These days almost 10 years ago the Pokémon XY announcement trailer was shown, what was your reaction after watching the trailer? And what do you remember of that day?
These days almost 10 years ago the Pokémon XY announcement trailer was shown...
Carson Parker
Austin Gray
>Holy shit, Pokemon finally in 3D, this is gonna be so cool!
And then it blew. I remember counting down the days with a friend in my class.
Jonathan Cook
saw it on TV first I'm pretty sure, I was like "wait you mean it isn't a new generation on the DS? piss offfff need to buy a new console"
there was like no emulating of this game, too
Ian Brooks
I thought the graphics were mid, since I played a-lot of the Stadium, Colosseum type games before. But the starters were cute.
Ethan Wilson
My friend had been saying the next game would be 3D, I said there would be one more gen of sprites before they made the move. The trailer proved him right.
That's all I remember.
Cameron Fisher
XY's leak season was fucking great. Too bad the games themselves are mediocre
Elijah Reyes
The mystery of Nymphia...Nobody knew what the fuck it was.
Landon Bell
Still one of the best trailers ever
Connor Brown
i remember posting about which starter team i was on and being pretty hyped about Yvelta's design
i am still salty about fennikin's final evo.
Parker Young
Now it's the most universally hated generation of the franchise. How sad.
Luke Ward
As it should be since it started the downfall. The only tragedy is that people have deluded themselves into thinking that SM/USUM/SWSH were better.
Levi Sullivan
I came here to discuss it with anons.
Caleb Stewart
i made fun of it on facebook and some weeb girl i was crushing on unfriended me after that
Bentley Miller
Not hated than PLA.
Leo Morales
>universally hated
I thought people were ambivalent about it.
Luis Perry
>49621476
Already revising history are we?
Liam Cox
it's funny how a lot of people didn't like froakie and even greninja when it was leaked but then it became one of the most popular pokemon ever
Cameron Adams
The exact moment this franchise died
Jason Cooper
That's Gen 5 and you know it
Ayden Peterson
The sequel saved it. Gen 6 on the other hand still has people crying about how they were robbed of Pokemon Z, the game that would totally fix everything.
Mason Nguyen
The beginning of the downfall of the Franchise.
Asher Reyes
>the game that would totally fix everything.
I'm in the boat that it wouldn't have fixed everything since Sun and Moon would probably still have been as shit as it was, but the worst case scenario would be that we get another game with the PSS, Super Training, and Eternal Floette, and Sun and Moon doesn't randomly shove Zygarde into it for no reason.
The best case scenario is that there was a positive reception and that convinced Game Freak to not gimp Sun and Moon by removing the gyms at the last minute and rebranding the series to be a Yokai Watch ripoff.
It would have been a net positive, either way.
Austin Hall
>And then it blew
Then why was it so well received among both fans and critics?
