Pokémon VG Megathread

[Regulith]

Will other Pokemon have cries that don't sound like noises emulated on a machine?

Pikachu, Crobat, and Mewtwo were the only Pokemon that appeared in the demo that had altered cries, but it's almost certain that there will be more

You can see someone playing the demo of Y here; they encounter a Pikachu and Litleo, ride a Skiddo, rollerblade around, and fight Professor Sycamore's Crobat with a Mega Mewtwo

Still not for Black 1/White 1, right?

no

apparently so according to serebii, can't imagine why

The Pokemon Company has recently filed two mysterious trademarks: Pokkén Fighters and Pokkén Tournament in the United States and ポッ拳 (literally "Pop Fist") in Japan. Nothing it known about them besides the names, but it could coincide with the strange footage shown briefly at the end of the history of Pokemon video at the Pokemon Game Show.

no

apparently so according to serebii, can't imagine why

Because people like me couldn't be bothered to fork $35 for what was essentially a redone version of the game I had already recently bought. I know it takes place afterward and all that, but considering previous games, the concept wasn't appealing for the money.

Gamescom began today and has English versions of the X&Y demos previously shown at the Pokemon Game Show, footage here. The demos will also be playable at PAX Prime.

Pokemon Amie, the new interaction minigame in X&Y, is now confirmed to affect battles. The following things are known to change depending on how much you use Pokemon Amie with a Pokemon:

- Battle text: Text when you send out your Pokemon and various other messages
- Critical hit ratio
- Evasion

The ability to self-cure paralysis or endure an otherwise fatal hit are also suspected due to events in the demo but cannot be confirmed.

I hope I'm not the only one who brings my DS to these stores and parks in front just to use their wifi in my car so I don't look like an adult jackass walking into a store with a DS in my hands.

I went to the one by my house with my cousins, ages 11 and 13, who are really into Pokemon

The signal doesn't reach the street, probably on purpose
