Playing the demo now and I'm glad the franchise hasn't skimped on the awful storytelling again.

"Whenever you greet a new person you say 'HAWAII'! New boy in town, please take of my son for me!"

I'm 1000% sure it carries over to the full game, but this is just a little playbox to mess around in and such. There's no real story at all here and any dialogue boxes serve as plain justifications to go do something at best.

If the smaller forms were powered down forms would it make sense for them to be the way to get the other games legendary in one game? Like you can't get solgaleo in moon but you can get Cellgaleo

Can confirm that there are no framerate drops for me during the totem battle or when turning on the 3D during not!Pokemon Snap on a n3DS. But 3D during battle also seems to no longer be a thing.

The demo is pretty poo poo really. Giving you a good pokemon and some basic challenges isn't especially entertaining. It's not like it's introducing many new features that people would love to try out too. It's just a new pokemon generation, most people interested know what they're in for and are getting it if the demo is bad or good.

The fact that Nintendo took some measures against the datamining by clearing a bunch of stuff but then leaving the motherlode is hilarious though and speaks volumes to their general incompetence.

Snorunt and Spheal are both in a cave that is only accessible during low tide. I'm glad I caught both of them in Emerald back in the day, because now that the battery is dead it's permanently stuck on high tide.

Edit: Actually, it seems that just Snorunt is exclusive to the ice cave and has a really low appearance rate on top of that :shrug:

Yeah. It doesn't even give you the starters to work with or something to capture. Just Greninja with a new gimmick and one shot of Pikachu using a Z-move.

Having gone through the demo with a New and Old 3DS side by side:

New 3DS loads areas slightly faster. The Start Demo menu came up instantaneously on the New 3DS, while the Old 3DS sat and cleared resources for 5 seconds.

When loading a new area after fading to black, there was a slight delay on the Old 3DS. Nothing game breaking but I had to wait for it to stop at a prompt so I could sync them back up.

Both had Zubat Horde Battle slowdown when the Totem Pokemon called out an ally and the camera started panning across everything.

As mentioned earlier, the Old 3DS will completely restart after finishing the game.

I didn't notice any slowdown, but I might have chosen moves too quickly or something.

Either way, it seems the n3DS helps a little.

He can be any typing and he's won a place in my heart. He's probably gonna be Bug/Water though, and will be at least as strong as Gyarados, and depending on his ability he's probably going to be banned immediately.

The demo's going pretty well so far. I fought the Totem Dragon.

I like how it gets pissed off and charges you and Sun is just making the blankest :) face the whole time.

It wasn't too bad to beat, though. Static triggered in every one of these fights, and a few Growls made it weak. Then I had to fight Team Hot Topic again afterwards.

I wonder if they pose so much because they're practicing their Z-Moves.

If it has a C stick and Lz/Rz it's a New 3DS. Otherwise it's an Old 3DS

E: Looking at the pictures, it's an old one.
