I actually like these types, I don't think they're too wild as far as predictions go though. Most people guessed a very similar set of combinations (I was assuming that exact three, to be honest). 🙂

[patent rivet]

Everyone thought of a ghost pepper for the fire type

Also I just realized Quaxly isn’t flying type, which is kinda weird

[fickle birch]

Not really, every single bird starter hasn't been a Flying-type in its final form; Blaziken, Empoleon, Decidueye (twice) and potentially Quaxly now too. 🙂

Come to think of it, if it is Water/Fighting, we'll have a trio of Fighting-type starter birds, one of each type. 😄

[flint sequoia]

But Rowlet was Grass/Flying as its first stage

[flint sequoia]

^

[white jungle]

If Quaxly has a bad ability

I think I'll simply die

All of the gen 8 starter hidden abilities were viable, even if Cinderace overshadowed the others

So I hope we keep that trend up

preferably, make their good hidden abilities their main abilities but nah we can't have good things

Make ability pills like grit rocks or something I don't know

I'm so sick of hidden abilities

I think PLA is funny because EVs almost certainly won't be made as easy going forward

Which means that the entire Sinnoh Dex and a bunch of others just became the easiest Pokémon to EV train

Including God

[patent rivet]

I never mentioned evolutions, I said Quaxly

And of the bird starters, Rowlett was grass/flying and the others were flightless birds

[white jungle]

Quaxly can't fly because it's weighed down by all that drip

[patent rivet]

https://tenor.com/view/hololive-oozora-subaru-gif-20816817

[modest jasper]

give all the starters super luck

easy way out

[fickle birch]

Oh I thought you were talking about the evolutions. Yeah, that is weird, come to think of it. Hopefully not a sign that we're in for another monotype trio like Gen VIII (still think we were robbed of a Grass/Rock and Fire/Electric with minor design tweaks, and a Water/Ghost trio). 😦

[patent rivet]

I didn’t play those games so I didn’t even know they were all monotype, I thought only gen 2 did that

[south trellis]

rillaboom is insanely threatening with grassy glide + surge, not sure if it exactly got overshadowed

[flint sequoia]

Still not as good as protean 2

[modest jasper]

and glide was a dlc move, before the dlcs it was pretty shit

[south trellis]

inteleon’s is fun but hard to use

[knotty path]

Inteleon as virtually nothing special about it and gets outclassed by a lot of other water types

"oh it can crit!" Critdra has existed for years now

[flint sequoia]

Its a lot better with specs due to its low bulk, but its coverage is only decent and it can't really touch other water types well

[patent rivet]

But why would you want to use such an ugly Pokémon anyways

[flint sequoia]

Because it is still the best design out of the gen8 starters

[cobalt python]

lowkey I boxed my starter during my sw/sh playthrough lol

[modest jasper]

based decision

[flint sequoia]

I picked Inteleon but thought it was pretty meh, but the design has grown on me over time. I think lanky spy gun chameleon is funny

[little whale]

I picked Grookey because Monke

[meager oasis]

Rillaboom is my favourite starter of all starters

[late tendon]

Mine too

Cuz monke has an excuse to be humanoid

[icy forge]

Inteleon is my favorite but is too skinny

If just was like this:

[flint sequoia]

Dinosaur chameleon

[icy forge]

Yes

[patent rivet]

That’s better already

[white jungle]

I mean I liked the sniper motif

There's just so many better ways they could have done it

Some chameleons even have horns! You're telling me they couldn't work out some sort of gun horn? Or some sort of crosshair?

They abandoned the chameleon inspo for the spy inspo instead of fusing them

[fickle birch]

Yes, exactly this would have been better. The design Shiro posted, but it lies down low on top of structures and snipes that way. 🙂

[winged tiger]

Quite interesting that theres channels for gen 9 is here yet we only have info on the starters and Pokémon and characters and locations seen in the trailers so far

[patent rivet]

It’s so the channel is ready for when they release more info so people don’t go spoiling stuff in other channels

[lament glen]

And for me to be grumpy and hate the new pokemon games

[fickle birch]

And also, speculation about the starters or how they'll utilise Spain, or speculating about leaks and whatnot. 😄

[opal gull]

if they wanted to keep the theme

[flint sequoia]

thats a lot better

wait why is it flying

[elfin wharf]

Since it is a secret agent, it needs a swift silent get away

[meager oasis]

it can glide too

thats not flying but hawlucha is part flying type so

it counts i guess

[flint sequoia]

thematically, dark makes a lot more sense, or even ghost

[tall meadow]

Oh no, evil agents!

[patent rivet]

I like how the main thing in these redesigns is making it thicker than a twig

Surely not legit but is funny

And very similar to Mario Mountain

ye lmao

[forest egret]

Do you think people would be mad if Diglett got a 2nd regional

[modest jasper]

depends
does it have arena trap or is it useless

[forest egret]

I was more thinking like
"Eugh he already has one and this is just more BLATANT gen 1 favouritism!"

[modest jasper]

you grow numb to it after a while

[forest egret]

I genuinely hope meowth gets a regional in every new gen

[wanton idol]

LMFAO

I WANT IT TO BE REAL

I meant the diglett

[opal gull]

meanwhile gma have built in clouds

I much prefer this over fake corocoro

they have to put in more effort for the art to make it plausible

which

also, notice how none of these leaks cover sprigatito

https://www.reddit.com/r/PokeLeaks/comments/udh1he/the_evolution_of_sprigatito_leaked_image_from/

as it's so fucking controversial that it stays on it's forelegs that the internet would explode no-

oh

I did mean like

in an attempt to be convincing

[opal gull]

should've been more specific

[clear crest]

true haha

but yea like

nobody has actually done sprigatito yet for a serious leak

because everyone knows that that will make everyone believe it's fake, no matter what they do.

[opal gull]

it's name comes from field+garden

Or Garra and Field

[icy forge]

The pics of Sprigatito I put before reminds me when everybody expect that Litten evolve in to a fire Smilodon

[fickle birch]

Weird proportions were the biggest problem with my a number of Gen VIII designs; Inteleon and Enamorus are literally stick thin, I hope that's not a trend that continues. 😦

[final crater]

enamorus shouldve been buff

[fickle birch]

I agree, I'd say even more buff than the other three. It'd be funnier. 😄

[final crater]

well yeah

but its kinda bizarre seeing the three buff men

and then just like

the most

caricatured woman

like i get that the other genies are kinda caricatures too but its a bit diffferent

[fickle birch]

I know I'm a man so I don't really get a say, but I found Enamorus to be pretty sexist. 😅

[final crater]

nah as a woman adjacent i found it pretty sexist too

[fickle birch]

Unrelated, but with the starter evolution squares, for Fuecoco I really like D, I, J (though it looks like a Grass-type), K, O, Y and Z. For Sprigatito I liked A, B, H, M, O and S. 🙂

[final crater]

honestly i feel like the dedication of everyones fan evos to CAT MUST BE QUADRUPED THIS TIME is doing a bit more harm than good

i mean i guess none of the quadrupedal ones ive seen have really stood out to me

literally just cat with things on

[modest jasper]

you think gf will listen? lol

[final crater]

granted

but its just boring to look at

and see people going GAMEFREAK SHOULD HIRE THIS GUY

when its kjust

cat with flower butt

not even an interesting cat with flower butt

[icy forge]

