Thread: Thursday, April 15th Update Speculation

I wonder if they'll fix that minor problem with Zoroark's shadow. That thing bugs the hibadabajibis outa me!!!

Thanks Ryuu.

Bridge shot: Looks like a person with a backpack facing away.

In general: The character sprites look a lot better. You can tell where your arms and legs are; you're still squashed but not as much; of course, there's a distortion when the view peels back, like in the city one.

One thing I notice about the bridge: it dips ahead. The trainer is about to go over an incline. I have absolutely no idea what the vehicle at the forefront is, though. It'll be neat to see this in motion and watch trucks pass below. As for the pokecenter at the base of a skyscraper, I must ask if you've been to New York because they have to do that. It usually doesn't lead to those upper floors. The pokecenter just takes up the lower floors.

The cave looks like it could be called "Crystal Cave" (at least in my opinion).

Seeing as Zoroark is a Dark type Pokemon, that could be apart of his attack.

That looks like Dark Pulse though.

I don't know. Or maybe it could be could "Quartz Cave!"

(very unlikely, but, the new underground!)

I love the city shot it looks pretty epic and realistic, of course I would laugh my ass off if (even if it's not likely in the least) they spent so much effort on that city that there's not enough room for the rest of the region. I'm kidding but that's how nice the city shot looks, okay granted in order to be really nice you'd have to ignore the tiny people, but still pretty nice.

And it kind of seems like we'll get a 360 degree motion here with the city, I'd love it if that were true, it might be awkward though, so if it is possible to get a 360 degree view, any chance there's 360 degree movement (or diagonal movement)? Since that one bridge staircase thing (left bottom) in the city shot is kind of at weird angle since it doesn't look completely going left and looks like it's going at a low angle downward.

Yeah, my city has similar buildings; particularly in older ones, that aren't that tall. But there isn't much in a videogame more dissapointing than a bunch of dead space, and buildings with no entrance that exist just to make the overworld look larger, without actually adding any depth.

I'm hoping the Pokecenter will make use of some of those extra floors. Maybe the city we're seeing there is the "Department Store" equivalent of B&W's region, and the Pokemon Center has been completely merged with the department store, with the other deparments being on the upper floors.

Thats a good idea. That would make it easier to heal your pokemon and shop too. This way you dont have to run around the whole damn town.

You know, now that I look more closely at the city shot, I notice that the road leading in seems to be off center if the road below the player is part of the same road. Maybe the entire thing does rotate as you walk around the perimeter.

Does anyone else thing that the male character has a pokeball on his hat?

his hat appears to be on backwards.

I dont think his hat is on backwards. It looks like theres some pink on it plus a pokeball symbol. Also it looks like there is a bill on the front of his hat too.
