True, Centro is a fraud
do you realize that centro isn't a leaker
But I'm pre-preparing the joever statements
he just reposts shit
this is all from the teraleak
Oh
it's the same dude as the first time
I understand that, but I just prefer using literally anything else as sources lmao
he's almost as bad as lategame khu
So we should treat this like it's not true yet
Well we have plenty of other leaks rn so we're not starved for stuff
nah it's probably true
but also, gen x would be in early development rn
so this idea could be true and just scrapped, could be an early idea, or could end up being in the full game
True true
But if they try to go the Starfield route for real then the game will probably suck people will buy it anyway
Yeah he falls for fake leaks all the time. I assume the stuff relating to the teraleak is true though
||Fluffy!!!! :D||
Dog
no way this is true surely not right?
it is
which is so fucking stupid
like, why would you do this
Well that's GameFreak for you
I learnt not to make the entire playable area a single model on day 1 of development
which did create more problems but that's not the point
but this a genuinely baffling decision
no shit it impacts performance
I dont think I know of a single game that has done this off the top of my head
pong technically?
hi
not even smb1 did this btw
i guarantee that if they actually used LODs the game could comfortably have those fabled high res balconies
im going to be VERY real :>
Old mario games use chunks for their levels. That was 40 years ago
very simple; Backface culling
1 step forward and 5 backwards
Yeah but that shouldn't be necessary lmao
it isn't loaded until it has to be
it's still a weird approach
But it works better if you can unload entire models
|| for anyone who has the game, does it run smoothly?||
so far, ||yes||
this way even things very far away are loaded
i have no doubt they've made it run fine but this is an odd fucking way of doing it
things hidden might not be but even a tree you can barely see will be fully loaded
no
instead of using a low poly model
especially because it makes the map pretty much unupdatable without a lot of effort
i've been ||on the hotel's rooftop||
It won't be fully loaded tbf, but the front will be
from what I've seen from people playing, yes
even on switch 1
yeah i guess
well I'll still get the game but it's such a weird decision
I'm still gonna get it for sure
||emma plays her theme||
I wasn't sure, so i waited until leak season to see all megas and some footage
and sure enough, I'm satisfied with both
Forgot what day it was lol
the game looks genuinely really fun
and i really dig the artistic style
also i can finally have mega ||froslass||
vengeance after so long
I'm so happy she got a better mega than ||glalie||
||emma investigating things||
I don't love that one myself
I found a website where you can see the new megas from leaks (not offical)
we know i am p sure
i despise ||starmie.||
it's so bad but it's so funny
We all do
WHO THE HELL came with the idea ||lets give starmie long legs make a earthbound reference and call it a day||
like ||victreebel and clefable|| are just bad
HEY DONT SLANDER VICTREEBEL
I like Victreebel
actually it's a Spongebob reference
every time i make a mega tierlist i make an extra tier just for it
Funny mega 
Abysmal dogshit tier
so done with offensive moves ffs
The gif makes it look like he killed that dude
i mean
victreebel is okay
seeing ||skarmory and Starmie||, Victreebel is the LEAST of our worries
hes my starter
||skarmory is not good but it's not nearly as bad as victreebel and starmie||
I don't know why they did what they did with him
i was hoping he'd finally get a w
he deserved it
||Skarmory|| is a real shame. ||I don't even mind the big feet that much, but like they could've changed other stuff about him no? He's just gold it sucks||
now it's completely over
||Starmie is so funny, I can't believe they really did just give it long legs, the mock up drawings had a few small details for other megas wrong so I thought maybe there was a little more, NOPE. Oh my god Starmie XDDDDD||
The team i'm probably going with is Emboar, Ampharos, idk the other ones that i want, i'm probably picking up simisage at one point
the most accurate description by far lmao
I get it's like a sentai reference, and the animation is funny, but no I'm not big on that one at all
My least favourite megas are still the raichus though
God the raichus
i mean at least they tried SOMETHING with the raichus
but holy fuck ||starmie|| is THE WORST
Poor fellas just got told they weren't good enough because they weren't the mascott
||They elongated Starmies legs and made it a Tiktok dancer, and I'm supposed to like that?||
Yeah they tried to make them into pikachu
Kind of an insult
i hate that fact yeah theyre low for me too
x is bad, y is decent
I still feel ||skarmory|| is the worst, they just ruined the design without adding anything fun or cool onto it ajfnuiaenfioanfi
||How does Mega Skarmory keep looking worse and worse 😭||
DAAAAAMN
Oh my god 
MEGA EVOLUTION!!!!!!!
