And they confirmed that it's a special. Dreams crushed

Spoiler: Also this mysterious screeny has show up (click to show/hide)

[Aklyon]

Oh er also the demo being showed off at the pokemon gameshow has Fennekin having the moves psybeam, flame charge, tail whip, and fire spin

Fire/Psychic? Awesome.

Also running is now the default movement and you press the B button to walk instead

Woo.

[Mesa]

Fennekin confirmed not to be Fire/Fighting (aka Water).
Crisis averted.

We have some serious (r)evolution happening in here, and I like it.

I've heard nothing but bad things about the 3DS Mystery Dungeon, but I cannot give a personal opinion as I have not played it.

I have it. The gameplay is not as good as the old installments, but the story (while nowhere near as complex from what I've seen) is surprisingly self aware about how cynical a setting where everything is out to kill you can be.

Also the final boss is an Elrdrich abomination

Aw, that sucks. It was a good series, and the roguelike-ishness worked surprisingly well on the DS.

[Mesa]

We need a Pokemon roguelike.
How come there not be a Pokemon mod for DF yet?

I think theres a partial one somewhere in the forum.

[Furtuka]

For those interested Akroma has been organizing pokemon tournaments using pokemon showdown in FG&R

Some X and Y music, recorded from the demos at the Pokemon Game Show

Gates to Infinity was my first Mystery Dungeon game, and I only played the free demo, but I really liked it and plan to buy it when I can. I get what you mean about the story (in a Pokemon game!?) outshining the gameplay in bits.

Fennekin confirmed not to be Fire/Fighting (aka Water).
Crisis averted.

Torchic, Chimchar, and Tepig are all pure fire type first stage starters, too. We'll see...

Also, Siliconera found that Nintendo of America recently trademarked Pokkén Fighter and Pokkén Tournament, and there was a wacky full-3d scene at the end of that retrospective involving a Blaziken and Lucario facing off in a city. Pokkén would be some sort of double portmanteau of Pokemon (pocket monster) and 'fist', which is where Tekken gets the second half of its name. A Fighting-type Pokemon fighting game? I'd be down. Even with Gen 6, there are probably only two dozen viable combatants, which is pretty respectable for a fighting game. My guess?

1st gen: Primeape, Poliwrath, Heracross(?), Machamp, Hitmonlee, Hitmonchan
2nd gen: Hitmontop(?)
3rd gen: Blaziken, Hariyama, Medicham, Breloom
4th gen: Infernape(?), Lucario, Toxicroak, Gallade
5th gen: Emboar(?), Conkeldurr, Throh, Sawk, Mienshao, Scrafty
6th gen: Pangoro, etc etc

Heracross and Hitmontop might be hard to make actual fighting styles for, and I'm not sure how many fire/fighting Pokemon a roster really needs. But I can envision some craaaazy battles involving Hitmonlee's ridiculous kicking and Throh's ability to... throw really well.

[Urist Imiknorris]

If that's a thing, it's amazing already.

(also Heracross was gen 2)

The unique feature with Pokémon Amie is that after you have utilised the feature, you will come to see various effects in battle. These features range from superficial to largely beneficial for the trainer which allows for greater strategy in battle. Most of them occur randomly, with the rate currently unclear. The effects known are as follows


    Text: The introduction message, and various statements throughout battle change in context
    Critical Hit Ratio: The ratio of Critical Hits is increased
    Evasion: The Pokémon's evasion is increased


The following may be attributed to Pokémon Amie based on the visual representation, but it still isn't clear

    Paralysis: The Pokémon has a chance of healing itself from paralysis
    Survival: The Pokémon has a chance of enduring a hit which would have knocked it out

Hehehehehehehehehhehe

[Aklyon]

Is that actually confirmed now or just still finagling around the internets?

[Furtuka]

According to Serebii it was found in the demos at the events last week

[Aklyon]

I'll be interested in seeing what kinda of drama it brings up then

[da_nang]

Methinks Smogon will ban it quickly.
