Only Gigantamax, no evos. Okay then.

 

[--R]

 

[Deleted member 31092]

Only gen 1 forms, of course.

 

[RochHoch]

God fucking dammit.

Why release new information when they can keep feeding the same EXACT shit in different forms for all of eternity? Fuck this.

 

[Admiral Woofington]

Damn at Thickachu, return of the king. But I'm still getting a Raichu.

 

[Vylder]

Wow.. it's like they are actually trying hard to not get my hyped for this game. :/

 

[Wijuci]

This marketing season suuuuuuuuucks.

 

[Synohan]

Wait. Pikachu is exclusive to those who played the Let's Go games? Am I missing something?

 

[RockmanBN]

Hey you guys like Gen 1? Here's Gen 1 the video.

 

[Charlie0108]

God the marketing for this game has been so bad.

 

[Deleted member 4532]

It will be very weird if Blastoise and Venusaur gets nothing

 

[JimJamJones]

BUTTERFREE IS BASICALLY MOTHRA OH MY GOODNESS

 

[Deleted member 18742]

They look like parade balloons

 

[Shudouken]

Wow.. it's like they are actually trying hard to not get my hyped for this game. :/

Yeah every new info makes me less interested in the game.

 

[cw_sasuke]

Thick Pikachu is back - nice.

 

[diakyu]

Even more gen 1. Thanks I hate it.

 

[OfficerRaichu15]

Oh yay forms for Gen 1. Game Freak's marketing for this Gen has been awful.

 

[PadWarrior]

What a lame update.

 

[ILikeFeet]

another disappointing update

 

[brinstar]

lol

 

[Homura]

You can get a special Pikachu if you have LGP and a special Eevee if you have LGE.
We still don't know if they're the only Pikachu/Eevee who can Gigantamax.

 

[ArchedThunder]

Nothing but some Gen 1 Gigantamax forms... incredibly disappointing.
We're almost a month away, show us some damn Pokemon, some story, some new features, ANYTHING.

 

[Horohorohoro]

Even MORE Gen 1 pandering than people thought there would be! How fun!!!

 

[Aleh]

The designs are great... but... that's it? I wanted more since we're so close to release

 

[KernelC]

Charizard's 3D Model looks significantly worse than his concept art.

And ofc it's a video only about Gen 1. Marketing for this game is absolutely terrible

 

[Siege_Almighty]

Sigh

 

[IHaveIce]

This is the only stuff they showed? Lmao this new cycle is terrible.

 

[Brawly Likes to Brawl]

this is the last info blowout before the games likely leak, folks

 

[Busaiku]

I'm ok with 1st gen getting love.
I'm not ok with only 1st gen getting love.

 

[gunlovefiction]

Gamefreak can fuck off if those forms are only available via let's go

 

[MANUELF]

Gamefreak is making me sick with all the gen 1 pandering

 

[Forkball]

JUSTICE FOR BUTTERFREE AT LAST

Gigantimax forms exclusive to those who played a totally different game is some bullhonky

 

[Spazerbeam]

I'm so unbelievably tired of Gen 1 and even MORE tired of Charizard.

 

[Sgs2008]

Are they really not going to show the starter evolutions. That's a terrible idea

 

[品川駅]

FAT PIKACHU

MY SWEET LOVE

MY KING

I WAITED 20 YEAR FOR YOU TO COME BACK

 

[Faiyaz]

Positives.

Charizard looks SICK. So does Butterfree, especially its animations.

Negatives.

Lol.

 

[Kinsei]

And of course more gen 1 shit with fucking Butterfree.

At this point I'm going to have to assume that the only Pokemon with Gigantamax forms are from Gen 1 and Gen 8. If that's not the case then this marketing cycle has been truly fucking abysmal.

 

[Nightbird]

Just Gen 1...

 

[RockmanBN]

I'm ok with 1st gen gettingvlove.
I'm not ok with only 1st gen getting love.

Hey look Zigzagoon got some love... and that's about it

 

[Ramsay]

Quick question, do Charizard's and Meowth's Gigantamax moves reuse the animations from other Dynamax moves, just with extra particle effects?

 

[Squid Bunny]

If they reveal too much, it's bad marketing.

If they reveal too little, it's bad marketing.

Oof.

 

[Shahadan]

More long ass animations to inflict status effects plz

 

[Zippo]

Even more gen 1. Thanks I hate it.

[Altered]

Miss me with that gen 1 bullshit

 

[Grand Galvantula]

The marketing for these games is a joke.

 

[udivision]

I'm on board and all but this hype cycle seems off.

 

[--R]

The designs are great... but... that's it? I wanted more since we're so close to release

There should be more info in the stream an hour from now.

 

[Horohorohoro]

Honestly, if I wasn't a huge Pokemon fan, I wouldn't be convinced about this. We almost know nothing about this game and it's 100% going to leak in like two or three weeks. This marketing cycle has been a really dumb decision.

 

[Kouriozan]

Masuda, please end our suffering. What a joke is this marketing strategy.

 

[Deleted member 31092]

If they reveal too much, it's bad marketing.

If they reveal too little, it's bad marketing.

Oof.

No the problem here is revealing only gen 1 let's not spin it.
