Wouldn't we already know if that would be the case, since we have the TM data?

I think they only know what moves the TMs are because they know the old move's values in the move index (or however they are stored). All the actual data for moves other than those in the demo were replaced by Pound, which is why we don't know the names/types/effects of the new moves.

Oh I just assumed that how we knew was some way to see it in-game, my bad.

In my defense I was mostly just looking for an excuse to unstick the post above mine.

Your title was so old it used HTML which isn't even allowed in titles anymore what the hell

Makes a good point about the lack of fossils this gen. Also I just got around to the demo and I feel like a monster every time i faint a rockruff :(

No bike feels a little weird. Not that I ever used the bike to travel since the Running Shoes were introduced but still.

I think Tauros is supposed to replace the bike (as well as Strength, and Mudsdale replaces Rock Climb, and Stoutland replaces the Itemfinder)

But seriously I hope at some point, even if in future games, we get the choice to use a variety of appropriate Pokemon for this stuff.

Durant isn't really big enough to ride on. You could maybe stand on one like a skateboard with good balance though.

I have to say I am digging the demo version. Everything just looks so drat slick.

One thing I will complain about is the quality of the writing. I mean, Pokémon has never been Paper Mario, doubly so since Dinsdale left. But it feels really inconsistent here. Normally, everything is perfectly readable if unremarkable. Then you have the dialog from the Team Skull Grunts which is a lot of fun. But then you got Kukui and the Team Skull girl (I forget her name), who both have verbal tics that are not translated well, particularly the former.

EDIT: I kinda want the Treehouse crew, 8-4, anyone remotely competent to kick in Gamefreak's door and show them how it is done. I don't care who shits themselves in rage.

Grunts will always have the best dialogue in Pokemon games and this will never change.

I don't have low self-esteem. I have low esteem for everyone else.
So what are the events for each day on the demo? How many are there? The first one I just got with the guy outside the Pokemon Center giving me 10 Pretty Wings (???). I know the next is this guy this woman in the bottom left corner of the main town is waiting for in 4 days but asides that I don't know anything else upcoming. I thought I saw a list of all the demo events posted somewhere on a previous page of this thread.

I wonder what GF will do about the fire starters when they get to gen 13 and realize they've run out of zodiac

e: Also I just saw the Alolan dex posted like a gajillion pages ago so sorry if someone else has mentioned it since then, but Bellossom does not seem to be there??? C'mon Game Freak, you literally had one job. The only way you can possibly make up for this is by giving Lilligant Fiery Dance.

Please?

The Grass starters were cool up through gen V (well, just OK in gen II). After that it all went downhill.

EB: it is true, it is a fact from an alien.
I'm so happy that it seems like scaling EXP gain is back. The pokemon you temporarily catch in the catching trial gain EXP even though your Greninja doesn't, and my level 31 Rockruff just gained more than my level 34 Yungoos in the same battle. (I'm bored as hell, seeing if i can level up this Rockruff for the hell of it) Sorry if that was a revelation made pages ago!

It's immune to status conditions so it has the potential to be really good even as a single stage
