With all the info on Eternatus out there, easy to see why it's so locked off. It's a one-off available to everyone for finishing the new event's go pass and the incentive to do the Eternamax raid is till give a ton of candy Which it needs because it takes a metric boatload of the stuff...

Yeah that's absolutely not going to happen, even if it is a "proper" live service game (which, to be honest, probably not)

Chi-yu at least has a slim movepool to work with. Fire, Dark, and Psychic (the move) I doubt it has Hyper Beam and if it dips into its physical move pool it is both very slim and off the weaker attacking stat. Flash Fire Houndoom is immune to 2 of thsoe and resists the third; it just lacks ways...

Looking through the list of Megas, honestly the only one I really see them doing this for is Kangaskhan. But as we saw in LG, they, uh, can just not do that. But maybe there being a second hit box feels like a gimmick they'd want to acknowledge now that were in this different battle system...

No sign of abilities, no. Possible some, like Mawile or Kangaskhan, might get a "passive" that replicates the ability. That's what they did with Regigigas in L:A and they replicated Cherrim's Flower Gift by making the sunny form increased stats. Butttt I think the safer guess is just no...

And again such a shame we're just seemingly not going to visit any of the notable kalos areas so presumably anything interesting happening elsewhere will just have to be brought up in passing

I genuinely do not understand why this trailer wasn't in the Presents with the other mobile games. I fully expected it to play after the OG TCG section. Just highlights how arbitrary these presents are with their reveals....

it can never just be "I don't like this design", it's always gotta be something insidious. Not to mention Dragonair's wings extending out Honestly first thing I thought of when I saw the giant headwings was the end of the second pikachu short, to the point where in my mind dragonair's wings...

I don't think you implement this entire system just for rental Pokemon. Especially if there's now an extra stat point you can use. As an aside I wonder if the connection to Home and "bringing in" Pokemon might be more akin to PBR, where it just makes a copy of the Pokemon to place into the...

I'm definitely not holding my breath on Frontier stuff but it's possible that the other natures are available just only if you transfer in. Just no reason to display them for a rental Pokemon. And depending how transfers into the game even work, a would-be Frontier mode would just be made with...

people will buy it/subscribe because it's an official pokemon product where you can bring your guys from other games and play in 3D.

Hey here's a likely stupid question: Is Champions a F2P game? Like that's felt like the general assumption about it, because Phone, but also...the website doesn't say anything about that. The trailer doesn't say anything about it (maybe I missed some minor detail). The initial announcement...

ah man, it's like 2012 all over again

I mean I'd think that if anything it is the spirit that they really really really want you to use Home considering they seem to be offering you a small selection of Pokemon that you have to grind out otherwise. Speaking of, forgot to tack that onto that post, but I think that's how it'll work...
