Hold the phone. Did we ever get game news about Zygarde's forms? like, did a model ever show up or was it all just anime art and screens? I'm trying to remember but all I can recall is that it was announced alongside Ash Greninja, so now i'm thinking that it was never even intended to be used in the games since the whole percentage thing wouldn't translate well. Z is Anime Exclusive?

No it was also in the game Pokémon Tretta

Softboiled on Mew was never gone, you can tutor it in FRLG and Emerald and then transfer it up. It's been a legal move for all six gens.

More likely Z was in the works at some point and basically just ended up being canceled in favor of Sun/Moon getting pushed up to coincide with the 20th year

I have a feeling it came down to either do Z and rush out SM, or scrap Z and focus dev time fully on SM. If that's the case, they definitely made the right choice.

I honestly kind of thing some of the original Gen IV designs, like Infernape and the box legends, felt a little Digimon-ey. But that was the only generation that gave off that vibe.

I kind of like Druddigon. The bright red face isn't unusual because a lot of reptiles have brightly colored faces for mating or dominance or whatever.

Yes. And you can transfer mons from Gen 1 to it through Bank. Not to Gen 6 though.

the Pokemon website posted:

Using Pokémon Bank, you'll be able to transfer Pokémon you've caught in the Nintendo 3DS Virtual Console versions of Pokémon Red, Pokémon Blue, and Pokémon Yellow into your copy of Pokémon Sun or Pokémon Moon. Pokémon from Pokémon Omega Ruby, Pokémon Alpha Sapphire, Pokémon X, and Pokémon Y can also be brought into Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon in the same way.

Looks like no trading compatibility between XYORAS and S&M too.

I like Druddigon; he looks like a dino-cut crinkle fry was wished to life by a child. Given that there is lego-digimon I guess that doesn't quite absolve him of that affiliation though.

I'm going to use the Mew glitch in the Virtual Console games and transfer them to gen 7 and give them all away via Wonder Trade on Christmas.

Interesting that there would be a compatibility gap there considering that there aren't any major huge overhauls to Pokemon stats like there was from Gen II to III. Oh well, as long as S&M works with the bank who cares

They'll probably just Time Machine it and go "hey these moves are illegal in Gen 3 onwards, you gotta remove them" when you try to transfer stuff to Gen 7.

if they let me keep and use my DynamicPunching Swampert then gen 1 on tms moves are most likely going to be free game.

You can't directly trade between any generation except 1 and 2. S&M are compatible with Bank and they said you can bring your folks from XYORAS through it, so your Gen 3 Pokemon should be fine.

Yeah, I meant transfer not trade. If they clarified that then that's good. There's some Pokemon from my old Ruby that have outlasted my childhood dog who was adopted around the same time they came out.

if they are going to convert things from gen1 they will probably work out a way to convert anything from the bank if necessary.
