So Cosplay Pikachu is no longer in the code of Sun and Moon.
They deleted/didnt include them in 7th gen
However Eternal Floette with its signature move LIght of Ruin is still in the game
If they wanted to get rid of her after gen 6 they wouldnt include her like Cosplay Pikachu forms but its still there
So AZs Floette will probably appear in some way in this generation
>>29933699
Spiky Ear Pichu was found in the game's sprites too
>>29933752
huh i wonder why
>>29933752
Is this true?
Also why 3 Greninja? I mean, one is supposed to be the normal, then ash's, but the third?
>>29933879
They made a second Greninja just to have the Battle Bond ability. This one can't breed.
>>29933752
>>29933869
To be fair a lot of it could just be left over. Item descriptions from all the way back in Gen 4 are still in the text files.
>>29933752
Wait, Hat Pikachu doesnt have a sprite?
>>29933879
The normal, non-Battle Bond, form of Ash Greninja. It's technically a different Pokémon for some things.
>>29933752
Check the box sprites here https://projectpokemon.org/research/sunmoon/
That list you posted was slightly wrong/incomplete. The Ash-Pikachu with different hats aren't there for example.
The new one doesn't have Spiky Eared Pichu or the Cosplaychus, but still includes Eternal Floette.
>>29933699
>this generation
It's fucking done, dude. There will be no more games this gen
>>29933943
>>29933894
Same with Zygarde?
>>29933752
Uh...doesn't this image prove OP wrong? All the cosplay Pikachus are right there.
>>29933987
Yup
>>29933989
See >>29933899
They're just leftovers from previous games.
It's because they were idiots and didn't block it from being put into Pokebank like Cosplay Pikachu. They probably had to keep it in so they wouldn't have to worry about people trying to transfer it in. Eternal Floette is done.
why they didn't inclued cosplay pikachu? they already have the code and the models
>>29933752
This would have confirmed gen 4, but sadly >>29933919
Damn
They probably just didn't have a reason to remove Floette. Cosplay Pikachu only got removed because they decided it was easier to put the new hat Pikachu in their data slot. (if you try to inject a Cosplay Pikachu, you get a hat Pikachu)
>>29934046
>implying it wouldn't be easy to block eternal floette from being transfered once in poke bank.
>>29934046
>>29934189
Zygarde got new forms in SM and even Dexio and Sina are back.
I dont get why people think Floette wont get some distribution, specially since the only other mythical is Marshadow (Magearna is this years QR code mythical)
>>29933869
Because it and AZ's Floette are permanent unchangable forms but cosplay Pikachu is temporary.
The Gen 4 Pichu and Cosplay Pikachu had transfer/trade restrictions because they were permanent forms introduced in the middle of a generation.
Things like Sky Shaymin, Black Kyurem or Hoopa Unbound can freely change back to their original forms if you really need to trade them, but Pichu and Cosplaychu couldn't. GF was just too lazy to come up with a way to transfer them to Gen 5/7 and decided to let them rot in HGSS and ORAS.
AZ's Floette, on the other hand, was in Gen 6 since XY, so there were no restrictions for her. I bet Hat-Pikachu will be the first Pikachu form able to the transferred to future generations as well.
They get rid of the Cosplay and Pichu but they still have Spinda variants?
Hat Pikachu is actually an evolved Spiky-ear Pichu timidly hiding its crippled ear.
>>29934596
This
>>29934596
So what's up with the Hat Pikachu anyway? Different stats/movesets/ability/etc? WHat makes it different beyond that it has Ash's hats?
>>29934717
Can use an exclusive super Thunderbolt Z-move while having a smug face.
>>29934717
Has a unique Z-move iirc
