Pokémon Direct 9.4.2013 

15:11 For a split second you could see Furfrou... before it was released...

True. I actually don't have any pre gen 5 games myself, so I'll just be asking people online.

Wow the direct format has drastically improved since this

R.I.P Mr Iwata :(

The funniest part about this direct is since the inclusion of the "most replayed" feature on youtube, you can see that the most replayed part of the direct is the accidental reveal of furfrou

This was in my recommend today & tomorrow 2019 pokemon Nintendo Direct is coming welcome the future!

These three spectacular men were the three original starters... 😂 RIP Iwata...

I guess I’m just getting Pokémon Directs in my recommended feeds now. R.I.P. Iwata and ahhh, the memories of X and Y. The Mewthree Hype! Now here we are with Gen 8 being announced. Good luck trainers! #PokémonSwordAndShieldHype! -Istromus

15:11 Trimmien / Furfrou

I miss these days..

Iwata-san. I've been missing him since 2015. He never got to see how Sun and Moon were announced, released or successful. But at least his memory will be remembered.

I miss Iwata :(

This made me crap my pants! So epic!

anyone else just rewatching this to get hyped for sun and moon

I remember when some jerk that cussed me out for calling furfrou a dog and they told me furfrou was a bird,bet they feel pretty stupid these days

i played red and yellow back in the day. it sure is amazing how for these games have come sine the originals.

and for once, THAT'S NOT SATOSHI TAJIRI guys. That mistake has happened too many times from the images.

rip Iwata :(

This was the last time Pokemon felt hype. Not just this direct, but all of Gen 6.

This was the first ever Pokemon/Nintendo Direct I ever saw live. I remember getting so hyped when they announced they'd throw in the Kanto starters as well as the Kalos starters. Maybe they'll do the same thing in Sun/Moon but for the Johto starters? That'd be just amazing.

Bank's 100 boxes are not enough

R.I.P mr iwata

Wait,I can only use the poke transport if I download from eshop or if I take the retail edition too?

i love all the pokemon plushies in the backround

Now it's ruby/sapphire remakes wait

I've actually never seen this...

This game came out at the same time worldwide, though.

Are there separate 3DS friend codes? I've only seen them for Pokémon games. And I own a 3DS XL with a lot of games.

Still here in 2019 lol

This Is A Great Idea!

lol the stuffed pokemon in the background is badass

im digging the pokemon Dolls in the background reminds me of my childhood

this game was good,but I was hoping for more detail. obviously though it must have been a lot of work to do :)

now ere waiting for omega ruby and alpha saphire

I liked this special Nintendo Direct. It was like a video version of Iwata Asks (which I absolutely LOVE).

Can't wait for the game to be released.

5:32 LOL Magnezone is a female

5:00 suuuuure you are

when they were showing of the pc boxes, does anyone know the pokemo right next to pikachu?

who is doing the voice overs is there a subtitled version with out them

Hype for Gen 8

Masuda looks like such a bro compared to the other two XD

The guy there, Junichi Masuda, is not only the director of the games (starting with Generation 3, before that Satoshi Tajiri took charge), but he was also the composer of the original games! He's still the composer and writes all the battle themes, but all the classic Pokémon tunes, as well as some really nice classic ones from Generation 2 were done by Junichi Masuda. Weird how he's the director now.

i never really got into gen 5, but now im getting really pumped for gen 6

9:20 has aged horribly

why this is in my recommendations?

Giving two starters right away is sooooooo OP

yeah, first, you'll have to download Pokemon Bank, then download Pokemon Transporter. Using that, you can transfer Pokemon from the Gen V games

Masuda:"My heart and soul are in these games." Me:Oi Masuda you forgot your heart and soul in XY go back to picked them up.

Jump to 8:55 in 2022 if you to realize you were lied to. Nintendo has decided to instead cut off generations of Pokemon from being transported into the modern games because they seem to not understand how to keep a subscription service or digital market service working because of declining userbases, without securing accessible ways of playing over 20 years of games on modern platforms. Sorry, "grandkids". Guess you can't go back and play the old games and still keep your creatures.

Who else is watching this to build up the sword and sheild hype

I cried while watching this. Thank you

PLEASE NINTENDO!! ADD AN UPDATE WITH THE VS. SEEKER OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT!!!!!!!!!! like this to go on top if you agree

YOU LIED! YOU LIED TO NA!

It's so cool 'cause the special x and y pack coming just 2 days after my birthday. Thank you Nintendo !

