no, just no.
Are they a duo of old/new natural/mechanical or two thirds of a possible trio? Both pink, gem decorated bunny looking things.

Everytime Game Freak does something that looks like it'd have a really obvious connection, it never pans out. So unfortunately, they're probably not related.
>>33503625
Personally I don't like their designs but there's no denying the similarities and as much as I wish they had some deeper lore connecting the two I highly doubt it. But on the plus side pair them up with the tapus and you've got yourself an all out fairy team

It's still floating around, the English version is still on the UK Pokemon channel. But the JP one has better audio mixing.

>>33503554
So are you actually going to reply to the talking point or are you just going to focus on the unrelated image?
A lot of people here are opposed to any change to pokemon, and often without any thought out reason for it. It's really strange, I don't know why they're satisfied with the same exact game over and over. "Pokemon should be pokemon, if you want _____ then go play that game instead." As if games don't take inspiration and ideas from other games all the time. Or that destroying the sanctity of the pokemon series will retroactively destroy their childhood and their future or something. Counter argument, if you want more of the same old pokemon, play one of the many games already released that are exactly what you apparently want. Let the series fucking grow.
One of the most common arguments I see against a change to the formula is "that won't work because it would break ____" as if the idea presented would be the only thing Gamefreak would change and would keep the rest of the game the exact same. I don't understand what is with all the rigid thinking.
Either there's too many kids on this board or people are genuinely stupid, but /vp/ easily has the lowest average intelligence of all the boards I frequent. Nowadays I just come here for art and the occasional shitpost, anything more feels like an unpleasant waste of time

Story so far: You are Ron, a human who one day turned into a Tepig. Along with your friend Oshawott, you started an exploration team, investigating a mystery of a captured Shaymin, a rogue Tapu Koko, and a dying world. Check the screencaps to catch up!
After your last adventure, you spent some time in Risellan city to wind down and relax while you thought about what to do next, but the break was not soon to last. A mystery soon unfurled, with a number of your exploration team friends acting odd and going missing. The trail of clues soon led you to an establishment of ill repute- and as per your norm, trouble soon followed in the form of a massive dungeon beneath the streets of Risellan
>>33503377
Rules: Periodically I'll ask for input on what you, Ron (and ONLY Ron), should do. When input is required, I will ask for a set of a few numbers. 5 minutes after asking for those numbers, the LAST post ending in one of the requested numbers will have their suggestion taken for Ron's action. Only posts made AFTER the post asking for a # will count. Other characters will move autonomously, acting of their own will, though you can make suggestions for them.
Dubs and trips will now be counted as 'bonus' or 'add-on' actions, actions that Ron will take, so long as they don't conflict or detract away from the main roll. Dubs and trips (or better) can be countered with dubs (or better) of opposite even-odd (ie, 44 can be countered with 11, 33, 55, etc.)
Other rules: -"Get bragging" will now be ignored. (These trips say x, If quads, x will happen)
-"Securing" is no longer allowed. Attempts to secure an action by use of dubs or better will now result in the original action being nullified and moving to the next-most qualified roll.
Keep note that actions can only be performed within the realm of plausibility. You can't pull out items you don't have, you can't use moves you don't know, you can't willingly try to kill yourself etc. etc.
Nice of Rina to invite us over for dinner, gay Ron?

Why doesn't Game Freak consistently improve on the Pokemon formula and keep moving forward with new ideas while keeping the old ones that worked?
Every single gen removes something substantial, either permanently, or temporarily to bring it back as a "new" feature in a later generation game. Gen 3, for example, cut the entire day/night and weekly event cycle. Emerald to DP cuts the Battle Frontier, only to bring it back for the third version as something "new", and Gen V removes the online co-op factor of the Battle Tower (or Frontier), with the feature never returning in any game since.
Third versions all have content that should have been in the game from the get-go. If GF didn't bother to rush game releases, GS could've gotten a female protag option, RS would've had the Frontier, better double enemy teams, rematches, Steven's final battle, and the space station battle, and the same with DP and SM and their third versions, rather than being packed as DLC for the price of a full game.
On the topic of remakes, every single Pokemon game holds up, even Gen I with all its bugs. The Kanto and Johto remakes could be partially excused for mon collecting and compatibility reasons, but even then Johto's were somewhat redundant when FRLG, Emerald, and DP all have a substantial amount of Gen II Pokemon. The entire Johto/Hoenn experience could easily be relived just by playing the original titles, and the same goes for any other potential remakes. With Virtual Console being a thing, any of the old titles could be released anyway, so people who don't have the games could experience it, and GF could use this time to refine their games even more rather than rehashing the same game. Any of the remake-exclusive content could be added to the next generation; BW could've had the Pokeathlon, and SM could use the Dexnav.Of course, I know the real reason as to why this doesn't happen is because GF's current method makes money.
That's nice OP, but is there a rip of that Dawn model?

"Why doesn't Game Freak consistently improve on the Pokemon formula and keep moving forward with new ideas while keeping the old ones that worked?"
Because my dear OP, much like in the movie The Founder, GF are basically the McDonald Brothers. They're smart and had a good idea, but that's all they ever had.
They don't know shit about writing a story, making good competitive game play, making good features/post-game, hell, they don't even know how to make good concepts or see them through like baby pokemon, cross-gen evo's, fusions, megas, or soon the soon-to-be-tossed regional variants.
Why? Because besides not having any good skills, they're like children unable to keep with a single idea before eventually tossing it in the trash like the different pokemon ideas I said above.

It's safe to say that we won't see DP remake until 2019, next year is gen 8.
Nope
Fire red leaf green 8 years after red and green
HGSS 10 years after gold and silver
ORAS 12 years after ruby and Sapphire
D/p remakes 14 years after d/p
2019 gen 8 and 2020 remakes

The remake every 5 years is mire reliable but im sure gamefreak doesn't care about patterns. We may get bw remakes in gen 9

>Patterns
What does it matter when it releases? We know we won't get a new game after USUM until Gen 8, whether that be 2018 or 2019. We know that after that, we'll likely get Sinnoh or Kanto remakes (hopefully Sinnoh), whether that be the year after or the year after that.
I do but I'm wondering if others do too
