BUT WHAT DOES IT MEAN

Maybe they are actually above Arceus.
 
I ain't picking a team unless I see the evolutions. The cat looks stupid, but the final evolution could be amazing. Still will be a battle between owl and kitty.

Made this real quick.


So the island is based on Oahu. The southern volcano is Diamond Head, the city is Honolulu/Pearl Harbor, and the mountain with the waterfall is Sacred Falls.

Obviously this island is too small to be the entire region. How many islands will it be? Obviously they have to have the main island.

Ok that's awesome, I really want to explore the world now.

Like I said in the other thread I bet all of Hawaii's islands are in the game.
 
This is always a silly counter-point. Voltorb was a gimmick Pokémon built on the fact that overworld items were designed to look like Pokéballs. It was a gameplay inspired player trap.

Uh huh.

More like they designed those traps after designing Voltorb since art in games are usually finalized before they start world building.
 
The speed at which fan art of new Pokemon comes out astonishes me. It's like their hands are in the drawing position the second anything gets shown.
 
People complain about the starters literally every gen. It's a pokemon tradition at this point. I think the starter trio looks solid personally.
 
Rival takes the starter yours is strong against.

Ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
This is such a non issue. By the time it starts to matter if you haven't picked up a counterrible typing for your rival's starter you have fucked up.

Besides I'm sure there's a second rival who picks the one you're weak to
 
OH MY GOD I LOVE EVERYTHING

All three starters + legendaries + Hawaii region + new trainers and professor look amazing!

I think I'm most partial to the seal starter and lion legendary at the moment.

Most refreshing design is definitely Litten, though. Really unique design.
 
Gotta see what other Fire and Water options before I make a choice, as well as final typings for Litten and Popplio. Rowlet looks cool and all, but Grass/Flying is just a no-go for me. Now I just need to decide which version to-

The moment I saw that Lion Legendary....

Okay, Sun it is.
 
The fucking whiskers on the cat give me no confidence for this gem of Pokemon. I thought they wanted to go for simpler designs?
 
I'm screaming. How is it that the designs are always called overdesigned and then they're somehow effortless and lazy?
Well theres a difference between implementing the attributes in the design of pokemon without getting ridiculous with colors and shapes and just laziness with with make a cat red and black or slap a leaf infront of the owl.

Maybe the evos look much better but the starters look lame and uninspired.
 
I am likely going with Litten! I also kind of like Rowlet.

I'm also hyped by the properly proportioned characters in the overworld. Very exciting to see Pokemon advance like that.
