Would be a great addition. Lugia was the master of the birds, right?
It'd fit right in.

Yo so what are you guys hoping for the galar formes of the legendary bird trio?
Personally, I'm actually hoping Articuno and Moltres drop their Ice and Fire typings respectively. Moltres actually might be sorta ok with Dynamax now a days, but the typings just do NOT gel well with Flying otherwise, and I think Moltres in particular will struggle to compete with Charizard and Volcarona, so I view these galar formes as a second chance of sorts for Articuno and Moltres.
I sorta want Articuno to be Steel / Flying actually. Yes, thats the same typing as Corviknight, but I think it can differnciate itself from Corviknight by being a Special Attacking variant, especially if Celesteela doesn't come back. Plus, if its like Galarian Darmanitan, it could have access to Ice-type attacks, which honestly sounds GREAT for that typing when Landorus-T and Garchomp come back!
As for Moltres... as an Ubers fan, I'm sorta hoping it becomes Yveltal junior with a Dark / Flying typing. It's an excellent typing, its just that Mandibuzz focuses purely on defense, while Honchkrow if that comes back is fairly frail. Having a decently bulky Dark / Flying with good power and maybe Will-O-Wisp like Moltres would make it have the potential to be pretty damn good!
As for Zapdos, honestly Zapdos is the only legendary bird that's been damn good in most games, so I don't think Galarian Zapdos needs to redeem Kantoian Zapdos like the other two imo, so I'm not really sure what I want beyond "make it different than Zapdos" lol.
Galarian Articuno - Psychic/Flying
Galarian Zapdos - Fighting/Flying
Galarian Moltres - Dark/Flying or Ghost/Flying
If it is Dark Flying we will have the spiritual successors of our legendary Psychic Fighting Dark Trio:
(Ignore the Gen 6 starters, those were only secondary typings)
Also, the laser thing looks like an ice beam.I think they're just beam-things
Has the same color as his laser beams
Nihilego for me lol.After Zacian and Zamazenta I decided to stop trying to guess legendaries' typings lol
Nihilego kinda had an excuse, being an ultra beast and all. They should have went more crazy with the typings
Yes this is highly likely too and would be my next best guess, though i think they'll keep their flying types. I'm 60/40 on it. But I'm almost sure it's going to be some combination with psychic, fighting and dark. Maaaybe ghost instead of dark but more likely dark.Might be me jumping to conclusions, but I thought the Galarian legendary birds were pretty much going to be:
Articuno: Ice/Psychic
Moltres: Fire/Dark
Zapdos: Electric/Fighting
Well, it is the same in English, Articuno, Zapdos, and Moltres. Artic, Zap and Molten, with the spanish names for 1, 2 and 3.I don't think the birds will lose their original primary types, otherwise their names would make no sense anymore. They're literally called Thunder, Fire and Freezer in Japan.

I think it is Ice/Psychic. The pose is very similar to mewtwo, but the attacks shown look ice related.
If I were to guess, they don't have the Flying type, but Ice/Electric/Fire with another one.
There are aquatic pokemon without water typing. So a bird without flying typing wouldn't be too weirdIs there any bird Pokemon thats clearly a bird without Flying type?
Galarian Farfetch'd?Is there any bird Pokemon thats clearly a bird without Flying type?
Decidueye, Blaziken, EmpoleonIs there any bird Pokemon thats clearly a bird without Flying type?

I'm so happy they went all in with the open areas. Only thing left now is getting them to look good lolI hope that cave is not just a corridor...but my expectations are low. I love the exploration outfit.

Sulfura is due to Sulfur, the element that makes volcanoes smell like they do, I suppose it has a similar name in French.French names are so fun.
ArtikODIN, ElecTHOR, and, hum, Sulfura (i don't get it).
As for the typings, my guess is they will loose the Flying type (and maaaaybe gain Levitate as their ability).
Not that I know of. Delibird and Doduo/Dotrio are flying but their real life counterparts can't fly.Is there any bird Pokemon thats clearly a bird without Flying type?

I wonder if they're testing the waters with these expansions for a fully open-world Pokémon title in the future. The choice to have the entire islands be open like the Wild Area but with caves, buildings and towns is a far cry from the Wild Area, which is, really, just a big open route connecting two cities.I'm so happy they went all in with the open areas.

some AO would do wonders here. as well as some damn shadows cause these characters are fucking floating. this is some 360 shit hereSo true, the surroundings of that regi temple look....rough. I hope the jump from gen 8 to gen 9 is as notable as the jump from XY to SM was.
Not necessarily fully open world but basically like DQ11 is my guess, multiple areas like these + open cities and townsI wonder if they're testing the waters with these expansions for a fully open-world Pokémon title in the future.

All of the footage looks pretty unpolished, but the Regi temple looks straight up unfinished. Crown doesn't come out for almost a year, so hopefully it looks better when it releases.So true, the surroundings of that regi temple look....rough.

It's definitely gonna be just more wild area-tier stuff, I don't think it's gonna be some big shake up to the game or anything, just a vehicle for more content.Honestly the in game footage really dampens my excitmenet. All of this looks just as bland as the wild area.
Hopefully these new areas are much more lively and interesting.
These new areas are already better because we know they have actual buildings in them, and actual caves/hidden passages instead of being just a field. And the new explorable dens are quite a big upgrade even if we have yet to see how they workIt's definitely gonna be just more wild area-tier stuff, I don't think it's gonna be some big shake up to the game or anything, just a vehicle for more content.

Ho-oh is better for a reasonThe jobber of the birds you mean
*grumbles over the 2nd Pokemon movie
Don't get me wrong I think there's gonna be plenty of fun to have in it. I'm excited, I just don't expect it to be anything that turns around the folks who disliked Sw/Sh's stuff.These new areas are already better because we know they have actual buildings in them, and actual caves/hidden passages instead of being just a field.

Maybe there's no Viking god for fire and volcanoes?Yeah i get that.
What I don't understand is that two of them refer to Odin and Thor, and not Sulfura, as far as I can tell.
