Pokemon Scarlet & Violet - 18th Nov 2022! **OFFICIAL INFO ONLY**

watching the english subbed trailer, Iono's got more endearing streamer jokes with stuff like increasing air time and being glad she made it a two parter. I like Bellibolt messing with her too.
Sadly, I'd have liked it more if it wasnt a torture to hear extremely high pitched anime girl voice on top of it.

No, really, was it that hard to make a english version for normal human? :|
(I mean, ofc it was, else they'd have done it)
 
So far we had:
- Most Dex leaked in riddles.
- PLA completely leaked one month before release.
- Wigglet announce in... a seminary ???
- Japan only live before releasing a video ??????
I dunno, I thought the variety of methods is pretty cool, but not the lack of details.
Also, while I knew about the new frog in the leaks, I didn't guess its spherical appearance at all.

There is more info on the Japanese website, I ran it through a translator:

The elastic body is stretched and contracted to generate electricity with an organ that looks like a navel. The large amount of power energy generated is released from the eyeball-like bumps on either side of the head. Their true eyes are small and dull, and when they want to appear intimidating, the eyeball-like bumps seem to help.

Also it has Static, plus a new ability:

The ability "Convert to Denketsu" that Bellibolt possesses is a new ability introduced in this work. When attacked, it will be jyuden and enter a "jyuden state," allowing it to increase the power of its electric-type moves for one time only.

Seems similar to Flash Fire?

From the official English site:
New Ability: Electromorphosis
Bellibolt’s Ability, Electromorphosis, is a new Ability appearing for the first time in these titles. Bellibolt becomes charged when hit by an attack, boosting the power of the next Electric-type move it uses.
 
Nice, was starting to think we might have to wait for Monday for gameplay + art.

I like that they show its electric type attacks actually go from its body to the Pokemon, and not just hit from off screen:

The design is ok, definitely not what I imagined. It reminds me of Queenie (?) from FF9. Pure electric is meh, though, and like I said earlier I don't think this is vying for a spot on my team.

Also, I still hate the shark teeth on Iono so so much. When/why did this become a thing?
 
Calling English "normal human" implies japanese people arent normal humans which raises some weird ethical questions
:pikuh:
If "normality" has to be defined by the most present thing in a given sample, I am afraid english speaker people are the norm.

So yes, if your plan is to make content that can service as many people on the planet as possible, you're meant to be doing it in English.

By making it in Japanese, it means they don't care... as usual, after all, we're just sheeps who buy their games anyway, can't blame them.
:psycry:

Blame anime and vtubers. Not much to do about it.

Now I can't unsee the resemblance with Quina.

Worldie is bigoted, pass it on.

Design: A interesting ability for a defensive pokemon to fire off boosted up attacks even while not investing in their primary stat.

Reality: Watch it being another Electivire.
