>Gen 6 has Mega Evolutions
>Gen 7 has Z-Moves
What battle gimmick will GF introduce next gen?
>>31882970
Butt-fusion
>>31882970
More combination attacks, like the Pledges
Certain duos will have unique attacks
pokemon internet memes that are played on screen when a pokemon is sent out which gives it a stat boost
mega moves
Battle Bond is given to more Pokemon.But as usual it's only the popular ones plus some random staff favorites.
>>31882970
Fatalities.
>>31882970
Depends on what the hottest thing on Digimon currently is.
>>31883021
Ash-Pikachu
Ash-Charizard
Ash-Sceptile
Ash-Infernape
Ash-Krookodile
Ash-Incineroar
Hire me, Game Freak.
>>31883007
So like that one Smash 4 stage that connects to Miiverse?
>>31883014
Z-evolutions
>>31882970
mega pokemon with z moves?
>>31883031
>ash-incineroar
You mean ash-decidueye
>>31882970
Mega Evolution is kinda like a 4th evolution stage (for some Pokemon)
Z-Moves are kinda like an extra 5th move.
I wanna say maybe some gimmick that acts kinda like you have a 7th party member on your team but we already have Poke-Ride for that.
Maybe something like that, but in battle
>>31882970
Armor evolutions
Might as well go all out with the digishit pandering
>>31883070
Rowlet is the jokemon, Litten is the regional ace
>>31882970
Z-Abilities
>>31882970
You can choose a support move from one your pokemon on the bench and use it once per battle
It'd lets you use 2 moves in one turn
Support move could be shit like protect, helping hand, any priority move (Gives its priority to the move your front line pokemon choose), any stats boost (priority so you get the stats boosts before you attack), any weather moves etc
Hire me
>>31883072
Assist Pokemon. Each type has a special assist move, similar to a Z-Move. You only get 3 assists, but if the opponent uses a spread move on the turn you call an assist, the assist takes double the normal damage.
Super Abilities.
By giving a Pokemon a "Ability Gem" to hold, the Pokemon's inner power will be unleashed. The Super Ability varies from evolutionary lines to evolutionary lines (though certain lines may have differing abilities if they have split evolutions) but serves to augment the holder in unique ways. It does not replace the holder's current ability, meaning that the holder can have both their ability and their super ability active at the same time.
Examples of super abilities.
>Venusaur line: Takes half damage from all attacks if Venusaur moves before the attacker
>Charizard line: Gains STAB on dragon type moves
>Blastoise line: Gains steel type resistances and immunities
>Raichu line: Electric type attacks can hit ground type pokemon
>Gengar line: Ground type immunity
>Alakazam line: Psychic type attacks can hit dark type pokemon
>Machamp line: Dynamic Punch deals double damage against confused foes
>Hitmonlee: +1 priority on kicking moves
>Hitmonchan: +1 priority on punching moves
>Tyranitar line: Takes half damage from all attacks in Sandstorm
>Lucario line: Aura Sphere's BP raised to 140 and gains +1 priority
>Zoroark line: All attacks breaking Illusion will not damage the user
>>31883089
I didn't watch the anime after he got rowlet, did he also get litten ?
>>31883007
>Go, Seaking!
>Fuck yeah! Seaking's attack sharply rose!
>>31883138
Not yet, but they've been building up to it.
He caught Rockruff in today's ep, and the next ep focuses on Litten again, so it's only a matter of time.
>>31883132
I can see this happening.
That venasaur would be scary
>>31882970
More Ultra Beasts
Also the ones from Alola get domesticated abilities
Some unique
Some not.
>>31883132
>Hitmon abilities
Let's go one further.
Said abilities work regardless of opposing Pokemon's ability. It's not like those guys are sweepers, so I fail to see how Bruxish or Tsareena need to cockblock 'em.
>>31883153
please gf dont fucking ruin incineroar to me hes so perfect dONT MAKE AN ASHANIME VERSION PLS
>>31883132
While I am at it, super abilities for Johto and Hoenn starters.
