if you count as far back as when england was roman territory it could be a legendary pair of wolves based off of romulus and remus

charizard should look a little scarier since the trailer makes it look like there's a chase scene where dp is running away from one

As someone who hasn't seen the show since I was a kid, I'm mostly weirded out that they've stuck with Ash for so long instead of concluding his story and coming up with a new protagonist. I know it's shonen bullshit, but at the end of the day the Pokemon are the stars, so why even stick with this particular glorified Player Character?

because when you've been watching pokemon long enough to be tired of ash you've officially aged out of the target audience of the show

why throw away a lot of reusable merchandise assets by getting rid of ash when ash and some new guy would be equally new to a 5 year old just getting into pokemon?

Egg moves... another term I hear a lot. And read a lot. What’s egg moves?

(I also picture it being sang by Bob Seger.)

egg moves are moves that can only be acquired via breeding; to use a thread example, the piplup line can only get aqua ring by having a female of the piplup line breed with a compatiable male who has aqua ring

God, the last Dungeon has this tutorial that went on forever and a terrible (read: different from before) mechanic for recruiting. Had to put it down shortly after starting. Anyone know if it gets better? Reviews say that it doesn’t actually.

i much preferred the new recruit mechanic of 'do a specific sidequest to get this specific 'mon' than the old style of 'beat up mons over and over until you finally trigger the percentage chance that they'll join, many of them in the single digits by default'

a sweeper is something fast and strong with good type coverage to quickly sweep through the enemy's team. STAB is Same Type Attack Bonus, which just means attacks that are of the pokemon's type are more powerful

over 800 of them are just the balance pass though

like, they specifically future proofed the 3ds models to save themselves the labor for this exact scenario

even when the models already exist, there's still a poo poo load of work to do as far as adjusting for them, individually, the new lighting, environments, and whatever new systems, animations, and other elements that exist in the game.

they can afford to do that load of work, especially when they're going to be getting twenty more bucks out of everyone than they did in the 3ds days
