More info about Pokémon X and Pokémon Y when it comes to the game's 3D effects and it's Mega Evolutions being compared to Digimon's Digivolutions has surfaced online.
First is about the stereoscopic 3D effect of this game. In a report by IGN, Pokémon director Junichi Masuda only certain cinematics ans battle sequences will feature 3D. Most of the game is in 2D. The reason for this is because there are areas that they want to focus on the game's beauty and using it sparingly will add more impact when it did show up.
Next is about the Digivolution comparison with the game's Mega Evolution gimmick, it's just pure coincidence according to Masuda. He revealed that they see Mega Evolution as the next level in the game's evolution gimmick. To keep the battle balanced and introduce a new evolution stage, they came up with the idea of the Mega Stone and have Mega Evolutions something that happens during battle.
Because of this, it adds more depth to the battle and since a Mega Stone is a hold item, players can't give their Pokémon another hold item since one Pokémon can only hold a single item.
Pokémon X and Pokémon Y will be released worldwide for the Nintendo 3DS in both retail and on the Nintendo eShop starting this October 12th. Pre-orders are now available via Play-Asia. You can start pre-ordering by clicking the links found below.
