  1. I remember the time my username on Showdown was “Mashed Defect 3” after I was disappointed with the ending haha.

    Anyway, as I’ve said on the other page, yesterday was meh and showed nothing of interest to me at least, I hope this day is any better.

  3. So, if that alleged leaked schedule for the Treehouse is legit, S/M will have Synchro Mega Evolution, a 5th move slot for ”special attacks”, Mega Lanturn(Water/Electric with Drizzle) and Mega Sunflora(Grass/Fire with Drought), and a new Rotom form (Cleaner Rotom) which is Electric/Poison.

    Thoughts?

    • And it looks like that bird Pokemon we saw in the very beginning will be announced, if that schedule is true. pepeck or whatever it’s name was.

      Reply

    • It’s not real. It never is. Why would a Vaccum Cleaner be Poison type? And why would Rotom get a new battle form like that instead of making is Dex form battleable? And why let a Pokemon mega evolve AND get a 5th move? That leak is absurd.

      Plus, pepeck is a name from a previously debunked leak, and Gigareki isn’t a Pokemon.

      Reply

      • Because Poison represents waste, garbage and pollution and what does a vaccuum cleaner do? Gigareki was trademarked by Game Freak in March lol

        Reply

        • A vaccuum cleans up trash, not makes it. Doesn’t make sense. And yes, Gigareki was trademarked, but not in the same way as the other names. It didn’t have its name written out like the others, it wasn’t trademarked by a proxy, and it wasn’t tagged like all the other names were, indicating that it’s not a Pokemon. Remember Solitabaa? Everyone thought it was a Pokemon, but it ended up being Pocket Card Jockey, a separate game made by GameFreak. Gigareki is probably a similar case.

          Reply

        • You do realize anybody can make these right
          Anyone could slap on a extra long piece of printer paper and type whatever, and even more so all the “official logo” can be taken off the internet faded out and put through a non color printer
          Pathetic attempt

          But I will say I like the name Pepeck that is all

          Reply

          • I’m not saying its real lol. Gigareki however was one of the names filed for trademark by GF back in March, along with Solgaleo, Lunaala and Marshadow.

          • I’m all for new Megas (I kinda like Mega Lanturn, if true, not sure about Sunflora tho, I find it rather useless)

          • Woke up early 4Am and I have a bad habit of never getting back to sleep
            And for some reason there was a clanging sound in the attic from the wind, and I’m directly below it
            And i had to listen to it like clockwork which drove me nuts
            And there’s no food in my place so I had to use my funds to buy food which I hate doing
            And my dogs are being a pain
            Also my gazebo is filled with leaves which takes forever to sweep,
            And my parents on my ass for what my plans are for today

            So yeah I’m not peachy today

        • I doubt it means anything, but the type-font (especially the 1 at the bottom of the page) reminds me of software LaTeX, which is commonly used in mathematics papers.

    • This is barf covered bologna
      Synchro Evolution is just beyond unneeded
      I truly hope this is fake just so this madness ends

      Reply

      • Agree with you, I think it should just stay anime-exclusive. I have no idea how it would work in the games. The best I can think of is something with Amie.

        But I’m fearing its coming. Also, that ”secret” Iwanko and the starters share probably has something to do with it.

        Reply

          • Also possible. But Iwanko is a dog and dogs often create strong bonds with humans which would explain Synchro.

            Again I dont want it near the games, but it wouldn’t surprise me one bit if we do get it.

          • WHY WOULD SYNCHRO BE YOUR FIRST CHOICE
            MEGA EVOLUTION IS BONDS
            THIS FABLED SYNCHRO IS FUSION
            AAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHH

          • Ash-Greninja is immensly popular, especially in Japan. One of the few reasons I can think of as to why they would want to introduce Synchro.

          • Gamefreak has NOTHING TO DO WITH THE ANIME
            And they aren’t trying to introduce Synchro
            WE ARE (We as in everybody but me)
            They have nothing even remotely related to fusing with Pokemon
            Everyone is being colossal boneheads LITERALLY NO INFORMATION SUPPORTING THIS

            This is a special Greninja thing and a writing tactic to give Ash a Pseudo-Mega to complete the Rival Triangle

            Ash’s Greninja is a descendant of the Ninja Hero’s Greninja but DOUBTFUL ANYONE KNOWS since nobody follows the anime

          • I knew this about Greninja mate, I actually follow the anime lol (I set my alarm for every new episode)

            I was just thinking out load for explanations.

          • Ash’s Greninja is NOT a descendant of the Ninja Hero’s Greninja in any way at all.

            Ash’s Froakie hatched from an egg which was then given to Professor Sycamore by Nurse Joy. Right from the very start it’s always been different and it never got on with any of the trainers it started with until Ash came along.

  4. This should be interesting. Honestly Nintendo only really doing a few select things will make their stuff WAY more interesting. The problem with these conferences and directs for Nintendo is they are filled with stuff that is useless or boring. There are only really a few tings from each company that a lot of people can really get excited about and the rest is just fluff. Nintendo focusing on a few tings I thin will really help them. Anyway I only have one question. So was that special thing for Pokemon on the 16th just a rumor or was it confirmed? I seem to see less and less about as we come into this week and I get the feeling it’s not even a thing. Unless someone can tell me otherwise.

    Reply

  5. I’m going to be trying to watch all of the press conferences. Nintendo isn’t really having a press conference, it’s more of just gameplay. I’m looking forward to mostly Sony’s and Nintendo’s E3 stuff. Zelda Wii U is already looking better with the screenshots and the upcoming S/M news will have my heart on life support! I seriously cannot wait any longer for tomorrow!

    • The alleged (fake) schedule aside. I do hope we’re getting to see some new mons. The bird frame from the February reveal, I would like to know what it is xd

      Reply

  6. So in honor of waiting for E3 I will play a game for the day
    Super Paper Mario (Up the the space level)
    Majora’s Mask (Great bay temple)
    Maybe even Ty the Tasmanian Tiger 2
    I may treat myself and buy Pokemon Blue

    Reply

    • I would play Super Paper Mario up to the Space Level. Level 4-4 (Which was the last level in the space levels) was always my favorite one because of the music and the puzzles.

      Reply

    • I bought Super Paper Mario from a clearance section many years ago. I’m so glad I did, because (even though I know a lot of people don’t), I loved it sooo much

      Reply

      • My Aunt got it for me the night it came out
        I loved every moment of it

        But those days are over Paper Mario as a series is officially dead, drowned, torched to a crisp, and scattered in the breeze and the particles decomposed

        The only way to get a traditional RPG is to have them make a new IP which is basically Paper Mario but in a different skin
        (My fan game was a Reverse Partners in time where Bowser Jr from the future and kidnaps Mario and drags him into the future so Present Bowser can successfully take over (and he did))

  9. Doing some Alchemic research and saw mentions of AZoth, Sol and Luna. Pokemon has really thought about the inspirations for these games, it makes me appreciate these games even more.

    Reply

  10. I have a feeling there will be a pig pokemon in this region available early on. Wild pigs are supposedly a big problem in Hawaii (I think). They do a lot of damage to endangered wildlife. That being said, I wonder if GF would demonize them (if there is a pig pokemon) and make them a dark type or maybe a fighting type.

  11. So i cant find the live stream anywhere. Nintendo hasnt put it on youtube, their twitch is offline, no one else is streaming. Im getting anxious. I need my bountiful helping of Pokemon news. Can someone help me?

