I hope that there's an Alola Pikachu, so that they're forced to acknowledge that Raichu still exists.

In Alola and all future versions, new baby baby Pokemon KaChu is first form, Pikachu is final form, Raichu is mega evolution and temporary.

They still haven't explained what Ash Greninja is supposed to be. Plus that leak mentioned that it makes an appearance somewhere in the game. It would be kind of a dick move on the anime's part to include something like that but not include it in the games. People are still reeling over things like Pink Butterfree, Crystal Onix and the GS ball.

I'm pretty sure all the previous Megas are programmed in the game as well as their respective mega stones. However, I wouldn't be surprised if they're like the gems in the Gen VI games: programmed in, but unavailable, save for a couple. Or maybe they won't be available until you've beaten the main campaign... Whatever it's supposed to be.

Personally I think it's fine, and good, that the anime gets some exclusives and isn't completely limited by the mechanics of the game.

When you transfer stuff from Pokemon bank into a new game do you get the Pokédex entries for the things they evolved from?

Wondering if I should evolve my starters or keep em small and not use them till I get to Alola. Obviously i can just gts later but I generally don't use it that much and find it kind of frustrating.

Silver Falcon posted:

No, you would only get the form they're currently in. You'd have to breed to get earlier forms. For maximum efficiency, evolve to the middle form before transferring. That way you can just breed it once and evolve it once. Bam!

I somehow forgot breeding was even a thing. So I'll basically need a male and female ditto for this, right?

Also I assume Pokemon bank doesn't count as a trade?

I don't mind trade evolutions in gts because those are always easy to find.

So people seem to be saying I can still do the Mew glitch in yellow as long as there is some trainer in the world that walks up to you from long range, and I face the correct ditto to get the right special stat.

Based on my limited experience with XY&Z yeah, they seem to only know four moves. At least Greninja always uses Double Team, Cut, Aerial Ace, Water Shuriken and nothing else, ever

i meant as far as making small children cry

In the Diancie movie my kid cried when Pikachu got turned into stone. Having only seen a very small portion of the show and being only three he had no trouble suspending his disbelief that this really was the end of Pikachu.

It's adorable too, whenever there's a gym battle, Ash wins a couple of the first matches but then the gym leader comes back and starts soloing his team with a mon, he gets super worried and says "Ok, that's as much as I wanted to watch."

I wish I could be more excited for the show but Ash is such a loving loser and I'm expecting him to lose this League eventually like he did with the last five

Ash ain't a loser. The fact that he loses sometimes makes him a more 2 dimensional protagonist than the vast majority of shounen anime. And last time he lost in the league it was because he was facing some loving legendary farmer who abused gts or something. This year he has his own pseudo legendary, all his Pokemon except Pikachu are fully evolved, he has something stronger than mega evolution, and has defeated multiple legendaries and mega evolved Pokemon.

I know it's unreasonable to expect fansubbers to change things according to my whims, but I do wish they'd just use the localized names, especially for the monsters themselves.

Also it kills me when they use honorifics where stuff like "Professor" is meant to suffice.

Also, I gotta ask: do these Pokemon Leagues have any rules at all? Magic stones that roid up your Pokemon and trainer/monster fusion seems... iffy?

Well mega stones are allowed in the game, I guess it's a little 1%ish that they'd be allowed when only an elite few probably have access. Trainer/monster fusion is brand new and no one has ever done it before in a tournament so there wouldn't be any rules against it. They aren't actually fusing, their souls are syncing up with one another. If Ash jumped in front of Pikachu to tank a hyper beam as he is often wont to do I'm sure that would be a disqualification, but he's staying in his trainer box.
