I kinda hope the plot editions are mostly post-game stuff because I don't know if there's really anything in the main story that needs expanding. Maybe give Mina a real trial or something but I don't know what else.

You could add some Tapu stuff I guess. Gice some screentime to the non-Koko ones.

Maybe add a weird subplot where an obsessive is hunting one down and continually frustrated that you keep meeting it while he misses it. :v:

Or expand the UB dimension like Platinum gave us the Distortion world? Make it like an actual dungeon/area instead of a hallway with a cutscene.

There's obviously going to be something where Necrozma has to be separated from Lunala/Solgaleo.

I also hope those construction sites were gyms that exist in the alternate world.

Trading for literally anything you want is trivial in this game. There's no need to have everything on one cart besides placating a small subset of children who refuse to accept the core concept of a 20+ year old series.

No, but there will be Ultra Horde battles where you get jumped by 1000 Yungoos at the same time.

Note: you will burn out your 3ds every time this happens, so please save regularly.

X/Y had 450 and that dex was honestly kinda poo poo in practice since a huuge chunk of dudes were already evolved, and, like, raising a Pokémon from its first stage is half the fun. Also, breeding to get more pokes to fill your dex is pretty bad too. Sun/Moon had like 260 excluding postgame stuff and it felt like a nice collection.

Hopefully they show the game off on the treehouse because 20 seconds of footage isn't enough.

Double hopefully there will be more Alola forms of Pokemon.

The legendaries can be kind of hard. My livingdex is still incomplete entirely because I lack legendaries (Lunala, either Cosmog or Cosmoem, either Type: Null or Silvally). I hope Ultra Sun/Moon lets me fill those spots so my livingdex can be 100% complete.

I'm not sure how anything could be clear from the few seconds of "trailer" we got beyond Mimikyu having a new Z-Move and Nebby having new forms.

Also I hope the exact opposite. The game wastes the Ultra Beasts subplot with only Nihilego having a role and even there not a great one. While I loved the Looker postgame (as I often do), I really hope that they properly utilize what they have this time. Sun and Moon had a great storyline by Pokemon standards but it also had some very clear missed opportunities.

The Fallers are from the no-Mega universe, that's why whatever her name is had the original Frontier Brain theme​ even though it was already remixed for ORAS. And don't forget the Looker in ORAS is clearly a Faller, but our world's Looker is absolutely fine in SuMo.

I am all for this series that barely has a plot outside a variation on the same "become the champ, catch the cover, stop the evil team" developing a ridiculous multi generational lore.

I doubt that they'll directly explain any of it in the games. Hopefully it'll just be a weird thing that keeps coming up in minor ways.

There's not really much multi-generational lore outside of like Looker's mysterious past which owns a lot.

There's mega evolution and this new universe where it's always been a thing as a whole, there's O powers and Mr. Bonding that has come up more than once. There's what ever the hell they were doing with Project Azoth or Azul or whatever.

There are definitely some things.

The fact that mega universe exists as a seperate universe is about as much of a thing as the gen ii remakes having a safari zone and battle frontier in Johto, and if O powers are a thing with lore then i've completely missed all of it.

Also I have no idea what Project Azuth is. Is that a thing?

E: Like the games themselves have more complicated stories now but I don't think there's any real plot or lore that crosses generations. Outside of a few returning characters.

If you bring the weird dude in the desert a Solrock or Lunatone in Sun or Moon respectively you find out that Mr. Bonding and his associates were aliens from space.

Despite all the crazy theories people have been throwing around Project Azoth is just what Team Aqua/Magma called their operation to awaken Kyogre/Groudon.

Yeah most stuff is just recurring characters. You obviously have things like Blue/Red in G/S and now SuMo, Looker's postgame subplots, the Team Rocket plot, Caitlyn being in the battle Frontier in Plat then E4 in Gen V, gym leaders and champions popping up in different regions etc.

There's no overarching metaplot elements beyond the recent postgame stuff about people falling out of the non-mega universe into the mega universe and thats pretty lowkey. Like its pretty clear gens 1-5 and 6-7 take place in parallel universes with mostly the same people. They just haven't done a ton with that yet beyond play with having two Lookers running around and Zinya.

I'm not clamoring for them or anything, but its been a long time since we had a game set in Kanto. I'd prefer a sequel more than a remake though, with an expanded dex.

Yeah, I'd love to see a sequel/re-imagining of Kanto. Familiar locations, but a lot of differences. Maybe some event changed the region, they expanded it north, or cities are more built up. Or a combination of Johto and Kanto. where the mountain region between the two got wrecked a pokemon or the regions decided to come together and build there?

But yeah, if they ever revisit old regions, expanded dex/selection pre-e3 is an absolute must. Even if they ever do a D/P/Pt remake, I really hope they expand pokemon selection beyond that gen rather then leaving it all to a late game/stupid mechanic thing.
