Pokémon Community Thread 3: "Soon, All of Hoenn Will Be Under Its Withering Glare…"

Something I found in pixiv

And they finally explained why the first Gym can be defeated by a Level 8 Pokemon!
I was positively surprised by that. It was a nice explanation to why the gym leaders were always at the same level or slightly above yours. Makes me hope for a gen where we can fight Gym Leaders in our own order.

It's like you guys never played BW2 or something. BW2 made that canon years before The Origin!

omfg the cruel irony

The designer who designed Stoutland (who has been my avatar earlier this year and also one of my top favorite Pokemon) designed freaking Sylveon

oh

my

It's fate.

Now I'm curious who designed who.

Operation Don't Fall Asleep is a lot harder to pull off while paying attention in BW2.

I don't like The Origins but that doesn't mean I don't know the details of the show. And it pretty much is BW2 Cheren's plot point early on.

But oh well, better late than never.
 
It's difficult to know if it's really one person's whole work or a collaborative effort half the time. I plain don't bother trying to discern different design styles and such—much more difficult than with Pokémon music, it seems.
 
Which pokemon did James Turner do? I know he did the Golurk and Vanilluxe lines but that's about it.

Well based on those supposed leaks

Volcanion is pretty cool (lol Volcarona, so many volcano pokemon recently) and whose bright idea was it to have Mega Latios and Latias be almost the exact same color?

I think Volcanion might actually be a sort of hydrogen fusion reactor. (That's the only way I can make sense of the fact a fire/water type has what looks like a particle accelerator on its back.) I think the point of Megal@s was to hammer in the fact that they're ultimately the same species, no matter how striking the sexual dimorphism.
BUT ENOUGH SPOILER TALK

I wish I had a pet carbink.