Is funny when we have Meowth, Perserkerr, Meowstic and Incineroar

[final crater]

yeah

like the posture of the thing is nowhere near as important as its impact

the things that set it apart

[modest jasper]

inci 🤢

[final crater]

the things that... you know, properly follow pokemons own method of making starters

[they purposefully avoid GUYS ANIMALS WITH PLANT ON]

[icy forge]

I like Enamorus, mostly his Genbu Form

[final crater]

her

the turtle forms fine honestly s the thing

i just hate the incarnate form

[icy forge]

Always have problem with His/Him/Her 😅

[opal gull]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=keC1vnq3jyM

[lapis linden]

Stupid bot

[stray terrace]

i mean

leaks for the last 3 games were all posted on 4chan first

that ones almost def fake tho

[flint sequoia]

Better than incineroar

[little whale]

Lol

[clear crest]

I gotta admit

I too am in the field of "keep it quadrupedal" but only because of some reasons

[late tendon]

I'm in the field of "I'd love to see it quadrupedal but it'll probably be another furry"

[white jungle]

I'm in the field of "I don't give a shit about it being quadrupedal, just don't make it a sabertooth"

Iberian Lynx is right there and represents Spain

I know there's an extinct theme going on, but Iberian Lynx is critically endangered anyway

And frankly the starter themes are often inaccurate and just serve to make speculation and new ideas more boring

Porcupine equates to rat, seal equates to club

I haven't seen a Sabertooth based Sprigatito evolution that doesn't look boring. As it was said, they're just cats with flowers on them

But I think the Iberian Lynx does good on the Spanish theme, is a more unique Pokémon design and also fits Sprigatito's design with the little face tufts

If they were gonna hammer home on all the grass types being extinct, I don't want a cat with long teeth. I'd rather have cool extinct animals, like a Stegosaurus, or a giant ground sloth

Hell, even a wooly rhino

All of which actually relate to plants already and could have great designs with a grass-type appearance

They could do good stuff with this

And I'm not saying this in a "it won't be a sabertooth, don't be stupid, I'M right" way, because my FEAR is that I'm wrong and they will go for a sabertooth tiger

But everyone is expecting them to either make it pretty and bipedal, or make it a super bulky quadraped

I'm perfectly fine with something smaller and less menacing, like a Lynx

Because "tiny cute thing → big intimidating thing" has kind of been overdone

(this was in an image higher up)

It's not perfect by any means, but I prefer this to all the Very Large Cat With Leaves On It options

[flint sequoia]

Every single fan design has been a lynx

[patent rivet]

They all look pretty boring, just a green furry big cat with something random sticking out of it

[flint sequoia]

The flower ones look good, the problem is that every fab design is extremely similar

[late tendon]

why not combining both? that's what Pokemon usually do, combine stuff

[white jungle]

Maybe, but as I said I haven't liked any of the Sabertooth designs that people have put forward

[late tendon]

I'd like to see it being a sabertooth because all grass starters are based on the extinct creatures that aren't fossilized, and sabertooth is such a nice possibility for that. if they find anything cooler than that, I won't mind at all, but combining any extinct cat with lynx or lion (or both? but Luxray already does that) would be amazing to see

I'm still waiting for a grass dodo starter

[late tendon]

I believe they didn't think about going the chineese zodiac way back in gen 2 and just decided that Cyndaquil is enough to be counted as a rat, and they never went with "all water starters are weapons" thing, idk who even guessed and distributed this idea. Water starters are always simply aquatic creatures

they just probably will make a dolphin or idk an eel or a sea snake starter someday and not a water dog or a water molecule

[icy forge]

Sadly is more difficult do a recognizable Lynx that a recognizable Lion or tiger or cheetah

[late tendon]

I think it's head and ears shape is pretty recognizable

maybe they can utilize lynx's huge paws too

idk about Ibearian lynxes specifically but where I live they have huge paws that work as snowshoes

so I just automatically think that all lynxes do a similar thing and I'm probably totally wrong

[icy forge]

All Lynx are very similar I guess but if I remember correctly Iberian Lynx are a bit smaller

And just eat rabbits 😅

[fickle birch]

Gorillas are extinct? 😮

[late tendon]

Rillaboom's based os some exting species that is somehow reated to England I believe

I might be wrong and it can be literally any big extinct monke

but I believe I heard something about it

Bulbapedia just mentions a possible relation to Gigantopithecus

[fickle birch]

I think that's them grasping at straws to keep the ancient thing going. I think Decidueye is pushing it, and doesn't seem to be related to anything ancient. 😛

[late tendon]

Decidueye is clearly related to the extinct hawaiian long legged owl tho

especially how it's a regular owl in it's 1st and 2nd form and then suddenly long-legged and ghost-typed in it's 3rd form

ifunny moment btw

[lapis linden]

Yeah lol

[solar tiger]

this is a monkey which kinda looks like an orangutan if you have some imagination, and did indeed go extinct thousands of years ago it's also what they based king louie on in the live action Jungle Book movie, as orangutans aren't native to india

[late tendon]

huh I never knew that about king Louie

[fickle birch]

Ah, I just missed that part somehow. 😂

Although the Ghost-type is suspected to be because its reminiscent of the pueo owl, which is a common manifestation of Hawaiian ancestral spirits. Otherwise all the others would be Ghost-types for the same reason. 😅

[late tendon]

I just always guess that Pokemon have 1000 hidden inspirations after watching Lockstin vids

I never knew how cool Sneasler's inspirations are before watching one

now I feel even better for liking it

[opal gull]

can they not mix that an a sabertooth or make the fur bits teethlilke?

[white jungle]

I just think a bulky Sabertooth is a bad idea with the designs I've seen, and especially as Incineroar is already a tiger. I'm aware that we're getting a repeated animal with Fuecoco, but we don't actually know where that line is going yet, and it already looks a lot different to Totodile

Plus it could be argued that Feraligatr is just that, an alligator

Fuecoco might stay crocodilian

I do think Smilodon is an animal name that would be easy to pokemon-ise though, to be fair

[icy forge]

I think that Sprigatito would be more similar to Liepard that to Incineorar. I mean, in the same way that Rillaboom and Infernape are very different

[late tendon]

Who knows tho

People thought they won't make a third firefighting in a row

[icy forge]

Even if Incineroar and Cinderace are not Fire/Fighting they still are Fire/Fighting 😅

[strong trail]

fire fighting finalstage fuecoco let's goooo

[opal gull]

wouldnt need to be bulky to be a sabertooth

[meager oasis]

mmm more green cats

[late tendon]

more leaks from Riddler https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b_Ao6I2TkA8

[signal dagger]

I wanna click that video but I also wanna stay unspoiled

the duality of man

On one hand the starter I choose is gonna be based on what it evolves into, on the other hand I don't want to find out what said evolutions are

[flint sequoia]

I want to find out what the new pokemon are so I can plan a team, but not much else

[little whale]

Same

[late tendon]

To be short, the riddle's related to ||Tauros, Miltank and Bouffalant|| and no one knows what exactly it means yet. Perhaps ||a pre-evo or new forms|| or something

[white jungle]

Wild card, the new gimmick is fusion

[late tendon]

IF is real

[white jungle]

Then this game gets nuked by Nintendo

[late tendon]

[white jungle]

I do hope the new gimmick has new forms or something though...

