They have titles now

 

[Lightchao42]

Pokémon Scarlet and Violet is an action game which is based on Paldean history. The stages of the game will also be based on famous battles which actually took place in ancient Paldea.

So here's this giant enemy crab...

Though in Paldea, when you attack its weak point, you take massive damage.

Gym Leaders will use a mon not of their type as their ace but Terastalize them to make them the Tera-type of the type they specialize in (example: Tera-Grass Sudowoodo by the Grass Gym Leader).

What, an actually good showcase of the mechanic in the single player campaign, showcasing the possible usage in competitive?

That's illegal.


Also random thing: I like how mr Crab has 2 directly opposite abilities, one that makes it immune to crits to be able to setup defensively, and one that instead makes you squishier and more powerful for being hit.

Klawf could end up making Nuzlockes an absolute nightmare if not handled well.

You think Gym Leaders will stop Terastallization if the Pokemon already has a type advantage, cause I'm picturing Sudowoodo changing from Rock to Grass in front of Fuecoco right before my eyes.

They also released a video about a themed Switch (OLED Model). This is short but shows a slightly expanded scene of Fuecoco burning its berry.

As for initial thoughts on the trailer, I did like seeing two cool new fire mons and they split the focus nicely while giving some interesting new info on each path.

its like the meme

who'd win:

- a giant stone crab whos been terrorizing paldeans for ages to the point it has a special title engraved, known as KLAWF, THE STONY CLIFF TITAN

- a small, green cat

I dig the mega-man mons, but I kind of wish their types were swapped, since I like Armorage's design a bit more than Cerluedge's. Also, I am not a fan of them continuing to make version exclusive ghosts. Last couple of gens it worked out because there was only one version with a ghost exclusive (except USUM, but I already had Lunala from moon), but that may not be the case this gen. Gonna make it hard to choose a version if so (and it means I'm probably gonna look at the datamine to make my decision).

I like Klawf. It's got some puppy vibes going on. (carcinisation?)

Something I don't like about Pokemon trailers is this annoying habit they have of zooming in on the text box. If you're not watching the trailer on a phone, it just make it harder to read what they're trying to emphasize.

Tragically, Hypno line is confirmed to be returning.

 

[R_N]

I think it's interesting how Champion is a "title" multiple people can have. It's just a Rank anyone and multiple people can strive for and have.

Does this look like a Splatoon boss to anyone else, or just me?

 

[Scorpio]

Ceruledge and Armarouge look like Mega Man was turned into a Pokémon. It’s kind of annoying that they bought back Fire/Ghost again after repeated Pokémon of the same type in Gen 7 and 8.

someone oughta tell gf that x is the blue one and zero is the red one

In other news I wonder what the other crews of Team Star are gonna be like. Are they gonna be Grass and Water or are we getting a curveball?

 

[Spyro]

Really digging the ghost megaman. Looks like it will get close combat too.

This definitely gives me Legends: Arceus Noble Pokemon vibes. You're facing a special superboss Pokemon all by itself and you have to aim to take it down, except without the action-RPG style player throwing balms at it (or maybe since Arven is involved in the Path of Legends storyline and is a cook, maybe that will play a role like how you threw balms made of a Noble's favorite food at them in PLA?).

Very interesting to see a Legends: Arceus structure storyline returning in this game as one of three campaigns in addition to the Gym Challenge.

 

[Dusk Mage Necrozma]

So were the “paradox Pokemon” leaks actually just the knights? They’re past and future and they’re somewhat paradoxical (past one has a blaster, future one has a sword)

I'd peg this more as Totem-alike than Noble-alike

Without going into more detail, No

 

[Hyper Cutter]

That said, anyone with more brain than me saw if there's any new confirmed returning pokemon?

Oricorio is new, I think.

Speaking of, shoutouts to this gag:

 

[RoiDadadou]

First, Melo is freaking fucking amazing.
I like both knights, the design feel great.
But I saw a move called Trailblaze, used by Sudowoodo. Apparently Grass type. What the hell is this ?

Okay here me out. According to the french name, it's probably a Grass-type Freeze Dry, effective on Grass.

 

[Magnus0]

I like how Klawf's page needs six different pictures to show how its ability works. Good to know that Pokemon still has wildly inefficient programming.

big image

I couldn't even properly fit everything in one image without zooming out to the point where you can't even read the text anymore...

The collage from the video shows Zangoose (bottom right), Medicham (top middle), Teddiursa (top right), Drowzee (top left), and Tropius (top right).

Also Komala is back.

EDIT: And Oricorio is here. And the trailer showed Goomy and Goodra as well in other spots.

Plot twist: the entire car is the pokemon monkaS

Clearly, they're based on Phantom and Fefnir instead. The paired sequel games will feature green and blue equivalents :P.
