[jade ocean]

May have mixed up H-Goodra's current and past ability

In my defence it uses Sap Sipper

So I wouldn't know its other abilities

Finally, Sneasler gains Unburden, in an empty ability slot

Every other fully evolved Pokemon from L:A has its Abilities completely unchanged

And frankly, nobody cares about the NFEs from a competitive standpoint

But for some of them, the change will be exactly the same as their evolution

[fickle birch]

The second we see an announcement, someone typically starts working on a sprite. It's QC that takes longer. 🙂

What about my friend Malamar

[drowsy veldt]

can you're friend malamar smite zeus?

[tawdry flame]

Warning: real leaks have started to pop-up

|| mainly for unrevealed megas||

[jade ocean]

Started? They've popped up ages ago

Unless you're referring to the DLC specific Megas

[civic cave]

there are datamines starting from one or two week before release
I remember I saw the real paldea starter finals from a leak

[storm tinsel]

||They're so cute ||

[fickle birch]

||It could have been so much more cool.|| 😢

[storm tinsel]

||But cute dinosaur with so many neck pillow flowers||

[drowsy veldt]

||floral neck pillows attract bees. Wear at your own risk.||

[storm tinsel]

||swarm of mega beedrill chase after the meganium and the screaming trainer||

[fickle birch]

Because I absolutely hate the leaked design, here's my take on ||Mega Feraligatr|| again. 🙂

[lime void]

This is a friendly reminder that most leaks are fake, and should be taken with a grain of salt

[drowsy veldt]

Nacli is the salt I'm going to use as the grain of salt

[void brook]

Most "leaks" are just rumors, and they're mostly fake.

[fickle birch]

Although these leaks have been spot-on, and have pretty much described exactly how every officially revealed Mega looks (including more out there changes, like ||Victreebel's tied mouth|| and ||Malamar becoming super skinny and rainbowy||). 😮

[void brook]

I'd prefer if people didn't leak information on games.

[warm knot]

Wow, these mega designs are awful

[autumn shore]

Will Zygarde get a much needed bigger heavier role in the game?
Maybe a brand new form(e) we never seen?
Or an expanded story based on the scrapped Pokemon Z?

[void brook]

Zygarde will most likely get a far bigger role in ZA.

[drowsy veldt]

||zygarde for president||

[sturdy flower]

this image came out like a month ago

as far as i know there are no new images since yesterday

aka when some people got their hands on the game early

[storm tinsel]

Yeah I couldn't find any either, just wanted to look at the fella that I didn’t see before

[sinful dagger]

what the heck is this on the roof

Even though I'm really disgusted with a lot of decisions with this game, I am cautiously optimistic about the combat. I'll always love turn-based but the trailer did make the combat seem fun

[warm knot]

Are you going to buy it though?

[compact hare]

mega diancie confirmed

[sinful dagger]

I missed the return window with my switch 2

[warm knot]

Of course you did

[sinful dagger]

After I saw the direct my husband and I deliberated over it and I wound up being 2 days late. So yep, now I'm the slop consumer everyone despises :D

[warm knot]

[spare roost]

well, at the very least Tomodachi life 2

and the new fire emblem

[sinful dagger]

I originally got it for tomodachi and pokemon. Now that I've committed, just hoping for the best!

I guess they must just be where you mine rock mats from? Just strange they appear on buildings

if a meteor shower struck your house like this I think it would be decimated but houses in pokemon are probably just built different

[cunning sierra]

Maybe the post game ties into Mega Diancie?

I say that because of these dex entries

[warm knot]

Misery

[void brook]

That actually is a good theory.

[sinful dagger]

I thought mega stones in general had something to do with diancie and rayquaza and space or something

I never finished ORAS 😅

[warm knot]

I think the lore is they were caused by The Ultimate Weapon which was used 3000 years ago

It shows up in XY

[sweet crag]

He already exist

[flat imp]

I think... that might be the joke...

[jade ocean]

||Apparently according to leaks Malamar gets Close Combat in ZA||

||It does already have Superpower to abuse which boosts its Attack but another option would be nice as well ofc||

[desert current]

||Meganium isn't "cool," its cute. So why would its Mega be cool? idk I think it fits well. ||

[warm knot]

It's just kind of boring

[hazy knot]

||not my kind of mega, but pretty perfect for what it is if you ask me||

[storm tinsel]

||I feel meganium's mega fits it and makes perfect sense for its original cuter appearance than most starters. I like meganium and I like this mega. The row of flowers each being a different color is really nice too.||

||They look so soft and fluffy I want to hug||

[noble ice]

With legends-ZA coming out in 13 more days there’s something I’ve always think that game freak could’ve done (But be honest I’m probably too lazy to even do it) and that is having it where you can customize your Mega Stone.

Like how all characters have their mega stone as like a wristwatch or something, but what if you can have it like as a chain, earring, or even can be put on your character’s glasses.

I know they might do it. It’ll be cool if they can. But you guys tell me, if you could put your mega stone anywhere. Where would you have it as?

[warm knot]

They definitely should've had that in X/Y since it was the first game that let you change your clothes

Anyway I think Zinnia's weird mega leg thing was cool

[sinful dagger]

keychain megastone would be cute

[storm tinsel]

Ooh yeah that'd be really nice

[bleak idol]

the romhack Pokémon Unbound featured a few options which was nice

not that they appeared visually anywhere but your inventory, but 🤷‍♀️

[polar hatch]

did anyone notice in the demo after defeited mega absol and you got the mega gem, it's the same music of "Tower Of Mastory"

[drowsy veldt]

As I do not have game I did not notice

[polar hatch]

it's in the demo : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dzi-oo32Tpg&t=398s at 6:32

[polar hatch]

theory : Mustar and Gurkinn are brother

[rugged wharf]

I'm very excited for the game, but tbh the price is ass. I'll buy it as soon as I see a discount on it

[arctic pendant]

Sorry. But I don’t think that discount’s coming anytime soon

[rugged wharf]

Yea I'm not counting on it either

But a person can hope

[polar hatch]

and Amazon ?

44 € in france

(51.66 $)

[void brook]

What was the price for it?

[rugged wharf]

60€ for me

45 I could understand but I'm not in France

(70,45$)

And the Dlc another 30€

[polar hatch]

60 € Amazon Switch 2

[rugged wharf]

Nope 60 normal and 70 for switch 2

[rugged wharf]

Man I wish

Huh only 61.

But I only have a 1 anyway

[warm knot]

I wonder how many parents will buy their kids the wrong version of the game

"son i didnt realize you cant play the switch 2 version on the switch 1 I thought the switch 2 version was just better"

[tawdry flame]

I think someone found out that you can still play the switch 2 carts on switch 1

(granted if the game is available on switch 1)

[storm tinsel]

I think your best bet is someone who got it selling it for less, I think Nintendo just flat out doesn't do discounts/sales

[storm tinsel]

Oh yeah I can see that happening a lot unfortunately

[warm knot]

What you definitely should NOT do is wait for somebody to pirate it

[storm tinsel]

Absolutely NOT

[warm knot]

Under NO circumstances

[lime void]

Remember kids: the only good pirates are ones that wear straw hats

[golden finch]

That for sure aint 4k 😂

[golden finch]

Handheld never gonn run 4k

you need a good pc to run that, theres no way a handheld will do that 😂

Not even ps5 pro or xbox run on that

[polar hatch]

There is a man at the Prism Tower

Barricades are in real life XD

[amber monolith]

have you guys seen what happens when you use surf in legends ZA?

