Your Pokemon X/Y Thoughts (SPOILERS ALERT)

[retrolinkx]

I played it at Eurogamer today, so I can give some insight.

I believe running shoes have been replaced with Roller Blades, as you can glide around using them. You can move diagonally of course, which is interesting.

Anyhow, stuff you probably didn't know.

Whenever you start a battle, instead of there being a silhouette across the screen, it's actually a small animation saying "Trainer Class wants to battle" and then the battle proceeds.

Also, instead of small grass, there are new areas such as fields of flowers, and I think bushes, you also are forced to walk through them, which means that the rollerblades only work on normal grass.

Also, Pokémon now roam freely, as in you can see them throughout the area you are in, instead of never seeing them, or them being outside of their Pokéball inside a house or something.

All I could do seemed to be interact with them, and that's it. I don't know if you could catch them. I doubt it, mostly because it was be a easy way to find Pokémon.

Uh, the battling was pretty much the same, except for new animations and such.

Oh, and Megaevolutions aren't just something that works for one turn, they are instead something that lasts until the Pokemon faints. In the demo I was given a Mewtwo, which I turned into Mewthree, and it used the stayed that way for the entire battle.

There are three rivals it seems, and another Male Pokémon Prof.

Apart from that, I can't say anything else.

Oh, and the 2DS is really comfy.
