Video: New Pokémon X & Y Footage Emerges, Proves How Exciting it Really Is

Actually really excited for this. Shame about the grid movement system though.

EDIT: Saw diagonal movement. I'm happy now.

Judging by their excitement to everything, must be the greatest game ever.

Wow, shrieking at videofootage is not something I've done a lot Although I did clap my hands when Donkey Kong was revealed at this years E3.

On the X/Y subject, it's a bit of a shame that water-type pokemons are still just lounging on the ground - I had hopes that Gyarados for example would actually be submerged instead of floating around.

Looking good.

Battles look beautiful but really slow. I hope you can speed it up a bit without losing the nice move animations.

@Kyoto True, at least looks like that.

And of course they are excited, they are advertising the game...

Me too, I'm also very excited;)

@Aviator - Diagonal movement? Where?! That would definitely make me happy as well!

@Kyoto - Yep, that's still one of my greatest pet peeves with Pokémon. Those lenghty pre-battle animations get old really fast when you're, say, trasversing a cave.

Haha, gotta love the Japanese.

Haha, they're having lots of fun with the game. It put a smile on my face when they caught a pokemon.

@XCWarrior OR they're just Japanese. Might be both.

Wow. An awful lot of excitement over.... Fletchling. lol

But still, this game is shaping up to be truely something spectacular!

This seems to be practically perfect in every way! The Pokémon game we've been waiting for many years.
Also, I pity the fools of the TV show people and their (so authentic!) enthusiasm. Guess television is rubbish everywhere in the world.

Ahh, nothing like paid corporate enthusiasm.

I love Pokemon, but watching adults screaming like that over a wild Pokemon encounter is just embarrassing.

Gotta remember folks, it's a game for kids! Of course it's over the top enthusiastic excitement. It get's the kids that are watching this on a religious basis more excited to get the game. And it worked on me, considering I'm a 21 year old man child.
I'll get freaking excited when I catch my first Fletchling

It does look pretty good

Never played a Pokemon game.. I guess its after my time (When i was a kid the first Mario and Zelda were huge).

But I'll rent it and give it a fair try.

Japanese sure know how to over sell a game.
Pokémon should have been like this last gen, hopefully there more to this 3D battles.
Also; is that Sword a Pokémon? Or did the trainer got tired of using his pokémon, and when on a slashing rampage.

@ricklongo look at 2:52 ca.

It looks awesome, can't wait

Freaking diagonal movement! Game Freak realized after 5 gens how stupid simple grid movement is

That Octopus-like Pokemon looks awesome

1st- I'm not used to that over screaming they did in the video. I wasn't sure to be excited, laugh or be a little concern. It just threw me off.

2nd- I really hope "Surf" is not going to be like that...

3rd- The Sword pokemon is the "new Lucario" in the sense that everyone is going to train it and have it on their teams. I suppose that can't be helped. The concept and design is cool...kinda like a folklore of sorts...

4th- I'm still waiting for confirmation that the US will get those special Pokemon editions of the 3DS XL. I really want it like the green box for New Super Luigi U. Hahaha! XD

It's kinda sad that i'd remember the name of every pokemon up until gen 3 (stopped caring after that).... knew that was Octillery before clicking in here.

I think I saw this already....couldn't watch more than 20 seconds of it, too much yelling, lol

@Microwaveable1 It's Octillery from the 2nd generation. Nothing new, though I admit its cute. One of my favourites, I still must have one on Crystal trained for the League, water-type with psychic and ice attacks.

@Samurai_Goroh
I never really played any 2nd Gen games so I never would've seen it

Im so over hms at this point in the franchise.

I just don't get why they're FREAKING OUT!

All I need now is that the Pokemon XY 3DS XL will be released in the US.

@LzQuacker Actually, they've done free movement before with Colosseum and XD: Gale of Darkness. As a result (I assume, anyway), those save files took up a huge amount of memory card blocks in order to record your exact position and the exact direction your trainer faced.

Not nearly as exciting as they'd have you believe... but it's nice to see 8-directional movement as opposed to 4-directional. Full use of the circle pad would have been ideal, but it's definitely an improvement!

Wow, that is...incredibly annoying to watch. XD

I miss the GameCube Pokémon games, I wonder if this changes Pokémon for the better. I don't know about anyone else, but I'm quite sick of sprites. >.<

While this looks great I just want to point out that I really hate watching these videos on Pokemon Smash. Those people's voices are really distracting.

For everyone talking about them freaking out, that's really just how Japanese television goes. At least the talk shows, it's pretty over the top reactions all the time. Kind of like American infomercials.

The fake screaming really threw me off. I just muted it though

The Game Footage was awesome....The Screaming Adults though,Not so much. That Volume Button just got more tempting.

Looks good.. but Geez if you paid me to advertise your game.. I could probably.. make myself go OOO.. wow... and look see.. and clap and laugh to... hell if they paid me.. I could make myself go OOOOOOOO the cllllllaaaaaawwwww to... I am sorry.. nothing against em.. just saying they are being paid well to make this the coolest thing since Kool Aid.. so you know... still this does look like a good game overall..

I wish that the 3ds wasn't region locked. The first Pokemon taught me how to read and since I'm learning Japanese now I keep thinking that playing Pokemon in Japanese would help me brush up my skills.

not impressed with the trailer. if I had that demo copy, I would have looked hard for every piece of info I could find.

@element187 One does not simply...Rent a Pokemon Game!!!

@Warbeard But when you fish you do pull them out of the water, they still have the water thing cos your on the tip of the beach

@KilluaZoldyck Since its coming out worldwide, when you start the game you get the option to choose a language so it shouldn't be a problem.

@element187 I highly suggest you buy this. Renting doesn't cut it to a Pokémon game, you'll be playing it for months. Do stores even rent them? And your never late to start with Pokémon, they manage to be all very beginner friendly while still having layers of depth and complexity that a master RPG requires. Jump in the bandwagon.

X and Y look as good as the Gamecube games did back then. Thats my only problem with them, 3D console games aren't as exciting when the main games are already 3D.

@Skeet102
Of course you would, we all would. The trailer isn't very impressive because it can't be, theres only so much they're allowed to show and theres still 3 months to go.

Goodness, you guys. I can see how they can be annoying but I think it's cute. They're just excited, and frankly I would be too.

there are backrounds... THERE ARE ACTUAL BACKROUNDS!

I hope surf doesn't look like that..

@3Daniel

i agree completely. retire the HM

The new footage looks awesome! Hooray for diagonal movements!

But a sword pokemon? Really?

@Ninjuggernaut I find the Sword Pokemon awesome.

There's still one thing that's bugging me that wasn't explained in the trailer: do defeated Pokémon still sink into the ground?

@Furealz AGREED! Time for pokemon Colosseum 2! or XD 2!

Game looks great! Really hyped for it
