After the trailer i think the strange souvenier is the form the Tapus take in their z move.

If nothing else, the fact that CYNTHIA is in this game will compel me to buy it!!!!!!!!!!!!

"Sparkling Aria is a Water-type special move that only Primarina can learn, and it heals the burns of any target it strikes"

Whats the logic behind that move's side effect?

In double battles, use it on an ally Pokemon with water absorb ability and a burn.

Ok makes sense

It can stop Guts users, which seems to be it's only use that I can think of? That or you can get rid of a Burn from a Foe's Pokemon and replace it with say, Paralysis or Sleep.

Yeaaaaaahhhhhh... No that's not how that works. It needs to hit the Pokemon in order to get rid of the burn. Water Absorb/Storm Drain negate the move immediately.

my guess in doubles you can attack you ally and cure it's burn. Though wondering if you say have water absorb pokemon will it still get the side effects of that move?

Ohhh right, that sounds useful as well

I am SO happy that free battles are giving us the option of whether or not to battle legendary & mythical Pokémon. That was one of my biggest problems I had with battling on wifi since most of the people I faced were spamming them on their teams. Mega evolution fixed the problem for a while, but it's nice to see that Game Freak's directly addressing it

If Sparkling Aria ends up healing other status conditions besides Burn, it also means we finally have a counter for Pokémon like Poison Heal + Substitute Gliscor that doesn't require us to jump through millions of hoops to obtain it

I'm thinking Cosmog might not be related to the legendaries? No mention of the legendaries when they showed Cosmog but then again, who knows - they've been full of surprises lately.

 

[Hauke_von_Arding]

So... what do you think who the Elite 4 will be? Rematches of the Kahuna? Or are we getting four new characters for it?

It would be stupid to give this surprise away...

 

[Aleh]

I'm still a bit overwhelmed right now.
SM confirmed to be the best Pokemon games ever.

This is exactly how I feel right now... Speechless from all the awesomeness of these games...

Read their official descriptions, though. It says that Cosmog grows when it absorbs light. That probably is hinting that depending on the type of light (sunlight or moonlight) it'll evolve depending. And before anyone jumps in to say that the moon doesn't actually give off its own light, I think we're operating on anime & comic book logic; not pure science here lol.

I feel even more pumped for these games after that new trailer. Some people were worried about no gyms, but this trailer pretty much tells what's up with that. Alola just doesn't have gyms or a Pokemon League yet! You're helping establish them, it sounds like. That's great! I also like that we get to see Cynthia again (favorite champion) and grown up Red/Blue.

Nope. It sounds more like they build the league without your help. And they are not building gyms just a league.

It also says Aether is researching it

They're involved with all the shady stuff in this game

Shocked. Absolutely shocked that they perhaps might be evil. *Lightning Cracks*

I was too hyped by the starters, I did not see that in the trailer. It's nice! Finally we have the choice. Need to watch it again.

I don't think the trailers say anything about it, but it is mentioned on the main site

Ah, that's why I did not notice it so. I'm going to read the latest news, but I think you tell the essential here! So excited by that.
