- Thread starter DHR-107

That just sounds like armadillo.
I can't believe Game Freak jumped on the "funny simulator game" bandwagon a decade too late. SV is a meme game, confirmed!
Okay now I'm boycotting the game. /s

I'll be honest, I don't think those would actively add anything of worth to PLA. Fow SwSh and SV it makes sense since you can at least use them for online battles, but PLA being a self contained adventure kind of gives the og forms nothing to do. I feel like more than any other games in the franchise, PLA is about completing the region's Pokédex - would be kind of counterproductive to have 20ish forms to get that aren't even found naturally in the wild. OG forms would also have to either be Distortion-Exclusive (Which would absolutely flood distortion encounters with 20ish mons), in-game trade (which defeats the game's main gameplay of going into the wild to catch mons in the overworld) or be transfer-only (which also does that but as previously discussed doesn't really give the transfered mons anything to do)
As for Vulpix, they're apparently the official pokémon mascots of the Hokkaido region of Japan
So they were probably just tossed into the hokkaido-based region as a cute nod to that
With all that said, I fully expect SV to have all variants for a mon since none of the things that made those a bad idea for PLA apply to SV. So since we've seen Meowth and Pikachu in trailers, for an example, I'm expecting Alolan Raichu, Alolan Persian and Perrserker to at least be transferable
Pokédillo sounds fire ngl
As in a:
- Pokemon-style bocadillo?
- Armadillo Pokemon?
- a Pokemon that's a bocadillo combined with an armadillo?
- A bocadillo styled after an armadillo Pokemon?
- A bocadillo styled after an armadillo/bocadillo Pokemon?
Bro wtf this is a kids game. They can’t just make add Pokemon themed adult toys to the game. That’d be going too far.
... Yeah, I think this board needs to be locked until next announcements.
Nah I think they explicitly want to troll DHR-107 at this point
Apparently the tweet lists her name as Iono and there are two distinct shapes attached to her head... we can probably guess what type she uses.
Also according to Serebii Japan and otber Asian countries are having the info delivered by her while the english version is just a basic news trailer... which is lame. (And makes me wonder if they're using some kinda vtuber avatar or what)

He could if we stopped spamming pointless shit and wishlisting every 3 pages
Memes aside, I think we're at that point where we can more or less expect some new bits every week or so.
Maybe, but locking it gave Pikachu315111 a taste of a Mod's power to lock threads.
Is he becoming a Mod soon so he can have that power for real? :P
I know it's October but don't scare the mods with such a frightful scenario.
Also, Iono - Electric-type? She has what looks like Magnemite hair decorations and screw bolts on her feet. Paldean Magnemite? "We've already seen normal Magnemite". We've also already seen Paldean and normal Wooper.
They didn't really give us a Vtuber Gym leader did them....
Which begs the question: Is this what "Iono" actually looks like, or is this a digital puppet and we'll meet the actually "Iono" who looks a bit more normal?
By the way the trailer speaks, I assume she's meant to be a streamer and not really a vtuber. So very likely we'd meet her directly.
I don't mind it per se, I think it's fine considering how important streamers are nowadays (and how impactful vtubers are in japan anyway).
I just have a personal crusade against Vtubers
Iono is from not-Valencia.
All her Pokémon will have an Oran Berry.
