Not only are their a bajillion cool dins still left to base pokemon on, but most fossil mons aren't even dinosaurs. We've got ancient giant turtles, trilobites, cambrian explosion horrors, etc. We've got even more if you consider the Ancient Power evos.

These are the same people who didn't put the Sun rock and Moon rock Pokemon in the games named Sun and Moon, and then had a bunch of version exclusive legendaries in the follow up games but somehow didn't make the Crescent Moon Pokemon one of them

I guess some Pokemon don't fit while others fit in too well. Its like Bellossom, Solrock and Lunatone not being in Sun and Moon. They probably did it to subvert expectations. Or there were already too many dog Pokemon already in Stoutland's case.

My favorite is when it isn't actually Loss, but the image is surreal enough looking that you still spend several minutes staring at it trying to figure out if it is or not.

You could literally make an entire Pokemon game based on cool dinosaur/prehistoric reptile and mammal ideas that haven’t been mined for fossil gimmicks yet. You could even use basal mammals for your starter rats and stuff to spice things up. Like goddamn that “out of cool dinosaurs” opinion is so wrong it’s funny

Countblanc posted:

No there was one before the loss joke that seemed plausible, which is how we knew all the starters but zard and all the legendaries were :rip: . The final leak has even less than that.

The only things making me BM still are that some of the individual choices are absolutely baffling (no deerling, fine, but how do you decide no Snubbull is a good idea for Pokemon Britain?) and I suspect at this point that I will never not be mad over Beedrill and Mawile getting their megas, and thus their relevance, thrown in the trash. :mad:

I will admit a lot of my Dexit ranting is because two out of my top three favorites, Sawsbuck and Venusaur, got binned. This will be the first generation without Venusaur in at least my post game team; I even bought a Gameshark to hack it into Ruby, no Pokedex number and all.

I kind of expected Sawsbuck to go, as it’s kind of lovely in battle, obscure, not from a super popular generation, etc. but not having a Kanto starter is sacrilege.

As someone with a shiny mawile I loved using, this is the most disappointing of all. I'm kinda baffled they consider the pokemon worth bringing back, but not worth actually doing anything to make up for the lost mega, unless they raised its base stats or something (im not getting my hopes up ).

It's just the novelty of a pokemon called Mr. Rime being female.

Speaking of which, any idea what their name is in Japanese?

Mr. Rime is both a clever and surprisingly metal name for a Mr. Mime evolution and I’m so sad that it has to be wasted on that abortion of recycled Mario enemy parts.

Impossible. We've gotten its existence from people playing leaked copies, so we have no way to know what it is called in Japanese since we haven't had leaks from there. We won't know what Mr. Rime is in Japanese until the game actually comes out.

I would respect Gamefreak if they went all out and made Mr. Rime a creepy ice golem clown zombie, just accept that Mr. Mime is unappealing at best and creepy at worst and roll with it instead of trying to make people want to capture and battle with anime Monopoly guy

This plus the glaring lack of Fire types in the dex makes it really feel like Sinnoh 2.0.

There are 11 different fire type families, counting Flareon. That's honestly plenty for variety, way more than Sinnoh for sure.

I think all (or most) of us are fine with the cuts and at least accepting of having a fun new adventure. I'm more worried personally about setting a precedent to have carte blanche to invent Pokemon, features, or formes and never include them again. Similar to what we have with Megas, but Galar branching forms and Alolan forms are cool and it would be a shame if they get relegated to history by the ever-evolving Dexit for each new game. Enough to where a developer could say "Oh, Huntail? That's an awful one, never include it again".
