Personally I was thinking more like a Hippocampus: Half Horse, Half Fish. Maybe Water/Dark?If this possible third legendary does have mare somewhere in its meaning, and is related to shadows (Pokemon Eclipse 3rd version, calling it now.) I think there's a good chance we'll have some sort of new horse Pokemon. Maybe headless horseman?
Oh, you're right. Totally forgot about the water part of the name too. A hippocampus could be likely, and would certainly fit in the Pokemon world.Personally I was thinking more like a Hippocampus: Half Horse, Half Fish. Maybe Water/Dark?
Because it is not in any of the current games' code, and if Game Freak had added the ability to patch in Pokémon completely from scratch, they wouldn't have held it off until now.What evidence do we have that it won't be released until Sun and Moon come out?
Plus we wouldnt have found out about Diance, Hoopa, and Volcanion via hackers if they had the ability to add in pokemon after a generation release.Because it is not in any of the current games' code, and if Game Freak had added the ability to patch in Pokémon completely from scratch, they wouldn't have held it off until now.
I think the point they're getting at is that while it's pretty obvious it is a SM mon, it's still not something Game Freak/TPCi (I swear Karx has me on edge about which one to reference >_>) have actually gone out and clarified as an SM mon - they're advertising it as movie news, and not SM news.Because it is not in any of the current games' code, and if Game Freak had added the ability to patch in Pokémon completely from scratch, they wouldn't have held it off until now.
A bit of a late reply but I wanted to add something here.The thing is...how many people actually play these games for plot? I know that I sure don't. If you want plot in pokemon go play the cube games.
Why would they specifically reveal its typing if magearna only ever appeared in a movie?I think the point they're getting at is that while it's pretty obvious it is a SM mon, it's still not something Game Freak/TPCi (I swear Karx has me on edge about which one to reference >_>) have actually gone out and clarified as an SM mon - they're advertising it as movie news, and not SM news.

My point was is that they don't need to try with the story because people will buy it anyway. However, that being said, B/W imo had the worse story and R/S/E/OR/AS were pretty terrible too, as was B2/W2. Hell, outside the Cube games, the only stories that remotely did anything for me was gen 1's, the general story plot model at that time was new so it didn't bore me, and PL because you actually felt a threat to the world from Cyrus. Even with PL I'd only give it a 7 out of 10 with story and only a 8 out of ten for gen 1. This is compared to 2-3's I'd give all the other handheld games. Basically, why spend a bunch of effort in an area that they have historical not needed anything in to make loads of cash?A bit of a late reply but I wanted to add something here.
I do personally not play Pokemon for the plot/story, but it can be a factor of enjoyment for me. The story in a Pokemon game is not a deciding factor for me as there is so much else that can lift the game, (for example, I wasn't very fond of the story in X/Y but I still like the games on the whole as they have many other positive things that lift them). Though, if the story is bad and the games as a whole are bad and have nothing that lifts them, I'm a bit more negative to the story than I usually am (this is mainly regarding HG/SS). But if a game has a good story, that is always a plus in my eyes. I think the best stories were those in B/W, Platinum, OR/AS and B2/W2, so I would like to see Sun/Moon follow up on the same level as those. Or even higher, for that matter. For me, the story is one of the motivations to play through the main game, I feel that if the story is good, the main game is more fun and motivating to play though. Though there are of course other factors involed as well.
Then, regarding the evil teams. Unlike most others it seems, I'm not a very big fan of Team Rocket, I find them lame and boring, I think all the other teams were better than them. Then I don't really mind there being an evil team in every game, it would probably feel very strange without one. And I'm sure many fans would be very angry and upset if there were no evil team in Sun/Moon.
Edit: Forgot to say, I think Colosseum & XD had pretty good stories too.
Are you kidding?My point was is that they don't need to try with the story because people will buy it anyway.

Odd, gen 6's story killed pokemon where I lived at the time, MN. (Serious I had a club I went too of 60ish pokemon players and almost all of us quit for the time because of how bad those 5th gen games were) N was a terrible character IMO, Gnetis was a cliche already used in the series, the gym leaders were terrible with the only two that are really all the popular are because of "they are sexy". The region looked like trash, ect ect. I good write a paper on how those games were terrible and as an fyi, I quit pokemon for a bit because of that gen. Gen 6' story may have been trash but at least the characters and pokemon were loads better. The region while not being great as also loads better.Are you kidding?
BW had the best story and it was exactly why many Japanese men who were Pokemon fans during Gen 1 returned to playing Pokemon!
Gen 6 was a let down for everyone!
And I think that is a pretty good point. The Pokemon games are popular and the story is generally not the main thing regarding them so they will surely sell well even without a good story. I still appreciate it when they have good stories but they can surely still be good even without one.My point was is that they don't need to try with the story because people will buy it anyway.
This is actually one thing I like with the games because that gives you (as a player) the option to set a personailty of your own to your character (or just imagine them to be yourself) as opposed to giving them a set personality. That's not to say I like games which has a set personality for the main character (mainly games other than Pokemon), it all depends on what I am looking for at the moment.Edit: Also, just want to toss in how much effort it would take to actually make the story for the handheld games really good. The games have the avatar character being you, so in order to keep that part of the games they would have to make large amounts of personal choice in the story that actually do something. This is also why the cube games do the story part a bit better, as the "player" character's already have a little bit more personality to them, so it is easier to make a more compelling story.
It would be worth it as it would elevate the games. And now I am imagining a wonderful hybrid between Pokémon and Knights of the Old Republic.

I'd be okay with it, just doesn't seem cost effective from the Game Freak point of view. I mean, why put in more effort when you are already making bank? Trust me, I adore Gale of Darkness to the point I have played through it at least 50 times, but yeah, just don't see it happening nor do I need it to purchase the next gen. Just keep the collecting part good and the competitive battles enjoyable and I am happy. And just a thought as well, the second half isn't even on Game Freak's part, it lands more on Smogon as I hate VCG lol. So, thinking about it...that isn't even something they have to do. Maybe I am just an addict lol.It would be worth it as it would elevate the games. And now I am imagining a wonderful hybrid between Pokémon and Knights of the Old Republic. We wants the precious...
