I thought I told you kids to stay out of the tall grass

You've seen the cute new starters... now see 'em in action! The first battle footage from Pokémon B&W plus another look at the 3D thing in the cities.

Looks cool.

The coolest part of this for me is the fact that when you run into people in the streets, they gtfo of your way, haha. I always hated that they would absolutely refuse to move and you'd walk into a tiny little corner to search for items and someone would walk right in the way and you'd be traaaapped.

I'm pretty "eh" about the battles, but it could be pretty cool. I think I just need to see more of it; the battles with the starters looked a little laggy, but I'll attribute that to the video more than the game itself.

Admittedly, the new designs are growing on me. I admit that I was less-than-eager when I originally saw the starters' designs but they're growing on me (mostly thanks to fan-art of all things!). The new Trainers are also growing on me, but I still really don't like them that much. Perhaps the manga will change this for me but we still have a couple of years before we reach that point.

The new battling system looks amazing.

I love how much movement the sprites have during battles. And people moving out of the way is awesome. LOOK OUT, BADASS TRAINER COMING THROUGH.
