LordCowCow 840 Posted February 27, 2022 I wish to pet the cat And I have a feeling the duck is gonna be a buffboi Saw something implying the game might be open world, but I'm expecting that more so meaning the world itself is...open, as opposed to LA or BotW style.

The Chayncemaniac 108 Posted March 1, 2022 Here's all the confirmed Pokémon (and likely to be confirmed in parentheses) from the trailer and other screenshots, via Kotaku. Serebii is also reporting that there will not be a national Pokédex in this game. Spoiler Sprigatito, the grass-type starter Fuecoco, the fire-type starter Quaxly, the water-type starter Starly, a flying-type Pokémon that was essentially the Pidgey of Pokémon Diamond and Pearl(Staravia, Staraptor) Hoppip, a grass-type Pokémon with no pupils and possibly no soul (Skiploom, Jumpluff) Psyduck, the water-type Pokémon that needs an IV of ibuprofen (Goldfuck) Petilil, a grass-type bulb Pokémon meant to populate the lower-level areas (Lilligant) Bounsweet, another grass-type bulb Pokémon meant to populate the lower-level areas (Steenee, Tsareena) Combee, a bunch of bug-flying-type bees shaped like of honeycombs (Vespiquen) Drifloon, a ghost-flying-type nightmare (Drifblim) Meowth, the cash-hungry normal-type cat Pokémon (Persian) Pelipper, a pelican Pokémon saddled with perhaps the weakest type matchup: water-flyin (Wingull) Clauncher, a shrimpy water-type Pokémon (Clawitzer) Swablu, an airy normal-flying type who eventually evolves into a kickass dragon (Altaria) Pikachu, because the Pokémascot is essentially mandatory at this point (Pichu, Raichu) Blissey, a normal-type Pokémon with frankly too much HP (Happiny, Chansey) Seviper, a poison-type serpent who’s typically locked in blood feud with its counterpart, Zangoose, not yet seen in any Scarlet or Violetpromotional materials Larvitar, a rock-ground little dragon who’s useless until you hit level 55 (Pupitar, Tyranitar) Magnemite, which ruled when it was just electric-type but is slightly less awesome now that it’s part steel-type too (Magneton, Magnezone) Lucario, the Super Smash Bros. fighter who was seriously nerfed for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate(Riolu) Stonjourner, a rock-type Pokémon that’s essentially an Assassin’s Creed Valhalla set personified Dratini, a classic dragon-type Pokémon who only shows up as a statue in a fountain (Dragonair, Dragonite) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LordCowCow 840 Posted March 1, 2022 Right I should mention, and adding this to OP, but be sure to spoiler stuff from here on out just to be safe. Obviously official trailers are fine since you need to actually click them to see what they say Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cibryll 15 Posted June 1, 2022 Well, the second trailer has arrived. Spoiler Game apparently launches 18 November this year. Looks like our Pikachu-clone this Generation is the pure-Electric Pawmi. We also get the Normal-type Lechonk and the Grass/Normal-type Smoliv. Our Legendary Pokémon this time around are Koraidon (Scarlet) and Miraidon (Violet). Apparently they have powers far surpassing those of other Pokémon. We also have version-exclusive professors Sada (Scarlet) and Turo (Violet), and a rival named Nemona. Unfortunately, we don't have a region name or a "gimmick" yet. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LordCowCow 840 Posted June 1, 2022 Spoiler The fact that we're doing a "past and future" theme is pretty neat. Didn't expect two professors, it made me think how wild it'd be if they do different starter evolution for each game but dunno if they'd go that far. I really like the legends and am unsure which I prefer. Though I worry they'll copy Reshiram and Zekrom typing-wise (granted those are cool typings) I do like the chonky pig but I kinda love Smoliv, it's wiggly expression just perfect Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Phantom Roxas 38 Posted June 1, 2022 Spoiler I'm leaning towards Violet just because blue's my favorite color, and Miraodon does look pretty cool. Different professors is surprising, but nice if they're making more differences like that between the two versions. I think this is the first time we've seen the new starters in 3D? Still absolutely adore Fuecoco. I love that little doofus. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cibryll 15 Posted August 3, 2022 And now we have ourselves a third trailer! Spoiler The region's name is Paldea (not to be confused with "Palkia" or "Dialga"). Paldean Wooper is a Poison/Ground-type. We also have Fidough (Fairy) and Cetitan (Ice). The gimmick is also revealed to be a Terastal phenomenon, and some can even change forms based on their Tera Types. