It's still called Magnezone, has the same typing, stats, abilities and attack pool as the regular Magnezone, but it has a separate dex number because it's not actually Magnezone and they needed to pad out the dex.
Kind of. You know how humans have a missing link between us and Early ape like humans? It’s like that, but with Pokémon. So expect an early proto “jigglypuff” or a futuristic “Amoonguss”. Similar looking Pokémon, but different enough to be their own species.
Khu implied earlier that we’re getting a dex as large as XY, but the Pokémon there after are these time travel misfits. So 70 new + 30 time Pokémon
You're wrong. Ancient forms =/= regional fakes. The 3 new mechanics are: ancient/future forms, crystal mode in battle, and regional fakes. Regional fakes are Pokemon that look like an existing Pokemon's motif, but a different species.
We really won't know until we see if the open world will actually be as open as Gamefreak is implying and even then, the gameplay will still be old Pokemon so it's already inferior to PLA, but maybe the open world and story potential will make it at least be better when SWSH
They are too big to risk falsely advertising their flasgship game series, which introduces all the new pokémon for the varying departments to monetise. TPC officially apologised when Twiglight Wings showed Dewgong, when it was supposed to be based off Sword and Shield and Dewgong never got added to Galar. It's going to be open world, because they're not opening themselves up to tarnish their brand. They didn't market Legends as open world, but the drooling frickers online, who couldn't find the official site sure tried to say that it was.
Okay, but we'll need to see the execution
According to the """leaks""", the dex has 400 which is already LESS than base SWSH without DLC, so I don't know if Gamefreak even bothered to learn their lesson
>this game WILL have a lot of dlc
It'll get a wave in June of 23, another in November '23 (with an accompanying full on-cart version for $90) before being replaced by another new game for November '24. Dexit is final, memeing about endless DLC won't change that.
Base SS was 400 moron, 35 transfer-only and 200 added with both parts the DLC.
Mald however long you wish. Stop spreading misinformation, because Game Freak lit the fuse on your tampon yet again.
According to the leak this is coming from, it's just a small amount, so they won't bloat too much, they will be considered new pokemon with the fake gimmick, the ancient forms won't be considered new forms
We're likely getting around the same amount of new Pokémon as the last few gens. It's no different from Megas taking up a lot of time in Gen VI, or regional forms in Gen VII and VIII.
I get the regional forms and the regional only evolutions.
But this is CHEAP as frick.
We have 2 pokémon being the same BUT they have other pokédex number and name. Like, instead of a "Pikachu" you'll have a "Ikachup" that's mostly the same just changes the color and has a new dex number.
It seems that they're very desesperate to reach the 1000 pokémon and they lack of ideas.
I think they're just giving you a stupid reason to comeback to gen 9. Like, if you want to play with that "Ikachu", you should play that game because they aren't transferable.
I think these will LOOK like old mons. But they will be different as a creature.
For example this guy will look like oxydized magnezone but will not have eyes where magnezone has.
Regional forms opened the way for lazy design recycling.
Watch muh 130 new pokemon being 60 new + 70 reskins of OLDER mons. not the ones that got dex cut by SwSh cause that means new model 🙂 and with this they can just change texture 🙂
SWSH DLC made the description of the Galarian Birds very deliberate, they are only called Articuno, Zapdos and Moltres because of the quality the people saw in them.
But in this game, it'll be the real extension of >No, this is actually a new Pokemon
The Galarian Birds were actually different though, so we'll see what we get
G'maxes weren't new forms dude. There was still only 400 'mons and 35 transfer-bonus ones (Khu's said there's a rake of transfer-only critters in-game already). 400 in-dex and 35 transfer-only would be the same damn thing as SS and that's ignoring the new gimmick WILL give some pokémon new forms, like megas were new forms for older pokémon and Gigantamax were new forms for older pokémon.
I think I like this shit, whatever it is, cause it gives new names and stuff to old pokemon. regional variants got stale right after gen 7, and I always disliked that they had the same cry and names as the originals. The hell is a Sandslash made of ice and I think you can hear flames in Vulpix/Ninetales cries
This is only a problem because they didn't do it from the start, the national dex is simply the best way to order Pokemon and it's by generation, but it's something TPCi has been trying to eliminate because it has always been confusing, all the way back with the likes of Pichu (#172) evolving into Pikachu (#25)
I've seen threads here dedicated to giving regional forms names and they should have always been their own species, and they always have as much effort put into them as new species so I don't see why this would be "taking slots"
It'll be cool seeing different forms of the same Pokemon interacting for once, you just know they've been wanting to do it since Alolan Vulpix has been a thing
This is why it's weird people call GF lazy when its the exact same as Regional Forms, they just have different names and take up a slot now. Hell they might even be MORE different than regional forms.
>and they always have as much effort put into them as new species
LMAO, yeah bruh, let's just take this Vulpix and RECOLOR it, holy shit that's so much work!
I wouldn't mind regional forms if they made more differences for them. Galarian Meowth was a decent example and deserved its own dex number.
have as much effort put into them as new species >DUDE LMAO WHAT IF WE PAINTED YAMASK’S EYE PURPLE AND GAVE IT SOMETHING DIFFERENT TO HOLD >DUDE LMAO WHAT IF WE MADE SANDSHREW SLIGHTLY FATTER AND RECOLORED IT WHITE >DUDE LMAO WHAT IF WE GAVE RATTATA A MUSTACHE AND BLACK FUR >DUDE LMAO WHAT IF WE SHAT DIARRHEA ALL OVER SAMUROTT AND STYLED ITS BEARD SLIGHTLY DIFFERENTLY
how does it feel to be a shit-eating moron, anon?
>mimics
I suppose that is better name, but people should brush up their biology since pokemon insists on using them. Still can't believe people don't understand why Perrserker has a different name and dex number.
>"reminder this pic doesn't confirm or deny anything"
>ITS REAL