[lime void]

No, because the game’s not out yet

[drowsy veldt]

I have my swimming merit badge. I'll just swim instead of find surf.

[cloud shale]

okay I will be sure to NOT EVER do that

[amber monolith]

It’s just a giant tidal wave

[rustic rapids]

game looks good for a pokemon game but

price is also for a pokemon game

• the fact they announced a dlc before the game released is kinda crazy to me

shouldn't working on a dlc come after the release of a game?

or atleast the announcement of it

[wooden lion]

One theory I’ve heard is the announced the dlc early cus on pokemon day they’re gonna announce gen 10 so it wasn’t worth announcing the new gen and z-a dlc on the same day

[lament wraith]

it's so funny that Zygard waited 10 years for a game and it got cut out of the box art

[warm knot]

That's pretty crazy

[sacred harbor]

What’s this tho

[forest egret]

That's a Mega Steelix

[viscid adder]

you're acting like you've never seen a mega steelix before

[forest egret]

It's fair, it's off in the distance and the image quality isn't perfect, I can see why someone wouldn't be able to make it out at first

[unborn elm]

I thought it was mega Latios/latias cus it looked purple

[robust wren]

Mega Steelix does seem to be one of the more forgotten Megas overall, considering Mega Aggron did the bulky Steel Mega thing first and better

[sacred harbor]

i coudlnt tell

i see it now tho

[drowsy veldt]

Mega steelix isn't forgotten for me.
The only reason I can think of why I didn't use one is due to I rarely use steelix.
(Mostly due to you need to trade it and I am not buying a second 3ds so I can evolve one pokemon)

Also primal groudon is a thing and I don't prefer shared typings unless it is a gym leader challenge.

[polar hatch]

[cloud shale]

um… if you rub a Typhlosion’s fur doesn’t it ignite

that might not be the best idea

[lime void]

The man needs comfort from the false allegations. Leave him be

[gray canopy]

Didphlosion

[olive panther]

You rub slow and gentle. Low friction, no ignition. Just don't scruff it or else you're hands getting lit up.

[drowsy veldt]

i read the first part thinking these are cooking instructions

[noble ice]

Almost a week away until Pokémon legends–ZA comes out. I’m excited to see the new Megas that we’re gonna be getting. But I’ve always wondered if we’re gonna be getting any regional forms in this game.
So I want to ask you guys if they do plan on adding more regional forms to the game who would you like to see get a regional form and what would their type be?

[olive panther]

Technically, they're instructions to prevent cooking.

[olive panther]

Consensus at this stage is that we aren't getting regionals, but a regional absol variant more suited to living in cities would be something that would sell me on the spot. Doubly so if it had an evolution. Make its typing either dark/fairy, or dark/psychic.

[civic cave]

the tail is still a bit thick but it's much better than the 3d render

[opaque osprey]

Wonder which starter people are gonna choose?

I’m gonna choose chikorita and then transfer a shiny Totodile I have from Pokémon Go to Poke home

[forest egret]

Torchic

[worn cobalt]

TOTODILE!!!

[tawdry flame]

I'm not sure at this point tbh

[vale ore]

who are the starters? i forgor

[tawdry flame]

(although I usually choose water starters so )

[worn cobalt]

Chikorita, Totodile, and Tepig.

[vale ore]

oooo

[worn cobalt]

Basically, Johto and their buddy who got lost.

[vale ore]

i hate tepig so i cant go with fire starter, though i did go for grass because cat in violet

i usally go fire

i guess totodile.. sighhhhh

[tawdry flame]

Gen 7 is the only time where I chose something that isn't a water type

[worn cobalt]

I usually do Grass, although the only gens I don't are Johto (TOTODILE LITTLE BUDDY!!!), Kalos (I think Froakie is neat), Galar (I ended up getting recommended Scorbunny and loved that playthrough) and Paldea (FUECOCO LITTLE BUDDY!!!).

[vale ore]

if theres a cat i go for cat. if not then fire type (unless its ugly)

i only go for fire cuz gen 1 had my boy charmander

i hope they make a new remake of red at some point (i know fire red exists)

[worn cobalt]

There's also Let's Go, which is a remake of Yellow.

[vale ore]

ohhhh yeah i forgot

but it had pokemon go catching style which i liked but hated how you couldn't battle wild pokemon

[worn cobalt]

It's cute, and I think it's great for playing with kids, but... Let's Go isn't exactly my favorite game.

[vale ore]

yeah its a nice introduction for newer pokemon players

my favorite new gen game is prob scarlet and violet

the starters were cute and it had nice visuals

[worn cobalt]

Scarlet and Violet is fantastic. For more experienced/action-oriented players, I love Legends Arceus.

[vale ore]

my main complaint with arceus was it felt a little empty without multiplayer. that aside i loved the open world and everything

[worn cobalt]

Well, I guess it depends on if people have people to play with or not. But the open world and the "dodge their attacks" was awesome.

[vale ore]

yeah it felt really cool with the visuals of the attacks

[storm tinsel]

Not getting the game but I'd go Chikorita all the way

[storm bone]

ZA a week away

[autumn shore]

Is it 7 days until Legends ZA yet?
Just wondering if people still do countdowns to upcoming games

[fast cypress]

do you guys think we will get another mega reveal before z-a releases?

[forest egret]

It's only about a week away yeah? I doubt they'd do another now

[fast cypress]

well they do say this on the website

[gray canopy]

More pokemon coming when the game releases

[forest egret]

I'm gonna guess that's just been sitting there for a while and they haven't bothered to change it

And that, yeah. Doesn't mean more teasers

[wooden lion]

It’ll probs get updated once the game is out or a bit after that

[drowsy veldt]

As I lack funds and am disappointed in map size, I'm not picking any starter.
-# but if I did get the game I would have no clue who to pick.

[lime void]

1 week left

[polar hatch]

so exited !!!!

[lime void]

Of course there will be more new megas in the game, but they’re probably not going to do another reveal when the game’s this close to coming out

[polar hatch]

https://tenor.com/view/gigachad-zygarde-pokémon-pokémon-legends-za-kalos-gif-6843721612711664659

this diva will get a mega

[lime void]

The Z-A starters are also definitely going to get megas

[wooden lion]

I’m hoping they get regional variants as well but ik it’s not gonna happen

[lyric crystal]

Launch DLC for a $70+ Pokemon game is disgusting

[void brook]

I agree.

If you're going to have a DLC for a game, at least let it be out for a while before you announce the DLC.

[warm knot]

Don't worry, people will be sure to buy it anyway

[void brook]

As I have mentioned before, I will not buy the DLC unless something I really want is in it.

[drowsy veldt]

sims 4 dlc where they remake sims 3 supernatural dlc pack but as 4 different packs for sims 4 costing around 40 dollars each.

i feel like nintendo is copying ea with overpriced dlc

[void brook]

It would be Game Freak I believe putting the price on those.

[drowsy veldt]

-# at least not to the same extent

[robust wren]

Whether or not I buy ZA depends entirely on whether or not they butcher Mega Starmie

If it really does end up being the Patrick legs meme, I'm 100 percent out

[void brook]

I'm only going to buy it to see if I would want to buy the Pokemon game after ZA.

