Worth pointing out that Gamexplain confirked from info gained in interviews that ride Pokémon completely replace HM stuff.  So no more of any of that.  Also, megaevolution is still in the game, it's tied to the z-ring iirc.

I think they did a great job with the Smash Tournament and the Nintendo World Championship at e3 (Maybe better commentary and better switching between players on Splatoon)

I was originally worried about ride Pokemon, that you had to have them in your party to use them.. but you can call them out whenever, like with the Eon Flute and Latios/Latias in ORAS, so I don't have to worry about that

Really like this since they don't waste up a move slot, and like in ORAS, I didn't even have a Pokemon with Fly since I just used the soar ability

Nintendo sure are on fire on those more focused Directs!It seems there is an Animal Crossing mini direct incomming on November 2th.(and seems to be japan only)

He goes to specultae about a possible Switch announcement there, but I think its safe to say its about the mobile game, so I would advise to ignore his obvious hype.

Monster Hunter Double Cross for the 3DS got announced! But March 18 though...........

Im Hyped! 

The recent gamexplain video saud that Nintendo said that they are releasing AC and FE mobile game by March 2017.  

With Super Mario Run coming, there isn't much space in between them. But this could make up for the first few months of 2017. 

Gross, I played just over 100 hours of 4U and X combined but it could easily be a 1000 hour game for me if it was on an actual console with an actual controller. 3DS is garbage for MonHun imo.
