Ok I just got home and I see a number of different things going on. Did Masuda confirm that Sun and Moon will be a new region/ Gen 7 and not 6.5?
Masuda confirmed that we are getting at LEAST 10 new Pokemon!
Aren't you excited?
Yes.
New Pokemon. New region. It's been generation 7 since the initial reveal.
Yup. Gen 7 will be. and 6.5 and Z fags are on suicide watch

literally when was this said?
>>25812364
All he really confirmed was that there would be at least 10 new Pokemon, but he said this in a joking manner. Repeat a JOKING manner. Since it's obvious that we would be getting new Pokemon. Also unless you didn't pay attention to the initial announcement trailer, yes we have a brand new region. And yes it's more than likely Gen 7, don't listen to anyone saying Gen 6.5 they're just being idiots and spreading a bad meme.
>>25812513
Since GF thinks megas and forms are new Pokémon, this is a safe assumption.
>>25812513
They were joking anon.
>>25812552
According to the Pokédex.
They don't.
So where is the gameplay trailer?
>>25812645
>He thinks they were a gameplay trailer
>>25812664
>>25812552
Why does GF even have this problem recently? Back in gen 2 they didn't call the unown forms each different Pokemon.
>>25812742
But they don't, megas are considered forms. in the pokedex they have the same entry number and name as their corresponding pokemon.
>>25812807
I'm talking about GF, not the pokedex or lore. In ORAS, the new megas were advertised as being brand new Pokemon.
>>25812384
That's what a new generation is you idiot.
He confirmed the bird in the trailer was a new Pokemon, though.
Not that you really needed him to, but he did.

Pretty sure they're for different graphics

If you think Gen 4 and 5 have the same graphics, you've got serious eyes issues
>>25812917
mechanics and compatibility decide gen.
>>25813273
Mechanics and compatibility built around new Pokémon.
>>25813303
not necessarily. Megas had the same effect as introducing new Pokemon yet ORAS still had compatibility with XY.
>>25813265
Gen 5 reuses sprites from DPPt and HGSS.
>>25813303
All the 11 of them
>>25813322
The overworld looks extremely different
>>25813322
>Gen 5 reuses sprites from DPPt and HGSS
All of the back sprites are a different style, the sprites are animated, the overworld sprites aren't the same
you're a fucking retard if you think gen 5 looks the same gen 4
>>25813265
There's a bunch of reused sprites, and the graphical changes are there, but are minimal.
Graphics don't mean shit, especially when you consider the fact that since we've moved on to 3d, there is no reason to change models much, until the next console with more power comes out.
>>25813315
But they're not actually new Pokémon, they're new forms for existing Pokémon. "Having the same effect" isn't the same thing as actually adding new Pokémon. And the compatibility rule you talk about is only a thing because new Pokémon are in one game.
>>25813315
But megas are not new pokemon you fucking dipshit
>>25813336
Different overworld is what defines a new generation the best
If SM have the same overworld as XY/ORAS (in addition to the same battle models which will obviously be the case anyway), it's still Gen 6
>>25813331
Some tweaks in the overworld environment, most monster sprite have the same poses from gen 4, only with movement to make a little difference.
Isnt that hard to saw.
>>25813329
>>25813331
But they still reused sprites. The post never said they looked exactly the same.
>>25813387
Gen 2's overworld is nearly identical to Gen 1.