[indigo mango]

and less content

in some cases, i think they did vampires well but then dropped the ball

[tepid flame]

Vampires suffer from being way too early in TS4's lifetime

I give it a bit of a slack versus like idk the Fairy pack where it's an inexcusable bumrush job

[tawdry flame]

(ZA Spoilers) ||Apparently we're getting 3 more megas||

[warm knot]

Mega eevee

X Y and Z

[tawdry flame]

(Spoilers) || it's actually zeraora, heatran, and darkai||

|| supposedly datamined from the day 1 update||

[warm knot]

||Darkrai finally gets something||

[drowsy veldt]

||how dead are we if the nightmare pokemon gets a mega?||

[arctic pendant]

Yes

[robust wren]

||Mega Heatran|| sounds like it could be cool. Can't wait to resent it in a few months when it's only available in a GameStop card that you need to pay $5 for only for it to be scalped for up to $30

[sturdy flower]

it's literally not on launch

[storm tinsel]

Doesn't both the game and DLC come out October 16th or am I misreading?

[sturdy flower]

you're misreading

there are two cosmetics item that you get on launch if you buy the dlc

but the dlc itself comes out next year between january and February

[storm tinsel]

Then why on the store page do they have October 16th? Did they mean that for the cosmetics items or Legends ZA itseld and not specify?

Oh my god nevermind I found it

This was under read more

Why would they not specify on the release date section, that's so confusing

Anyway thankyou for clarifying, I really thought the whole thing was ready on launch

[sturdy flower]

oh there you go february 28th, i forgot they had already specified the date

[vale ore]

how is ||3 more megas|| a spoiler?

[little nacelle]

it's crazy reading the differences in audience reception based on the NA youtube videos and the JPN ones

Japanese players are just so positive

[amber monolith]

not sure how new this is, but i don't remember seeing it until just now

that one new mega evolution: metal pipe sound

||though maybe mega zygarde is holding an explosive, idk||

[drowsy veldt]

||who gave zygarde a grenade?||

[amber monolith]

||probably stole the ultimate weapon from Az, which made him lose his royal status, so he becomes a hotel manager||

though that brings up some inconsistencies, or at least i think

||AZ being the king of kalos (3,000 years before XY), ultimate weapon, blah blah blah. Then Legends ZA takes place, he's the current owner of Hotel Z. In XY, he first appears in route 13, eventually gets captured||

now that i'm thinking about it, maybe there ain't any inconsistencies
do i gotta use spoilers even if i'm not even talking about spoiler things? it's tedious :V

[drowsy veldt]

||for a second there i thought you were implying zygarde is a hotel manager||

[worn cobalt]

I just found out my Z-A order was nearly cancelled. Got it fixed though, we good.

[amber monolith]

||but since AZ was a king 3,000 years before XY, then becomes a hotel owner in legends ZA, then randomly shows up in XY at route 13, how'd he get from a king -> hotel owner -> random raggedy man||

[amber monolith]

||Zygarde stole AZ's ultimate weapon for his mega evolution, then AZ lost his royal status and has to become a hotel manager||

[little nacelle]

How so

[worn cobalt]

Well, they messaged me my card didn't work. Guess I had changed the card number since then. Fixed it now.

[little nacelle]

Ah

[outer frigate]

there isnt a reason to so i didnt

I preordered through the Pokemon Center.

three megas just got leaked

Mega ||scolipede||

Mega ||drampa||

alleged Mega ||Emboar||

[sacred harbor]

Thank you 🙏 send more you find I beg

[void brook]

I don't want to see the leaked megas, as I would rather see it for myself when I play the game.

[sturdy flower]

i will

[tawdry flame]

|| ||

[sturdy flower]

a video of ||mega drampa|| just got leaked

[tawdry flame]

|| it sucks that video's text blocks a lot of mega drampa's design ||

|| because the design is generally awesome||

[cloud shale]

I think ZA is after XY

if that helps some timeline stuff make sense for you

[amber monolith]

It’s not

[cloud shale]

legends game yes but prequel no

[cloud shale]

… it most definitely is

[amber monolith]

||but it’s the development of lumiose city||

[cloud shale]

redevelopment

[warm knot]

Huh ||Mega Drampa|| looks kinda cool

[sacred harbor]

It’s the future no?

Cuz az is old

[cloud shale]

I mean he was old in XY too

[amber monolith]

he’s already from 3,000 years before XY

[cloud shale]

but yeah characters that are confirmed to be in the game are definitely post XY

[amber monolith]

And you’re right, I looked it up

sorry

[cloud shale]

for example ||emma is in the game but she’s a full time adult detective||

[amber monolith]

😔

[sacred harbor]

Yk what I mean skull 💀 he’s using a cane that he wasn’t using in xy showing he’s older / his body is getting weaker in old age

[sacred harbor]

The kid from the post game?

[cloud shale]

yeah ||she’s an orphan and she’s manipulated by the remnants of team flare but player and Looker save her and she’s sort of taken under lookers wing it’s very wholesome||

[sacred harbor]

Ya ya ya I remember

[cloud shale]

arguably better than the main story /hj

[amber monolith]

"old age" is kinda confusing

when he's already from 3,000 years ago before the events of XY

[sacred harbor]

Bruh if you look at his design from both games what one are you gonna say looks older

Look at how frail he looks now 😭

[amber monolith]

but at least he's got better "style"

wearing "neat" clothes vs "hobo style"

[cloud shale]

I would headcanon that ||3000 years ago Xerneas cursed him to live immortally without Floette but after XY Floette came back and he started aging again||

but that’s entirely theory on my part

[amber monolith]

then again

i don't really care about the pokemon games as much as i used to

the first legends game made me lose interest, and i haven't bothered to play SV

[cloud shale]

I care about Pokemon games deeply! Just not the new official ones

[amber monolith]

SwSh is probably my favorites

that's all i'm gonna say

[cloud shale]

feed me fan games, PIF challenge runs, and replays of the Unova games

please

I have high hopes for ZA but I also don’t have a Switch/2 because they’re so expensive so it doesn’t really matter to me

[indigo mango]

its only like 10 years in the future, dude just has different drip. i would think he just has the cane for comfort sicne his leg is injured..before that he probably let the pain happen cause he was punishing himself but once he got reuinited with his pokemon, he got himself the cane to support himself

[indigo mango]

...why not just use the actual canon?

AZ is immortal as a side effect of the Ultimate Weapon

[cloud shale]

oh i didnt know that

ok

thanks

[indigo mango]

it ressurected fFloette and made him Immortal

its also the reason hes a giant

[sacred harbor]

That’s fire

[warm knot]

Is the secret to growing taller bombing the world and becoming immortal?

[sacred harbor]

😭 are you short I’m guessing?

[warm knot]

Short is relative

[tawdry flame]

ZA spoiler ||mega chandelure looks awesome ||

[indigo mango]

the Immortal part makes sense since it was to revive the dead but i have no idea how that made him tall lul

probably just radiation mutation

[drowsy veldt]

no, you just go use the body editing software in Idealized Fantasy over there
-# did not copy the idea from saints row 4. no proof.

[indigo mango]

man nobody spoilering images. spoiled already 7 megas just by scrolling twatter

[warm knot]

First mistake was using twitter

Mega ||Scrafty||

it definitely does

Lowkey might be tuff

I was so scared for Mega Scrafty after Mega Victreebel and was worried it would be another joke Mega. But this is pretty solid.

[robust wren]

I can't believe they made ||Scolipede|| slay

[lavish spindle]

Is a rom available or not yet?

[warm knot]

The game isn't even out yet bro

[lavish spindle]

Since the leaks are already available, maybe someone already has a copy of the Cartridge

[autumn shore]

Who will the new mega evolutions be?
And don't we have full evolved menag evolutions for totodile chikorita and tepig yet?