The stepper
feet longer than it's body
i said this on september 1st and this is my reaction from the start of today
time to redesign mega ||starmie because holy fuck no its bad||
the leaked ||mega barbaracle|| model fucking gaslit me
jk it would need to be voted in the FIRST place
Is it just me or is almost every new mega kind of ass
it has twice as many arms as the in game model
I don't know what happened
they're just missing
I'm a big fan of this guy
The only ones I genuinely like are ||Falinks because it's funny, Barbanacle and Scolipede||
I like ||meganium||... And that might be it nakjfnjanjfika
All the other ones are so lame
the kalos starter megas practically are trying to carry the rest of kalos lmao
look at the model
I don't even like that one so much
Understandable
yeah, this is caused by the model using different arms for animations, same can be seen on ||feraligatr's leak||
I wanna make a poll to see what the favorite and least favorite Megas are here but I can't spoiler mark them
it looks empty without them
i thought that was it but you can see the arms intertwining with each other
I believe he can poke arms in and out of his body in his animations, so I assume this model's just got all of them extended out
Make an image assigning a number to all the mega pokemon and spoil the image and have the poll just have the numbers for options
yeah yeah that's it
i can send a tierlist
huh, ||Pancham but no Pangoro||?
peculiar
leaked megas tierlist
have fun
only leaked megas btw
delphox sweep
feel free to change the tiers btw
you don't have to stick to those
i didn't
ok i lied about delphox
Very mixed opinions on the new Megas overall. Lots of great ones, but the bad is really bad.
||I love that you put Starmie all the way at the bottom alone
||
It's what it deserves
||Starmie with the long legs is reminding me of a wacky inflatable tube man||
I love || Dragalgae || so much it's exactly what I was hoping for
||Dragalge|| must have gone to the same hairstylist as Mega Ampharos cause it's similarly fabulous
No particular orders within tiers
Crazy how "Greninja but it's upside down" managed to be one of the less disappointing new Megas LMAO
Meanwhile ||Drampa|| of all mons got the glow up of the decade
poop vs poop vs pee vs poop vs poop vs poop vs crap vs poop vs poop
Pretty disappointed how a lot of megas were just "what if this pokemon looked like a pre evolution"
i'll probably get shot for my placement of malamar
but i don't care
i used to like it but it's just so fucking ugly
||scolipede|| did
they cooked SO FUCKING HARD
I don't think that many did that aside from Dragonite which was reasonable and Raichu which was just blatantly hating Raichu and loving Pikachu shznsjsksi
and ||golisopod|| is getting a mega in the dlc
so everyone in NGS will have a special form
What would that even look like I wonder
||Scolipede|| was already an amazing design TBF. It's Mega took it from a 9/10 to a 10/10. ||Drampa|| was at a 4, now it's a 10.
No
nahhhh ||drampa|| wasn't a 4
I always liked ||Drampa|| and this mega's a pretty solid take
||raichu x
raichu y
chimecho
absol (Z?)
staraptor
garchomp (Z?)
lucario (Z?)
golurk
meowstic
crabominable
golisopod
magearna (2 forms)
scovillain
glimmora
tatsugiri (3 forms)
baxcalibur||
I think ||Clefable|| would be like a B tier if not for ||that stupid hat||
datamined dlc megas
aka, these are in the game's files
there are a few solid picks
but many are genuinely baffling
I would have never guessed ||chimecho|| or ||another form for ones that already one|| also ||rip Flygon, sorry buddy they hate you||
||chimecho is probably the most predictable out of any of that list imo. i mean tatsugiri?? 😭||
genuinely stupid pick
but ||glimmora|| is straight up braindead
so many better picks in ||gen 9||
FUCKING ||TINKATON||???
I kinda wonder what it'd look like atleast. It's already kind of an abstract pokemon so I'm curious where they go
I will hear no ||Glimmora|| slander
it did not need a mega dude
||Okay actually all of you are right, I somehow glossed over a lot of the mons in the list, chimecho is definitely not the most unexpected snzjsmsjsk||
||Crabominable|| would probably just become even more hideous
Paldea is based off of Spain and Portugal, Spain and Portugal are underneath France
sooooo
oh 100%
there is no salvaging it
alot of Gen 7 picks too
DLC mega are really drawn out of a hat
?
Legends Alola game next? 🙏
i didn't say they shoudln't have picked ||gen 9|| mons
i said there are better ones
wait they're hiding pokemon Violet and Scarlet 2: Switch 3 edition underneath the city of lumiose no way
it's ||legends galar ||
right but i am explaining why they might have chosen a lot of Gen 9 Pokemon
thats the second dlc! every paldean pokemon will get a mega evolution!
even tho alola and unova deserve one way more
ye never know
||Golisopod with no EE and Scovillain having a chance to not suck|| has potential that excites me at least
you do
not all the time
with the teraleak yes
take a look on r/pokeleaks
the amount of info on gen 10 and even 11 is crazy
||Mega Annihilape who uses a new punch move that kills you in real life||
Bro imagine flying from island to island on the back of like idk
like idk
Also TF they giving ||Magearna|| two whole Megas for? It's already broken to hell and back
Mega Latis 2.0
It’s like for the 2 forms it has
Chz remember it has the pokeball coloring
🤷♂️
Either way it doesn't need a Mega at all. It's like giving Flutter Mane a Mega
That might just be color swap like the meowstics
I don't think Pokemon really cares about stats and competitive balancing when it comes to which pokemon get megas
or mega meowstic gets a combined mega like Pyroar
Naw cuz tatsigiri has 3 for its 3 colors
I think if we all had to guess what pokemon they'd give megas to or die pretty sure this server would suddenly be empty...
