Nintendo E3/ND 2013 Thread: That's A Wrap! The Wait Begins for E3 2014!

The new PSS (Player Search System) will allow players to search for others locally or globally (via Wi-Fi) to battle and trade

X and Y designed so that players can be connected at all times

PSS is on lower screen of 3DS, tracks Friends, Acquaintances, and Passersby.

Other players appear on the PSS. Method 1: local wireless. method 2: internet

Passersby - PSS recognizes other players playing XY. If you interact with one of anyone on that list, they become an Acquaintance.

Split into Friends, Acquaintances and Passersby. Interact with Passersby and they become an Acq. Then you can register them as a Friend

Serebii.net @SerebiiNet

Various options for battles. There is a default set, but you can change things re: special Pokemon and other rules.

Serebii Updates: Skrelp is a Poison- and Water-type Pokémon. Clauncher is a Water-type Pokémon. http://www.serebii.net/index2.shtml

Another new Pokémon, Noivern, is being used to demo the awesome 3D modeling process used for Pokémon X and Pokémon Y.

Boom Burst: New Normal-type move.

GameXplain @GameXplain

Pokémon-Aime is the new way of communicating with Pokémon. . . pet them, give them treats, play mini-games with them

(Yes, I know I'm probably going to do a lot of concurrent posts. Just go with it.)

Pokemon sounds are more advanced. Some resemble growls but pikachu says pikachu

Strong bond will result in more critical hits or better dodging.

A new battle scenario has just been announced! Get ready for Horde Encounters!

5-against-1 battles? That's gonna be tough!

But a Horde might include a variety of different Pokemon. Not just 1 type. Designed to make wild encounters more thrilling.

Dilemma: only introducing strong Pokemon in battles would ruin the balance, because you can capture. So - Hordes. Challenge but balanced.

Trainers will challenge you to Sky Battles. Limited set of Pokemon can participate - mostly Flying types.

Talonflame, a new Fire- and Flying-type Pokémon, has just been revealed in a Sky Battle demo against Noctowl!

Talonflame's defining characteristic is its speed

Haunter has a levitate ability so it can fight in a Sky Battle. Now fighting a Aerodactyl.

Q: Multiple save files? A: No. Just one.

Q: Importing Pokemon from previous games? A: They're working on it. DS/3DS comm. barrier is slightly tricky.

Q: Will there be DLC? A: Hoped that wouldn't be asked, but they are exploring the possibilities. No announcements.

More info on Fairy-type? Tried to keep balance but right now Dragon-types have advantage

Q: How many new Pokemon? A: No comment.

Serebii.net @SerebiiNet

Q: Explanation for Fairy type being discovered and applying to older Pokemon? A: Dragon type has had an advantage. Wanted balance.

Serebii Updates: Player Search System is not region locked http://www.serebii.net/index2.shtml

Q: Why base this location on France? A: France has a focus on a beauty and that was a focus for X&Y. Wanted to see how to express.

Wait, their reasoning for Fairies being strong against Dragons is because they've had an advantage? I call major BS.

Half of the used field of Dragons have a 4x weakness against Ice and most of them have average speed, thus relying on DD strategies to be proficient. Plus, they're only super effective against themselves, so where's the advantage in that?

As a Dragon user myself, I am dissapoint Game Freak.

Pokémon Red and Blue on Virtual Console? They don't want it on a home console. Think they misunderstood that VC is on 3DS too!

Q: Considered tweaking EV and IV to make being competitive easier? A: X&Y will make some of these ideas more visible and intuitive.

GameXplain @GameXplain

Character customization. You can choose your hair style and set your appearance

8 directional movement confirmed

Q: Player movement appears to be 8-way. Why not full analog? A: Keeping a grid-style bc of tracking Pokemon encounters. But freer movement.

Q: Didn't hear buuut A: Music will have different feel than past games bc it's less modified/compressed than in older games.

Q: How does Mewtwo change form? Do you want him in Smash? A: -long pause- Can't explain "Mewthree" Pokemon. Can't talk about other games.

Mewtwo in Smash Bros? *lots of laughter* Can't say. Sakurai-san shouts out "we're thinking about it!"

(Interesting @ that last tweet. )
