YOU FORGOT TO MENTION THAT YOU CAN MOVE DIAGONALLY.
I've updated the official thread's first post.

I don't know about you guys, but after months of feeling pretty darn pessimistic about this game, all this new info has removed almost all of my pessimism. The overall presentation, the character, the vibrancy of the world, it's all here and so many of my doubts feel relieved.

I know this info hasn't been much groundbreaking, but I'm almost blown away. GameFreak are more on top of their game than I gave them credit for.

The way your character looks around as they pass things, the way they walk and run, it's so full of charm and character and the visuals look much smoother than before.

Maybe I'm lavishing on the praise too heavily, but to me this doesn't even look like the same game we were shown months ago, I'm officially hyped! Not to mention the region looks huge and complex too.

Does look really good, shaping up nicely! It's come about really quickly - eager to see more of these new changes/modernisations.
