I hoping for Spinarak getting a cool Galar Form
Question, do you think we will get a new Trailer/Reveal at worlds. Could be wrong on this but i think from here on out, we are going to get reveals coming in more frequently

Game Freak didn't outright replace Feebas's evolution method - a Feebas with maximum beauty transferred/traded to a game without contests will still evolve after leveling up. The Prism Scale exists in addition to the old evolution method, so there's no continuity error.A lot of people, myself included, hate this theory because it's totally illogical. The idea that Eviolite is some sacred cow that must be worked around and respected for the sake of consistency is ridiculous. Claims that Game Freak makes these decisions for the sake of consistency seems easily disproven by all the times Game Freak has made major mechanical changes that created an inconsistent Pokémon experience - including adjustments to how some Pokémon evolve, such as Feebas and Umbreon/Espeon.

The Ledyba line is the one that needs it the most. It doesn't help that they seem to put that terrible line in every region to keep reminding everyone how bad it isNo Bugs or Ghosts yet either.
Bug is my favourite type and nothing new for them so far. Maybe Ledbya line can get the Zigzagoon treatment with forms and a third evolutionI can wish
I'd love a dark Type Ledyba evolution where it's spots count down to it's enemies demise.The Ledyba line is the one that needs it the most. It doesn't help that they seem to put that terrible line in every region to keep reminding everyone how bad it is
Sounds about right, I think so as well. I will even say 10 or some Galar Forms and 10-15 Gigantomax forms.Honestly i don't expect a large Pokemon count - i am leaning towards 60-80 orginal Pokemon and 15-20 Galar Forms
Yeah i am betting on a new trailer. The Eeveeoultion rumour is a whole different story thoughI dunno. We did in Sun & Moon. That's where we saw Crabrawler, Sandygast, Palossand, and Stufful (per what I just Googled).
That's only in a couple weeks, which could explain why we saw so few reveals in this week's trailer.
I am leaning towards more Galar forms then Alolan formsSounds about right, I think so as well. I will even say 10 or some Galar Forms and 10-15 Gigantomax forms.
I'm actually betting on a higher count than Gen 6 and 7. Somewhere between 80-90 new Pokemon, 10 Cross Gen evos and 30 new regional variants, alongside the Gigantamax Forms.Honestly i don't expect a large Pokemon count - i am leaning towards 60-80 orginal Pokemon and 15-20 Galar Forms
Problem is that regional forms don't change name, and Kadabra's Japanese name is a direct reference to its inspiration, Uri Geller, who as you say is... rather litigious.Today I'm learning that one of my like top 3 favorite pokemon Kadabra is based on an illusionist who's been suing them for 20 years.
If TPC wants to wipe the slate clean and give Abra a Baphomet-inspired regional Galarian line I'll have no complaints.
They don't even do that anymore. They just release Alakazam cards that don't need to evolve from anything. The last Abra card was released in 2007.Iirc they don't even print new Kadabra cards in the TGC, Abra just has some way to evolve straight to Alakazam.
Crazy idea for Galarian forms
Totodile/Croconaw/Feraligator (Water/Fighting)
Chikorita/Bayleaf/Meganium (Grass/Dark)
Cyndaquil/Quilava/Typhlosion (Fire/Psychic)
Player picks one after second gym
Cofagrigus (Ghost/Psychic)
Mantine (Water/Steel)

