BlueFire Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 (edited) Most of the people I know who are getting X or Y aren't. We figured that we had a blast finding new Pokemon and wondering what there is to know about them when we first played the games, unlike Unova when we just looked up all of the Pokemon and their types and moves ahead of time. And since the games are being released worldwide simultaneously for once, we don't want to know about any Pokemon besides the starters, cover legendaries, and Sylveon - which were the first Pokemon to be released. Anyone else not spoiling any of the gen. 6 Pokemon for themselves? I'm going to do the same for the hidden characters in SSB4. There's absolutely nothing wrong with doing it - I just want to do it for these games in particular because I miss that feeling. Also, please don't troll me (and others) who wish not to know yet by revealing anything in this thread Edited August 20, 2013 by BlueFire Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knight Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 I don't want to spoil it for me, but temptations are too great. When it finally comes out, I won't look at any info on the game until I beat it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deleted35362 Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 it's gonna be another one of those things where i don't pay any attention to the game, and then 50 years later when i finally get the game i have all these OMGUSH moments like how i played pokemon emerald and fell in love with skarmory and absol...still haven't finished that game though ^^; Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riariadne Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 I wouldn't mind a "spoiling only some things" option Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregosa Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 I wouldn't mind a "spoiling only some things" option Same here. I'm very eager about what the starters will evolve into among other things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver Lightning Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 (edited) I'm admittedly spoiling myself with info I happen to find, though I don't go out of my way to do it. Gen 5 is the only gen where I fully spoiled the list of pokemon for myself, and only because a friend showed me the list; its nice to know in advance what pokemon there are and plan what to use, but as in previous gens I also like to discover them in-game on my own. Depending on whether a full list is revealed before launch and how prolific it will be posted online, I may end up fully spoiled or only partially. Speaking of which, does anyone know when they officially released the Gen 5 list of pokemon? Or was that a pre-launch leak? All I remember was finding it online the summer before it was released in fall...and I wonder if they'll do the same for Gen 6...

Nova Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 The last generation where I experienced how it was when everything is new was the second. I've tried not to spoil me last gen, but I failed. But I'm going to do better this time. So far, I've seen the starters, the legendaries, Sylveon and, unfortunately, I've seen a glimpse of some others.I also plan to ask a couple of friend how they find the version-exclusive Pokemon and decide by their opinions which game I'll get. xD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Konnor97 Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 I am spoiled on everything revealed so far. If there's info about a game I want that I want to know, I will try and learn it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vashiane Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 Yeah, I don't mind looking at some of the new Pokemon or spoiling myself a bit. I like learning about all these new Pokemon, and this is the most excited I've been about Pokemon since... since I was little. I can't NOT stop. Now, when plot-related stuff starts coming out - if it does - I'm not going to read it. Since I'm probably getting the game in December, whenever TVTropes starts updating their page with the story I'm staying away from it then.

FrostyFireMage Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 I'm checking out the new info that Corocoro releases, but I'm definitely drawing the line when starter evolutions and plot points start cropping up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PKLucas531 Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 My interest is basically nonexistent for X and Y right now so if/when I decide to pick it up I'll have barely seen anything about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Espinosa Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 All the things I've heard about the new games will matter only as soon as I start playing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Djeets Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 considering, they always spoiled the legendary mascot pokemon right from the Game's BOX COVER, why bothering the rest anyway, they already spoiled the main thing on us on the start..>.< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since I'm probably getting the game in December, whenever TVTropes starts updating their page with the story I'm staying away from it then. Same thing here. I don't care about spoiling the Pokemons, since planning my team in advance is part of the game's fun IMO. Besides, how can you chose your version if you don't have any idea of the exclusive ? However, I really regreted spoiling the plot for Gen V. I plan of buying it on day 1 (Or whenever the preorder will be available...), so I will still have a lot of surprise anyway.

Karasz Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 I'm really only reading up on the new Pokemon, new abilities, new mechanics, new moves, and new characters, and that's about it. I don't want to get into anything story related until I actually play the game. That seems like the sensible thing to do. Yeah, I don't mind looking at some of the new Pokemon or spoiling myself a bit. I like learning about all these new Pokemon, and this is the most excited I've been about Pokemon since... since I was little. I can't NOT stop. You and me both, Vashiane.

"main thing"? Personally, I couldn't care less about the legendary that is decorating the cover. I don't understand why that's such a huge thing for so many.

Phoenix Wright Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 (edited) i'd like to do a blind playthrough of a pokemon game, but the nature of the game makes it impossible. it's long and extremely boring for me the second time around. and in order to plan out how i'm going to train my pokemon, i need to know when i'll be able to assemble a full team. i just realized this won't happen this time around though, as the game is getting a world-wide release simultaneously, making it impossible for any of us to know ahead of time where all of the pokemon will be located. so...huh, i am actually considering a completely blind playthrough (meaning i'll stop looking up any more information).

Florete Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 I've seen all that's been released so far and am fine with that, but I'll likely avoid any other major information until I get the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pinkbubblegum Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 I prefer not to look for info on the game if I can help it. But sometimes your friends are pretty excited and link pictures so it's not entirely avoidable haha.There's just something about playing a game blind and finding out about things in the moment that adds to the experience, I'd think. Such as evolving a Pokemon by accident instead of looking it up (Which I find ends up making the game feel more like a chore since you end up setting numerous short term goals instead of just playing the game as is?)

Book of Ereshkigal Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 Some. Starter evolutions maybe, but I'll try to stay away from just about everything else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samias Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 I'll probably end up spoiling all the Pokemon but not the team composition of the gym leaders or Elite 4. Generally I look up the Pokemon, then play a lot at once and forget what they learned, when they evolve, and what their starts are anyway. However, it does more or less give me a preview of what I want on my team along the way like how I HAD to have Whimsicott on my team in Black.

Emeraldfox Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 I don't see how the information released now are considered spoilers since it comes from the Pokemon Company. Besides All the things I've heard about the new games will matter only as soon as I start playing. I have this mentality. Actually playing the game is so much better than reading up on it.

Ema Skye Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 Any pre-release info is fair info to me, though I want to relive my first Pokemon experiences with Sapphire and Crystal and go in rather blind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tamanoir Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 Actulally.. Now that I think of it, this will be the first game I'll play pretty blind. Well, I played the Johto games pretty blind on a Japanese Rom Version where menus were translated, and the rest was pure gibberish. Was completely blocked by this goddamn Snorlax. But this Time will be prtty differnet. We'll all be nearly at the same ranks. ANd I don't count Official Informations from GameFreak as spoilers. It just makes me more eager to play the games.Only 6 weeks left... I can't believe it's so close ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