I am so happy to be able to bring my Pokemon from Ruby and LeafGreen all the way to my Sword thanks to these services! Thank you!

So much for being able to pass Pokémon on to your kids and grandkids, huh? So much for compatibility with future titles, huh? I don't know who won E3 2019, but Pokémon definitely lost. What an embarrassment.

Here’s the pss for your convenience, lets remove it 2 games later

I saw this first on the eShop on my 3Ds XL

Does anyone know how much new Pokemon there Is going to be? I need a reply ASAP! Thanks

Welp. There goes this future dream. Thanks a lot, Sword and Shield.

its cause the file format used for the game data was updated in gen 5 and it makes it much more readable and easy to work with for gen 6

in the uk it is 3+ so what do you say now?

Its actually on the official Japanese website. The price is 500 yen which fans are translating to around $5.01. But that's the yearly price for Japan, there is still no word on the US, UK, and etc. places yearly price. I'll try and PM you the link ;)

am i the only one to well up throughout the nostalgia trip?

Iwata we miss you

"and Mega Blastoise" HOLY MOTHER OF GOD THAT LOOKS SO DIFFERENT AND SO MUCH MORE AWESOME! ... I know which one I'm getting then.

Mega Evolution Charizard and Blastoise look so badass.

is there a way to get pokemon from a ds to a 3ds?

No, they are still stored on the Bank, which is separate from the main game (though you will probably be able to access Bank from X/Y). You just can't access them until you pay again.

If you stop at 15:11 you may be able to catch a glimpse at a new pokemon. It took me 3 minutes to stop it right on time. Also Marriland has it on his site.

One thing I don't understand is do the pokémon get to keep the mega evolution after the fight or do you have to go through the animation every time you start a battle, cause that could get very old when you are trying to go through a wave of bidoofs only to have to do the animation every time.

You capture monsters grow friendships with them, train them, and the best of all battle of them. Battling is online multiplayer. There is also a story mode where a trainer (you) go around the reigon to battle all eight gym leaders, then after getting all of the gym badges the trainer battles the elite four and finally... The champion, one of the hardest bosses.

Holy crap I've always dreamed that charizard had a 4th evolution and now it does

Sceptile looks AMAZING!!!

Dear Nintendo and Gamefreak, I would like to say thank you on behalf of my childhood self that grew up playing these games. Since blue/red version came out in the U.S. I had always dreamed of playing a 3d version of pokemon (with the exception of stadium, etc.) This game looks fantastic and I believe that the Pokemon Bank is a great idea! Also, I am also excited about having a new and original starter. Keep up the awesome work!

"looking at it now, it's huge" the 3DS XL is practically the same size

10/12/13 will be one shining moment in history for Nintendo and Gamefreak!

It's mega absol just waking up in the morning

I love the plushies in the background :3

does poke transfer and poke bank worh on the nintendo 2 ds !?

I want all those plushies in the back

There's a new Pokemon at 15:11. You gotta time your pause just right.

Woah check out that alpaca thing that venusaur is fighting at 15:11

Fiiine, simple answer is yes there are boxes in the offline parts of the game and no, you need the apps to do that (Though just do what you need to do while the trial is on)

Wrong... Junichi Masuda himself said that they used 3d sparingly because it makes it much more special when you do encounter a 3d scene or battle.

I just want to know if they can hold items or not I always did hate that

15:11 You guys saw that right? It's there, and it's very hard to see.

If I understand, you only need to pay the annual fee if you plan on using the storage for XY.

You are never too old for Pokémon, and this would be a great first pokemon game to play.

Ahhhhhh we get Kanto starters too!!! :D

holy shit, their actions will go crazy up for like just one day. Its insane. I can picture all those people in the market, buying tons of Nintendo actions, financing this game's creation. I bet they hired a huge team to make the 3D models of all the past and new Pokemon, there is probably more than 600 of them.

"We used this link cable" "old console" way to make me feel old

Go from Black and White 2 to this ? This is the definition of Revolutionary

The information is very useful but its so funny that it was all rehearsed

They look so happy. I feel bad the worldwide release wasn't possible thanks to some stores.... :/

Why not both?

If you go to Bulbapedia/Serebii, they show the slit second frame. Other than that, that's all we know so far.

Chespin and charmander are my starters and my friend choosing Fen and squirttle.

no its not its around 15:11, I saw it, it looks similar to a absal
