oh my god you have NO IDEA how glad I am that this is clarified in any official context lmao. "It's how it works mechanically" uhh yeah if you're a DINGUS!!!
now can we please do the same with Ice Face interacting with both Hail and Snow (also silly)
For Eelektross they probably at least want to keep the lack of bulk as a balancing factor since they likely worry about giving a Pokemon with no weaknesses good bulk too. As for the lack of speed? Idk Game Freak hates lampreys?
Game Freak should have learned by now that the mixed slow frail spread does not work.
EDIT--actually nvm lmao, they aren't really that frail and Eelektross even gets some Speed. I guess they learned...?
Just because it doesn't work doesn't mean they'll stop doing it. Gestures wildly at all the slow defensive ice types
Looking through the dex descriptions.

oh my god is natdex finally going to be a somewhat real tier now? instead of the most stupid application of mechanics alive?
Mega Zygarde Pokedex entry:
"In response to people’s emotions during an unprecedented crisis, Zygarde Mega Evolves and calms the situation with its unmatched power."
So interestingly, Mega Zygarde lore-wise is similar to Mega Rayquaza, in that its Mega Evolution draws power from people's emotions, the "wishes of the many" if you will. While Zygarde is more explicitly a guardian of the natural order of the world, this is also an interesting spin on Zygarde.

Also there is dialogue saying Sycamore and Trevor are in another region on a research trip
I’m VERY curious what Agility is going to do in this game.
Every other speed boost (other than Geomancy) getting cut, speed influencing cool-downs and Agility being listed AFTER the brand new mystery move, really has me intrigued.
Do we have move descriptions yet??

I think it might also be humans misunderstanding the intentions of these Pokémon. Rayquaza is the guardian of the skies, zygarde is the guardian of the land. They would probably mega evolve to defend the planet over defending the humans, but who knows.

HOW MANY SIGNATURE MOVES DOES ZYGARDE NEED?
It can't even fit them all into a single moveset anymore.
Especially since I think that the internal list of moves that has them numbered specifically for this game strangely had Agility numbered last or otherwise very far at the end of the LZ-A specific list. This suggests that Agility was originally left out for this game and then it was added back in late in development.
EDIT: I found the list I mentioned, it’s the one Kaphotics released a few days ago:

And indeed, Agility is listed even after the new Nihil Light for LZ-A’s own list of moves. I’m convinced Agility was cut for a long while during development.

No they didn't. It doesn't get Sticky Web. It gets every single other one though because a prankster Mon really needed that. Dark types are at even more of a premium it seems.
Drampa's mega stone is basically going back to his younger days lol
I mean, Land's Wrath, Thousand Waves and Thousand Arrows are all the same thing pretty much.
I honestly expected the fuck to get Geomancy and Oblivion Wing.

That name is a top tier pun. Annihilate -> Nihil Light.
Also, thank god Thousand Arrows is a physical move because Mega Zygarde would be totally unwallable otherwise.
Extremely disappointed that even Xerneas & Yveltal are reusing their entries. Both are from Y Version.
These guys have had a grand total of 2 entries their entire lives! ORAS (understandably) just reused XY. Then there wasn't a Nat Dex so their appearences in Gen 7 & 8 have nothing beyond Peony's quips.
Seems like everyone is reusing their entries actually, even the Megas. Mega Charizard's are from Let's Go, for example.
nope, didnt get sticky web, unfortunate
Theres character names for team skull and team star grunts but I'm not sure if they actually get used
Cyclohm is that you?
oh my god... its peak.... maybe megas can be good.....
