I still have a 700-ish eevee sitting in my account...Unfortunately my junk phone stopped being able to run the game months ago so he won't be evolving any time soon.

Can the battery life be extended by just keeping the system docked and playing on the tv rather than using it as a handheld system? Or will it last, say, ten years either way?

That's a good price, my skinny wallet would appreciate it.

Beautiful, I'll give it a closer look when it comes out.

That's awesome, almost makes me wish Nintendo would actually make a few "demakes".

If it's a new IP or an Uprising sequel I will be thrilled! Uprising had tons of guns and cannons. Even the blades were basically guns, and some of the staffs looked like guns(Don't believe me? Look up the Flintlock Staff) and it also had giant mech things sort of like that action figure. So it's a very possible connection, methinks.

Sounds interesting, I'd like to check it out if it happens.

Will it come out in time for my birthday? I can hope.

Sweet, I hope more stuff like this is localized in English. What are the odds they'd bring over the Art of Mira book? I really, really, really want that one in English so I can read all the passages and notes about the concepts. I guess low odds since the first Xenoblade's art book was never localized, either...

The only games I could afford this year were Pokemon Sun and Twilight Princess, so I can't really vote.

Pokemon Sun is (imo) the best game in the series, though, so I would have voted for that, probably.

Uprising is still my favorite game, period. Pit is my baby. I too would love a new Uprising sequel, or even just a fancy upgraded switch port.

I've still yet to finish the original, though. I need to get on that...But old nes games and me don't mix well.

I do have an original five screw copy of it(and the original booklet, no original box however), though no working nes to play it on. I hope to pick one up eventually. It would be awesome if the first time I beat the game is on the original copy.

I would LOVE to have that bag.

Seeing him geek out like that made me laugh. I can't wait for that to be me when the game is in my hands.

Oh wow, I need the one on the right. Very pretty.

Ugh, of course the game is starting to get good now that my phone can no longer run it. At least my level 23 account is still available if I ever get a better phone.

I was about to say I wish this game was made, but Breath of the Wild is pretty much this and more, I think.

If it's not gen 2 mons, then it's the gen 1 legendaries. It would be lame if they introduced legendaries this way, so it's gotta be gen 2.

Unfortunately, the game has started to run more poorly for me with every single update. I can no longer play it on my phone, since my trainer no longer walks. She stays in one spot. I had to close the game and restart it whenever I wanted to spin a pokestop, and eggs were no longer an option, so I stopped. I was looking forward to getting my favorite starter, cyndaquil. Curse you, cruddy phone! I can't buy a better one just for a game.

I just realized there is a page 2 on this...I'm dumb.

L is my favorite character in the whole game. He's funny, charming, polite, kind, quite vain and proud(in a good way I think, not insufferable like HB) and is my favorite party support in battle. Astral protection, two topple arts and arts that inflict blaze and slow debuffs just plain ROCK. He is one of the only characters who stays standing very long in difficult post-story battles, the dude's tanky! I want to play as him in the lead a bit if I play the game a fourth time. I will definitely try to take down big post-game tyrants with him sometime...I've been meaning to get to that.

A thing to think about regarding L is indeed his name, an obvious connection to "Lucifer"...But which Lucifer? Not the evil christian version, I think. The Xeno series is no stranger to incorporating influences or references to a religion called gnosticism, in which the one true god figure is called the Monad. (Sound familiar? The Monado in the previous Xenoblade was named after this being!) In gnostic belief, one of the big servants of Monad is none other than Lucifer. Lucifer is not an evil devil trickster in gnostic belief. He wants to guide humanity to enlightenment, truth and knowledge, away from the Demiurge's(the false god that you should NOT worship in gnostic belief) twisted, harmful ways. Pretty chill dude, that gnostic Lucifer.

Perhaps this means L will play some big mystical part in guiding humans to a better way of living come the sequel. Or perhaps the name is just a reference, as L is very curious and is always on the hunt for more knowledge to soak up. It could be he is just a straggler of an extinct species that was wiped out in that big Miran civil war and is just there trying to survive alongside everyone else. I think it may be that last one. There is an npc who says this if you approach them near the Rosemoss restaurant:

"We humans are lucky there's so many of us. I wonder what it feels like to be the last member of your race. That's gotta be lonely."

