Surprised not to see any threads made, sorry that its so late. Love how you have a medal for watching TV an x amount of times. I hope the game does give you incentive to interact with the world like this through the medals, and perhaps makes things feel more alive. Another medal I wanna guess about is a medal for the new Pokedex feature. What I mean is of course seeing all the Pokemon available in every route.
 
The medals sound great enough as long as there are actually enough of them, instead of some half-assed set of five easily obtainable random medals. It's the greatest pet peeve in the games for me in general, features that could be cool but are implemented so that they're just vain shadows of What Could Have Been.

There's 255 of them, so plenty to collect. :)
 
Well, I'm glad to hear that. (I haven't been keeping up with the news that much but I hadn't read that from anywhere yet :p)
 
I know the TVs in the first games mentioned how many times you've done certain things. Nice to see them turning them into achievements instead of flavor text.
 
Inb4 you get the final trainer star for getting all of the medals.

I just hope there aren't any stupid ones.
 
Like you say, I imagine completing the checklist on each route will result in a medal.

Wouldn't be surprised if there's 17 medals earned for catching every Pokemon of a type, too.

You get one by digging in trashcans, iirc.
 
I'm kind of curious, is there a list of tasks to complete to get medals? Like hatch X number of eggs, or beat the E4 X number of times? With all the news coming out, it's hard to keep up with minor things without letting myself get too spoiled. xD Not like a complete list, but just more than "watch the TV/go dumpster diving." Are there others confirmed yet?

It's kind of a useless feature but collecting things is fun nonetheless.
 
Medals seems like Xbox Achievement. I actually like medals. It gives the game more challenges!

As far as I know the only conditions released are:
???(the first medal): Talk to the Medal Man
"TV Kid": Check TVs a certain unknown amount of times
???: Check trash bins a certain unknown amount of times
???: Catch a certain unknown amount of Pokemon
???: Battle a certain unknown amount of times
"Elite Medalist": Collect enough medals that you Rank Up to Elite Rank
???: Collect a certain unknown amount of medals
 
I'm assuming the Medal Man's a Dragon Quest reference?
 
Do you unlock anything for achieving all medals like getting free points after completing all achievements from a 360 title?
