It's literally not the same. Crystal onyx had lore and his entire color was changed to look like he was made of crystals. This isjust normal Pikachu with a diamond texture applied over it's normal model and texture.
Cope
Also not the same. That was a giant Dragonite before Dragonite was even decided. This was also meant to be a supposed to be a unite Dragonite or Pokemon lore wise, since it was EXTREMELY rare for any modern way Pokemon to ever reach this size. The last time we saw a Pokemon that wasn't legendary this giant naturally was back in the hoenne anime, where it revived some ancient versions of modern Pokemon that were that huge. There was also that whole giant Gengar situation. Lorewise, that shit did not happen outside of the old ages, and even those were unique cases. The whole Dynamax lore explanation completely contradicts and fricks that over.
i always thought pokemon came in different sizes and this was just a giant dragonair
The early Pokemon anime did do this, quite a bit. Ash had a small and then larger Crabby (or the evolved form). Pokemon early on came with different sizes, fur colors, and even some hair differences.
Theres going to be lore, but its going to be phoned in bullshit. Megas were the only thing that had any promise, but they canned that immediately after oras. Theyre too busy trying to indoctrinate the next generation of kids every year with new pokemon and something superficial to "distinguish" it from the past games.
It's litterally already there anon, on the site I believe.
Something fell into this region (there is litterally a giant vortex in the center) and pokemon in this region get this special terenergy
Honestly, if I got a penny for every time an alien being fell into a pokemon region giving them a new mechanic I would get 2 pennies. Not a lot, but it strange it happen in 2 regions one after another
>would get 2 pennies. Not a lot, but it strange it happen
Frick up with the overused reddit meme, it didnt just "happen" they chose to reuse a lame excuse. Just say its a contrived point theyved used twice now.
They cant just use ultra beasts anymore? Gimmicks are just like cheap chores for gamefreak now, huh.
>noooo you overused a meme, not really gigachad of you, right? lepepeface
don't waste your life getting angry at people having fun anon, it's not worth
Anyway, I don't get why they decided to use the same shit 2 times in a row.
And this time istead of you getting the 2 leggendaries to fight the 3rd one (the actual villain), they....give them to you, earlier, possibly to still fight the 3rd one later on
's lore for megas, zmoves and dynamax
's definitely not going to be lore for this new gimmick
But the lore for dynamax was always shit. Zmoves barely needed any lore and is ignored because it's not a big deal. Dynamax was actually stupid as well. The whole Alpha Pokemon idea at least made sense and coincided with past lore of giant Pokemon, despite it dropping the rarity thing. Like others have said, this crystal shit will be moronic. I don't know why they couldn't have just stuck to megas or just went off with making Pokemon with unique hairstyles or colors. If anything, just have Pokemon have a different stat range they can be found in. If a Pokemon is slightly larger, it may have more ATK or DEF. If it's a bit smaller, it can evade more but is squishy. They don't have to keep adding these new forms and modes. Mega should have been the end of it.

The worst part is that these massive new forms they keep adding get canned after their region is moved on from. The only one that stayed is Mega Evolution. Dynamax has no lore reason to come back ANYWHERE outside of that region. It was a dumb gimmick anyway.

So they're just gonna keep abusing the whole aliens granting everything new abilities thing? Holy shit... >They cant just use ultra beasts anymore?
No, it's always going to be exclusive to a region bullshit. People forget that they used to do this with menus too. Remember the BAttle Finder? Pokech? Remember CHARACTER CUSTOMIZATION was originally going to only be a region exclusive feature to X/Y? People lost their shit when they heard the next game was going to drop it for that officially stated reason and Gamefreak had to run that back. They're always going to do these dumb region exclusive gimmicks. It just moved from small features to massive balance and lore changes.
>So they're just gonna keep abusing the whole aliens granting everything new abilities thing? Holy shit
I liked the meme theory of some extra dimensional being dropping piece of itself into reality and those become specific leggendary pokemon, so I can't say I hate this, but at least change it up a bit lol
>Pokemon doesn't have lore.
Wrong. >Every media contradicts each each and loregays trying to make sense of all of this are looking for the noose.
That's because the game lore and Anime lore are different, though they carry similar themes. The games are now starting to contradict and retcon already established game lore just for the sake of features that are already too stupid to even be worth doing that for.
Pokedexes are canonically written by trainers, i.e. 10-14 year olds. Everything else is vague bullshit that barely establishes anything and wont matter for the next games. And the games have been contradicting each other ever since gen 3 even without the anime's intervention. Wish they would just own up to this kind of shit.
I wish they'd expand on existing systems instead of ditching them for a new gimmick every generation
I mean, gigamax was Megas on everyone + Zmoves on every move but for only 3 turns
This one is going to be too just anothe flavor of that, a trasform (the type, this time) and a boost to your move (but this time it doesn't change)
I have yet to find someone that genuinely like the new gimmick, everyone, even the people that don't hate it, get how fundamentally flawed that shit is
I wonder if we are getting some special "superteracrystal" form, like gigantamax
seem to be the new modus operandi >a generic gimmick that everyone can use >but also special forms, lol, those peluche won't sell themself
It is pretty simple, but I liked some of the boss gimmicks, like that one doctor regenerating his health until you pop the hearts that form around the room. I just found it pretty charming in general, but it definitely could use some more freedom and engaging elements.
Please dont fall for more gimmicks. The moment they announced a different gimmick in sun and moon was the moment they started nailing the coffin of pokemon.
Wouldnt have to if pokemon fans didnt laugh at a a gartbage bag, gears, and icecream for 3 years and make gamefreak pissyfit themselves into shitting the bed for the next decade. Its been a steady decline since.
>>The year is 2050
are now 3000 pokemons to catch >>The 30th gimmick has been anounced
pokemon can turn into a reskin of charizard, pikachu, or mewtwo >>But certain gen1 and the current gen pokemon get the ultra super mega giga deluxe rainbow diamond gold shit frick form >>The graphics are still from the 3ds >>All previous generations are dlc >>It releases >>It makes millions as susual >>The next day >>New gen is announced
The only good variations on pokemon have been regional types, megas, and alphas. Everything else is to sucker in more people into thinking this game has something new to offer. At some point the amount of pokemon and the different bullshit variants will outnumber breeds of real animals.
The type change thing can be interesting for PvE. I'll wait to see how it influences romhacks. I don't care if Pokemon copies YW. I'm not a shareholder. Yokai is auto battle RPS garbage.
>still a big huge unskippable cutscenes to use
Please... just let me turn it off. Battles already take a fricking year. I'm already exhausted knowing raid battles are coming back, hopefully whatever they did to the "timing" also removed the stupid shield bullshit.
just one more thing to the list, hope they could steal the fun
impossible, gamefreak is too busy making more legendaries they do frick all with.
Yes
not the same
Cope
oh boy cant wait for them to also bring fun battles from the anime into the games. theyll defintely do that, right?
i always thought pokemon came in different sizes and this was just a giant dragonair

