Those pokemon have mediocre allrounder statlines and a stupid move
when i say slow i mean like, i dunno. Beartic.
Or maybe just straight up Wailord But Ice Type
that’s really cool, assuming it’s an actual gameplay thing (wild Pokemon starting battle poisoned)
I may be wrong but looking at Pooper its mouth seems to be actually textured instead of just being a sticker on its lower face like it was in SwSh. That’s something at least.
God dammit. After Galar's saturation of Rotom technology, I was hoping they'd stop shoving Rotoms into things.website said:

Day one purchase now
The Rotom Phone doesn’t even interact with you. People liked the Rotom Dex so they went, “here’s a phone, it has a Rotom. Happy?”
You say it like it's a bad thing.
I've been told Paldea map meets Kalos map exactly were France and Spain meets. Is it true? So where's Andorra?
Yung Dramps
awesome gaming
It is.
The starting area appears to be the little peninsula at the very bottom.
Here's your sexy map, ma'am
Meanwhile, the natural habitat for Ice-types appears to be placed as far away from there as possible. Maybe even gated behind the climbing ability. Why am I not surprised?
It's good, actually
Man the new mechanic could be the most broken or the most balanced, we need to learn how it even works, if the power bonus is anything near a z-move then is going to be totally busted, and will all Pokémon get access to all possible types? Or will each Pokémon be limited to certain types? How does the type change is going to work anyway, will it replace a type or be the secondary type when possible, or will it become a third type? And how will they balance movepools this time? Will they give everyone access to moves from every type for the mechanic to actually be fully compatible with everyone? It would feel annoying to only get raids for mons that get nothing from the new type after all.
This is so exciting.
This is so exciting.
I love the idea someone suggested that Hidden Power becomes your Tera type
I can't stand the fact that Koraidon wheels dont spin. It is so stupid. The worst thing about it is that I'm 100% sure one of the members of GF will be adressed in the future about this, and they will respond something like "yea yea, it is because its specifically based on [insert here something no one cares about] so we thought that it was more REALISTIC for Koraidon to not use the wheels blalblbal". The reaily that truly matters is that Miraidon animation while riding it looks so great while Koraidon is like a being with 2 giant wheels almost touching the ground running on its fours. Why? Like, why??
It is a truly open world game (or is being marketed as one, they may still pull off a PLA with a pseudo open world) so it is not that big of a deal this time, we should be able to reach any area after lizard-biking for a few minutes.
The Mystery Gift early purchase bonus Flying Tera Type Pikachu comes with Fly so my theory is that the way this might work is that "off brand" Tera Type pokemon will come with a move they wouldn't normally get and can only get through the tera type raid. So for example, the Water Tera Gardevoir might come with a water move it only gets through a water tera raid.
I'm going to guess they just thought it was funny
like they even specifically point it out
and its true: it is funny[/i]
Interesting and unexpected, but that still kinda has same effect: you already know Toxapex is now flying type, so yes, it may have dodged one Earthquake... but it'll have a rock slide or something similar coming next time instead, and it's now no longer walling things it was going to wall as water/psychic.
Changing type is not as op or gamebreaking as people make it to be imo. On top of losing stabs on main attacks.
It was stupid enough that I almost kind of liked it. I guess because Koraidon is based on the past, they decided to just make him not use his tires like the more futuristic Miraidon. It's interesting, at least, I can say that much.
