Let's be honest, this thread had a lucky string of small news announcements that kept it open longer than it usually would have until the next major announcement. I could go back and look at the previous major announcement trailer for stuff, like taking a close look at that image collage, but that would just be me stretching for stuff to discuss.So, uh how about them S&V games?
or are we gonna keep discussing old inconsistencies in pokemon evolutions and classifications?
Except that's what Pokken is, Pokemon Tekken. Infact I remember people making fun of it being called "Pokken" (which, admittedly to my ear, does sound a bit silly. Like, come on Pokemon, you don't need to abbreviate EVERYTHING with the Pokemon title (which is already an abbreviated word)).Pokemon Tekken sounds so dumb
This aged badly.Not really.
We thought there might be news of another trailer tomorrow but there hasn't been so it's being locked up.
Levels were missing during the attack animations during other footage of battles as well, and it seems like they were just showing us that for the gym leaders.
So the answer to "why are they hiding levels" was simply "the specific parts of gym battles that we saw, jsut do not show levels, for no particular reason"
Apparently it also seems to confirm that the STAB bonus to Same Type Teras is double. So how does the Smogon community feel about that? Still an "insta-ban" kinda thing?Interesting to see that the wild "weird terastalize" are easy to recognize and you don't exactly need to catch literally everything you find.
They also seem to confirm that the intention is for every pokemon to have all 18 Tera types. We kinda suspected it, but I guess this does count as official confirmation.
Still has to be seen how that'll work out for "one of" like legendaries.
Same happened with SwSh and Legends Arceus. If anything you should be surprised if we do see themAlso, we're a little over a month away from release and we haven't seen the starters second form. That feels... odd.
