Pokemon is multiplayer yes.

But the thing is that OR and AS are bringing new Mega evolution so Pokemon XY could not be fully compatible with them, making OR/AS the only game with all features and Pokemon.

The online community could move there. Of course XY won't be left totally as the userbase is huge. But that's a risk if it's not fully compatible.

They can always update the game to support new stuff.

 

They could, but haven't said they will. That will be a first for Nintendo to match a game to add content from anothe game. I am not very hopeful.

I'll be skipping since the last Pokemon game I played was Sapphire, and I put around 1,000 hours into it (top that!) over the course of four years. And all on the same save file...

But hey, I'll be starting Pokemon Y when I get my 3DS back. It'll be my first 'mon since Sapphire. :)

I'm only getting it because it's a remake of Hoenn (My favorite region). Other than that, if it was a remake of any other region I probably wouldn't care

I agree with you! Gen 4 was simply so forgettable and bland if you ask me.. The battles were also kinda slow! :-/

This is a massive understatement. The battles were PAINFULLY slow.

Gen 4 was the generation that made me quit Pokémon. I tried playing the original D/P once and got bored, stopped after less than an hour. This is when I started thinking the franchise was going downhill - I gave it another chance with HG/SS and after noticing the game was still slow and they changed the music for worse (New Bark Town) I was already very skeptical... Then I saw that annoying girl with the Marill and instantly quit.

I only came back to the series when B/W were released in the US... what's funny is that whenever I saw anything about this game before it came out, I thought it was going to be even worse than Gen 4, but somehow I was eager for it to come out. Downloaded it (yes, this was all through emulation, please don't kill me) on launch day while still thinking it would be garbage, started playing it and actually thought it was pretty damn good.

Eventually, Gen 5 became my favorite generation at the time, and along with Ocarina of Time 3D they were the main reason behind me actually getting a 3DS and finally stop playing Pokémon on emulators. I have given Gen 4 another chance since, and while I did play HeartGold for some hundreds of hours (even beat the game twice) and also beat Diamond, I still think it's the worst gen by miles. I do feel, though, that if I had originally played Gen 3 on the GBA instead of emulation, I would hate it as well, since it was also very slow-paced.


So you quit Pokemon because of Gen 4 yet still played Gen 5 and went back and played Gen 4 anyway..interesting..

I think I'm burnt out on Pokemon, so I'll probably skip this one as well.

Ask Naughty Dog if it's worth it, lol.

I'll play it because 3rd gen was my favorite. In terms of multiplayer, here's something they could potentially add: co-op multiplayer, where you can play the battle frontier with others. Other than that, to each their own :)

You can do it in XY. You can do 2vs2 against the CPU at the fight mansion.

Sorry, local online multiplayer I meant.
