Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
Text reads: I have hacked your mobile phone to talk to you does that bother you?
My money's on Penny being the hacker just because I already made the Futaba comparison. View attachment 462899
Another leak cycle, another leaker who is either painfully incompetent at taking photos or just genuinely enjoys the power trip. I shouldn't be disappointed when it happens yet again, and yet I am.
With that aside, Crocalor is absolutely legendary. Best Pokemon ever made 10/10
Can we talk about the powers the food gives? Because apparently the Paldean Paella gives Sinister Giant Power/Gigantic Sinister Power, Egg Power, and Aqua Object Power.
Egg Power presumably makes eggs happen faster or hatch faster, and Aqua Object Power presumably indicates the return of being able to get items from fishing and probably increases the chances.
But, what the hell does Gigantic Sinister Power do?

Probably referring to the actual types based on examples we've seen, so it would increase the chance of finding big Dark types, and the Agua/Water one will increase item drops from Water types.
Incidentally Kaka once mentioned there is no fishing, which makes sense as we've seen pokemon directly in the water.

I've no idea, but I'm sure that paella greatly differs from the original recipe, since i've never experienced those effects after eating one. Maybe the Gigantic Sinister Powers, but that's all.
Maybe I'm imagining things because I'm expecting it to evolve into a dryad, but does Smollive's Evolution's dress look a little like roots? I know it's probably just a leaf dress, but roots would be really cool IMO.
So like what IS Paldean Tauros exactly. It's some black blank-eyed floating monstrosity that is... also pure Fighting? Seriously I can't make heads or tails of this thing
A quick Google Search turned up the source of the nickname: Gazpacha olives are particularly popular in the Mediterranean south of Spain, particularly in the olive growing regions of Andalusia.
Alright, with that out of the way... I wasn't picking Fuecoco ever, so that evo really just solidified it for me. Dolliv is straight up /vp/ bait. Sickening. Flamigo is a funny name because of Brazilian sports reasons, but the mon itself is literally just a flamingo. Paldean Tauros is literally a bad retexture. The spider is also looking fairly puntable.
BUT
Ralts is mad early. Gallade Gang, where you at?
Also, Paldean Wooper is surprisingly early. I guess we'll find out about its evo soon enough.
Regarding the story...
"Predictable" - Geese Howard.
Penny, hack into a vending machine so we can get this shiny Cyclizar an energy drink.
You know i know he always described the Tauroses by their color, but I did expect there to be something else and not have Paldea Tauros (Black) be Tauros....but black in color
And slightly different horns
Always been my least favorite version of regional variants.
The mon looks like it has an inky, sort of slimy coat. It's not just recolored
edit: also no way are the number of legs on a spider an age-rating thing. Have y'all seen a joro spider? it's a beloved japanese species and about as freaky as a spider can reasonably get
Don't know what you mean. /vp/ is just going to post things like "worst Kirlia clone to date," and "mogged by Tsareena," and "reddit-tier pokébait," plus that one Alolan Ninetales closeup used to preface commentaries on interspecies marriage. I don't have it saved, but you probably know the one.
impossible to know with any certainty, given random ivs. Tarountula might have 40 base HP, if it has 10 ivs or less. Or maybe 35 base HP, if it has 12-20 ivs.
So Fuecoco itself had the highest HP of all Fire Starters and worst case scenario is 4th largest HP of all starters (that is only if other Gen 9 starters have higher HP stats)
For perseptive, Rowlet has 68 HP, and Croconaw has 65 HP. It can potentially have the 9th largest HP stats including Fully Evolved Pokemon, which is absurd.

Nope. I went there to check if there were other people with an early copy.
Did I ever mention I despise that place?
At any rate, it's an incredibly superfluous design. Smoliv was obviously designed to be meme material as is, they didn't need to add another plant humanoid right after Hisuian Lilligant.
