Nice announcements but I was hoping they'd announce Home compatibility for BDSP and LA. Seems we'll get that next year instead.

This is probably the first time in a long time where I like all the starter designs so far. But so far, I'm team Quaxly.

 

The state has lots of culture, cool animals, beautiful locations and different biomes. It's also where I live. Damn fine candidate to base a Pokémon region on if you ask me.

Spain/Italy are pretty great too, don't get me wrong.

 

Yeah, from reading new articles about this announcement, looks like the physical location is based on the Iberian Peninsula, which includes Spain and Portugal, connected to France's south. Maybe that means we'll get some call-backs to Pokemon X and Y since the Kalos region is pretty much Pokemon World's expy of France.

 

Yeah they look pretty cute, the duck is my favourite right now. And I agree, I hope their final evos can appeal to me, Cinderace and Inteleon were a bit too anthropomorphic; at least with Rillaboom you can forgive a great ape for being a bit more human-like  

 

I can’t remember the last time I fell so hard for a starter as I have for Fuecoco. Look at that dork, I love him.

 

Tell me I’m not the only one seeing this. Coincidence?!

Looking on Facebook seeing that’s the case again, YOU KNOW DAMN WELL I WILL!!!

Or what?

 

Liking the designs for the new Starter Pokemon.

They don't show much of the actual game of course, but it's looking interesting thus far. Looking forward to seeing more about these new games.

 

I can already see that they are designing new models for Pokemon in this game with the same functionality for those we have seen in Legends Arceus, this is a good step for Pokemon.

Some may already be in outrage of how it looks, but this is definitely old footage, it's not going to be anything stunning, but it will still be cleaned up to at least PLA/SWSH levels of polish.

 

You know what…

 

color me interested in Scarlet and Violet but i am undecided on a starter and eagerly awaiting more info.

 

You raaang? With Bank's eventual shutdown announced, I think its more required than ever to have something allowing for all of 'em in one game. Plus what a selling point! (plus we all didn't buy the balance reason and we especially didn't buy it once Landarous made his re-appearance)

Anywho, interested, albeit on the side of 'Maybe pushing these out a bit quick'. Dexit only happened because Sw/Sh had to be rushed along and older versions show pokemon since removed. Heck, Grelninja was in the game in earlier prototypes, plus Furfrou

Well, if its as poorly received/balanced as Gigantomaxing, we'll have another gimmick banned by the biggest battling groups out there. Plus lore-wise, Gigantomaxing is sort of limited to Galar

Either way, Arceus DID re-implement the slots for mega evolution after they were removed in Sw/Sh (Except for Mega Slowbro and Mega Rayquaza who kept their unused data in Sw/Sh for whatever reason)

 

From the Japanese site

"you can freely explore the world richly expressed in the open world. A number of nature and towns that spread seamlessly without boundaries. And the Pokemon who live there. You can see it in the sky, in the sea, in the forest, in the city, and everywhere in the world. This work is an open world work that anyone from children to adults can enjoy while keeping the real thrill of the "Pokemon" series, such as fighting and capturing Pokemon"

English site confirms.

This is an actual open world game.

 

So the first core games which are open world, which is definitely cool, I still don’t understand why Nintendo/Game Freak won’t “Mon up” and include all 1000+ Pokemon (which I’m guessing will be the final total upon release) PLUS Mega Evolutions/Primals/Ultra Necrozma into these games

It literally goes back and makes a liar out of the franchise’s legendary tagline that’s been there since the beginning: “GOTTA CATCH ‘EM ALL”!

If you wanna Catch ‘Em All, you need ALL the Pokemon in the game to begin with!

 

hmmmm.

 

Well bank isn’t being shutdown yet. It’s becoming a free service. Also there is Pokémon Home. It’s successor. Now I’m not against the dexit people. Like I’m not going to complain if they have all 1000 Pokémon compatible in S&V. That’s a positive if it happens. I could care less about the gimmicky stuff being included. I just hate how they rain on everyone’s parade.

As we can clearly see in the news there’s a lot of bad stuff going on in the world. People are loosing loved ones and their homes. But people are getting all butt hurt out there because they can’t have Greninja in Sword and Shield. Like if this is you biggest issue in life grow the hell up.

 

I'll have to see the other evolutions to decide a favorite. It's either grass kitty or fire gator.

For the Arceus update, I was able to find alpha versions of the all Hisui starters, and I found an alpha Spiritomb.

I found shiny Kadabra, Machop, and Ralts. This is the third time I've seen shiny Ralts and they've all been female. Can I just get one male please?

 

BTW these guys for the evil team in the new games or we riot
