A Game Informer guy just posted a gif of the Mimikyu part of the trailer https://twitter.com/KyleMHilliard/status/898385284257198080
Do they know something we don't?
>>33318620
>game journalism
Into the trash it goes.
>>33318620
At most I think mimikyu will get a new z-stone.
>>33318620
So what? Didn't they say they're going to disclose a new game function, not one of the new forms?
no one should blame game informer when they said it was small
>>33318645
i'm pretty sure that they meant it's gonna be a totem fight again, or it's gonna have more relevance into the story, since there's gonna be a zone full of pikachus i can see a mimikyu causing troubles in that zone and being relevant.
>>33318645
That is exactly what I thought it was when I saw that gif posted here a week ago. I do not like using Z moves so this means nothing to me.
>>33318620
A new form is very stupid to me, an evolution probably
Its most likely just a z move.
>>33318669
>evolution
>mid-gen
>>33318620
>>33318657
The new function will be making your own custom Mimikyu disguises.
>>33318698
Oh god this is so dumb that you're probably right.
>>33318645
>>33318667
>>33318688
That gif looks nothing like a Z move. If it were there wouldn't be trees. Did you people even play Sun and Moon?
>>33318713
I dunno man it would make Mimikyu instantly go from "don't care" to "amazing love it" for me assuming the custom disguises aren't only just other Pokemon.
sigh
Look, Mimikyu was a vry popular pokémon this generation and they know it. I'm sure it has a new form. But I dearly hope it's another costume, and not showing us what's underneath it.
Mimikyu's true body is said to so horrifying that it KILLS PEOPLE FROM FRIGHT. The truth is that nothing anyone can ever create will live up to that. Nothing will ever be scarier than the mystery. Please, just let it remain that way.
>>33318715
Intro to Totem Battle?
>>33318721
Idk man a Mimikyu with a Pachirisu desguise seems pretty great
>>33318721
To each his own. I wouldn't be very hyped if it was something like dress-up Mimikyu but I could see some people liking it.
>>33318739
Is this really how low our expectations have dropped for new Pokémon games? That the best we can hope for is form change?
AHAHAHAHAHAHA JESSIE-MIMIKYU THIS FRANCHISE IS FUCKING DEAD
>>33318726
>I dearly hope it's another costume, and not showing us what's underneath it
CONSIDER THE FOLLOWING
>Based on the popularity of Mimikyu, there are new forms revealed; one for every region
>Since Mimikyu is based on imitating another pokemon in hopes of earning its popularity, each of these forms is actually the most popular pokemon of each gen
I can't wait for Rayquakyu.
>>33318949
Rayquaza is really only the most popular on /vp/ because memes. Blaziken and Gardevoir outclass it.
Not like it matters because that would never happen. Gamefreak doesn't care about equal gen representation. It's why we have 7 pokerides, 4 of which being Kanto. New forms would just be Charizard, Snorlax, Jigglypuff, Mewtwo, Lucario, and Greninja.
>>33318726
>sigh
Please leave
>>33318988
>Gardevoir
Well... a Waifu Mimikyu would be fine by my book.
>>33318988
Rayquaza is very popular in japan
>>33319014
mimikyu is already waifu though.
>>33318769
considering how shit gamefreak makes their games lately then yes.
>>33318949
I'd rather have the customizable angle.
>>33318726
>sigh
fuck off to reddit faggot
>>33318715
this isnt sun and moon faggot
its a different game is it that unreasonable to think the z move animation is gonna be slightly different?
>>33318696
>what is Pokemon Platinum
>>33319106
A game that introduced several form changes but no new evolutions.
This is bait, right?
>>33319100
considering BW2 and ORAS didn't change any move animations or ORAS the Mega animation yeah it is
>>33319133
>electivire
>magmortar
>lickilicky
>dusknoir
>>33319162
You are retarded.
>>33319162
Those all existed in Diamond and Pearl. They just weren't in the regional Pokedex for some retarded reason despite being in the national Pokedex.
This is bait, right?
