Brilliant Diamond, cuz I prefer Dialga and because ruling time is superior to ruling space imo
I'm also getting Brilliant Diamond, but it's only because it was my boi back before I got Platinum. I also like the exclusives a lot more.
Stunky+Murkrow > Glameow+Misdreavus.
That being said, living in a reality devoid of physical spaciality would be really, really, really uncomfortable (read, unlivable). While living in a world devoid of time, would just end up being painfully boring?
There's also a few other possibilities.
- Firstly there might now be more than one battle with Candice. The first battle with Snover might be prior to the gym battle and the Abomasnow battle is the actual gym battle.
- Secondly they are expanding Candice's battle to have 5 Pokemon and the Snover is the first Pokemon (to set up hail) and the Abomasnow is later in battle (to re-set it up prior to Froslass).
- Thirdly it could indicate difficulty modes are returning.
- Lastly it wouldn't be the first time they changed details from a trailer (remember Gardevoir using fairy wind when the fairy type was revealed but in-game it never actually got that move) and they just forgot to update the latest trailers.
1.: Everything in the marketing is screaming faithful 1to1 remakes. There's no reason to assume additional battles, especially with gymleaders no less.
2.: During the previous trailer, they showed Gardenia and her Roserade, now they showed Candice and Abomasnow and Volkner and Luxray. These are their DP-signature pokémon. Nothing about this even hints towards an expansion of their teams.
3.: Nope, pure speculation on your part. Showcasing the DP-aces only further points towards them going with the DP-teams and not indicate the other way around, otherwise we would've seen Froslass and Electivire - now
that would've been a clear indication.
Lastly: Fair enough, but they now have shown this pattern with three gymleaders.
All in all, it's going to be a blessing if we get to rebattle them postgame with better teams or even in a B2W2-PWC-type of tournament in the Battle Tower.
But yeah, get ready for E4 Flint having
Lopunny, Drifblim and Steelix for no good reason.
