I read it could be based on "pimiento del piquillo" (piquillo pepper).
Definitely not an apple.

I wonder how the Spanish translation will be this time now that the games are literally based on Spain, they're gonna have a field day with their dialogues lol
This would be the perfect time to recognize the Latin American Spanish, but I think they'll go the other route with the excuse of well, it's based on Spain 🤷🏻♂️

Pokémon is fully owned by Nintendo but marketing and distribution is done by TPC.
People still thinking about a Switch Pro or Switch 2 for BOTW 2 are just wishful thinking at this point.
Yeah if they revert most of the Legends changes I won't be getting it. Arceus was the first Pokemon i've played since Ruby/Sapphire for a reason. And i'm guessing i'm not alone.
The lighting is so much better than anything else we've seen from GF. I think it's the biggest improvement together with the overall density of the environments.
The way light reflects on the puddles here is really good, water in general looks very good:
And how the shading on the clothes here make them look very realistic:
Look at the textures here on the shorts and backpack. It's superior to anything else GF has developed.
If all I am going to lose are the styles that is fine. I just like everything else a out Arceus. Finally a Pokemon where everything doesn't take forever. It's just so quick and has a nice gameplay loop.
Since it is published by Nintendo, I am sure the lion´s share of the expenses falls on them for Switch Pokemon games. At the very same time when they are spending money on holiday Switch ads. To throw in BotW2, with Xenoblade 3 a couple of months before, would be a really clustered quarter that would have each title competing for the spotlight. Its possible but would make no sense from a business standpoint.
And stronger Switch is a successor/pro. We are in a time where the differences come down to positioning
But the Switch 2 is still very possible next year, and no one knows if BotW2 is being planned to showcase it. I mean, people told me Gen 9 wasnt ever going to happen this year lol
Honestly, it might be the only thing I want brought back from the battle system in Legends. Well, that and the Snow weather condition, I guess.
If they do bring back the catching mechanics from Arceus I hope it's more interesting. By the end of PLA it just gets so mindless to me. I caught a level 80 alpha Garchomp by walking up behind it and basically shooting it in the back. That would be so stupid in a regular RPG lol.
I'm feeling the same way.
I don't mind some of the tweaks like status conditions going away, but the turn order is the main culprit. It makes it so you can't switch out a pokemon if you've got a bad match, taking away a lot of strategy. It makes PLA harder, and that's good, but I don't see how it will work for competitive. They can add a few things to keep the main game hard like not allowing you free switches in battles and letting the pokemon gang up on you again. The game can still play quickly with the old style turn order.
I think the main reason why I'm somewhat concerned that Legends Arceus' catching mechanics won't be fully translated over to this game is that part of the reason that game worked the way it did is because it had a very lackadaisical focus on team building over task management. You were kind of expected to catch a lot of Pokémon in that game, whereas in the generational titles, each catch is sort of meant to be a rewarding moment celebrating a new induction to the team, so it makes some sense that it demanded more effort and "finesse" I suppose, compared to Arceus where every Dex entry has variations of "catch a baker's dozen of this one".
Of course that's less of a "design" issue and more of a mental issue to deal with but I can see Game Freak potentially fielding that kind of question internally while Arceus was happening. I hope I'm wrong, and if nothing else I would hope that they took all the positive quality of life changes away from that game's development in the way it offered expedience. I kind of tell myself "surely pre-release impressions from Arceus and focus testing had to show that people want this to be Pokémon's future". If nothing else the open catching should at least be an option in this game, even if elements might end up rebalanced along the way.

Jumping ahead, I hope we move away from Europe next gen and get something Africa or South/South East Asia.
Wondering how exploration will be done. Assuming that they'll keep the PLA traversal Pokémon but it would sure be nice to be able to get the ability to fly/surf early on instead of blocking them until mid to late game.
Could this be similar to what the Water Starter will turn into?:
The Blue Footed Booby
Which while not from Spain does connect to Spain as they are from Southern Amercia

This is the first time in several gens where I am actually happy with the starters. Hope the rest of the new pokemon are just as good.
Edit: Graphics still look like butt. :(

GF, I know you're listening, it's not too late to grant my wish:
Battling wild Pokémon is always single battles.
Battling trainers is always doubles.
The battle system in Gen 8 was clearly balanced for doubles, including but not limited to Dynamax. It's a great battle system! You should be proud of it. GF! Let's just make it official.

The Switch 2 isn't happening until at least 2024, & I can't see BotW2 being delayed any further than Early 2023.
Lighting and texture improvements are welcome but good god is that environ art still ugly, even when saved by the artstyle.
When they finally get around to SEAsia/Australia really hope they're on newer hardware or at least just even more experienced...

