Alright that's it. I'm convinced the Alolans are playing a prank on me. Like how Amazonian and Pacific tribes make up fake traditions and stuff so they can laugh at the Anthropologists for believing them. Hala was all "Watch this Kukui, I'm going to convince this dumb tourist to wear this ridiculous outfit while riding a Tauros." And the Professor is all "No man tell him he has to do this ridiculous Ginyu Force routine to use a Z-Move, It'll be hilarious."

The game would be 1000% better if this was actually the case.

Just wait until you get the Ground, Dark, and Fairy chaos emeralds Z-Stones.

Honestly though, I think the protective gear is cute. But I very much wish it was customizable. Or at least replaceable with the sick outfit for the final ride-mon.

I'm going to be that guy in regards to this: you have to remember this is, at its core, a game for kids. Teaching kids to wear proper safety gear is, to me anyway, no joke.

There should be some Mewtwo Strikes Back news within the hour. It's a segment on a children's TV show not dedicated to pokemon.

Looks that way.

Apparently Armored Mewtwo might be coming to Pokemon Go, and with rumors of Pokemon Armor in Sword/Shield, I guess this is their way of tying everything together?

yeah but Kukui has an excuse, he was probably pressured to assimilate a bit cause of his Unovan wife. I guess Hau's learning from his example and got his sights set on some big city trim

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

While I'm sure it will be family friendly, I still have no idea who exactly detective Pikachu is aimed at.

"Family film people without kids will go see" is pretty much the holy grail of cinema from a financial point of view. You basically hit every single demographic from 8-40 if you can achieve it, and the new formula is "update an IP from when the 20-35 demographic were kids". Hence Detective Pikachu, the terrible Sonic film, Dora the Explorer, Wreck-It Ralph and probably a billion others now coming down the pipe. Frozen 2 doesn't fit the formula but you can see from the trailer it's also trying to convince people outside the parent/child demographic to come see it.

If the formula keeps working, in 2039 the big film of the year will be a remake of A Dog Day Afternoon but with the cast of Paw Patrol. And maybe a remake of Jaws, but the bought the rights to Baby Shark and decided to call it that instead.

But also:
