What the Eff is this bike?
Speed bike. Rotom merges with bike to make it go Flash fast
So is dynamax kinda their way to bridge the gap and attract Pokemon Go players with raid battles? Thats what I thought of immediately. Hope its actually fun... but its a strange mechanic and I don't think I would have EVER put that in the game... kinda lame.
They did say some Pokemon will chase you down so I can see this being an obstacle you have to get past.
The thing I don't like about the Wild Area (already complaining lol) is that I know for aesthetic purposes it looks great that Pokémon such as Tyranitar or Milotic appear, but I've always felt that it's kinda lame that you can catch fully evolved Pokémon that easily. I think those Pokémon should only be obtained through evolving or trading.
Gym leaders, rivals, Elite 4, and probably regular trainers will be Dynamaxing, so you probably can't avoid it.

The game's visuals oscillate from good and to incredibly bad at times. With all the money they are making with Pokemon, it baffles me that even when transitioning toward a quasi open world design, they wouldn't make more efforts from a production point of view. I say this as someone who was never interested in Pokemon, but definitely could be if it was more... ambitious maybe?
They mentioned that some won't be catchable (or was it even visible) until you've beaten the associated raid encounter.
Since the wild area seemingly connect most towns does it mean we can go to any town at any time? that could be cool.
This looks pretty good. I'm much happier with the visuals here than in the last announcement. I'm indifferent about dynamaxing and I don't love the legendary designs, but they may grow on me. Corviknight is really cool.
Is the Wild Area meant to be a reference to the green belt?

and controlled camera in the wild.. what a day to be alive.
So the Champion will turn out to be a villain, right? Could open up for an interesting plot since the rival is his little brother.
I'm guessing there's a cloud above and the entire area is in shadow. The tree should have darker area under it though.
Knowing GF they will likely make it hard to get Pokemon like Tyranitar, espeically early on.

If you need an emulator to make a PS2 game look better then I your entire claim falls apart.
very cool, this could become the best Pokemon game ever.The "Wild Area" is just one area. It's large, but there's only one.
the website makes it sound like one area that can be accessed from almost anywhere since it's in the middle. once again, why does it matter if it is 1 or 1000 if the size is huge? (we don't know how big it will be)
I thibk we need to wait and see, Pokemon games are typically easy and have a children auficience to consider. They could easily have said something like that about mega evos. I suppose raids might also support that but again, I think we need to wait and see, perhaps those raid pokemon will be stronger because I don't see why one person using the dyna Raichu couldn't just beat it themselves.
Yeah. Maybe in tall grasses you can't see them. That would be cool.
