A small change to the Pokemon catching formula is being introduced in Pokemon X/Y.
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.
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.”
Pokemon X/Y allows players to travel in a number of ways. You can, of course, use your trusty bike. Riding Pokemon is also an option. It has additionally been revealed that players will be able to use rollerblades.
You’ll receive the rollerblades in one of the first towns. If you battle another rollerskater and defeat them, you’ll learn new tricks that can be performed.
