https://twitter.com/Pokemon/status/898538051533545472 It'd be nice to be told at least a bit about what it means. Because, you know. It's August 18. Three months until release, roughly 30 seconds worth of info.

In Gen 1 I read somewhere that ghost types couldn't be hit by normal moves, and I thought that that meant I had to use special attacks only.  SyntheticPolygon posted:I like the girl's new hat.

More details are on the website. Evidently this is the same protagonist as the first set of games, they just have a new outfit this time.

That's an amazing Z-move. Probably won't affect the meta, considering the Tapus.

Everybody is so hyped for Pokemon following you again but I bet my soul it's only the special Rockruff that evolves into the dusk form. Don't buy into it.

Especially since the boost likely won't trigger if they no-sell it. And if you have a Kommo-o on your team this is the only thing you even might be bringing it for. Team Preview ruins another gimmick

Don't immune'd Z-moves still do 25% damage? I don't think you can no-sell them so he'd get the buff. Also very, very few teams run more than one Tapu and you can just, yknow, have something on your squad that lures tapus or whatever. This move is clearly going to facilitate late game sweeps - you can safely ignore the defense boosts and just treat it as Dragon Dance But Also Special, and if you can keep your kommo-o safe until the second half of the match when other stuff has taken hazard damage you're in a good place. Just put him in after something on your team dies against something you can soak a hit from (or outspeed) and use your z-move to do a shitload of damage and buff yourself. You'll almost certainly kill any Tapu who switches in on that after a Poison Jab or Flash Cannon, especially with some hazard or past damage. Scarf Lele would be bad news of course but it's hardly enough to immediately say "wow I guess this amazing new tool is just completely unviable owned by team preview and a tapu RIP". Koko doesn't even run Fairy moves!

Z-moves only do smaller damage if they hit a protected Pokemon. They don't work at all on immunities.

I wonder if the reason info on this game is so scarce is because pretty much all of SuMo got spoiled.

Surprisingly enough, they actually were. quote:Yeah and little things like the Trials, which were a big part of Sun and Moon, came very late to the point where like that they couldn't like, Ohmori had to work with the tools that he could as the director, like he couldn't get artists to come in and help him make new assets and stuff like that. He had to design the Trials late in development just based on like writing and whatever he could figure out. This definitely explains why trials were all over the place in quality. Like one was a quiz on a black screen and the last one was a straight line.

Christ of course I sleep through the news dump. Still, some good stuff we've seen so far, hope they keep it on the down low, so we go into these games not knowing much.

I hope Slowpoke/Bro get a Z-move called something like "Ultra Amnesia" that does nothing the turn it's used, but then 3 turns later gives +6 to every stat it has

Dr. Fetus posted:Surprisingly enough, they actually were. That's unexpected. But now that they know how Trials go, they can improve upon them with actual development time and programmers and make them even more fun and unique. They were already a blast with those limitations and a wonderful change from the stale 20-years-old formula, so I can't imagine how good they can be with proper time put into them.

Well it was datamined fully due to the demo, so if there's nothing like that this time around, then the only thing that will spoil stuff is stores breaking street date.

New Alola Map There's a lot of small subtle changes to the map I'm noticing this time around, similar to B2W2's map. First big thing I notice is there are now rocks south of Poni Breaker Coast, meaning we can now surf in that area? Whereas the beach on Poni Wilds no longer has rocks around it, meaning you can get to Exeggutor Island without a boat? You can just surf there? There's a new white building on Secluded Beach, south of Route 12. There's a brand new beach area behind the motel on Route 2, as well as behind the Tide Song Hotel in Heahea City. The Elite Four area on Mount Lanukila has become more rounded, meaning the construction there is already complete at the start of the story? There's also a bit of cliffside jutting out on the bottom right of the mountain that intrudes onto Haina Desert. There are new orange buildings on the empty plots of Heahea City, Royal Avenue and Malie City, while the new Alola Photo Club buildings are in Hau'oli City and Konikoni City. Also nearly every building in Hau'oli City has changed colour. The plot on Seafolk Village still looks empty. It also looks as though some of the water in the Lake of the Sunne/Moone and Brooklet Hill are gone, but that could be a trick of the setting sun. A small island on Kala'e Bay has become much larger and nearly takes up the whole area now. Crosspeice fucked around with this message at 20:38 on Aug 18, 2017 |
