my thing about fighting is that it isn’t a type all the Pokémon fight it’s their reason for existence. normal is at least a type cause there’s normal rear end animals even in the real world (cat, dog, for instance) and all the other types have a niche. change fighting to martial if you must

In Japanese it's Martial already, it's a translation issue (like Dark being Evil in japanese)

If gyms don’t scale to your current level I hope the game at least gives you some suggestion of where the best place to go first is then

Also I missed the trailer so what’s the new battle gimmick this time?

Website basically confirms no level scaling on gyms otherwise there wouldn't be a "stronger" one to seek out.

No character customization is a pretty damning negative for me. Not really impressed with anything else they showed either, crystal Pokemon seem very lazy to me

Get high and think of me.


My scattered thoughts on the presentation:

-All of the new Pokémon look cool. Fidough is my baby and I love them.
-Pooper lol
-I didn't like the look of the new legendaries at first, but now that I know they turn into living Tron bikes I'm totally on board.
-Real-time multiplayer sounds like it could be fun. I love games where you get to explore with friends.
-The terra crystal stuff looks really ugly. Gonna try to make as little use of that as possible.

I think the game looks good overall! I don't remember the last time a new mainline Pokémon game looked this promising ahead of launch.

They showed off a few different outfits in the trailer but they also confirmed it's gonna be school uniforms all the way, enjoy trying to make you character not look like a preschooler lol.

Tbh even it being Martial in Japanese is kinda the same thing because most pure Fighting types are martial arts/training guys like Machop/Timburr/Mienfoo but most of the hybrids are just “this thing has superhuman strength” like Heracross/Bewear/Poliwrath or maybe they’re just Fighting because they’re warriors of justice like the Gen 5 musketeers.

Okay there is some customization then, but not nearly to the extent that there was in past games. I don't want to look like a schoolkid

Medals only weigh one down.

Something tells me that, since there were hundreds of clothing options in SWSH and PLA, they are not doing away with that. The REAL issue here is that they don't seem to have brought back Let's Go's ability to dress up your pokemon :mad:

Looks like they traded clothing variety for facial features. I doubt accessories will be all that impressive.

And a lot of the leak stuff was proven wrong by that direct. Future/past versions of Pokémon? Nah bro, they made them sparkly instead.

At least one leak predicted the changing types in battle thing

It doesn't seem that the crystal gimmick requires held items, so at least it's not just a repackaged version of Mystic Water or Gems.
