Gameplay Speculation/Discussion Thread

I wish they would put the orange islands in and the pikan island with the rare pink pokemon.
And hopefully the crystal onix.

Won't happen. Ever. Sorry to disappoint.

[BBtheASH]

Oh my God.....

I freaking love the animations for Swift, Future Sight(?), Trump Card(?), and Focus Blast(?) (Not too sure about the last one..).
What's even cooler is that there's a hill in the background of the battlefield, was that there before? If not, I hope this means the battlefield, even if in the same area, changes just a little bit with stuff in the background, and I'm not just talking about weather and the time of day.

tht would b very nice...im all for more dynamic scenery, scenery tht changes depening on actual localized location.

How will sky drop be animated?

putting Orange Island in is possible, I doubt it will happen in X/Y, though. Maybe when they start using another area in Japan as a region.

However, pink Pokemon and crystal Onix are much less likely to happen.

Not trying to burst your bubble, but I'm pretty sure all of those are 0% likely to happen.

I know this has been said millions of times, but Games =/= Anime...

I hope to see Surfing Pikachu and Flying Pikachu make a return. Kinda sucks they couldn't transfer from Gen IV to Gen V.

Also, I hope they release a Gen VI console game MUCH more similar to the N64's Gen I Pokemon Stadium. I miss being able to transfer large numbers of pokemon (and items) all at once to an outside storage location, then transfer from there to another game. Trading one pokemon at a time is SO unnecessarily time consuming. You should be able to trade an entire box at once if so desired. And only transferring items by having pokemon hold them while traded gets tedious. So yeah... I miss that old game if only for that feature.

One feature I would love to see is evolutions mid battle. I know its highly unlikely but it would still be awesome.

Would be cool, when you level up maybe when your foe is about to change Pokemon?

Although I've never played it, Battle Revolution just seemed like half a game compared to the Stadium games. Wasn't just the trading, but all the extra features like the mini games, playing the GB games on the tv and the Pokemon school. The extra dex info in there was really useful when I was trying to complete the Pokedex on Silver. Not quite so necessary now, what with the same info being so easy to find on the internet, but for nostalgia purposes it'd be nice.

And yeah, I'd love to see Surfing and Flying Pikachu come back. Spent ages trying to get one on the Pokewalker, (never had any luck). Maybe make them a reward from the console game that can be transferred to X/Y, like the surfing Pikachu from PBR.

I'd love to see a Stadium game for the Wii U. However I do want it to be much better than PBR, one more like Stadium and Stadium 2 would be much appreciated.

I also think at this point there will be a least one way to get both surfing and flying Pikachu in each gen due to not being able to transfer HM moves.

Flying Pikachu is available for 5th Gen from an event in Worlds.
Surfing Pikachu.....at this point we'll never going to see a Surfing Pikachu for 5th Gen.

I know, what I meant with my post is, from all those ideas, the only one that has a very tiny chance of actually happening is putting the Orange Island in, and even then, it's a very tiny chance and it's definitely not going to be on this region. So yeah, I actually agree that it will never happen.

What about the possibility to: combine some attacks. Not all attacks but just a few attacks.

Combination attacks already exist. The only combination attacks I know of are the Grass/Fire/Water Pledge.

But it would interesting to have more combination attacks.

It would certainly spice up things in double and triple battles, offer new strategies and such. Maybe a Gym Leader or someone can use combination move? That would be cool.

Would love combinations
I think they could bring back contests and that would help too.
Sounds awesome

[Hankka]

I wonder if we could have some Pokemon fusions as well. That would be seriously awesome!

[Wulava]

Chances of implementation? 0%.

Yes, it is possible, but you realize that they have to create models, stats, movesets, dex entries, and other necessary stuff for EACH and EVERY Pokemon fusion, right? There will be thousands of combinations to consider. I don't think Gamefreak would consider making a feature that is not fit for a Pokemon game.

Also, it doesn't make sense introducing new Pokemon if you can just fuse and create new ones out of existing creatures.

round also works this way
i would like to see how they would do combination attacks like say a priority combined with a negative priority move

[confuser987]

Do you guys want good/old rods back?

[Yveltal96]

Do you guys want good/old rods back?

yes!
i hate how you can't fish until the end of the story
i want my speed EVs from magikarps back
also i want a gyrados again

How do you see pokemon transfers working this time round? If X and Y are available as downloads from the eShop, then that would be easy.

I could also seeing us get some sort of app on 3DS that we transfer BW/B2W2 pokes to.

Any more ideas?

If we could download from the eShop, I think it'd be cool if you got some bonus content for downloading both, the game becoming Pokemon XY with some additional benefits and different / extra plot maybe?

in all honesty i think it will work the same way as it did in black and white

Still needing two DS's? I'd hope not. What was so good about the transfers from 3rd gen to 4th gen was that you only needed one console.
