a thing in B/W2 that was kinda dumb.

Essentially what you see in the video, other people's avatars open shops and you have some buy/sell with them.

Hopefully Eevee can use it too along with a leaf stone now so Gamefreak doesn't have to keep putting in those ice and moss rock areas.

The only time they've ever changed an evo method was with Milotic when they removed contests and needed some other way for Milotic to evolve. So now its the only pokemon with 2 methods to get to the same evo.

Realistically, local evolutions aren't going away and they'll shove in ice/moss rock and a 'magnetic area' (Magnezone, Probopass) for eternity.

Just listen to that happy as gently caress and catchy music during the Poke Pelago segment. Why can't they let Hitomi Satō compose more main game music like she did in gen IV instead of random mini games and then the pop idol song in ORAS.

When the Pokémon Global Link is updated for Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon, a new feature will be available—QR Rental Teams. Players will be able to publicly share their own teams and to use Battle Teams designed by other players. Public Battle Teams can be used by scanning in their QR Code patterns from the Pokémon Global Link. You can take part in Link Battles and certain Rating Battles using a Battle Team you’ve rented. You may even be able to try battling using the Pokémon of expert players, like the victors of the World Championships!

Also they're doing a time limit thing too? You only get 10 minutes of time to make your moves over the course of the entire match. I don't know how long these things take normally in cartridge play but that seems kind of short if you're doing a full battle

He really, really is. Also the bit about being a birdbrain and freaking out when he makes mistakes and just making everything worse is so relatable. I'm so excited to see the stage 3 evolution. :swoon:

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. :(

Pikachu loving sucks though so who cares. Poliwhirl should have been the mascot.

I still have hope for Fire/Dark, Grass/Flying, Water/Fairy.

Yeah



Leaked months ago. Showed a character before she was revealed and the mid-stages just released definitely have some design similarity.

So the starter leaks are basically confirmed and Ash-Greninja is now an official thing that still has the name? And it's from a unique ability, so nobody else gets it?

Huh. Well, screw the frog, but everything else is looking great. Especially the activities for your PC mons so they don't just spend their lives in a digital limbo.