Sick of like

"one-time funneee move!!"

Or "it big now!!"

Bring me back to what I like

I'm a simple man

Could be a time travel mechanic

Seems weird given that we JUST got an isekai game

But if that's like

What Pokémon is doing going forward with all the wormhole stuff

Then it would check out

[flint sequoia]

Ultra Wormholes? 🤔

[white jungle]

There are bound to be revisits/remakes of BW at some point because we're progressing towards that point in the remake timeline (I believe Soul Silver and Heart Gold comes next in the order)

But I do wonder if Ingo is gonna be like

The Easter egg leading up to it

Or if he's just kinda on his own spiritual journey

He feels too niche for Nintendo to have just chosen him at random

But does that also make him too niche a person for them to choose to lead into the gen 5 revisit?

Or did they just decide to take a chance and it worked out well?

Because by God, don't get me wrong it works

Even as a lover of gen 5 I barely knew about Ingo's existence before

But now he's lost in time, his brothers probably worried sick, his Pokémon may well be abandoned

He's balding

I'm INVESTED in this man

Goes to show how well it works out when Gamefreak decides to do something unexpected

[signal dagger]

I'm so excited for ||Bouffalant||, it hasn't got NEARLY enough recognition as a p cool mon for a ||normal|| type

In fact it used to be one of my favorites

Also , possibly a common prevo for all three which could be a really cool precedent

[late tendon]

Yea it's a neat but forgettable mon, I'd love to see it being used more

[signal dagger]

Exactly. It's not the type to get a mega or regional but it could at least be given a prevo or story significance

[late tendon]

Also, you can always tell that I'm hyped to see any ||Miltank|| related action

[signal dagger]

I'm not as polarized as ||MandJTV|| about ||Miltank|| but it was never really one of my favorites personally

[white jungle]

I wouldn't get your hopes up
It's a Spanish region, they're ||cattle||
The news might be that you get to brutally kill them

[late tendon]

I just find it really cute and all this ||udders|| hating stuff is funny

It may be anything, yea

Probably not that since it's a kids game after all

[signal dagger]

But whenever ||cow mons|| get mentioned usually it's only ||Tauros|| and ||Miltank|| that get mentioned so any ||Bouffalant|| recognition as the other ||cow mon|| is p cool

[white jungle]

I don't think the disturbing thing about ||Miltank|| is the ||udders|| I think it's that it's vaguely humanoid WITH ||udders||

That being said, I stand firm with what I've said in the past about liking all the weird humanoid Mons that a lot of people hate

They raise questions, they disturb people, and I love them for that

[late tendon]

I can't imagine a ||cow|| without ||udders|| in any format unless it's a smol child ||cow||

[signal dagger]

like whenever people make a common prevo they usually only use the first 2 for some reason, despite there being a much better chance that ||Bouffalant|| and ||Tauros|| are related than ||Tauros|| and ||Miltank||

[late tendon]

It's kinda it's main feature after all

I just don't see anything wrong with it lmao

[forest egret]

||Miltank|| is ||bipedal|| and stuff but I wouldn't say its that ||humanoid||

[signal dagger]

||Tauros|| and ||Miltank|| are both ||cows|| but that's really where the similarities stop, however ||Tauros|| and ||Bouffalant|| are both ||brown bulls that have fluff near their head and neck area||

[late tendon]

Yea I can see your point Pengu

[signal dagger]

So... with that whole Pokemon "evolution" theory pairing THOSE two instead of THESE two makes no sense

[late tendon]

Connect all 3

[white jungle]

See, Gardevoir doesn't have boobs because it's based on a knight, and traditionally knights were male. That being said, the majority of experience people have with knights nowadays is fantasy and in fantasy a lot of knights are women with big ol' milkers so I say Gamefreak oughtta bite the bullet and give it boobs. THAT'S how you fix the competitive scene.

[signal dagger]

Also all I said was that I didn't like ||Miltank||, I didn't mean to start a war. I just personally don't like it, it's not that I find it unsettling or ||nsfw||... jeez

[late tendon]

It's not a war hahaha I just mentioned how I find all this funny

[white jungle]

Because what do we know about sweaty competitive players? Love sexy Gardevoir. They'll be too distracted to abuse overpowered strategies well.

And then it'll

I was

I had a point.

I know I did.

[signal dagger]

epoch you're kinda going on a tangent here that I'm not sure I support

[white jungle]

I stand by my thesis.

Overpowered Mons will always exist, so we simply need to render their users non functional

The alternative is that we take out hits on competitive players that get too good

[signal dagger]

anyways, bottom line, ||Miltank|| is fine, not the best, not the worst, and those three should have been paired up the whole time instead of just ||Miltank|| and ||Tauros||

[white jungle]

Break their arms

[signal dagger]

end of story

goodbye

[white jungle]

I know it stands up and is like on par sentience with humans

I'd still ||drink moomoo milk|| tbh

That shit sounds delicious

[signal dagger]

spoiler this, people will know what mon we're talking about without this spoilered

[white jungle]

Well now they will

Before it could have just been a tangent

And now that I've censored it, it looks like the most perverted start to a sentence ever

[forest egret]

Yeah but you ranted about gardevoir tiddy so you're already in too deep now

[white jungle]

It's not for me it's for BALANCE

It's for Low.

Low wants the Gardevoir titty.

It will solve the problems.

[modest jasper]

i have not been part of this convo

do not drag me into this mess

[white jungle]

Why would I want Gardevoir titty

For one, it's purely for balance, which I don't care about

For two

It's not Haxorus

[white jungle]

I don't need a wife, I already have the perfect companion

A dinosaur with axes taped to its face

It's right up there with a Chimpanzee holding an automatic rifle

[icy forge]

I find this interesting, but also think that people don’t know how Pokémon works if really think that we will have a english name that include so clearly words like Sagrado(sacred) or Crux

[solar tiger]

Yeah this sounds stupid

Spirit pokemon is basically just ghost type

[forest egret]

I don't think "spirit" is the type, it would give whatever type the pokemon is

[vestal aurora]

regional looks orange and water type

orange is indeed my favourite type

[solar tiger]

ik, but conceptually

lorewise ghost types have already been able of inhabiting other pokemon

[forest egret]

I imagine this is more esoteric than just ghost possesion. Though tbf that part sounds kinda fake to me overall so who knows

[solar tiger]

ik the gimmicks added each generation since gen 6 have completely taken over the metagame but like

[modest jasper]

no starter evos are a bold move, doubt GF has any balls to do so

[solar tiger]

this sounds like it will make it way too complicated

[solar tiger]

i think he means no starter evos will be shown in the trailer

[forest egret]

Yeah that's what I think too

[modest jasper]

would make sense then

[solar tiger]

no starter evos would be like game freak only making 2 gyms

[modest jasper]

i mean

[solar tiger]

completely absurd

[modest jasper]

i wouldnt doubt that

at some point they are going to hit rock bottom, creatively wise

[forest egret]

No starter evos would mean that either they'd become useless very quickly, or they'd be too strong for pokemon you recieve first

[solar tiger]

or they have a weird ass ability that changes their forms depending on their level

which would be evolution but with extra steps

[forest egret]

Lol, yeah I don't think doing that would be ballsy, more like stupid, really

[modest jasper]

would be funny if they take down xenoverse

just to copy how xeno did starters

[solar tiger]

they dont need to take down xenoverse for that

xenoverse has no legal copyright

so game freak can copy as much as they want from it since xenoverse was created under the name pokemon

[modest jasper]

yes but have you heard of the buggy mess, pokemon uranium

[solar tiger]

yeah, i dont really know why that was taken down

so i cant really judge

[modest jasper]

hawaii themed

when gen7 was about to drop

[solar tiger]

...what?

