How many times does this have to be said, the map is not a 1 to 1 representation of the actual in-game map...

Same here, in spain we love our dark humour and laughing at us.
Also I would love a future pokemon España as it was rumoured for gen 8 a year ago for a future gen. But I suppose they will go africa, south america or australia next.
As someone noticed in 4chan (yeah, that place)

You'll never stop saying it and people will never stop calling the map linear. You can make the same claims with almost every other gen saying it's linear, or a circle. We've already seen that the map isn't 1 to 1 in several cases but people will still see it and jump to conclusions.
I have a feeling the snow area is gonna be a surprise because of how small it seems compared to the rest of the region. Like the mountains must be explorable or there could be a cave or two hidden away.
Shouldnt be only Spain but Iberia. Spain + Portugal would be quite nice.
This is like arming a baby with a pistol. Stop giving Game Freak ideas!You know this to be true in your heart of hearts...
(damn that's a funny pic)
That's a pretty good theory. I'm not a fan of sport theme Pokémon after Passimian. It'll definitely fit for this region. More so then my theories.
My hope is, Scorbunny evolves into a Fire/Electric Type with one of two hidden abilities the first being that it powers up all of its Fire/Electric moves or the Second would be a HA that gave it Fighting STAB similarly to Dhelmise ability giving it Steel type STAB.
I think its Final Evolution to looks like a Punk Fighting Type. A extremely fast Fighting looking type, as in the fastest starter to date, faster then Greninja. Why? It's a Rabbit, In real life rabbits rely on their speed and agility to survive. All of its Fire and Electric attacks coming threw its arms/hands like in a anime.
The bulky tank would go to Sobble. This one is out there but I see it's final evo being a Stegosaurus or Kentrosuarus. Stego - slow tank and Kentro - slightly faster tank. Water/Steel
Grookey - King Kong final evolution. Grass/Dark or Grass/Fighting insane physical attack with good speed.
Doubles didn't exist until Gen 3 and the first VGC was in 2009 using Platinum, so technically doubles hasn't always been the go-to format.
As for Battle Spot Special, it's a neat idea for a seasonal ladder but has no long term staying appeal. One of the best parts of competitive Pokemon is continually improving oneself. It's a bit like fighting games but turn-based instead of real-time. You don't come up with new formats in fighting games every so often because it takes time and effort to learn and adapt to the new format on a high level. People might also have trouble comprehending all the formats and it will take more time to match people with specific rulesets. Similar to what Smash Ultimate experiences.
What I would propose is having the option to change clauses and allowed Pokemon when battling friends, like Smash currently offers, and having a number of standard rulesets when battling strangers (VGC, 3v3 singles, 6v6 singles, triple, rotation to name a few) for rated matches. GF can then extrapolate the data to see which ones are the more popular formats and go from there, balancing the metagame with patches every now and then if needed. Battle Spot Special can still co-exist to offer something more unique.
I'd love to see a Fire/Electric Scorbunny. But really, anything that isn't The Type Combination That Must Not Be Named is fine.
Faire enough, didn't know that.
Following up on this I just connected the dots that the Snow Mountains are like the Lake District down South. Both have isolated settlements that require the train, which has similar stations no less, to gain access to the rest of the region. So in this regard, the Snow Mountains will be the second open worldish area of the game, with lots of trainers, Pokemon, hidden crevices for items and what not find, etc.
Fire/Electric would be cool too, yeah. Not sure on Water/Steel or Grass/Fighting, Game freak have been spot on in avoiding previous typings for the final stages and I don't see them stopping that.
...it's a mountain range. There's no way to even determine that from just the map. People still don't realize the map is missing details?
I can see the Grookey going Grass/Rock and becoming a Rocker, Groove+Monkey, drumstick in its hair and so on. Rock also has its root in UK.
Fire/Electric for Scorbunny would be nice, I imagine it as some sort of duracell soccer bunny.
Sobble is the hardest to pin down; we know it's timid and is good at hiding...somekind of Water/Ghost secret agent maybe?

