"If our translation holds true, Nintendo just gave Japanese Pokemon players even more single player content to go through."

Wait, huh? This doesn't sound like new dlc. Isn't this just the same post game content in the game?

admiralvic3713d ago

I'm 99.99% sure it is and makes me wonder if the author did any research at all. I mean, looking at the source ( http://www.4gamer.net/games... ) you can see some images of where to capture MewTwo, you can pretty much figure out this is post game stuff...

"20ばんどうろの奥にある「ポケモンのむら」の、 「ななしのどうくつ」。"

^ Thats the message directing you to find MewTwo. Now, you can look at the Snowbelle city map and at the bottom left you can see "20ばんどうろ"

http://cdn.bulbagarden.net/...

That path will lead you to the Pokemon Village ( http://cdn.bulbagarden.net/... ), which the opening looks exactly like the image in the 4gamer article ( http://www.4gamer.net/games... ) and reads Pokemon's Mura. I don't know what mura means, but I do find it interesting that Google translate will say mura (even though that is what the picture says) is wrong and will ask if you mean ポケモンの村, which says Pokemon Village.

Finally, the direction says to go to ななしのどうくつ or Anonymous Cave. This is awfully close to "Unknown Dungeon", which is located in the Pokemon Village and where you find MewTwo.

Unless I'm missing something here this stuff all becomes unlocked after you beat the E4 anyways. It's not DLC at all,it's there on the game already. It's not even hidden away. :/

That would be neat if they would make the other two birds available... It's annoying only having one and I'm hesitant to start over with the Pokebank to get the others. I think they need to add a new area with battles that go from lvl 50-100 so you can keep training your mons after the game and trainers that can be battled again. If the Pokemansion gave experience I would want to go there but it's pretty boring without exp...like playing online except with easier opponents.

Maybe add DLC that goes back to older regions...but that is just a never gonna happen dream, that would be an insane amount of work to bring up to 3D and intergrate into these games.

I would love a Pokemon-world-esque game.

At E3 2014 Nintendo announces Pokemon World for the Wii U. Lol a man can dream can't he.

Relientk773713d ago

Yeah, Articuno is the sh*t!

admiralvic3713d ago

I really hope the author feels stupid, because this post is wrong on so many levels...

"the game will now open up a path to a new town calledキナン."

A) The new town is spelled 「キナンシティ」, not just 「キナン」.
B) The town is actually "Kiloude City" ( http://bulbapedia.bulbagard... ) and is where the friend safari and such is located.

"There, you will be able to meet and battle Mega Evolution Mewtwo, Version X or Y depending on which version of the game you have. If you can capture said Mewtwo, you will also be able to easily obtain a Mega Stone not long after."

A) The source article does not say you can get MewTwo in Kiloude City. I even checked with a Google Translated version and even there it says MewTwo is located in the Cave of the Nameless or Unknown Dungeon.
B) I explained what exactly the article said about MewTwo in my previous post.

"More importantly, beating Mewtwo releases the Legendary Bird Pokemon into Kalos. The Pokemon you chose to be your 1st starter (Fennekin, Chespin, and Froakie) will determine which Legendary Pokemon you get to capture."

A) Again, neither the source, nor the Google translated version say that beating MewTwo releases the legendary birds. It simply says beating the Hall of Fame will make the birds appear.
B) Even reading the translation makes it obvious they're just post game stuff.

"There is one more detail, however. There will be a new set of battles with five trainers, that seem to translate to ‘battle trial’ or ‘battle license examinations.’ These may or may not be connected to the Battle Institute."

A) This is just the Battle Maison and could have easily been figured out with simple context clues.

Overall, this is a poor translation and makes me wonder where they got terms like DLC nothing on ANY level suggests that.

It's so wrong it's funny. How can people be this clueless and do so little research?

admiralvic3713d ago

"and do so little research?"

Doesn't this imply research? I honestly believe they saw this posted today or recently, jumped to the conclusion it was DLC and wrote a post about it. However, the real problem is that it's just fundamentally wrong.

The article doesn't mention DLC, so I wonder how they came to that conclusion baffles me. The article explains exactly how to get these things, even with broken Google Translate translations, yet they seemed baffled. Heck, I'm still confused how they got the town name wrong. It's mentioned one time and they just decide to chop it in half for some arbitrary reason.

@admiralvic "Doesn't that imply research?"
Good point XD

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.

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.
