They tell u in the video xd
She truly is a legend.
Or just hit it with Discharge itself and then have it spam Discharge too.
haha, Electivire/Bellibolt cores go brrrrrrrrrrr
In reality, we can pretty much guarantee it won't have the offenses to truly be threatening on that front. It might turn out an ok defensive mon though, and Electric doesn't have a lot of those.
More importantly... Pretty sure Iono's used Spark, so no sig TM for now. Definitely not a reliable physical STAB either, which means...
Wild Charge is the best option again.
This can't keep happening man!
Calling it now: since Electromorphosis sounds like metamorphosis, it'll evolve from an unrevealed tadpole Pokémon.
I wouldn't worry for that bit "yet".
Spark is a somewhat common low level move even for special oriented electric types, so it really could be anything.
Personally I'm expecting a Guzzlord-like spread, which while terrible it may be usable, but could really be anything on that side as well.
I don't however expect it to be particularly fast, probably 70 at best.
I say it’ll evolve into something like Frog version of Dragapult. The fake eyes hatch to reveal its children where the tadpoles fight along side it. Getting Parental Bond renamed to Parental Pond
Plot twist: it's Pooper's evo.
God, I hope it's not that. There does not need to be a Pokemon equivalent of the Surinam toad.
If anyone in this thread doesn't know what that is, don't look it up if you have trypophobia.
Its most likely based on the Cuyaba Frog, which inflates its body to look like it has large eyes. Its fake eyes and belly are also most likely inspired by how frog eggs look like eyeballs
I think its kinda funny how that makes it all the more similar to chansey given its overall shape, face and the fact its carrying an egg in its belly

I'm at work, can't see videos at all, so I get information from here.
Cutie
It looks australian
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.
Blame anime and vtubers. Not much to do about it.
Pokémon is a series made in Japan by Japanese people. It's only natural for something like this to be made in Japanese. You could certainly make a case for a lack of a multi-language dub being "lazy", but I'd have to disagree with that. It just doesn't seem worth to even ask for to me when the English voice actor for Iono would be at least as annoying as the Japanese one. But that's coming from a guy who can understand her "gibberish".
That's a really neat frog! The second pic looks like a butterfly that has fake eye marks on its wings.
Based on the animations in the video, I'm pretty sure the belly is based on a Plasma Lamp, which coincidentally looks kind of like like a frog egg with electricity.
The people who usually dub this kind of archetype tend to not be quite the same level of high-pitched, high-energy that sets people off
They get close to the vibe but, probably helped mostly by being in your language, it's not as "striking". And sometimes the voice direction takes them in a slightly different direction to compensate.
Regardless I think it's probably not laziness and probably just more, like, budget or time. The English trailer voices in general, for all of pokemon's trailers not just SV and that extends to their Pokemon Presents stuff too, have just been not great. I get the feeling they don't have a big budget to, you know. Hire the VO, give proper direction, retakes, all that jazz.
And wouldn't surprise me if they were on a tight schedule for this. Who knows when they even got the videos, you know?
The entire english side has just been weird for a while, honestly?
The professor roundtable was fully subbed in English and had a partial dub but it wasn't even acknowledged on the English side. Even if they didn't want to translate the website that went with it (something they also never do for any of the novelty websites....) the video's just right there....They didn't even acknowledge Wiglett so for 2 days we had this old school "pokemon revealed in japan, but nowhere else" deal until they posted the actual trailer for it.
The overview trailer had outdated footage both in terms of build quality and showing Pokemon not meant to be shown; not to mention that one point where you could see the english text just overlaid on japanese text that they didn't clean up.
They announce the Iono trailer, but they didn't present it as a grafaiai-styled or wiglett-styled gimmick, they definitely presented it more akin to the usual trailers. Meanwhile Japan set it up as an Iono Stream, sort of like how the roundtable was presented as a presentation from the one professor guy.
The Iono "trailer" goes up and then they don't post anything about it for like 30 minutes, even though the other social medias did. And when they do post it its just subbed, something they also don't generally do for trailers
Then the second trailer doesn't get a social media announcement notice at all, even though that's the one that actually has the information on the POkemon as well as more information about Iono. At least they posted it pretty close to presentation time.
My conspiracy hat feels like TPCi doesnt' especially care about stuff like this so they don't give a lot of time or money for it. "It's just small trailers, why bother" type of deal.
It does not appear to give it an immunity to Water, or any type for that matter. Though it also seems to activate no matter what type of attack hits it. It's basically Stamina but instead of Harden it's Charge (without the SpDef boost, probably).

I don't think it'll give it a plus 1 boost its SpD as it says nothing about it. Just a bonus to the next electric type attack.
whoops I meant to say without
NGL, love how the pokemon world is expanding. We need to have Pokemon celebs interact with each other....Oh right thats what Masters is for.

It's probably a bit of both budget and time, however I feel like with budget it is likely less "we don't have the money" (i don't think money is as big of an issue if you're hiring a well known voice actress for a short role) and more of a "we don't think we'll get a good enough return to justify spending the money"... and judging by a lot of the reactions to the trailer they likely made the right call.
Time-wise they would have to spend some time finding voice actresses for the role and then work with their schedules to go over the lines, voice, do the recording, etc. for each language that they would be releasing the trailer in, which would take a considerable more amount of time than just translating/localizing the script and subtitling the video. (Which is also why I am okay with a lack of voice acting for the games. They aren't giving them enough dev time to be able to smoothly coordinate all that and still meet a simultaneous worldwide release date.)
The video that revealed Wiglett. The lead up to "finding" Wiglett was looking at Pokemon in the various environments of Paldea, then they go to the shoreline footage and see Wiglett and start commenting on how it resembles Diglett and trying to refer to the notes of the one professor i forget the name of.