People think that every time, the last time around the final forms of the starters was leaked and no one believed it was real.
They'll grow on you
Considering how long ago the games began being made, old Pokemon fans are probably designing them at this point.
Those former Fakemon people are now in charge of real Pokemon
The grass cat is 100% going to end up bipedal. Game Freak won't be able to fucking resist.
The crocodile has a Nintendo charm to it that transcends Pokémon design per se. It could show up in Mario games or Kirby games and fit right in.
I hope if a new set of starters get some kind of regional variant this gen the mid form also changes. One thing i didnt like about the legends regional variant is how random the final evo feels for the starters.
From the description on the Website, the shape of Spains Map and what we saw Ingame I believe this will really be Pokemons BotW Moment. A fully non-linear Open-World.
I expect that you can freely choose in which Order you do the Gyms and it will scale depending how many badges you have.

I dunno if it has been said already but the architecture seen in the trailer is not boiding well for this game having more than one city.
The big city they shown uses both Barcelona and Madrid's architectural styles, and the vegetation is based on the Valencian orange orchards. So there they go the 3 major spanish cities. Then the outside houses are based, at least the interiors in andalusian houses, so Seville/Cordoba is also represented.
You can see also a part of the map of the region during the trailer were Galicia is, and is a huge swamp (probably the one in the trailer were psyduck appears).
Maybe theres some super small towns dotted around the map but something tells me this is using the arceus method and only having one big base city. (I think what appears to be names in the map are openworld regions names and not town names)
Hopefully im on the wrong here.
Also about the starter animals, seems they are based (sprigatito is 100% clear at least) im 3 spanish animals from what people are saying in the internet.
Sprigatio is a iberian lynx
:format(jpg)/f.elconfidencial.com%2Foriginal%2F8d3%2F6bb%2F357%2F8d36bb357027f929d1533909fc5984dc.jpg)
Fuecoco may be based on giant lizard of tenerife
And quaxly may be based (although this one seems the less likely) in a male red crested pochard (while is a very typical duck from spain it can also be found in other parts of the world, thats why i think this may not be based in this animal. I just think its based more in how some spanish people dress here, just like the rabbit in sword and shield looks like a football player. That of the x in the name just make his evolution line make him look like don quixote, his hair may not be a pompadour, but the first shape of what could become don quixotes hat (fun fact, he used a pissing bowl).
Probably more interesting is the shots of the real part of the trailer were so much emphasis is put in oranges and wine grapes, which i think is an indication with the titles of what we are gonna be getting with the legendaries
Those 2 shields in the last screenshot with an orange and the other with the grapes are particularly interesting.
Also im seeing a lot of comments this could be based in the iberian peninsula as a whole, but the map shown in the real part of the trailer is cutting exactly portugal out of it, so i dont think anything about portugal is in this game.

We have no idea what Nintendo is planning so nothing should be spoken like it is set. How many people spoke definitively saying that this year we were just getting Arceus expansions this holiday and that Gen 9 was a holiday 2023 title so they could have extra development time? We can logically assume that if there were a title to showcase the Switch 2, it would be BotW2 and they may impact when they intend to release it. And given that next year the Switch will be 6 in March, its possible that we may get new hardware with BotW2.
So we should just wait and see what happens
The site explicitely mentions various towns.I dunno if it has been said already but the architecture seen in the trailer is not boiding well for this game having more than one city.

I'd say it's possible that we might get one big hub city as you mentioned and smaller towns through the map, but I wouldn't be necessarily *too* worried at this moment.
The map also seemingly refers to both Spain and Portugal, so we *might* get a version of Lisbona in the game, although not necessarily on the same location as in the real world.
So do we think the box legendaries are going to be orange and grape related, respectively? Maybe the evil teams? Team Mimosa and Team Wine confirmed?
They've explicitly confirmed multiple towns/cities so it shouldn't be an issueI dunno if it has been said already but the architecture seen in the trailer is not boiding well for this game having more than one city.

Or, considering the designs of the MCs, the schools they go to?
I didn't consider that. Seems plausible to me.Or, considering the designs of the MCs, the schools they go to?
My god, this video is terrible, completely off the mark, his knowledge of spain seems to be a quick 10 minute glance on the wikipedia page. There ZERO references to south america in any part of that pokemon trailer. Also lol at the christian bit.
Too basic for modern Pokemon titles /s
Idk, names prolly make more sense when we see the legendaries
Lol at the eagle on the flag thing, if this guy knew anything about Spain he wouldnt have mentioned it.
