I'm hungry for more info
Well, it matches the shirt on that NPC in the trailer.

Huh. I haven't been keeping up with leaks, but if even half of the things mentioned in this video are true, the games could be quite a change-up.

The talk of there being multiple gimmicks is interesting. I've always felt that "gimmicks" in Pokémon generally refer to battle mechanics, so I wonder what a region gimmick could be.

Does anyone know what is meant by the term "RFakes" as it's used in the video?

Why do artists fake their art as leaks? It feels like nowadays very few people believe their real because of how well known the practice is and it's not like Fakemon art isn't unpopular.

Crazy that aside from the announcement trailer we've only gotten a single 3 minute video since February and we're well into July now.

Patience my friends. One a month is fine and standard. Month is barely a week in

We got spoiled by Sun & Moon and expect too much to be revealed.

Let's let there be surprises

I honestly far preferred the SM reveal cycle since I just look at leaks anyway. I loved the SM hype cycle, the best pokemon hype cycle easily. I still remember 2 or 3 of the biweekly trailers getting randomly leaked on /vp/ the night before in small bits and pieces

I just ultimately want to start planning my party since I normally try to just use Pokémon from the new region.

The sooner I figure out my team the happier I'll be.

Khu has been on a bit of a posting spree, so I'm going to recap and post a lot of it here, maybe in multiple posts to break it up

First set of stuff is referring to GL/E4 types. Basically saying that SV will take 4 of the Gen 1 GL types and 4 of the gen 2 ones. E4 will not be any of the types that have not had an E4 previously(so it rules out Grass, Normal, Fairy, and Electric IIRC).

Khu will tease the champion later this month

male male male female female female female female male male female female
is what Khu says the genders of the GL/E4 will be(not in order)

Next thing is the most exciting imo. Khu is saying that the Flag thing teased in the trailer is another new mechanic/gimmick. and that this gen will be chock full of new systems and mechanics to add to the fun of exploring an open world, which is a great thing to hear!

Last is also some interesting plot stuff being teased:

First Khu is saying a relationship like the one in The Lake House will be in the movie(which IIRC involves communicating between different times

w7ywp37em6a91.jpg


Next Khu is teasing the Villain(V is for villain and later on R will stand for rival):

The leading theory is that it is something to do with Crows based on the word he teased

So they're gonna be like a stylish Yakuza group like that manga?

Or crows...maybe pirates i.e. crows nest.

Last but not least the final teasers Khu just posted today:

y2yyhb5bt8a91.jpg

I think this is saying that robots/androids will be prominent in SV(not the Cage stuff lmao)

nhkdt7jut8a91.jpg

He is teasing the titan rivals here(2 Female and 1 Male) that are similar to rivals from Gens 5/6/8 respectively.

He also seems to indicate that Nemona is going to be a fan favorite and be the powerful one of our rivals(if she is counted among them)

OK dump over

What's up with the use of Titan?

But I have a theory...this game is going to have a full on Mario Kart-esque mini game. With the racing elements we've seen teased, I bet some of the routes will be repurposed as racetracks. Legends already kind of did this with those balloon courses, but I see this being a whole thing in this game.

Imagine having to race each Gym Leader before you face them.

I do think Racing will be a separate system from the GL system going by Khu's hints, but it would be cool to have races scattered around and a big side story related to racing ala Pocket Circuit in Yakuza.

Also Titan is the internal GF codename for SV(think Hayabusa for PLA for example)

Looks like all of the Gym Leaders and E4 will have jobs outside of being a GL/E4, which is always cool.

And hair highlights(my interpretation) will be a common design element

a racing mechanic is overdue. they flirted with such in previous games like Pokeathelon, Sharpedo riding, and the bike time trials

I liked how the Galar Gym Leaders were all sponsored so it'd be cool with me if the Gym Leaders are basically sponsored NASCAR drivers lol with their own pit team and such.
