Z-Moves were tied into the lore of the region, so I don't mind them existing even if I hardly ever used them. Dynamax is really just... there. It feels as though its been thrown into the game rather than working it into the lore of the region. If we'd have gone back to Japan, and some scientist or something had found a way to alter a 'mon's energy makeup so that it could go supersize, that would have been inserting it into the lore of the region.

I guess it can't really be judged yet just how much Dynamaxing is a part of the lore of the region, but a UK-inspired region and supersizing 'mon just don't really... match.

to be fair we dont know its not tied to the lore, they said it was cause of the giant myths

It sounds like they’ve tried to emulate the raid battles from Pokemon Go which, for a one player game sounds... awkward.

Not looked or watched anything myself but it sounds like there is some semi plausible rumours/leaks going around about some of the new Pokémon we’ve yet to see. Stay vigilant if you are trying to go in blind!

Either you've seen different leaks to me, or our tastes are very different, because I'm praying they're fakes. :lol:

Can't you? Very consistent with what we knew.

I love the look of most of the new 'mons. Shame that Sobble's final evo is a disappointment.

These are the ones I've seen floating around, from some sort of guide book or art book or something.

Obviously big spoils if you're wanting to avoid.

I have decided that when I am offered a Starter I am going to refuse them as they all look gooseberry fool (evolved, allegedly) and end the game there.

I hope to God those starters are fake, or I'm dropping Sobble like an ugly baby.

The only important ones are:

Rule 34: if it exists, there is porn of it.
Rule 34a: if no porn can be found, it shall be made
Rule 63: if it exists there is a gender swapped version of it

And thus was the internet created.

I’m not sure what to make on people’s reactions to the leaked Pokémon, sounds like Sobble is one of the worst offenders without looking :lol:
