  1. The fact it is a live demo leads me to think it will be early game footage again so not much new and no confirmation of mega or hm’s sadly so a few new areas and maybe 1 or 2 new pokemon would be nice!

  2. Ash lost Kalos? As I thought, another flash in the pan, as one would might expect!

    It’s like the grand order of things now, the world goes round, the sun comes up, and Ash and Pikachu never wins. Though they were close, the anime would not be the anime if Ash became a Pokemon Master, because if that happened, then the company would be out of a mascot. When they should have had new mascots just like Digimon in the first place!

  3. Personally I think the demo will showbthe first time you meet team skull, with themy being revealed more recently, and it’s a new part of the game to show off

  4. Forty mins
    What to do…..
    If I wanted to i could probably beat the whole Prologue and up to maybe Kooper if I started a new file on Paper Mario

  5. come my fellow gamers,the Pokemon Sun and Moon info is just beyond that wall,we need tons of battering rams the bash our way through!

  6. I’m kind of expecting the sandcastle Pokemon to be revealed through gameplay. Weren’t Bewear and Mimikyu revealed outside of CoroCoro a week after the magazine came out?

  7. Is there no sound for the stream? I would have thought they’d at least have some music playing in the background while we wait lol

  8. So to pass the time I’m watching a let’s play of Luigi’s Mansion
    Gotta say I miss the good old days of the golden GameCube games
    Sunshine, pikmin, Luigi’s mansion, Sonic Adventure 2 and what else
    List some of your cherished GameCube games and a little something about them

  9. We’re gonna get something new. Maybe not something revealed officially, but someone will analyze the gameplay and find something small, some detail or changed mechanic/interface. We have to.

    • Could be. Seems like a lot people are having problems with it so I’d imagine they wouldn’t want to start half cocked

      Reply
    • There probably fixing the issues with Twitch or honing the equipment. It’s live, so I could wait to have a proper livestream without any issues.

  10. As a sound designer, I commend the sound designers at Gamescom for having extra music for their (technical difficulties) late start…

  11. Omg listening to a German person speak is so funny. No offense to those who are German. It’s just so different to English lol

    Reply
  12. have a feeling we wont get as much as the last live play with the islands and characters etc. 🙁 Oh well hopefully we get the starters mid evo, if its that and nothing else then i’ll be happy, 3 bits of pokemon news in 1 month 🙂

  13. why didnt they bring in translators like the last time. Its so cringe worthy watching this now, or better yet get a pokemon to introduce things instead, i.e alolan meowth lol

    Reply
  14. This live translation is horrible. Poor guy doesn’t even speak the language and clearly doesn’t get what the guy’s saying. Having a translator by his side would be so much better for everyone. He would have someone who understands him and wouldn’t feel so uncomfortable about this whole thing. Poor Morimoto… What’s waiting for him…

    Reply
  15. 1,000+ dislikes. lol. Everyone is wearing Pokemon stuff. It’s obvious they were there for gameplay. He’s also wearing a Pokemon shirt. What a troll.

    Reply
  16. Wouldn’t be surprised if they are holding onto Pokemon as doing it early would the people who are just here for it leave early. Gotta preserve those viewers lol

    Reply
  17. wow….people are really impatient lol. Chill y’all, we know they’re going to show Pokemon so its not like we’re here for nothing

    Reply
  18. Watch those two get the host in a headlock and hold him hostage if he doesn’t show pokemon footage. I mean, theyre wearing pikachu hats and theyre forced to do Mario stuff

    Reply
  19. Fucking ridiculous! Two grown men playing shitty kiddy games, Nintendo just likes trolling us after what happened today in the anime. I CALL THIS BULLSHIT! ALL OF IT

    P.S.: Does anyone noticed this, german and japanese back together? Just like the old days…YES I’M STILL ANGRY AT THE WRITERS, ARRGHH

    Reply
  20. Well, watching the Ash vs Alain final made this better, but now I’m done… It was silly to expect gameplay immediately, but this cringe is ech. At least we have the cool Electric Guitar Remix of the Streetpass Puzzle game (wtf?).

    Reply
  21. “What will we do for Gamescom”
    “I don’t know, maybe we can use some of those merchandise we have lying around, since we don’t have any games to show anyway”
    “Perfect!”

    Reply
  22. They’re going to show gameplay THEYRE JUST SHOWING A TRAILER FIRST. Jeez, everyone’s getting so upset… Show isn’t over yet…

    Reply
      • It’s a game… I’m a hardcore fan, but I’m not going to let a video get me upset… The game is coming out in 2 months, just because they aren’t showing every single detail about the game doesn’t mean that you’ll never see anything been about it again

        Reply
  23. Im gonna go do other things on the internet. Ill check back occasionally. This company has no idea how to do proper marketing.

    Reply
    • It ends with Togedamaru holding a gun on the rooftop trying to figure out which one’s the real Pikachu so it can shoot the imposter =p

      Reply
  24. doesnt look like anything new, can’t understand why Pokemon would think Germany dont have Internet or have never seen the new game trailers lol

    Reply
      • No, I mean, the way you win on the official Battle Royale is by knocking out all of ONE person’s pokemon, then the battle ends. So the name of the game is everyone gang up on one person.

        Reply
        • And then the games over. If you want it to last, you battle fairly. Although I would prefer it go until one remaining pokemon total. But its probably because the dont want two people just chilling bored until the match is over.

          Reply
          • The winner is the person with the most points. So as a player it may not be smart to end the fight quickly because you might think of knocking out someone else because your turn order is not favorable to try to knock out the person being ganged up on.

            Though yeah! I agree with the guess it’s to not make the lost people get bored doing nothing.