[modest jasper]

yea

[solar tiger]

that's

such a stupid reasoning. That cant be the real reason

uranium aint even remotely close to hawaii

hell, it's closer to kanto and the sevii islands

[modest jasper]

tell your theory why it was taken down then, when rewjuv and rewborn are still alive and well

[icy forge]

Because using paid link I think

[solar tiger]

that's the most reasonable argument

[modest jasper]

the games i mentioned also have patreons

why are they alive?

[solar tiger]

yeah but patreons are donations

having to pay for fanmade pokemon content is against nintendo's copyright law

any fanmade content is alright until people start making money with it

[modest jasper]

patreon doesnt make money?

[solar tiger]

it's also why super flash fighters i believe was taken down after a tournament was hosted for it where the winners received prize money

[solar tiger]

patreon is a donation

if they had for example put a fangame behind someone's patreon, and you wouldn't be able to play without paying for said patreon, then that content would be taken down

[forest egret]

I believe Uranium specifically caught Nintendo's attention because of how big it was, sites like Kotaku reported on it and those articles went viral, one thing lead to another and the Uranium devs removed their download links and stuff

[solar tiger]

emphasis on their download links

the community is still active

and so called illegal links still exist and are easy to find

[forest egret]

Indeed. We're a little off track of SV stuff now though, probably should continue in #other-pokemon-games if anyone's gonna add more onto Uranium talk

[solar tiger]

aight

speaking of scarlet and violet

im betting on a regional mandibuzz or a new vulture pokemon

because griffon vultures are pretty important in spain

[forest egret]

It would be pretty cool, it could match the fact that Braviary has a regional now

[solar tiger]

another fighting/flying mon would be cool

but then id prefer it as a standalone pokemon

instead of another regional with that typing

they could also do what they did for centiskorch and scolipede, have pokedex entries state that they have a common ancestor

[icy forge]

Is a hint for regional Dragonite I guess

[vestal aurora]

would be cool imo

[forest egret]

A tentacruel evo sounds like it'd be pretty strong

His BST is already 515 so if that were to get added, how much stronger could it get

[icy forge]

Like Ursaluna I guess

[solar tiger]

regional dragonite would be so funny

because of the nationalist dragonite meme

[modest jasper]

vega with Tentyrant

water/dark

[solar tiger]

keeping water poison would be far more beneficial for a defensive mon like tenta

or is this gonna be a galarian corsola situation

[modest jasper]

this also means that cruel can use eviolite

[forest egret]

That's what I was thinking too

[solar tiger]

yeah, that's the big fear

it largely depends on what type the regional tentacruel will be

because regular tentacruel with eviolite would just be a specially defensive toxapex with decent special attack

which is scary

[forest egret]

It'd have decent physical defence too, and its HP is higher than Toxapex

[white jungle]

Not a fan of the "spirit Pokémon" leak.

Another limited-time thing

I just find that stuff kinda boring

Plus the idea of a third typing system doesn't sound great for a game primarily aimed at kids?

[forest egret]

We'll have to wait until friday to see if its even true

[white jungle]

"hey seven year old work this shit out"

[forest egret]

All of this could just be the ramblings of a crazy person

[white jungle]

Yeah

[solar tiger]

probably are

this friday, eh?

we'll see about that

[white jungle]

Honestly I'd rather they skip a gimmick entirely and give us double the regional forms than give us another limited-turn gimmick

Because at least regional forms give you a permanently cool new thing

[solar tiger]

gimmick of gen 9: reflect type but it's an item

[forest egret]

Gimmick of gen 9: The trainer can step in and fight

[solar tiger]

would be fun if the trainer this gen was a wimpy ass school kid

i want to play as a buff guy who wrestles with pokemon

[vestal aurora]

gimmick of gen 9: third type + mega+ dynamax + z move in one single item

[late tendon]

Riddler said that the gimmick of the game is a japanese letter that means "three"

What does it mean? Yes

Because it's a riddle

[forest egret]

Well that thing above mentions three types for three turns, so hmmm, if nothing else there's that connection

[solar tiger]

Riddler khu?

Cuz that guy is trustworthy

[solar tiger]

Three turns seems to be the most obvious gimmick here, but the execution of it is still a mystery

[opal gull]

tbf they have been having game just tell you what moves are gonna hit for not very effective super etc

[late tendon]

Yea, the guy who leaked the entire legends arceus

If you missed the vids I posted here, he also made a riddle about possibly ||Tauros, Miltank and Bouffalant||

[solar tiger]

well tauros is most definitely getting a regional

no doubt about that

[lapis linden]

It would make sense

[vestal aurora]

One of the theories is a prevo for tauros, miltank and boufallant and a snubbul regional

[patent rivet]

Bouffalant is not related to Miltank and Tauros though

A buffalo is not the same thing as a cow

[cobalt python]

if it's real and parasir ends up halfway decent in terms of stats or gets a better typing it is a mon with spore

might even end up as the first spore mon with 500+ bst which would be interesting

[flint sequoia]

If it's still grass/bug it still won't be any good

Unless it gets more than double parasect's speed

[opal gull]

chlorphyll

[flint sequoia]

Base 40 speed with chlorophyll is still bad, especially with grass/bug typing

Spore stalls out your own sun turns and steel types wall you completely

[knotty path]

give it Prankster

[modest jasper]

prank spore, only thing that can stop you is dark or a grass type

[spare roost]

Buffalos and Cows are both bovidae

[patent rivet]

That’s not the same species though

[spare roost]

if the prevolution is an auroch then sure

[patent rivet]

Or they could just stick to the male and female cow Pokémon

[fickle birch]

I'd like if Sunflora got a Grass/Fire evolution, something like Sunferno or Apollanthus. I think we all know that it's a useless, useless Pokémon as is. 😦

[white jungle]

If we're evolving useless pokemon

Dear God

Ledian

I did not know how bad it was until I looked at its stats

Good design, it looks cool

Awful, awful stats

[flint sequoia]

I remember a video by pokemon challenges where he only used the worst pokemon in an emerald nuzlocke, and Ledian was still useless

[molten chasm]

Yeah… yeah. lol

Every punching move in the game and access to Iron Fist.

Still has 15 base ATK iirc

[icy forge]

Masquerain gain a important sum of stats in Alola. I wish Ledian and Ariados have something similar

[molten chasm]

Right?

