Looks really good...but why does Pikachu use its anime cry? I guess the rest of the Pokemon are going to keep their in-game cries.

A wild Pikachu just like that? I hope that's in the final version. It would be awesome to be able to get a Pikachu right off the bat.

Man I hope so. Pikachu is always in my team when available like that.
Everything in this is just for the demo. While a wild Pikachu is likely, it won't be like this

People aren't complaining about it yet but I'm guessing that several months after the game is out, we'll start seeing complaints about how battles load so slow and how it takes so long for a battle to start.
Just like every previous time we started a new generation. Slightly disappointed that battle loading looks like it takes longer than in B2W2. But I'm willing to accept that for awesome THREE DEE

Man, the battles look so good. As far as I am concerned, Pokémon Stadium 3 just became obsolete.
Why would you do that?

The battle intro and scenes look so... dynamic...
Too bad no direct feed audio, though. I actually entered this thread mostly because of the hope for direct feed audio.

Someone did a comparison and it's pretty much the same
Pokemon battle animations always felt slow when training. :/

Can we turn off battle animations though

Oh yeah? Good to know. I'm sure people will still complain though once they get into training.
Yeah, they're redoing the cries and instead of revamping Pikachu's, they seem to have given it its anime cry

That 2-second waiting time before the menus (fight/bag/etc.) come up on the touchscreen, and the 4-second black screen after each encounter are concerning.
It's a real shame they haven't done that across all of the other Pokémon, although I can imagine the volume of work that would require.

Hell no. Having anime voices for the Pokémon would be horrible. Japanese ones perhaps, but the English ones are typically horrible.
They're redoing classic Pokémon though, recording from the PGS have Mewtwo and Crobat having updated cries to bring them up to the quality of Gen 4 & 5s

Pokemon actually saying their own name as a form of communication was always really damn stupid anyway. Keep that shit out.

I thought the reason for doing it in the anime was to reinforce the name for marketing reasons. Then again some were too badass to do this with (Charizard roars)...
Regarding cries I guess the Factor 5 work will never be revisited (I would use the argument it should not as the 8-bit sounds are iconic like the Dragon Quest menu sound effects but then anime Pikachu makes me feel that argument is not right either).
With the Japanese anime, for the most part they manage to do it so it still sounds like an animal or creature making the noise, but it sounds like their name. Whereas in the dub, it sounds like it's a person saying the name

I don't know what's up with that 2 second delay from when both pokemon are released and when the bottom menu screen shows up.
Well, that may be a demo thing. We've seen footage of a multiplayer battle and it didn't seem to have such delays

Oh yeah, no more same "Go! Name!" dialog!
I want it now with that bulky Sylveon D:
Seems to be the demo thing, since the 2vs2 match didn't show any delay. I hope that's the case.

I always thought they named the pokemons in universe after the sound they make or something.

Most of them don't even utter their names.
With that said, outside of Pikachu they should really just be growls like what Gen IV onwards did with the cry.
Can I watch it somewhere?
I hope this issue is limited to the demo versions, which are apparently older builds of the game.
I mean, the 3ds is a decent piece of hardware, and the games are all stored on flash memory...why would there be such prominent loading times?

Forget that. Talking Pikachu's? Yellow is the game that became obsolete just now!

Do we have a video comparison? That would be quite useful.

As expected though, it's the same demo in PGS only in non-Japanese.
I think it's so you notice your Pokémon (Chespin in this case) looking back at you.
