Topic: A Month until ORAS! The hype build-up topic!

Apparently this is going to tie in with X/Y somehow with some item from AZ? Maybe that's what ancient artifact thingy is for?? Maybe this is how we get the Light of Ruin Floette? I CAN'T WAIT ANY LONGER FOR THIS GAME TWO WEEKS ASFAFHJSAKDFD

I hope you somehow lose the use of your hands for a week between the 21st and the 28th.

less then that, when some Japanese gamer gets it early, finishes and leaks and spoils the whole thing online

gotta catch 'em all. setting up the 3ds as we speak. pretty noice so far

[Lord Raven]

Nice keyboard too.  Have fun and good luck.

thanks! observations so far:

• 8-directional movement is really cool and the stick feels nice. the new c-stick feels kind of hard, but i don't have anything to test it
• nice throwback to the original games in the opening scene
• 3d effect is cool, but causes a bit of fps lag in battles i think. also not in the overworld?
• dexnav is nice. is there any reward for finding all the pokemon in a particular route/complete x routes?
• sneak function is handy and its cool tied in w/ the dexnav
• environments look good. the colours and style make up for the low level of detail and pixel density (my samsung tab s has spoiled me)
• animations are really smooth. battle camera is dynamic

not sure how much of this was introduced in x/y, but in the hour i've played, its very cool seeing the game i played >10 years in a more modern context

ps. mech keyboard has brown switches with red/orange blank custom keycaps. v cool!

[Lord Raven]

Yeah 3D effect causes an FPS lag in just about everything I've played.


There's no reward but it makes it easy to keep track of Pokemon you still need to catch.  Just about everything but dexnav (and idk what the sneak function is) was intro'd in XY.

It's awesome. Obviously streamed it straight for 10 hours.

I'm at Fortree City. Will be streaming it tomorrow.

The Latias thing totally took me by surprise.
And a personal hate for any Team Aqua mon with swagger. Since it was introduced in this generation it's more common and I hate it.

Planning on finishing the game tomorrow. Then having weird fun and stuff lmao.