Stfu and go back to pleddit homosexual
>reddit moron
>tells other to go on reddit
good try, but no
>its just an example
So is the "magnezone" called something else or is it still just magnezone
Something else, since it is a different Pokémon with a different dex number.
That sucks
It's still called Magnezone, has the same typing, stats, abilities and attack pool as the regular Magnezone, but it has a separate dex number because it's not actually Magnezone and they needed to pad out the dex.
thanks doc
I still don't fricking get it
We are going to get regional variants that will actually take a fricking slot?
No, the original post
was talking about the "regional fakes"

You're wrong. Ancient forms =/= regional fakes. The 3 new mechanics are: ancient/future forms, crystal mode in battle, and regional fakes. Regional fakes are Pokemon that look like an existing Pokemon's motif, but a different species.
IE: New Diglett is an Eel, not a mole.
Stop using the name regional fakes holy frick I want to strangle the moron zoomer who pushed this name
You mean the leaker who literally introduced the term? Go take your meds autist.
I’ll use Digimon as an example.
Regional forms - Falcomon and Falcomon (2006)
Whatever this is - Gabumon and Psychemon
Patamon and Tsukaimon
Palmon and Aururaomon
Goburimon and Shamamon
Yeah, I just used one as an example to try to illustrate the difference.
He's just being a digimon sperg. The far superior tcg and vg. Can't even dress your pokemon in the main series lolol.

400 something. SwSh had 400 as the Dex numbers but it had like 20 pokémon in the code before DLC and. this game WILL have a lot of dlc.
>this game WILL have a lot of dlc

It's not saying it has a massive open world, it's not saying is filled with things to do, hell "richly expressed" is such an ambiguous term.
I mean both people that played it so far(Kaka and Khu) loved it.
>both people that played it so far(Kaka and Khu)

Thanks Doc
why are they inflating the dex numbers like this?
According to the leak this is coming from, it's just a small amount, so they won't bloat too much, they will be considered new pokemon with the fake gimmick, the ancient forms won't be considered new forms
Crunch
What are you eating?
Game developers
We're likely getting around the same amount of new Pokémon as the last few gens. It's no different from Megas taking up a lot of time in Gen VI, or regional forms in Gen VII and VIII.
So it’s just cross-gen evos?
>"Pokémon Echo Fighters"
I get the regional forms and the regional only evolutions.
But this is CHEAP as frick.
We have 2 pokémon being the same BUT they have other pokédex number and name. Like, instead of a "Pikachu" you'll have a "Ikachup" that's mostly the same just changes the color and has a new dex number.

Watch muh 130 new pokemon being 60 new + 70 reskins of OLDER mons. not the ones that got dex cut by SwSh cause that means new model 🙂 and with this they can just change texture 🙂
So they are selling reskins as new pokemon. Great.

But in this game, it'll be the real extension of
>No, this is actually a new Pokemon
The Galarian Birds were actually different though, so we'll see what we get
You guys are forgetting that according to Khu, these aren't forms, these are actual dex slots.
If you compare the count of 400, to SWSH's Gigantamax's, that means SWSH actually does have more Pokemon at Base than SV will.
G'maxes weren't new forms dude. There was still only 400 'mons and 35 transfer-bonus ones (Khu's said there's a rake of transfer-only critters in-game already). 400 in-dex and 35 transfer-only would be the same damn thing as SS and that's ignoring the new gimmick WILL give some pokémon new forms, like megas were new forms for older pokémon and Gigantamax were new forms for older pokémon.
>70 New
That's fricking dogshit bro
No leaker said it was 70
I think I like this shit, whatever it is, cause it gives new names and stuff to old pokemon. regional variants got stale right after gen 7, and I always disliked that they had the same cry and names as the originals. The hell is a Sandslash made of ice and I think you can hear flames in Vulpix/Ninetales cries

how does it feel to be a shit-eating moron, anon?
can't even link properly
Just confirmed by Kaka, no new Magnemite mimic
Electric gym leader confirmed older lady
Can we please just csll them Convergent evolutions, and not regional fakes?
People will think they are actual evolutions, so no. I vote mimics, though.
>mimics
I suppose that is better name, but people should brush up their biology since pokemon insists on using them. Still can't believe people don't understand why Perrserker has a different name and dex number.
That looks like a human girl.
It is going to be a downgrade isn't it? I've been waiting for them to give us a Fire/Steel Magnet line since they started this moronic variant gimmick
>tfw they give this one levitate
Gonna be glorious.
