I'm so excited for this game but I HOPE for the love of Arceus that they make the world full-3D (akin to Mystery Dungeon GtI and PokeDex 3D) instead of cell-shading. The cell-shading still looks so childish, full 3D would be so beautiful~

I take offense. What's so childish about Cel-shading, huh?

Complaining about cel shading has been a cliche since the Legend of Zelda The Wind Waker. Please don't act like it's still the worst thing ever.

But the 3D point made me think carefully about the game. You know what I want? The 3D to be more than a change of camera angle. Make the most of th 3D world and view, don't make it just like the older games/everything mostly flat except with a behind the main character viewpoint. Make buildings and terrain actually fully 3D objects that you can see all sides of. Have the world more interesting and dynamic than that from the last games.

I just hope the battles aren't slow just because they're the first games on the 3DS. I hate how slow diamond and pearl were! The battles better stay as fast as they are in B/W2.

Let's hope so! That was my biggest gripe with Diamond and Pearl.

Looks legit.

That looks like Corocoro. I think on GoNintendo they said they were teasing something for this week. Announcing a few new Pokemon and maybe some Gym leaders sounds about right. Those shots look official. The logo's matchup with what Nintendo showed on the 7th. Still I am going to being Serebii for more scans.

Welp, upon checking the Serebii forums they appear to be fakes.
...
Oh boy. We're in fake season again.

Yeah, no pokemon news site has posted them. They're fake. Pretty sure CoroCoro scans don't leak out THIS early either.

Yep. 1000% Fake.

We're getting close to a month since the announcement. I hope Gamefreak reveals SOMETHING more. I'm getting restless.

Why would A) anybody do up a work and then claim someone else did it, and B) why would anyone believe it, when it was he submitted it to his gallery?

...unless he was completeky joking and never figured anyone would take it seriously? I guess that's possible. I mean, if it was real, he'd be in big trouble for submitting it to his gallery.

Read the comments. He openly says he and a few others made it, and it's fake.

Well thats never good. And the waiting game begins again.

Well no worries guys. It's February, so in about a week we should have some official leaks from CoroCoro which should really give us SOME new information. I hope we get at least one new Pokemon. Please. At least one new Pokemon a month until release still leaves plenty of surprises for when the game comes out!

As for that new mechanic Masuda said will be introduced in this game, I just had a thought! What if it's like the pair system in Fire Emblem? "The more you battle together, the stronger your bonds will become." What if that means the more you pair up two specific Pokemon in a double battle they become closer and get a boost in a stat when sent out together. That'd be cool and adds a new demension to the strategy.

^Actually, that would be very limiting and/or grindy. I really hope they don't do that...

i wouldn't mind that......that's my favorite thing about the new Fire Emblem game.

And the fakes just keep rolling in!

Those are still really cool though.

How do people come with and make this stuff?!
(And don't say the obvious answer to that)
