trailers

During the Nintendo eShop update today, a special overview trailer was uploaded. This trailer showcases various new features of the game and Pokémon throughout. Most of the information it shows is not actually new, but rather just demonstrates the features we know such as the customization menu, and various moves and features such as destroying rocks while riding a Rhyhorn. It also confirms that Marill used a new Fairy-type move called Child's Play, or possibly Play Around, (じゃれつき) which does decent damage.

So far, the new game is only coming to Japan, but we can hope, right?

Gameplay is something a little bit like the Japanese chess-esque strategy game Shogi, or the Chinese game Go mixed with traditional Pokémon capturing and battling features. The game's AI is designed to assist the player, hence the title "Co-Master." It will be free to play, and available for iOS and Android in Japan.

Lapras, Emolga, Snivy and Fennekin have also been confirmed as support characters.

From Nintendo's latest Micro Direct.

"..Prepare to battle your Pokemon in the Ferrum Leage: a region that seems to ignore the rest of the rules of the Pokemon universe."

Aaaand Sylveon as well! :3

I wish I wasn't going to play this.

I have no words for what you are about to watch.
