I never expected it to be super deep and complex, and Harada said it would be more simplified. I don't think it looks like a one button fighter. To me it looks like a weird blend of Gundam Extreme Vs and Tekken. Also, all we're seeing here are visuals; no one has yet said anything about how it plays.

That's not correct, we don't have all of it, but we did get some Gameplay-facts with the livestream.

Other than that I think I know fighting games enough to determine if I like them or not based on how they are played.

For one thing, in the trailer it looked like the camera is fixed in a 2D-plane but the world and characters are 3D and they can sidestep out and in the 3D-plane. You know, like in Tekken? And it actually looked like a fighting game there. With the new gameplay, it looks like one of these awful 3D-mashers where everything is about spamming as much projectiles as possible to win.

Maybe the word "serious" wasn’t what I looked for, I meant a game that plays casually but offers a base for strategic players. And this looks nothing like it.

I love how Shiny Tyrantrum's color scheme is similar to Gozyujin/Q-Rex. I might try and breed a Shiny one once the HA Tyrunt's are given out and name it Gozyu Rex.

Why isn't there a Dragon-type version of Crunch? It just seems like something a Dragon would do: Bite the hell of of stuff.

There is, it's called: Ice Fang. :p It may not be dragon typed but it's still effective. :lol

I can't decide which starter to get for the Unova distribution. I'd want a Serperior, but I managed to get a Contrary Snivy so that's not so useful anymore.

Also, when can I finally get my Minccino Mirage Spot? :D

Its still good since i think its gender locked to be a girl. Females are guranteed to pass down the hidden ability i believe

It's clearly not. The camera is, almost at all times, locked in the same "Cinematic" angles as in the newer gameplay footage. It's less dynamic and more restrained, but the footage rarely resembles the fixed angle a la Tekken.

Oh, that's excellent, thanks for that tip!

But I'm not sure I'm willing to try an 87.5% male breeding thing again, that Eevee gave me nightmares. T__T

I know how you feel. I had to breed a Female Torchic with Speed Boost so that I could get a Baton Pass + Speed Boost Blaziken. It took forever to get it.

Yeah... Still can't beat Rotation battles in the Maison.

Reckless Emboar is now live for the US and has been for Europe since this morning. Use POKEMON500 to get him.

Granted, I have every Pokémon Shiny on Omega Ruby (Minus the Shiny-locked Legendaries), but hey, it's an event Pokémon. I'll take it. In fact, I got both event Serperior and Emboar so waiting for Samurott.

Imma go get this.

...Oh hey a girl playing a Fighter...

AWESOME!

Anyone else having issues with the samurott code?

Hidden ability Johto starters when you start up Pokemon bank on February 27th - November 30th!

They keep them coming, that's great! Still have a membership running so I should get these.

Shame none of these are really interesting though. Sheer Force Feraligatr maybe.

Good thing i already have the bank then

I have my bank subscription until about a month from now so i'll totally get them.

Ok, seriously, anyone else at all having issues with the Samurott DLC?

Yes. :(

Someone on Youtube uploaded an update about it, I'm guessing that they might just be having region lock issues with this DLC currently, that's probably the only logical reason.

Thanks for the update! Will pick em up one of these days, and make use of my Bank account.

Currently re-doing EV training for the Gallade that I got on Pokemon X via GTS, been trying to get a Pokemon that doesn't have HP as its highest EV.

Love Gallade, he's my "team leader" right now. :D

Why am I not surprised :lol?

Our two team leaders should get together sometime. :lol

Seems pretty obvious, isn't it? :lol

They should! How?

My Godoka, this new opening for Pokémon the series XY!
https://youtube.com/watch?v=pX9yPHssDns

That was pretty darn cool.

Have you seen the new opening for XY?! The Japanese one. It's amazing! :D

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8eykFj_nGVo

It reminds me of Pokemon Advanced's opening

I just started a Nuzlocke on Platinum and I'm planning on doing one on Soul Silver, White and White 2 also.

So far the Pokemon I've gotten are.

Piplup-Starter
Starly-Route 201
Bidoof-Lake Verity(Killed it with a crit from Piplup)
Kricketot- Route 202
Shinx- Route 204
Abra- Route 203(Was holding a Twistedspoon and has a SpAtk boosting nature)
Geodude- Oreburgh Gate
Machop- Route 207
Zubat- Oreburgh Mine

I have a rule where I can't catch a Pokemon I already have unless it has already died.


I just beat Roark and I surprisingly almost lost to him. My Machop was OHKOed by Cranidos' Headbutt with a critical hit. Then my Piplup kept getting flinched by Headbutt and I luckily got to hit a torrent boosted bubble with Piplup and took out Cranidos. Roark's Onix almost beat me because I would've only had Abra, Shinx and Starly left had Piplup died. Thankfully, Piplup survived with 5HP from a Rock Throw and took out Onix with Bubble.

Pokemon Lost in Battle
Machop lvl11

Team Stats
Piplup lvl14
Shinx lvl11
Starly lvl11
Abra lvl5

Nuzlockes are intense. You're lucky to have caught that Abra.

Damn Abra's... always using Teleport. :lol

Yeah, but sadly Kadabra was killed by Gardenia's Roserade. It was OHKOed by Grass Knot >_>

Hidden Ability Samurott event is finally online.

Enter "POKEMON503" to get yours.

Already done that last night, my Contrary Serperior has 242 speed, my Reckless Emboar has 209 HP & Physical Attack & now I just gotta get my Shell Armor Samurott's stats fixed to my preferred levels & I'm set :lol.

I'll be sure to get that Samurott first thing in the morning.