[patent rivet]

35

[forest egret]

Which is still pretty bad, even unevolved starters hit harder than that. They don't even have to make it strong just give it literally anything

[white jungle]

It should get an evolution which is just like

A ladybug version of the generic "punch fast" anime protagonist

[forest egret]

Alot of fan evos go the Super Sentai route and I like that

[white jungle]

https://youtu.be/VOK4NtCkNGg

This is Ledian

[molten chasm]

Honestly at this point I’d be happy if they threw 20 points into its SPD and called it a day. lol

But then again, you’ve seen my username, I use Ledian anyway. :proud:

[patent rivet]

Make Ledian great again for the first time

[molten chasm]

Oh god. lmao

[solar tiger]

Its evolution has the ability Requiem: this pokemon cant be damaged

[snow glade]

Is this one of these Jojo’s bizarre adventure references?

[molten chasm]

Yup!

[uneven badger]

Pidgey 2 in pkmn scharlet violet

[uneven badger]

Where is the weed

[little whale]

That would actually be pretty dope imo

I have these guys all around my backyard and they just give off those common pokemon vibes

[uneven badger]

No Mexican dog

If it happens

Homelo chino

[late tendon]

One of the riddles got solved https://youtu.be/1gsbw1nv3C4

[solar tiger]

My boi whiscash deserves some love

It is the worst water/ground type of all of them

[little whale]

I'd rather wait to see if anything is true first before I go and beleive any leaks

I've grown up in the Gen 4-6 era of strange 'leaks'

[solar tiger]

These are from riddler khu

The man who leaked all the new pokemon and forms in pokemon legends arceus a month before it came out

And he got them all perfectly right

[late tendon]

Yea, Riddler leaked the whole Legends Arceus (ALL forms, plot, gameplay mechanics, all that stuff) but he does that through riddles so it's more interesting to think about

[solar tiger]

riddle me this, pokemon fan. What white and furry bait, and can only be found in gen eight?

[white jungle]

My nuts

[solar tiger]

why are your nuts furry bait

[white jungle]

Gotta cast a wide net

[late tendon]

Cinderace Grandma professor

[solar tiger]

Yes

[opal gull]

well pokemonwise mainyl hoping I like fuecoco evo

game itself wise I have a lot of concerns/hopes

[fickle birch]

Also the top 8 in Journeys. 😅

[spare roost]

another way of looking at it, is instead of one of the water/ground types getting a different form, it would be a pokemon becoming a water/ground type

[white jungle]

Water/Ground type Slaking let's go

Sheer force liquidation stab

(this hypothetical Slaking has sheer force)

[spare roost]

what if, gorilla tactics though

[opal gull]

would have way lower stats if it wasnt gonna have anegative ability

[spiral tree]

yeah, but gen 2, 3, 4, and 5 are the ONLY ones with Water/Ground ones.

Fake

[late tendon]

is this the same dude who made regional diglett?

[late tendon]

no it's not my dad is a janitor in nintendo of china

[sterile garnet]

no that's from my mothers aunt's cousin's best friend who works at sega

[thin wolf]

That leak came from my father's brother's nephew's cousin's former roommate

[icy forge]

Is funny and strangely cute anyway

[late tendon]

ye I like the design

reminds me of galarian slowking a bit

[icy forge]

Yes. Has that “Sick” look (?)

[patent rivet]

Snot is a lot grosser than just having parts colored purple though

[south trellis]

leak (leak)

[lapis linden]

This leak better be real those final evos look sick

[late tendon]

There's a leak that the mythical pokemon will be the ruler of taxes

[flint sequoia]

Finally, justification for capturing them and throwing them in the pc

[icy forge]

Surely Fake again but I prefer see good fakemon that impossible riddles

[solar tiger]

How to make fake leaks

1. Draw a cool fakemon sketch with some japanese words next to it

2. Take a shitty picture

And you're done

[late tendon]

I like both riddles and fakemons

This is the beauty of releasing a new pokemon game

[shut dune]

Could be real, it's another Pikachu, gamefreak loves those

[icy forge]

And rabbits are very typical in Spain

[steep charm]

the riddler stuff all seems like bullshit to me

[late tendon]

although, he leaked the whole legends arceus and top 8 trainers in anime, so whatever he says is probably true, even if it's a too complicated riddle

[solar tiger]

^^^^^ this

He has more than proven his credibility

Im hoping the water/ground riddle ends up being whiscash

I want to see it not be shit, because it is by far the worst water/ground type

[white jungle]

I don't doubt the riddle stuff is accurate

I just find it kinda pretentious

[lament glen]

Eh, why not, give people something fun to play around with

Better than just directly leaking everything out there

Would be better if there were no leaks for course. Tho pokemon at least isnt a story game, so nothing to be ruined there

The only good leaks are when the game gets dumped online a week before release, because people can then take an actual look at them game and make an educated purchase decision. Which has sadly become necessary with some of the trash GameFreak has released recently

[late tendon]

I always go with "if you don't like it, you can ignore it" argument when something like this happens

Like, we put unofficial leaks in spoilers for a reason here

Ofc there are people who don't give a crap about hiding their spoilers but the problem is about them more than about the leaks

[icy forge]

I don’t know we had to put in Spoiler here, sorry

[late tendon]

It's not a rule or anything but we do that with unofficial leaks in case people only want to see the official info/leaks here

But I was talking more about much bugger stuff like youtube video previews and stuff

Like, things that you can't avoid

[icy forge]

Ah, yes

I don’t like the Youtubers that try to do a big thing with every “leak”

[opal gull]

most all the leaks have seemed pretty fake so far but best to spoiler em just inc ase or if people just dont wana ahve it affect expectations at all

[fickle birch]

As much as I love the design, it's almost definitely fake. The reference artwork isn't usually Sugimori-like, more anime-like. 😄

[late tendon]

that's how alolan starters evos were leaked so people continue to follow this format

they were references for the anime iirc

[fickle birch]

Yeah exactly (I think Ash was in one of the Alolan ones), that's how you know Sugimori art is a surefire sign of a fake. 🙂

[white jungle]

I wasn't old enough to be on the internet when Unova leaks were coming out

But the fact that the silhouettes got leaked for the starters

And people essentially coloured them in

Is fucking hilarious to me

[fickle birch]

They weren't leaked, they were officially teased. 😅

[white jungle]

Either way, funny as fuck

[fickle birch]

Classic fakes. 🙂

[molten chasm]

I still love how they got the typing right on the left one. lol

Like bruh, I don't come here for correct takes, get this weak stuff out of here. 😂

[white jungle]

He has risen.