    Reply

  12. I know this is a Nintendo/Pokemon site, but I want to talk about the other E3 conferences. I know were all looking forward to Nintendo’s stuff, but how do we feel about the others? I would love it if everyone could rank the conferences between A to F (we skip E). I’ll edit my comment later with my opinions on the other conferences.
    EA: D / Their conference was rather boring and they had barely any gameplay. The only cool stuff was Battlefield 1, Fe, and the upcoming Star Wars games.
    Bethesda: B / They announced some interesting titles such as Quake and Prey. The showed gameplay and I felt like a good conference. I had no issues with their conference, even though I’m not to interested in many of their games except Prey.
    Microsoft:
    Ubisoft:
    Sony:
    Nintendo:

    Reply

        • Oh, well I think they showed some good gameplay there. It did seem very similar to the previous game but we still don’t know if there are any new game modes, or features like they added last year. Madden really improved and I’m hoping for a big improvement this year as well.

          Reply

  13. Before the flood of news (and possibly new Megas) I want to state two nitpicks I have with adding Megas at this rate. Firstly, I want GF to add real evolutions when they can rather than a mega. I am sort of scared that they won’t add new evos and just slap on a mega whenever a Pokemon needs a buff. Secondly, making so many Megas makes Pokemon with Megas not as special, and I feel that there as too many. I think they should add 10-12 Megas per generation. The 50+ we got in gen 6 was way too many, even if it was because it debued in gen 6.

    Reply

    • I agree with the necessity of more evolutions. I hope in Generation 7 they pull a Generation 4 and adds a few evolutions to some Pokemon. Mega Evolution needs to continue to expand to various Pokemon that are most wanted to have them. I don’t think they should add a bunch, but I’m hoping for about fifteen new evolutions to keep the concept rather fresh.

      Reply

    • Do you honestly expect a huge flood of news and megas though? I don’t know if details on what they are doing with megas and sycros will come untill closer to the games release. They will probably just show nekoala and the dog and maybe afew other new mons

      Reply

      • And maybe a couple new features like they did with X and Y. But I think they will take this time to give us lots of news. I just think because not much is being showcased, they might give us a good amount of news….

        Reply

      • Because we didn’t even know those Pokemon back then. We still had to get used to Gen 6- Pokemon. You can expect them now with SM coming, but don’t think Gen 7 will get Megas though.

        Reply

        • What bothers me about that though is that Legendaries are an exception to the rule. If you aren’t going to make Megas for the gen, don’t make any Megas. Don’t exempt Legendaries from the rule.

          Reply

    • Personally I liked the amount they introduced in Gen 6, because it helped spice up the matagame, and combined with the fact they only released 70 original Pokemon this gen, it made sense to make the numbers up with Megas.

      Also adding more Megas to ORAS was also favourable as it spiced up the mitagame again mid-gen. Usually we have to wait an entire gen for new stuff to use in battle.

      Personally I’m hoping they add new moves/abilities/megas as DLC (in before everyone shouts at am saying DLC will never happen for Pokemon). I just find battling gets stale quite quick when there’s no need stuff to experiment with.

  14. I’m kinda surprised to find myself more hyped for the Zelda info bomb than Pokemon. But I mean, who can blame me? This game was revealed 2 years ago and now we are finally getting real information about it! Hyyyyyyypppppe!

  15. What is it with Movingg and getting dates messed up lol. In the article it says Monday is the 13th, yeah okay good. Then right after it says Tuesday the 15th .-.

    Reply

  16. I have a theory about Zygardes new forms and the story of SuMo. What if the evil team is trying to use zygarde to control the earth rather than than making eternal day or night and you just have to find a strong Pokemon to fight zygarde and you go to that island to catch Solgaleo or Lunala

    Reply

  17. I know this is random and we probably will only get an answer to this once we have the games, but I really hope Sun and Moon are difficult like Black and White.

    The reason I say this, is because while Black and White wasn’t extremely challenging and I had to grind intensely, it was challenging enough for me to have to work hard to beat some of the bosses (Ghetsis, even N, Alder, some gym leaders).

    It made me work for my victory and I liked that. I have some very fond memories of trying to beat Ghetsis’s hydreigon on a plane to Brazil. It took me a good portion of the flight to figure out my strategy, and earn a little luck to beat him. So I think that Black and White is a good representation of what I think the difficulty should be like in Sun and Moon….

