I really do wonder if they'll be cynical enough to do a Gen 1 remake for their new console

I'm sad, the tauros theme isn't a good song to listen for a long period of time. I miss the comfy bike themes.

the old games solved this problem by changing the music when you changed routes

They found a new Pokeball that looks like it's specifically for Ultra Beasts.

I think this actually might lend more credence to UBs being a really special mechanic and not a "general use" pokemon. like maybe those special balls are how you defeat them

Also, it seems the new use of the D-pad is exclusively to use registered Poke Rides for quick use. Probably also for key items as well, since Y is now the button to open the Poke Ride menu.

No good-guy turn for Team Skull it sounds like

quote:

So I think the reason for the design--their exaggerated gestures and whatnot is that we always think of it from more of a kid’s perspective--we want it to be comical but also easily convey that these guys are bad guys or something. So they definitely are the bad guys, they do bad things, but we also wanted to have a bit of humor in there make it easier to understand that they’re the bad guys.

No, that data was scrubbed. All pokemon's base stats and typings not in demo were replaced with Pikachu's and all non-demo move data with Pound's. Also the evolution connections were deleted.

We do know the new TM list, though we have no idea what the 3 new moves are. Also Dig lost TM status in favor of Leech Life (????) so that's a thing.



I am also annoyed Struggle Bug and Incinerate lost TM status, they were decent early game TMs that added desperately needed coverage for the tons of special fire and bug types that get gently caress all for level-up moves. Especially since they were buffed to usability literally last gen.

They were like 30BP unless gen 6 buffed them. Way too weak for when you got it from Burgh, that's for sure.

I'm getting the feeling that Ultra Beasts aren't transformed people, just extradimensional creatures that model themselves after the first thing they see. Probably some tie-in with the whole Ash Greninja thing

Embargo should be buffed to affect the whole enemy team for a certain number of turns (5) instead of just a single target that can switch out of the effect.

Ultra Beasts are Pokémon that turned themselves into people.

Transfers and the inevitable move tutor in Shining Diamond/Reflective Pearl seem to make this pretty irrelevant.
