Gameplay wise it seems like a huge step back from Legends Arceus

It’s the bike you don’t remember getting a bike in each game?

Fidough is adorable

The character was using them to fly too. And I think swim.

Idk man why use the box legendary as a kids bike or hm slave?

That’s not how HM Fly works lol, that’s just picking locations on a map and fast traveling

The legendaries look like bikes so it’s not like this is shoehorned in, it’s their whole concept

That’s a good point actually

I guess we’ll see.

Only thing that bothers me is they didn’t scale the gym leaders

Yeah I agree, but is that confirmed? I thought that was in the leak and lots of things from the leak turned out to be fake right?

Yeah I think it’s confirmed. Check the official scarlet/violet site

The bedazzled Pokémon are kinda dumb but I’m still hype

Hm I can’t find anything about that but honestly it could work, that gives me botw vibes where you can just instantly go fight ganon when he’s way stronger than you type s***. It could lead to some cool play through challenges online. “I beat the hardest gym first with just level 5 Pokémon” type s***

Didn’t know this was going on today

Yeah I could see the Nuzlocke guys having some fun with it but lowkey it kinda ruins the already in place rule that gym leaders scale their teams based on the experience of the trainer.

not a fan of the gimmick

really like the school/academy premise, takes me back to pokemon ranger

yeah the crystal versions are the biggest misstep here, they should just bring back megas

It's a skip for me. Y'all have fun though

Actually it seems like what they said is being misinterpreted, there could still be level scaling

It says you can seek out a “stronger” gym leader early on, that doesn't mean they don't scale with level. They could just be stronger because they have more Pokemon or more evolved ones or ones with better base stats

Idk man. The leaker confirmed there’s no level scaling. The more I think about it it’s not a big deal but it does go against stuff they’ve already established

Lots of people are interpreting the “stronger” gym leaders as meaning set levels so I think it’s possible the leaker also made that interpretation

Good:

1. Fixed raid battles. No more waiting for turns.
2. Full open world
3. Legit multiplayer
4. New Pokémon look cute
5. Pokémon just chilling everywhere like arceus
6. Lots of lategame/postgame content

Bad:

1. crystallized Pokémon look dumb
2. Switch hardware holding it back
3. no level scaling could be a con for some people
4. Exp share
5. No arceus-style catching

copping the steelbook from a store in france

Terrastalized comfey is just a diamond chain

Oh I am so getting that Pikachu.
