I'm glad they aren't going for a legends Unova cause I think the Internet would have a collective meltdown over the supposed treatment of the indigenous Unovans. I think Gamefreak knows it too.

this is why you do my idea of 1910-20's style unova and the main villain is the pokemafia

Personally I'm excited by Kalos forms and maybe not having to battle to capture once again

There probably will be but I also liked having that few fights. Felt refreshing and also battles are my least favorite part of the game

Especially for battling yes.

Filling out the dex is the best part of the game imo and the additional goals in pla added a ton of game time for me.

I was super disappointed when sv didn't have any of that

I liked legends arceus because I always liked catching pokemon and filling out the pokedex more than battling them

Big same. I honestly don't really like battling much at all so being able to only have to do it a few times ruled

It also proves that Poke Pelago was the best mechanic because then nothing is rotting in boxes, they're having a vacation at an island resort with the occasional mining and farming you could force on them.

It was great. Give me that poo poo back.

E: also if we're using ash as rationalization we can't forget that he caught like 30 Tauros, sent them to oak, and visited them like twice in 20 years.

arceus definately could have been better but I was disappointed when in SV it went back to having to battle everything you wanted to catch and you couldn't just chuck pokeballs around willy nilly

The battle system being stripped down doesn't matter if you never have to battle. (But also I liked it way more than the normal system when I was forced to engage)

The checklists added at least a hundred hours of playtime for me that I wouldn't have on any other game in the series

I want there to be checklists, but not necessarily stuff like "Catch 50 Pikachu's", but rather things like observing wild behaviors, feeding them to see what they like and all that stuff. Give us more ways to interact with Pokemon than just battle. I loved LA because it actually tried new gameplay ideas, so I hope they do that again.

this would be good. put some snap in the game without making it be an on-rails thing

it's good. it's just the on-rails nature doesn't quite do it for me, and to my autism brain capturing photos isn't the same as capturing in a ball so i don't get the same chemical hit.

a game of rock-paper-scissors rocket tag that forced you to use type-advantages to win and an occasional signature move.

this is how i approach every battle in other mainline games though, so all that was really different for me when i was forced to fight was the ffx style turn order bar that i liked a lot

It is, but it loses it's new car smell after the first dozen and when all the game is just throwing balls at guys as you run buy (Or occasionally throwing out a rock at a guy that's too mad to catch) it's a lot more boring than having fun fights now and then.

I literally never got bored with it through like a hundred hours of playing

They usually include both Legendaries in these situations yeah (also they’ve been mentioned during the ED rap as well)

Those two will likely appear in some capacity (maybe Arven’s parents as well) but I’m not sure about the DLC stuff (last game I believe the Gen 8 manga covered both but I don’t think Journeys ever did)

Journeys went to both dlc locations but didn't engage with the stories from there

Thanks to npcs having no EV’s, npcs not evolving their Pokémon even at the end of the game, and the fact that you are often over leveled even if you try not to be, you’ll be out speeding 90% of trainers even with slow Pokémon.
