I know it's a Legends screenshot... but they referenced Darach. The dream is not dead, THE DREAM IS NOT DEAD

Or maybe this
While the thread was locked, it was confirmed that the Union Room is always accessible from anywhere using the Y button.
I figured walking would be unlocked at Amity Square, but I didn't expect them to keep the restriction, though I guess it was either that or removing the discrimination NPC.
Poffin making looks pretty similar to curry in hindsight.
It seems like DP gyms are here to stay and Gardenia will still have Grass Knot as a TM. The Japanese trailer has an extra shot of Staravia using Wing Attack, which has a very fast transition from animation to damage.
The website has an additional section on the Features page about day to day differences. Chatot is shown.
Based on the Bulbapedia seal/sticker page, this is showing the Monday and Tuesday inventory respectively, with Line seals becoming Ribbon seals. I think this is also the first time we see this bag icon in a shop with highlighted pockets.
Some returning poketch apps were shown, including the Memo pad, Dowsing machine, and Friendship checker.
A picture of Dialga and Palkia in battle was added to the story page, which looks pretty close to the original battle background.

I agree on the Exp. Share being optional (you should be able to turn it off, that is), but I'm still convinced the actual Exp. Share is the way to go, namely because the Pokémon games I've enjoyed the most in the last years, all of them share one thing in common: they give u plenty of oportunities to level up your mons in no time and also have level restriction, thus encouraging the player in the making of more versatile teams and affording to present greater challenges, normaly as gym leaders or key trainers.
I've failed to find a single real reason as to why this method is inferior to the old Exp. Share. To me it's clear as day: give me the actual Exp. Share, but with the option to turn it off (I'd never) + level restriction related to medals obtained. This is how a few of the greatest fanmades ever made work, and since I'm talking not from the viewpoint of hyphotesis, but I've experienced it's impact in the game in a practical sense, I know it's far superior to the old Exp. Share, but for it to work, again, it needs the level restriction.

Hey just because Frontier is not a game-saving personal priority doesn't mean it wouldn't be pretty dope :p
Im just saying that going out of your way to visually reference a character from a beloved side-feature in a game that's clearly meant to be a companion piece to the remake of the game with said side feature only to not include it would certainly be a choice, especially after you already got into hot water for a similar tease in a previous game ("The Battle Frontier project has started!")

Since this is rather off-topic, I won't drag this further, but to summarize the point, regarding old vs. new exp. share...
Luckily changing the date on your switch is easy and I plan to do that often
I don't know if the restriction is necessarily there. They definitely showed the cute pokemon primarily but technically there's nothing saying it's ONLY cute Pokemon (& starters)
Even on the website it is just " Amity Square in Hearthome City is a relaxing place where you can spend time with your Pokémon. "
Incidentally
Torchic in the amity square artwork (Also a shroomish, hey shroomish), so presumably we'll be able to get that some how. Maybe post game underground?
It should not be the solution.
Especially when the games treat it as outright cheating (because it locks you out of daily events).
So, for rather obvious reasons, the Frontier is not going to be on Legends. As for BDSP, it's been thoroughly debunked with any possible place where it'd be being systematically rendered unviable.
So yeah, they did that. As for the repercussion, I believe you already know what to expect.
Same as always I suppose. Including the ways that we'll inevitably work around it.
Youre not wrong, it really shouldn't be the solution. But it is an option, especially for people like me who don't feel like waiting to get something
But still I don't know why this stuff exists
Flavor, variety. If you asked them directly probably throw in some answers about ~immersion~ and encouraing trading (I only play during the nigth time! I only play during the day time!! Wow let's trade pokemon)
The NPC said this in the trailer, though it could just be flavour text now.
The japanese website has deconfirmed multiplayer poffin cooking based on the note at the end, but also says you can add 4 berries and make good poffins yourself to compensate. It also shows some more UI elements, though English versions exist from the press photos/serebii.
The Japanese website also points out the Shellos differences on their Mt. Coronet page.
Truly Pokemon is an expert about being as confusing as possible with extremely straightforward information
Dp teams instead of pt is a bit of an L but an L that was expected from the release of oras and the fact it used rs teams so not something im really annoyed about.
This isnt a bdsp complaint but poffins are kinda ugly. Maybe its because this is the first time I'm seeing them properly in Glorious 3d but I do not like them LOLOL
Also @ exp discussion early: just have an item called exp stone or whatever that boosts exp to holder and keep gen 7 exp share. Ez

How can you tell? Roark and Gardenia's teams were largely the same between the 2, the big deviations don't come until the latter half of the game
Pretty much. It is a somewhat neat in-game event to spice things up.
Bro, this game looks so good.
I'd normally post this in the "little things you like" thread, but that would be kinda spoilerish.
BDSP is directly addressing a LOT of OG DP's flaws, this is excellent for a remake. As you know, one of the criticisms about HGSS is that it didn't really tackle the glaring issues with Johto, but BDSP is just going the extra mile to improve everything that was a problem in the originals.
The list of things that I wanted from Plat to be in the Sinnoh Remakes is starting to get a bit too thin.
Right now, the biggest losses I can think of are No Plat Fantina (RIP Queen, you'll be missed.), No Battle Frontier (As expected, really), and no Distortion World (Which frankly was cool, but not really a dealbreaker.)
I'm waiting for confirmation of what to expect from Post-Game, but even with just the info we have rn, this is looking like an extremely solid game.
I am insane and for some reason thought that the trailer was using the dp team for gardenia because roserade was sent first
That IS insane, she starts with Cherubi in DP lol.
Roark was shown to have a Geodude (which he has in both games) with Rollout (Whitney PTSD kicks in) and Cranidos.
I think they're hiding any bigger changes, but let's be honest, we know they ain't doing Flint dirty like that again LMAO.
Dont have the image in hand so just imagine the "i may be stupid meme" inserted here
