I also wonder if the Underground wild mons will include Pokemon from Gen 5 onwards. I really want either BDSP or Legends to include some of the mons I still miss dearly, like Zebstrika, Eelektross, and the Kalos starters.
Lanturn is available in DPPt, just postgame with the super rod
To me it seems several of the areas are "isolated"
Well Waterfall has been a staple move used to actually give a phisical water stab, it'd be weird if it was "gone". Solid chance Surf and Waterfall are just there as TMs.
Well, putting aside the question about 5+ pokemon (Sylveon feels like someone who should be here, if nothing else....), I imagine that Legends Arceus will pick up the slack on the remainder.
If we want to be technical, the only non-mythical Gen I-IV Pokemon missing from the three DS Sinnoh games put together are the Gen I-III starters, Mewtwo, All Gen II Legends, and All Gen III legends except the Regi Trio.
Ok, now THIS is super interesting to me. There are multiple Pokemon that weren't in the Platinum dex: Just from this art I spot Numel, Slugma, Skiploom, Oddish and OG Grimer, and we also saw mons like Sentret and Lanturn in the proper trailer.
Judging from the minimap alongside the full map here, it seems all those big ? markers are the "special caves", rather than specifically tied to Pal Park and such.
C...can't help but notice the entire ice area is locked to...the ice part of the map, unconnected from teh rest.
To be fair, considering it's remakes, they can pretend to tease the plot for new players, but they also *have* to show something that would also interest people that played DPP.
On one hand, they are somewhat heavily teasing the ability to get these Pokemon. They're all over the screenshots & artwork and to an extent the trailer.To be fair, considering it's remakes, they can pretend to tease the plot for new players, but they also *have* to show something that would also interest people that played DPP.
I wonder how early we'll have access to potential "dex expansions" though, cause if they're just postgame that doesnt really help much.
I think it's a fair choice to be blatant about the new features. I dig GF actually doing decent marketing for once
Those are mini-models more than mini-sprites to me.I missed this earlier, but the contest parts actually show some new/higher res minisprites for mons and they look pretty good. I think Pikachu's is completely new or possibly based on its LGPE partner minisprite.
Here's direct screenshots from the website (features tab).
My theory is the new Normal Type icon is loosely based on Bidoof's head because of the "ears" at the top.I missed this earlier, but the contest parts actually show some new/higher res minisprites for mons and they look pretty good.

I noticed this pretty game changing change right here; Piplup has Water Gun. Now in the original games it only had access to Bubble and Bubblebeam, so they may be going the Gen 6 Squirtle route and making it so it gets Bubble later as an upgrade to Water Gun.

If you didn't open the spoiler, I noticed Piplup has Water Gun now which is new.
The features tab also mentions some interesting points like you can get Seals (or Stickers as they call them now) by beating gym leaders and you can also edit them in the original 2D style. Following pokemon are unlocked later, probably around Amity Square.
This page is actually pretty eye-opening. We have a glimpse of the battle UI, though in Japanese. I like the colours but I think they could have just removed the bag option like how the other games do it iirc.

There's a global and local room aspect.

Here on the summary screen we can see that (I'm assuming) BDSP has its own mark like the pentagon, and the game is keeping the modern 6 digit IDs. I think that Normal type icon is new as well. Also, Bidoof is mentioned as Pokedex No. 399 which is its NATIONAL specification. In another scrolling screenshot Bidoof is shown to be #13 so I think this confirms National Dex numberings will be acknowledged in some form.

I thought this was a pretty plain entry, but it's the exact same as the original Diamond.
The original underground you could see people running around too iirc (or at the very least, you could see them interacting with walls and warping in/out around the underground), so this seems like the logical extension of it.
Raptor confirmed back to in-game S-Tier.
Could mean anything from DLC to Hisuian mons being available to transfer from Legends.
You sound spiteful. What's wrong? Need to vent?
Nat. Dex number on the Summary screen? Is there any precedent for this? Legit question, I don't remember.
Regardless, Online Underground is going to make getting Spiritomb very easy.
This might be wrong since its just a memory guess, but when you got the natdex in older games, your pokémon would change into their natdex numbers. I remember something like this in oras
Iirc Newmoon Island wasn't actually acknowledged on the map until you got the Member Card and went there via the old residence in Canalave.
Possibly just an understandable special case, but Meltan and Melmetal use their national dex numbers in LGPE (so technically the rest of the Pokemon do too, it just happens that those numbers overlap completely with their regional dex numbers ;) )
