It's MISSEL! Or SISSLE!
I confused myself...



I can't believe they ran a 24 livestream with almost nothing happening solely to tease a new Galarian form, then almost a week later they just casually drop a trailer that doesn't give you any information on the new Galarian form and just put it all up on the website. Who is in charge of this messaging because they're terrible at it.

There's been a drought of information too. Like they're one month from dropping this game are they trying to hurt sales? Also I'm going to make an ugly prediction: They're not releasing any starter information this time around. probably as a gently caress you for Sun and Moon's leaks.

I'm kind of hoping the game leaks somehow or someone breaks street date. The game is probably 100% done at this point right, and the cartridges are just sitting in some warehouse waiting to be shipped out.

I got this for a Ratatta on GTS.


It being a psychic type works fine because its whole gimmick is that its played up to be a counter to poison-types and having it be fairy itself would serve to weaken it in that role.

I only hope that it doesn't become a psychic/fairy type because we already got Gardevoir, Mr.Mime and Tapu Lele (and I'm aware that Gardevoir is already in Sword and Shield).

Also I don't remember SM trailers giving away that much information about the game basically they showcased trials, totem pokemons, ultra beasts, team skull and the aether foundation which is a fair outline for the game. It's not like they revealed in the trailers that Lusamine BIG BAD despite her design shouting otherwise.

Good for context since this vid was 3 years ago, as an OVERVIEW trailer. I think this accidentally revealed Ilima, but it's great not getting much info, I don't feel the need to edit the OP until we get a bigger story scope.

Same. I watch the new trailers but I only read the Affleck leak once then realized I wanted to go in as blind as possible.

New movie trailers give away so much of the story these days so I've started to value limiting my exposure to stuff so I can experience it all for the first time myself. With games sometimes I'll do more research to make sure I'll enjoy it but Pokemon I am going to buy regardless so I'm fine knowing as little as possible.

Note that I don't think everyone should be like me, that's just how I feel.

I won't start the game until I know and have seen every single mon's name, design, typing, stats, abilities, evolution level/method, family history, criminal record, college major, sexual preference, and religious beliefs.

God I love this rainbow unicorn with poison healing powers that’s also my favorite type.

They finally made a Pokémon for me, specifically. All those hours of raising unicorns in Zoo Tycoon as a kid finally come to fruition.
