Topic: Pokémon Sun & Moon - Discussion & Speculation

Lol that is hilarious.

Indeed. Amazing

Anyone else disappointed, but not surprised? Where is the New 3DS love at Gamefreak?!

i wonder what this Pokemon special is going to be about today.

How many times do we need to give them critical feedback on the same thing until they actually try and change it?

@Pokefanmum82 Most likely the E3 Pokemon reveal stuff, just shown again. They have a habit of doing that a lot... the trolls.

Anyone know where to watch the Pokemon Special? It's not that NicoNico stream is it?

@ThomasBW84 (assuming you've woken up) NL isn't doing a stream, is it (assuming it's not the NicoNico one)?

looks like you are right. right now they are showing the playthrough again

@DarthNocturnal Thanks, I eventually found it, and managed to watch it for for about 15 minutes before being booted out for not being a 'Premium Member'. Really not a fan of that aspect on NicoNico, but hey.

EDIT: Somehow managed to get back on. Rotom Pokedex being discussed.

EDIT2: Just finished. As was stated, nothing new was announced. There were brief bits of 'back and forth' between the comments and the presenters, but after getting kicking out for not being a premium member, I was able to return without access to the comments, so missed out on that for the most part. I think the most interesting revelation was that Yungoos's resemblance to Donald Trump wasn't lost on the Japanese audience.

Anyway, yeah. Basically an E3 Pokemon recap, in Japanese. But it marks the last Nintendo thing from the halls of E3, so it's somewhat symbolic.

@Maxz No, we didn't stream it, sorry for the delay replying.

I'm reliably informed by Joe 'Serebii' Merrick that it was just a recap of everything we'd already seen, just localised for the Japanese audience.

@ThomasBW84 Yeah, sorry to get you involved. I realised this was the Nico stream that you were referring to yesterday after tracking it down, but prior to that, its place in NL's 'E3 2016 Schedule' banner had me hoping it might be something more substantial. I managed to watch most of it, and I can reliably inform you that the information Mr. Merrick reliably informed you of was, in fact, reliable.

I've hope you've recovered from your sleep depravation.

Idk why but it reminds me of those anode beetles from pikmin 2, they generated electricity.

It also reminds of the triclops from metroid prime, which dwelled in machinery and had a similar appearence.

This is a great concept for a third legendary for the Sun and Moon games in my opinion:

Obviously all credit goes to Deltheor, that is some amazing fan art.

It does look amazing. I'd definitely buy it if they released that game.

Amazing doesn't quite cut it, lol. It's a shame that it's only fan art; I really wish it was real.

Then people should stop making dreams.

That does look nice. Wonder what type it'd be?

I just want to go to kalos

Everyone would think it would be dark type, but it'd end up being psychic.

Or Fire/Fighting lol jk

Okay, I've seen enough of this game to say I'm probably not going to buy it. This series is simply too far gone from it's roots to be fixed.

No matter how much it damages the game experience, Game Freak is going to continue making this game more and more child-friendly, despite the fact that it was perfectly so from day 1. They are going to keep driving these games with terrible stories. They are going to keep pushing bland "friends" instead of rivals. And they are going to keep making the main campaign easier and easier, with the assumption that older players will just "enjoy the competitive aspects".

Game Freak has forgotten a part of what made their earlier titles so great- the world. When I play G/S/C, I feel like an individual thrown into an incredible Pokemon world, I feel like I'm solving puzzles on my own. That's why I could enjoy them without ever trading or connecting a link cable. Now, you feel like you are playing as someone else in the Pokemon world, as every little thing is beaten over your head. Puzzles aren't fun to solve as most just have the illusion of obstacle (if they exist at all **cough** Gen 5 **cough**).

I've been waiting all my life for a Fire-type Tiger Pokemon (my favorite type and animal), but I guess I won't get to experience it.

Sorry for the rant, I just saw GameXplain delving deep into the "story details", and I couldn't take it anymore.
