You know that episode of SpongeBob where Squidward gets a time machine? That's what I feel like with the designs. They're both stereotypical yes, but past designs have more to offer imo: they looked like rugged monsters/cavemen while "everything is chrome in the future".
Understandable, I'll give same answer I gave to Gliwick though: as long as the explanation behind them is fine, I don't think that "X, but robot" is a bad design.
Not as of yet as far as I know. All four of those abilities are still TBD.
This has been bugging me this whole leak season. The fact that Kaka had actual pictures of the starters and cropped them into oblivion, the fact that Khu refuses to give straight info 90% of the time, the 4chan Intro leaker who spammed us with the first 30 seconds of the game, then apparently ceased to exist afterwards.
To be honest... I'll take the glass cannon here. Plus fairy/fighting is a very good offensive typing, very hard to even just wall the stabs other than by poison typing (and i'll be surprised if this thing doesnt get psychic or earthquake or even both).
I don't know about the spreadsheet guy, but for the one posting screenshots of the dex images I have an idea. Given that they're posting images from the dex and we know from how we only have mini-sprites for the Quaxly line, it's likely that the leaker is literally just playing through both games and has to catch/evolve the Pokémon to post them.
I agree with this point, yeah. The spreadsheet guy is probably doing an ego trip thing, but the dex screenshots is 100% someone just playing through the game normally who happened to leak it. That’s why all of the mons so far have been fairly early on/first stages.
It's easier when you think of how IRL evolution works, and how we predict some animals/scenarios to happen in the future. Galarian Corsola is a perfect example of "future" Corsola, unfortunately. A Paradox Corsola would just get a coat of chrome.
Actually, I looked it up out of curiousity, number of non-uber (at the time of the gen) Pokemon with 570+ BST:
They know most people watching trailers intend to buy the game anyway. So their marketing strategy is based around underpromising and over delivering. It’s a way of preventing something like what happened during swsh to happen again.
Heh, reminds me of when they complained that they shown too much of the pokedex and so they decided to show almost nothing in gen 8 and 9.
You forgot Dragonite
Fellas, they're paradoxes—creatures from a past that never happened and a future that will never be. Evolution's got nothing to do with it. They're chrome automatons because they're meant to be improbable or even impossible within the timeline as we understand it. Whether they successfully communicate that point is up for debate, but ideally there isn't a roadmap between our present and these living middle fingers to causality.
That is kinda the point i was trying to make: since they aren't meant to be logical, and we assume they're meant to be from "a future that will not/should not happen", I don't see a issue with "X but robot" design.
Lmao, just woke up. Gonna grind the new infos on the doc.
Ah the OU dilemma: ban everything, or actually let ubers drop since new pokes powecrept the shit out of them?
Nothings been removed, and no nerfs have actually been confirmed. The only nerfs we've heard about were fake leaks by 4chan to mess with Centro.
