Also please make them easily and readily available, at a store, for which i can purchase with money.
Seriously, why does this need to be so goddamn complicated.
If this were real
I can see them ignoring the Mega Forms for the Galarians Forms and give a lame reason why they didn't give those forms a mega evolution
Or
They may go the extra mile and include a Regional Mega evolution. That would be hype and have me giving Game Freak some well earned respect.
I'm just hoping for some good ice types this gen. Regional form or new, doesn't matter to me.
Though I agree regional variants are cool, and even Mega Evolutions were kinda fun for a while, for me nothing beats giving a full new evolution/pre-evolution to an older Pokémon.
But yeah, Galarian forms could be cool. Although I think that kinda worked more for Alola for this concept of being a remote archipelago, so who knows if they'll bring it to Galar. After all, Unova nor Kalos had regional variants.
They nerfed Gengar really bad on Gen 7 by making Cursed Body its sole ability instead of Levitate.
They revise mons every gen.
Started changing the coloration. Isn't this basically just the shiny's color scheme?
Just the fact that all the supposed regional variants are darker colors and/or given weapons, I have to assume it's just a fanboy deviantart fever dream

What the hell why
I thought they just got rid of abilities for let's go, I didn't think they went that far. Poor gengar
Multiple Pokémon had additional or altered abilities: https://www.serebii.net/sunmoon/pokemonabilities.shtml
The only Pokemon whose BST changes actually helped a ton I think is Masquerain, who is now a beast and fast enough to pull off a Quiver Dance without dying, boosting the now decent BSTs to monster degreees.
went from 80 SpeAtk and 60 Spd to 100 and 80 respectively.
Masquerain/Lilligant/Volcarona Quiver Dance Wombo Combo ftw
Made it actually somewhat threatening in the story too, on Guzma's squad
Hell just go ahead and make trade evolutions a choice; add in an 'Evo Stone' to evolve any Pokemon that previously needed to be traded and remove that arbitrary bullshit from a modern game.
I imagine Guzma was the sole reason it was boosted in the first place.
To be fair, Lusamine was way more fucked up than Ghetsis. And I really like that. That's why I think Cyrus, Ghetsis, and Lusamine are good villains.
I h
Hope they retract that, and give Gengar back levitate ability.
Anything against japanese VGC players who use PerishTrap and forfeit the match as soon as turn 1 doesn't go their way is cool in my book.
Dugtrio also got a rather large boost from its +20 base attack.
Can I request that trade no longer be a method of evolution, and those Pokemon would just evolve from levelling like the rest? I don't see what it is about Graveler, Onix or Clamperl that necessitates trading them to get them to evolve.
Or have there be a rare and hard to find "Trade Stone" item as an alternate option
I find Masquerain's stat increases interesting mainly because it is a counterpart to Araquanid, who are both available at different parts of the day, similar to how Parasect and Shiinotic are available on different parts of the day in their encounters. Only difference is that Parasect didn't get a stat boost so Shiinotic is cursed with a low Base Stat Total.
The most surprising stat increase is Cryogonal, which I welcomed since I felt its physical Defence is too low, so now it takes physical attacks far better than before even if it's still not sturdy on the physical front.
Thank you for reading.

My wish would be to have one Stone by type which combines Mega Stones and Z Stones.
Put a Fire Stone on a Charizard? Boom, you can Mega Evolve to M-Charizard Y, OR use a Fire Z-Move!
Dragon Stone ? Mega Zard X or Dragon Z-Move.
There is just too much clutter in the objects.
What do you guys think they could talk about for 15 minutes? Even being generous with time not dedicated to news we still have about 10 minutes of direct left. Most likely scenario is that we get a trailer in the style of the SM ones with a run-through of the details by Ohmori. Could honestly see them talking about the major gimmick though seeing as it is probably tied to all the gyms in the game. Yes i'm aware Z-Moves and Megas were revealed in August
Introducing the new gym mechanic whatever that is, introducing new pokemon, maybe just talking about the regions setting and showcasing some of the areas, maybe show a gym leader or two. Perhaps reveal Galarian forms if that's gonna happen.
Might talk about functionality with Pokemon Home as well, I could see them announcing a bonus or something really far in advance to give people time to do it, like "transfer a Meltan to Sword and Shield using Pokemon Home to get *****"
Yep. Mega Crystals are Z-Crystals for each type which grant mega evos to previous Pokemon, Z-Crystals are for the exclusive moves, and Ultra Stones are new Ultra Evos for pokemon beyond Necrozma which grant a move AND a mega. This also lets new megas and Z-moves happen in tandem, and it would lessen the clutter.
-Professor and Rival
-First Gym and how gyms work
-Legendary Pokemon
-7 Regular Pokemon
-New Pokedex and Pokedevice
Speaking of Attract from Cryogonal, I am curious on what its earlier design look like, since some of the Pokemon have some leftover elements from their earlier designs that weren't changed. Like for example, there's Hydreigon's track-like pattern on its belly, which is confirmed to be an earlier design from a tank. In the same vein, I wonder what Gardevoir's design was like since it is still in the Amorphous group, which is normally reserved for blob-like Pokemon such as many Ghosts, Muk and Weezing.
Thank you for reading.
I hope the player character has emotion in cutscenes and dialogue and doesn't just creepily smile as serious and sad stuff is happening like learning your friend has been kidnapped.
My soul hurts because of the Gengar nerf. Yes Game Freak does go back and adjust some Pokémon. I'm hoping they do that on a mass scale. 🤷🏽♂️

how am I supposed to roll play as a sociopath otherwise?
I don't think so. I've only seen that confirmed with Gastrodon
Same, hoping for a more expressive character and voice acting.
does Lando even need nerfs? is it that pervasive in singles?
also, #BuffIce. just give it a water resistance or something. and increased chance of freezing if used by ice types (same for other statuses) since ice moves get used on everything but ice types
I've always been weirdly fond of Cryogonal, so I was happy to see it buffed. What surprised me more though was that Volbeat and Illumise also got 30 point buffs out of nowhere. Which also made me happy because I'm also weirdly fond of Volbeat (used one in Emerald).
Pretty sure that it's one of the most used Pokemon in both formats.
I'm not saying it needs a nerf but it's strange that GF hasn't tried to lower its usage based on theur previous actions.

Probably a more flowing, voluminous skirt like the mega, rather than the strips of skin it has now. Everyone was so freaked out by sylveon's flesh ribbons, but gardevoir was over here waving around meter-long, hip-mounted flaps of skin for generations before that.
It absolutely does, and Smogon's bizarre refusal to ban it to Uber has broken the OU metagame. It shuts down so many other Pokemon and has so many viable sets that it's incredibly difficult to strategise around; there are very few safe switches into it and all of them can be very easily countered with a U-turn into the right partner. Its only real weakness is its Speed, which can be remedied with paralysis/Sticky Web support or a Scarf
This also. Perhaps Stealth Rock can only stay up for a set number of turns to balance it
at least in doubles (VGC at least) it's usage taken a hit when Intimidate Inceneroar came out. Lando-T still charts high and probably still will until there's yet another pokemon that can do the role or just has a better counter
