Topic: Pokemon Game Show - LIVE

[Turner]

The Pokemon Game Show is currently live in Japan where visitors can try out a demo of X/Y.

It's kind of late so I will come back and go into more details but here's the low-down.

Pictures are being continually uploaded here: http://img.ly/images/raim2005?page=1

Details so far:

-You can ride on Skiddo (Gogoat's pre-evo)
-Mega evolutions are initiated by touching a separate button in combat (on the same screen as the 4 other battle buttons)
-Fennekin used the move Psybeam
-The male rival looks to be a nasty rival instead of a nice guy
-Running is default with the analog stick, you hold B to walk.
-There are 3 stats in Pokemon-amie: Play/Friendliness/Hunger

Also, Pokemon Origins has been announced - an anime that will run alongside X/Y based on the Pokemon Adventures setting and follow Red in Pallet town as he battles his rival Green and challenges gym leader Brock. The PKMN.NET thread for this is here!

EDIT: I can't confirm for true just yet but it looks like there is a new type logo in the TCG which could well represent Fairy type. I know it's not quite X/Y related but still.

And Pokemon has finally caught up to modern RPGs

-The male rival looks to be a nasty rival instead of a nice guy

My favorite. In the old games they were REALLY your rivals. Now they're just your friends and such... If this is the nasty rival, they're back on the right track. It makes me feel more like the win was worth it if I were beating an "arrogant jerk who needs to be taught a lesson because he mocks my strength."

Thanks for the info, Turner.

-Fennekin used the move Psybeam

Every Fennekin fan breathes a sigh of relief.

glow punch is probably a psychic type move too -_-

No mention of that mystery game that could be another Stadium/Colosseum/XD/Battle Revolution game yet? :3

Exciting news, I am excited about the anime

Here's some great footage from the demo at the Game Show, shows some battles, riding around on Skiddo etc.

Also it seems like Fire resists Fairy, which was also confirmed on the leak months ago, so there's a high chance Fairy could be immune to Dragon...