    Reply

    • I don’t know if they would do this because they are only trying to make the games more accessible to little kids but I would still really love this!

      Reply

      • I feel like they are catering too much to the younger fans (the less dedicated fans, usually), and are leaving out stuff for the dedicated older fans (i.e. post game, difficulty, etc.).

        Reply

        • Yeah, didn’t Junichi Masuda state this excuse when asked why the battle frontier was left out of ORAS? I wish they would respect the aging fan base more, but I also understand that they put their target audience first :s

          Reply

      • Well unfortunately this is true… But think about it. You need to understand what your fanbase is. Little kids aren’t going to play throughout the whole game. If they don’t play through the whole game, why bother trying to cater more to an audience that doesn’t even play your game?

        However, Game Freak does listen to critique by the Pokemon community. So fingers crossed we get some difficulty or some difficulty setting before the game…

        Reply

        • I hope you are correct about the difficulty settings. You are right about that they don’t finish the game (my younger brother is living proof to me), so it explains the recent lack of postgame.

          Reply

          • Little kids don’t have time to sit and play a full fledged RPG. They play games that involve tapping on your screen, moving the iPad and shaking. This is because most kids nowadays have short attention spans. So most of them won’t play Pokemon.

            And I think GameFreak learned that with X and Y…..

          • I mean, I wouldn’t generalize people, there are some younger kids who aren’t like that.
            A good amount are like that, but some are not.
            Heck, I sorta have a ‘short attention span’ but that’s cause I get bored quite easily.

          • This is true, not all are like that, but it works as a general statement, because a majority are like that and it is the reason gamefreak is making the games the way they are recently.

          • Of course. Which is why I said most. I know a lot of kids who can sit for hours just listening to music or playing puzzles.

          • I would argue that they learned that with Gen 5, as XY held your hand through the game, had zero difficulty, and had very little postgame. They need to start catering to the dedicated audience, and need to stop trying to make games so easy and short to try to hold the audience of children with short attention spans.

          • Exactly… But they still should try to please the less dedicated audience as well. And I think the Rotom Pokedex is a great way to please both!

        • I mean, when I was little, I tried to play through the whole game, and it was only when I was lost or got stuck that I dropped it.
          The same issue might be there as well 🙂 Not saying all little kids are like me, heck no, but there also might be some like me who act that way.

          Reply

          • That’s also very true.

            But I also don’t want them to make the game as difficult as some before more recent ones. Because some areas of the past games are really really hard. So I hope they can integrate either a difficulty setting or something balanced.

    • Here’s what I want:
      – Easy mode – XY level difficulty
      – Normal mode – Black/White difficulty
      – Hard mode – platinum difficulty
      – “Pokemon master” mode – harder than anything we have seen

      And I want these available from the start.

      Reply

    • I mean, I sorta want that, but I don’t want the huge level gap it had at BW postgame. I never faced Alder and got far because they were like 10+ levels higher than Ghetsis and I had no way of grinding to get there because I get bored easily.

      Reply

        • I know, I’m just putting out there the problem I had with it, which was the huge level gap after completing the game.
          If they had it and fixed that level gap, it would be awesome 🙂

          Reply

          • I know… I really hope that the game is a little challenging since X and Y was so easy, I beat the game in 3 days…..

          • XY was way too easy. I didn’t use the EXP share and Mega evolution to make the game harder, but didn’t lose a battle once, and beat the E4 in one try.

    • Just have an Easy, Normal, and Hard mode of the game. An RPG should scale levels properly without intensive grinding. Honestly, all Pokemon games have been easily for me to beat with minimal grinding. All they need to do is lower and raise levels, increase the amount of Pokemon certain characters use, and the use of items on Easy, Normal, and Hard mode. That would make a perfect Pokemon game for everyone.

