I don't think Sky Battles were overleveled or had necessarily great coverage. I think they all just used level up learnsets and most of them seem to be approximately in line with surrounding trainers. If there was a reason to not do them it was probably because you had a pretty limited pool of...

I do like that Lugia was the one that had its tower burned to the ground and it just dove into the ocean meanwhile the entire fall out with the beasts and seeing the best in humanity is associated with Ho-oh. ...also while double checking the lore there's this whole bit they added in HGSS...

Yeah this feels like a big reach and trying to pull on a lot of superficial similarities to show how they're related when everything else about them is....not, that. And trying to position this assuredly unintentional thing as putting more thought into it than the later 3rd legends is a bit odd.

girls are just too good at catching, this is reflected by the girl not-rival catching things too fast and the girl player getting to catch faster

I would say the #1 complaint I hear about Pokemon is stuff unrelated to the battle system. Certainly in the last, oh, 6 gosh maybe 9 years it's certainly been based around performance and visuals. Even before then, the complaint I usually heard was pertaining to speed which does get brought up...

I mean, they literally got rid of the form in SV. That's pretty retconned, even if it's still going to be listed in the online pokedexes and home.

Well, we should have an asterisk that the "lore" given doesnt even have to be a lot or acknowledged. Kalos dex was also the one where they just kind of shrug at there being mewtwo in the pokemon village and the legendary birds just flying around. Presumably they just kinda, wander around...

We know how they'd handle the Paradoxes because it'd be the same way as the UBs: just put them outside the regional Pokedex with all the other legends & random other Pokemon. I think the Kalos dex (& I guess the Johto "new" pokedex but that's a different thing) is the only regional dex that...

Because the games would likely require more development time to port to and work on a new system. The "extra benefits" of these systems are not necessarily easy to make use of, if anything is made use of at all. The appeal, presumably, of these "upper" versions is you get to reuse all the assets...

If they stated a reason we'd not be having theories about language and IVs so it's one of those things we won't know until we have the game and can pop open the pokemon's inner workings.

Making everything about Mega Raichu Y super fluffy was a great artistic decision. Very cute.

The only thing we know about the game is effectively what was in the trailer, which you can see Pokemon from many different generations.

Every generation they bring in new explosive beat sticks, new (or changed) explosive moves, occasionally nerf more extreme stalling tactics (sharper timers, fewer recovery), then ear mark a few support Pokemon, then introduce format changes to introduce more even beatier beat sticks. While they...

I think the funniest thing would be Champions is EXCLUSIVELY 3v3 or 4v4 while the real games get 6v6 but only 6v6, even in doubles.

All of the shiny treasures of ruin run until September 30th, so you'll have no problems getting them. Shiny Chi-Yu won't be released until later this week, even.
