What did they mean by this in 2000?
>>33271400
It means it was something said 17 fucking years ago and has no relevance to today.
>a seventeen year old commercial better encapsulates the soul of Pokemon in a single sentence than any of the actual games released after it

Well at least SM gave us one good thing, the sexiness of Mallow. She's one of the best sex objects Pokemon has ever produced.
APOLOGIZE.

Why is Cosmoem the first mon in 3 gens to have a split evolution? Disregarding Rockruff because they're all Lycanroc.
Why has gf not only abandoned cross-gen evos (which seemingly has an explanation in Eviolite,) but also abandoned split evos, until now? It seems so strange and arbitrary, and gens 1 through 4 each had at least one.
>Abandon split evolutions almost entirely
>Bring them back for a legendary pokemon, breaking the pattern of legendaries never evolving
Why doesn't that table list the different forms of Meowstic?
because the chart is retarded, whith 2 form changes, ad 1 split evolution. OP said form changes are non topic
USM is VERY unlikely to contain a full roster of following Pokemon, and here's why.
The walking animations that have been datamined for all Pokemon are for the high poly Pokemon models. They are linked to its skeleton and rig. High poly asset are a heavy hit on performance- like you see in double battles in SM.
In order for the overworld to not have poor performance, Game Freak created low poly versions of some Pokemon and trainers . Compare your trainer model used during a battle to the one used during overworld exploration.
People who believe that because there are the animations for walking means that following is happening don't understand that Game Freak can't use the high poly animated models in the overworld. That would likely destroy performance. They would have to create a completely different low poly model for each Pokemon, and map the animations to that. Even if the low poly models were created using the same rig and skeleton as the high polys, animations are hard to get working flawlessly across multiple models without clipping problems.
The way I see it, there are only four possibilities this trailer snippet suggests.
1. Game Freak somehow managed to get the high poly models to run well in the overworld, and they will simply use those. (If this is the case, it makes you question why low poly models were ever used in the first place).
2. Game Freak has created a whole set of low poly Pokemon models that have the same rig as the high poly, and will transfer over the datamined walking animations we have seen to the low poly (This is a large amount of work by Game Freak standards).
3. The number of following Pokemon will be limited to ones that already have low poly models that you see in the overworld in SM (such as the starters, Miltank, Pyukumuku, Pikachu, Tauros etc.) because they have already done that work.
4. Rockruff will be a unique case and be the only following Pokemon (or NPC).
I think 1 or 3 are most likely. Maybe with extra time they worked out thw kinks?
>>33324736
Oranguru, Magmar, Marowak, Slowpoke, Rockruff, and Mimikyu also already had overworld models in SM
And Alolan Vulpix has one in USUM
>>33324736
You know what this means, right?
FOLLOWING POKEMON ON THE SWITCH
So Duskdog is still Pure Rock but we see it one shotting a Bewear in the video. Major attack boost + tough claws? Better coverage?
I want to be able to use this thing in at least UU.
>>33270916
It was using Counter, retard
>>33270918
I can't read moon rune sorry
>>33270916
Get's both Accelrock and Counter.
this is Pokémon now
RIP
>>33324574
you are a fucking idiot who has no business criticizing these people
he actually means quite the opposite than you would expect, cosmetic stuff shouldn't be locked behind grind and effort
instead that should be saved for gameplay related things
I like him already
>>33324574
>now
>>33324574
You know the context it was said under, don't be such a pot-stirring twat.
I honestly was going to skip over USUM, but this out of the blue director has me curious about how the game will be. I like the photo feature already.
Rate my team /vp/
Also, post your not main series teams

I am in the process of trying to duplicate my save so I can get the right nature Moltres that I want. I already got Snorlax and a Hasty Salamanca was a nice, unexpected bonus.

*ninetails
WOW ITS FUCKING NOTHING.
Are you sure about that?
No gyms pretty much confirmed, development spent on useless photo mode shit.
If those heavy clouds in the bottom left of the map aren't hiding a PWT or something like that, gen 7 will go down as the worst and laziest gen yet.
>>33324548
>no gyms
Probably true, but Ryuki's introduction being at Vermilion Gym makes me curious
>Unranked
IT'S NOT FAIR
>>33270843
It's a shitmon in a meta that is dominated by Steel- and Ground-types.

>Letting a some stupid ranking system ruin your fun
Just run a shitpost variant in OU. Hell, you could run it in UU the last time I checked.
>>33270919
Fire-types too.
fml. Decided to do a reborn rerun and couldn't decide whether i wanted to have a solid starter or a challenging one, so i randomized the ones i haven't used yet. Here is the result.

Team suggestions?
