Most people just call it Z instead of getting into a discussion/argument every time about whether or not it'll be Z, X/Y2 XZ/YZ or whatever else they might come up with.

I think going back to a slightly upgraded version would be too much of a step back after Black/White 2, but I also don't think we need two different versions again. So Z is the most logical choice. Then again, the pronunciation differences across countries might make that awkward :lol

"It's Zed you hoser!" :lol

2Bornot2B?

W version, you dummies.

Perhaps.

"Too much water"
"Too many HMs"
I think IGN needs better reviewers. :|

...Youve got to be kidding me.

It's like complaining about spending a half hour traversing across the seas in Windwaker.
As in fucking tedious.

It's a valid complaint.

I still find it funny how the originals were higher in reviews than the remakes.

The originals also had
-Too much water and it was slower and more annoying
-Too many HMs
-Unable to connect with previous games
-One of the worst post games(Only Battle Tower, Rayquaza and a Trick House course IIRC)

But of course it's only rated higher because of the hype Pokemon had back then and those were the games where the hype began to decline.


EDIT: Also, Hoopa's new forme looks awesome up close!

Yes it does, that looks awesome!

I agree.

but too many HMs I don't think is, and if that's the only other major complaint you have, then the game, I'm sure is just fine.

True, but that was 12 Years ago. The standard for Pokemon is significantly higher now then it was then.

I think 7.8 is a good score.

Pokémon Bank has an update out now.

You know what's the thing i hate the most in Gen 3? By the time you get Agronn it's like 75% water types, ergo it's really hard.


I'm assuming it's for PRAS compatibility?

I forgot about this.

If I don't pick Mudkip, I might just run one, now~

Ooh, what is it?

Huh? Pelistorm?

Hell yeah~

How about this?

Allows Pokémon Bank to be compatible with ORAS. That's all we know so far since the patch notes are yet to be released.

It'll do.

Battle Frontier is completely deconfirmed, although I suspect most sensible people had already worked this out.

Firstly we've had reviewers mention lack of post game content, but more damningly several reviewers have tweeted about the lack of Battle Frontier but have had to pull their tweets down due to embargo. Battle Resort is a 2nd Daycare, Battle Tower and Battle Maison.

A bit sad, really...

I don't see it as a big loss, the battle frontier was a living hell.

I loved it, it was really challenging bit that's what made it great for post-game. Extra motivation for EV Training! Apparently a lot of NPCs mention it, but I don't think that necessarily implies DLC like the reviewer thinks.

I dunno, I'm just a bit disappointed by the slowly growing amount of nixed features. Serebii also mentioned in a tweet that there's no hidden Megas.

The Battle Frontier's exclusion is a huge loss.

The absolute lack of a post-game sucked in RS and it really freaking sucked in XY. Now there's none in ORAS still. Something to actually do after beating the game is a pretty important factor.

You guys are forgetting Delta Episode which IS a Post game event. :|

I doubt it'll be very long. Definitely won't consume hours like the BF did.


People have also mined the Pokebank update. DEFINITELY no new Megas.

you know despite all of this complaining, people are still going to buy the games. And at least the game won't be as buggy as some other recent releases *cough*assassinscreedunity*cough*

Blaziken doesn't get Ice Punch by level up like people thought, so some of the Move Tutors from the demo leak could change.

I hate RS and I'm going to buy it.
Unless it gets a score of, like, 3/10, then people will typically still buy it.

Looks like the Lati@site can be transferred between ORAS and X&Y.

Well it is programmed in XY so it makes sense.

Did anyone else preorder the game from Walmart for the figures? I've never preordered from them before.

Well i had it pre order at Toys R us so i really couldn't be bothered to go pre order it at a different store, but when i went i didn't see any advertisement for pre orders.

I probably would have pre-ordered there, but I had a GameStop card with a solid $30 on it lol

They're the ones giving out the mega Charizard plush, right?

Nice, I've just been a fan of the figures that have came with past games and was holding out on my preorder to see if they would be a bonus somewhere in the US.

Yes, yes they are.

Wait I missed out on a free plushie!? Damn it...

Not really free. I'm pretty sure you had to preorder both copies.
