Anyone else think Fosko and Frijolito are the same person on 2 accounts? Going to be some serious crow being consumed in a couple of days.

Well, what if GameFreak revamps the base stats of old Kanto pokemon along with their movepools. I think the likelyhood of this is high, as this will make Kanto pokemon more popular in the competetive scene, something I think GameFreak wants to achieve. If GameFreak would do that, then we could essentially have three new eevolutions: Vaporeon, Jolteon, and Flareon. Imagine Flareon having a base stat of 65 / 135 / 75 / 65 / 85 / 115 (instead of 65 / 130 / 60 / 95 / 110 / 65), thereby having a total base stat of 540, an increase of 15 from 525.
It's still Flareon. BST doesn't matter to the majority of people that play Pokemon.

I'm thinking about what things will add that will allow us to interact with our Pokémon.

To caress them, feed them and cure them status condition in S / M is supercute

This doesn't change the issue of them excluding more than half of Eevee's evolutions (and other evolutions of Gen 1 Pokemon).

Remember Andre from Gamexplain said there was six embargos today.

We got so far
-Mega Man 11
-Splatoon Octopath Expansion
-Mario Tennis
-Street Fighter
-Yuku Express Island
And Octopath

Just disregard!

15-18 million is cool. You know what's cooler? 47 million. That's what gen 1 sold.

And you know what the remakes of Gen 1 sold? Under 12 million copies. So if you think that a 3D version of Kanto will magically sell 47 million copies again then you are wrong. Pokémon when it came out was a phenomenon and there is no way it will ever be recreated.

That has literally nothing to do with the original 151. Nothing. It was a lightning in a bottle phenomenon that's never going to be recaptured.
Do not underestimate the power of:

New $60 Price + Gen 1/Pokemania Nostalgia + Pokemon Go Conversions + Pokemon fans that will literally buy any Pokemon Game (99% of Era)

It's funny because I bet most genwunners love pokemon like scizor, umbreon, steelix, togepi, etc, but those will all be deleted.
And having to wait for them for god knows how long is utterly dumb. They should be available from the beginning, people probably won't be able to transfer from Bank because they don't have the patch or whatever

You guys seem to think that I'm trolling, but I'm not. I flourished a bit of that post but I'm serious about the 151 being tops, which I know is not a popular opinion.

Wait a second, how many more hours until this "Japanese TV Show" airs?

EDIT: Nvm, I just read. Ignore me.

Hey guys,

I know you're reaching your boiling points and are very desperate for information. I'm here to give you guys some! You guys don't know me, but I'm actually a custodian at Gamefreak's offices. Between JO sessions after hours, sometimes I go and check out what they're working on.

Just yesterday, I logged in to Yuki Fukishimi Nagasaki's PC and saw that the game's titles are indeed correct. They are called Let's Go Pikachu/Eevee.

I also found out that they are the only two pokemon in the game. You basically just catch a bunch of Pikachus and Eevees with different goofy outfits on. Some are black, white, asian, hispanic, etc. There are even trans pokemon. This is why a lot of leakers are saying it will be very divisive and mixed when it comes to reactions.

It will only be on mobile and is replacing GO, and you have to have a Windows phone to play it for the first year because of timed exclusivity.

I hope this tides you guys over until tomorrow when the big blowout is!

I'm ok with the original 151 at first as long as they sell us DLC packs at $20 each or less for future generations.

I think he's the guy who has inside information. According to him we'll get the Pokémon news in 7 hours and 16 minutes from now or so.

What do you mean by "the" guy who has inside information? Sorry, I haven't been present in this thread until recently.

Has he said stuff in the past that came true, and what was it?

Also thanks for the quick response.
