A golden helix streaked skyward from the Helvault. A thunderous explosion shattered the silver monolith and Avacyn emerged, free from her prison at last.

Why give us a Wooper knockoff when they could have finally righted their historic wrong and let us start with the best Pokemon, Wooper. :wooper:

Sobble looks nice a nice friend but woooooow those names are not...great. Not that Litten was particularly inspired, one generation after Litleo.

Poke-soccer means....the return of that one HGSS minigame whose name I forgot?

Game looks good tho. Will buy. Now announce Platinum remake cowards.

I must admit that I dislike Scorbunny. It is very much just a cartoon rabbit with some red spraypaint. Even the name is kind of bleh, I mean it’s literally just scorch and bunny smooshed together. Then again I had no problem with Torchic so I guess I’ll let it slide. Grookey is a little generic, but there’s nothing wrong with a classic grass starter design. Now, Sobble? THAT IS A FINE AND EXCELLENT BOY.

Anyway I never played LGPE so I won’t feel the sting of a return to random encounters. The lighting looks dope, and did you see that water? Looking at the map, it looks like the area where you get Ice pokemon will, inexplicably, once again be one of the last places you get to.

EDIT: Naaaaah you know what I take it back. Torchic works better because the sound at the end of “torch” is the same as the sound at the beginning of “chick.” Plus they at least spelled the one complete word slightly differently. “Scorbunny” just stinks.

I think the scor in scorbunny is standing for both scorch and score. It's colored like a soccer jersey. And we've already seen the protagonists wearing sports jerseys and walking into an arena.
