I feel like they have to be trolling with that. Right before the things people are most wanting to see, they get paranoid? Maybe I'm being too mistrustful, but I find that eyebrow-raising.Right before the post-game.
Fffffffffffffffffffffffff
Was it not in the originals?Rotom is in this game ffs.
I'm actually impressed they are giving items to the non-ace Pokemon. I don't think any other main series Pokemon game has done this before.Im getting kinda bummed out that most people will probably just immediately diss this game's boss design on principle for using DP Pokemon selection when it's so clear that ILCA is genuinely putting in work to give them all interesting movesets and synergies (Sitrus + Belch Skuntank is so raw wtf). Maybe my standards are just way too low or I'm Armond White's long lost half-brother but despite my very obvious initial apprehensions they've won me over with the choices they've made. Like I said before, I am genuinely excited to see what the Elite Four has in store even if they got DP teams

It's amazing how many people still have hope, or in my case, got hope back for a minute only for it to be crushed again because of the stupid AI. If you think it's amazing how many people are angry now, just wait until the people hoping for the Battle Frontier get their hopes crushed.I'll be honest I have no idea how people can be freshly mad at this, it has been plainly obvious game was going to be doing!
Or you could remind them and get it over with. That works too.say no more i got you
As someone that hates the DP teams, I kind of agree. The improved movesets really cool and I can really see that they're trying their best so I want to like it, but it irks me so much that they stuck to the teams that were caused by the DP Dex's problems. It's so irritating so see really good stuff combined with stuff I just can't see as good.Im getting kinda bummed out that most people will probably just immediately diss this game's boss design on principle for using DP Pokemon selection when it's so clear that ILCA is genuinely putting in work to give them all interesting movesets and synergies (Sitrus + Belch Skuntank is so raw wtf).

I'll give you this, despite being given a poor hand (likely mandated to use the DP teams), ILCA put in the work to give the major NPCs interesting strategies (I wonder if being able to pick the Abilities and Moves was a bone GF threw to them or they had to convince GF that at the very least that was necessary). And the game does look good considering the style they went with, and the expression the major NPCs have during battle are pretty good (they tried to give the same level of expression to the overworld models which, they succeeded, but for me I just can't get past the chibi design especially for scenes which are meant to be serious like on Spear Pillar).Im getting kinda bummed out that most people will probably just immediately diss this game's boss design on principle for using DP Pokemon selection when it's so clear that ILCA is genuinely putting in work to give them all interesting movesets and synergies (Sitrus + Belch Skuntank is so raw wtf).

It didn’t work for Volkner. I have especially high doubts it’ll work for Flint.Or at least something on type.
Rotom is in this game ffs.
If they give Lopunny Klutz + Flame Orb NGL that'd be kinda sick if we're sticking with Diamond and Pearl teams.You can’t escape fate. Embrace it with open arms.
Gardenia's Roserade likely has Technician, so this is a genuine possibility!If only Hidden Abilities existed so you could also do Flame Boost Drifblim.
This should be someone's team just to make fun of the odd team choices in DP. Maybe Cynthia's little sister. "A batch of my big sisters friends gave me these Pokemon, say they're heading underground to get ones which better fit their team. I'm gonna train them up and someday become Sinnoh Champion like my sister! Let's practice battle!"You can’t escape fate. Embrace it with open arms.
I'm pretty sure Hidden Abilities do exist, since we saw Technician Roserade earlierIf they give Lopunny Klutz + Flame Orb NGL that'd be kinda sick if we're sticking with Diamond and Pearl teams.

The sequence where he walks towards you right before the battle absolutely killed me. Shame the video got zapped :(
Wow I am very mad at how this was handled. At least before the videos went down I was expecting my Monday to start off with HD capture card footage of Flint and his Lopunny with a distant MIDI Elite Four theme in the background. Then he took all the videos down and I thought at least this wouldn't be spoiled before release or some other leaker could carry on the torch. But he didn't even give me the satisfaction of seeing Flint's team get swept by Bubble Beam Empoleon for myself before he threw it all away with the word "First". For all the buildup Flint really deserved better and I hope there really is a final trailer that does his DP team justice.Pokey Masta has confirmed that Flint has his original team if for any reason you still thought they were gonna do some sneaky stuff

I dm'd him asking about Battle Frontier (this isn't me in this image) so hopefully he can answer that when he gets to it since he seems to still be playing
Seems like its relegated to the underground. When the dude had 4 badges, his pokedex only went up to Croagunk, meaning he didn't encounter the new platinum additions (which were placed after Dialga and Palkia in the OG dex).Oh right, is there anything on the Platinum additions being obtainable in Sinnoh? Ralts before Hearthome, Route 207 Gligar, gift Eevee etc? Or is it all relegated to underground?
Damn that sucks. The Gallade at Iron Island in one of the trailers gave me hope. TySeems like its relegated to the underground.

Sad thing is, if it wasn't for the Exp. Share, I'm thinking maybe I would have gotten them just because the new major NPC strategies actually look like they would have been fun to test teams I would make against. However with Exp. Share overleveling your team, and I'm the type of trainer that usually likes only training one team with maybe a few spares for certain situations, I know I would just come into the battle overleveled and so sweep anyway. Maybe if these games go on sale (yeah, yeah, laughable thing to say for a top Nintendo franchise game) I'll think about picking Diamond up to relive my original Diamond adventure (honestly they feel like they should have been budget titles anyway...).Boss movesets are INSANE though and it's at least been a fun night looking over stuff like chople berries and trick room; clearly someone on the dev team was having a good time
Or maybe the game doesn't count non-Regional Dex captures during main game/have to unlock the National Dex some other way? But, yeah, the more likely case is that the leaker just didn't bother going to the Underground.Seems like its relegated to the underground. When the dude had 4 badges, his pokedex only went up to Croagunk, meaning he didn't encounter the new platinum additions (which were placed after Dialga and Palkia in the OG dex).
Just because the leaker didn't seem to have used the Underground doesn't mean it's unavailable. They likely just wanted to get through the game as fast as possible so didn't bother with it. The main issue with the Underground likely isn't "is it available" but rather what hoops you gotta jump through to get the Pokemon you want. Looks like it's gonna involve a lot of digging and statue collecting & decorating to figure out the correct statue combination (or a datamine reveals the combinations speeding up at least that process).Damn that sucks. The Gallade at Iron Island in one of the trailers gave me hope. Ty
