I have conflicted feelings about this...

This brings up a pretty good question.

I always thought the same thing. I would color code them.

I figure he has them memorized while theyre on hi's belt.

Like, you know, the actual balls in the games?
Timer Ball's Boukenger-like open animation
Safari Ball's camouflage deco
Dusk Ball's almost grenade-like design

Yeah, or just paint them to match the Pokémon held within.

Richie put stickers on hi's if i remember right.

They were all the same sticker, though, so it doesn't make much difference.

"Some more changes regarding types have been announced; Ghost types are no longer affected by moves that prevent fleeing such as Mean Look. Grass Pokémon can't be seeded or affected by moves such as SleepPowder or Stun Spore. Electric types can no longer be Paralysed"

That last fact has me getting an electric type.Also an advance hint to help you pick the fossil pokemon you want.

"Tyrunt is obtained with the Jaw Fossil and Amaura with the Sail Fossil"

Sail Fossil?

Yep, Amaura is definitely an Amargasaur.

I like that as well.

(Get a Luxray, because Luxray is awesome.)

I found this.

This makes me want to keep reseting the game so i can get a female Fennekin.

It doesn't make sense, though, since, while the graphic for paralysis is electricity, there's more ways to paralyze an opponent beyond actual electric type moves (Such as Stun Spore or Tri Attack).

I would just take a sharpie and write their names on each ball the minute I caught them.

I blame stock animation for that. :lol

Is anyone here planning on getting the X/Y 3DS that's being released? It's tempting me, but I don't know if it's better to pre order something like this or leave it up to chance.

Honestly,just trying to find a cheap 3ds.If worse comes to worse,2ds.

You'll probably never see one if you don't preorder.

I'm sorely tempted by it, but just can't be spending that much money when, even though it's got a little crack, I've got a fully functioning regular 3DS... :/

Can't afford another 3DS, plain and simple. My black one is boring as hell, but maybe I'll find a sticker or case or something to spice it up.

Unless you have direct access, or have good friends that do, I'd say pre-order. I was lucky enough to get one of the few Pikachu ones from work. And subsequently sold my old one.

I'd say sell/trade it in towards a new one. With a lot of people trying to find a cheap 3DS, I'm sure you could find a buyer. Depending on where the crack is, you should still be able to get a good $100 out of it. At least.

If you're going to go that route, try these, easily affordable.

I want it but like Matrix said, i can't afford it, that and i'm perfectly okay with the one i have now.

I don't have a 3DS period. Personally, I'd love to play the game, and a few other 3DS games, but there's only maybe 5 outside of X and Y that I want. And I'd rather use that money more towards a console with a lineup of games I can really sink my teeth into.

I already have a 3DS, so it's not like I absolutely need it but at the same time the one I have isn't a colour not too crazy about since it was the only one available at the time that I bought it. I wouldn't be opposed to replacing it since I had plans to buy a 2nd one at some point anyway.

I just saw the first TV commercial for X and Y, it felt so 90's.

I love that!

I spy with my little eye something that begins with MegaToise!!!

Yea that advert reminded me of the day of old Pokemon adds even the ones with drake bell in

Dat trailer...

Awesome trailer.

And new Japanese trailer!

...Wait, they gave Pikachu a voice in the games? Sweet,

This just came to mind but if the professor allows you to choose between the Kanto starters, and Froakie and co are given to you by your friend...

Does that mean that the "official" starters of Kalos are Charmander, Squirtle and Bulbasaur?

That would be interesting.

Ad and new trailer are sweet, I really can't get over how beautiful these games look.

Huh.Is it me or did anyone else notice in the new trailer that there's walking,running, and skating/rollerblading? Did they do the last to replace bikes?

Hopefully it's an alternative to running shoes. Primarily, Gen 4's permanent running shoes.

They finally put the skateboard that was originally gonna be in Gen 2? Sweet.

Skating,as in rollerskates.They showed them walking,then running,then skating/rollerblading in the video.And you could tell the skating.rollerblading was faster.

Running is the default with slower walking the alternative.

The skates would be a cool change from a bike, though.
