[Heien]

How long is the gameplay of the demo?

How long is the gameplay of the demo?

around an hour.
15 minutes if you only count the first mission.

All these new features and still we cant see Pokemon battle? I want to see Pikachu run up to another Pokemon and backhand it for a Double Slap! I want to see Snorlax jump up in the air, crush a Pokemon and then roll over for a Slam attack, and above all I am beyond sick of these mechanized Pokemon sounds. Why cant we have real Pokemon voices? All they do is say their names! Ive been wanting this for years and still nothing.

That window on the bottom looks like itll get real annoying real fast. IMHO that was unneeded.

it was obvious that it'll use XY engine and the bottom screen is switchable.

The demo isn't bringing back any nostalgia. I'm concerned!

Wait, are you already playing the demo?
If yes, is it on a American 3DS?

GateWay+EU version. Hoping to snag a US copy for my legitimate 3DS though!

 

[endoverend]

Wait, does the US demo come out tomorrow?

Yes

 

[aliak11]

Yes

I thought it came out on the 21st.

No, it comes October 20, in other words, tomorrow.

I am so disappointed that mega flygon and mega milotic haven't revealed yet. Especially for flygon , I think that it's a signature pokemon for this generation...

 

[CathyRina]

there are rumors that milotic, slaking, siviper and zangoose get megas based on this picture

Spoiler

Based on the information hackers dug out from the demo,
there is NO mega flygon and mega milotic.

I want them too, but chances are they won't be in the final game
(as the demo is based on the final game, except they removed most of the data not required in the demo).


Well, they can last minute program those two megas in, but highly unlikely,
as I'm imagining that they should have already begun cartridge production, to prepare to have them shipped out,
to have them sold on the same day worldwide.

Pokémon now feels like how Pokémon should have been in 2005.

I am CRAZY excited. I love when they remake the games tbh. In the past, I loved being able to catch my old favorites again. Johto was, and always will be my favorite region, so HG/SS were amazing for me. Sapphire and Ruby were the first 2 games that I had bought with my own money as a kid. They hold symbolic value to me. And these remakes are adding so much extra. The games look great. i can't wait for them to be released.

Now I see, you were right, the demo indeed will come only on 21.
20 was the last day you could subscribe yourself in the site to receive the newsletter with the demo code.

If so, I hope they are planning an update/patch to add more megas. Nintendo has shown improvements in this section (Mario kart for example). But you know... It's up to Gamefreak...

I've been playing Pokemon since Pokemon Yellow. Granted I've missed a few of the games, never owned a DS. So part of me is okay with these remakes, but the main part of me is, come on man, some of us want really new stuff.

I'm cool with what is going on, but I hope the next Pokemon Game is something new, not adding new stuff on top of old shit. I mean, I guess I never need to go back and play black & white since they will probably be remade in the next 2 years. lol

you got really new stuff just last year. and the year before that you got bw2 and before that bw. and a bunch of spinoff games too.

If so, I hope they are planning an update/patch to add more megas. Nintendo has shown improvements in this section (Mario kart for example). But you know... It's up to Gamefreak...

mario kart patched one gamebreaking bug for online play only. they wont patch in more pokemon halfway through. new megas for new games.
