Yo that music video was p good.

For me? It's soul.

 

[Love Machine]

For me? It's soul.

If only the games had HALF this soul!

 

[Rotollo]

Yo that music video was p good.

So in other words another non shit wild area like armor, the legendary hunt a la the post gen 6 post games and PWT: Galar edition? interesting

That animation is so good it might as well be one of the anime's OP's.

It's not really PWT unless they have EVERYONE.

 

[Rotollo]

They just couldn't adjust to galar's climate so they had to stay in their home regions

 

[Creep3r]

Cancel the crappy Ashime already and give these fuckers a go at it.

And keep this old film filter because I fucking love the way it looks.

 

[Mangy Mutt]

Anyone else get Digimon anime vibes? Damn. For real they need to throw that boring Ash kid away and give us something like this. I'd watch the shit out of it.

This little snapshot from the trailer intrigues me. Those are Lysandre's glasses, and behind the trainer is a Gyarados. In the shot right before this there was another trainer with Ghetsis' eyepiece and a Hydreigon, aka his signature mon. Why is this significant? Well, usually Lysandre's main mon is considered to be Pyroar, so why the Gyarados in this shot?

Because his was a mega.

I'm undoubtedly splitting hairs and looking way too deep into a simple nod, and they probably would've revealed the return of megas by now considering the DLC drops in less than a month, but it's something that stuck out to me is all.

Get ready for DLC pack 3 and 4: the tower of the spear and The axe-el swamp

 

[Festivus]

Slowking becomes Poison/Psychic which is kind of cool.

Lysander's main pokemon is Gyarados, as that is the one he mega evolves.

Looked into it and yeah, the Gyarados is the highest level for all his battles (in fact even for the last fight his Pyroar still doesn't have 4 moves wtf).

Genuinely wouldn't shock me if they shoehorn one last batch so they can boast about bringing all the mons back (after gouging an extra $60 out of you in total of course). Though considering they're bundling the current ones with the main game in Nov, probably not. So get hyped for Half-Assed Diamond and Bare Minimum Pearl instead!

Man, tell me about it, i played Pokemon Platinum right after Pokemon Diamond, despite i didn't even like Diamond in the first place, but, a lot of people all over the internet kept sucking Platinum's dick by saying how much of masterpiece it was, and to me, it wasn't, i had to traverse Sinnoh with two HM slaves twice. After finishing Platinum. i didn't want to play a Pokemon game for nearly a year.

I know lots of people like to rag on Unova being linear and the map bring a circle but after slogging through Gen IV it was a massive breath of fresh air not needing so many HMs to progress through the region. I am all for exploration and less linearity but Sinnoh was not fun to explore.

Not going to lie, those eyes look a bit goofy for my taste.

So did it become a Alchemist rather than a intelligent psychic then? That's the impression I get from it having an ability called "curious medicine".

Although, I do get gypsy witch vibes from it.

Edit: Also, galarian slowbro is poison psychic. That's kinda the thing between the two of them. They have different base stats, but share the same typing.

 

[CrippleThreat]

Finally, I can purchase Sword and Shield now that they're updating the game from the beta version to the final version. The bundle sale helps too!

Literally all that changes between the two is that their defensive stats swap and like, a couple moves. When you actually look at the two of them closely it's surprising just how pointless Slowking looks aside from, what, learning Nasty Plot and Power Gem? And even then Bro gets the latter now through TR. Being a lot harder to acquire certainly doesn't help either. There's also the fact that Slowking didn't get a mega while Bro did, which is its own tangent of how some counterparts both got megas but others didn't (Gardevoir/Gallade, Sharpedo/Camerupt, but Beedrill and not Butterfree, Glalie but not Froslass, ect.).

Anyway though, going off of G-Slowbro it could be inferred that unlike Bro equalizing offensive stats at the cost of defenses, King could equalize defenses while sacrificing offensive presence.

Is the defog on entering something that hits both? If so..that might be the strongest enter effect in the game.

Edit : That video was pretty cool, the moving shot going from Gym Leader to gym leader to the Champion is something I don't recall ever seeing the Anime use but is an obvious choice.

You're thinking of Haze (Defog removes hazards/terrain and lowers the opponent's evasion). And no it unfortunately only works on your ally, and therefore is useless in singles.
