I wonder how the HMs are going to work now that every pokemon has a OW sprite, especially surf.

*cough*
I think if you use an HM move, you would switch your pokemon out for the move user, and then put your pokemon back out when it's over.
But, if you use surf or waterfall, water pokemon can swim behind you.

What would strength look like?

maybe your pokemon would punch the rock?

They are very long.
If you want a better picture, chuggaconnory of youtube, made walkthroughs; you can probably figure out how long it is using those.

those games should last you a few months

well mother 3 you could beat in about a week? if you play casually
plus i played it in japanese with a word doc of translations!

earthbounds longer but still a goody

I'm assuming there probably going to throw in HM/usable TM moves for some pokemon but I have some doubts

maybe for fly and surf, but the rest might just be thrown out from the final version of the games :<

No, the greatest Pokemon game ever would have Tackle fully animated, shut up.
SHUT UP. But yeah this is sounding prettier.

That's something I always liked about the stadium series. The Pokemon actually did an animation for each move they did. Sure there wasn't one for every move, but at least there were some. That and I always laugh a bit when I remember the first time I used my hacked Magicarp with random moves like Thunder and Fly on Stadium 1. Its hilarious seeing a Magicarp flop around for a second before shooting out electricity or breathing fire.

holy shit


her sprite is nice.

and the map. looks like there may be new areas!

first 2 screens were in the newer corocoro, for some reason no one noticed it(i did though).

the official site just put up images from the magazine plus a few new ingame shots.

The exact same as before, but if the pokemon following you is used, the vanish temporarily.

What, you think they're going to put in additional effort? :V

Well, I was thinking if the sprites were already there, the just might place the trainer on top of the pokemon while its in the water for surf/waterfall.
Everything else would probably be a lot easier.

Also the map is HUGE, so many changes. This is turning out to be much more of a remake than FRLG was, which to me was all about graphics (even though pokemon isn't a very pretty game anyway)

I bet this game is going to take FOR EVER to save. Wonder how bad "Saving a lot of data" is going to be

You vs. silver battle! Check out the new sprites:
