Rumors & Leaks - Speculation/Discussion Thread

Yes it did.

Fill out the Pokedex, increase rank, get reward. How is that not like this?

That was a core (and somewhat irritating) game mechanic.

Perhaps we are talking at cross purposes but I am explicitly talking about the aesthetic design of the system which shows a tracker and level, and reward, for which the S/V one and the Coromon are visually extraordinarily similar - fact.

That PLA had the same mechanic as a matter of technical course, but not visually presented in the same way, is sort of missing the point I am making:

You would have to be blind to call the PLA system more similar to S/V than the Coromon one.

There was, in fact, a literal visual representation of your rank in your Pokedex.

It was right there. I know because I was often cursing the damned mechanic while I searched out new Pokedex entries after beating the boss to move on to the next area.

Here's something I haven't seen addressed in any of the leaks I've read, perhaps someone here has. Regarding size variation, do hatched pokemon sometimes come out in smaller or larger than average sizes? If not, then I presume its impossible right now to get the starters in anything but the pokedex-displayed average size?

And since all the paradox pokemon can be caught repeatedly, do they vary in size, or is that only for "normal" wild pokemon?

I have seen some stuff on size variation (alpha Pokes are all the max size in the dex, but aren't giants like Titans, for example) but nothing on eggs or 'paradoxes', sorry.

So far, the only ones I've seen are uniform options. Nobody, to my knowledge, has leaked body customization options yet.

At least you can still trade locally and access Pokemon GO and HOME after service for Sword and Shield ends.

You can still use the online features as well as internet service for the games won’t stop just because a new Gen is out.

They do?

Ah, so it's not all that bad. Specially with mints, caps and capsules to patch everything else.

Does Cute Charm still work to manipulate the gender of the species that do have this?

I made this chart to better visualize the type distribution of this generation. And also to help me decide on a team but I'm still undecided in that regard.
Glad to see that every type has at least two non-paradox non-legendary Pokémon you can use on your team. Ground, Ice, and Fairy have the fewest with only two options, but for Ground the Donphan paradoxes are available late midgame-ish. A shame that all new Ice types are relatively late but I'm used to it by now.

The new psudo looks so underwhelming to me.. Very plain and dull..
It's surprising cuz I liked all the the ones in the previous gens and thought they all had a very unique and fun design
It seems to have some interesting animations if nothing else (seems to heavily reference older Godzilla movies with it propelling itself with its breath weapon). May look better close up too.

I wasn't too sure how I felt about the Water Tauros, but I just found out it swims fast by shooting water from its horns. That certainly raised its appeal. Still probably like the Fire one the most, the horn shape and the way it wraps its tails together are awesome.

Hi guys, do we know if we can catch pokemon in cities?? They really showed pokemon in cities in the trailers so can we get them or are they just for show.