Tatsugiri's forms are borderline pallette swaps
||What crazy Godzilla iteration do you think Mega Baxcalibur would be based on, and how can they make it even more absurdly powerful?||
||SHIN||
Ya that’s my point with why it says 2 for megearna, it’s not like maternaa x and y it’s just 1 but with 2 color forms
PLEASE LET IT BE ||SHIN||
Also ||Feraligatr|| and debatably ||eelektross||
Feraligatr does not fit that description 😭
Although I still don't really like it, ||Feraligatr's|| way of doing it is interesting if nothing else
it does
||Eelektross|| at least did something clever with it
You think it looks more like pre evolution?
|||the extra red head makes it look like totodile when it's closed||
Feraligatr just straight up looks like Totodile
its really caried by its animations, like ||mega starmie||
Like it's just totodile it's not even inspired thats just a big totodile
😭 don’t see it
also ||eelektross is clearly meant to be inspired by it's preevos||
I agree, it's at least unique if nothing else
But man this new game makes me irrationally angry
||main boyd is eelektross, the two side bodies are eelektrik and they're tynamo colored||
||Mega Starmie|| just became a Tiktok dancer, those animations couldn't carry a small rock
Wrong reply
I might just be easy to please as far as pokemon goes, but ||Mega Starmie's animations are just silly enough to get a chuckle out of me||
He's even got the spikes as little fake ||toto|| arms
OH SHIT I JUST NOTICED THAT ||THE RED SPIKES ARE MEANT TO LOOK LIKE ARMS||
that actually makes me like it just a bit more
I think he looks cool when he's all closed up, I just kinda don't really like when he opens back up
That’s tuff tho
Die!
calm down dude
Honestly, even closed up, I don't like how absurdly big the "head" is. It looks like a cheap mascot costume
it's not worth it
Alligator my beloved
I am a hater
Okay yeah that is infact just a big totodile, I didn't get a look at the mask down before
Imma repost this here if anyone wants to see the animations
do this instead
Good idea
I don't really care if people like/dislike different megas than I do. It's not that big of a deal
I know there's some people who really love those two raichu megas
I think I'm getting a little old for pokemon
You mean mega pikachu 😭
One thing I can appreciate is how they slowly revealed some of the megas and left some to be discovered in game
They started revealing a lot less in Sword and Shield and I think that was the right call
Yeah unlike the Sun and Moon hype cycle
Ya but dlc pre game release lowkey crazy
I agree with that
i mean its just what modern gaming does and it sucks that Nintendo is now praticapating in it
Whispers at all of you
Indie gaaaames...
Nintendo are like the Bethesda of Japan
Any good indie game recommendations great spheal
Beastieball
I know a bunch of cool indie horror games but that I don't know how relevant that will be to a server of pokemon fans shsnsjsjsi
Sounds fun
Any of them free
I've been playing a bit of Hollow Knight but I died a bunch to the Flukemarm boss and lost all my geo
Silksong and Hades 2 in the same month pretty crazy

Hades 2 been in early access for like a year tho
I mean if you go on Itch, you can find a ton of cool free web games that are really good :0
I know but it hit full release
Naw stare at peak is crazy
You gotta spoiler it
Sorry
It's all good
It is yeah
If someone wants horror Look Outside and Home Safety Hotline are really cool (both cost money though)
I put it in there jokingly but honestly the animations grew on me
Demon Bluff you can play for free on Steam right now, it's a one player social deduction card game
But if you want a game similar to pokemon I really recommend Beastieball, it's super cute and your little beasties play agressive games of volleyball
LOL NO WAY
Valid
I am unsure what the no way means
It’s peak your trolling
nuh uh
it's so lame
out of all gen 8 mons that's what they picked
what a joke
oh yeah i forgot that we're getting mega ||zeraora, darkrai and heatran|| too
dunno if in the mega dimension dlc or in the fabled second dlc
probably the former
Imagine if they sell the second dlc separately
I mean hasn't that been what they've been doing
Yeah I kind of thought it being another purchase was a given
Isle of Armor and Crown Tundra were both one payment with both expansions being dropped separately. Same with Teal Mask and Indigo Disc
The gen 8 and 9 dlcs were bundled together
Ohhhhh
Yeah like timmy said
||Fs in the chat for Flygon||
Okay I am genuinely surprised
yeah but they were announced together
Kind of hilarious how it never got one in the end
Oh true
there's still hope
If they haven't announced the second dlc yet there's a very good chance they sell it by itself
The ||Second Garchomp|| really is salt in the wound
||I'm more shocked they didn't go with Charizard Z||
I never got any pokemon dlc I just assumed the previous games two different dlcs were individually bought
don't jynx it please
Shocking they didn't make it individual purchases knowing them
||Garchomp is basically the Charizard of Gen 4 TBF. Even associated with the most iconic Gen 4 character||
||Piano noises||
||There's a second Garchomp??||
They make mons to appease all types of ppl so yes
If JustRick's list is accurate, yes
That's hilarious
What
it comes straight from the game files
so yes
As long as we don't get Charizard Z
Guys is mega Zard z is real somebody’s gotta pull a Luigi on gamefreak
GameFreak may I interest you in a different dragon mega, one that is green and red and would make a great bug dragon...
That's a crazy thing to say
Incineroar started losing VGCs recently, so Mega Incin might happen with how coddled it is
I imagine Mega ||Glimmora|| will probably just be a callback to ||Terastalization|| with how tied to ||Tera|| lore it is
What if every unrevealed dlc mega follows ||starmie|| and they just get super long legs. If the pokemon didn't have legs, too bad they've been legged now.
