Now I'm really worried they weren't expecting Legends to do well and Gen 9 isn't using it as a base. Could end up being a more SwSh style game with Legends stuff crammed in there haphazardly after seeing its success.

Please no Gen 9 this year, they need to take as much time as possible to avoid the issues most of the 3D games have suffered from. I can't go back to something like them after Legends.

I don't buy the leak, but those type combinations sure do look like something Game Freak would do

Especially making Hawlucha worse (we already have SirFetch'd!) and not one, but three mono-Grass Regis. It's so dumb, I could believe it

I remember the crushing feeling of disappointment at the Sword and Shield reveal. Whatever it is, at least it can't be as bad as that.

I am still of the belief Gen 9 is next year

Now something else this year, that's possible

What exactly is Khu saying regarding the announcements of the Pokémon Presents?
Click to expand...
Click to shrink...

Earlier today he said the Legends Arceus DLC is meh as it adds no new areas or Pokemon/forms, just some new missions and outbreaks. And said it should be released before April 30th.

Regarding April, he also posted Looker and Palmer some weeks back and said that it was a clue for April, so maybe those are related to the DLC, unless there's something else happening in April.

I don't think he has said anything else about this year, though.

If it launches before April and has only missions and outbreaks, that sounds more like a patch than DLC.

Have we talked about the trademarks Nintendo registered in China earlier in the week that definitely sound like Pokemon names? 'fire crocodile' and 'leaf cat'.

There were three trademarks applied for on the same day, but two of them are the crocodile (62829339 and 62828414).

The contents of the trademarks are not meant to be public yet, but through editing urls you can view the text.

Oh boy. If it is Pokemon, reminds me of the time the trademarks for Mokuroh, Nyabby and whatever Popplio's Japanese name was showed up.

What is the third trademark, though?

Like I added to the post, the fire crocodile is registered twice. No water type to complete a potential trio, unless the second croc is an error of some kind (again, these aren't intended to be publically viewable).

My apologies, I missed that line!

Well it's interesting to think about for moment; I guess we'll see later today if anything comes of it. Thanks for sharing it.

Water starter has been canceled. Also I wonder when we will get fan arts lol
On a more serious note I can't help but notice that both animals have already been starters (gen 2 and 7). It is not unprecedented but 2 at the same time would be.

There's a first for everything! Base game gave us the first regional starters, so maybe we'll get the first instance of starters completely changing types. Gah, now I'm really excited for tomorrow.

Sure. Also base game had already gen 2 and 7 starters. Also the typing is actually the opposite of the gen 2 crocodile and gen 7 cat. So that would make the water starter water snake maybe ?

yeah. my thoughts exactly. I still don't actually think gen 9 is coming this year but if I'm remembering correctly the trademark names for the alola starters were discovered a week or so in advance of the sun/moon announcement

I mean I loved gen 7 and 8 so even if they show gen 9 I'll surely like it, but I can't say I don't hope it's a late 2023 thing. Give us something else this year and take your time to go all out

That sounds like a patch or the start of a season pass, not DLC

A free content update from them announced in a stream like this makes sense, wouldn't even surprise me if it was a little early for DLC

I don't think these are the Gen 9 starters, i could be wrong on this but i think they will be DLC Pokemon with Legends Arecus

The Gen VII starters and Legendaries leaked through similar filings months before they were revealed.

This doesn't necessarily say to me that they're being revealed today (although the odds are shortening on that all the while), but it does tell me that they're closer than a lot of people assumed.
