Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
Map of lumiose from the demo.
Looks fairly small? My biggest worry is still how interesting exploration/the map is gonna be. Everything else from the demo looks great though, the battle system seems really fun and engaging.
I’m surprised they only revealed Dragonite tbh, I thought we’d at least get 2-3. I expect another around worlds, then 1-2 in September and maybe a few more the week of release.
Why are you like this
I also think had they gone through with Z they would’ve added some Gen 6 megas. Let people sit with the new designs for a while, before upgrading them.
I think it’s just that they revealed it a year in advance of when they normally would lol. So people spent a year waiting for info, only to be met with the usual drip feed we get when something is first revealed.
I think the mega energy thing shows up on every Pokemon as long as something in the party has a mega stone equipped. It’s only lit up when they can actually mega evolve:
There’s another image somewhere of Lucario battling with no mega stone and no gauge shown. I think most of the photos...
Eternal Floette is a bit different since it was an actual character in game and its form was never released. It was removed as a form because it never existed as something the player could actually get.
Ash Greninja (and the “bond phenomenon” or whatever they called it) only existed because...
I’m leaning towards regional forms just because I don’t think they’ll pass up this chance to give Greninja a mega. Which, btw, they are not gonna just reuse the Ash Greninja design for. They even retconned that out of existence in the anime so I think they just want to forget about it.
For...
I don’t think they’ll let something like that get in the way of their ideas. Ultimately if they want to make regional forms for the starters, they’ll come up with some lore reason to explain it. Totodile and the rest aren’t native to Kalos anyway, so no reason they can’t have forms.
I thought you were good at noticing FPS?
The city setting is my biggest worry tbh, because I dint see how they fit anything interesting like LA’s icelands in there. I could see us eventually expanding to the badlands or something though, but it’s hard to know at this point I guess. I’m hoping...
I actually never thought of it that way. I assumed it was more that they were less “elemental” than something like electric and were easy to slap on, especially for regional forms. But yeah they’ve only done those five types so I expect the same here, regardless of whether they’re megas or...
Saw someone on Reddit say that the next legends game will have Snivy, Litten and Popplio to finish out the gen 5/7 starters before a legends Hoenn game lmao
I do think we’ll leave Lumiose at some point but I doubt this means anything. That description would apply regardless of whether or not...
Yeah I really hope the wild zones or whatever are big. I don’t care that much about running around the regular city.
Shocked at the starters lol, and kinda disappointed. I wish they had at least swapped one of the Johto two out so we had three from different regions. Chikorita and Tepig are...
If anything, the fact that they removed Ash Greninja from the games and retconned its existence out of the anime points towards them going forward with Mega Greninja now. It’s insanely popular and I’d be surprised if they missed this chance to market the hell out of it.
