So, the stats are just which wins against which? Hasn't this been true since the first game that grass beats water, water beats fire, fire beats grass?

Regardless, I'm going with Fennekin. I've loved fire types since Charmander back in the day lol.

Y_51504119d ago

me personally I always been going for grass and that seems to be not changing this time around. I like Chespin. :)

I can't wait to see what their second and final forms look like. Right now it's looking like Froakie then Fennekin but it could always change. Black and White was going to be Tepig then Oshawott but that got flipped around.

I'm growing highly impatient about details about this game. More gen 6 pokemon, new region, how we can get pokemon transfered from Black and White 2. I skipped over black and white 2 but I'm going to play it before this to get a collection on that game.

I think the stats there are talking was this part at the bottom.

· Xerneas: Height: 9’10” Weight: 474.0 lbs.
· Yveltal: Height: 19’00” Weight: 447.5 lbs.

Good for someone who hasn't played before...

but no doubt most of the audience will be those who have already played previous Pokemon games so... yeah...

Fire strong against Grass? Obviously :P

Tonester9254119d ago

X and Y? lol Ran out of colors?

CraigUK4119d ago

The way I understood it is that X and Y refer to dimensions, and a third game will come out called Z which makes up x,y,z the 3 dimensions for 3D.

Maybe i am wrong.

Kran4119d ago

AHAHAHAHAHAHA

Yeah... that jokes been done a million times since it's announcement :/

where were you when they announced it?

CraigUK4119d ago (Edited 4119d ago )

It was a joke? the game is in the '3D'S, makes sense to me.

edit - maybe wasnt response to me, if not. ignore.

Tonester9254119d ago

I don't play pokemon since I was 12. Im 21 now and it doesn't interest me. So no I wouldn't know when it was announced nor pay attention to it. I just happened to see it today.

AWBrawler4119d ago

@Tonester

There are already like over 10 pokemon games. There's no need for me to buy 3ds and that game.

Snookies124119d ago

Then get it for other good games...? There are quite a few good ones in the 3DS library, kinda hard to NOT find something worth buying one over at this point.

edgeofsins4117d ago

The amount of games they make shouldn't have anything to do with whether you want to play a new version of it. Nothing wrong with PC's but there are thousands of different models each year.

Making Pokémon 3D Was A Mistake

Pokémon’s shift to 3D was a big mistake, as the series’ roots in 2D design make it difficult to transfer important game mechanics into a 3D overworld.

why do other games pull off 3D monster collecting JRPG games just fine? Look at Jade Cocoon and Shin Megami Tensei for examples.

FallenAngel1984497d ago

Answer should be obvious.

No other videogame franchise is as merchandise driven as Pokémon

Nintendo 3DS Games We Still Love Playing Even Today

BLG writes: "While it didn’t sell as well as the Nintendo DS, the Nintendo 3DS was nonetheless a wonderful system. And, while this may be a hot take, it’s easily my favorite handheld. Even more than a decade removed from launch, the system’s library has so many titles that feel as fresh today as they did back at release. While it was hard to narrow down, these 30 Nintendo 3DS games are emblematic of the system’s success."

When Will The Pokemon Company Introduce a New Typing?

The Pokemon Company has a solid thing going right now. Well, it’s been going on for a while, actually, but it has been a while since a new typing has been introduced to the popular monster-taming series. The latest one, Fairy type, was introduced back in Generation VI (Pokemon X & Y), so it does seem like it is time to bring in a new one. Check out Jason Capp's article for more.