[knotty path]

I miss the silhouette reveal days

people made some fun ideas out of em

[white jungle]

What if Quaxly just pulls a fast one on us and becomes a platypus

[fickle birch]

Water/Poison platypus would be cool, but it's not happening. 😅

[fickle birch]

@wanton idol You in another lifetime. 😛

[white jungle]

Now that I think about it

A really funny way of doing a platypus would be a regional Ducklet variant

With a different Evo line

[molten chasm]

I lowkey want them to make a Grass-type Platypus.

can i use your info

[icy forge]

Yes. Of course

[white jungle]

"kinda accurate"

Nailed it is more than kinda accurate

[late tendon]

another regional diglett?

or maybe evolution

or any other mon with the same concept

[white jungle]

A regional with a different evolution could be cool

I mean it would be awesome for it to actually be a big strong evolution instead of being a regional diglett which is still weak but big

[bitter forum]

Mega diglett pls

[icy forge]

I would love watch Digglet Evolve into a “traditional” Mole

Some people say RF can mean: Real Form Like Alola Exeguttor or Galarian Zigzagoon

[wanton idol]

YOO

lets go

[late tendon]

I just rewatched the second swsh trailer out of curiosity

It revealed 5 new mons, no regional forms, wild area, dynamax gimmick, the first gym leader and the legendary wolfs

I wonder what the sc/vi second trailer will be like

[forest egret]

Hmmm, I wonder what will come of this

[icy forge]

Regional Dunsparce I hope. If 4th gen have something I don,t like is they ruined Many Pokemon giving them ugly evolution

[forest egret]

I'd prefer a regional too. Dunsparce evo could mean it becomes an Angel Dragon like all the fan-designs and I'd rather not see that become real

[icy forge]

Dusparce also have potential to be a subterrestrial and scary dragon

But

If we are talking about “Spanish Dunsparce”

[white jungle]

Damn

Dunsparce got hot

[icy forge]

I was talking about the dragon 😅

But can combine both, I guess, in a shy Dunsparce that people found cute and feeling that popularity gain the Dragon/Fairy type

[lament glen]

I hope they add a bicycle pokemon

[wanton idol]

i hope they add a new meowth regional

[lament glen]

I want at least 3 new meowth evolutions tbh

And a fire type bergmite

[lapis linden]

Damn

[forest egret]

I hope we get mega pikachu

[lament glen]

and mega gigantamax pikachu

[white jungle]

I hope we get a regional Sudowoodo which is a grass type 🤓

Hate a lot of grass type Bonsly/Sudowoodo ideas. Sometimes a mega concept is rock/grass which isn't awful but it's like

Kinda missing the entire point

[sly nova]

Hope we get a new Wonder Guard user.
It'd be nice to see oricorio again, maybe have a gym leader with similar aesthetics to the fire form

[white jungle]

What about a wonder guard user who's like

An ice or grass type

So that it can actually have more than 1 health

[strong trail]

it having 1 health is the point though

[white jungle]

Eh, outside of a regional Shedinja it just seems too samey

[lament glen]

Keep unique abilities unique

Or else they loose what makes them... unique

[vestal aurora]

[flint sequoia]

Beserk was a good de-unique ability with Goltress, but agreed

[late tendon]

eh, there's just some abilities that look pretty generic and it's ok to de-unique them, like Berserk or Fur Coat, while other are very Pokemon-specific and they better stay unique like Wonder Guard or, let's say, Hunger Switch

[flint sequoia]

Hunger Switch is a bad ability

[late tendon]

But unique and funny

and the first one I could think of

[knotty path]

Honestly yeah some signature abilities are really more,,, mon specific, than others

Like I couldn't see Stance Change getting passed around much but stuff like Dazzling or Fluffy?

[sly nova]

Stance change could work for all sorts of fighting and steel types, anything that has different fighting styles.

Though the wording would have to be changed to be more generalized

[knotty path]

That's like saying Hunger Switch can work for any mon that eats though

It's integral and specifically built for one specific mon

Nothing else can really do anything with it unless you, again, make it specifically built for and integral to it

Yeah I could technically do it but it requires a lot more specification and thought vs say, "Fluffy Mareep"

[sly nova]

Yet, multiple pokemon get Power Trick, which is the attack move precedent for Stance Change. Though I admit it seems more likely that a given pokemon would get Power Trick in their movepool instead of some similar version of Stance Change.

[wanton idol]

they havent put up the livestream yet right

[forest egret]

Doesn't seem like it

[wanton idol]

sooon

[sterile garnet]

Soon

[wanton idol]

2 minutes

[forest egret]

I don't remember how it was for SwSh, but perhaps its just a video rather than a stream

[sterile garnet]

Wait it that close?

[wanton idol]

they might do that

[round night]

its just a trailer or a pokemon direct pls?

[forest egret]

Trailer

[round night]

ok thanks

[strong trail]

link?

[wanton idol]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ruBLEEqw_c

[wanton idol]

LOL

AMAZING

[smoky bison]

coop tho??? That could be interesting

[strong trail]

oh legendaries

those look furbaity as hell gotta say

[frail fox]

Pokemon ara and bara versions

[smoky bison]

They look just like the new elder dragons from Monster Hunter Rise

[fickle birch]

OH MY GOD THAT PURPLE ONE. ❤️

AND LECHONK.

[forest egret]

Best

[wanton idol]

i like the violet one

funny electrical thingy

[dull shoal]

Who would call their pokémon "Lechonk"??

[plain valley]

Lechonk

Is

Funny

[dull shoal]

I am le chonk mon

[native thistle]

I will kill for smolive

[wanton idol]

gamers i managed to reserve something 😎

on smogon sprite project

les go

[plain valley]

Which???? 👀

[smoky bison]

Lechonk 100%

[plain valley]

Good

[dull shoal]

I have a few questions tho, why do the legends have a motor wheel in their torsos

[frail fox]

the multiplayer seems like a neat feature that I will never use

[wanton idol]

smoliv

[forest egret]

Here's the art of the humans

[pastel lark]

YOOOO WTF THE LEGENDARY LOOKS AMAZING

[abstract linden]

Lizzard

[plain valley]

GRASS/NORMAL

[wanton idol]

furry bait-

[dull shoal]

I insist on saying they would look better without those motor wheels

[abstract linden]

Lizzard

Wheels huh

[sly nova]

Pokemon Truckers version

[forest egret]

I wanna know what they're based on

[pastel lark]

Violet > scarlet

[plain valley]

Same

But I think I'll be going Violet, probably

[wanton idol]

same

[forest egret]

I know they've both got like vehicle parts but I imagine there's some sort of deeper origin maybe

[wanton idol]

i like the electric dragoon

[plain valley]

Red one looks...off

[sly nova]

The problem is, I like the scarlet professor better. Of course, I usually don't use the legendaries much.

[pastel lark]

The professor on scarlet is 😳

[strong trail]

depending on other exclusives I'll go for violet too

[plain valley]

((and I was hoping they'd reveal the region gimmick))

[pastel lark]

Also toxapex in the game = good game

[plain valley]

But did you see Clauncher in the back???

[sly nova]

I like the open world pokecenter kiosks, really streamlines exploring.