Greetings
my wifi died
my Z-A did not though
YOU DONT WANNA KNOW HOW MANY POKEBALLS WENT INTO THAT ||ariados||
||I love everyone on the team is so silly and chill and then there is just angry spider that will kill you||
You can ||find that ariados way overleveled|| right ||under the gate, it's hanging from a web on the first hall in bleu sector 1, to the left||
Your playing it?
👍
How
What
Ya I’ve heard the music is a banger
Their uncle works at nintendo
i've fully unlocked this part of the map (i think)
apart from ||most of the shops||
You think the map is big enough or naw
so far ||i haven't seen any ride pokemon or anything i've been trawling EVERYTHING ON FOOT||
the map ||is FINE imo.||
in terms of size
anyway
good news and bad news for those caring ||about interiors.||
||shops do NOT have interiors. they have backgrounds, though unlike SV where it was literally a menu. RESTAURANTS/CAFES HAVE FULL INTERIOR.|| SPOILER FOR HOW THE GAME'S LOCATIONS LOOK
gonna finish off the pokecenter run i'm doing to register them all
@little nacelle if you get ||mega froslass (you will, there's one rogue somewhere at a certain point)|| can you send a few pics
i'm probably not getting to that point before game release
as i said, i like playing it my own way a bit so i don't lay full focus on the current plotline lmao
well i might not be able to play until my birthday anyways
which is in two weeks
this is why AI art... isn't art...
do you confirm
i've been having a bit of fun with exception of two things
uh oh
- battles are a pain in the ass for me since my keybinds are put on SV and PLA. This just takes getting used to
this isnt the games fault
just mines
alright fair enough
and 2. spoiler
||the scaffolding obbies sometimes don't let you climb ledges even though humanely you should be able to please dear god||
lmao
Did legends come out?
Is that demo version or something
Wdym
Each of ||these six zones the city is divided by.||
||Magenta District and the center of lumiose has accordions.||
||Rouge District has trumpets||
||Jaune District has french horn||
||Vert District has bassoon||
||Bleu District has flute||
This is all ||for the main motif you hear throughout the city ||
i just went around lumiose center to figure that out lmao
Only a handful ||of these pokemon are actually in ZA||
||really underselling the grippers here||
i mean, that's the only point to sell
anyway yall
im gonna off the game now
this is my end of the day team
i might switch one of these guys out for another mon i caught
probably ||bunnelby|| ||since normals not that great and binacle alr got me covered||
how’s the difficulty of the game compared to legends arceus?
...
a lot more difficult
IMO
though again that might be because my controls are fucked and i keep spamming status moves
especially because ||wild mons CAN HIT YOU IN BATTLE||
||literally half my team wiped to Ariados||
Then I shall stay away from the game
tbf its a opinion
i can see it being easier for others ||since you can ALSO just dodge moves||
||and you can still run away like Arceus.||
@amber monolith
||the reason i was being broken down by a ariados was because i was 10 levels under it LMAO||
noble battles in PLA were tough, and i pretty much just stopped playing after avalugg
the PLA beating was probably the reason why I didn’t buy SV
||ariados is proving it is not a weak spider.
(Idk if you think it is weak or not, but i know the internet states ariados is)||
I don't think ||ariados is that weak. It's not as bad as Kricketune.||
or ledian for that matter
BY THE WAY ON BETTER NEWS
||you can make markers on where you want to go AND you can fly to places you've been at (as long as they are wild zones, special areas like parks, shops(?), restaurants and pokecenters from what i have figured out||
Idk, Kricketune and Ledian are very low bars
||you DO need to walk into these areas, not scamp them. GO INSIDE THE POKEMON CENTERS!!!||
fair
but i mean
i think ariados is better than Base Form Beedrill imo
Certainly
i think i can just talk about ariados it was literally in the release trailer lmao
However, Base Form Beedrill is also irredeemable garbage
apparently not because the mega exists
Yeah uhh a lot of the early bugs do NOT scale well into late game
Mega is the only thing Beedrill has going for it
And yknow what, to be fair, it isn't a terrible Mega
And certainly is either the 1st or 2nd most improved Pokemon with it
and even then ||beedrill mega has been USURPED by another bug/poison lmao scolipede||
... Actually?
Forget 2nd
Or 1st
Probably like
4th or 5th
Because Megas like Mawile and Sableye exist
The main other Mega I was thinking of when saying 1st or 2nd was Lopunny
||champions scolipede is gonna be a mess to play against if its stats are even ANY good because base scoli has Speed Boost. and we KNOW how speed boost on a pre-mega goes because Sharpedo||
...
you forgot somebody
And tbh with the moves that Lopunny has supposedly gained in ZA
... Well, actually, it'd have that in base
Problem: Kangaskhan is FAR better than Lopunny or Beedrill
I mean it's still bad dont get me wrong
But Lopunny is worse
kangaskhan by FAR is one of the most absolutely busted mons from mega
And Beedrill, Mawile and Sableye are utter garbage
So I think the difference between those mfs and their Megas is slightly more than Kanga and its Mega
it's got prankster and a fine support movepool VGC wise
Idk I'm talking from a Singles perspective
the problem with sableye IS the fact that a support movepool doesn't help as much in singles
So I'm not too concerned
It does help a shitton as Mega Sableye
but doubles sableye is fine
Problem with Sableye is just that it has barely any stats
It probably dies in minimum 2 attacks
mawile and sableye were royally fucked over by 2 things
Unless you stall your demise with Recover to accomplish literally nothing
- their appearance in gen 3 being that early causing their stats to be low
- IRONICALLY, the megas
Mawile has a good type, Intimidate and literally nothing else
If Sableye getting Parting Shot in ZA carries over to Gen 10, I could see it being a real pain with Prankster, Mega Evolution or otherwise
when their megas are gone they are STUCK with their stats, and they can't evolve because Mega Evolutions are for Pokémon that don't evolve.