This dialogue hits hard, and feels significant. It surely was put there for a reason, and I believe it is this: One of our characters is the last of their kind, and that is a lonely, terrible thing to be no matter how you slice it. If this isn't hinting toward L, then who? The other big candidate is Elma. Maybe even both of them? Either way, I think this will be explored in the sequel, and I will cry, since I love both of them and it will hurt to see if they have tragic backstories.

@Kage_88 "stupid plot holes"

Like what? I don't know of any plot holes in it, and I've played the game three times and thought a lot about the story. There's just some storylines left unfinished, as in that major cliffhanger business in chapter 12. Cliffhangers or "to-be-continued" situations aren't plot holes, though they do irk me. We need a story continuation, be it a game, novel, or animated series, that's for sure.

I love this game so much. I've played through it three times, and gotten frontiernav to 100% completion twice. I am in high hopes that a sequel is announced soon, because I want to figure out what is up with this friggin' planet already!

"The gravity also seems to be all over the place, with entire landmasses impossibly (but lovingly) suspended high in the air"

This has nothing to do with the planet's gravity. This is explained by a nopon npc named Mogugu who shows up next to Mujiji in Oblivia's Dorian caravan at night. He has different dialogue during different parts of the game, and states later in the game that these floating islands and the wreckage all around Oblivia were remnants of a highly advanced ancient floating civilization on Mira. He says they blew themselves up, and earlier mentions that the giant rings were weapons used to attack the other native peoples, greatly hinting at a civil war on the planet that wiped all these civilizations out. Going by the state of the ruins across the planet, it is obvious before you even talk to Mogugu that some major conflict happened here may years ago. I really want to know more about Mira's history.

Edit: Typo'd planet as plant, lol. Mira is a sentient giant plant confirmed.

Can't wait! Who else spotted a cucco in the trailer and got unexplainably happy? Just me? Okay...

I honestly can't tell what's got people so upset. Framerate dips? Where? Can someone point out the part where it happens, because I don't see any myself?

Anyway, it's nice to finally see an area that isn't plain grassland or a canyon. Sweet jungle. Combat still looks good. I hope weapons don't break that frequently, though. It seemed like they broke a lot in this.

Ironically, pidgey and zubat were already uncommon at best in my area. Seeing as how pidgey is the easiest way to get experience(by that tiny 12-candy evolution bonus) this makes leveling up harder...If this means I might actually see a rare spawn sometime, then that's good I guess? But man, I've been stuck at level 23 for nearly a month. That level 20+ experience spike is a doozy.

Now this is a nice update!

@Interneto In that case, no more remakes, please...New games!

If we're talking about more remakes, can it at least be Pokemon Snap or a modernized Pokemon Stadium game that you can import your Gen 6 'mons to? I don't think the main series needs any more remakes for the time being.

Target has a preorder card that specifies you can get a $5 target gift card when you pick up your preorder. Not too bad, buy some free snacks when you pick up your game.

Dwayne "The Shock" Johnson.

Spooky scary pokeghosts send shivers down your spi-WAIT, SERIOUSLY, who was that ghost girl supposed to be?

@Roam85 Actually, it looks like they are doing away with HM moves altogether in Sun and Moon. We may never need to use "HM mules" again from this point forward.

I really like all three starter's final forms. Grass/ghost is an especially interesting typing for a starter and the vine-whip bow and arrow thing is awesome. Primarina is utterly adorable. Incineroar is just plain charming, even though I was put off by it when I first saw it in the leaks. Though, I think the fan name(or was it a fake leak name?) "Beltigre" sounds better than the official name Incineroar. No matter, I'll name my buff fire cat Sriracha.

I'm tempted to soft reset for a shiny starter this time around. I've never done that before, but I like the shinies of both the grass and fire starters. Decidueye is black with a green hood and Incineroar is white and red.

@Seacliff It would appear poor Wally has been stricken with Ash's no-aging disease. He will be ten forever.

@Mega_Yarn_Poochy Is it wrong to want the game to be better than it is? There's no need to mock.

