So kantonian zapdos wont have tailwind this gen??
I find it weird that the minebros didn't post the new moves' BP yet. It can't be that hard to gather their data, right???
I feel so bad for Spectrier. Like if it had a decent coverage move in literally any type besides Dark (which offers literally nothing Ghost doesn't besides hitting normal types) you could probably make a decent set with two attacks and substitute and nasty plot (or protect in doubles), but right now it essentially has zero coverage of note
Are you for fucking real
Yung Dramps
awesome gaming
Hey! Makes my job at eventually updating my trainer Pokemon spreadsheet slightly easier :p
But yeah I don't think this is a big deal since the content is mainly based around exploration as far as I can tell
Wild Area is cool, music is nice, like the pokemon, whole nat dex thing was bull though
Wow, i literally have never seen hype die this fast ever, not even with the byleth reveal in smash.
That aside i agree with people underating alola: The concept of exploring a region that lacks the general pokemon league system was a really cool concept that im sad people didn't really apreciate

... why do we even have Pokémon in the first place if their only job is to protect us from Wild Pokémon.
Just give me a gun I'll fucking do it myself.
Hey guys, wanna hear something reaaaaalllyy depressing?
This game was dead at the eyes of any true pokemone fan when dex cut happend, but since this game sold more than Smash, they'll fucking do it again
I don't want gen 4 remakes, because they are gonna fuck that up to unbelivable levels
So yeah, 2020 is looking good :'3

Wait has anyone confirmed what the new regi abilities do? Double power ?
To be fair, I think there was a lot of hope put back in the player base after the DLC was announced and that it would fix many of the glaring flaws of the base game (Dexit, no tutors, subpar graphics, etc.). Isle of Armor sorta(?) did that, having more mons and a more varied environment, but it was small, short, and padded with some less than fun content (Watts, Digletts).
So now we had a standard for a Pokémon DLC, and then when the IoA was datamined we found out there were still unannounced Pokémon and that the island was huge and there was some tournament of sorts. So more hype was added to CT and now that we got it, it’s sorta flat? The new Pokémon weren’t what we were expecting and the returning mons got shafted on movesets. I’m sure it’ll still be fun, but it’s not what we expected.
tl;dr: We set our expectations too high, even though by this point we should know better, and got burned and now are salty about it. Circle of Life of Pokemon games.
That's a lot of power, holy crud. Rider form is gonna be nuts.

This map legit feels so fucking awful to navigate too lmao
and for some reason they brought back the 'diglett hunting' mechanic in the form of footprints, but at least you don't have to find all the footprints just some of them, finding enough unlocks the swords trio, they just casually are walking around lmao.

I just fought wild Cobalion and it was... really lame
At first the fight was interesting because it boosted itself quickly and started to do too much damage. But when I had 2 mons left... it started spamming Sword Dance and Sacred Sword against my Ghost type that would have died to Iron Head. Almost as if the AI realized I was losing so it decided to Gary Stu me and not let me lose
Which is lame af, just let me lose. I fucked up, and I shoul be punsihed by it. That was so anticlimactic I swear

Anyone know how to separate Calyrex and whatever horse you chose into their individual mons?
