This is going to be a weird comparison but I remember a lot of RPGs (both "character" ones and Monster ones) where you could link-interact with friends and then might get the chance to recruit their characters or monsters to your roster, straight out of their party. This was to the point that it was the only way to complete a Bestiary through either Version-exclusives or Duplicating rare monsters for Fusion chains. Since Pokemon, for multiple reasons, probably wants to discourage that as pseudo-cloning, maybe the Eggs are a compromise.
So if I really like Mark's Perfect super-strong
While true, specifying Eggs in the post about group interaction for Picnics in what seems to be the latest "Multiplayer Hub" (Union Room, Join Avenue, PSS, Festival Plaza) does make me wonder if there's a specific interaction or behavior here compared to Solo, as a way to further encourage socialization.
I think it's just being pointed out so that you know it can still happen, since if they didn't specify there's a chance you wouldn't know otherwise.
I feel like when they already cover that Picnics in general can yield Eggs, that it goes without saying that eggs can appear during multiplayer as well. Another potential interaction is everyone gets the "same" egg (loose use of the term ranging from same species to a bunch of shared traits/numbers under the hood).
Also, I'm pre-empting this: Someone's gonna draw a Picnic/Cooking comic where the punchline is "Character finds Pokemon Egg -> Egg Based food is being eaten" before Saturday is over.
Something really weird that has come up
The English trailer seems to be using a much older buld than the Japanese one. JP runs at a much better framerate and doesn't have the 3 minimap mons visble (Also the Wooper in the picnic scene stays the same form)
I have no idea why the trailer is like this but at least we know the framerate is improved in more recent builds

I didn't make that assumption (before seeing the website mention it) because my assumption was "oh this is a breeding related mechanic, and they would keep that as a solo interaction while the multiplayer focuses on the pictures and sandwiches"
honestly not surprised considering Herbivorous became Sap Sipper lol
People expect a lot from GF.
The games looks fine but... Will probably become one more to fans complain for 2 years until a new one is released, and then they acclaim it for beeing the older one.

It doesn't mean that at all. In Gen 4 Recover went from 32 PPs to 16, no other move was affected (granted, Recover was the outlier here as the only recovery move with 32 PPs, but still).
And I don't like this at all, going defensive is already hard enough and Rest was the most balanced recovery move.
"Strike first" has nothing to do with being an attacking move or not according to the pokemon.com glossary. There are also status priority moves like Baby-Doll Eyes and Prankster stuff that Dazzling/Queenly Majesty block as well.

Also the Tsareena page uses the same wording as the giraffe page, nothing about attacks or striking.

Apparently this still managed to trick people into thinking they would have a difference back in October 2016 though and now even today.
If that's true, then I hate it even more. At least Showdown can just ignore the 20 minute timer.
I don't see why they couldn't just let challenges have an unlimited timer. It's not like there's any rating at stake so if you get bored you can just quit lol.

Anyone try mathing out what base power Tera Blast could have? Is that sort of thing okay here because it is possible it may not have that high of a base power. (Someone in one of the discords i am in has done math on it)
I feel like it's hard to actually math it out when the Titans probably have set thresholds where they flee
I don’t think it’s about the timer. The timer issue is that animations took forever to play out. It may be that something in SV can abuse Rest hard. Or maybe they just randomly nerfed it. They did nerf Flamethrower, Thunderbolt, and Ice Beam.
We can’t exactly know the BP of Tera Blast, but it looks pretty weak from the trailer since it has similar damage to Icy Wind even when Terastallized.
Updated Paldea checklist:
Color code:
- Green: this Pokemon is present in the Paldea Pokedex,
- Dark Green: this Pokemon has a new Regional Form
- Light Green: this Pokemon is likely to be present in the Paldea Pokedex.
New confirmations:
- Grimer, Muk,
- Numel, Camerupt,
- Litleo, Pyroar,
- Rookidee, Corvisquire, Corviknight,
- Toxel, Toxtricity,
- Snom, Frosmoth.
Notably, a Johtoan Wooper could also be seen in the trailer which suggests that it and Johtoan Quagsire can be obtained during normal gameplay.
Farigiraf is amazing – I really love the idea behind its design! I am also pretty happy that they are making regular evolutions again. Also, its existence greatly increases the chance that Kleavor and Ursaluna are present in the Paldea Pokedex.
EDIT: Added the Numel line.

SwSh had trades for all of the non-Galarian versions of galar Pokemon so it would make sense if there was something similar in SV. Would be interesting if you could catch non-Paldean Wooper in the wild though, since you couldn't with previous regional formes.
Well L.A. does set a precedent since you can actually catch both variants of Sneasel in the game.
Technically base SWSH only had trades for base Meowth/Yamask/Mr. Mime so that you could get Persian and Cofagrigus to complete the regional dex, and the rest of the formes were added in trades in the Isle of Armor DLC.
Really not a fan of Farigiraf. It having one double head and no tail as opposed to having a head on its tail misses the whole point of its name being a palindrome.
grimer and muk being in means that alolan muk can be transfered in.

This is interesting. There's definitely not enough of a difference between these two icons for this to feasibly be a different form imo - they're the same design in different poses. Not sure what to make of this, but I've seen the idea of them being a group of mons like Falinks or Exeggcute and the two of them are meant to be one single icon here. Only issue with that is that it'd be a rather wide icon, but I can maybe see that (Specially with such simplistic baymax ass designs - they're meant to be seen as groups so maybe having more complex design would be visually cluttered)
WHOA CALM DOWN YOU FOLKS ARE POSTING WAY TOO MUCH WAY TOO FAST!
- You bastards!"
(To be continued...)
Maybe the player can do something else at the same time. Maybe throwing rocks and baits. Or punching grunts. Or solving a puzzle.
I challenge anyone to find a good-looking tree in modern 3D games. Any game. Even on "beautiful" games like RDR2 or The Witcher 3, no-one is excited to stare at trees for more than two seconds.
Yeah, that scene with Sunflora is choppy as heck. Hopefully it will be fixed soon, preferably on release.
Discount Minccino, a parrot clipart, and a Super Mario mushroom with a block of sugar or a chimney stuck inside.
I wonder if that new shroom evolves into Mario.Bruh
WHOAWHOAWHOA- Spoilers! Calm down, mate! Not even the leakers crossed this line!
Wait... Are you telling me there's a chance for Furret, Unown and Dunsparce?
"Oh my Arceus they ate Lechonk!
- You bastards!"
Ok so we have Rock Mushroom Pokemon, and Breloom is in the game, now we have Scuttle Bug.
Is Steel Terastallize gonna be Metal Cap too?
My biggest complaint about this trailer: no new Terastal hats. Boo.
The unfunny answer to where Eggs come from:Hasnt that been the explanation for pokemon breeding for last 20 years though. The breeders also just "found eggs" without even knowing where they're from

I looked at the trailer again and there are no animations for those sprites, so it’s probably a variation like Meowstic or really obvious gender difference.
