I guess I might get Sun because of the muscle mosquito but it might not even matter as I dunno if you can even use ultra beasts or whatever.

I kinda wish they would do a Diamond\Pearl remake, Red\Blue remake, Pokemon Z or whatever so I can have another normal pokemon game to go along with this weirdness

Not really sure how this is that abnormal?

Didn't some nerds who can read Japanese say that it confirms this almost word for word? You are the memer my friend.

If I had to decide today I'd get moon for the elegant cockroach and lunala being slightly better (though all cover legendaries are always garbage in every game)

I hope more differences are given before the game is out though

This new pokemon game is weird as gently caress. It's probably safe to say this is the biggest departure the series has had in 20 years.

fighting non-pokemon enemies was a thing in black2/white2, and thats the only thing i can see someone thinking of as a big departure if they didn't know any better

My theory for rockruff evolution:

In sun rockruff evolves if it levels up during the day after level 'x'.

In moon rockruff evolves if it levels up during the night after level 'x'.

Keeps the day/night with a sensible way of being actually version exclusive.

If you can't capture the ultra beasts, might be that mega stones/z-moves/TMs/HM are contingent on beating them.

It'd be nice if nightwolf/daywolf were like the Deerling season forms, and once you have the form you can breed up more of that form.

I would play a pokemon game that were made up entirely of pokemon versions of every different dog breed and I would definitely run a gundog party.

The day dog is better and the muscle mosquito is better so I guess I'll probably get Sun, but it's not like it matters much as with the GTS I can just trade for exclusives anyway.

People are probably talking about the Black/White Kyurem fight before Ghetsis, but I don't know if I really count that since you can go and catch it later.

I'm getting moon because Lunala is a decent legendary, especially compared to that dumb lion thing. I don't really think about the versions much now though since the few exclusive things are almost always easy to acquire in the other game via trading.

Also I drew a sleepy Shelmet.
