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

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.
(Never mind that changes to typing and type effectiveness are much bigger incongruities than freaking Eviolite could ever be.)
I 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.
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
I'd love a dark Type Ledyba evolution where it's spots count down to it's enemies demise.
Sounds about right, I think so as well. I will even say 10 or some Galar Forms and 10-15 Gigantomax forms.
Yeah i am betting on a new trailer. The Eeveeoultion rumour is a whole different story though
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.
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.
Iirc they don't even print new Kadabra cards in the TGC, Abra just has some way to evolve straight to Alakazam.
Can't see them touching that particular family.
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.
I kind of want starter evo leaks, but also don't. The concept art leak was fun to argue about.
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
Gen 1:
Galaran Weezing: Poison/Fairy
Galaran Ponyta: Fire/Fairy
Galaran Farfetch'd: Flying/Fighting (Gets an Evoultion)

I like the idea but cannot agree with the second typings you have chosen.
Feraligatr should have been Water/Dark in gen 2 and if it ever got a different form it should be Water/Dark.
Meganium was correct at being pure Grass Type in gen 2 but should've been retyped at gen 6 launch to Grass/Fairy and that should be the new form typing.
Typlosion should've been Fire/Ground at the launch of gen 2 and not pure Fire and if he got another form I hope it gets to be Fire/Ground.
Cofagrigus should always have been Ghost/Dark considering what it is and what's inside of it. For a long time I always thought it was Ghost/Dark just by looking at it.
Mantine makes sense as Water/Psychic. No real reason.
Maybe evolve into a different line entirely?
Like Abra -> Hadabra -> Hocuspocus
Swap out the spoons for something else magician-inspired (cards, maybe?) and play with the design in other ways.
I just really wanna roleplay Devil Summoner in a Pokemon game, honestly.
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.
Alolan forms had a couple that ditched the original typing all together (Vulpix, Marowak, Sandshrew), so there will probably be a couple Galar forms that do the same.
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
*6th. It was cool then, but doesn't need to happen again.
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.
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.
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.
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.
(And Water/Steel is an amazing typing)
I am starting to lean towards that Klang being an Galaran Form considering it's alternate design
They already showed 3 so I'm hoping for more then 15. Galarian forms brings in a different kind of excitement from newer Pokémon reveals especially now since we're getting new evolutions for past Pokémon threw the regional forms.
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 well
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
There was 18 Alolan Forms so around that number makes sense.
Also made a poll for Klink

Nice catch. That definitely seems like a new Klink and it certainly fits well within the game thematic.
The fact it is also on Team Logo's outfits makes me think it's going to be one of their signature Pokemon and be Steel/Dark
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.
It definitely feels like the most exciting and broadly appealing application of the alternate form design. It feels long awaited, too.
I strongly disagree. I miss the rivals that talked shit and needs to learn the hard way. I replayed Silver recently and it was nice seeing a asshole not get it after each loss he experienced and doing his best to figure it out.
Nope
The main argument i've heard against Galaran Klink is Slurpuff made a cameo in Sun/Moon but wasn't it the game so the same could apply to Klink
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 environment