[plain valley]

Byeah

[forest egret]

The legendaries names on the site are Koraidon and Miraidon

[pastel lark]

sprigatito did not stand in two legs for the whole trailer

A good sign

[wanton idol]

guys which size is better

[pastel lark]

I love this lil guy

[wanton idol]

im so ready to sprite these pokemon lmfao

[sly nova]

"Ancient lizard" "Future lizard"

[forest egret]

Interesting

[sly nova]

Explains why there's cave woman prof and Tron prof

[forest egret]

So that seems to be the established theme of the game then, an Old vs New, Past vs Future thing

[sterile garnet]

Past vs futur

Oh wait you already said that

[strong trail]

wasn't that black & white's theme also kinda

[sterile garnet]

Thiccle

[forest egret]

Nah, Black and White's theme was Truth vs Ideals

[pastel lark]

Katten speedrun

[sterile garnet]

KATTEN MOMENT

[olive forge]

I want Lechonk so badly

[sterile garnet]

Same

[pastel lark]

time to wait for someone to make a 8 hours video about 2 mins

[sterile garnet]

Yeah

[forest egret]

So this was referring to Lechonk then I guess, nice

[pastel lark]

Rewatching the trailer

[smoky bison]

how was that a riddle tho

[pastel lark]

And qwilfish is confirmed in

[smoky bison]

Literally just "yeah we will have a pig-esque Pokemon"

[olive forge]

Qwilfish ? 👀

[forest egret]

Alot of his stuff isn't riddles lol, idk why he calls himself that

Alot of it just "here's a tiny piece of an image I'm leaking" like wow cool riddle

[vestal aurora]

The name of the professors are really good

[spark chasm]

The new mon was soo cute

[vestal aurora]

Sada comes from passada which means past and Turo comes from Futuro which means Future

[strong trail]

qwilfish just floatin' around, having a good time

[olive forge]

Oh right

[quiet frost]

LECHONK

[fickle birch]

RIP trees.

[vestal aurora]

Pawmi is the pikaclone, right?

[forest egret]

Yes

[fickle birch]

It'll evolve though. 🙂

[forest egret]

It's your Rival's signature, like Morpeko

[smoky bison]

Honestly I really like the new Pokemon so far

especially the olive guy

[forest egret]

Same

I like the funny pige

[vestal aurora]

I like the past legend a lot

Funny pige is really nice

[fickle birch]

Miraidon's my favourite legendary in a while. ❤️

[vestal aurora]

They're totally gonna be rideable

[forest egret]

I like that Lechonk is specifically a truffle pig

[fickle birch]

It's in the name, Mi-RIDE-ON. 😅

[sterile garnet]

Take me to smoliv garden

[sly nova]

I honestly thought it was a regional budew at first

[sterile garnet]

Yeah same

[wanton idol]

lol im using budew for ref

[frail fox]

there is definitely going to be a motorcycle the player can ride by combining the two legendaries

[forest egret]

They ride them into the past and future

[smoky bison]

I really hope they build upon the multiplayer aspect a lot. Not that fake shit from Sw/Sh. Connect with friends on the spot and battle/trade with them in the overworld and maybe even PvE shit

[frail fox]

it looks like they can literally just go around in the same world doing whatever, like a mini-MMO which is cool

[white jungle]

Strange that they didn't unveil the mega-evolution esque gimmick considering it's already been lraked

Regardless, so excited for Morbin' forms

[forest egret]

It's been leaked?

Oh

I get it now

[white jungle]

Only a morbillion times

[sly nova]

I'm looking forward to having a cool girl rival, it'll be a breath of fresh air after the hot blooded bumblekings we've been getting.

[wanton idol]

gonna start over

[sterile garnet]

Wow

[white jungle]

Okay but fucking Lechonk?

Perfect

Peak pokemon

[forest egret]

Le pige

[vestal aurora]

I like all designs so far

[white jungle]

I feel like the legendaries are gonna get a lot of shit but I really like them tbh

Especially with the possibility of them representing modern/old or future/past

[vestal aurora]

As a dude who lives in the Iberian Peninsula these feel like dudes who could live here

[white jungle]

I'm also not sure if they will be, but they look like dragon types, and I welcome that

[forest egret]

There is on average 5 miraidons near you at all times

[white jungle]

I like Xerneas and Yveltal but the dragon legendaries were peak box legends

[vestal aurora]

Yes, and 6 koraidons as well

[pastel lark]

There is a ad in game about it sooo... maybe

[white jungle]

Pokémon Colloseum

[smoky bison]

Wait we know what the gimmick is?

[vestal aurora]

Morbin

[forest egret]

Morbin' makes me feel good

[white jungle]

Yeah it's Morbin

[smoky bison]

fuck

[white jungle]

You give your Pokémon a blood transfusion and it morbs out

[forest egret]

So, what animal is Pawmi supposed to be specifically

[sly nova]

Blood vials

Would you be upset if there wasn't a new mechanic? I think I wouldnt mind

[pastel lark]

only complain i have is, the pokecenters looks bad

[sly nova]

Bloodmon pokeborne when

[white jungle]

I wouldn't be upset if there wasn't a new battle mechanic, put it that way

[sly nova]

I just want berry pots back

[forest egret]

I wonder, is the co-op supposed to be the gimmick

[white jungle]

Honestly I'm very much of the opinion that megas need to return for battles because they were simple, cool, and still had a lot of potential. I'd rather that over a new battle mechanic.

[sly nova]

I want megas for lower powered pokemon. Mega Beedrill is exactly what I want more of.

[white jungle]

But I'd definitely still want something new overall. I could see there being maybe a time based mechanic, for example, but I'm not sure how well that would work, especially given that PLA basically had its own form of time travel with the rifts.

[vestal aurora]

Quaxly is a kicker

Less goooo

[smoky bison]

I want cooler PvE content mostly. Something like the Totem Pokemon/raid battles 'n stuff

[white jungle]

I think if it's an open world mechanic, it would be cool to see something that can't just be done in specific places

I'd rather have a thing you could do anywhere

[wanton idol]

new pose for smogon

[sterile garnet]

Epic

[forest egret]

There's a thing that Khu posted that may be what the types are for the starters, and people seem to be guessing water/fighting for Quaxly's evo, maybe this helps add to that

[vestal aurora]

What's the green post in the poke center?

[white jungle]

But yeah, battle mechanics? Honestly feeling a little overdone ATM, especially with everything feeling like an inferior form of megas. Some Z-moves were cool but 90% of them were just a stronger attack with no special effect, and dynamax was honestly kind of a let down. For how cool Gigantamax forms are, they barely matter.

The best gimmicks have been the ones that add entirely new forms, like regionals and megas. Maybe something akin to regionals with a more time-travel based theme?

Like future forms and past forms of Pokémon

[vestal aurora]

If something like future and past forms worked like megas i wouldn't be mad at all

[white jungle]

I was thinking more like regionals but either works

Like permanent new versions instead of a temporary form switch

[vestal aurora]

Permanent could also be fun

[white jungle]

But maybe I'm in the wrong, because admittedly regionals, past forms and future forms would be a lot of new not-new Pokémon which could get not fun very fast

[white jungle]

I can see it working! I just don't want gen 1 Pokémon to be remade for the 300th time y'know?

[forest egret]

Real cool

[white jungle]

Plus future/past forms could put Hisuian Mons in a weird position. Ideally "past" forms would be way older than a few centuries ago, but Hisuian Mons are still technically a past form so where would that put them?