Mega not menag ignore typo

[drowsy veldt]

I will not ignore the typo

[sacred harbor]

Scarlet violet was playable like 3 weeks before release

[indigo mango]

probably around 20 new ones

[indigo mango]

and yeah they got leaked

[robust wren]

I'm so scared for when Mega Starmie inevitably leaks

[hazy knot]

It will be glorious.

if i don’t get feraligatr its going straight to the team fr 🔥

[indigo mango]

im not really planning on using megas but i atleast already know 2 members of my planned team will have megas

planned only if i can get the mons early game, if not i will just make a team of 6 i can find and run the game with that

[robust wren]

I was planning on using Mega Delphox, but... Well...

this is || mega chandelure || right? (i enjoy suffering)

this is one of my faves so far

[warm knot]

@marsh swift this seems kinda inappropriate is this ok

[amber monolith]

don’t think camels violate rule 2

maybe they do

[forest egret]

Man, ||Mega Feraligatr|| looks awful dude

That really sucks. ||It's my favourite water starter|| so seeing it get that as a final form really is disappointing

Full image of the dude since it was only his face posted earlier I think

I'm fully aware ||The top jaw goes down|| on the design but I still don't really like this one that much

[odd cave]

They could at least give more attributes to its head or something

So it doesn't look too bland

[storm tinsel]

I'm so confused, I can't tell what I'm looking at

[forest egret]

||The big red thing on the top is a fake jaw, kinda like what Regidrago has||

It opens and closes

[storm tinsel]

It looks incredibly weird open, and I'm not sure I'd have much faith in it looking much better closed

[sacred harbor]

So when it closes it uses its arms as the bottom jaw apparently

[forest egret]

Yeah the spikes on the arms are the teeth

There was a Q&A from a leaker who played the game, and he said that ||Mega Feraligatr only closes its mouth during its attacks, and its resting position is open like this||

[sacred harbor]

Idk it’s cool

[forest egret]

I think it's kinda lame

[sacred harbor]

Crocodiles leave mouths open anyways 😭 pretty sure

Cuz all the muscles are built to close it not open

[forest egret]

If they were going to do that then, they should've changed what we're looking at then

[sacred harbor]

Idk it’s separate enough from the original and isn’t to crazy

And considering your rarely gonna have it resting cuz you only will have it in that form in fights

[forest egret]

It's just regular ||feraligatr with black lines and a toilet seat||

[sacred harbor]

||😭 cuz mega embour isn’t just embour with a stick and meganium isn’t just megsnium win more flowers||

[forest egret]

I haven't even mentioned the others. You assume I love them

[sacred harbor]

What ones

Oh

Im just saying it’s not like it’s way worse then the standard for megas imo

[forest egret]

||I kinda like Mega Meganium it's ok. I wish they changed its head a little more but I think its flowers and leafy legs look cool. Emboar kinda looks lame but tbh his leak image is awful, I would like to see a more detailed pic||

[sacred harbor]

I don’t like the ones that change a lot of like the body structure tho cuz I’m imagining them going back and forth between the forms so like if it’s to much it’s not my favorite

[forest egret]

The one they have is like 10p quality

1bit image

[sacred harbor]

Ya but you can make out enough o thought

[storm tinsel]

I am eager to see better pictures of all of them (don't think anything could save feraligatr for me though sadly)

[sacred harbor]

Idk I saw a fake leak a while ago that was worse so lowkey I’m overhyped for this current form

😭

[storm tinsel]

OH MY GOD

[forest egret]

The fake ai generated mega feraligatr yeah

[storm tinsel]

YEP THAT'S WORSE XD

[sacred harbor]

Bro I lowkey almost cried

Cuz I thought I wasn’t gonna have a starter

[storm tinsel]

Yeah that would be warranted

[sacred harbor]

||Yo I didn’t realize mega zygaude was real ||

[forest egret]

I quite like its actual body and everything. ||Idk if I like the giant nuke it's holding though||

[sacred harbor]

😭 bro it looks so bad

[forest egret]

It's a little too extra. If it was just the design as-is without that I think I'd be ok with it

[sacred harbor]

Mmmm to close to the original at that point

I think if they made the giant think maybe like a ball of energy it’s controlling instead

[storm tinsel]

I like Zygarde as a snake thing better I don't like the 100% form that much

[forest egret]

I also like Zygarde more as a snake

But I don't mind 100% either

I don't overly care for the dog though

[sacred harbor]

Design wise I liked 10 the most

I thought the snake was weird

Cuz it went like legs no legs legs

[forest egret]

The snake is the first form though

The other ones came after

That's kinda their failing rather than 50%'s

[sacred harbor]

The snake alone sucks for me

If it was a single pokemon line I’d want it to be either of the other 2 then the snake

[forest egret]

||I quite enjoy how he's all broken looking. They slim him down like his pieces are breaking off or something, and he's got all that glowing green and the fire on his head||

[sacred harbor]

Ya I also like the way he’s floating now

[forest egret]

But ||that thing he's holding is kinda silly||

[jade ocean]

||Bro took the Engineer's words to heart||

[sacred harbor]

But imagine it more like

But like it’s more struggling to do it

And trying to force it to stay yk

[storm tinsel]

||Yeah the mega is an improvement over base 100's design but it's overshadowed by how comically big the thing it's holding is||

[robust wren]

||not entirely sure that that weird thing it's holding isn't something story related and not actually part of the design||

||either way, if it is indeed derivative from Complete, that could rival Mega Rayquaza in broken-ness||

[robust wren]

Ultimately my biggest issue with ||Mega Zygarde|| is that it keeps ||Zygarde Complete's awful and poorly thought out kneepads||

[little nacelle]

Guys...

New 🐪 leak...

https://tenor.com/view/pokemon-camerupt-deedrill-gif-11481932

[dawn raptor]

holy W

[little nacelle]

Wait why is it called camerupt when it's a dromedary in its mega

Smh

[sand nacelle]

After fenrir, jorgurmandr and hela , it's Yggdrasil now

[jade ocean]

||Based on stat leaks, it is, so there's almost no doubt in my mind this is AG||

[livid bluff]

i will be choosing totodile

no question

[hazy knot]

understandable

im picking whatever pin i get from the pre-order

[little nacelle]

you were sorta right on tauros i guess

from the kantonians the only one you had right was like tauros, diglett and scyther

From the johtomons you were only right on teddiursa 💀

for the hoenns, you were... pretty spot on except for wailmer and kecleon

For sinnoh: HAH (all of these are not in SV even after DLC.)

For Unova: you were wrong on most of these except Deerling and Rufflet

For the Kalos mons: yeah you were right on all of these

Alolans: just Rockruff and Fomantis in base SV

For the Galarians: only nickit wasn't present

[warm knot]

I thought that was papa smurf for a second

[robust wren]

||Base 808 BST,|| let's go!

[tawdry flame]

|| Apparently mega zygarde has a base 778 stat total||

Also the game has been fully leaked now

[warm knot]

Already? That's crazy

I hope someone releases a playable verison on pc soon then

I don't wanna buy a switch or this game

[tawdry flame]

The entire dex as well

[warm knot]

Wow people are fast

[lime void]

This is a friendly reminder that the vast majority of leaks are fake, and as such, all leaks should be treated as if they are fake, and they should never ever be shared EVER

[tawdry flame]

So don't share them?

