This thread is gonna suck.

Alomomola
>Colress does not return
No new megasexcept for 2 new Megas for Lucario, one for Sun and the other for Moon
>>28386902
Rockruff + Starter secret is unique Z moves and/or synchro
>>28386940
The image should be progressing the other way anon.
>>28386902
The story is going to fall flat on its face as the million plot poi ts end up not being paced well
Lillie is boring, bland as fuck, and has no personality or character development and has an overall ""forced"" presence.I'm feel like I'm already half-right about this.
No secret bases, and the post game is just a reskinned Battle Maison.
>>28386902
>Alolan forms are Gen 1 only
>No new forms come with Sinnoh remakes
>Megas return in Sinnoh Remakes
>Only Gen 1 pokemon and finally the gen 2 and 4 starters

Lmao who cares about the story of pokemon games.HOLY SHIT THIS IS SO GOING TO HAPPEN FUCK
>>28386902
fire fighting starter lol
>>28386902
>no trainer besides the "Champion" have more than 4 pokemon
>Exp. Share from the get go
>Entirely possible to be 10 lvls above everyone else by 3rd trial/gym from then until end of the game
>>28386902
>Aether is not evil
this will truly hurt
>Asspull that Guzma and Plumeria are actually competent criminals planing to destroy the world like last 4 evil teams
Again hope we don't get a world destruction plot from team skull, don't care if Aether or even the Ultra beasts are planning world destruction
>Lillie goes nowhere and any mystery around her is simply like oh I maybe someone's relative but that's it
Don't care much about lillie put pretty sure she's being severly hyped by GF and will just fall flat.
>>28386902
>Aether ends up controversial like Zinnia.
The character that has the starter that's strong against yoursis nobody, because it goes unused, there is no lore or mystery behind it, they just decided to switch it up for this gen and use the one weak to yours this time.Fans accuse this of being evidence of Pokemon's casualization.
>>28387114
Everyone seems to be hyped as fuck but I'm super worried about the story myself
>>28387300
People continue to argue that Pokemon has always been easy

These would really burn me fuck FUCK
gotta admit these 7th gen characters dont feel like they belong in pokemon at all. ive been getting a final fantasy feeling about these new gens since 5th gen
>Team Skull is a ruse and Guzma is actually the Captains' Captain and holder of the last Z stone.
>Aether Foundation is also a ruse and Lusamine is the Captains' Vice-Captain and holder of the dragon z-stone
>Ultra Beasts are another ruse and everyone is OK with Ayy Lmaos living in Hawaii.. They also happen to be Alola's Elite 4.
>Guzma, Plumeria and Gladion never use more than 4 Pokemon
>Aether are just good guys that invent the way of bringing Gen 1 mons to Gen 7
>Hyperspace hints are all just leading up to, you can bring Pokemon from the past (Gen 1 VC) to the present
>no real postgame
>no E4 you can only rematch the Champion and maybe Kahunas individually
>80 or less new Pokemon
ITT: we make the same thread for the third consecutive time in two days
>>28387176
Outside the second point you're describing every single Pokemon game.
>>28387176
Holy shit I complett forgot that this is likeky
>male customization is still garbage
>chicken does not appear if you play as a boy and thus has no cute/unique battle animations
Literally no reason to play male if the above are true.
>>28386902
>After the first island is done and you're in the middle of the second island, Team Skull comes and fucks everything up
>After you stop them Alola sets up gyms and the game resumes as it would have in every previous game.
>>28386902
Wicke has exactly as much screen time as she did in the trailer
You never see her again after this and you never battle her
Nobody makes any sort of reference to this in-game and it just feels like her part was cut due to time restraintsWhy go on living?
>Kukui gives you a pass to a post game area.
>It's a battle maison
FUCK
>>28387580
this all this board is anyways aside from pseudo-porn threads
>>28387723
It is very possible that the game goes into shit overdrive after the first island. XY goes at the speed of light after the third gym.
>>28387777
Quads of truth
I'm excited for Battle Maison, Hawaii edition, especially with how comfy the Hoenn one's island is

NO! FOR THE LOVE OF GOD NO!
pessimsitic bump
>>28387784
Yeah, the pacing could be mad. Remember how huge the Mega plot seemed, and it was rekagated to one area and then done
>>28386912
Your mom is gonna suck.

Soooooo, Cyrus with DPPl?
Rotom Pokedex will be obnoxious and will soil the species' reputation
>still no apricorn pokeballs
I can't really be disappointed about this though.
>>28386902
>Aether are super goodie two-shoes.
>They help out across many communities in Alola with the goal of expanding to other regions eventually.
>Team Skull are a bunch of thugs. They don't work off a grand scheme so much as they cause big trouble. From taking over buildings just to party and wreck the place to stealing things for the sake of taking them.
>Guzma really just wants to make life as hard as possible for the folks he feels robbed him of his chance to make a real difference.
>Aether and Skull scuffle and while the average goons are fairly evenly matched, at the start of the game Skull's admins are far stronger battling trainers. Left alone, Skull can overpower Aether's attempts to run them off. This is because Lusamine and friends just don't have much will to fight. They'd rather help pokemon.
>Turns out that Aether has been researching, in secret, about a Legendary pokemon whom they believe is actually currently trapped somewhere in Alola. Stuck with no way out for who knows how long.
>Lusamine believes that it'd be wrong to leave it to a cruel fate like wasting away and has dedicated attention to "saving" it.
>Just when Lusamine and her friends locate a way to save it, Guzma's crew manages to steal the doohicky needed to make it all work out.
>Guzma realizes it'd really screw things up for the leadership if he "popped the cork on that bad boy" without doing something to help keep it calm. He moves forward with the idea, essentially startling the legendary pokemon into a defensive rage.
>Like usual, they've underestimated a legendary Poke. Without being defeated the world stand to fall into eternal day/night.
>>28392602
>Secondary story has Lusamine feeling very down on the prospects of Aether's future. She feels that somewhere along the line, in spite of truly loving pokemon, she's lost what it means to be a trainer entirely. She speculates that she never would have stood a chance at helping that Legendary pokemon as she wouldn't have been strong enough to be it's equal - like you are.
>She asks you to help her remember what it means to be a trainer.
>Queue UB storyline.
You can't explore the oceans' depths and encounter a lot of cool environments and new Pokémon.
