As much as I hate the Chinese Zodiac theory...

Scarborough would have been a much better pun though. You're right.

So both logos have wolf heads. Will both cover legendaries be wolves/wolf-themed, are we going back to Gen 1 and not having cover legendaries, or are the wolf heads only on the logo and completely unrelated to the cover legendaries?



Willing to bet this is depicting the cover legendary.

So the fakes were right about a grass monkey and a fire bunny, but not the platypus.

Ok, full trailer/map analysis:

0:59 Route 1 sign, I think this is the town at the very south, with the camera crossing the bridge. There's an extra house not on the map but it's otherwise the same

1:02 Windmill, I think this is the same town as before, if you look carefully on the map there's even a tiny weathervane on the house south of the windmill

1:04 The "green" stadium, this is the center-West of the map with the yellow fields

1:06 Your house, I think this is the house at the south of the map shaped like an upside-down L

1:16 The purple house at the edge of the lake to the North-East of the starting town, the pokéball mat is visible on the map

1:17 A forest, this could be basically anywhere

1:18 The central city with the clock tower

1:19 Back to the green stadium, grass themed?

1:21 Somewhere in the ice area

1:25 I think this might be just South of the bridge to the first town?

1:32 Is this the small ice islands to the East of the grey city? Who is using a parasol here

1:41 Battle in a stadium

1:44 Appears to be the circular plaza in poké-London

1:45 A mine area, possibly in the brown rectangle to the East of the grey city

1:47 The hill figure near the green stadium. Also not all hill figures have giant dicks

1:49 Lotta books here, professor's lab?

4:48 Kalos is Greek for beauty, Galar is Irish for disease

5:15 The word "gym" is used

Visual arts?

Either way, I want to try the rabbit and monkey so bad.

I’m glad that they took one of my big complaints about Alola and fixed it by making a larger, more diverse area to play in. Tropical islands get old after a while.

If they give that monkey a stupid HA like Own Tempo I'll be disappointed.

Good question. I guess they were married to those three animals and we've already had a Fire monkey and lizard as starters so. :shrug:

Holy poo poo, I was wondering to myself whether all the "Discover [Region]!" videos the Pokemon YT channel was posting were a lead-up to a Gen 8 announcement, and I can't believe I was right.

I'm joining the grass monkey club.

I haven't seen the trailer yet, but i'm hype as gently caress. I just need to finish UM now and get all my Mon's from all my 3DS games ironed out and uploaded to the Pokmebank. Did they say that officially yet? That Switch will support the bank and we can migrate our favorite mons? This'll be the game that makes me get a Switch.

No announcement yet, but I would be shocked if Bank didn't support Gen 8.

They haven't said anything yet, but I'm pretty sure that they'll at least try. Unless the game is so massively different that it's just impossible. Either way, don't assume that your thousands of buddies in storage are safe until said so.


Anyway, what are the chances that Scorbunny doesn't become Fighting in the future? It's got the bandage on its nose and a scrappy personality, so we all know how that tends to go in anime.
