A cool trailer with a lot of features I wouldn't have expected. But man, that last part has gotten everyone into a ruffle. I wonder how many will avoid playing the demo out of "principle".

I don't, because they suck. Ash-Greninja was awesome until they made it lose in a lovely way.

Wow, they really did just straight up not put Megas into the game... I was right. It's for the best really, that they don't have Mega Evolution in this game.

THINKS CON-AIR WAS A GOOD MOVIE

Unless they set the bar for this properly high (they actually might with all the data they've probably collected from X/Y/OR/AS) this thing will probably be done in a few hours.

I imagine it'll be like World Quests in World of Warcraft or Fates in FFXIV or whatever other big multi-player event in any other game. In that there's either going to be a way for it to "respawn" to guarantee you aren't SoL because it went live at 9am Japan time and you're still the gently caress asleep like a normal person, or it'll simply last til whatever date and time regardless of how finished it gets.

Marge, I'd like to be alone with the sandwich for a moment.

Are you going to eat it?

...yes...
Seems weird that they wouldn't add any new megas, they could just be banning them for awhile to let the new mons shine. Or maybe they'll add mega stones as DLC!

My money is on the later. It'll pop up, be "completed" in like 3 or 4 hours, continue running until it's end date, and then pay out rewards.

Alola Forms & Z-Moves are the big new thing in Sun & Moon. It's all but guaranteed that they're gonna add new Megas in the third version or the DP remakes, whichever is the next game this gen.

Its a 'not-mega evo' Ash got in the anime that's now in the game for some reason.

Also looks like it replaces Greninja's normal ability so I'm guessing its worse than Protean Greninja anyways.

No matter how one loves, there are always different aims. Love can take a great many forms, whatever the era.

alg posted:

The anime introduced a sort of pseudo-Mega Evolution that, as of yet, only Ash' Greninja can access through the power of friendship or whatever.

In game, it's a Greninja that has a unique ability called Battle Bond, that causes it to change into Ash' Greninja after it causes an opponent's pokemon to faint. It's probably functionally identical to a Mega Evo.

Also worth pointing out, from Serebii's Twitter: we have Ice Stones now. I guess that ends the "how to evolve Alolan Vulpix" debate.

Oh yes, I agree. More wacky adventures with pokemon please.

gently caress Ash-Greninja though. It reeks of marketing of toys and that pisses me off even though it's a totally sensible thing to do for a business. Ash-Greninja is lame, and it makes no sense and it stole the spotlight from Pikachu. :(

It was. You couldn't even pet some Pokemon like Slugma bc the hand would get burnt, and most Pokemon had a spot that made them angry if you touched it.