Is anyone else stoked at the prospect of having 3 large cities to explore? I hope they are well designed this time with plenty to explore in them. Hopefully they take more inspiration from Castelia City rather than Lumiose.
I'm unsure what to expect in terms of scale in these cities. They don't look that big on the map, but obviously it's not 1:1
I was more refering to the really old Japanese only tournaments that predated VGC. In gens 1 and 2, they used a 3v3 singles format, with some very odd rules such as having a "combined level limit", which led to some mons being level 55, and anything below that down to level 50 (this is where those Pokemon Stadium rulesets come from actually).
Otherwise, I wholeheartedily agree with your idea for the ladder. I'd love it if gamefreak took a more active approach to balancing stuff throughout the gen, instead of waiting until the next gen to balance things out like they usually do. Also, while it may seem like I may be ragging on 6v6 singles a bit, I think it'd be a great addition to have that as a rated ladder! I'm particularly curious to see how it'd develop compared to Smogon's version (OU).
On an unrelated note: after seeing that supposedly leaked Scorbunny final evo (I'm still skeptical of it), it did awaken something inside me: I'd love a fast Fire / Steel type Pokemon. Last gen, Kartana really showed me how much mileage you ca get out of having a faster, more offensive take on a defensive typing!
Yep. I have a feeling they will have two side areas in the mountains over here:
I think Kalos would connect via the trains. The path you mention goes into the forest, which is covered with clouds that were added after the map was drawn. Something is being hidden there, but I think its leading to a post game area that has not been shown off yet as an extension to the map. And yes I think both that area and Kalos will coexist.
I want to be excited but the static camera angles put a damper to that
I prefer the simplified colour palette. I think the orange in it's design is what is currently stopping me from picking Grookey over Sobble.Anyone else think Grookey would look better with a simplified color palette?
Actually, I think it should be the reverse, with an orange tail and ears.Anyone else think Grookey would look better with a simplified color palette?
Anyone else think Grookey would look better with a simplified color palette?
I'm going to have to go with no, the simplified palette one looks notably less appealing at a glance but I can't really explain why exactly.
Mother of god. Please no!You know this to be true in your heart of hearts...
That's actually a lot betterAnyone else think Grookey would look better with a simplified color palette?
Nah looks boringAnyone else think Grookey would look better with a simplified color palette?

What da fudge is this monstrosity!?
I agree with you. The tagline "forge your own path" even suggests a degree of nonlinearity.
My guess is you can basically do the first three Stadiums (Grass, Fire, Water) in any order, perhaps recommended to be tackled in a certain order based on the starter you choose.
Then, once you beat all three, the wolf-shaped gate opens up the electric/steel city, and you can do those five Stadiums in any order you wish (Ground and Fairy to the west, Poison and Ice to the east, and Electric/Steel).
Then you're allowed to board the train to the snowy summit and cross over into the futuristic city, where the Psychic Dome (final badge), and Victory Tower (Elite 4) await.
...
Anyways, I just thought it might be fun. If anything it does provide 7 letters of a possible alphabet. Another thing giving a bit of credence to this theory is that you can see in other parts of the trailer writting using the same style and even seeing "E" pop up quite often leading me to believe it decrypts into English (where letter E is most common letter for words) which would also make sense, because Galar is based on the UK
This properly grabbed my interest, so me and my colleagues have spent our lunch break decoding. We've gone through every snippet of footage, now Era, help us crack the code!

I think it'll happen eventually. It's a prime location.
Just like Australia and Brazil. I think they're all inevitable.
I personally want a region based off of the Great Lakes. Ontario and Michigan. Niagara Falls.
Yeah that looks noticeably better for me. Its a bit garish, but there is an appeal there in a roundabout so bad its good kind of way, if that makes any sense.Like this?
I'm obviously biased, but Brasil would be incredible. The variety of environments and types of Pokemon would be insane. I will create a thread at some point in the future.
