I'm glad the cover legendaries appear to be good dogs.

Are there any popular wolves/dogs in English folklore? Cause the only wolves I could think of that come in a pair are Hati and Skoll and those would have fit better in Pokemon Sun and Moon

also this waiting gonna suck

more games should do what SSBU did and just have a 40 minute direct where you flat out reveal the whole game and just reveal small new details every 2 months or so- it builds just as much hype if not more

I wanna know what new pokes we getting :mad:

While I like the whole Raid Battles thing, I find it a bit anticlimatic to be fighting old Pokemon but big.

If Ultra Beasts had been introduced this generation instead I think they would have worked great as Raid battles.

Speaking of Volcanion, what the hell is the deal with it? As far as I remember it's existence is not mentioned at all in the generation it debuted, heck it's existence was confirmed 2 years after the games came out (though maybe data miners leaked it earlier, I can't remember) and it was only distributed in one single event months right before gen VII was released without any fanfare at all.

Being a Fire/Water Mythical Pokemon you'd think he would at least have had a role in the ocean vs land remakes, but nope.

At least Arceus had the excuse of being the Poke God and has been distributed at least once every gen since.

Yup ditto, I just started my 3DS to start moving my pokes into SuMo/USUMO. If I'm not gonna be able to use the Pokebank for ShSw I won't remember when I have to renew it and poof goes my living dex

Is the Mega Evos and Z crystal confirmed not in the game at all? Not even post game? Like I don't mind Z crystals going away, but Mega Evos had some really cool designs like Mega Ampharos. At least they should make them into stage 4 evos.

The Galar dex will probably contain most if not all the Pokemon currently available in GO plus a few more from gen 5-7. In turn, GO will get quickpatched to include those select few pokemon from gen 5-7 + the new pokes from Galar region.

Doesn’t Go has like the entire first 4 gens now?

Yup, so Galar dex will probably contain most of gen 1-4th Pokes + a few from later gen that will probably be added to GO closer to the games release to maximize compatibility between the two, which seems to be what Nintendo is going for.

So would every one prefer for SwSh to be something along the lines of XY, a very bare bones game with nothing new but for it to have the complete dex?

Also I think XY ended up getting a pass because it graphically updated all the Poke models in order to futureproof them for future gens...

and here we are now. In the not so distant future.

e: like heck 10000 years from now when the alien overlords return to Earth and excavate our fossils they will scratch their heads trying to find the missing Pokemon game link between gen 5 and 6

What was incomplete about Sun and Moon? They were pretty good and well received Pokemon games I feel? I don't understand this new narrative that Gamefreak has been in freefall for a decade and that Gen VII was worse than Gen VI and Gen VIII is continuing the trend. Like in what world was S/M more rushed than X and Y?


Yeah, Sun and Moon were perfectly fine and in fact a lot better than XY. Ultra Sun and Moon on the other hand changed and added very little to the base game, so I guess that's where people are misremembering Gen VII as bad

I also think that you should be limited to 3 pokemon at the start of the game, and you slowly get to expand to 6 thanks to gym badges.

That sounds dangerously close to the first steps of microtransactions. "Unlock more Pokemon slots as you progress through the game, or pay $10 to unlock them now!"

double entendre

I will never not be creeped the gently caress out by Stufful's design. Like it has this cute nose, with the line going down from it that implies that's where it's mouth is, but then what appeared to be the outline of it's snout actually opens up revealing a void of horror.

And in this particular image, I can't unsee Kirby throwing his arms up in the air with the gate of Truth where it's stomach should be

Also I don't remember SM trailers giving away that much information about the game basically they showcased trials, totem pokemons, ultra beasts, team skull and the aether foundation which is a fair outline for the game. It's not like they revealed in the trailers that Lusamine BIG BAD despite her design shouting otherwise.

Sorry if it's an unpopular opinion, but the gigantamegazords that were revealed today all look like something that came out of a "draw x pokemon from memory" youtube video.

Also I got remembered of a scene in the I think 3rd pokemon movie where Entei has Charizard pinned down and about to kill it with a point blank Hyper Beam.




Back then little kid me was "please somebody stop him", but nowadays I am "Good. Just do it already".

stop the charizardkle jerk we've had enough forms

Dexnav is close to becoming obsolete though, what with overworld sprites and all. Granted, SwSh limits this only to the wild zone from what people have reported, but it's definitely where the games are heading towards.

Mythical Events as far as my memory serves sucked because a) you had to get an item by mystery trade or some other bullshit by driving to a Gamestop or similar which sucks for non US/European players and b) said "events" ingame amounted to using event item in place x to go to place y and fight and capture the Mythical.

If Mythical events were to be reincorporated they would have to make changes to address both of these problems like a) having the items be downloadable via Internet and b) having an actual event tied to the Mythical (like episode Delta for Deoxys). Heck, you can fuse the best of both worlds and have a DLC/Expansion pack that introduces new questlines that culminate in the capture of the mythical