>Meganium line: At the end of every turn, regains 1/10 of maximum HP
>Typhlosion line: +1 priority on fire type moves
>Feraligatr line: 50% bonus damage on physical moves during Rain
>Sceptile line: Leaf Blade is now a special attack, gains 30% bonus damage and reduces target's special defense by 1 stage
>Blaziken line: Immunity to priority moves
>Swampert line: Super effective attacks heals Swampert by 25% of the damage dealt
>>31883264
I guess that would be fair, since there's only one item slot.
>>31883305
he will not have 3 dark type ace in a row, don't worry
>the game will inevitably become an OHKO fest next gen
Why people want this?
>>31883064
Mega-fug is already a thing
>>31884116
Can't use Z Moves with fug silly
>>31883088
I don't know anything about Digimon but based on the picture we already have that with Metal Coat and such
>>31882970
Link monsters
>>31883132
this is a cool idea
>>31882970
An item that gives Pokemon a pseudo 3rd/second type, one for each type.
So you can give Celesteel and Skarmory the "dragon" type
>>31884080
OU already is pretty much.
>>31883031
>another fucking charizard forme
So what's the typing this time?
>>31883031
>Ash-Zard
>Despite Mega Zard X and Y already existing.
Stop this meme, it's not funny, and it will never be funny.
>>31884080
megas, z-moves, gems and weather wars already did that.
>>31883307
>Torterra: Loses Grass type weaknesses
>Infernape: Fighting type attacks are super effective against flying type foesTried to figure out an interesting way to incorporate Sun Wukong's extending staff without ripping off Decidueye's ability
>Empoleon: Sp.Attack increases by one stage each time Attack is increased
>Serperior: Gains +1 priority on all attacks if the user has 25% health or less left
>Emboar: Moves that have recoil damage now heals the user instead
>Samurott: Razor Shell's BP raised to 140 and guaranteed to crit against any Pokemon that has increased defense
>Chesnaught: Takes half damage from all attacks except for Super Effective attacks
>Delphox: Special Attack raised by 1 stage each time the user KOs an opposing pokemon
>Greninja: Attacks cannot miss.
>Decidueye: Gains +1 priority on ghost type moves
>Incineroar: If the user KOs an opposing pokemon, the next pokemon the opponent switches in will lose 25% of their max HP
>Primarina: Sound based moves has their BP increased by 50%
>>31883153
>>31883305
At this point, seeing some sort of personality on incineroar within the anime is the only chance to redeem it's horrible design.
>>31882970
Shielding your pokemon from attacks and eat up attacks that were destined to them
>>31883072
Following this logic there could be things like:
>Having a "third type"
>Being a "doubles/horde pokemon"
>Having more in-battle form changes
>Some extra way to manipulate Weather/Field Effects/X-Rooms and other things that effect all pokemon in battle.
>>31884546
>attacking trainers
In the old times it could be, but today they can't even call opponents as "enemy" or "foe".
>>31883153
You just gave me hopes that pokemon acutally did an updating intro, where they add new characters to it as it progresses. I love those. At least the ending does that with lillie.
>>31884603
Well, they aren't enemies or foes, Pokemon battling is a sport.
It would certainly be interesting if they did a Red 2 and Blue 2 taking place right after Sun/Moon following Lilly and Bill on their journey to discover the true meaning of...
HUMAN-POKEMON FUSION
Which will probably just be a battle-bond style mechanic.
>>31884633
W-what the fuck happened to that vulpix?
Satellites
Held items that attack on their own and can be targeted for attacks, but are immune to status and residual damage. They don't count as pokemon so they can be ignored. Only one per team.
>>31883132
>140BP fighting move that never misses and has priority
you have to be 18 to post.
>>31884830
>implying GameFreak wouldn't do something like this just because it's Lucario
>>31883031
Nah, it's more likely that it would be [Trainer's name]-Pokemon.
e.g. if you name your trainer Steve and get a battle bond Infernape it would be Steve-Infernape.
