Pokémon X & Y Battle Interface (Partially) Revealed

Fans had yet to see a glimpse of the battle interface for 6th generation of Pokémon games, but Nintendo recently posted new screenshots to its 3DS eShop. These confirm that an options menu resembling post-Gen IV games will be continued in X & Y, but with a much smoother graphical flair which focuses on circles and ovals instead of rounded boxes.

A notable omission is the helpful clock that appeared in Pokémon Black 2 and White 2. Luckily the 3DS Home button will bring up system information, including the time, if a player doesn’t have an external clock handy.

Excited? Disappointed? We want to hear!

  1. I’m just so relieved they kept the old tiny sprites pattern (on the fight option). Some things should never change 🙂

  2. Has anyone noticed that the vast majority of pokemon that IAMTHELEAKER revealed are dual-typed? Are there no monotypes? *skeptical face*

  3. I’m assuming that this post is gonna be a repeat of Dae Asks…with the IAMTHELEAKER buisness..(not that I’m complaining or anything, I like reading the ‘rumours’ as much as the next guy)

  4. Okay, quit this IAMTHELEAKER stuff for now.

    Everyone is strongly discouraged from posting about him or asking him questions until we have a post up later today. I’ll start deleting new things without warning in this thread.

  5. Hey IAMTHELEAKER, because you’re like a psychic, have you noticed the 14 trademarked Pokémon names on Pokexperto?

  6. All I’ve read so far is the inconvenience of not being able to see time, wi-fi etc from a BATTLE. A battle does not take all that long, about 30 seconds in a wild encounter. You do not need to know the time and wi-fi for this and is completely unnecessary and would be a waste of time to program this into a BATTLE.

  7. So I came across this image on Google images and wondered what it was referring too.

    On closer inspection, it looks as if those brown patches are where you can plant berries like back in R/S/E. at least that’s what I’m thinking.

    What do you guys think?
