What do you think the Kalos Pokemon Centers will be like?

Do you think they'll follow on with the merged Center/Marts like they did in Unova/Gen V or would you prefer them to go back to being split in separate buildings?



Personally I'm hoping they stay merged, it was quite a fresh change for the series and I enjoyed it.
 
Will probably stay merged, I think. Makes it so that I don't need to search around for the Poké Mart.

I hope they add something new to the Pokémon Centers though... not sure what.
 
Having them merged made it a lot better. I really don't think they're going to change that part - and I am very curious to see the inside in 3D.
 
In the backgorund of this pic: http://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/1/17/XY_Prerelease_Route_3.png you can see what looks like it would be a Pokemon Center. And it looks the way it would look as if joined with the PokeMart. So yes, I think they will keep the two merged. (I think there's a better pic of it, but I couldn't find it.)

Though... I just thought of something else....(maybe off-topic)...if they make remakes/sequels to RS, will they merge the Pokemon Center and Mart or keep them separate like they were originally? I'd expect them to merge the two, but maybe they won't......
 
Hmm, this is one of the changes I really wouldn't mind if they removed. I actually did like that the Poke Mart was its own little place, even if it is more convenient now. Who knows, maybe merged centers are just a Unova thing?

Whether they keep it or separate them again; I'm okay with either.
 
I liked them separate, but I doubt that they will change them back. I liked it because there were more people to talk to who give you free stuff. Also, the store seems out of place in the center.
 
I'd actually like to see them merged in some cities and separate in others, depending on what suits the location more. Like, smaller towns that wouldn't need as large a mart or center would have them combined, while big cities would have them separate. Just gives the locations a bit more flavor.
 
From a gameplay perspective, merged buildings are obviously much better, but I probably wouldn't mind them going back to split buildings either. Makes the towns and cities feel a little more alive, I guess.
 
I'd prefer and hope for them to remain merged since it's more convenient to heal my Pokemon and shop in one place instead of having to run from one place to another. If they do change back for some reason I won't really care.
 
I think they'll still be merged, but I really want the PokeMart section to be bigger. Maybe they'll expand the PokeCenters to make more room for PokeMarts and additions to the PokeCenters, such as making the center more like the anime, so you can rent a room (because you're a trainer, it's free, of course) and you can change. That way, you'll have a convenient spot to change in almost every town.
If that's too much, then a restroom would be a good substitute. Maybe even a small clothing shop area could be added to the PokeCenter, including dressing rooms.
Of course, adding all this would require a giant redesign of the PokeCenter, or at least moving some things around.
Maybe the PokeMart could get its own floor, and half of it is a clothing area that includes a changing room. So either the PokeCenter would get taller, or the Wifi rooms would be moved to the sides of the first floor.
 
Keeping Pokémon Centers and PokéMarts merged is better than separated. I hope Kalos Pokémon Centers will add something new. But I think every Kalos Pokémon Centers will have something different.
 
I think they should stay merged too. (remakes are a different story)

In Kalos, they should throw in a big mall/ department store in addition just like pretty much every other region.
 
@pastabender; makes a great point... I'm also fascinated to see what the inside of the Pokemon center will be like in 3D. It's not often that I'd like things in the games to be a bit more like the anime, but on this occasion I think it'd be cool. Like for some of the centers to have little seating areas where you could get some food for yourself and your pokemon. I'd prefer if the mart was a separate building again but if it remained merged with the center I wouldn't exactly be annoyed. Like others have said, some variation between the centers would be really cool... Although extremely unlikely in my opinion. It's such a classic look.
 
For the sake of convenience, it's way, way better to keep them merged.However, the PokéMart theme is one of my favorite songs from the soundtracks, so I hope they keep it some way just like they did in Gen V.
 
I would guess they'll be the same as BW, just a little improved and 3D. Still merged of course and with GTS stuff also inside.
 
I think they should keep the two merged, especially since it makes things easier and you don't have to walk all over the place. I think it just makes them more convenient.
 
I think that they should stay merged as well. It's just more convenient to heal your Pokemon and then buy items for them in the same building. Although, I really like the idea of having the larger cities with the two buildings merged, while smaller towns keep them separate since there isn't any need to have the two places together. That would provide a bit of a realistic flare for some of the areas in the games.
 
Putting Pokemon Centers and Poke'marts in the same building was one of the best ideas GameFreak has ever had. Please, to any deity that'll listen, let this concept be repeated!
