There was a period of three months or so when BW2 came out where the consensus on Smogon was that Lando-T sucked because his speed was lower than regular form's by ten points, and so using him was unorthodox and cool

Wasn't that because Lando-I got Sheer Force and was killing poo poo left and right?

If it's Kanto again I am gonna be so pissed cause there's no place for Ice types to be in the wild, which means that Pokemon distribution will be absolute rear end.
I mean let's not kid ourselves with 807 of the lot it's gonna be hard to make an even Pokemon distributrion even in a completely new region, but with Kanto it's gonna be especially hard without some massive revamping.

"Massive revamping" = "Cerulean cave is open immediately and has ice types" or "There's a mountainy snowy area behind Bill's House" or even the SS variation of "Hey it's mount silver, there's snow on it"


there's a lot of off-the map area in Kanto that could be repurposed pretty easily, ime

Getting to the Sevii Islands was really cool when I was 10, because I had absolutely no idea that they were there and each island had its own little questline.

Unfortunately, they also had the kidnapping Hypno

They'll be completely revamped and be the six other regions in miniature, and that's where you'll catch other region's pokemon

The seventh island is the Battle Frontier/Resort equivalent

People seem to be giving these supposed leaks a lot of credit, are they from a notable leaker or something? Integrating with Pokemon Go seems kinda unlikely considering it's Niantic's baby, and on the whole it sounds like general wish fulfillment/making people on the internet mad stuff. Maybe I don't have the context of who the leaker is or where the leaks came from, but it all seems very unlikely.

On the Japanese side, there are a few known leakers that have been hinting at things but the major fansite operators know who they are and won't just take a picture posted to 4chan with google translated Japanese as proof of anything.

Just this morning, Emily Rogers (leaker with a decent track record) just comes out of the blue and says the games will have interesting naming and branding. Serebii has also apparently heard this from other sources and trusted it enough to put it up as a rumor when a picture appeared. Pokebeach also seems to have known something pretty early this morning and is writing up an article now.

I don't need a code but I wanted to chime in on the favorite town chat. Mine is Fortree City in Hoenn. I grew up in a desert so I never got to have a treehouse, but I always wanted to have one. It just seemed like such a cool thing to be able to hang out in a tree! I love trees. Foretree City is a whole city of treehouses and it owns! If I could pick one city in all of the Pokemon world to live, I would pick there. I even made my Secret Base in a tree near Fortree so I could live there in a sense.

Sevii is alright, it just doesn't have a huge amount to it, especially with FRLG's kinda boring graphics. Though them not being in HGSS was a crime, kinda.

Having all the instances of Pidgey/Rattata on RBY encounter tables past route 1 replaced with anything else would improve the game significantly. Those drat things show up unevolved way later in the game than they had any business doing.

The ridiculous number of Ratatta and Pidgey is even funnier when the first gym was Rock, a type they were completely useless against(at that level).

Here's the Pokebeach writeup of what is going on.

It apparently is all based on the Emily Rogers rumor so it could be true, it might not.
