Zacian could be some other type with Steelworker, like Dhelmise.

They do add Ghost immunity and Normal STAB. And I disagree that they're boring.

Normal is a dumb type and makes no sense.

I hope Gladion cleans Ash's clock and then lets him battle Masked Royal anyway because why should Gladion care about an exhibition match? He has much more important things to do

If you got those from that one leak it was fake.

In the trailers they glow blue and red when they power up, so I could see steel/ice and steel/fire

I once had the idea of a "zeitgeist/American folk" trio of pokeymans. A ghost/normal wisp Woodie Guthrie, a normal/grass scarecrow Johnny Appleseed, and Normal/Steel robot John Henry with a bigass hammer.

But Americana Pokemon lost it's chance in Unova.

They're glowing those colors because that's what the color they're named after roughly is.

Don't get me wrong, there's room for different ideas themes, and cultures from gen to gen. But it'd be silly, imo, to add old(er) mainland american folk-based Pokemon to a game based in tropical/Hawaii and take away the vibe.

There used to be culture in America, but then Europe came and genocided it all, so it doesn't leave much to go on. We missed out on a McNugget Pokemon, I suppose.

After Crabominable I'm convinced that Pokémon won't have a yeti Pokémon that's just a regular primate-like yeti. They're going to be something even weirder.

Is the game going to be any good for one? What does pokemon home entail? How many pokemon are we getting this gen? How fast does the gameplay flow/ is there lag?

Never mind any of that poo poo look we put gold lacquer on your backpack.

You know what you're getting. Short of straight-up data mining full spoilers you know as much (if not more) about the new Pokemon than you do any game coming out. If that isn't enough then don't buy it until you're comfortable but yes, preorder bonuses exist to make people purchase games in advance to assure as many sales as possible. That is literally their point. For almost every loving game in existence. They are cheapo bonuses that usually amount to a cheap cosmetic or a couple of free items.

Unless this is your first video game then I'm not sure what to say. It's not even Pokemon's first preorder bonus: https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Pre-order_bonus