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LordCowCow 840 Posted August 3, 2022 About gimmick and gyms Spoiler The Terastal Pokemon thing seems kinda nutty potentially, am torn if I like how they look. They're silly but I kinda like it. Also apparently you can challenge the gyms in any order but the official site says "You can choose to battle a stronger gym leader" so unsure if it scales which is a shame but for me not the end of world given evidentially gyms are just one part of this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cibryll 15 Posted August 21, 2022 (edited) And then we have some news. Spoiler We got a new Dragon/Normal-type, Cyclizar. Some new moves, abilities, and items. Covert Cloak covertly protects the holder from the additional effects of moves (it's mentioned on the website though?) Loaded Dice item makes multi-hit moves more likely to hit more times Mirror Herb item mirrors opponent's stat changes, but only once Shed Tail sets a substitute then switches out Terablast changes type based on Terastallisation, and (according to the website) deals damage based on either the user's Attack or their Sp. Attack, whichever is higher. And the return of some Battle Stadium thing. Edited August 21, 2022 by Cibryll Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LordCowCow 840 Posted August 22, 2022 Honestly pretty excited for Spoiler Shed Tail, seems fun. I always like the "switch" moves so another one to play with is neat Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cibryll 15 Posted September 1, 2022 Even more news! Not a lot, though, but it's still something. I Link Summon this link! Spoiler Grafaiai is a Poison/Normal-type, and a Toxic Monkey Pokémon with Unburden or Poison Touch as possible Abilities. This is the first official Poison/Normal-type, I think? Weak against Ground and Psychic, resists Poison, Bug, Grass and Fairy, immune to Ghost, and neutral to everything else. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cibryll 15 Posted September 7, 2022 Sorry for the double post, but another trailer has arrived! Attempted summary for those who can't (or don't) wanna watch the video. Spoiler Three new Pokémon have been revealed. Klawf is a Rock-type that has either Shell Armor or Anger Shell as an Ability. The new Ability drops the user's Defense and Sp. Def by 1 stage, but raises their Attack, Sp. Atk and Speed by 1 stage, when its HP drops to 50% or lower. Armarouge is a Fire/Psychic-type with the new Special Fire-type move Armor Cannon which deals damage, but lowers the user's Defense and Sp. Def. Like the Larvitar line, Stonjourner and Koraidon, however, this Pokémon is exclusive to Scarlet. Ceruledge is a Fire/Ghost-type with the new Physical Fire-type move Bitter Blade which deals damage and heals the user by up to 50% of the damage inflicted. Like the Bagon line, Eiscue and Miraidon, this Pokémon is exclusive to Violet. Moreover, a Grass-type Gym Leader, Brassius, has been revealed. There are three stories - the first is Victory Road, where you go to various Gyms to achieve the Champion rank. The second is Path of Legends, where you help Arven research and find special ingredients, guarded by Titan Pokémon (they're much larger than usual). Klawf is one such Titan Pokémon. The third is Starfall Street, where you have to make stars fall from the sky have to stop Team Star, a group of the school's most rebellious students, but these are split into various squads with their own bosses. You can have your Pokémon exploring with you out in the field, but this time, you can even send it on its own in any direction you choose. So it'll find items and even battle wild Pokémon and Trainers, apparently. During these automatic battles, you don't need to interact with it while it's going on - so you can look for items while progressing in the meantime. Auto Battle victories earns items and experience points. … Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LordCowCow 840 Posted September 7, 2022 In regards to new Mons, and mechanics Spoiler I dig all the new Pokemon honestly, but edgelord is my second favorite so far, first being Smoliv, it's so extra. Also has a fire type draining punch which is neat. The autobattle thing is fun and I like it seems it's optional along with the walking with the pokemon? Which is pretty cool. Also something neat was how the Grass gym leader used the crystals on a non-Grass type, opens up a lot more options for gym leaders so that's a nice usage of gimmick.

