The new fake starters are soooo bad lol. The one from a few months back were so good though...Even their evolution line. I feel spoiled now because I have now high expectations for the real ones.

It'll be hilarious when Town (an eShop exclusive) has proper free camera controls, but Gen 8 doesn't.

please don't do this Game Freak

What do you guys expecting? I think this will just look graphically similar to Let's Go games but with the staple catching mechanic.
Is that enough?

Time to place some bet: Will there be a short film fluff before showing the game in this Direct? (i think so)

Sometimes these look higher budget than the games themselves lol

Yes. Chespin is adorable. Don't blame it for the shitty evolutions.

Popplio is easily the worst starter.

Top tier:
Greninja
Blaziken
Swampert
Sceptile
Feraligatr
Infernape
Decidueye

Good tier:
Empoleon
Blastoise
Charizard
Incineroar
Chesnaught
Samurott
Typhlosion

Shit tier:
Venasaur
Torterra
Delphox
Serperior
Primarina
Emboar
Meganium

All precisely in that order.

Pretty much expecting nothing but the game titles and the logos. Would love to be wrong, though.

I hope the new games feature split evolutions for older gen Pokemon again, among a good chunk of new ones, of course. Z-Moves and mega evolutions can stay in the last gen games for what it's worth.

Oh, and please, no Ultra Beasts, and no double digit amount of legendaries.

I hope Refresh/Amie returns with better integration.

Am I the only one who wants normal evolutions to return? Everyone is all about regional variants, baby forms, cute things. But I want some cool things! Feels like liking cool stuff is a dying breed. I prefer evolutions over the base forms mostly.

What about "Artificial" as a new type? Pokemon like the Porygons, Mewtu, Type:Null and Silvally ... basically artificially/human created species.

Game Freak just shot themselves in the foot.

I don't know how much the rest of you know about Pokemon (I'm an expert), but honor and shame are huge parts of it. It's not like it is in Yo-Kai Watch where you can become successful by being an asshole. If you screw someone over in Pokemon, you bring shame to yourself, and the only way to get rid of that shame is repentance.

What this means is the japanese public, after hearing about this, is not going to want to purchase Pokemon Gen VIII, nor will they purchase any of Game Freak's games. This is HUGE. You can laugh all you want, but Game Freak has alienated an entire market with this move.

Game Freak, publicly apologize and cancel Pokemon Gen VIII or you can kiss your business goodbye.

Whoops I had this set to autopost in a few hours.

OMFG how have I not seen the sleep animations before, that little shell pillow usage from Oshawott is adorable!
This is so adorable!
You have NO idea how much I hope with all my heart that this isn't a casualty.

It just feels like such a perfect natural extension of the "Pokemon as beloved pets" concept and I'm gonna be really heartbroken if it's gone from the newest games.


They are the cutest thing haha

Can we at least agree that grass starter from gen 6 is the worst one of Them all. Can't even remember his name.
