Benji Posted April 26, 2013 Report Share Posted April 26, 2013 For anyone interested, the Pokémon TV app for Android is airing the TV show from episode one starting today. They add them five episodes per week, and they stay on for viewing for an additional week after that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Berober Posted April 26, 2013 Report Share Posted April 26, 2013 Awesome! We should have an EWB watch through each week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris2K Posted April 26, 2013 Report Share Posted April 26, 2013 I'd be up for an EWB watch for that too That Who's That Pokémon game is ridiculously addictive and making me very frustrated at myself when I get one wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benji Posted April 26, 2013 Report Share Posted April 26, 2013 I'd be up for it. Sticking in here, or shall we make a Movies & TV topic for it? EDIT: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benji Posted May 12, 2013 Report Share Posted May 12, 2013 Okay, am I really slow, or did anyone else never notice that hidden items still have a shadow, indicating where they are? http://www.imgur.com/RmPqsKV.png Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris2K Posted May 12, 2013 Report Share Posted May 12, 2013 NEWZ~! Pokémon X and Y will be the first core entries in the series to feature customisable trainers, it has been reported. Japanese publication CoroCoro magazine (via Serebii.net) broke the news and revealed four new Pokémon from the games, as well as fresh details. © CoroCoro CoroCoro feature on Pokemon X and Y Players will be able to alter their protagonist's physical appearance, adjusting hair colour and skin tone, but it is yet to be confirmed how deep these customisation options will go.The Pokémon are Gogohto, a grass-type which players can ride in the field; flying-type Yayakoma; a fighting-type panda called Yanchamu; and an electric-type lizard known as Elikiteru. Pokémon X and Y will be set within a new region dubbed Karos, which is said to be based on France and have a capital called Miare City. Announced during a Direct presentation by Nintendo president Satoru Iwata, the games will feature more than 50 new Pokémon and contain a system called "Real Play" that "makes it feel as if you are playing with other players around the world". I've never even thought about changing my characters appearance in Pokémon games, but if it's there I'll use it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benji Posted May 13, 2013 Report Share Posted May 13, 2013 I like the panda, but wish it wasn't a fighting type Bottom one looks like a Mawile pre-evo, but judging by typing, it's not. I like the look of the robin, might make use of that, haven't used an early flyer since Wingull. The deer I could give or take, but the idea that you can ride in the field is cool. Someone mentioned that they may be doing away with HMs and instead giving Pokémon held items (like a saddle for riding) in their place, which if true is awesome news.

The Mask of Norro Posted May 13, 2013 Report Share Posted May 13, 2013 Announced during a Direct presentation by Nintendo president Satoru Iwata, the games will feature more than 50 new Pokémon and contain a system called "Real Play" that "makes it feel as if you are playing with other players around the world". Please. For the love of God. Let this be something akin to or close to a pseudo-Pokemon MMO, or the first signs of one to come. I will annihilate my pants if that comes to be from this.

Benji Posted May 13, 2013 Report Share Posted May 13, 2013 "more than 50 new Pokémon" doesn't sound promising for the amount of newbies. This best not be another Sinnoh, where half the new ones are just evos or pre-evos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plubby Posted May 13, 2013 Report Share Posted May 13, 2013 I really liked Sinnoh, and there are some gaps that i'd love to see evos/pre-evos in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benji Posted May 13, 2013 Report Share Posted May 13, 2013 Sinnoh region was cool, the lack of genuinely new Pokémon wasn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plubby Posted May 13, 2013 Report Share Posted May 13, 2013 Well that's a cop-out argument. Like, is Piplup "genuinely new" or is it just the "Gen 4 Squirtle"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benji Posted May 13, 2013 Report Share Posted May 13, 2013 I literally just said a few posts ago that it was because so many were pre-evo or evo :-/ For some stats - of 107 Pokémon introduced, this generation had more evolutions of existing Pokémon than any other gen. 14 of those were new legendaries (again, more than any other gen).

Plubby Posted May 13, 2013 Report Share Posted May 13, 2013 It was your double-reinforcement of "Genuinely new" that made me think there were two levels of new pokemon you were referring to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCO Posted May 13, 2013 Report Share Posted May 13, 2013 Has there been any confirmation on the starter types? I'd like for them to mix it up with those instead of going fire/grass/water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thatblindgeye Posted May 13, 2013 Report Share Posted May 13, 2013 Pretty sure it is the same Fire/Grass/Water thing. It would be interesting to see something new, but I don't mind it being the same every generation. I believe the goat can only be ridden on in the main city (Miare or something?). Still, will be interesting for that to be a more prominent feature in future games. It will suck if a significant amount of the Pokemon in Gen VI are pre-evolutions of past Pokemon, because I honestly couldn't care less about a lot of the pre-evos introduced from previous generations and doubt I will now. I really don't need to see a pre-evolution for Pinsir or Durant or something, unless the pre-evolution also brings in a branching, second evolution chain. Some Pokemon would be interesting to have evolutions for (Mawile as an example), but I don't want there to be too many of those. Considering Gen II brought 100, Gen III 135, Gen IV 107, and Gen V 156 new Pokemon, I would be surprised if Gen VI didn't bring in at least 100 new Pokemon. Still, I'm looking forward to the games and can't wait to find out some version exclusives. Currently have X on pre-order, only because a friend wants Y, but it will depend what exclusives there are. Really love the sound of the new Pokemon revealed, exception being the Normal/Electric lizard thing. Hopefully that has an evolution, because I don't much care for the typing. The Fighting panda will be nice, since it could be another bear to go with Ursaring and Beartic, the Robin will be interesting if it evolves into Fire/Flying (due to being able to learn Flame Charge), and the goat looks really nice. Wouldn't be surprised to see it evolve into a Dark/Grass due to the coloring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
