Zore posted:Have we ever seen a person die? The only graveyard in the series is explicitly for Pokemon and you can be an 8ft tall immortal giant and barely merit a second glance. Az got hit by an ancient laser cannon which grants people immortality. The protagonist of XY and his group of pals also got hit by this same weapon when fighting team Flare so they're similarly immortal now. At least I think that's what went down. XY's plot was strange.

I thought Az was cursed by his Floette because he was a dick warmonger king who dropped a magic pokenuke 3000 years and killed a ton of people and pokemon. Then he hobo'd it up until he crossed paths with the XY protagonist who beats him in a pokemon battle which makes his Floette go 'cool, I'll come back now' The immortality beam only hit protag and Lysandre, who is now presumably alive forever under 10 tons of rubble. Which apparently they reverse engineered from Az's cursed body and Xerneas? Yeah it got loving weird. Zore fucked around with this message at 04:07 on Sep 8, 2016 |

One post game daily event will be entering a house where you can battle a different vacationing mom each day of the week, starting with your mom in Gen VII and going all the way back to Red's mom.

I hope Cynthia keeps her Summer home in Alola. In fact I hope she has a home in each region from here on out, and just jets back to Sinnoh every time the elite four is beaten to beat up a new ten year old in a dumb hat

That was the sound of the radio turning on at the time. Remember, these are games for children. There's no way Nintendo's letting Game Freak put in stuff like people committing suicide.

I mean the stuff with Lysandre is clearly leaving him to die though and in general pokemon isn't as shy about death as other games. A major 'dungeon' in Gen 1 was a graveyard where you had to fight the ghost of a pokemon murdered by Team Rocket. And uh Cyrus/Lysandre/Ghetsis all try to kill the MC of their respective games explicitly. And you leave 2/3 of them to die in hell/a collapsing supervillain lair.

Space T Rex posted:I'd prefer that because it means I can actually catch the drat thing. Pokemon or not, do not show me something I cant stuff in a ball and force to fight for money!! It'd be really weird and sort of against the whole spirit of the series if you had to fight a creature you couldn't also catch and use yourself. I know Pokemon wasn't the first RPG where you could recruit monsters and have them fight for you, but it may have been the first where all of them could be controlled.* *I'm probably wrong

A major 'dungeon' in Gen 1 was a graveyard where you had to fight the ghost of a pokemon murdered by Team Rocket. Hey man, Cyrus made that choice himself. The MC didn't do nothing. Also, although Ghetsis might not have been left for dead, his mind did explode and left him in 24 hour care from his ninja apprentices. Which is also pretty rough.

Even betond the Uber Beasts, Island Guardian battles with your 1 pokemon vs. several enemies who get stat boosts is a departure from the relatively even playing field of past gens.

If I remember correctly, it was originally built as a weapon but then his Floette died. In his grief, AZ used it to revive her and give himself eternal life. At least in X that was the case.

Internet Kraken posted:Rather than actually being her it could be a psuedo pokemon creature that was created by the Aether foundation performing bad science, with her as the test subject. So the ultra beasts aren't actually people but weird monsters created as reflections of people they performed experiments on. well Lusamine said she wanted to protect the pokemon of other worlds too so maybe they broke open to another dimension and the ultra beasts came through and are mimicking things and that one is mimicking the little girl.

Not much new, but there is a shot of the menu when selecting the Z-Move and a shot of selecting a Poke-HM. Oh I must have missed something: Can we actually change what we wear in this? I see different clothes on the characters.