Ok

[indigo mango]

looks so bad but still wild how that one ||has more changes then the actual mega||

[copper sequoia]

checking out some of the leaks rn ||WHY DID THEY COOK SO HARD WITH BARBARACLE AND DRAMPA||

[tawdry flame]

|| mega starmie is so funny yet so basic ||

[copper sequoia]

I like how|| they gave dumbass megas to dumbass kanto pokemon ||

[tawdry flame]

|| Why ||

[copper sequoia]

have you seen the animation leak

good lord

[tawdry flame]

yeah

|| IT LITERALLY DOES THE PATRICK LONG LEGS POSE FROM THE FIRST SPONGEBOB MOVIE||

[warm knot]

Is that really what it looks like

What a joke

[copper sequoia]

dude my friend is the #1 giga ||falinks fan hes gonna freak when he sees the mega||

peak character design

||wish there were more gen 7-9 megas though :( maybe in dimensions||

[odd cave]

I feel like a kid waking up to Christmas gifts except I'm waking up to leaks

The Leekmas spirit is real

[tawdry flame]

||Should I post the full dex images?||

[sweet crag]

Why not

[tawdry flame]

|| dex including shinies (also includes regionals but those are for pokemon home support)||

[copper sequoia]

Actual 1984|| wheres the hoenn starters||

||WHY ARE THE KANTO STARTERS THERE BUT NO HOENN :(||

[sturdy flower]

you have no idea how hard I'm laughing lmao

@warm knot @lime void I'm usually not this petty and spiteful but this time really stuck with me

guess who was right

[sweet crag]

Why there are galarian forms

[indigo mango]

mmh?

[sweet crag]

Look at this and you will see galarian forms @indigo mango

[indigo mango]

ah its spoilerd so i wont look

[sturdy flower]

pokemon home compatibility prolly

[sweet crag]

Maybe

[sturdy flower]

but you can get ||falinks|| so maybe that's why

dunno

[indigo mango]

i dont think pokemon home is the reason, the way its stated you can transfer pokemon in but cant take any out, so i dont think the game allows every mon, so if galarian forms are in then they will probably also be in the game anyway without home

which i sitll think is weird but somewhat i get it, the game changes how stuff works about mons so i could see it not working to transfer changed mons back to home

[warm knot]

https://tenor.com/view/sad-depressed-gif-18156874

I'm sorry to have ever doubted you

[indigo mango]

lul

[sacred harbor]

Fr

I’m lowkey let down no mudkip sob pray for him in dlc

[indigo mango]

huh?

no mudkip? that seems wild i was expecting the game to atleast have every already existing mega

[sacred harbor]

Ye no mudkip 😭

[odd cave]

Are there other megas missing? Aside from the hoenn starters

[sturdy flower]

||ray, eon twins, groudon, kyogre||

i think that's it?

really strange

they'll probably be in the dlc

[odd cave]

Yeah that'll be my guess

[jade ocean]

Newer stat leaks released and they seem to be more agreed upon by leakers

Good news! ||Mega Eternal Floette doesn't have 200 SpA||

Bad news...

||Mega Zygarde Complete has fucking 216||

||Mega Starmie gets 140 Attack and an overall 140 BST boost, explained by Mega Mawile gaining 147 Attack. It seems Mega Starmie will have 100 Attack and Huge Power on future games. However, as the Abilities are currently the same as the base forms for the new Megas, we don't know for sure||

||Zygarde does only get 70 BST boost overall but like, 216 SpA lmao||

[tawdry flame]

|| 778 BST Zygarde ||

[lime void]

Considering that there is still no official source saying that there’s going to be megas for Gen 7-9 Pokémon, I’m still right

[robust wren]

||"Please, please use Core Enforcer. We realize we messed up when we made it a special attack when Zygarde has better physical stats and options, but this will fix it, right?' -Gamefreak immediately after building an actual nuclear bomb||

[jade ocean]

||It does have a massive fucking deathray on its back||

[robust wren]

|| I was about to say "at least Lands Wrath has a reason to be used now" but no that's been a physical move all along despite what my brain thought lol||

||actual most irrelevant move of all time||

[jade ocean]

||Even then, that's only in VGC, otherwise it's just worse than Earth Power||

||Even if it was Special it'd be a fraud move, ain't that crazy?||

[warm knot]

I hope if the leaks are true ||And Heatran is getting a mega it has earth eater||

[sturdy flower]

dude there literally are IN THE IMAGE ABOVE MY POST

they're RIGHT THERE

[brisk night]

|| if the ability/move leaks are correct - they should have given mega eelektross earth eater instead of levitate, probably the only thing better than levitate itself /j but i acknowledge that they kind of dug themselves into a hole with the no-weaknesses thing ||

[lime void]

Is it an OFFICIAL source?

[warm knot]

||Levitate is somewhat better because it makes you immune to hazards||

||but I think it's affected by knock down so maybe not||

[jade ocean]

||Ability leaks for the Megas don't exist yet I believe, current Abilities are the same as base and are just standins||

[brisk night]

|| oh i didn't think about that. good point ||
|| just make a new goated ability ||

[brisk night]

oh makes sense

[warm knot]

||As one (levitate + wonder guard)||

[jade ocean]

||Starmie getting a 140 BST boost could imply it gets Huge Power, for example, as Mawile gets a similar boost apparently||

||Since Starmie's attack is apparently 140||

[sturdy flower]

DUDE THE GAME GOT LEAKED. THE WHOLE THING

[brisk night]

|| nothing will defeat mold breaker excadrill ||

[sturdy flower]

this is taken straight from the game

[warm knot]

Eight fucking ground types

Holy shit

[lime void]

LEAKS ARE ALWAYS FAKE. That was the entire point of my criticism

[sturdy flower]

you can't be fucking real

it's gotta be ragebait at this point

[copper sequoia]

ok talking thematics ||why would starmie get huge power i can see mawile getting huge power because she gets a second bigass head but why starmie are his legs powerful LOL||

i want|| mega malamar to be meta because hes the coolest fucking thing ever but i swear he dies to a single uturn theres no way this thing has any bulk||

[jade ocean]

||Explain it having 140 Attack and only 130 SpA with a 140 BST boost then||

[copper sequoia]

something malicious is brewing

[jade ocean]

||And do explain why Mega Mawile has been leaked to have about 40 higher Attack than normal||

[copper sequoia]

stuff like this makes me wish the legends games have abilities i wanna see what gamefreak is cooking right now

I still think its dumb how theres megas in a game without abilities which is kind of the point of megas but whatever

[brisk night]

does za have no abilities?

i know arceus didn't but i kind of thought that tied in to the whole lack of pokemon knowledge thing

[indigo mango]

is it? i dont remember anyone ever mention abbilites, its always about the 100 stat boost and design

[brisk night]

and yeah seems kind of silly to have megas w/o abilities?

