Legends: Arceus - General Speculation/Discussion Thread

[Ultra Beast Lover]

Personally Voltorb/Electrode aren't really my favorite Kanto Pokemon though it should be interesting to see them with Hisui forms.

 

[SuperTentacle]

It would be really cool If Voltorb had multiple forms for every ball in the Game. But since only some of the normal Pokeballs explode I don't think that will be the case...

For the record, Galarian Weezing's...protrusions, for a lack of a better word, are based on chimney pots, a type of top hat popular in the 19th century that's a close relative of the stovepipe hat (which Abraham Lincoln famously wore). Chimney pot hats were tall and narrow with wide, upward-curling brims and taper slightly from bottom to top.

Galarian Weezing's design is exaggerated, of course, though there was a brief period in which hat manufacturers were trying to one-up each other by making ever taller hats, which is why Lincoln's hat is sometimes drawn as extremely tall and narrow.

I don't think Galarian Weezing is based on the Mad Hatter specifically, just that the Mad Hatter happened to be a wearer of top hats. Mad Hatter, in particular, had a tag with the hat's measurements sticking out from its sash (the idea is that you remove it after you buy it, whereas he left it on); this was his signature mark, and I think if it was based on the Mad Hatter, there'd be some sign of that tag there.

I wasn’t saying Galarian Weezing was based on the Mad Hatter himself. I was saying it was inspired by the character with the hat being the main focus and the Poison typing references the mercury used to make the hat.

I would agree with you they aren't my favourite either. For me that's part of the reason I want them to get something. A new take on them could make me like them more. At the very least an electrode with a different typing could at least prove useful.

Ball Guy on says we will all get together tomorrow so Ball Guy can show us something a little like him.

We are so getting a Hisuian Voltorb reveal.

 

[Red and Blue]

Think I'll add Hisuian Voltorb to my team in place of Magnezone. Especially if it's

Spoiler: typing

Part Grass like the rumor started

 

[Ultra Beast Lover]

Ah great, this probably means we'll have to deal with Voltorb/Electrode blowing us up in the field

 

[Smeargle-Sketch]

 

[Mythical-Moonlight]

Yep that's another one going straight to my team

 

[Red and Blue]

Sweet. Welcome to the team Hisuian Voltorb

 

[Ignition]

Never thought I’d say this but this is easily my favorite of the new regional forms. Most likely will be using this.

 

[Lord Godwin]

Not sure if anyone raised it already:
Many people noticed that there seems to be a Palkia Tribe and Dialga Tribe wearing pink and Blue clothes respectively.

But did people notice it also applies to Wardens?
Mai, Iscan and Arezu have Blue suits while Lian Has a pink one.

I'm wondering if it will anyhow impact the game and if you will be able to choose one of the tribes.

I hope so, it might just be a cosmetic choice but it'd be so cool

The second half of the Hisuian Voltorb short has been out for a while.

Shame there weren't any new Pokemon introduced or hidden or something.

(It’s very likely that once Pokémon Legends: Arceus is released that players will be able to catch the Alpha Pokémon in that game and transfer it back to Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, but that is currently unknown. We'll update this guide when new information is available.

There is some evidence that a new, remastered version of the Hall of Origin event from the original Diamond and Pearl games exist in Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, but there is seemingly no way to access the event during gameplay. Whether or not The Pokémon Company will provide the necessary item to access the Hall of Origin in future is unknown at this time, but we hope so.

In the meantime, there are plenty of other legendary Pokémon for you to collect in Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl. Form another game thread site)

(Well, it is to be known that Arceus is indeed a Mythical. Therefore it has always been event based.

Smeargle-Sketch said:
Though, the game does revolve around it and is the titular Pokemon of the game, so I would assume it is indeed catchable.

Even if you have to 100% the game in order to, I still think you'll be able to get it in some way.

(I said on page 72) If you remember the original Diamond an Pearl games Arceus was only accessible only by Action Reply aka cheating only because #Blame Game Freak for thinking it was to hard to understand to kids back then so the event never officially happend.

So with the new Switch versions an legend of Arceus coming next year game freak probly now realizing it was not complex for kid/adult gamers to figure the cancled event(End quote page 72)

^Let's not have a repeat of it locked because of this

New trailer just dropped:

New trailer just dropped:

So my theory about 2 factions with each Warden being part of one seems to be true. Waiting for translations.

Wondering if these bosses are more akin of Kahunas/Elite Four or Champions.

 

[Ignition]

If you have BDSP save data on your Switch, you get access to a special event with Darkrai and Team Galactic outfits

 

[Mr.Munchlax]

I wonder of if Adaman & Irida are referring to Arceus when they're mentioning "Almighty Sinnoh"

 

[Lord Godwin]

Calling it now - Volo is the game antagonist.