Do you think base Beedrill is better or worse than Mawile
worse
Cosmog is at least intentionally worthless
rate my anoriths 
im about to hop off if you have any questions on ZA ||up to looker bureau|| tell me them now ⛈️
If the DLC leak about ||Glimmora|| getting a Mega is true, imagine how fun it could be to combo ||Base Glimmora's Toxic Debris with it maybe getting Merciless as a Mega||
i can't say anything abt those but
||apparently heatran darkrai and zeraora's mega stones were datamined in 1.0.1||
|| is there any ways to boost shiny odds (besides the shiny charm) and does this game have any outbreaks?||
||I have so far not found any outbreaks, i don't know if there's a way to boost shiny odds ATM since i'm still very early into the main story (literally at looker bureau). :(((||
||ten bucks says that Mega Zeraora and Darkrai will be GameStop distributions that scalpers will deplete the stock of to sell for $30||
||I don't particularly think that considering zeraora's supposed to appear in the anime at one point|| < ANIME SPOILER AND DLC SPOILER
||I'm gonna be real I'm just gonna PKHex any mega stone that is paid||
||Nintendo will probably brick your console for that nowadays||
||nah, the game does that automatically||
||Didn't Zeraora appear in Sun and Moon in the Wormhole Alternate Universe from Ash's world?||
they'll probably also find a way to throw you into jail too
||Not related to ZA, but apparently Gamefreak has decided to Mascotify Pikachu even further for Gen 10||
||Comparing Pikachu from Gen 1 to this design has the same vibe as seeing those pictures of what Pugs used to look like||
Bro went on a weight loss journey or something idfk
||New Pikachu looks like he has seen everything and nothing surprises him now||
||retail worker Pikachu||
Hey wait a minute-
Ew
im not clicking on any spoilers but that comment makes me think this is about an image i seen...which has nothing to do with ZA. i dunno if its interesting to go around spoiling things even further into the pokemon future especially when people probably click spoilers expecting it to just be ZA related
this isnt to Lat lul, just thats the message i seen that makes me think these spoilered images are about a yellow rat
Mickey mouse clubhouse knockoff lookin creature
the year is 2029, ||every pokemon has been redesigned to appeal better to toddlers||
Got mega victreebell out here ||lookin like it shows up in a single episode of Bluey to teach kids about fruit juice|| so why not ||pikachu too||
Ts so buns 😭😭
Volcanion is Gen 6 right?
Yes
This ||mega starmie|| running animation is frying me 😭 😭 😭
why it run like dat doe
Day1 DLC that could've been base content
Kalos starters being temporarily available and stuck behind competitive which is behind a paywall
buildings being PNG's on rectangles instead of actual details
The city being the entirety of the world of that game which from what I've heard from people who got to play test being smaller than ONE of the areas in pla
Most of the megas having rainbow in the designs for no reason. not a deal-breaker but weird in general
It's not every reason but it's the ones I could think of off the top of my head
ok
To get the full experience of ZA U need to drop like $120+ depending on how long they decide to drag out each season for the Kalos mega rewards
dollars?
craazy
For a game that's like 1/5 the size of pla
Pv?
violet
Ah
Yeah I've been playing since diamond but I'm honestly think of swapping cause I ain't getting the switch 2 since I can't even legally own it and it's got a worse battery than the switch 2-3.5hrs from what ppl have said and ZA is gonna be the last game on the switch
It's gonna be fangames romhacks and maybe Digimon for me
alr
And if I ever wanna try the new stuff there's always showdown for that
All those megas are gonna be on showdown within like a month
so you think i should buy the ZA or nah?
I wouldn't
If Ur really eager to then wait for all the reviews to flood in and see people critique it first
alr
U don't wanna dump 100 on the game only to find out it's gonna be riddled with bugs for 3months
Ya know
yea
Cause sv came out a buggy mess and it stayed like that for ages
Hell there's still bugs in that game they never bothered to remove and they're about to ditch the game for the new one
do yuo think ZA is gonna be betetr than sv?