Still, I think it would be a cool concept and could even go pretty hard with the pokedex entries if it detailed the nature of certain changes

Like say you had a wailord past form based on those pre-whales that had legs

Why? What's that about? Pokedex can tell you

[sly nova]

Probably won't happen, but I'd love to go through a portal to ancient times and see stuff like bug/water Kabuto

[knotty path]

I like the past/future or ancient/modern themes they're going for

[white jungle]

Past/future forms could also open up the way for more legendary variants, just saying

we could finally get Regigigas in its prime

OH SHIT

[forest egret]

It would've been cool, but I believe Crown Tundra has confirmed the fossilization doesn't make them rock type, they're just like that

[white jungle]

Slaking past form but the entire line is based on giant ground sloths

We could get a Metagross Future variant which is based on sci-fi space travel and is a special attacker instead

[sterile garnet]

I mean yeah, but I think that's because so many have been resurrected

[white jungle]

My question is how the themes of old and new or past/future are gonna fit with the setting of you being a whole schoolchild

[forest egret]

The idea behind Kabutops and Omanyte being in the crown tundra is that Calyrex safeguarded a few of them, which implies they've always been rock type, and the "reviving turns pokemon to rock" doesn't have any actual evidence behind it, people just assume its the case

[wanton idol]

more work

[snow glade]

they added another sus pokemon

[snow glade]

Another pig

[wanton idol]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

finished

[forest egret]

Awesome work

[wanton idol]

and just for fun

[forest egret]

Full of oil

[wanton idol]

@sterile garnet just like norway

[sterile garnet]

yes

[plain valley]

Nice

[quartz elm]

i like the pig, the pig is my boy and I love him

[wanton idol]

pig

[twin trail]

am i the only one who likes the scarlet one more

[vestal aurora]

No

I love it

[forest egret]

I think I like that one more too yeah

[vestal aurora]

That primal vibe is so cool

[twin trail]

yEEEEEES

[fickle birch]

Both are really cool, to be honest. It's a great duo. 😄

[forest egret]

Ye, they're both nice

I wonder what their types are, has that been revealled somewhere yet or no

I can imagine electric/steel for the future dude maybe

[vestal aurora]

I think it's dragon/fight and dragon/electric

[forest egret]

Ah so they're both dragon, nice

[vestal aurora]

Like the riddles are suggesting

[fickle birch]

There's no way Miraidon isn't Electric. 🙂

[twin trail]

he could totally be steel though

[forest egret]

I'm slightly disappointed by the typings for the other dudes so far, pure electric pikaclone and 2 normal types, I hope that changes with evos

[fickle birch]

Grass/Normal is cool though, better than another small mono-Grass-type. 🙂

I'm convinced that the Pikaclone will evolve though. 😄

[forest egret]

Would that make it the first pikaclone to do that? That'd be cool

[fickle birch]

Depends on if you count Marill. 😛

[forest egret]

Was gonna say, idk if I count Marill since it's water but idk

I was hoping Lechonk would be a ground type since it's a truffle pig

[jovial portal]

probably evo

[fickle birch]

I expect it will be. 🙂

[vestal aurora]

I think lechonk will become normal/ground and then dark/ground

Could be cool

[white jungle]

Lechonk seems to have like

Eye gunk?

[jovial portal]

I hope lechonk wont evolve in something ugly though

[white jungle]

It might just be a weirdly placed thing but I'm assuming it's meant to be eye crust

And a dirty face

[forest egret]

I think it's just meant to be eyebags like what alot of hogs have

[fickle birch]

||The opposite is expected to happen. ||

[white jungle]

So I'm thinking maybe ground type with some sort of reference to the Sandman?

Big leap but might as well guess something interesting

[forest egret]

The yellow is probably just for like a bit of extra design flair but I think it's meant to give off this sorta impression

[white jungle]

Maybe, but it's the way it sort of forms a drop shape coming out from the corner

[jovial portal]

welp never evolving my LeChonk

[white jungle]

Plus the gold colour seems like an intentional thing

[quartz elm]

apparently Lechonk isnt fat, he has pure muscle under that hide and he gets spooked easily

[white jungle]

So I could see it being a ground type with an eye sand thing going on

[quartz elm]

It may appear fat at first glance, but in reality, the Pokémon’s body is mostly muscle built by constantly walking around in search of food.```

[forest egret]

It'd be a weird theme to introduce, since the things we know from the site seem to suggest it's not gonna go that direction yeah

[jovial portal]

Lechonk could maybe get a split evo, would be cool

[white jungle]

Ground/fighting could be cool

I know it being an early Pokémon means normal will probably be tacked on

But Timburr was also a pretty early Pokémon

[jovial portal]

Ah now I know what the legends make me think of ... Kommo-o

[opal gull]

that was cause it was a machop reference

[white jungle]

Could also be either weak to or strong against bug types

The aroma thing could go either way

Because it could just be to signify it being good against bugs, but if it were weak to bug the aroma would protect it a little

Oh god wait

Stink brought about by food

Please don't make it a fart pig

[quiet frost]

I feel like Scarlet and Violet are going back to the Let’s Go Pikachu and Eevee style, which I really love 😊

[white jungle]

Please don't give us a fucking fart pig gamefreak

[jovial portal]

LeFart

[white jungle]

Please he's so good as he is don't give us a gassy hog

[jovial portal]

LeStink

[forest egret]

Lol, well the site says "radiates" so I think it's just its odor, rather than fart stuff

[jovial portal]

let's hope it is just flavor text

[white jungle]

Just saying perfect time for Pokepark 3 cough cough

Games currency is berries, new Pokémon is good at sniffing out berries that's a good npc

[jovial portal]

also do you think pokemon will follow? The starters and pikachu did in the trailer when doing co-op

[white jungle]

I'd say almost guaranteed yes

Scarlet and Violet seems like the culmination of stuff from PLA, Sword and Shield, etc

[jovial portal]

finally it is weird it took so long, going to 3d + dexit should have made this easier

[white jungle]

And Sword and Shield has followmon

At least the DLC does

[jovial portal]

it does? havent played it

[white jungle]

Yeah it's bullshit

[jovial portal]

oh right the dlc havent watched the dlc at all XD

[forest egret]

Yeah I think they specifically restricted it to the wild area in the DLC

[jovial portal]

After seeing someone beat all the gyms I lost interest in swsh

[white jungle]

OKAY BUT REAL TALK IM GENUINELY PRETTY WORRIED THAT WE DIDN'T SEE ANY OUT OF BATTLE CATCHING

[jovial portal]

probably will be like the normal games though

[white jungle]

IN FACT WE LITERALLY SAW SOMEONE APPROACH A SMOLIVE AND THEN IT CUT TO A BATTLE WITH SMOLIVE

Fucking bullshit if we don't get that stuff back

[opal gull]

there wasn't gonna be any

they said at start

on the site

[jovial portal]

I dont mind the old method though

[opal gull]

what pokemon is all about battle to catching

[white jungle]

I do, it sucks balls

[jovial portal]

no no you do it wrong you throw them, not suck them

[opal gull]

they werent gonna be able to integrate stuff like that this soon afte ranyways these wer ebuilt at same time and they would wait for response before changing formula widlly like that

[white jungle]

PLA literally introduced the only catching system that makes it worthwhile to catch more than a handful of Pokémon

[opal gull]

it did seem like maybe ya got an auto crit capture if ya snuck up though