Cibryll 15 Posted September 29, 2022 And we get another trailer revealing… Spoiler A new Water-type Pokémon, Wiglett. Apparently not a Paldean Diglett, this Pokémon has Rattled and Gooey as its possible abilities-- or rather, possibilities. I… don't see a way to make a table on the forums. Hm. Oh well~ For the new Pokémon revealed so far, we have: 4: Normal 3: Fire 2: Grass; Water; Poison; ??? 1: Ice; Fairy; Electric; Ground; Psychic; Ghost; Rock; Dragon 0: Bug; Dark; Fighting; Flying; Steel We have one known regional variant (Wooper) and 16 new Pokémon. So yeah. (Also using ??? for those whose types aren't revealed yet - namely the mascots.) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LordCowCow 840 Posted September 29, 2022 New Pokemon thoughts Spoiler Wiglett is perfect. It's goofy and didn't expect it to be Water type but that's pretty cool. Especially cause I want it on my team. I love the idea that it's definitely not a Diglett variant So far the three I'm thinking of using (though could change my mind on a whim when actually in game) are Smoliv, Ceruledge, and Wiglett Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cibryll 15 Posted October 6, 2022 And another new trailer revealing… the power that's inside. Spoiler Girafarig gets an evolution, Farigiraf (another palindrome) and it's a Normal/Psychic-type? It gets Armor Tail (Pokémon can't use priority moves on it) and Cud Chew (eats a held berry a second time at the end of the player's turn) as its Abilities. There's a TM machine that you can use to create TMs (using materials found in Paldea, as well as League Points), though you can only use each TM once (but you can craft multiple of them). There's a Picnic mode. So you can take photos with them, you can feed 'em food (with special effects such as HP restoration), you can play with them (and apparently if you've got two compatible Pokémon out, you can find a Pokémon Egg--!?) aaaaand you can clean them. Tera Pokémon can sometimes be found in the wild, with a special aura around them. (Wonder if Lucario can detect these.) The current totals, unless I regally messed up somewhere far away from Paldea (like the Pokémon world's version of South Africa), is… 5: Normal 3: Fire 2: Grass; Water; Poison; Psychic; ??? 1: Ice; Fairy; Electric; Ground; Ghost; Rock; Dragon 0: Bug; Dark; Fighting; Flying; Steel We still have one known regional variant (Wooper) though we've got 17 new Pokémon (with known names, at least).

Cibryll 15 Posted October 14, 2022 Forgive the double post~ Yet another new trailer revealing… a shocking discovery. Hide contents Paldea's Electric-type Gym Leader, Iono, has the new Electric-type Bellibolt as a partner Pokémon, and it gets the new Electromorphosis Ability, which raises the power of its next Electric-type move after it gets hit by an attack. I'm wondering if this power boost is the same as using the move Charge, or if those would stack (in which case that could be devastating). Iono was revealed on Wednesday, though that's all that's new in that trailer. She's a professional streamer and influencer. The current totals… 5: Normal 3: Fire 2: Grass; Electric; Water; Poison; Psychic; ??? 1: Ice; Fairy; Ground; Ghost; Rock; Dragon 0: Bug; Dark; Fighting; Flying; Steel Known regional variants: 1 (Wooper) New Pokémon with known names: 18 … huh. Can't close spoilers in preview mode. Didn't know that. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LordCowCow 840 Posted October 15, 2022 The new gym leader and Pokemon are simply perfect that is all Gonna be hard to choose a team I feel Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Chayncemaniac 108 Posted October 16, 2022 Love the design of the latest Pokemon shown... but am I the only one that thinks it's name is a bit on the lame side? I love that they teased the new gym leader could possibly be a Steel type leader with the Magnemite hair bows or whatever as well Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Chayncemaniac 108 Posted October 28, 2022 So... the other day, Pokémon revealed yet another new Pokémon for ScarVio... and here is that video My thoughts Spoiler Love the name, the Pokédex entry is WAY dark. I wonder if it's gonna have an evolution Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Chayncemaniac 108 Posted November 6, 2022 Another new reveal Spoiler My thoughts Spoiler Our new collectathon 'Mon. I love the mimic chest idea! It's rumored to evolve when you collect 999 coins as well https://youtu.be/-nzi0S3NGzg Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cibryll 15 Posted November 8, 2022 And so, another bit of news is revealed. No shadows being devoured by even darker shadows here, though-- Spoiler Two new Pokémon have been revealed, apparently "Great Tusk" (Scarlet) and "Iron Treads" (Violet), who will be investigated with details from version books apparently. The first Tera Raid Battle event is announced - a Dragon Tera Type Charizard, available from 2 December to 5 December and again from 16 December to 19 December. Yep, we're getting Charizard again. (No idea if Venusaur or Blastoise are gonna join in the fun at any point though.) Eevee will be in a Tera Raid Battle during an Eevee Spotlight event, from 25 November to 28 November. If you have save data for the other Pokémon games on the Switch, you'll apparently get special Rotom Phone cases. Connectivity with Pokémon HOME is due for Spring 2023, so until then, none of them will be going home, I guess. There's also going to be a first-day patch required for online functionality (and it's 1 GB). Also a warning to those that do not want to be spoiled: apparently some things about the games have leaked (again). I don't know when Mario will get around to fixing those pipes though, but either way, some sites may be best avoided until after the games release next week Friday.

The Chayncemaniac 108 Posted November 8, 2022 I love that ghost types are getting lots of love in the reveals this generation. Yes I realize neither of the 2 newest reveals are ghost (likely 1 ground and 1 steel) but the ones before it are ghost and I might be running a ghost team once the game launches Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
