Boy, and people were mad that Ash was given a Mythical and Ultra Beast

What happens when Go starts catching the Birds, Gerbils, and World-Eaters?

So, I haven’t really followed Sw/Sh updates at all. Have they said whether bottlecapped pokes will keep their perfect IVs between gens? Will they be marked somehow?

Didn't catching all pokemon use to be Ash's goal too, or was that always just the theme song?

So is Gale of Darkness any better than/different from its predecessor or is it more or less the same as Coliseum only with a new story/more Pokémon?

The XD campaign is quite a bit longer and the Shadow mechanics are actually fleshed out. Colosseum feels like the proof of concept for XD imo.

It's better but if you didn't like Colosseum you probably still won't like Gale of Darkness.

That's just the US theme song. I believe in the JP version the only stated goal is becoming a nebulous pokemon master even at the cost of violating women's rights to privacy.

Do kids these days recognize "gotta catch 'em all" as a pokémon thing? Legitimate question.

Just the English theme song. Ash's goal was never catching every monster even back in the original series and certainly not in each regional reboot.

They retired the tagline a while ago but briefly brought it back for the Gold/Silver remakes... ten years ago!?!?

I don't think a modern kid would recognize the tagline.

Catching them all isn't even a sensible goal in the anime's world, where Pokemon not on hand are cared for by Professors instead of stored in a PC.

Unless Gou is planning on catch-and-release to register as many species as possible as caught in his Pokedex or Rotom Phone, rather than making a Living Dex.

Actually, that seems reasonably doable even in the anime (over the course of several seasons), especially if Ash agrees to temporary trades so Gou can register every Pokemon Ash keeps at Oak's ranch.

It's also a bit ironic to introduce a character wanting to catch them all with the gen where you literally can't catch them all. :haw:

Ash will catch whatever Pokemon interest him and make life-long friends (until he ditches them next generation.)

Gou will throw hundreds of Pokeballs at every Pokemon he sees without any discrimination and mulch duplicates later.

They also still stick the "gotta catch em all" logo in front of various trailers and such. Not for SwSh trailers though :v:

The whole world tour aspect would be a nice excuse to bring back some characters we haven’t seen in a while at the very least (as well as some of Ash’s previous teams come to think of it).

That would be interesting come to think of it. Might be an excuse to use more of the pokemon Ash left behind at Oak's lab.

It’s still possible they’re hiding that they’re a girl. Or maybe we’ll have our first non-binary Pokémon character(lol no we won’t this is Japan).

I tried the demo for 12 or whatever the new one is and legit couldn't deal with the accents. it made me glad that Pokemon doesn't have voiced dialogue because English accents are garbaggio top to bottom

The VA is male (also Deku from MHA and Narancia from Jojo) so 99.99% chance character is male.