[sturdy flower]

this is not a drill: shiny mega Dragonite is in fact light blue like dragonair

we are so back

[indigo mango]

only info i seen of that was someone who was very clear about it being fanart

[sturdy flower]

no we have renders from the game

[indigo mango]

i eman we had renders from the game for ahwile and those wherent real

[sturdy flower]

again, the entire game got leaked a few hours ago

there's several people playing it already

all the mega models are getting ripped and posted

same with the entire Pokedex which was posted earlier

[indigo mango]

ye i seen people are just assholes

could atleast spoiler tag the stuff lul. i got spoiled on like 10 megas already

[copper sequoia]

im like? 70% sure there isnt, its obe of the main draws for me not buying the game because wow combat focused game missing an importsnt combat mechanic

[sturdy flower]

yeah no abilities indeed

we've known for quite some time actually

[copper sequoia]

it was fine in pla because theres like 2 battles that matter but idk feels dumb in za

[sturdy flower]

well there's a lot you haven't seen yet so you're fine

looks like i will in fact be getting the game

hopefully it runs decently on switch 1

[robust wren]

Without showing any pictures, I have to say if the leaks are real, Mega ||Froslass|| is everything I hoped it would be looks wise

[copper sequoia]

RIGHT very badass very cool

[sturdy flower]

oh yeah same

it's exactly like the description

I'm so getting in for my team

speaking of cool megas

[odd cave]

||Apparently they tried to give most points to its special defense and only 10 to its attack so yeah it's kinda ass tbh||

[brisk night]

it's cool but looks more gigantamax than mega? idk just a tall girlboss

[sturdy flower]

||barbaracle and scolipede|| are INSANE

[robust wren]

||Mega Barbaracle|| makes me feel vindicated as someone who always loved it

[sturdy flower]

nah it sucks, the mega is the only redeeming quality

[jade ocean]

Tbf, Aerilate is ICONIC to Mega Mence and Pinsir

[robust wren]

I especially loved how ||the head barnacle looks like it's giving The Horns🤘||

[sturdy flower]

it's actually crazy, it gives ultimate lifeform vibes

wait I'll post it

spoilered ofc

[jade ocean]

Also ||Mega Barbaracle is an aurafarmer and I love it for that||

[copper sequoia]

idk for some megas that kind of feels like their gimmick ie aerialate users, kangaskan, mawile, swampert I Guess

[jade ocean]

That said though the stat boosts are half, if not 100% of the Megas

[jade ocean]

Altaria and Pixilate too is another big one

[indigo mango]

mmh. i mean i enevr palyed with megas or cared for abbiltiies but even then i never seen anyone mention abbilties when talking megas

[jade ocean]

We got people running Ddance Return on it because of that

[indigo mango]

till now i guess lul

[jade ocean]

Ddance Return Earthquake Roost, even

[sturdy flower]

mega ||barbaracle||

[copper sequoia]

||THEY DID NOT NEED TO COOK THAT HARD WITH BARBARACLE AND DRAMPA||

[warm knot]

what da sigma

[jade ocean]

But yeah, I'm overall plenty satisfied with the new Megas

They look cool, and some of them have very crazy stats

[robust wren]

At the very least I feel like I can happily use a bunch of the Megas, even if the Delphox Mega I wanted to use is being kept from me, and Mega ||Feraligatr just looks like it's wearing a toilet seat||

[jade ocean]

cough cough ||Mega Zygarde's 216 SpA||

[copper sequoia]

Im looking forward to even more megas in dimensions since thats not gonna be revealed until release date right

[jade ocean]

Yeah those ones are complete unknown factors to us

[warm knot]

I'm looking forward to more paywalled megas

[robust wren]

||I will never forgive Mega Starmie though. It deserved a much better design than just the Patrick meme||

[copper sequoia]

So true!

[jade ocean]

True

That's the biggest disappointment to me, ||I fucking love Starmie||

But it seems like it's shaping out to have an absurd ability once those exist

[warm knot]

Could've been cool to have it lean more into the star part

Have it be like floating instead of standing

[robust wren]

My absolute favorite is probably either ||Froslass, Drampa, Barbaracle, or Scolipede||

Delphox is up there too, but I hate the online restriction

[copper sequoia]

||we know zygarde is absolutely gonna be super uber giga mega anything goes but other than him who do you think are gonna be the new meta freaks ||

[sturdy flower]

the complete Pokedex + shinydex

[sturdy flower]

idk if you saw the ripped model but mega ||feraligatr actually has four arms, two of which form the jaw of the bigger head||

[warm knot]

||Drampa looks kinda crazy I'm ngl, I disliked most of the new megas but Drampa looks cool||

[copper sequoia]

The gray is such a good addition

[robust wren]

||Still looks like a toilet 🚽||

[copper sequoia]

Wait actually i didnt pay attention to the leaked animation that closely thats funny

[sturdy flower]

yeah we had no idea until now

[robust wren]

||Whoever designed the ZA Starter Megas was clearly an Emboring fan, even if I still dislike it it's got easily the most thought put into its design||

[copper sequoia]

||idk i love both emboar and meganiums megas||

[odd cave]

Chill ||barbaracle|| we see the fit 😭🙏

[robust wren]

|| Mega²nium is ultimately my favorite of the 3, but even that's not in my top 10 favorite ZA Megas||

[jade ocean]

||Barbaracle with Shell Smash is one||

[sturdy flower]

he thinks he's Kars

[jade ocean]

Kalos Starters all have rather minmaxed stats

So I'd imagine they'd perform well too

[odd cave]

||If chandelure gets shadow tag we're cooked||

[jade ocean]

Surely saying minmaxed stats isn't a spoiler right

But apart from that I don't have enough confidence in my skill to judge

[robust wren]

||Mega Feraligatr would probably do well, what with how good Water/Dragon is as a type combo (assuming it gets good Dragon STAB)||

[jade ocean]

I mean, if people far better than I am misjudged Ursaluna and Pecharunt

I'm probably gonna misjudge shit harder than they are

[warm knot]

He's got the lesbian pose

[robust wren]

||Feraligatr keeping Sheer Force as an ability for its Mega if it's available in Champions/Gen 10 is probably the best case scenario for it||

[jade ocean]

||I really want Barbaracle to get No Guard||

||Since it's Rock/Fighting, right?||

[robust wren]

||it will probably end up getting Strong Jaw with no STAB to abuse it with though||

[warm knot]

||Feel bad for Typhlosion fans that they didn't get a mega but also the other two starter megas are kinda lame||

[jade ocean]

||The 2 main moves I know Barbaracle gets for those types are Stone Edge and Cross Chop||

[sturdy flower]

frieza is my favorite lesbian

[jade ocean]

||And those would really like No Guard||

[warm knot]

For real

[robust wren]

||No Guard Stone Edge on something with Shell Smash sounds scary if it ever gets a chance to set up (easier said than done considering it's not the best type defensively)||

[jade ocean]

||Ooh...||

||... Well, on the bright side, that's a lot of resists||

||And it has pretty good bulk, so it could tank weaker SE hits or maybe a Bullet Punch from Scizor or something||

[sturdy flower]

there's a guy on youtube streaming the game

[sacred harbor]

No way

[warm knot]

But he's fr*nch

[copper sequoia]

i caved and decided to listen to some of the leaked osts

Holy shit

[copper sequoia]

OST means Original Sound Track

[hazy knot]

Okay

[odd cave]

What does OST mean?

[robust wren]

Obscenely Soft Tissues

[warm knot]

Ostentatiously Swift Taylors

||someone managed to rip the models and I'm gonna be honest...
this design is growing on me.||

[glacial nymph]

Ladies and gentlemen and everything in between.
We have won.

[viscid adder]

GENDER NEUTRAL CLOTHING!
LETS GOOOO

[forest egret]

||It's head looks ok when its closed but I still don't really like that the feraligatr itself is mostly unchanged, especially if he's gonna be what we see for most of the time||

[sacred harbor]

It’s fire

[viscid adder]

||fun fact: a lot of the mega evolutions are just "this pokemon but something's different"
Mega Feralgatr fits right in.||

[forest egret]

I think he sucks and I'm not going to be swayed on this

[viscid adder]

||It's an aligator that's disguising itself as cute but then completely wrecking people's shit. It's a wolf in sheep's clothing... but instead its a Feralgatr in Totodile clothing||

[forest egret]

I'm fully aware of the concept

[robust wren]

||It looks like a Feraligatr in toilet clothing||

[hazy knot]

||skibidi toilet||

[indigo mango]

they could have done soemthing here but then didnt

[warm knot]

How did you rip the models

[sturdy flower]

they didn't

other people did, then posted it on twitter

then it spread to reddit and then discord

[warm knot]

Oh I misread that

https://tenor.com/view/patrick-star-dumb-empty-head-moron-spongebob-gif-11976325420190756370

[storm tinsel]

FINALLY! (now if only this happened when I still played)

[tawdry flame]

||clear look at mega emboar from twitter||

[drowsy veldt]

||why is he evil wizard?||

[warm knot]

Huh you know it's a bit weird looking but I kind of like it

It's funky

[brisk night]

considering how little i like the original mon, i enjoy that design surprisingly much

now || my boi eelektross || on the other hand... idk how to feel about that mega :/

[sturdy flower]

it looks great wdym

i would send three pics of it but i don't wanna rename them to spoiler them

[robust wren]

I'm just glad that my love for ||Barbaracle|| was finally vindicated by how many people have fallen in love with its mega

[sturdy flower]

they're on Pory's twitter and on r/pokeleaks

[sturdy flower]

i mean it's hard not to

that shit is genuinely incredible

[warm knot]

Oh I haven't seen ||mega eelektross|| yet

Is it any good

[sturdy flower]

which makes shit like victreebel, ||starmie and feraligatr|| even worse

[sturdy flower]

i like it

[warm knot]

Awesome

[sturdy flower]

i can send it in dm

[warm knot]

Please do

[robust wren]

On a non- Pokemon (the creatures) note, we need to have a Death Note edit of this

[sturdy flower]

we still don't know who the fuck that guy is in game

at least I don't

[robust wren]

It's pretty obvious when you remember the XY cast, but I'll save the surprise

[warm knot]

||Mega Feraligatr reminds me of Chainsaw Man with how it has four arms that split at the elbows||

It's wacky

[sturdy flower]

i haven't played XY lol

[sturdy flower]

apparently I'm stupid and that's wrong

[brisk night]

honestly the inherent design ain't bad but the rendering looks off imo

[sturdy flower]

||i completely forgot about the in game picture of it. the reason it has two pairs of arms is purely for ease of animation, specifically when it closes up. it simply has two different sets for the two poses||

[sturdy flower]

elaborate

[brisk night]

|| not sure if those are supposed to be fins or blobs trailing out of the arms, kind of wish they'd done something more like regular eel or tynamo's fins ||

[sturdy flower]

they're ||fins yeah||

i think it's fine ngl

it's cool how they basically ||fused each member of the line together||

[brisk night]

|| i still think they look a bit tubular for fins, but to each their own ¯_(ツ)_/¯ ||

[indigo mango]

these few years where not good to ||Lysander|| damn

[sturdy flower]

||eelektross body, eelektrik arms that are tynamo colored||

[sturdy flower]

oh you mean those? yeah i explained what they are

||they're kinda like, conjoined twins||

[brisk night]

i guess that makes sense XD

[odd cave]

I'm tempted to do a mono-fighting run cuz how tf did gamefreak cook with all the fighting megas

[warm knot]

Wdym

[robust wren]

You probably wouldn't look too great either if you ||had a life force nuke go off in your face||

[drowsy veldt]

||i can respawn from a nuke, but this is about lysandre so ignore me.
(i really just want to be involved in all of this black bar stuff that swarmed the channel)||

[robust wren]

Extreme amounts of spoilers are to be expected when it's leak season for the upcoming game I suppose

[warm knot]

The contrast is always funny between just after a game is released where we have no info and right before it comes out where we know everything

[robust wren]

||We've got Mega Skarmory now... And I kinda wish we didn't, I'm gonna be real||

[warm knot]

Wow it looks kind of lame

[robust wren]

||Why the feet... Why... Also atrocious shade of yellow||

[storm tinsel]

||That design made me go ??????????????????????||

[robust wren]

||I get that Skarmory is probably a tough design to make an improvement on, but they could have done better than... That.||

[storm tinsel]

||Usually I can kind of tell what they were going for but here? No idea||

||It looks like an ugly cross between Zapdos and Skarmory more than a Skarmory mega||

[robust wren]

||I think it's supposed to look gold and the freaky feet are supposed to reference the Jacana, but it just doesn't work. That's not a flattering shade of yellow at all||

[hazy knot]

||first mega ive genuinely disliked, what is this ||

[storm tinsel]

||That's what we're all wondering ||

[robust wren]

||Banana feet||

[warm knot]

||Can always add more wings||

||Honestly I would've given it thicker armorer plating and made it look more like a flying fortress I think that could've been cool||

[robust wren]

||I can kinda see a designer deciding that becoming an armored flying bulwark was more Corviknight's thing and wanted to differentiate Skarmory by making it more of a sleek sword bird, but it isn't even sleek looking like this||

[warm knot]

||That's a good point, it just kind of looks like that one curry seagull now||

[odd cave]

Literally this thing

[warm knot]

EVOLUTION

[forest egret]

Not too big on it

[forest egret]

Leak dude spoiler. He's pretty cool

[jade ocean]

||Might look more gold in game, like the metallic Pokemon in SV||

||Let's hope||

[storm tinsel]

||The colors are nice (except for the purple that blends into the red too much, granted that might be a carried over problem from base Scolipede), although I feel the head spikes might be slightly too big and the chest piece looks strange. Maybe it looks better at a different angle.||

[little nacelle]

okay i like this one a lot more than... ||skarmory||

[storm tinsel]

Yeah I think ||Skarmory|| isn't that high of a bar

[little nacelle]

greetings

[jade ocean]

||According to leaks, no. But feel free to tell us if you find them anyways and the leaks are incorrect||

[storm tinsel]

You're going to live in the walls against everyone's will

[little nacelle]

I'm guessing DLC?

[storm tinsel]

Oh could be

[little nacelle]

SPOILER ||maybe BECAUSE IT WAS KALOS, IDIOT :||

||nothing special will happen to you (lie)||

[storm tinsel]

You may enter Kalos but no one leaves...

[little nacelle]

[storm tinsel]

||Totodile is just staring into space, silly fella, I get you Totodile akjfnaifnioa||

[jade ocean]

Which sounds like an absolute nightmare

[little nacelle]

||shes looking for tourists||

[jade ocean]

So hopefully they don't bring that with them into Champions or Gen 10

[storm tinsel]

Pokemon never balances anything so...

[little nacelle]

oh my god ||im not looking for a parasocial relationship taunie||

(STORY SPOILER AGAIN BTW)

[storm tinsel]

I like learning what this game is through many screenshots, it's like a little slide show XD

[little nacelle]

hi ||diancie on the billboard|| (not a spoiler perse but)

[opaque osprey]

The Channel gonna be flooded with Spoiler lmao.
Too bad I have night shift the day before release and that the shop also only opens at noon (Shift ends at 7.30am and my house quite far from the shop). \

[little nacelle]

@storm tinsel do you want me to dm you so i don't absolutely hammer the channel with spoils (spam/flood prevention)

[storm tinsel]

Lol sure

[little nacelle]

intro spoiler and story spoiler

same as above, next slide

THIEF

SPOILER FOR GAME CONTROLS ||B button is no longer crouching, it's the left stick button now||

hello

[little nacelle]

found a shiny/jk

[plucky escarp]

the games out?

i havent really been following it, thought it was a few more days though

[little nacelle]

Nope

3 days

[plucky escarp]

il probably get it, though i am a bit tentative knowing how it will likely run like ass on the switch 1

[rustic rapids]

I'm just here for the vibes

I'm skipping this game

if I hear bad reviews about it I'll also skip the next one

I don't have faith in gamefreak

[plucky escarp]

people do?

