So clear body and multi scale got fancy new names for the legendaries

 

[Dryk]

Isn't Solageo's ability the same as Multiscale?

Solgaleo's is identical to Clear Body and White Smoke. Lunaala's is identical to Multiscale.

So clear body and multi scale got fancy new names for the legendaries

AN ABILITY NO OTHER POKEMON HAS HAD

 

[KingBroly]

ROTOM BABY

ALSO MEET POKEMON VIA QR CODES

This is giving me Monster Rancher vibes

 

[Zyrox]

How is the Sun lion not fire? And Moon bat not fairy? Does not compute. And isn't Solgaleo's ability just clear body? Dunno what to think of this trailer. Why is there a Rotom in my dex?

 

[Watch Da Birdie]

On that QR page it shows there's a new map function when seeing a Pokemon's area, this time it actually shows a layout of the route...

 

[Kansoku]

ROTOM BABY

ALSO MEET POKEMON VIA QR CODES

HOLY SHIT THAT MAP

 

[Delio]

Fuck off


FUCK OFF

Oh what lovely abilities. It's TIME.

 

[YAWN]

They got the same artist who did the Hoenn map in ORAS. Love that guys style. Plus ice area confirmed! Not that there was much doubt, but it looks pretty big all the same. Hoping we finally get an artic Wolf Mon.

 

[Azuran]

By the way the trainers seem to be wearing a mega bracelet, so it looks like mega are in the game...what a shame.

Why wouldn't megas be in this game?

 

[BitStyle]

Fuck off


FUCK OFF

Wow. Those abilities are something...

 

[Chase17]

Rotom dex seems like a reaction to Whisper to me

Not trying to force a comparison between the series it's just what I thought of when first seeing it

 

[TM25]

Solgaleo is weak to fire lol, with a rehashed Clear Body ability and typing. Thankfully I love the design.

Rotomdex is amazing though.

 

[woopWOOP]

Yeah!

Hoo-ee!

Woo!

(Okay that Rotom Dex is pretty rad)

 

[JimJamJones]

The Moon mascot is pretty cool, but the Sun mascot's typing and ability are.... huh.

 

[KingBroly]

HOLY SHIT THAT MAP

RIP GRID MAP 1996-2014

New Alola image.

 

[nintendoman58]

THERE'S A ROTOM IN YOUR POKEDEX.

ACTUAL CANON TALKING POKEMON.

OH MY GOODNESS.

 

[Weebos]

Might hint at something new for Sun and Moon:

Professor Kukui is the Alola region's dependable Pokémon professor. He lives near your home and looks out for you. He's passionate about his research into Pokémon moves and has sometimes taken direct hits from Pokémon when there was something to be learned from it. Sporting a white lab coat slung casually over his bare torso, he shows off his own unique style.

 

[hupla]

Damn meeting Pokémon through QR codes and a Ghost encyclopaedia that talks to you? Yo-kai Watch stays winning I guess as the competition tries to catch up 😏

 

[Macka]

Doesn't seem like there are Trainer models in the battles shown in this video.

 

[papertoonz]

i have been looking at stuff but Clear Body, does Clear Body protect from abilities?

 

[HawthorneKitty]

Lillie is totes mcgoats cute.

 

[BahamutPT]

So, a summary:

- ROTOMDEX
- Alola revealed to be comprised of 4 islands + 1 artificial island in the center
- Solgaleo and Lunala names confirmed
- Box legendaries types/abilities
- Share Pokemon info (Pokedex "seen" info I guess) with QR Codes
- Professor and Assistant names (Kukui and Lille)
- Hero/heroine's friend name (Hau)
- Gender and skin tone personalization

 

[Delio]

New Alola image.

Not bad. Although there goes eight islands idea. That one on the lower right is huge tho.

 

[Galava]

 

[-Horizon-]

New Alola image.

Yep, on the left side you can more clearly see a looming landmass rather than more islands it seems.

Right side, maybe. Might just be the coloring.

 

[Robin64]

QR thing seems kinda neat, I guess.

 

[Boss Doggie]

Multiscale renamed

lmao

 

[Galava]

Two huge clouds, possibly covering two more islands.

 

[woopWOOP]

New Alola image.

Lookin' great!

...hold up, is that one bigass mountain with a snowy peak?

Please no Rock Climb routes, please no Rock Climb routes, please...

 

[Garuroh]

Damn meeting Pokémon through QR codes and a Ghost encyclopaedia that talks to you? Yo-kai Watch stays winning I guess as the competition tries to catch up 😏

The first thing I thought lol

 

[Watch Da Birdie]

Just noticed Salamence confirms always flying battle models are still in...

 

[ffdgh]

Must admit the psychic typing is a tad disappointing since it's already super common. Would have been nice to have fire/steel and fairy/ghost.

 

[magnificenz]

The lunar legendary typing is pretty disappointing. 4x weakness to ghost and dark just like hoopa. Unless the meta change, the 'multiscale' will prove useless since dark move is everywhere. I like the design still tho, so still getting Moon first.

 

[Galava]

We have still to see the japanese video, it hasn't dropped yet.

 

[JimJamJones]

So what're the bracelets for?

 

[The Shadow Knight]

Multiscale renamed

lmao

At least that's a rename of a really good ability.

Solgaleo has no such luck.

 

[Daemul]

Aren't the new Legendary abilities just Clear Body and Multiscale renamed?

EDIT:Beaten

 

[-Horizon-]

Wonder if that's the Pokemon league in the middle of that map.

 

[Galava]

So what're the bracelets for?

Oh shit, missed that O.O

 

[Emperor Hol Horse]

Everything looks great so far. Rotomdex is quite awesome.

 

[BahamutPT]

The fact that Solgaleo is the Sunne Pokémon and Lunala the Moone Pokémon is a bit annoying.

It's not like there can only be one Sun or Moon Pokémon...

 

[Delio]

Two huge clouds, possibly covering two more islands.

Ah didnt notice the giant ass clouds there.

 

[linkandzelda]

Not bad. Although there goes eight islands idea. That one on the lower right is huge tho.

Not necessarily final region so there could be more. But yeah, doubt it will be eight major islands.

 

[Dryk]

Multiscale renamed

lmao

Remember the time they gave box legendaries "all new" abilities that were just two copies of Mold Breaker? (And then the third of the trio got Pressure). Good times.

 

[magnificenz]

i have been looking at stuff but Clear Body, does Clear Body protect from abilities?

Yes.

 

[Azuran]

So what're the bracelets for?

Mega evolution?

 

[Kansoku]

Yeah, I think Fire/Steel and Ghost/Steel would've been cool. But meh.

Also, I now like the bat more, will probably get Moon.

 

[papertoonz]

So what're the bracelets for?

prob mega stones thou to note they do have the diamond from the japanese logos

 

[YAWN]

Well the main character bracelets aren't mega bracelets, that's for sure...