    • Earthen’s Extra Salt Sodomy Difficulty Mode: Turbo Hyper Unhinged X
      -All Trainer and Gym Leader Pokemon are EV trained, 10 levels higher and have TM moves
      -Trainer Pokemon hold items and use substitutions and healing items
      -My much much much more obstacles that absolutely forbid exploration without needed HMs
      -All HMs are hidden
      -You can’t use HMs on obstacles without level requirements
      -Wild Pokemon are ten levels lower than you
      -every square of Tall Grass guarantees an encounter
      -Pokemon do not yield EV Points
      -Half EXP Growth
      -Pokemon who reach 0 HP are unusable for a solid hour
      -Your Character must rest and eat
      -TMs crumble after use
      -All items weigh down the trainer
      -And lastly you can only save at Pokecenters 3 times a day

      Reply

      • I love some of your ideas, but some stuff is just downright annoying and would make for some horrible scaling. The ideas of level requirements for HMs, guaranteed Wild Battle on every square, unusable Pokemon at 0 HP, Resting and Eating, and Item weight is just doing to much of an RPG.

        Limiting the players from locations would restrict their freedom in the environment, Wild Battles on every square is just annoying as hell, unusable Pokemon at 0 HP for an hour is just tedious, resting and eating would be unnecessary; for example, Final Fantasy 15 has a feature similar to that, but you don’t even have to do it, it just gives your character buffs in battles. Lastly, item weight is just ridiculous; it would be easier to limit the amount of items a trainer could own.

        Reply

      • All of those sound horrible to me, I think they could make the game hard without making it an funless chore

        Reply

      • This would make the game more of a chore then difficult.

        The only thing that’s needed is to give the NPCs higher leveled, Diverse team and have them use actual strategy.
        Important characters (Gym leaders,Rivals etc) should use High leveled Pokemon with diverse movesets. I don’t want to be able to OHKO everything with just my starter. Force me to switch out, to Actually use strategy

        Reply

    • I don’t know why the games have been getting seemingly easier and easier to beat since right after gen 4. I hated in XY where most of the gym leaders only had maybe like 3 Pokemon each or something like that. And same for the elite four. I mean after the 6th gym, most trainers you face should have a team of at least 4. But for gym leaders, E4, and bosses, they should all have a full party. They need to work to make this whole thing feel conpetitive again. This is a role playing game based upon strategy, it NEEDS to feel challenging again. XY felt like just going through the motions

It’s your choice whether or not to listen to that, but if you wanna last long here, try not to oversell it, another factor is no one will take you seriously…

  20. That Microsoft press conference has me shaking. That beast is going to be roughly 4 TIMES more powerful than the current PS4, with 4K, VR, 60fps capability. And this future is only a year away. Our concept of “generations” is crumbling before us. The future sure looks bright!

      • It’s just the technology that excites me. This is how the Xbox One should have been, but it could not have been realized 3 years ago. People like myself who don’t own an Xbox One are the happiest right now.

        • I don’t own an Xbox and never will. But I do own a PS4 and Sony is going to be doing this too with Neo. THey are like haha you know that system you own? FUCK IT! GIVE US MORE FUCKING MONEY BITCHES! SUCK OUR DICKS! WOO! Like seriously this is stupid as hell. If anything this will fuck these companies in the long run. Xbox 2 or whatever release. Nope fuck it I know 2.5 will be coming in 1 fucking year. PS5 releases. Nope fuck you. PS5.5 will be out in a fucking year. So fucking stupid. I hate this bullshit. There is a reason I say gaming is dying fast at least from the good old ways of gaming. Fucking iterative bullshit and in-app fucking everywhere and stupid ass touch based retardation. God gaming is sucking dick more and more. It is dying at least for people like me that don’t like being fucked and like having good games that aren’t chopped to fucking shit.

          • I haven’t seen that much swearing in a single comment for a very long time. I can see that your stance won’t be changing any time soon.

