Also the fire starter has to turn into a dragon otherwise the zodiac theory is busted

Charizard's already taking up the dragon slot in the zodiac. If anything, Fuecoco's gonna turn into a super long crocodile and be a "snake".

this is gen 9, a regular pokemon game right? not like Arceus? because that duck starter has me ready to play again
They didn't really show gameplay, but it looks like Sw/Sh but open world?

That’s just Tohoku and Chugoku. Chugoku could have some interesting stuff about the hare of inaba and Hiroshima castle I guess.

As for the anime, I’m curious whether Journeys will come to an end or just add the new region into the mix (personally I’d kind of like to see a more back to basics style season like was the case with the original through XYZ)

I think new season set in spain, yeah. Haven't seen the last few episodes, but it is ramping up a lot and getting closer to Ash vs Leon. IDK how traditional it'd be

Again a very likpatous story
More people on Twitter are pointing out that the map in the room during the live action segment of the trailer is basically just a map of Spain (with Portugal covered up) and that the big castle in the trailer looks very similar to the Sagrada Família.

Ash is now #15 in the rankings so we’re getting close at least, yeah (Marnie and Piers finally made their debut in the most recent episode along with Team Yell)

Back to the game, all the starters look pretty cool to me but I’ve always picked Water since the very first game and that’s likely not going to change anytime soon

There's also other recognizable buildings, a painting of a flamenco dancer and the map parts shown even have loving Gibraltar of all things.

Also a funny joke that the northwest is filled with lakes because that region in Spain is reaaaallly rainy all year long, no wonder it flooded :v:

(edit: I wrote this post too late)

yeah, I think it's Spain, it's the architecture from Assassin's Creed IV set in the Caribbean, I recognize rainy plains with the rocky cliffsides from National Geographic's Wild Portugal, this might be reaching but the hats of the main characters are bent a little like conquistador helmets, and this is the flag of the Second Spanish Republic



but at the same time I'm thinking "but wasn't red already in the title of a Pokemon game"

even though it's another yearly release, I have hope that this one will be polished since the main team didn't work on BDSP and this is incorporating elements from Arceus

The open world stuff looking so similar to PLA and so soon after it came out makes me kinda feel like PLA was just a side project from the assets they were making for this. If it's really coming in 2022 that makes it unlikely that PLA was a test run or stepping stone.

Speaking of, I wonder if they’ll let us chuck balls at Pokémon from the overworld or go back to the traditional “run into them to initiate a battle” style of the other games

I think it'll be much better than SwSh, but it still won't be as good as we'd like. Incremental improvements.

I probably won't like it as much as PLA, but hopefully it ends up to where I like what I see enough to buy.

Yeah, the us site mentions capturing pokemon via wild battles.

Normally I'd say no, but they did officially bill Legends as a mainline game, which even introduced all-new pokémon, so I would upgrade that to "probably not."

there's also the hokuriku along the sea of japan coast, and i figure that the hiroshima/okayama area is close enough to shikoku that they could work in the parts of the island closest to honshu

My immediate reaction seeing it in the trailer was "what the gently caress is that thing". Why does the fire starter look like an apple? Why does the crocodile have hairs? Is that what those even are? What are those if not hairs? "Bubble bobble apple gator" is a concept that could be done well but Feucoco completely drops the ball.

I’ve always had good luck with the Water starter ever since Gen 1 and that’s likely not going to change here but yeah, they all look pretty good to me.

Speaking of, is the gator supposed to be an apple or a pepper?

Avalerion
Oct 19, 2012

Gonna read into the new starters description a bit, probably reaching but...

Sprigatito The capricious, attention-seeking Grass Cat Pokémon - grass/fairy perhaps?

Fuecoco The laid-back Fire Croc Pokémon that does things at its own pace - could see it become fire/ground or fire/rock.

Quaxly The earnest and tidy Duckling Pokémon - dunno, water/fighting? Or just water/flying cause duck I guess.

Just please don't stay monotype this time. :pray:

I'm pretty sure it's a pepper, which makes more sense with Fire too

I like all three of the starters and the trailer looked cool. Definitely leaning Scarlet.

The playable boy looks so dorky but I appreciate that it looks like an actual real world outfit. A slightly more grounded visual style would be interesting IMO. Kind of like new donk city
