Until the Wooloo/Corvipage thing is addressed I'm on team bullshit.

Also the fact that they can't give the names of the middle starter evolutions but they can remember the names of some specific mons but not others is mad suspicious. In general it's a lot of information to just conveniently remember about both versions of the game while also being incapable of taking pictures.

They said they had notes so it’s possible they wrote down what they considered was important.

But yeah I’m very skeptical for now.

Right now i'm thinking plausible but easily faked. Like a BS list of info, but presented via AMA so it doesn't look BS. Maybe a sprinkle of truth in the early pokemon's names, like they are/know/work with someone who got to play the game and were told about those early pokemon that are under NDA in the preview coverage.

Guess we'll find out whenever someone shows the


Dragon gym in BW2 is perfect. The dragon statue stuff is so much cooler now that it's you 'controlling' a huge dragon to fight another huge dragon, you can do 3/5 fights if you want, but all five are cool. Starts with a guy with 1 dragon, then you can fight trainers with 2 dragons, each focusing on attack or defense, finally the last two battles are rotation or triple. God, i'm so happy with how much rotation and triple battle is present in the game. Had a blast fighting all of them, and then Drayden. This is the best. Gave my Lucario Dragon Pulse for this, but it couldn't knock out all pokemon on the way, fainted during the rotation battle even, and with Drayden i had to fight smart due to Flygon wrecking Lucario and Altaria knowing Fire Blast. Still a win, but man, that was fun and exciting.

Going to the Pokemon Centre in London tomorrow.

Man, I think I'm more into Pokemon than I thought. I remember making fun of the Detective Pikachu trailer and it's hideous creatures for months leading up to the movie, and then a couple weeks before it came out... I was excited, for some reason? A reason I literally coudln't identify! The same has happened with Sword and Shield. I've been so on the fence and now I'm eagerly awaiting them.

Is Gen 4 the only Gen where the starter triangle was disrupted by the typing of their final evolutions? (Empoleon no longer being weak to grass due to steel typing)

If it weren't for that I'd say the leak is fake due to Grookey's apparent Grass/Rock typing

Theres so many steel types now. I now that steels the strongest type now that they nerfed dragon but come on.

Starter triangle's not important once you get to final evos. The whole point of it is to be Nintendo nudging the literal children playing this that they should maybe consider catching pokemon other than their starter and having different types. If you haven't figured that out by level 36 you're never going to.

Of course that didn't stop me from brute-forcing my way through the Elite 4 with a super-leveled Feraligatr and in Hoenn Blaziken and a poo poo-ton of healing items :v: Nothing can truly stop a dumb kid from being dumb.

I listened to Nintendo Life's impression of the first 90 minutes of the game it's pretty encouraging to hear that it's nowhere near as hand-holdy as the last gen was.

I still think it's pretty significant that over 7 gens, that's only been disrupted once. The whole game is for kids, not just the beginning.

If years of watching cartoons have taught me anything, is that Steel should be weak to Lightning.

Ultra Beasts are mythical in that they will not show up ever again until the Sun/Moon remakes, and will only be talked in hushed tones officially.
For similar reasons, Delcatty and Purugly are now also mythicals.

I watched the whole thing live. It took the lady about an hour to beat that monster but the fight kept relocating around in the map, so I thought the point of the game is that you're the village's town defense and creatures just pop up occasionally. Of course nobody could figure out how the battle system worked but it was very slow.

so what you're saying is: the real reason pokemon's gameplay hasn't majorly changed in 20 years isn't because of the inevitable fan backlash, it's because when gamefreak attempts to do something different, this happens