>>33319155
XY's hidden power animation was changed in ORAS
>>33318988
>Jigglypuff
Irrelevant outside of Smash Brothers, and the only reason why she's still there is because of how easy it is to implement her.
>>33319162
I know everyone is hating on you but I honestly remember Platinum adding those cross-gen evolutions too. Mandela Effect?
>>33319106
>>33319186
Platinun only introduced new forms
Diamond/Pearl was the new evolutions
>>33319173
Now guess what SM doesn't have.
>>33319186
you're underage
>>33318715
special z moves don't have background. Did YOU play the game?
also fuck ultra sun and moon
>>33319201
Why? Because I can actually spell properly? Try using some punctuation once in awhile, asshole.
>>33318726
>SIGH
Go back to /co/
>>33318949
What if Mimikyu could access the data on your save file and it alters it's design to look like the mon you use the most?
>>33319213
But they do.
>>33319233
That too much work for GF
So that is a big no no
>>33319215
no, because you remember something that obviously isn't true and the most likely cause is that you were fairly young during gen 4also for getting so mad about punctuation
>>33319233
I can't wait to see all the landorus-t mimikyus.
>>33319106
>Being this retarded
Imagine how much merchdise they can sell if every Pokemon had Mimikyu costume
Easy fucking money
>>33319233
>implying gf isn't a bunch of lazy faggots
in a perfect world it'd be like that and its stats would change according to each costume and maybe even giving a special move, but they only do that to shill pikachu
>>33318726
I agree.
>>33318726
Make it a new form-changing ability called Costume or some shit. The spidery legs would just be part of the new form, and would preserve some of the mystery of Mimikyu.
Ability: Costume
After getting hit by an attack (Status moves, entry hazards, and weather don't count. Or hell, put it so this happens at half-HP since GF loves abilities like that this gen) it extends a spidery form made of shadows out from the bottom of it's disguise. This causes it to trade some defense in exchange for more attack. Let's say 10 points each stat
>/vp/ acting like everyone who works for Game Informer is suddenly in on the entire plans of GF and have attained omnipresence on their activities
Guys, a couple of journos went there to do an interview, Masuda showed them some irrelevant documents back from Red/Blue to Ruby/Sapphire. That's it.
>>33319458
Anon the interviewers did an open Q&A and stated they were shown things about USUM that they have the go ahead to put out tomorrow.
>>33318620
According to their Reddit AMA,
>We learned about one specific new feature in the game, which we will post a video about on Friday
YAAASSS
https://www.reddit.com/r/pokemon/comments/6ucln2/ama_with_game_informer_magazine_about_their_trip/
>>33318657
Is this what the "Smeargle" leaker was on to?
Painting a new form?
>>33319646
They also said its something small
>>33318664
Calling it now. Mimikyu is the Totem of the Pikachu Trial.
>>33319654
But who is the captain?
>>33319659
Ash's Pikachu of corse
>>33318949
>He thinks they would EVER pander to any region or Pokémon that is not from Gen 1 or 2, or is Lucario/Greninja
New Islands. Calling it right now. If I'm wrong I will eat a sock on video.
>>33319675
Capping this. you better deliver faggot
>>33319675
They said its one small feature, not one reveal
Its more likely some new gimmick
>>33318726
You sound kind of dumb but you're right. The concept of Mimikyu is "ghost dressing up as Pikachu", we don't need to see what's underneath.
>>33319679
I won't be wrong so there will be nothing to deliver.
>>33318988
>Greshitja
You mean Braixen or Delphox
All I ever wanted from Mimikyu was a set of forms based on the dolls of other popular Pokemon. Purely aesthetic, of course.
>>33319424
so it basically steals miniors gimmick. aite
>>33318715
Are you retarded?
>>33318949
You mean
Fugkyu right?
>>33319186
It's because they weren't in the regional dex of DP. They still existed in post game.
>>33322693
In many ways, Gens 2 & 4 mirror one another. They both introduced Pokemon that you couldn't actually obtain until postgame for some retarded reason.
>>33318726
>not wanting a friendship + affection evolution where mimikyu accepts itself and doesn't need to pretend to be others
>>33320337
Greninja is literally the most popular pokemon right now