  25. Do they not know type effectiveness? Why would you attack rowlet with an electric z move? And then have pikachu attack togemedaru? UGH

    Reply
    • The stream was for the battle royale. The reveal was the same sort of thing we got at the Japan expo in Paris, seems perfectly fair to me!

      Reply
  26. So I’ve wasted an hour of my time for a new Fire turtle? At least there was the hot bulky bearded guy in the audience…
    Need food now

    Reply
  27. Really, after Ash losing and ONLY ONE POKEMÓN REVEALED, this is a very disappointing day… (not to mention my week, since FFXV was delayed…)

    Later, guys!

    Reply
  28. Okay so I think its strange/stupid to reveal a new mon when there are three new ones from coro coro that havent been acknowledged.

    Reply
  29. Man I feel like this is a troll now. Host wearing all that pikachu gear, giant pikachu mascot, a wave of pikachu hats for one pokemon =/ Disappointed, but they displayed Turtonator well.

    Reply
  30. was that a fire eruption Z move without a Z crystal lol? Looks like it will have very high defenses, low speed and decent sp attack

    Reply
    • I’m sure the official art for Z-Moves shows Pikachu using that attack, although the fact there’s a selecion screen after you click Z-Move seems to imply there’s more than one Z-Move for each type.

      Reply
  31. We kinda already have too many turtle Pokemon already. I can think of 9 off the top of my head… I mean there’s a lot of other creative real life inspirations they could choose from.

    Over 10 turtles and still not one dolphin

    Reply
  32. They rustle us with Ash and give us one silly turtle at Gamescon. Very, very disappointed in GF and Pokemon Company. Yokai should buy them out and make them disappear.

    Reply
  33. holy smokes, its has a grenade type move. Dame, if it werent for its weird tail and mouth thing this would be defo in my party, still a great looking poke, love the shield

    Reply
  34. I love the idea of it being based on a soft shelled turtle, but that swims in lava, the shell and everything are perfect for that 🙂

    Reply
  35. Get a grip, people! Did the Pokemon Company say anything at all about giving us a lot of new information today? They promised a live stream, and we were given a live stream! So what if they only showed us one new Pokemon?! We are now only three months away from the release date, so all this rage over ‘not enough news’ is pure cringe! Rant over.

          • Merci! J’ai jamais appris les noms des pokémon en français, je vais essayer au moins de les reconnaître pour cette nouvelle génération

          • Ça vaut le coup de jeter un oeil sur les noms des gens précédentes, y’en a un paquet qui sont bien marrants

          • Je ferai ça ce soir! J’suis à Paris et avec Pokémon GO j’suis un peu obligé de les apprendre les noms. Je me promenais au jardin du luxembourg et un mec est venu me demander si j’avais vu un salamèche. Au début je savais pas de qui il parlait x) J’ai grandi en regardant l’animé en portugais (j’suis brésilien) et les noms sont les mêmes qu’en anglais. J’apprend l’italien là pour pouvoir partir en erasmus l’année prochaine du coup je vais jouer à SM en italien. Ça sera chaud d’apprendre les noms en français x). T’es de quelle ville?

          • Ah effectivement avec Go c’est difficile sans . J’imagine même pas la tête du mec quand tu connaissais pas salamèche hahaha :’) . J’irais bien jouer à Go au Luco avec mes potes, mais j’ai pas de forfait internet, et le jeu crash constamment sur mon ipod.
            Je suis de Paris (et de Londres, lol)! (mais du coup toi t’es allé à la Japan Expo?) Moi j’étudie en Angleterre, du coup je vais acheter le jeu là bas mais quand même jouer en français, par tradition on va dire. Ça devrait être un challenge sympa de jouer en Italien 🙂 !

          • T’as de la chance d’être parisien et de pouvoir étudier à Londres. Je sais pas du tout ce que je vais faire à la fin de mes études. J’suis en licence 2 à Paris 1 (gestion) et après la fac je compte rester en Europe mais Paris c’est quand même un peu trop cher donc je vais devoir aller chercher ailleurs. J’ai aussi la citoyenneté italienne (une des raisons pour lesquelles je veux apprendre l’italien) donc je m’installerai peut être en Italie si tout se passe bien l’année prochaine mdr. T’étudies quoi? Et si je me permet de te demander, est-ce que la sortie du Royaume-Uni va t’affecter directement?

          • Ah mais j’étudie pas à Londres, j’y suis juste né et j’y vais souvent haha, j’étudie à Oxford 🙂 . (je suis un binational franco-anglais) Je rentre en 3e année d’un undergraduate degree en biologie (licence 3 quoi), en espérant faire un master à londres ou paris ensuite et de revenir pour un doctorat. C’est vrai que Paris c’est cher, enfin l’Angleterre c’es pire lol. En tant que citoyen anglais le Brexit va peu m’affecter au niveau études (mais du coup ça m’affecte beaucoup au niveau personnel). Je veux pas rentrer dans de la politique ici, mais ça va avoir un certain effet sur ma vie et celle de beaucoup de mes amis et de ma famille, ça va clairement avoir un effet sur ma carrière choisie (chercheur), et ça m’affecte très fortement au niveau émotionnel. Après on est pas encore sorti en pratique :p , bien qu’il y ait très peu de de doutes que ça arrive.
            Bonne chance pour L’Italie!!

  36. I’m leaving for now. I’ll probably be back when another article comes up. I love Turtonator, but I was hpoing for more, so I’ll be back later. This is just stressing me out. See ya.

  37. Oh a Fire/Dragon turtle. Cool, it seems tough in defense and attack. And if it is the pseudo legendary of this gen, I might have a hard time choosing to use this or Litten now lol
