This is a paragraph in Chinese with a few characters blanked out. It is quite easy to infer the original text in conjunction with the picture: 与观测队人员走散时 - When separated from the observation team members 我感觉自己在巨坑的底部 - At the bottom of the great pit I feel myself 看到了奇特的物体 - Spotting a peculiar...

Gotta consider the original terms. In Japanese metamorphosis doesn't really work because it is glossed as either (1) henshin: a more temporary magical-girl style transformation or (2) hentai: insect metamorphosis (as well as worse stuff). As for gender and sex; they are literally the same word...

Still a bit off flavor-wise imo. Had the trio been introduced a gen later Azelf would probably get the rather more graceful Final Gambit.

Well it would be hard to imagine that the other moves are "Water Aura" or "Dragon Aura" all this time. 波導 is a very rare word* so 波動 is assumed otherwise. * As in, not even a real word in Japanese afaik. The ordinary term for waveguide is 導波器; 波導 is actually Chinese for waveguide. The writers...

These terms are not exactly the same. In the Japanese title for M08, はどう is spelled out with the kanji 波導 (meaning waveguide) instead of the usual 波動 (meaning wave/pulse). The former especially in the context of the Lucario movie is rendered as Aura in English.

An incredibly minor complaint: the internal ordering of Natures indicate that each of the five neutral natures are meant to be seen as increasing and decreasing the same stat: Hardy (+Atk, -Atk) Docile (+Def, -Def) Serious (+Spe, -Spe) Bashful (+SpA, -SpA) Quirky (+SpD, -SpD) However it bugs...

Big head syndrome in full effect here though. Fire starter has a similar body plan to Charmander, but with a head about 3x the size. :blobshrug:

Later in the trailer we catch a glimpse of the Town Map on the protagonist's wall. Looks like the Iberian peninsula to me.

No glitches required for this one. There is a tall outcrop overseeing that area in the southwestern direction, from where you can cross the river with a huge leap. Got an alpha Sliggoo there which is able to immediately evolve into Goodra.

After quelling the third lord you can request a mint harvest in the Jubilife farm for 10,000 Pokedollars, so that's one way. You only get three for all that money though. :blobsad: The effort system and level curve in this game are really tough on fast and frail mons. I had enough of how wimpy...

So I was looking at some leaked Legends Arceus screenshots (no spoilers here) and had a realization about Luxray's design. At a first glance it's a mean big cat with manes and stuff, yet at the same time it's retained the body proportions of a kitten: huge head and tiny body, large eyes...

For exclusively NPC elements there is always the Eternamax treatment. A hypothetical PLA OM would be more concerned about the generic mechanics, such as styles, status conditions, and weathers imo.

Seems more of a research than implementation issue the way you describe it. At the end of the day a turn is still a turn. And there already exist moves that prompt the player to make extra inputs mid-turn, so I suppose all bases are covered. The Showdown battle engine is more robust and...

Probably because that is the correct pronunciation for aegis as an English word (both British and American).

:ss/relicanth: I am sure most of you are familiar with the cryptic Braille engravings of the Sealed Chamber, alluding to the frightening power of the Regis; also included are instructions for undoing the seal, which involve Relicanth and Wailord. As to why those two Pokemon in particular, many...

I loved it so much I gave Togekiss Specs and PP Ups just to spam this move against all the route trainers

Seems to me Strength could be just improved to 90 (or 95? 100 even?) power and we'd call it a day. It's thematically perfect for a generic, bread-n-butter move. Those missing out are usually birds who have access to better Flying STABs.

Whose idea was it at ILCA to include so many reflective ground surfaces in BDSP? e.g. in the Galactic or mossy biome battles. I was at Canalave Library a while ago and even the wooden floor in the overworld looked like mirrors. Maybe it's their way to make the game look fancier. But surfaces...

They were forced to do a catch-all for all int'l versions, since if they didn't the band would have to sing SMOGON in the German version. :smogthink:

Goodra imo is an example where the designer might have had too much input. It does very much look the part -- but I don't think a slow, physically frail, and rather harmless altogether slug is what the battle team wanted for Gen 6's pseudo in the first place. At least giving him random 130 Atk...
