Hmm, I feel like those are just big wild areas. Which isn't a bad thing.

Yo the website says they’re just gonna turn you loose in the region to explore without being directed by the story.

Also, all the customized characters look way better than the defaults, thank goodness.

Lechonk gets even better when you realize he's a black Iberian pig. Of course the first new thing the spanish region shows us is some delicious Iberian ham :v:

I like that it looks like the trainer battles, and even the online trade animations, all appear to be seamless with the world.

Lechonk is basically the new Wooloo, a very round normal typed farm animal that people instantly fawn over.

...Lechonk gets Aroma Veil.

I'm not really feeling the legendaries yet and I think it's because they're obviously going to turn into vehicles.

Eevee will just get the new mechanic just like how it did for two generations in a row (2.5 if you count the Partner Eevee).

Yeah just rewatched the trailer and the two professors outfits could be described as ‘past’ and ‘future’. Wasn’t there some leak that suggested the games had different ideas about past/future?

Edit: saw the post above which may be what I’m thinking of.

At this point I've kinda resigned myself to it. Gamefreak's not going to suddenly have a massive mid console glowup. Right now its mostly the gameplay I'm hinging on. If the kinks with SwSh are brushed out and we get a more complete, engaging adventure, then gently caress it. I'm back in. If not, at least we get another batch of rad designs to enjoy.

They really need to license RE engine from capcom cause that thing is black magic.

For the legendaries, Korai (古来) literally means like "ancient" or "time-honored" and Mirai (未来) literally means "future". (-don, or -odon, is a suffix used in scientific animal names meaning "tooth", as in pteranodon)

Smoliv? Lechonk? Pepper/cocoa bean/apple crocodile?

Game Freak have been designing pokemon while hungry again IMO

Real curious about smoliv being part normal, considering it's a literal plant. Maybe the evolutions will tie that together conceptually.

Fun Times! posted:

Does that NPC say, "Are you these three's trainer?"

Will they just give us the three starters?

Guessing maybe that takes place before the starter choice, and either you make your choice before the battle starts or the battle and the dialogue are part of different scenes entirely.

I wouldn’t mind if the games were just visually blah like all the 3D ones have been but this looks actively ugly. Obviously it’s just a lovely compressed YouTube video so hopefully it’s better at release.

But I doubt it

Seriously, give me the option to have my trainer be one of these hot NPCs what the gently caress?? Professor Sada?? Hello?????

Also there's a new pig pokemon literally called "Lechonk"

Feeling a lot better about the character design now. Seriously the player characters looked like garbage before but NPCs and customizable designs are looking A-ok so it's fine.

Also loving every single pokemon so far. Actually really good inspired stuff. Love a me a motorcycle dragon too.

Every new thing they reveal about the mechanics make me feel like this game is gonna be a trainwreck. I really hope they've at least iterated their online because if its even half as rough as Sword and Shield is they're gonna have a serious problem.

I was hoping they might have upgraded the infamously anemic battle animations, but Lechonk and its Tackle confirm that it's business as usual. Dang.

I wonder if these games will have our first professor heel turns. Their outfits feel so themed that they give me more Maxie and Archie vibes than Oak and Elm vibes, if you catch my drift.