[rustic rapids]

apparently

[plucky escarp]

imagine

[rustic rapids]

like

SV was fine

but

it wasn't close to what I'd imagine a company of this size making

[plucky escarp]

felt like an indy title tbh

[rustic rapids]

for the price tag too

[plucky escarp]

well thats doing indy devs a disservice

[rustic rapids]

idk it felt too distant too be one

[plucky escarp]

i will probably buy a switch 2 eventually, might wait till then, still unsure

rn theres no games on it

[rustic rapids]

I'm not really invested in many nintendo franchises so until that changes I'd be fine with not having it

[robust wren]

There's just no reason to buy a Switch 2, and I'm certainly not buying it for any future Pokemon games

[storm tinsel]

Yeah

[robust wren]

Bananza is like the only good game on it, but I don't care how great it is it's not worth a new console

So unless there's an amazing Zelda game on the horizon or some other god tier exclusive, this will probably be the first Nintendo console generation in a while that I skip entirely

[storm tinsel]

There's a ton of great indie games at a fraction of the cost, so it's no real loss to me.

[robust wren]

||To be fair I would not qualify Mega Starmie as "special."||

[little nacelle]

||the special thing is becoming a abomination||

[spiral frigate]

90% of the new megas look ass wtf 😭

[robust wren]

I do like the majority of the Megas, but yeah there's a lot of trash this time around

My top 5 are probably Malamar, Delphox, ||Barbaracle, Froslass, and Scolipede.||
My bottom 5 are probably Raichu Y, ||Skarmory, Feraligatr, Victreebel, and Starmie.||

All of my least favorite Megas are ones from ZA tho. All of the ones from XY and ORAS are more appealing than a good chunk of ZA's

[sturdy flower]

horrendous take

[spiral frigate]

Mega skamory

Is just skamory

With golden paint

[sturdy flower]

it's still not 90%

[spiral frigate]

And bigger toe nails

[hazy knot]

mega ||skarmory|| is the only bad mega

[spiral frigate]

Mega feraligatr

[sturdy flower]

90% of 26 means 23

you think there are 3 good megas?

[severe pier]

That one looks stupid but its animations are awesome

[hazy knot]

not great but like yeah there are so many good ones 💔

[spiral frigate]

Hence my statement

[severe pier]

Z-A Mega Evolution leaks, you have been warned ⬇️

[tawdry flame]

I'm honestly still stuck on what my team should be besides || feraligatr and vanilluxe||

[severe pier]

My team is just going to be all Pokemon that can mega evolve

[spiral frigate]

Only 2 of them were half decent and ond that looks accurate to the line but is dissapointing

[severe pier]

Yeah the animations really carry them

[spiral frigate]

They just slapped a big ass cannon on zygarde and call it a mega evo

[sturdy flower]

froslass, gardevoir, scolipede, mawile for sure

[spiral frigate]

The cannon looks like a streched out pikumiu

[sturdy flower]

maybe drampa?

[severe pier]

I actually think that one looks pretty damn cool

[tawdry flame]

Should I include scrafty or falinks in my team

[spiral frigate]

The concept is cool but how they designed the cannon ruins it

[severe pier]

The new megas are definitely very safe for mega designs though, hopefully the mega demensions will have some more out there designs

[sturdy flower]

oh i can see myself using eelektross

[severe pier]

same

[spiral frigate]

I still prefer the gen 3 megas more than this mess

Most of them is just a reskin tbh

[severe pier]

Not the way i would describe them but alright.

Mega Skarmory sure doesnt do much but it gets the idea of it across

very safe

And yeah there are some outlandish designs like Mega Victreebel and Mega Malamar which are very fun designs

[spiral frigate]

They're not taking risks anymore which shows in the mega leaks

[severe pier]

Tbf Mega Evoltuions returning is a very safe move

its all safe, no edge

the children yearn for a Legends Unova set in the past

[spiral frigate]

Nostalgia points for that but the way they design those feels like a sight for sore eyes

[severe pier]

Yeah

[spiral frigate]

I kinda like mega malamar ngl

Reminds me of megamind

[severe pier]

[little nacelle]

hi

i mean we all knew she WAS here

i'm not saying when or where she appears though thats a spoiler

HELL NO I AM NOT ||I JUST HAD HUGE PROBLEMS FIGHTING A PIKACHU||

SHE ||NARUTO RUNS||

please ||stop stalking me||

okay so ||naveen is born in lumiose||

||Lida's got a "older brother" who dances (TIERNO)||

[tawdry flame]

||have you found a shiny yet ||

[little nacelle]

Enjoying my time in lumiose so far tbf

[little nacelle]

no

[gray canopy]

Mega chimecho will def be meta defining and not stupid dumb

[little nacelle]

SPOILER

You can spoiler a message by using || CONTENT ||. So, doing ||Anorith is a amazing pokemon|| will result in ||Anorith is a amazing pokemon||

use |

huh, ||The lucky egg as a canary item||

[tawdry flame]

interesting

[little nacelle]

i'm guessing ||They are using the plushes to substitute items not in Z-A?||

STORY SPOILER:

||You can break mega crystals using any DAMAGING move. Growl, Tail whip or string shot WILL fail||

forgot to spoiler initial image

aha collission

i really like the music

[warm knot]

Oh the game came out today I forgot

I hope they leak it for pc

[little nacelle]

... it comes out in 3 days

[warm knot]

Oh how are you already playing

Did they leak it? That would be cool

[little nacelle]

yes.

and for the former question i can't say

anyway

||Binacle gets angry at you if it escapes from the ball a lot||

[warm knot]

Dang, well if the information somehow ends up in my dms I won't tell anyone

[little nacelle]

again i am not allowed to answer that

[warm knot]

[little nacelle]

Search engines.

thats all i can say

youll have to figure out the rest.

[warm knot]

https://tenor.com/view/sponge-bob-looking-search-gif-13137604

[little nacelle]

i ought to run out of pokeballs lmao

catching too many magikarp

gee ||this is a non suspicious color scheme||

||NOT SUSPICIOUS AT ALL||

[robust wren]

||I despise Mega Clefables stupid hat but love Mega Dragalge's luxurious flowing mane. Must go to the same stylist as Mega Ampharos.||

||also the in-game metallic shine of Mega Skarmory really doesn't help it that much, still looks really bad||

[little nacelle]

||you think Toby had a hand in this? First the Spear, then the Hammer, and now the Fist of Justice?|| STORY/CHARACTER SPOILER

||hey the fucking fletchling are free||

[fast cypress]

Guys, image if mega dragonite gets aerialate as its ability

[robust wren]

Mega Dragonite getting any good offensive ability would turn it into one of the absolute best offensive Pokemon overnight thanks to SD, DDance, and Multiscale. It would become the ultimate setup sweeper

[storm tinsel]

||Oh my god the starmie...||

||It's beautiful||

[sturdy flower]

that sounds awesome but judging from how shit SV was with optimization I'm very scared

[warm knot]

SV had a very big and extremeley empty map

[sturdy flower]

that was their first attempt at an open world and it was horrible

[warm knot]

If Gen X is anything like that it won't be interesting imo