Honestly that's a low bar imo
mhm
If we're talking better than ZA then fuck no they won't
From what we've seen already they ain't gonna make it better unless they pull a hard 180 and delay the game which they'll never do because there's a big enough chunk of the fans who'll buy it in whatever state it's in and praise them for it
yeah
Theres like 10 things they could do for qol that they'll never bother doing cause enough people will buy whatever they slop Infront of them
One being evolution method changes one huge example is gen 5 we all know it had a high level curve which made Pokemon evolve like 10-15 levels later then similar Pokemon
right
But not even just unova mons there's plenty that could use a fix
fr
Whether it's bst boosts (which they've done before raichu being a example) movepool buffs, evolution changes, better abilities ya name it there's a handful of pokemon who need it
Like all the stone evolution Pokemon clearly want ya to evolve them at a certain level but will let you get the stone and Pokemon 15 levels before that point and punish you with shitty moves if U evolve it before that magic invisible number
fr like you gte a growlithe and instantly people evolve it to arcanine even if its at lvl 5
Or like flareon if U get a Eevee and fire stone before level 30 and use it Ur stuck with either ember or nothing in some games until the 30s
It's not the best example but it's what came to mind
YES but they never will
Like Digimon chose the perfect moment to announce their game with the crap Nintendo is pulling
i enever understood digimon
Cause they spent the time making a quality game and released it when everyones mad at Nintendo for shitting on our desire to catch monsters
I don't really know much either but I've heard everyone saying how much fun it is and some designs are amazing even tho some evolution lines don't make alot of sense visually
yea the evolution lines are confusing
I think all their stuff is split Evo's and longer Evo lines with some being like Pokemon and more physical evolutions and some more based on the concept of the mon
Hi xillo

Someone in another server I'm in is playing a digimon game and they sent a screenshot that was so funny, none of the creatures look like they belong in the same franchise
From what I've heard the starters are 3 different types based on 3 sets the little ball with wings is based on angels the bat is devils and the white one is like artic animals and Vikings
what is this 😭
It's sick
cool sick dragon a cute white smth and a derpy sunflower
how are they in the same game 😭
I mean you could say the exact same with sunflora and eternatis
ig
Or druddigon if U wanna argue that the Digimon dragon isn't a legend so it's a unfair comparison
yeah that’s Druddigon not Eternatus
ZA is start
What?
im back ||in lumiose||
obtained a ||trubbish||
caught ||panpour||
caught some ||swablu||
evolving my team rn

my team rn
btw
||If you get fletchinder, GIVE IT WING ATTACK AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. ITS STRAIGHT UP BETTER PECK||
||Same for Bubblebeam over water gun||
BY THE WAY
||You'll be able to recollect your pokeballs if you miss throws|| MECHANIC SPOILER
||the evo stones can be obtained at the stone emporium right under vernal pokemon center|| SPOILER
STORY SPOILER ||There's a sableye holding a ring at the graveyard. you can catch this one. The ring is for a quest you need to accept prior to entering the graveyard.||
||there is a dusk stone in THIS corner of the magenta district||
complimenting above
How do you have access to the game
~~secret ~~
My great granduncle works at nintendo of course
His name is Bowser Mario Luigino Peachette Pikachino
His favorite pokemon is Floatzel so I haven't seen him in years
That’s a cool name

You're a Pokémon Legend, Z, A!
I am?
sunkern, sneasel and salamance bro trust me
To get to ||ariados||:
||Wild zone 5, go upstairs to the bellsprout and then back down to the water where the Venipede are||
follow ||the water||
Remove ||this sludge with a water move||
Exit ||wild zone 5 out of the sewer pipe||
when you see ||the numel guy, go left.||
and voila, ||ariados at level 24-25||
on map:
in this ||gate, there's a guy that gives you electroweb||
||mint seller|| COMPETITIVE SPOILER
Spoopy
you can ||register fly spots by walking by cafes and into pokemon centers. some landmarks such as the looker bureau, prism tower, the parks etc and wild zones also unlock fly spots.||
OKAY I THINK I FIGURED IT OUT
i think these ||red buildings on the map are fly spots like cafes. prism tower and that cafe i just unlocked are fly spots||
||Quasartico and the rust syndicate building don't seem to register fly spots when you walk by them.||
i'm not rushing through the game so i notice these small details a bit more
||facebook spoiled mega starmie. Idk how i feel about it's design.
Especially as it can float without mega evolving, so seeing it walk is weird...||
imo worst mega of the bunch 😭
||STARMIE||'S GOOGLE SEARCH GOT INFECTED LMAO
||I still feel skarmory is the worst in how ugly it is and how it just takes the base design but makes it horrendous but starmie doesn't even really change the design they literally did just make legs long and leave it at that, which at that point can you even say you mega evolved the pokemon lolololol||
||No one can escape the cursed starfish||
I'm gonna try to get to rank up later since I'm ridiculously overleveled atm
OH YEAH
||wild pokemon will listen to you better the higher your za royale rank is. Z is 20, Y is 25 iirc||
So for example ||ariados listens to me at rank Y, but it wouldnt have listened at Z since i caught it at level 25||
||ariados expects you to be worthy for it to listen to you||
Absolutely cant wait for the game to come out. How are people who got it "early" rating it?
My local store has a 20% sale on games until next weeks sunday and o can get ZA for only 48€ 
Im definitely getting it on Thursday
pretty good!
is it fun 
Apparently ||Mega Scrafty|| is an Aura Farmer
I just saw the Mega stats, and wow, someone really hated ||Victreebel. It's on the Hoenn grindset, with amazing mixed offenses with mediocre speed and bulk.||
just what i wanted to hear 
pog 5 euro off
I mean that's base ||victreebel|| too
||I have seen a screenshot of the musuem in Z-A and would not be surprised if this mf pop out of nowhere towards the end of the game or somewhere in the dlc||
|| you won in both PIF and in main series Pokémon
||
||"it spits a liquid that causes the regenerative power of cells to run wild." Are... Are they saying that Mega Dragalge can cause the Big C?||
||i thought of it more along the lines of regeneration ability. If it is, that mega can kill wolverine||
it says right after || the liquid is deadly poison ||
Favorite megas of the official reveals?