Yeah, no shocker or news, but early pokemon anime treated them as more animals with different sizes/features/etc
Pokemon doesn't have lore. Every media contradicts each each and loregays trying to make sense of all of this are looking for the noose.

when
remakes shit for brains
remakes are litterally a different timeline
I mean, gigamax was Megas on everyone + Zmoves on every move but for only 3 turns
This one is going to be too just anothe flavor of that, a trasform (the type, this time) and a boost to your move (but this time it doesn't change)
>The games are now starting to contradict and retcon each other
In what ways? I didn't notice
Where is the ugly retarted hat?
>no cartoony crystal on top of his head to show a type
yup, not the same thing at all
wheres the dumb crystal on jibanyans head then
Uh?
what the frick is a jibanyan
the cat in the OP maybe
Not sure why then, my point was that that onix had nothing to do with the new gimmick
God this is so much worse than dynamax it's unreal, which was already so much worse than mega evolutions/gigantamax.
dynamax appealed to macro fetishists, so where the frick is the hmofamax game
I have yet to find someone that genuinely like the new gimmick, everyone, even the people that don't hate it, get how fundamentally flawed that shit is
I wonder if we are getting some special "superteracrystal" form, like gigantamax
seem to be the new modus operandi
>a generic gimmick that everyone can use
>but also special forms, lol, those peluche won't sell themself
Oh yeah for sure, some diamond mons where the rest are crystals, or something. And you can be sure charizard will be one of them.
I wish Yokai Watch would make a comeback. I want to see more of Jibanyan.
The gameplay felt a little too moronic, to be fair.
It is pretty simple, but I liked some of the boss gimmicks, like that one doctor regenerating his health until you pop the hearts that form around the room. I just found it pretty charming in general, but it definitely could use some more freedom and engaging elements.
I like it. I also saldy suspect that this crystal shader will run at SILKY SMOOTH 5 FPS during battle.
Please dont fall for more gimmicks. The moment they announced a different gimmick in sun and moon was the moment they started nailing the coffin of pokemon.
>I said the nail meme
you say that every gen since black and white, literally the same fricking post, with the same meme, every gen.
Wouldnt have to if pokemon fans didnt laugh at a a gartbage bag, gears, and icecream for 3 years and make gamefreak pissyfit themselves into shitting the bed for the next decade. Its been a steady decline since.
It's a v-very big coffin
>>The year is 2050
are now 3000 pokemons to catch
>>The 30th gimmick has been anounced
pokemon can turn into a reskin of charizard, pikachu, or mewtwo
>>But certain gen1 and the current gen pokemon get the ultra super mega giga deluxe rainbow diamond gold shit frick form
>>The graphics are still from the 3ds
>>All previous generations are dlc
>>It releases
>>It makes millions as susual
>>The next day
>>New gen is announced
Are you making a statement or challenging it?
thats right
The gimmick is that they turn into crystals? I don't get it.
Neither did getting very big or having a fifth move make any sense. The moment gamefreak abandoned megaevolution we were doomed.
The only good variations on pokemon have been regional types, megas, and alphas. Everything else is to sucker in more people into thinking this game has something new to offer. At some point the amount of pokemon and the different bullshit variants will outnumber breeds of real animals.

Feels good to be a digichad
No it doesn't. We waited 5 years for a shitty VN to release
>Steel-type Lugia and Shuckle will become a reality
all i want is death
>all i want is death
>all i want is the death of modern gamefreak
better
it's monotype change, not 3rd type, so it's pure shit gimmick, literally nobody will use that trash outside of collectors.
>getting a stab-like or double stab boost to a type is shit
>going from taking x4 from a certain type to x1/2 is shit
It's okay when anyone does it. Don't talk shit about Dianyan.
Any of you gays that have done your reps, how hard is it to play and enjoy Yokai Watch if you can pass N2? I loved the anime and want to get into it
Yes, no one cares if you did it first
And thankfully everyone cares negatively when you do it second
Game Freak has poached Level-5 employees before so why not their ideas?
I wish they'd expand on existing systems instead of ditching them for a new gimmick every generation
Why does pikachu have a spiderman hat?
>still a big huge unskippable cutscenes to use
Please... just let me turn it off. Battles already take a fricking year. I'm already exhausted knowing raid battles are coming back, hopefully whatever they did to the "timing" also removed the stupid shield bullshit.