Can't see them touching that particular family.
My predictions regarding Galar Forms based on speculation by the Image Leaks.
Gen 1:
Galaran Weezing: Poison/Fairy
Galaran Ponyta: Fire/Fairy
Galaran Farfetch'd: Flying/Fighting (Gets an Evoultion)
Galaran Rapidash: Fire/Fairy (Based on the Scotland's main animal symbol - the Unicorn)
Galaran Venonaut/Venomoth: Bug/Fairy (Based on Mothra)
Gen 2:
Galaran Spinarak: Ghost/Big
Galaran Aridos: Ghost/Bug (Based on Halloween Bugs)
Galaran Snubull: Fairy/Steel (Based on Winston Churchill and WW1/2 Soliders)
Galaran Granbull: Fairy/Steel
Galaran Crobat: Grass/Flying (Fruit Bat Variation of Crobat)
Gen 3:
Galaran Zigzagoone: Normal/Dark
Galaran Linoone: Normal/Dark
Gen 4: (leaning towards no Gen 4 forms because of potential Sinnoh Remakes)
??
Gen 5:
Galaran Kilink: Dark/Steel(Based on Steampunk Gears - used by Team Yell who are considered Punks)
Galaran Klang: Dark/Steel
Galaran Kilinklang: Dark/Steel
I like the idea but cannot agree with the second typings you have chosen.
*6th. It was cool then, but doesn't need to happen again.Dark/Fighting/Psychic forms a type triangle which is cool. I'll be honest, that was one of the things I enjoyed the most from 4th gen starters
The issue i have is like with Hoothoot, we have already seen Noibat,Noivern in the trailers with no Galaran Form. Mind you i could be wrong on this but i have my doubts we will see Galar Forms for Noibat or Noivern.I think that bat is more reminiscent of Noibat than any other Pokemon, and even though we are not really that far removed from Gen 6, it would make sense for some Kalos Pokemon to appear in Galar and adapt to its environment due to the closeness of the two regions realworld inspiration
So i could see them taking one or two Kalos Pokémon and giving them Galar forms
Noibat, based on that image. I could see Aegislash and Pyroar as well.
Dark/Fighting/Psychic forms a type triangle which is cool. I'll be honest, that was one of the things I enjoyed the most from 4th gen starters
Say whaaat?Marnie's theme is great
I'm happy that "cool" rival themes are back after several gens of wacky happy music for Barry, Cheren/Bianca, and the XY Friends
Ah that's right. I keep forgetting what Pokemon we've seen already seen lol.The issue i have is like with Hoothoot, we have already seen Noibat,Noivern in the trailers with no Galaran Form. Mind you i could be wrong on this but i have my doubts we will see Galar Forms for Noibat or Noivern.
That's very true, though it's kinda werid - Fruit Bat aren't in the UK (we do have bats - just not Fruit bats) which kinda makes more sense for it to be a new Pokemon rather then a Galaran Form.Ah that's right. I keep forgetting what Pokemon we've seen already seen lol.
Zubat line would make sense then. I guess it could be Woobat...but I doubt they'd use him. They gave Zigzagoon a new form though so who knows.
Could also just be a new bat Pokémon.
Empoleon learns icebeam, 4x to Torterra, it's bulkier than Infernape so it can Water Move kill him or Water Move + Aqua Jet (if Focus Sash), Torterra could kill both with ground moves and Infernape can kill Torterra with fire moves and Empoleon with fighting moves, they are ALL well done starters.4th gen's triangle was "Empoleon doesn't resist anything from the other two starters"
I think there were around 15 - 20 Alolan forms? That's a reasonable guess for sure.
I think it would take a lot of work to redesign Zubat or Woobat lines into a Fruit Bat looking Pokémon, so I am leaning towards a new POkemon as wellThat's very true, though it's kinda werid - Fruit Bat aren't in the UK (we do have bats - just not Fruit bats) which kinda makes more sense for it to be a new Pokemon rather then a Galaran Form.
Oh good catch, definitely looks like itI am starting to lean towards that Klang being an Galaran Form considering it's alternate design
Hopefully the galarian form evolves into something interestingI am starting to lean towards that Klang being an Galaran Form considering it's alternate design

I didn't dislike regional variants or anything but giving them branch evolutions makes them MUCH more exciting to me
Oh boy, Bede's not giving me good 1st impressions. Hopefully it won't stay that way. I want to have fun, not have my Charizard use Flamethrower on someone. And assholes like Silver are complete killjoys.
Nope
Not any of the new ones yet. The Hydreigon and Kommo-o lines are exclusive to Sword, and the Tyranitar and Goodra lines are exclusive to Shield.
Definitely seems like a natural progression from regional variants, and it makes sense that pokemon would evolve an look differently based on their environmentI didn't dislike regional variants or anything but giving them branch evolutions makes them MUCH more exciting to me
