Each time a player successfully captures a Pokemon, the Pokemon the trainer went into battle with will now receive experience points. All previous entries in the series did not provide any experience.

Masuda explains why Pokemon X/Y disables the 3D effect in certain instances

Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 7 Comments

Pokemon X/Y’s lack of 3D goes a bit further than we initially thought. Just a few days ago, we heard that the effect was disabled while traveling on the overworld. IGN also writes in an article today that “most of the game, outside of certain cinematics and battle sequences, is displayed as flat 2D.”

Game Freak director Junichi Masuda was asked to explain why 3D is disabled in quite a few areas of the game. In response, he said:

“We chose not to use 3D in areas where we wanted to put more focus on the game’s beauty. We also felt that using 3D sparingly would make it have more impact when it did show up.”

Masuda still not in favor of a mainline Pokemon RPG for Wii U

Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Podcast Stories, Wii U | 5 Comments

When asked about a mainline Pokemon game for Wii U in the past, Game Freak director Junichi Masuda hasn’t been open to the possibility. His thinking is that the RPG games are better-suited for handhelds due to the communication aspects.

Unfortunately, not much has changed. Polygon quizzed Masuda once again about a potential Pokemon Wii U game, Masuda said the following:

“The series was built around the idea of trading Pokemon, trading these creatures, and everything we designed about the games was based on that concept. That trading aspect was also to promote communication between people, and really, you need the handheld to be able to go places in real life, meet people, easily trade and battle with them. I think that’s the reason we designed them on the handheld; it’s really important to Pokemon.”