5
13
7
Delphox
so either || the liquid is beneficial for dragalge and deadly for everything else || or || it causes big C ||
||You can obtain heracross early from Emma quest 2, where you trade pikachu for it.|| STORY SPOILER AND TRADE SPOILER
||THE FUCKASS CELL AGAIN||
oh shit ||the lumiose friends battle theme is neat||
How crazy is it that ||the Fusion Day event saw two Pokemon get voted into PIF that would end up getting Megas in ZA?||
plot twist: we already knew/j
damn accidently clicked on this not looking at the channel but atleast its not actually a spoiler
lmao
The side quest ||To get chespin is at the school, the moment you reach Rank X, i think|| STORY SPOILER+SIDEQUEST SPOILER
||you need to battle chespin three times after each other and defeat it to be able to get it|| SIDEQUEST SPOILER
the current squad!
||You need to beat a obstacle course within 30 seconds to get froakie|| SIDEQUEST SPOILER
||Froakie: Quest at the scaffolding on the boulevard at Jaune Sector 8. Beat the obstacle course in 30 seconds ||
(NOTE: quests only doable after ||getting rank X||)
nvm theres MORE
||potentially far more horrifying than intended flavor text aside, this could also mean that Mega Dragalge gets Regenerator whenever it gets into a game with abilities. It's already a solid special wall, so it could be one of the better defensive Megas if true||
||I JUST SAW SOME LEAKED MEGAS AND||
||IM FROTHING AT THE MOUTH IN THE BEST WAY POSSIBLE. CHANDELURE AND SCOLIPEDE MY BELOVED.||
Yeah I just saw, I live under a rock 😅
||I ADORE that they’re going for more goofy designs with a lot of Pokémon, instead of just making them all look “hehe what if bigger with more swords and different color” yk?||
I do wonder what my fav new megas shiny looks like
Same, ||chandelure my beloved.||
||I hate mega Drampa, but I like drampa kill me pls||
||fair, but I feel they did scarmory a bit dirty..||
||A pokemon that shouldve been more goofy||
||I can’t help but giggle at starmie tho||
||Fuck skarmory tho||
||why?? It’s a metal vulture!||
||tho I can see how ppl can kinda not like it bc of its design..||
Like 30 x better than the official one
Thx!
||i wanted a goober grampa not a angry grampa for drampa..||
||SAMEEEEEE||
||yours is very much the cooler version.||
||ok but falinx turning into a zoid makes me giggle a bit||
||I like falinks too||
||still no mega flygon tho
||
||Dlc also got leaked IIRC||
Ooh
Dk how real it is but here it is
||Dont diss my boy crabominable||
||I am glad that chimecho is getting some love though||
||Tbh tho more ghost type megas lets go||
||ahh fair, I feel they could have designed him a bit better though,||
||YESS GHOST TYPES FOR THE WWWW||
||I also kinda forgot Magearna existed-||
||WE have 3 ghost type megas rn||
||ahh||
Well it was lovely talking to ya but I am gonna go to bed, goodbye lovely person
||you too! Ty for chatting with me!||
Np!
nahhh adaptability is way cooler let me just mash people with draco meteor :(
No
Bad vince, youre getting truant
||Could you check for shiny mega Drampa leaks pls?||
sponsored by L'oreal
Who’s gonna be the first Pokémon that you guys are gonna be shiny hunting for?
|| maybe vanillite or something else||
Depends what’s shiny locked
shudders in miltank
😭 oh naw bro they can’t get away with this

how's the new battle system?
I'd imagine it would be in real time
You playing it legit right?
legit shmegit. that's all
im playing it 
Damn, I share my pass to yall and yall dont even support the game I work on
Yo if Crabominable got a mega I'll buy a switch 2 and the game and dlc
who cares about my rent this month
ngl, a few days ago i was telling myself theres no point buying a switch 2, an hour ago i came this close to impulse buying one with ZA in a bundle
😭 STOP DONT GIVE INNN
He is like a top 15 guy for me
Me if bidoof ever got a regional variant
yeah i could care less about the switch 2 and ZA, but if Purugly got a mega i'd cave
at this point I'm not grabbing a switch 2 UNTIL the new Fire Emblem comes out
im having a blast rn
playable when theire made for switch 1
when they get made for switch 2 specifically though... 
Bruh
the new one kinda flopped with their stupid online play choices
I love buying overpriced games on bad consoles
But mostly just having a functional online mode is better than what we have rn
To perpetuate the pricier games and worse consoles
I mean game prices wont stop rising, might aswell get it on a better console
With that attitude they sure will
if only there was one platform that could play most of them 
Luckily pc's arent overpriced
nah never
I love paying $400 for a graphics card that will be outdated in half a year
Good thing you love it
sleepy time for me, damn near played all evening
Good night Gastly
so how did people here get the game early
Cause it auto released on the 15th so as soon as it hits 12:00 wed 15th of Oct you could buy it digitally
Like I could've gotten it almost 11hrs ago
It's Shogun Ceanataur from Monster Hunter where his water attack is his piss
Wait so if you buy it digitally you can just play it rn 😭
still have to wait digitally
Yes like 4 people including one of the mods have already posted stuff about it
I'm not getting it for a bunch of reasons but im not the type of guy to shit on those who do
@spare roost you're aware ZA is on switch 1 too right 🙏
Are ZA roms already available on the internet ?
w
Has the next batch of megas been revealed?
