I still can't get over the Scarlet bike pokemon running. Why give it big wheel things if they do nothing?

I literally think I have to pick Violet otherwise that will drive me crazy the whole time.

It's mostly more/extended footage of stuff we've seen already. Might be a few reveals peppered in there that I didn't pick up on

There's some footage of the megaman/robot-esque mons whose name I forget. Some footage of raid battle (I think) against a Drakloak. Footage of the ride legendary flying out of (?) the volcano in the middle of the region. Footage of new and returning mons

Special raids will be starting in December. They're 7-star raids you need to beat something in the post-game to get into (or link up with someone who has) and you can catch the event pokemon once, but keep doing the raid for other rewards. The first event 'mon is a Charizard with a Dragon Teralize. Charizard is not catchable in SV outside of this.

"This special Charizard can be caught only once per save data." is an interesting bit. I wonder if they'll finally start doing event distribution, maybe even mythical distribution, this way?

This makes more sense than the legendary raids they occasionally did in sword/shield where it was like "well, we wanted to have a raid event featuring Mewtwo, but we don't want everyone to catch dozens of Mewtwos, so you just have to do it for the rewards". Letting everyone catch it once means it can be another means of doing events. Of course they'll still do mystery gifts and in-store distributions and that kind of annoying stuff because they always do

I don't like "limited time endgame stuff" a month after the game drops. I know these aren't exactly long games but don't rush me! Holidays are coming up and I'm busy. Hopefully linking up with someone else who in post game will be easy.

Charizard won't be catchable or the whole Charmander line won't be catchable

also yeah locking it off behind postgame so soon is corny. I'll almost certainly be done by then but only cause 80% of my facility takes Thanksgiving week off and I'll be able to play switch for 6 hours a day, I can't imagine everyone is so lucky

It adds the starter evos, which is why we haven't seen anything about them from official sources

That let's go case is actualy pretty cute. I'll end up using that.

Also cave Donphan proving that the past pokemon were the correct choice compared to LED faced everything :colbert:

…I suppose regular Donphan functioned as a modern rubber wheel. Am I to believe that that ancient Donphan is supposed to be a stone wheel? Is it more wheel than elephant, evolving with the wheels? And what of Phanpy? There’s no wheel in that thing at all. Gamefreak explain.

like, is it a regional form, where Phanapy evolves into it depending on the game or particular conditions?

Or is it one of those weird form things where you take rub donpham up against the time rock and they become past donpham

We.dont know but according to thenleak that aid these were a thing months ago No you just catch the past or future version in a time hole


They don't evolve either. So paradox jigglypuff is a standalone thing that doesn't evolve.

Neither

I haven't seen most of the leaks, but my understanding is that they are treated like separate Pokémon entirely. None of them evolve and they all have their own ability, kind of like Ultra Beasts

New preview for clothing customization. Looks like previewers who said there'd be non-uniform clothes were mistaken cause I can't see them listing pants under a shirt symbol. So it's probably the uniform icon.
