ah yea, i remember how long it is to make cool pokemon on BW
Spoiler:
Wandering on internet
Terastalizing continues to look dumb and tacked on, but LOL at that Ghost Tyrannitar.
shit BL says
Once and always and nevermore.
It's pretty exciting that they made a video specifically to showcase what's new to competitive. I hope we'll have multiple different battlefields in online battles this time, though even if we don't, just being in the real world instead of some digital blue space is already an improvement.
I hope those player cards are more customizable than that. I'll really miss the ones from S&S.

Also, the legendaries having an earlier form that's already a bycicle, for some reason, makes it much easier for me to accept that design decision.
Koraidon running is still a massive mistake though.
Nah, according to the official website it seems to be the Carbink to Korai/Mirai's Diancie in that the Legendary is the special mutated one and everybody and their mother has their own bike lizard which just breed in the wild like normal Pokémon.
The fact that they don't present it as the Pre-Evolution makes me suspect it might really be just like Carbink and not evolve into the Legendaries.![]()

I like Cyclizar a lot, probably more than either of the legendaries. I could see it being another Carbink/Phione case, but they didn't reveal Cosmog's connection to the SM legends either.
As much as the type changing mid-battle is really cool I still think the visual design for it is bad.
Oh! I guess that explains why they have poke gas stops and all that, cool.
As to their connection to the legends... Hm, maybe actual time travel. Pre-historic version and technologically modified versions of him?

It's cool seeing the old Gen 1 Ghost, but yeah I hate the crystal hats.
I could see the legends being like his ancestor/descendant, yeah.
Darts targets?
The 3rd picture is straight lines tho.
But we can always accuse GF of being anti-LGBT and conclude that yes, they are darts targets.
People are saying it could be a Paldean form of Smeargle, but I see no reason why could be it considering what kind of Pokemon Smeargle is.
Spoiler:
Probably has to do with the treasure hunt, right?
To me the shadow looks like some Zarude-like thing with a big ass smeargle tail. Evolution? Though the name reeks of aye-aye so it could just be primate similarities.
New gimmick looks like shit aesthetically but it seems like it will be an interesting mechanic depending exactly how it works. I can see a lot of shit pokemon being held back by their typing but with good stats and/or movepools being useful. Especially for pokemon that are already really good like Tyranitar or Volcorona or Salamence.
And imagine the salt something like curse snorlax under TR that then turns ghost when you position a fighting type for it and leaves you cursed before it dies. I actually see this shit being hella annoying and bad for competetive if, it is as it seems, and you might be able to have any native pokemon be any type. It will make team preview a guessing game nightmare since you never know which pokemon is going to just utterly screw your predictions. And jeez, imagine how much damage some of the moves are gonna do since it looks like you might be able to have the mon hold an item. Adaptability+NormalTera+ChoiceSpecs PoryZ hyperbeam. Get btfo'd. Hopefuly they balance this lmao. I see some risk in mons that can get immuned. Overall seems interesting though.
Looks like a Sentret. It's definitely some kind of rodent, probably a squirrel?
I love these kind of reveals. The Ponyta stream was great.
I had no idea those things were named Aye-Aye. Seems like that'll be it.