          • Things are clearly going to be changing a lot next year in the gaming landscape, so this is the point where people like you will have to decide whether that shift is worth accommodating. I’m personally excited about what’s to come, but I understand everything that you’re saying. At least we can all rest in the knowledge that the NX will *likely* be a traditional console generation, as long as its gimmick isn’t modular upgrades.

          • NX is going to end up being garbage I can already tell. And yeah I’ve already decided that gaming is not going to be a big thing for me any more. I will never buy a new console. And I will buy whatever couple of games that are coming out that still interest me that are shrinking all the time. The only real big ones I want are S&M, Zelda, and especially P5. I will be picking up SMTIVA and KH and Tales but like I am very much losing interest and will not likely be huge into gaming going forward. And it isn’t because of age. I am only 21, 22 next year. But still. I dunno I just hate how things are going and hate being screwed all over the place by every gaming company.

          • Well, look at it this way, if you’re complaining about gaming on a gaming site, prepare to have your ideas either challenged or bested by those who are still into the idea, raising heck here doesn’t help you in the slightest. From what i saw so far, you are bashing all the companies from Nintendo to Microsoft to Sony trying to make a point about how horrible the games are or how you feel they aren’t worth your time… Grow up, gaming is supposed to be entertainment to people for them to enjoy, if you don’t enjoy gaming or having your ideas about it challenged, we do have a door, and you are very welcome to exit through it. On top of that, I’ve been watching your comments, you are clearly upset at gaming, we get it, stop cussing please, and please stop acting upon malicious comments to make us feel bad about video games, they’re games, and we all get that, so why can’t you?

          • Bested? FUCKING HA! There isn’t any besting the argument that gaming is dying and game companies are fucking pricks. I am entitled to my opinion. And others are to theirs as well.

          • You are indeed entitled to your opinion, but you don’t need to use fowl language to get there, do you? I am suggesting you stop making others feel bad for your own interests, that is simply all.

          • It was simply a typo, but yeah, I need to read my stuff over more before launching into a post. Maybe the big issue is you feel like you are suffering from too much gaming, maybe you should consider a break, do it more casually, perhaps?
            Gaming is meant to be enjoyed, if you don’t feel that way, maybe it’s not for you.

          • I used to be into gaming, but it has dropped off a cliff with the introduction of DLC and in-app purchases, mobile and social games, etc.

          • I remember a time too before that, when games were simple and fun without all the extras, but i am thankful that if there is something game breaking, now companies can fix it, thanks to patching, and some DLC keeps the replayablity higher. DLC still costs money to develop, so yeah, it should be to support the costs, but I think DLC should also be upon demand, like Smash Bros 4 was. That kind of stuff did actually allow for a little extra fun than the game’s scope intended, or even things like Splatoon, which does extremely well because there’s something new every so often to try, from splatfests, to DLC, to extras beyond the game’s original scope. As long as the idea is meant for adding more playback to the game, and not for a money grab, it’s ok to ask for a little extra for it. It’s when companies split the initial game up that it becomes a bad idea, I think games should work based on support sometimes alone, if people want it, it will be made. Kickstarter is a great example of this at work, because you’re designing games other people are going to buy, so you do have to appeal to them if you want sales. If you can find the middle ground, it’s really not as bad as it might seem. If you Feel the same, that’s ok. If not, that’s ok too, but this is how i view DLC and such.

          • Well, free DLC does exist, have you checked out a lot of Nintendo stuff, sometimes you buy the game and you get free characters, maps, enhancements, if i recall, Nintendo NEVER charged for an event Pokemon in places like the US and Europe. Maybe some promotional things in japan, but for the most part, DLC goes into paying off the cost of making DLC or back into the company for future projects. While not always the case, nothing’s truly safe from greed.

          • Maybe you should just look for a different side of gaming. Try retro stuff you havent played before, maybe pick up a couple indie games on steam. Gaming is varied and diverse. Like music, it is easy to say that “music sucks” or “music used to be good” when that is only really true with main stream music played on the radio and in stores and stuff like that. There is so much music out there that you really just have to find some you like. Same for games!

