I'm betting on the Legendaries, Starters, the new Professor, Rival(s), and maaaayybe some mechanical stuff if there are any big changes. Then we'll have to wait for next CoroCoro

I wonder if this new gen is also going to get a graphic boost. Every previous gen had in one way or the other.

I'm not sure they'll be able too, I mean XY&ORAS all suffered from framerate issues, so if they boosted the graphics even more… It wouldn't be pretty.
Masuda is hyping it, he made a post on his blog and posted this picture, it has to be something significant.

I'm keeping my expectations low just to be safe.
Bastards.
While I'm thinking about it, whatever happened to that Pokemon App game that was touted way back when?
Pokemon Go? The beta was released last month

Probably nothing significant. They high rezzed the models to future proof them somewhat, and they were already seriously straining what the 3DS could do.
They might change up all the poses, or switch to a different shader or something, but I don't think they'll be doing anything dramatically different until a new handheld.
Previous gen sprites got reused for old mons for long periods, so reusing assetts won't be surprising. But the CG models does mean they'll be easier to tweak a lot without making them from scratch.
I really hope that the lack of info is just marketing, and not a sympthom of lack of development. If they do a "half assed Gen" where they don't go all out on mechanics and stuff, and just put mons and content, then most of the game design time and balance testing gets greatly reduced.
@Purple:
Pokemon Go? The beta was released last month
It was!? Dammit, how did I miss that?
Well, the beta to Japan, Australia, and New Zealand. It's not completely open to everyone everywhere just yet
I gotta say, I've lost all excitement for Go. I mean I'll play it once it's out, but with every new thing being discovered from the Beta I get less excited for it. I hate the not-battling wild pokemon, evolution mechanics, gym mechanics, and the fact that it looks like it's only Gen 1(though that could change).
From what was promoted as "Pokemon in real life" to "ingress mixed with a shitty pokemon snap"
In the meantime I'll continue being stuck on catching Blaziken in Pokemon Shuffle.
Masuda is saying to keep an eye tomorrow for pokemon youtube channel.
So hyped.
Besides new information, what i'm looking forward the most to see is if they changed the art style of the characters and the world. Until Black & White the pixel art was always top notch, with some minor drop in quality with DPPt, but overall it was always a pleasure to play and explore just to be immersed in the worlds. With Kalos however (and also the ORAS Hoenn), the art style changed with more polygons and 3d objects and characters, which really made the world feel more lifeless and bland. The characters became much more round and chibi like, and while the artworks of Sugimori looked better and more dynamic than the originals, when made in 3d models they were just worse than their pixel counterparts.
The pokémon models in 3d however, for the most part look very polished and well made, except for the colors that feel kinda off (especially for red and yellow and bright ones in general). If they manage to fix these visual/graphical issues i would be very glad if they did, otherwise it's going to be Kalos/oras Hoenn just more polished maybe.
So… Which starter line is going to have the worst evolution line/final evolution this generation? lol
Hopefully we get a trailer similar to the first X/Y one. Meaning: Box legends, the 3 starters, maybe 1 or 2 new pokemon on the starting routes of the game (the new pidgey, basically), and a glimpse at the male and female trainer and the region itself.
Damn Masuda is hyping the crap out of this, he is making a lot of countdown posts the last three days on his twitter.
English: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCFctpiB_Hnlk3ejWfHqSm6Q
Japan: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC_SI1j1d8vJo_rYMV5o_dRg
I've been reading that the info will be delivered via Official Pokemon youtube channels so for those who don't have them, subscribed yet here are the links to the Eng and Jpn Pokemon channels so people can keep an eye out for it tomorrow
I like how people are getting hyped and shit. lol
Though… As much as Matsuda is hyping it... It's probably going to be a trailer similar to the first X/Y one, which is great news, imho! It means we will be seeing the starters, box legends, the trainers etc. etc. like I listed above.
I swear if it's just the legendary silhouettes though
Finished for the day, gonna tuck in nicely and wait for that video.
Hyped!
how much longer? Half an hour?
TEN MINUTE COUNTDOWN TO being ultimately either trolled to hell OR LEGIT CONTEEEEEEEEEENT~!
Trailer similar to the first X/Y one! Please GameFreak!! Don't troll us again…

Customization is back babyyyy
After being hyped for the grass owl, I'm really happy it turned out to be true. And it is pretty cute actually, unless its evos ruin it, definitely picking this guy (the typing though…)
The other two look ugly as hell, though. I mean... gosh! Popplio looks almost exactly like one of the fan guesses though (but... well... uglier).
The seal pokémon reminds me of Drillbur
Anyway, I find the owl and the seal adorable. The cat…
23th November in Germany??? WTF?? I'll get it earlier … -_-
Also the Grass Owl is adorable!!!
Initial starter choice : Grass Owl. No contest.
#Lionboyzforlife
Not a fan of the starters but I can deal with the Owl.
Pokemon Moon's Legendary is way cooler than Sun imo.
And europe gets it a week later
Figures that Japan gets the better announcement… haha
Water Seal is not endearing to me. Yet all the Water starter's final evolutions have been worth it to me.
So I'll hold out with much hope and high expectations.
Fire starter for me as always. I hope its final form is Fire/Dark.
The other two are fine. The Grass one is a little boring but I feel it will have more interesting evolutions.
As for the 2 legendaries, I'm more interested by the lion. So, I'll probably get the Sun version.
I'll need to see some final evolutions before truly deciding on my starter, but so far the grass owl is ahead.

More detailed info on starters and artwork.
IT'S A KITTYCAAAAT!!! #sold
Wow the japanese trailer is just about 100x better than the english one. Serious feels.
Edit: looks like the owl has an all new grass-type move called 'leafage'. That or the pokeon company translated it wrong.
Litten has flaming hair balls.. And it ignites itself to sheed its fur.
Weird thing is that it seems that they will start with their elemental attack instead (or including) of tackle/scratch/pound/whatevs
I'm pretty pleased with this announcement. Took them a while, but oh man, they're all awesome.
Rowlet is cute as fuck. Probably the cutest starter ever made, I mean jesus, look at that thing. But Fool already called it, and I'm ok with that.
Litten sounds awesome as hell just from the description. I like it, and it's most likely the one I'll pick. Although, I also like Popplio (I think that's the name?) and I like how it's all derpy and showy, and more than anything I'm holding on to the fact that if any starter gets a fairy evo, it could be this one. But if none do, Litten for sure. Probably.
Legendaries I don't really care for. They're all meh as far as I saw. But the starters, omg, adorable!
