Rumors & Leaks - Speculation/Discussion Thread

[Ultra Beast Lover]

I wonder if it could be part of the Treasure hunt?

If that's the case then the true treasure really was the friends we made along the way.

KLAWF IS SO CUTE

I got everything I wanted outside the Paradox forms

Aren’t the two Pokémon at the end Paradox forms of Gallade? Especially the violet one really resembles him

I think they're the warrior/blade Pokemon - both are Fire types, version exclusives and fit the theme pretty well.

Klawf seems to get a weakened Shell Smash as its ability, that's pretty neat?

 

[Julia Artemis]

Definitely called boss pokemon being revealed aka Titans. Wanted to see the earthworm but I'm not mad at seeing Klawf maybe my second favorite design after Cetitan

Nope they are the rumoured fire armor and sword version exclusive Pokemon

Also, we get more of a hint at what the poison/steel type Engine Pokemon will look like.

 

[MetaMantis]

Ceruledge looks like a Paldean form of Scizor and I'm here for it.

Also the battle vs Team Star felt like PLA battling or was that just me?

NEW MECHANIC

[Lord Godwin]

Yep. They are. The website even says that they're version exclusive. Armarouge is only in Scarlet and Ceruledge is exclusive to Violet.

Now I'm not sure if ordering Scarlet was a good idea as Ceruledge looks so nice and much better than the other one.

I hope Paradox Salamance at least looks dope.

I liked this trailer so much, really happy with the armor/sword designs! That's the first pokémon this gen I decided I definitely want on my team. (and for my surprise, the sword pokémon isn't actually a sword but a swordwielding pokémon which is also cool)

The design of the Team Star minions are SO UNINSPIRED oh my god, if they are going with the school motif they could easily make them look like delinquents, their leader/high officer looks AMAZING tho. Also, we can see the car engine moving right?

Really excited for facing the titan pokémon, very happy about them. The tera-gimmick still not doing it for me design-wise, I think the EXTREMELY BIG hats are such a bad idea. I'd be fine with smaller kirby-like hats.

This is why I wait till the release to order the games.

 

[Lord Godwin]

I believe that Team Star will have five branches, each specializing in a type not represented by either the Gym Leaders or Elite 4. The Champion will be a specialist of the remaining 18th type.

There are few Champions actually. We can also get fights against the Teachers.

But having Team Start using more than 1 type would make sense. It's something they should've did for Team Flare back in XY.

 

[Lord Godwin]

This is why I wait till the release to order the games.

I have ordereed it earlier based on 2 reasons:
1. Possible availibility in Poland
2. High inflation rate (16.1% for last month) and increasing USD/EUR fx ratio which can impact the end price a lot.

So I wanted to be safe rather than sorry.

Also, we get more of a hint at what the poison/steel type Engine Pokemon will look like.

It's more clearly show here:

 

[Red and Blue]

I like that Armarouge is part Psychic. If the blue Tauros is part water looks like I found my Fire and Psychic type for my Scarlet playthrough

 

[MunchMunch]

Calling it now, the chairwoman of the Pokemon League has a male counterpart for Scarlet. That's who the female/male "champions" are.

 

[Noy]

It's a new feature called "Let's Go" where you can send one of your Pokemon on their own to get items and battle independently. This is the new equivalent of Poke Pelago and Poke Jobs.

uh, no; it's an auto battle mechanic. You can see it used in the trailer.
