Sorry, I Ctrl+F-ed Acrobatics on the first page and nothing turned up, so I thought it was unanswered. Thanks for the answers.

Is Hidden Power's type still tied to IVs, now that most Pokemon will end up with HP Dark due to the Bottle Caps? Is there any other buff to Hail other than Aurora Veil? Increase in Ice-type mons' defense stat(s), or more powerful Ice-type attacks, etc.? Does using a Z-Move consume the...

I bet it's triggered by showing Sol... Solrock and Luna... Lunatone! I mean the description perfectly fits those two, and their names are the only ones that match.

Thinking of Lunala as a potential rival to Lugia's viability is questionable. Other than their abilities, these two have almost nothing in common. Lunala isn't supposed to be used as a defensive mon (although it might be viable for it) because its offensive stats and typing are excellent. Ghost...

Other mon having Shadow Claw isn't any reason for Lunala's viability to drop. That would imply that Lunala is only viable for its Ghost coverage, or that Shadow Claw does the job of Moongeist Beam as a coverage. Moongeist Beam has a property that allows it to bypass Multiscale and other Lunala's...

It has higher offensive stats than Ho-Oh, and Ho-Oh has arguably the worse crappy typing. Not only is Lunala not weak at all to SR, it also cannot be trapped. If Ho-Oh sees use for both its offenses and its special bulk, then Lunala which straight outclasses Ho-Oh in both will be huge. And...

Then again Lugia isn't exactly a mon to use in stall-heavy metagame. If anything it thrives when the metagame is highly offensive. The fact that Lunala seems to hard-counter Lugia isn't looking favorable for the bird, though.

So, limited distribution? I see. I suppose it's another Sludge Wave/Sludge Bomb situation, although Leech Life is quite unequivocally the better move compared to X-Scissor.

Nos that Alakazam -> Mega-Alakazam is a 100 BST transition like all the other Megas, my slightly OCD self is very pleased. Although I'm bummed that Silvally does not even come close to rivaling Arceus. Does anyone know if X-Scissor has been buffed? Now that Leech Seed is what it is, the fact...

Not excited about any of the events anymore. The most interesting one was probably the shady dealings at the harbor, but I can imagine a short cutscene that fades to black and gives you a... Comet Shard. The rest are probably even worse. Just "Thank you for seeing me off, here's your Pearl String".

They might just have bred their respective signature Pokemon. So Cynthia may have ended up with a male Rough Skin Garchomp, and Wally may have bred for IVs because clearly RNGesus didn't smile upon him on Route 102.

! Why did it just dawn to me now that the music when they showed Red and Blue in the trailer is a remix of Blue's encounter theme!? It sounds awesome! I think there are two explanations here. First is that since Wally has been shown to be sickly, he might not have grown drastically during...

Yeah, if they wasted Cynthia's appearance here, then it's unlikely that there will be a DPPt remake. That's a shame. I think Steel > Fairy > Fighting works too.

A little more observation: so Decidueye and Incineroar both have signature moves of their secondary type, but Primaria has a signature move of its primary type? They never did this before with any other starters AFAIK. The number on Red's t-shirt is 96, the year the first Pokemon game ever was...

Battle Tree is a post-game feature like PWT, it seems, which is nothing to complain about. Red looks way more buff than the eternal 10-year-old I remembered him to be. And his silence is canon now - he was literally "..."-ing back in Mt. Silver. The Japanese name for Decidueye's signature move...

Makes sense now. Was a little freaked. I find the weather icons kinda cute, although I'm not sure where they'll appear. Will it be a clickable on the bottom screen, along with the mini sprites? If so, hope that the tooltips are thorough about the weather effects (hopefully even touching upon...

Might be reading into this too much, but if there is no way to reconcile the Z-Move button with the Mega Evolution button on the interface, I hope this means that this gen, Rayquaza will require a specific item to Mega Evolve. After all, Dragon Ascent was not actually the only pre-requisite in...

Ah, I see. I forgot how many signature Z-Crystals there are supposed to be outside of the type-specific ones. Well back in the dark, I suppose. The map of Earth suddenly makes me think about the alternate dimension thing people have been talking about. Not that the in-game regions aren't...

They have a... Sun Flute and a Moon Flute. Might be another Eon Flute kinda item, making it a Solgaleo/Lunala Poke-Ride. Z-Crystal for Mew. Interesting. Also, I don't quite catch the last part in the video, but other than a real world map, they have this yellow X mark that they say is an...

Weirdness. Yesterday when I tried the catching challenge all I could find was Pikipek, Yungoos, and the occasional Rockruff. No Pikachu at all in like 30 encounters. Today, when I tried it again, I find Pikachu with Pikipek and Rockruff. No Yungoos at all, even though they were the most common...
