Wednesday can't come soon enough, the internet is unbearable with all the 'leaks' amd rumors.
You know it's going to be like it until November.

Except as we get more Pokémon revealed, people will fake evolutions/pre-evolutions of them and use them for their fakes.

Being a special attacker would be essential, unless they suddenly added a bunch of solid physical electric type moves that aren't restricted to certain lines. STAB Flamethrower/Fire Blast and Volt Switch, decent coverage moves (Focus Blast would probably be one), maybe Nasty Plot or Taunt if it's fast enough. Surge Surfer or a general use version of it would be a good hidden ability, but I doubt they'll let any of the -chus lose an exclusive.

We need a new eevee-like pokemon that's somehow a "squire" that can evolve into different types that are each based on one of the knights of the round table.

this will never happen

I like rare Pokémon that are actually rare or that are found in uncommon ways. The only problem is when you're doing the weird thing they require but then they still have a low rate. If you have to, hide them even more but then make the encounter rate decent lol

I'd prefer them be in hidden areas or out of the way "dungeons", but with a high encounter rate once you get there.

It's a mark of pride for backing our Detective Pikachu brother in the box office.

Unfortunately it sorta turned out like this:

Never bet on Pikachu for anything.

They even screwed up Pikachu in Lets Go, it wasnt very good there, while Eevee was legtimately a good Pokemon thanks to its unique moves! Well, good in the context of Lets Go anyways, I probably wouldn't use that Eevee if it somehow (I highly doubt it will) got into Sword and Shield unless Eeveeium Z was compatible with it lol

I mean, if there was a bet on Pikachu to make, it's sales. Most of the charts literally only have LGP in it, LGE fell off entirely.

I await to see the Avatar that'll be picked for the Alolan League bet thread if Ash will win or lose.

Well at least it's fun to read, but it's way too much stuff for 15 minutes.

I think a lot of the content in there, if it's real, will be really glossed over. Like Photo Mode or the new battle types, that can be resumed in 30 seconds or so. Talking about the new characters wouldn't take more than 2 minutes too.

I have the impression we will only see a new eeveelution if it's a new type in the game.

I wouldn't place my bet on new evolutions either, discounting Sylveon and Megas, the last time we had that was three gens ago. I think GF is actively avoiding it.

I'm thinking Gamefreak is not going to be introducing any past-gen evolutions anymore outside of Eevee on the basis they now have megas and regional variants to work with, and knowing them we could see another crazy new mechanic or Pokemon variation. I think Gen 4 was overall pretty successful with its entries though (outside of Gen 1, eh..) and there's a few Pokemon I could think of that seem unfinished and evolution worthy (will anyone ever give Farfetch'd the love it deserves??)

I feel like Eviolite is the main reason we don't see cross gen evos outside of Eevee anymore. Fuck that item.

I always felt like gen IV was meant to be the ultimate generation, a bookend to the part of the series based in Japan, where they completed every evolutionary line they wanted, introduced the creation myth of their universe, and rebooted everything with BW.
I'd love for this gen to be the equivalent for the last ones. We'd get evos for mons from gens V - VII, another 720 BST monster, or something like that. Tons of Kalos mons really could use a third member in their lines.

Are there any old threads with reactions to Arceus' reveal/existence? Or would a 720 BST monster not have actually made much waves back then?

"A Pokemon who dares to attack the Glacier Guard will be frozen."

At least try to make the fake sound like something Game Freak would do.

One of the worst parts of the spaceworld leak was seeing Farfetch'd have an evolution and then getting no follow through on it in gen 4.

Some day, Madame, some day....

Y'all say Eviolite is blocking further evolutions, but we could still have branch-evolutions like Slowking, Gallade and Froslass without breaking the Eviolite rule.
