So they're holding a contest to name a move, just like how Draco meteor was back in gen 4. With the Galar map giving me Sinnoh vibe, all I need is cross gen evolution and I am content.


Armoured Mewtwo redesign.

I'm all over it, I'm hyped!

Also it's coded in Pokemon Go. IMO This
redesign of Armored Mewtwo isn't just made for the movie, i believe it will be present in S&S.
I think it's pretty certain that it's not just for the movie- they'd have left it untouched like every other design if it was.

I don't think it's hinting at a wider mechanic, though.

Remind me, what's the purpose of Mewtwo's armor again? I was under the impression that it was a means to control it.

Yeah, Armored Evolutions remains to be seen. I'm excited for Armored Mewtwo, would like to see a clear full on image soon.

I hope you're prepared to feel disappointed then

I mean, if it becomes yet another form of Mewtwo, fine, but I just don't see other Pokémon getting this kind of "decoration" or mechanic to the point they will look unrecognizable. Plus if they're leaving the movie as it was, this is just tied to Team Rocket / Giovani so I don't see this being the new mechanic from Sword/Shield.

People speculated that Donpahn would be replaced by a new promo Gen 8 Pokemon, and I love that it could well be that possibility. And now let's see if they would have the balls to do so without even showing it until the movie airs.

If there is a new Pokémon replacing Donphan, they could still reveal it from now till the movie premieres. We'll have to wait and see

and Ash Greninja, which was clearly an anime-only deal
What are you even on about?

Ash-Greninja isn't in GO. I never said Ash-Greninja was anime only. I'm giving you two of many examples of GO exclusive stuff to show your statement is wrong and you're countering me with that?

So for the whole Mewtwo-A debate: I assume stuff like those Pikachu costumes have identical stats to Pikachu right? If Mewtwo-A gets more stuff added to go, that could give us more hints if its just a costume or a new forme.

If there's some kind of SW/SH related promotion tied to GO I expect it to be something more accessible than Armored Mewtwo, which smells like weekend limited raid to me.

And I'm saying if GF wanted cross pollination, they'll get it. That's why I started out with "I wouldn't put it past them" with Armored Mewtwo appearing in the main games, despite appearing in Go first

Did you guys see those renders of the characters for the Mewtwo remake movie? They look better than the actual models

I know its a remake of an old as hell movie, but I love how this is literally going to be a movie about how Mewtwo is this ultimate god tier Pokemon, when there are now lots of legendaries that surpass it and even megas of the same pokemon that make its base form useless. I mean, Don't get me wrong, I am in love with witnessing some new that treats mewtwo as this ultimate badass again. It makes me feel all tingly inside.

I noticed we see Bulbasaur dodging a fire attack in a field.

That never happened when he fought Donphan, so...

Brother my brother....

Also, it looked like that Blastoise cannon animation was identical to the one from the Stadium series.

If Mewtwo gets Qubely-style bits it can control remotely I'll be okay with this...

Though Vespiquen KINDA does that already with Combee.

Zaragoza, Spain.
How is this more appropriate than what his armor looked like before? Nothing about this design makes sense. It's just edgy and overdesigned
I prefer a lot the new color scheme. Also, it looks like it does something more than turning Mewtwo into a mindless puppet. It has a weaponized motif, similar to Genesect and appropriate to the character given his origin.

I just want some kind of Pokemon media that's cel shaded and looks like the original 2d artwork, but so much media goes hard in the opposite direction ie. Pokken, promotional videos for tcg or GO, that new Mewtwo movie.

Sword and Shield is the closest thing, but even the cg video for that games starters unveiling was that kind of promo style. Am I just crazy or do people really prefer that?
