Hey /vp/, John Gamefreak here.
I am answering all the questions you might have about the new games.
>>26217412
tell me about the games, why do they wear colors ?
What is the name of the highest point in the new region
that you can jump off of and die?
>>26217412
shut up?
Today I saw in a general electronics store (Worten) that Sun/Moon have an October 2016 estimated release date. Any other stores said this? Just curious.
WORTEN CONFIRMED EVERYBODY
I though this was already confirmed october 5
>>26217335
who the fuck cares, that's meaningless
worten, fnac, all these stores just have placeholder dates
they had placeholders for zelda wii u that said 2015
>Owl n' friends confirmed as real
>But they are just regular Pokemon, and not the starters
How would /vp/ feel about this?
This won't happen. It's not worth discussing.
Don't care either way, because if they're aren't real--Goalposting would have ensued and Owlfags would claim this until the game is out.
If this is true, that's pretty neat as well.
>>26217233
That would be good because the owlfags can be butt mad over something that was never possible in the first place
That being said it's not gonna happen anyways
>Pokémon is a video game staple, a commercial juggernaut that earns more money from merchandising alone than most small countries earn from taxing their entire populations. In fact, if Nintendo went bankrupt tomorrow, and were forced to sell everything asset and intellectual property apart from Pokémon, they’d still make enough money to sustain themselves as a relatively sized independent studio.
>For whatever reason, people just can’t seem to get enough of Pokémon; they absolutely adore the ugly little things, and they’ll empty their wallets all over Nintendo’s face just to show their appreciation. They’ll pay subscription fees for online storage, they’ll pay full price for two separate versions of the same game, and they’ll defend Pokémon tooth and nail against any perceived threat, which in this case happens to be legitimate criticism.
>You see, nothing’s perfect, least of all Pokémon. From not having developed in any meaningful way in over two decades, to generally being a chore to play sometimes, Pokémon has always been something of a flawed experience. It’s a beloved franchise with many positive qualities to which I will (no doubt) soon be informed, but that doesn't mean it should be considered beyond reproach.
>As we've all gotten older, many of us have found ourselves inexplicably distanced from the Pokémon universe. Here are the thirteen biggest reasons why…
13. It's Actually Fairly Impossible To Catch 'Em All
>Some people don’t care about finishing games, truly finishing them. The tantalising prospect of crossing every last T, and dotting that final, elusive I, doesn't interest them in the slightest. Whether a game says 76% or 100%; to them, it’s all the same thing. It just doesn't bother them, the thought of a game being left ultimately unfinished, abandoned utterly incomplete. In fact, they've probably already moved on to their next conquest, without even a second thought for those wretched games left unrealised, deserted in their wake.
>Some of us, however, do care about this sort thing. In fact, we fixate over it; it keeps us up at night, tossing and turning in our sleep.
>For us, it can be difficult walking away from a game that still has something left to offer, that still has secrets yet to be revealed, items yet to be uncovered, promises yet to be delivered upon. And Pokémon isn’t exactly making things any easier for us.
>There are currently 720 of the bloody things, spread across dozens of games and multiple gaming systems. At this point, it'd be easier to pick every blade of grass from your back garden with a pair of chopsticks than it would be to conceivably catch every last Pokémon. Especially considering the fact that many of them are only attainable through special events, or through trading with others players, which grows increasingly more difficult for those of us in our mid-twenties, who have no friends. *cough*
Cool blog.
12. You Can Beat The Entire Game With Your Starter
>There are several misconceptions surrounding the Pokémon series, and the following is perhaps the most perpetuated myth of all time: that you need a well-balanced, comprehensive team comprised of a variety of different Pokémon in order to succeed. In truth, you can beat every last game using only your starter, and doing so will makes the games considerably easier to boot.
>Just keep levelling, and never switch to another member of your party. In fact, don't even bother catching anything else you come across. Eventually, your chosen starter will outmatch anything the game can possible throw at you. You’ll absolutely demolish anything that dares cross your path, including every last one of those pesky Gym leaders.
>It’s that simple, and it requires very little effort; in fact, it’s quicker and easier than training an entire team. Just focus on one guy, and use him for everything. With the help of a few dozen potions, this method will make short work of the Elite Four, and anyone else crazy enough to challenge you.
>It’s pretty much a fool-proof tactic, providing you choose either Bulbasaur or Squirtle, seeing as how Charmander will find itself KO’d at even the suggestion of water.
>Electric sheep Pokemon gets Plus
>Electric wolf Pokemon gets Minus

Fine, you guys waited long enough. Here's your grass starter, hot of the press.
>>26216976
I took a day off of work tomorrow just to see all those owlfags be BTFO. Burn in hell, fegit.
This is why we cant get along
>>26217036
Haha i love the idea of you sitting there, maniacal grin, waiting for the reveal video.
It's time boys
What do you want in this trailer? (Other than people getting btfo)
Nobody ever gets BTFO because they're all an anonymous minority slush who backpedal.
Hell even namefags will backpedal so who cares, people just like rioting.
>>26216953
Megas to be non-existent
>Doesn't care about "Owlgate" in the slightest
>Hid many a thread about it
I just hope for something worthwhile, OP. Either ORAS' reveal trailer or XY's--either one, I would not be mad about.
Can any pokemon on Ash's team manage to defeat Goodra in a battle? Goodra's current moveset is unknown considering it could've learned aqua tail or power whip off-screen. Implying that it still knew Ice Beam, it could easily defeat Noivern and Hawlucha. The only one I could see defeating Goodra is Ash-Greninja, but even then it could get BTFO by power whip.
>>26216856
>The Greninja who took a Leaf Storm from a Sceptile and a Thunder Punch from a Mega Charizard X would get BTFO by a Goodra's Power Whip
>>26216856
>it
>>26217306
>has
So we getting new info tomorrow?
Will it be a video or direct?
Possible video
>>26216863
Did they say anything about it? I mean they announced it to the world right not just japan?
Where will the update be at? posted on the pokemon channel or there website?
