The legendaries look like Toothless crossed with Astrolotl. Noice.
Completely debunk the "Leaks" about bulls, too.

Surprised their was only a small trailer, but it does look quite nice visually. Two professors are pretty cool, and the designs of characters look great. Not really impressed with the new Pokémon with the exception of Violet’s, and it seems to me they are going back to Dragon.
They feel more like YGO monsters to me, but i like yugioh.
Scarlet looks awesome, but they better not be dragons, we have enough dragon-type cover legendaries.
when did Randall from monsters inc become a cape legendary?
So it's open-world with no set order of routes you need to take
The new mascots are named Koraidon and Miraidon, though their types and other stats are kept secret.
Pawmi (Electric):

Lechonk (Normal):
Smoliv (Grass/Normal):
The green thing is an olive. We might get a botijo after all.
BTW, this is the Venonat line’s first regional Dex since GSC.

Pawmi & Smoliv look "off" to me, in game. Their sugimori artwork is much more endearing to me.
The Lizards are neat though I still want to see them in game and not as mostly static CG emphasizing the fact they are also vehicles. Koraidon I liked better once I saw the artwork and could really make out the details of how the "tire" throatsack meshes with the rest of its body.
Lechonk is baby, love him.

Whoever named Smoliv and Lechonk needs the fattest raise in their pocket this very instant.
I'm glad they fired the ones who came up with Sparkly Swirl and Baddy Bad.
Lechonk is my new favourite mon.
They truly made a Pokémon species named Lechonk (Lechón is the offspring of the pig (cerdo) in spanish, they literally took lechon and added a "k" at the end). The green Pokémon is based on olives, since olive-trees are everywhere in Spain, specially in the south region in Andalucía.
Both legendaries are great, we deserve it since they made the past 2 almost the same (zacian and zamazenta), the 2 profesors are top, the girl is a waifu and the guy is the giga chad meme turned cartoonish.

Quiver Dance Venomoth back to terrorize lower tiers
I set my expectations low, and somehow they managed to make it even worse. Still prefer the Gen 7 and Let's Go graphics over both SwSh and SV, and... who am I kidding? "Lechonk"? Are you kidding me? That's the laziest Pokémon name I think I've ever heard. Those mascot Legendaries also look pretty... ehhhhhhhh
What good things can I say about the trailer? The co-op seems cool, I guess. Looks pretty similar to that of the Wild Area, and we all know how terrible that system ran. Consider this game a hard L for me at the moment. I get that we'll get more trailers later on, but this same pattern of disappointment happens every three years at this point. We deserve better than this, and I truly am sorry if you disagree and like this game's appeal so far.

how the fuck did i predict this
What's wrong with heavy-duty boots?
Anyway, my biggest takeaway was that I just noticed they're not using cel-shading. It looks weird on the Pokémon, but the humans give me Genius Sonority vibes. (Were they involved with New Snap? Because Rita would look right at home in Battle Revolution.)
This is getting a bit into riddler interpretation theory territory, but even without that the legendaries have wheels and thrusters on them, I will not be surprised if they are our mode of transport. (Maybe they'll have prevos like in SM that serve as starting modes of transport, before getting their final full powered forms?)
People still gonna care about that shit? bruh.
I hope.
