I'm way out of the loop, did anything ever come of those inaccessible parts of the power plant in x/y? Or the "faceless men" thing, or the guy who gave you the statue of an unidentified pokemon that didn't seem to serve any purpose? Also what kind of name is "Type: Null"? Also are mega pokemon just not a thing they're doing anymore? Also what the heck is going on with pokemon everything about these new games looks completely nuts

No, no, maybe, an unusual one, we don't know for sure, absolutely.

I want to see Type: Null in the anime to see if they actually call it Type: Null every single time they talk about it/to it.

:allears:

Type: Null is basically my new favorite pokemon.

Also the Cutiefly evo is v good.

Picking a team is going to be super hard in SuMo. I'm already at like 9 and think I might have to cut Gumshoos, Sandalit and Minior.

gently caress why are there so many good pokemon.

I wonder how generic Z-moves are going to be gated in that case.

Like... what the gently caress kind of Steel move do all Steel types learn? Or Bug move? Or Dark?

Generic stones just use any move of that type, though it may need to be an attacking move

Could be that they're puppet-mastering Team Skull so they end up looking like the good guys.

So that trailer had some dialog that mentioned that the Aether Foundation was making an artificial island just for Pokémon...which makes them Pokémon Seasteaders, I suppose.

That makes me hope that there is a redemptive arc for Team Skull and together you go after the real enemy: Libertarians

There's no way the Aether Foundation isn't evil, with Type: Null and UB-01 there's no way they aren't doing some freaky genetic modification stuff. I hope this means you eventually team up with your boy Guzma to take them down.

Also I want a Type: Null and UB-01 on my team.

If anime has taught me anything, it's that Aether are totally going to be evil. They're set up too goody-goody while being tech focused in a story that seems to be about how tech things are going wonky.

Ultra Beasts don't seem to be Pokemon at all considering how the official website classifies them. They might just be boss only characters.

There is no way the new route 1 normal type is an exclusive.