          • I shouldn’t have to go back to old stuff to enjoy gaming. And eh I hate most indie games they are too similar, cheaply made and just bad.

          • Well shoot I dont know what to say. You can find some creative and original indie games. Some of the most fun with gaming I’ve had lately has been playing Metroid, Mario 3, and Shovel Knight. Retro and indie games. But I guess thats just me. I still think you should at least give them a try. But yeah, you may just need a break from games

          • Indies are suck 99% of the time. And like I said I shouldn’t have to go retro to enjoy gaming that just proves my point that gaming is dying.

          • The Wii was pretty successful, despite being “trash” with specs, it worked because it tried to be different, and Nintendo changed their strategy from the not so successful Gamecube, Clearly this shows Nintendo tries to change just like Playstation 3 tried to copy them, they wouldn’t have done that if the Wii and Wii remote were not iconic and successful at the time. Nintendo does have good ideas from time to time, and their net worth shows they can go years without any serious sales, they went through the whole Wii U and lived, that means once again, it’s time to try something different, or go back to what works. Who knows? They could have another Wii success story on the way, don’t count them out just yet.

          • I don’t remember bad mouthing NX other than the fact that it is going to be shit because Nintendo doesn’t give a rats ass about power or keeping up with market trends other than mobile because of course mobile fucks over people who have a brain.

          • It is. That is all it is. And I think it will end up hurting them more than it helps. Unless generations are just gone as Xbox was hinting at. Where it will just be PCs essentially but with a locked down ecosystem and some exclusives (Xbox doesn’t even have that over PC because all Xbox games basically are going to PC).

          • This is nothing new.
            Nintendo did this ages go with the Gameboy Colour, Gameboy Advance SP, DSi and now the NEW Nintendo 3ds.
            Besides, all future games will be made available to all the different variants. The only REAL benefit the new consoles give us 4K, and I’m pretty sure not many people have 4K TVs.

    • I love Microsoft’s idea of an interconnected console industry. I’m not a Microsoft fan, but I could commend them on good ideas. You now have the Xbox One, Xbox One S, and Project Scorpio. Yet, I do think the Windows 10 support will be their downfall. People would just upgrade their PC to play their titles. Also, I’m already assuming the Scorpio will cost around $500 to $600 dollars to perform that well with modern technology. So, I don’t see the console doing to hot with people mostly purchasing the Xbox One S or upgrading to Windows 10 to avoid the price and to play Microsoft games. Sorry for the length comment. lol.

      • Microsoft didn’t talk about that. The concept of “generations” is basically like this: The Wii, Xbox 360, and PS3 was the seventh console generation. The eight console generation is the Wii U, Xbox One, and PS4. Basically, the crumbling of the console generation is the idea of everything being interconnected and supporting each other. Companies could make more powerful consoles, while supporting older systems.

  21. What are you guys more exited for tomorrow? Zelda or Pokemon? I’m more excited about Zelda honestly because I doubt that there will be a ton of news coming from Pokemon due to the amount of stuff that has been shown in the days right before and because we know almost nothing about Zelda and it will be a big focus so the news will probably be more major.

  23. E3 so far had been terrible.
    I don’t give a shit about EA, Bethesda was average. Microsoft was boring as hell and the only game worth playing was scalebound.
    Nintendo’s Digital Event has always my most hyped event, but with Nintendo skipping it this year, Sony is my only source of hope to make this a good e3

    • Really? I’d give the Microsoft conference an A. They showed off a lot of titles and showed a good amount of gameplay. I’m not a Microsoft fan and I thought they did a good job this year.

    • Yeah I agree. But E3 has been on the decline for years now anyways this isn’t a surprise. Gaming is shit anymore. I doubt Sony will be much better. Nintendo will be the high point even without a conference.
