I have been waiting for a Mimikyu affection-based evolution.

The fact that they completely ditched the second screen functionality and put the whole menu behind a button press is also a good indicator that they are at least thinking about how they will work on the switch

Bullshit.

>>30646013
Anon instead of being lazy and saying bullshit, how about a quick google search or 2. we've known about the lycanroc and mimikyu forms ever since the global link artwork was released and just recently found the models in the games data.

Are you retarded? Pkhex only lists two forms because those are the only ones that WORK and have a MODEL and SPRITE.
We're talking about another PLACEHOLDER form, you idiot.

>>30645758
He meant Global Link. There's placeholder PGL artwork for a few Pokémon, including non-Alolan Raticate (lol), Original Color Magearna, and Marshadow, but more importantly there's one placeholder for Lycanroc and two for Mimikyu. Totems don't have PGL artwork so it's not like with the demo datamine, these are unquestionably new forms meant for the next game.

>>30646197
>We're talking about another PLACEHOLDER form, you idiot.
So, nothing, fucking mongoloid.

The first one is actually true but I'm not sure about the other one

People will be playing Stars and they will still be saying it doesn't exist.

Both of those have their own artwork and there are two more placeholders after that you tard.

>>30646350
Again, it's fucking nothing. Marshadow's portrait is a placeholder too but he actually is in the game. They probably ditched whatever they were going to do with Mimikyu and Lycanroc. Move on.

>>30646505

>>30646647

That's a terrible argument. The only things you need to know that there will be a Stars are these things:

1. 3DS did shit (in part) without pokemon. 3DS is a Pokemon playing machine to many.

2. No StreetPass

3. Almost no bottom screen functions (aside from Pelago, which basically doesn't use the top screen a lot of times)

4. The empty slots, and the walking models OP mentioned

Empty locations mean nothing (aside from the lots, which are clearly made with something in mind).

>>30646197

Could have easily been an original intent to have:
>Costume
>Costume-broken
>Costume-removed

The latter being removed either during balancing or redesign.

Just because something is in the files does mean it ever went beyond a designer's original thoughts and partial-implementation. It could also be something in place ready for Mega-form on Switch, or anything else you dream up. You'll never know without asking the person that single option in.

I just want PSS the ability to be able to see your friends, or whoever is online or nearby and being able to trade or battle with ease.

>>30645705
Alternate universe Lake the Sunne/Moone is where you get the second Cosmog.

People will be playing Stars while saying it doesn't exist.

The Lake of the Sunne/Moone is really weird

It serves no point besides getting the extra Cosmog in the entire game, yet it has huge hallways, and an epic theme that is used nowhere else in the entire game

I'm not gonna instantly jump to "STARS CONFIRMED" but it does seem really weird for there to be such a big, atmospheric place with the music being serious enough to the point where the music doesn't change if you use your ride pager (the only other place to do this is the ice pathway right before the elite 4 place iirc) in the middle of nowhere without anything massive happening there

Before I beat the game I originally thought it was going to be the location where you fight the box legendary of whichever version of Sun/Moon you got

>>30650558
it's where you sync your game to the sequel versions/expansions

This.

SuMo dropped the ball in not giving a constant feed of online and nearby people. Took me way too long to figure out how to battle my friends online.

>>30654494

>>30646231
I'd assume Mimikyu will get some event form (dressed as Raichu or Pikachu Libre or some shit)

But Lycanroc is definitely a weird one

>>30645897
This would be kind of clever, actually.

If Stars is a thing, they may pull a Platinum and make it take place a few months after the original so that Gyms are complete.

I'm almost sure that in Stars both Solgaleo and Lunala appear already evolved and Cosmog will get a third potential evolution.

>>30645961
the only thing that supports this is the fact that marshadow is small and a ghost. Why would it gain fairy type from putting on a sheet/ gain fighthing for taking a sheet off?
Marshadow isn't a horrifying monster that will kill you as mimikyu's pokedex alludes to, it's a cute little ghost fighter.
There is no evidence, no reason, and no need to continue this theory.

Which game needs a third version/sequel more badly: XY, or SM?

>>30645705
>muh animation
it's called generic assets, they do it all at once to be safe and save money.
It's like believing Z was gonna happen on the WiiU because of the high poly count.
Also assets order is irrelevant. It just means the art team validated him earlier than the rest.

Doesn't the unused models point to cut content instead of hinting future things?

Mohn was probably going to be involved in the plot, but they probably didn't want to take away the spotlight from Lusamine.

>>30657551
XY needs to be written off so that everyone can move on with their lives.

I honestly don't know why more people aren't saying this.
Apparently there are exactly 8 of those big empty square plots in the game- future gym sights confirmed?

>>30646505
Marshadow has a placeholder image because he's not officially announced you retard.

>>30657551
>whynotboth.png
Seriously, though.
What if the next game (stars or whatver the fuck it is, who cares (that StarZ comment was actually relatively clever)) was a sequel to both XY and SM? Took the Kanto / Jotho references everywhere in both games and ran the fuck with them, so we basically get a Gold/Silver-type game, where you go to Either Alola or Kalos first, and then the other second.

>>30659341

It's also true but it comes from the Global Link itself and not the bank (there is placeholder artworks for a new Lycanroc and another Mimikyu)

> its not like there's an unreasonable size limitation that is preventing it

It's not much about size limitation I believe, it's about the amount of time and work it requires.

What if there was a time leap during the plot of a game
