That's how you know it looks like a gen 2 pokemon
Not really. Houndour has detail on it.
Well fuck. I really like it now, that's clever.
Holy shit, I can't stand all these shapes. Can't we just have a regular non-shape cat?
We can do better....
The return of flame wheel.

Gen VII not Gen IITo many damn shapes for the cat. Here is what it should look like.
Yeah, and so are Corsola and Skarmory

This combined with a Fire/ Ghost typing would be cool
Nope, gen 2.
Not in RSE or BW?
But yeah the odds that they don't make it accessible are pretty slim.

Much like how people complained about Greninja's "lack of bubble scarf", people miss the idea of Chesnaught's design. He is wearing armor with the ripened chestnut motif. No that is not his bare body - he is literally wearing armor, not just the backshield, and said colors match the chestnut colors which is admittedly bland.
The brown parts of Quilladin/Chespin are inside the armor, much like how the insides of a ripened chestnut is brown. It's one of those "themes that makes sense when you realize how it came from", just like why Altaria's typing is like that.
But "realizing where it came from" doesn't validate or make the design "good". That's why it's not a chestnut, they are inspired by something but they have liberties over the motifs they add to the pokemon.
IMO it's really detrimental to the overall design that they took the color "literally" from the source. They could've done something better.
No...

It'd honestly be a shame if they didn't let us obtain Eevee throughout the game.

I hate to be one of those guys, especially since I loved R/S/E, but Pokemon designs have really gone to shit.
Not really. Houndour has detail on it.
I wasn't being serious! I do think gen 2 is my least favourite design wise but there's plenty I still love there, Houndour included.
Shit really? I don't remember it being in gen 2 at all.

I almost always picked the Water starter in previous gens but I have to have the surly kitten.
Also won't Rowlett be weak to both of the starters? It'll be 4X weak to Popplio once it learns ice moves.

Oh man, hopefully it evolves into Wario
No Houndour is gen 2.
That's because you could only find it in Kanto, which was post game.

The "cat" is actuallyTo many damn shapes for the cat. Here is what it should look like.
a pokemon.
It's only available at night, in a Kanto route.
Yeah, Gen II Pokemon distribution was stupid.

GameXplain analysis will be wonderful & the discussion they will surely have for sure
I'm going for Pokemon Sun the legend looks awesome
Does it have feet how does it rest unless it's floats?
Lion Legend Fire?
Lord Zubat Psychic/ and either dark ghost fairy

Because for some reason GameFreak thought it would be a good idea to put new pokemon in the Kanto region of Gold/Silver.

I'll be disappointed if Clefairy isn't in the Moon version what-so ever
Pretty much how I feel about it. Hopefully they reveal some nice new features in the next few months.

Eh, I disagree on that. Some designs start bad but when you realize what it made them, suddenly they click. Like how at first I thought Doublade was lazy, but then after looking at motifs of sword crests, it doesn't look bad.
And well, they could have, but they were at least consistent. Many people miss the fact that Chesnaught is wearing armor for instance, and think only the green area is the armor.

GameFreak is aware of this... Thats how I know Rowlet will have some ace maneuver in its back pocket.
Wether it's type changes, or it has uber stats.

I think it just comes from the fact that most people don't remember Gen II Pokemon and think most of them were introduced in Gen III.
When I was a kid, I always thought Corsola, Skarmory, Lanturn and a few others were Hoenn Pokemon.

Rowlet is my choice for sure.
Not a fan of Poppleo. His body seems a bit too simple for me.

Woah, didn't expect the switch to full 3D. It is full 3D now right? I thought I saw the camera move but I guess the character was just going down a slope and the camera moved with him.

Empoleon was weak to both other starters' secondary types and had no resistances to either starters' primary types.
One starter not quite being even isn't out of the ordinary.

Nope, Gen II.
This is the Gen III dog, Poochyena
This whole time, I thought these guys were Hyenas, not dogs.
Unless thats a type of dog
Watching through the trailer again, they do a much better job of diversifying night and day in SM too. Gen 6 you could barely tell when the time of day changed, it was always so goddamn bright.
A main game in each region, as in at least one.
I forgot it wasn't in Emerald though, whoops.

Starter history:
Gen I: Charmander
Gen II: Totodile (Best starter)
Gen III: Treeko
Gen IV: Turtwig
Gen V: Snivy
Gen VI: (I haven't played X/Y but I did breed one of its starters for when I restarted for an OR/AS playthrough a few months ago) Froakie
Gen VII: Litten*
*If it turns into another badly designed bipedal or Fire/Fighting, i'm switching to Rowlet. I doubt it since given the carnival theme it's going to end up as a tiger or lion (leaning more towards tiger since we have a box art and just got Pyroar a few years ago) but I remember Tepig and how it...changed so i'm not going to be that surprised if it happens.

Hyenas aren't canines. Just something that looks like dogs.
I think this is the first time I've felt no hype at all from a Pokemon game trailer. It's just a big 'meh' from me. Not a massive fan of the starters, and until they reveal gameplay info in the coming months I don't really see anything appealing from the tidbits we got in this trailer.
I mean I'll definitely play them at some point, but I was still hoping for a much more radical change to the series at this point.

I think this looks much better.
