Not sure why people are comparing Team Yell to National Dex people and stuff like that. Looks like the point of them is that they're annoying SUPPORTERS of someone good, not people who hate or are mad about things.

I also like how literally nobody was in here shitting on defenders but we already have people preemptively getting upset about people who dislike the game so far.

To be fair, most of us #bringbackthenationaldex folks ARE big supporters of Pokemon. Usually the most toxic people are the fans of that thing.

Why would I want to grow attached to a pokemon I might not be able to use in the future?

There's a reason I always get a Gardevoir and a Umbreon, when you get a fave you want it to stick around.
i don't understand this line of thought at all

should i not get attached to characters that may or may not appear in a sequel series/movie?

might as well not get attached to any character in a franchise ever because the series is going to end at some point

saying you can't get attached to it because it might not show up later is so weird

Not only is Galarian Weezing dapper, but is a good mon who is good for the planet.

Also the Japanese trailer confirmed that the Diglett and Purrloin lines are in.

Because your attachment can be enjoyed fully in the present rather than speculated for the future. Just like for any game.

You do what you do but I'll really never understand people feeling like that.

I wonder what other Pokemon will get regional variants this time around. It's a lot more exciting now we have 600 possibilities (assuming nothing we've seen to already be in the game has one) rather than 151.

Obstagoon is such an awful name. I like the design though. Zigzagoon always needed a better evo.

Not sold on the Pikachu clone this gen unfortunately. Not a fan of the bad guys either.

I guess im the only person who isn't feeling any of the new Pokemon at all. I needed a new eevee or the pikachu clone to not be that.

This trailer really didn't do anything for me. Just more of the same. Not a fan of regional forms. Even worse is that they are now creating entire new evolution lineages off these alternate forms, which means we will never see them in future games because they're based on forms exclusive to this region.

To be honest I was expecting a lot more information than just a 2 minute trailer, especially since they tweeted about this a few days ago.

And that 4chan leak is right on the money.

I'm sick of Rotom being in tech everywhere, I can only imagine how much of a nightmare it'll be to access the PC.

>Breeding my Pokemon harder than a rabbit overdosed on Viagra
>Go to PC for the 200th time today
>Hey! How's the adventure going? BZZZT!
>30 lines of text reminding you how to press the A button
>Move Pokemon
>Oh, time to visit your old pals, eh? Well, don't move 'em too much! I might get dizzy! BZZZZZT!
>Dump breedjects, exit PC
>Heading out? Hey, don't forget to Camp with partners now and then! I sure wish I could see the Wild! ZZZT! ZZZT!
>Finally hatch perfect mon
>Time to save
>Open rotophone
>Hey there! ZZZT! Time for a break? Don't worry, I'll be waiting right here when you get back! BZZZZZZT!

Can't say anything in the new trailer really excited me. But the prospect of other Poke'mon getting new evolutions could be cool.

Some thought this part was misinterpreted because we couldn't have both for some reason.
That's not being wrong though. That's just discussing the leak. It's like when people are concerned that Gigantamax forms might be Gen 1 exclusive (aside from new Pokémon) since the leak only provides Gen 1 examples. Based on previous precedence, it's natural to be concerned, and we'll be relieved if that's revealed to not be the case. But I guess we should be taking a loss or something? I don't know, you can have it if it makes you feel better.

One of the rumors talked about Weezing, it said 'evolution' but now we know it can still evolve so...
I really hope this is fake because I will be fucking mad if they delete Leafeon.
counting this as fake. a lot of the info here feels like piggybacking. the weezing thing was probably a lucky guess. making docked exclusives wouldn't work since GF would have known about the Switch Lite

User Warned: Antagonizing other members (accusations of shilling)
It's annoying and unfair to everyone who asks in a polite way to bring back the National Dex.

It's much easier to corporate shill if your twist any critic as toxic and annoying using a minory to portray the general sentiment.




Think of how Fox News always interviews crazy extremists to represent the progressives.

You do what you do but I'll really never understand people feeling like that.

Could you just "not understand" them instead of calling them idiots though? Not everyone who feels differently than you feels that way because they have an inferior intellect

It's an easy way to get people to like your tweets. "LOL TOXIC POKEMON FANS AM I RIGHT" It really is low hanging fruit. Like, literally nobody was in this thread mocking defenders, and people are just giving their opinions but like "XD ITS FUNNY BECAUSE THEY YELL AND UPSET PEOPLE YELL"

So is Rotomi a new Pokémon altogether, a Rotom form, Rotom evolution? or is it even a Pokémon?

Just the regional Rotom tech tool like the Rotom dex in Sun/Moon, doubt it'll be catchable.

It would be funny if Rotom weren't one of the Pokemon you could transfer over. I want my Rotom-possessed Thomas the Tank Engine.

In a game about collecting creatures yeah I tend to want those creatures to stick around.

Especially when I've been able to consistently do so until recently. This isn't a series where a story is determining what happens in he future it's a game about collecting things.

Who said anything about taking a loss ? You're taking it too seriously. I was just referring to previous discussions about the leak which got confirmed further with the new trailer. That's it.

Could you just "not understand" them instead of calling them idiots though? Not everyone who feels differently than you feels that way because they have an inferior intellect

God chill out. I made a tongue in cheek comment about brexiters who've been toxic and y'all are hanging out on that. If you've not been toxic then I wasn't talking about you. Can we move on ?

Already did, but there's no rules in the OP about rumor speculation.
I just consider not openly posting that stuff in a thread like this goes without saying given how there always seems to be a 4chan "rumor" out there that is actually an accurate leak with Pokemon stuff these days. Seems like the odds of that being a real leak are higher. Anyway, thank you for spoiler tagging.


Come on, people.... Is there not a spoiler/speculation thread that this is more appropriate for?

HAH! You must not have heard of Pachirisu, the real best pikaclone.
Emonga is a strict upgrade from Pachirisu. Pachirisu is a mere squirrel. A commoner. Emonga is a flying squirrel. Royalty.

Also can we talk about how TPC unnecessarily changed 'Emonga' to 'Emolga' in the English localization. Emonga sounds so much better.
