Pokémon X and Y

[6M69I69B9]

I wonder how the lack of 3DS emulators, save file editors, etc. will affect the competitive pokemon scene for X and Y. Maybe there will be another GTS sort of thing that people can intercept with network settings again, but until then, I guess everyone will either stick to transferred old pokemon or actually play the games legitimately.

Considering how easy it is to copy save data to/from an SD card, if they release the game digitally, it'll be easy to at least duplicate pokemon.

    W-well, I go on /vp/, and there are some people who think that some people are going to crack the 3DS soon, but I don't know- I hope not.  And about the GTS, I guess people will have control over the five previous generations- though I'm not too sure how it's going to be for the 6th generation.  I really would like to see how this generation will play out- because if everything goes as planned, then this will be the most "mysterious" generation in a long time since nobody can hack the games or something and release everything as soon as the games are released.  

    I'd also like to see how different a generation of no cheating would be.  I mean, in every generation, there has always been ways to get 100x Rare Candy and etc. in-game- eventually coming to just editing or making your own Pokémon on Pokésav/Pokégen.  I guess one thing would be that it'd take way more time to get the desired stats of a Pokémon.  Then there's the possibility of hidden Pokémon that won't be advertized or may never released.  (Like how The Key Items for the in-game events for Arceus, Shaymin, and Darkrai were never released in the U.S., at least legitimately.)  IV's will probably be hard to determine since there's no more Pokécheck (Or I assume, anyway.) unless there's a change for them.  

    I like how there's some people considering ditching Pokémon X/Y and maybe generations past that because of the possibility of a new type.  Which seems pretty huge with the interpretations of a skit on Pokémon Smash a few weeks ago- they showed a woman dressed in a Sylveon costume, and her doing things so that other people on the show guess what type it is.  Some people interpreted the skit with Sylveon being immune to Dragon, super effective against Ice, being affected by Poison- very unique type reactions, assuming that the interpretations are going on the right path, in which I kind of believe.  But GAMEFREAK sure can be...a tease...

I would guess they'd just transfer over for old pokemon which don't get any significant changes

I kind of wish they'd just get rid of EV/IVs. Too much work and hardly anyone actually levels multiple pokemon to high levels with perfect stats. Becomes more a matter of which "trainer" has more time on their hands

    I'd like for IV's to go, (Fuck breeding and deleting Pokémon- all so repetitive as shit.) but EV's can stay.  Because there's flexibility in choosing how specifically you want your Pokémon to be- a tank, a sweeper, a hybrid, or your own spread of EV's.  I like variety with stats of the same Pokémon.  Without EV's, then it just relies on what nature (Way easier to retain than IV's will ever be, for now.) your Pokémon is and what attacks it has- pretty bland, in my opinion.  And there are items that help the EV training, and even getting your Pokémon caught with Pokérus, which makes it faster by doubling the amount of EV's you get per battle.  I mean, it doesn't take too long to EV train.  (Probably an hour or so, from my experiences with the suggested EV training stuff I mentioned.)  Then with  Pokémon Black 2 and Pokémon White 2, there's Join Avenue, where there's shops and other stops that can help you with all of this, too, even leveling and breeding.

As of Gen 5 it's much easier to train pokemon up to higher levels than before and I'd expect that precedent to continue, so at least rare candies matter less than before.
In Gen 5, some of the event legendaries that we knew about since practically B/W release due to game rips weren't officially announced until much later. I think Genesect in particular wasn't officially announced until like last year and the others include Keldeo and Meloetta.

Why would a new type be reason to ditch Pokemon?
Pokemon always changes something major about the mechanics with every generation and I don't see how types are especially important in terms of staying the same. It's not like the current set of types is flawlessly balanced.

Pokemon Smash is ridiculous and that skit might not even be about type advantages; it could have just been showing a few types that Sylveon is not.

[YPrrrr]

If they made another type strong against Ice then Ice is almost complete garbage. Might just be better to stick ice attacks on water pokemon

Fairy type sounds dumb. I really hope it isn't super effective against ice like some said it will be

[bluaki]

an earlier announcement suggested that the character customization is limited to exactly 3 combinations of hair/skin color, but this seems to suggest much more

[spoiler]watch them pull something like making this customization only apply to your small buddy icon and not affect your character model [/spoiler]

[YPrrrr]

I really hope you can customize, the main male in the preview videos looks like such a dweeb >_<'

Also yay new fire/flying that isn't a starter/legendary
