Some of these things I don't even know what you're talking about.  I looked up the screenshots expecting to see the dude with a big head and two little lines, and I just saw a big stylized animo head.  It looks fine, man.

[Heron TSG]

The game still has a few months of polishing. I doubt what we saw were all final animations. They've shown moves used in trailers that got new animations before the actual release before, and that was with far less time between announcement and release.

That guy might look kinda strange, but he's actually better-proportioned that any 2d main character, to my knowledge. Looks better than the Black(2) and White(2) characters, at least.

Pokemon is not about graphics at all

Trivia: video games in general are about graphics.

Also, why on Earth is the name after letters? It's going to be like this:

- Pokemon X and Y
- Pokemon Z
- Now I know my ABC's.

Actually it's more likely to be Pokemon X2 and Y2. At least from what I see, BW2 are a lot more successful than any third version has been.

If they make a dual third again its going to be irritating; theres no point at all in waiting for the third game if you get a chioce thrown in your face anyway, when the point of the third game is to combine the two games.

[penguinofhonor]

But up until now that combination has always felt like a slap in the face to everyone who bought the first two games.

I think what happened with BW2 is that they realized that their goal was to get everyone to buy two games per generation, so they designed the sequels around that goal. This results in people going "Wow, buying Black then Black 2 is great!" instead of people going "Wow, why did I buy Diamond? I should have just waited for Platinum."

It's conveyed almost entirely through graphics, though. I guess I was wrong in saying that video games are about graphics, but I still think dismissing graphics is like saying the paint is unimportant to a painting.

Yes, but then you either end up with the exact same version-exclusives, or you need a second (3)DS to reaquire your previous version-exclusives if they were any good. In Crystal/Emerald/Platinum, you got all of the pokemon.

And it also takes the effort out of naming the third game something relevant.

[Heron TSG]

Protip: you don't have to get the same version twice. I bought White and then Black 2. All the Pokermans.

[Aklyon]

I covered that.

or you need a second (3)DS to reaquire your previous version-exclusives if they were any good.

[Heron TSG]

Or friends. :I

Maybe I'm just lucky, but I have four or five friends that also have a DS and a Gen 5 Pokemon game.  (Could be a college thing.)

Crystal had missing Pokemon.
Emerald had missing Pokemon.
Platinum had missing Pokemon.

The goal of those games was never to have a version where you could get all the Pokemon.

And it also takes the effort out of naming the third game something relevant.

Oh well? I don't see how that's very important.

[Aklyon]

The latter thing wasn't important, I just wanted to say it.

As to the pokemon missing, I didn't know that. Hmm.

[penguinofhonor]

I was actually surprised about Crystal missing Pokemon. I feel like I've been told a lot that it had both version's exclusives.

[Cthulhu]

Well, I think I'm done for a while.  After days of losing almost every game no matter what I did I had eventually resorted to using sand stall because I hated the person I was playing against so much I wanted him to have as little fun as possible.  That's probably not healthy, especially considering this is a fucking game, and I should be having fun.
