Cyndaquil actually got cancelled off the roster from the allegations
Crazy work
vagrant steppe
It’ll probably be a launch title
It's a switch one game
So it's weird it comes out after the switch 2
placid junco
We don’t even have a launch date for switch2 right?
Just a date for when they’ll actually do more than acknowledge it exists
golden lance
May iirc?
vagrant steppe
Oh right. This game will determine whether X or Y is canon

We have April for the switch 2 presentation

Have they shown Weedle???
team was made with the prediction that all Kalos mons, and all megas are in
I made that list a long time ago

At least for central kalos

You say that because they remind you of Kieran

I think champions will make vgc accessible to all demographic
If we get rental teams yea

We got easily the worst remakes, people downplay team galactic and most importantly Cyrus all the time, the games get clowned on for the slow combat. All we get is like... Cynthia every now and then? Maybe a looker appearance?
They also stopped doing megas before gen 4 remakes and now presumably a gen 6 starter is getting one

Tbh if Looker is in it
I'd love to see Anabel too
Also had been reminded today that the anime gave Anabel a crush on Ash lmao

Anabel is a good call, especially since there's Faller stuff in Arceus
Bringing back Anabel to explain more Faller stuff could be fun

Honestly I think Id like to see Emma more often just because it shows a progression of character over time

I'm sorry I like this 
inland gyro
my biggest issue is that like... there's no stylisation so like it looks low quality in terms of straight up raw graphics but there's then like not much effort to making it look good
short heath
But I can't help but feel dread that it's gonna be yet another game with great ideas bogged by engine and performance
inland gyro
like a lot of stuff in SV and still here just looks like the barebones was done
vagrant steppe
Honestly I think pokemon should've moved into the 2.5d department a while back

I loved going in a restaurant in SV and the shop menu popped up, and that was it

It's a "Gamefreak doesn't try at all issue"
pretty much like what shows this with the graphics isn't the like actual raw quality of the graphics itself but the effort to put details and stylisation into it
short heath
I can say good on GF for likely bringing back actual trainer customisation
But it's not something I'm gonna be hyped for

Serena. Girl hat is the same colorscheme as Lyra. Same hair / eye color, and her hairstyle is the same curving pigtails just smaller
The guy has Ethan's hair/eye color
the only problem is the hat not being 1:1 since the stripe isn't yellow/gold

the girl is more obvious, hell her pants and the red belt/bag matches lyra's outfit