Come on, Niantic, give me a reason to play again. Changing the color of an egg won't do it. There are so many missed opportunities and botched mechanics in this game. Knowing it could be something much greater than it is but they choose to fiddle around with little aesthetic things instead is frustrating. I don't care about eggs or walking five kilometers for a single candy. I want to track the pokemon down before they despawn and trade and stuff. Do they not have the money or staff to implement these things? Why not? :/

This game will be my birthday gift to myself. Bring on March!

@aaronsullivan I have a big backlog in the form of games I haven't been able to buy, if that counts. When I get money, I will game.

To throw everyone for a loop, near the end of this series of artworks they should make a super-adorable, innocent-looking gengar drawing.

@Urameshi This is Nintendo Life announcing the announcement of an announcement, which is a preview trailer. Nah, not redundant at all.

That's kind of funny to think about. A couple years ago I might have called this...Announcementception.

@aaronsullivan Thanks, but I'm not really in a position to save any money. Things aren't going as well as they should be. Hopefully something changes for the better in the next two years. I needs my games! I've already had to sell most of the ones I owned. Like selling little pieces of my soul.

I really wanted to back this so I could have a Wii u version to play but didn't have money to spare at that time(or now...). Now I'm glad I didn't. What a bummer if it doesn't even come to Wii U. I likely won't be able to afford a new console any time soon so I can't really get the NX, so I may be missing out on this game for a looooong time. Oh well.

@Shiryu I agree, I got more enjoyment out of that one game than any other game I've ever played, except maybe the Pokemon series if it's counted as a whole. I played X for several hundred hours across thee save files myself, 100%'ed the game twice...And I still want a sequel, asap. The story needs to be finished and I need to see more of Mira!

There was a charmander nest near my house...It turned into a rattata nest.

I don't have much experience with the series, but Symphony of the Night is great. I have a mint black label original copy, too. One of my favorite games, even though it is too darn hard for me to finish...

The dialogue in this is so boring...The animation was great, though. I hope they make more without dialogue, like the first one.

Also, where is Blue's arcanine? They didn't show him! Harumph! >: (

That creature in the picture reminds me of Bongo Bongo from Ocarina of Time. Just a little

So does this mean I can't transfer my shiny baby nidoran into Sun from X until these updates are released? Dang, I wanted to pretend my blue nidoking was an alolan form and play through the game with it.

Huh, it seems like they are implying they can't do a quick patch to change it? I don't know squat about this stuff, though it does seem like a simple thing that would take all of ten minutes to recode.

@Classic603

Full sentence for reference: "You're then read a math question from a narrator that sounds like he belongs in a '90s PC game, and given four choices to answer that correspond to the A, B, X, and Y buttons"

Honest question, what is incorrect in this sentence? I don't see the error. Should it be "Then you're read a math question from a narrator..."? Though, that doesn't seem any more correct to me. It's bothering me that I can't see what's wrong.

@XCWarrior I've never once cheated in this game...From what I've read, rooting a phone is mostly just to make the phone run smoother and help with battery life. It has nothing to do with cheating in games, let alone Pokemon Go. And I don't know heads or tails about this stuff so I am certainly not cheating...And many who rooted their phones aren't either. They just rooted for a better phone. Now people are getting banned though are playing by the rules, because they happened to have rooted their phones before Go even came out. It would suck if I got banned for just happening to have some kind of store-installed root thing from when I bought the phone, since I have never heard of this stuff until I read about it on the PoGo subreddit a couple of days ago. I got all the way to level 22 and finally got my near-flawless arcanine with the perfect moves, and all legit. No cheating. I shouldn't have to worry about losing that like many other players already have...Niantic messed up on this one and are punishing the wrong people.

@samuelvictor I have a samsung android phone...How can I tell if it is a rooted phone? I am so worried that I will get banned for this, and I don't even know what it is.

@SuperDude95 I've been trying to look this up but I don't quite understand it...What is rooting/jailbreaking exactly and how do I know if my phone is rooted/jailbroken? I am assuming since I don't know what the heck this stuff is that my phone is not rooted/jailbroken? I am scared to download the update for fear of getting my account banned over something I don't even understand how to do.

Walking with the buddy feature is the only way I will ever evolve my charmeleon and squirtle, and perhaps my nidorino since I no longer find nidoran in the wild...
