Pokemon Scarlet and Violet

[pinetree]

New gimmick?

[SirGauoftheSquareTable]

I hope there's a regional Tauros form since this is Spain.

It should look exactly like a Spanish fighting bull and be part Dark-type.

One last thought is that I will forever cling to the copium of having voice acting in a mainline Pokémon game.

C'mon, GameFreak. You know you want to...

Kamado should have been voiced by Chris Sabat.

New gimmick?

Giant Windmills - check.
Don Quaxly - check.
PokéSpain - check.

Is it finally time for Armour Digivolution?

[Nanashi(kari)]

Thank god they didn't use the international colors for the japanese logo again.

Too bad they're one gen behind on being Giant Pokemon. Imagine running around PokeSpain and using Windmills to summon Gigantomax raids.

[Reign]

God I hope Dynamax stays gone forever

bring back Megas though

[pinetree]

Same.

And make Centiskorch's Giganta into a Mega, he deserves it.

[Irrelevant Passerby]

I'm indifferent on dynamaxing as a mechanic, except for the adventure raids that the Crown Tundra DLC introduced. Those were actually really fun, and it would be cool if they were brought forward in some form.

[SirGauoftheSquareTable]

I'm actually fine with Dynamaxing and think it had more strategic depth than Megas or Z-Moves. I think all 3 could coexist.

[Deathhappens]

I will say that 2022 definitely feels like too fast of a turnaround in my opinion since we only just got PL:A.

Speaking of, the fact that we're back to Dual Versions again is disappointing but not unexpected.

People are convinced this is PokéSpain but I have no clue, nor do I have much of an positive or negative impression yet.

Update!

I like the cat, but I'll reserve my opinions until their later versions are revealed.

Fire dino-croc thing is just plain odd-looking, though.

- - - Updated - - -

Same. Legends' catching system was one of the better parts of the game. Still, the catch rates should likely be lowered just because we're back in present-day, with Wild Pokemon more used to trainers trying to catch them.

- - - Updated - - -


Agreed on this front, and actually, I like the PC's design. I just hope they are fully customizable, or at least majorly so. I need to change their skin color, dammit.

- - - Updated - - -


It's totally possible to keep them despite the open world.

- - - Updated - - -

Still, I would like a departure from the competitive league format. Maybe the Spanish region has political reasons for not joining the league?

>political reasons
>Pokemon
lol

IF they decide not to do a Gym circuit for whatever reasons they'll just put it down to culture/traditions just like they did Alola and Galar. I hope they don't, though, it's already been two generations of mainline games with GF trying and failing to reinvent the wheel. Gyms worked just fine in gens 1 through 6, bring them back.

thirded.

They already did in Galar? Gyms aren't going anywhere with Ohmori directing.
It's still going to be terrible anyway as long as they refuse to add a modicum of challenge.

[SirGauoftheSquareTable]

Yeah. Gyms need to be more interesting to say the least.

Galar had a League circuit, and one up to 11 at that. Alola's Island Challenge was a refreshing change of pace that made the region more unique and less cookie cutter.

Also, cultural is political.

[DelRey]

as always, for some everything is political

I think it could very well be that the trainers have a more central role in arena fights because it is spain with the Torero tradition.
Arceus could have been a testrun for this.

Weren't Galar gyms just a single "boss battle" with <4 Pokemon each? I mean a real gym, with trainers and puzzles inside.

Fine, I'll bite: How?

[Skull]

All I know is, stick a fork in the Chinese Zodiac theory, it's done.

[Deathhappens]

I mean, that would depend on their final evos, wouldn't it?

[Skull]

Why would it?

[Comun]

Because Fuecoco can still lose its legs.

Nope, they're regular gyms.

[Comun]

Galar had real puzzles is 4 out of 8 Gyms.
