Do rugby players hold the ball like this? Because the leaker

football and rugby is basicly the same, depends in which country you live

I hope it's a football monkey !

This probably mean he got an evolution with the protections and all.
Right now he's just in his pre-season/training evolution. can't wait to see more about him.

No, this is clearly an american football stance.

It can´t be a football stance since yo aren´t allowed to touch the ball with your hands in football.

Fact is, Pokemon isn't only played in America. And it's typically arrogant of you to imagine that it is. There are people on this board from all over. 'Football' doesn't mean 'American football' to a hell of a lot of them. So in a way it's you who is being culturally ignorant.

In fact, not in a way, You're being ignorant, full stop.

It's Rugby, recheck the death animation.

After you're tackled in Rugby, you set up the ball for the next dummy in the exact same way that is shown in the trailer.

This doesn't occur in American Football.

>>28658482
>>28658541
Holy shit, it's almost as if Pokemon designs are multi-faceted and draw from multiple inspirations! But no, it would be FUCKING IMPOSSIBLE for a Pokemon to draw from rugby AND football, or teamwork-based sports in general. Nope, nuh uh. No fucing way.

Instead, let's just argue semantics on an anonymous imageboard like the fucking morons we are because the ONLY thing worth discussing in this trailer was the position a ball (not even a specific ball, a fucking berry) is held, or kicked, etc.

>>28658438
You're being a full blown retard. Never did I say Pokemon is only played in America and I literally said we have two different meanings of the word 'football'. How is that ignorant?

I know what football means in America and to people worldwide. You know what football means to you and in America.

All I'm saying is that we can facilitate all discussion about "the football monkey" by;

1. seeing that it's not futbol/soccer monkey because it has a helmet and is using it's hands
2. seeing that it is either (undecidedly?) rugby or American football monkey
3. avoid the hurr football is played with feet shit

It's clearly not the worldwide definition of football because of it's appearance, so it would be best that when discussing the football monkey, you use the context specific attire (helmet) and stance (holding the ball with it's hands in a hunched over position), and traits ie. the receiver ability (American football has a Wide Receiver position) to mean that it is indeed American football (or alternatively rugby, we still don't know the full inspiration).

Lycanroc is Wolwerock and Oranguru is Kommadutan.
Personally love Wolwerock (nickname will still be Wuffels though), but Kommandutan is kinda eh

They work in teams of 11 (according to website description), the ability is Receiver, it's safe to say it's referencing American Football.

>>28657289

I mean, I played rugby for 9 years... played international tournaments... the only time you might see someone in a stance like that is a halfback on the back of a ruck. Even then I just don't see it.

Not that anon but in a country where neither sport is played, they just both fall into the "sport where white people throw a ball around" category

It's American football.

Anyone saying otherwise is intentionally shitposting or just stupid.

Look at the helment. Rugby players wear helmets now?

Look at the legs. Typical football padding.

Look at the stance. Typical center stance, a position in football.

Look at the ability. Receiver. Football is known for its receivers.

Just stop this. Calm your autism for just a moment and think logically and reasonably.

It's American Football.

As a rugby player:
-his stance is like an after-ruck.
-some rugby players use a "helmet", a padded one.
-they do play rugby in hawaii, a lot more than "football" as far as i know.
-his "helmet" looks kinda like it has a bandana

in rugby you pass the ball back-sideways, you can't pass it forward but you can't kick it tho.

I like this lemur, i'd like to thik its playing rugby but I guess they did it more neutral, so they don't have to explain anything

Given that the move it used showed was a forward pass and its pose is more like a Lineman ready to snap the ball than any Rugby pose and the game is set in the US I think it's more American football based than Rugby. but obviously Japans gr8 RWC upset game might have been cause for the initial concept. pokemon are allowed to have mixed/multiple inspirations
