon is in won't be a give away to if it has egg moves or not.

I didn't want to get cold.

Maximum comfy achieved.
Postorder restored.

A woman in Lumiose's Boutique Couture mentioned there's a discount coupon for that store somewhere. Anyone know where it is?

>Receiving gift Pokemon still requires you to have room for it in your party
>STILL.

>>26863
Especially since they've shown they can implement the "your party is full. Make room for x?" thing when you get Xerneas. There is no reason the entire computer can't be on the bottom screen

I have a question for everyone. A serious question.

Why is it that, when arguing about which gen is the best, people pretend the new games don't ALSO have all of the improvements the old ones did?

Like someone will say that gen 4 is better than gen 5 because it did the physical/special split, but in gen 5 moves were also split into physical and special individually. Or, someone says gen 5 is better than gen 6 because it introduced infinite use TMs, but you can use TMs infinitely in gen 6, too. I actually saw someone say that gen 3 is the best because it introduced running.

Now this wouldn't bother me too much if people were talking about which gen had the best improvements. But when people say Ruby and Sapphire are better games than X and Y because you can run?

>>26865
Because they don't. For instance, (H)G/(S)S had an entire region as part of the after-game, day-based events, and the ability to bank some of your Pokedollars with your mom, all of which were things I greatly enjoyed.

D/P had the extremely useful Pokétch, but they got rid of that for B/W.

For actual battling or Pokemon stat adjustments, they will stick around (until they're adjusted again), so if that's all someone cares about then, yes, the games don't degrade in that area.

>>26865
>why do ... people pretend the new games don't ALSO have all of the improvements the old ones did?
Because they don't. See: Every single third game in a gen.

There are also things to consider such as difficulty curve, Pokemon selection, post-game, etc.
XY is fantastic; but its postgame is completely laughable.

Land's Wrath Ground Physical 90 100% 10
Earthquake Ground Physical 100 100% 10

What's up with Land's Wrath? They wouldn't make a legendary's signature move worse than a first generation attack that everyone and their mother gets, right?

>>26866
>>26867

Oops I undermined my point a bit with my wording. I don't mean actual legitimate problems people might have with missing features, like walking pokemon. I mean stuff that IS in later games, but that people pretend are not.

Like if gen 7 comes out and it has pokemon amie, there are people will still say that gen 6 is the best because it has pokemon amie. That's stupid, but it's going to happen, I guarantee it. And if gen 7 DOESN'T have pokamie people will instead just look back on it wistfully instead of upholding it as something gen 6 has over 7. It's all backwards! It's like only the improvements that are carried forward matter.

>>26864
The gift Pokemon in this case are usually given to you because they REALLY want them in your party. I don't think I'd really recommend the entire PC being available at all times.

Also in the case of people lauding improvements from one gen to another: in Gen IV the physical/special split was an exciting improvement. In Gen VI it's just expected. Gen IV there would be getting praised for moving the game forward, not necessarily the effects of the split itself.

So why does the 3D randomly start working in caves and shit?

>>26870
It's not about having your PC available at all times; if the Pokemon you catch in the wild are instantly transported to your PC, why can't Pokemon that someone gives you also be instantly stored?

>>26871
Because Gamefreak is too busy making Pikachu Side Game 37 and they know that fans will eat up X/Y even if they half-ass it. Admittedly, their half-ass is better than the full-ass of most, but still...

With some people talking about the already alluded-to 7th region I'm suddenly reminded of this image from a while back. What if the this new region isn't a new region at all, but merely southern Kalos? I know some people are hyped for ~secret new pokemon~ from a ~secret new region~, but this seems more likely.

>>26873
It does make a nice setup for B/W2-like expansion. And, the southern part of the Kalos map is very cloud-heavy, Nintendo's favorite way to hide as-yet-inaccessible areas.

Why does Rhyhorn control so terribly?

I'm happy

You son of a bitch

I love this game, but goddamn it the cameras angles are so fucking bad jesus christ. I get it, you wanna show off the pretty new 3d character models, but I need to actually see where I'm going

http://3ds.pokemon-gl.com/user/L-390-8033-W/timeline/27d0a430-3f2d-11e3-bed1-068eb584e58c?type=0&k=X_.9Y

I wonder if there were any problems with the development of this game. It's just far too conspicuous how big the gap between the first and second gym is compared to gyms 4, 5, and 6. It's also really weird how little the gym leaders and other important characters show up compared to black and white. I mean I only got to slightly past the 4th gym in those games but it seemed like, at the very least, I always met the gym leader before fighting them, there were events in every town, and I was just constantly being jumped by any of Cheren/Bianca/N for battles. I thought the game was going to be really long and interesting but after Gym 3 and Korrina it just kind of fell down and didn't really get up. Does it get better after the pokeball factory, at least? The pokeball factory was such a pathetic "dungeon" that it pretty much sapped any enthusiasm I had. Seriously even compared to Mt. Moon it's pathetic. Does it ever get back to gym 1-3 quality or should I just stop playing now?

>>26881
3D only works in some places.
Only 70 new pokemon.
Minimal postgame content.

Sounds like something was up with it. Maybe focus was shifted to the world detail and 3D designs.

>>26882
It does take a lot of work to make all those pokemon models.

>>26883
Yeah, I'm definitely thinking that the 2D-to-3D conversion process and so on is what ate up a ton of the budget. Hopefully now that they've got it set up future games will have more new content put into them. But it's Game Freak, what am I thinking.

>>26884
Yeah, Pokemon X2 and Y2 are going to be great.

>>26884

I hope that gamefreak doesn't use that as an excuse to use the same models for years and years without any real updates. That'd be pretty terrible, wouldn't it, MEGATEN?

>>26886
Honestly, the models are spot on.
Aside from some resolution improvement, I don't see what would need to be changed.

>>26885
If that happens, it will be what makes me give up Pokemon for forever.

>>26888
>being shocked for a third/ forth game in a gen when it has happened literally every single time for the past 5 gens
'kay

>>26889
I think he means the "both games getting a sequel instead of just a 3rd game" thing.

Yeah, third version is definitely Z.

But I do think we'll see a new set of games in 2015. Dunno if they're going to try something new since they're probably not remaking ruby and sapphire, or if they'll go straight to gen 7.

Remember when we thought Grey would be a thing?
The 3rd Dragon practically screamed grey.

>>26889
See >>26890

I'm actually interested in the potential for Z, and at this point it's 50/50 if I'll pick it up. But if they do X2/Y2 then I'm out for good.

>>26891
I would be interested in a Ruby/Sapphire remake, but only if they can cut down on how much fucking surfing you do in the second half of the game.

>>26893
Relevant.

>>26893
>I'm actually interested in the potential for Z ... But if they do X2/Y2 then I'm out for good.
What's the fucking difference?
You're still buying the same game more or less with added features that should have been in XY. The only difference is that one option has only one game that is more or less a feint re-imagining, and the second option has two and is a loose sequel to XY.

>>26894
>The trumpet silhouettes in the background.
10/10

Long shot, but any Halloween happenings in Pokemon?

Does this count as a happening?

I've never gotten shinies before now. Just got a shiny Charmeleon and two shiny Teddiursas from the Friend Safari. The two Teddiursas were from the same safari too.

>>26901
What are these? Fakemon or reskins?

>>26908
Hidden legendaries.

I think they're based on jewelry.
