Games The Pokémon Thread

[Riku]

Probably yes.

Which I find interesting - while legendaries are cool, I don't usually really use them or "bond" with them since they appear late game. Now it's different.

Though I still hope there is some secret legendary in addition. You know, boss fight kinda thing.

But yeah, loved everything in the new trailer.

I like what I have seen of Scarlet-Violet in today's presentation but I find it kinda strange that they announced the Legendaries as mounts.

Does it mean that we get them early in the series unlike other Legendaries?

It's either like Latios/Latias in ORAS, or maybe they are like your motor cycle and you can't use them in battle until you actually catch them in one of the story lines.

Definitely Violet for me btw.

Miraidon looks so much cooler as a mount .

Yeah, like the red guy's wheels are like just floaties, he runs, so lame lmao.

Btw, crystal shit bullshit gimmick, type change is interesting idea, but hate the presentation and everything around it. Balloons and a chandeliers on the head? Like, yeah, I'm out.

 

[Demonspeed]

Grafaiai looks great!

 

[Kiki]

I am ready to put the cutest pokemons to my fav pokemon list

 

[Riku]

Gen 9: Lamest villain team, but hottest leader.

 

[Demonspeed]

I don't know if a team can be lamer than Team Yell.

That was a cool trailer.

Found all the new Human character designs average but I like the grunt ones for Team Star.

I like Ceruledge's design too. Much better than Armarouge's IMO.

 

[HereNThere]

Sw/Sh really disappointed me as someone getting back into the series since Pearl, but this is really looking much better.

 

[Rikudou King]

So this whole region is one giant school campus? Didn't mind the design of the Team Star grunts, and loved the design of Mela. Seeing as she's called the boss of the fire crew, I'm guessing she's like a lieutenant of Team Star. The champion's design is kind of hit or miss, but honestly all the champions after Cynthia have been that way for me. And kind of done with the whole giant/boss pokemon mechanic, but let's see if there's something new here.

 

[Evil3ye]

There's a lot of things I am done with in this franchise tbh, so trying to expect less and less and keep excitment at the minimum, but with this approach I kind of liked it so far.

Fast battle option is a nice life improvement for grinding (not sure if that was part of official info /analysis vids or spoilers).

I am going to go with Violet, so wonder if the Star team characters will be rehued to purple or stay red.

When I saw the picnic segment of today's trailer and they talked about the eggs I thought that maybe eating Pokemon eggs would become an option .

 

[Demonspeed]

Spoiler

The Starters final evolutions are so disappointing. I don't think I have ever been that disappointed before. There was at least one I found above average in the previous gens but here two are terrible and one average at best.

 

[Riku]

I need better pics to judge. Not too excited, but better first impression that SWORD and SHIELD made, for me atleast.

 

[Evil3ye]

I am still team violet, although the paradox mons look like shiete kinda, the ancient much better desigend, but meh, just gonna suck it up, professor thirst too strong.

 

[Rikudou King]

They don't look that great, but I'll wait til I see them in action before a final decision. I thought Piplup's evolution looked bad, but once I got to play with it, it ended up being one of my favorites.

 

[Evil3ye]

You Guys got an Idea For original playthrough yet?

Picked a Starter? Picked a Team? Doing a Theme Run or Go with the flow and completely blind?

I am thinking to Take the Pokemon types on my First Journey from the eight gyms. Or i saw that there are lot of New Dog Pokemon, so was considering doing a Team of six dogs.

About Starters i have Mixed Feelings about Each choice haha, SwSh flashbacks.

 

[Riku]

Already got mine! They delivered it already couple of hours ago. I'm working though, so won't be able to start until tomorrow.

Sprigatito and go with the flow. But I do want the Girafarig evo in my team.

 

[Demonspeed]

Didn't decide which of the two but it'll be between Fuecoco and Sprigatito.

I'll go with the flow as well..