Like mega meganium mega emboar and mega feraligatr?
Every mega that's in the game currently was properly leaked about 3 days ago
trainers ||begin to use mega evolutions at rank G||
@little nacelle @little nacelle @little nacelle @little nacelle
sup
doesnt it for like
everyone...
its the 15th.
team
No it releases on the 16 for me
yeah, so it'll release tomorrow for everyone
||Fletchinder's pretty damn good!||
Looks so good I can almost taste the game
funny
(this doesn't particularly spoil anything)
You spoiled that we're playing in Lumiose city, how could you?!?!?! 
my bad
god i am GLAD i took this screenshot because ||prism tower's partially built around with a wall now wtf||
You know that the game is also on switch 1 @daring finch
Ok
But I dont want a pokemon Violet experience so better be safe than sorry
I understand
If anyone has the final forms of the starter, please let me know personally. For me the look matter more than the typing, so I'm comfortable with the appearance of the final form!!!
Option 4: Boxing my starter cause I don't particularly like any of their Megas
I re-checked their stats and the ZA Starter Megas ||have the Alola problem where they're all slow. Mega Meganium is the fastest one with 80 Speed.||
||with all of those floral neck pillows, mega meganium is using that 80 speed to rush back asleep.||
Is froakie available in game???
Of course froakie is in the game : it is his native region
Idk if speed is gonna matter as much in this game
We need that censored
-# jk
Time to ruin ||Mega Eelektross|| for everyone
According to it's Pokedex entry, ||the fake Eelektriks it has on either side of its body are made entirely out of mucous||
Huh???
||Not necessarily surprised by it having mucous a lot of aquatic creatures have a mucous or slime coating for different reasons but how did it sculpt whole eelektriks out of it||
||Although there's a lot of weird abilities and things going on in pokemon, maybe I shouldn't be surprised dnjdnsjsksis||
The crazy part is that's not even really the most out of pocket Pokedex entry out of the Megas. That would go to ||Mega Dragalge.||
Who ? Why ?
the dex entry makes me think of magellan from one piece tho, maybe it'll be cool
||Mega Dragalge spits a liquid that "makes the regenerative power of cells go wild." It basically gives the Big C||
OK, the game's devs are crazy
||as my characters (the versions of me) have regeneration as an ability, we are not getting near mega dragalge...||
||Mega Dragalge nooooo
||
Theory time + end game spoilers ;) ||At the end of the game after the final boss and after the "secret" true final boss with Zyguarde, "L" / Lysandre mentions Z-Moves and the Alola Region, which may allude to the next region (Gen 10) being like Alola or the next Legends game may not acutally be Galar and may be Alola related.||
late but ||mega eelektross's dex entry just reminds me of Hagfish for some reason like in terms of using mucus/slime as a defense mechanism (though exaggerated in MTross's case), makes me wonder if the ability's gonna play off that or if it's gonna keep levitate when it goes to Champions or the next game||
hopefully it keeps its previous ability
yea it does make it unique so I can see it
i think it would be fun, with base you get a no weakness mon, and when it gets low you mega to gain regenerator and swap out to be healither and with boosted stats
Small spoiler question: || is it true that you can get the shiny charm without it being tied to dex completion?||
Goated 
got shiny very first early look at himmmmmmmm🥹
(not rly spoiler btw but shows 1 street fully)
||Mega Drampa|| is my favorite out of all of them.
How are yall playing the game doesn’t it realease tommorow?
A street? In a game?
Gasp!
-# jokes aside, congrats on the little one
Since when does bunnelby have a white shiny
HI ||SIGILYPH WHO IS NOT EVEN IN THE GAME||
im about slightly more than halfway through the story
OH SHIT ||THE STARTER MEGA STONE||
||CHONK||
||Everything has been leaked so it can be played illegally if I am not mistaken, but yes it releases tomorrow and I am getting it alongside a switch 2||
Ohh that make sense
a mimir
that, or you're in one of the timezones where the game has released
You are not tho

we hebben nog maar 2 uur te gaan he
Je hebt de game al dus wat maakt jou het uit
(voor de digitale dan)
ik heb geeneens een switch ik zit vast op de DS
Anyways time to dodge this channel like the pest until I have done a playtrough
Getting my switch 2 and ZA tomorrow
IM GONNA SPOIL THE BIGGEST PLOT POINT OF THE GAME... NOW!
THE GAME IS SET IN LUMIOSE CITY!!!
:DD
NOOOOO
I actually didnt know that
Weird they dont give you totodile
I am joking
I have seen all the megas aswell even the leaked ones
I had to know what my boy looked like
not a particular spoiler since these are just pokemon, this is my team rn
Yt is spoiling the shiny mega pokemon to me.
A youtuber is taking the opportunity to casually post a video before release and yt thinks I should know.
(Don't even watch this person)
Wait ariados is in this game?
they have EMBOAR in this game??
YES
I heard not even all megas are in
||The hoenn starters and Rayquaza aren't.||
