>electric solar beam
Very cool idea
I was expecting Duraludon's evo it to be electric steel, but nope.
you can do Electric with Tera, tho. And, to abuse it even further, get Stalwart as HA to laugh at Lightning Rod users
This confirms old mechnics like Gigantamax don't prevent Pokémon from gaining new evolutions (as if Meowth, Pikachu and Eevee didn't already imply thusly)
>NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO BUT MEGAS LE BAD BECAUSE THEY ROB SHITMONS OF A POTENTIAL EVOLUTION BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAW
Anti-Megachuds on suicide watch.
Dippin appears to be a homage to appletun/Flapples GMax form
They did something similar with galarian slowbro since the mega didnt stop it from getting a new form
That's a different evo line, it doesn't really prove anything.
I have money on them not adding the items to evolve applin into appletun or flapple
it's a good thing applin is already in the base game then
Oh ha lmfao nvm then
We’ve still not seen a Pokémon with a Mega get a cross-gen because MEs are labelled as “an evolution beyond the normal boundaries evolution”. Whereas Gmax was launched with NFEs.
>Muh patterns
>"Why yes, I AM willfully blind to pattern recognition. How did you know?"
We just got a fricking Raikou Bronchosaur. This company doesn't keep track of that shit and if they do they will break it whenever they want.
It's imaginary
>Duraludon's evo turns into a literal bridge in its idle animation
And they had the gall to slap dragon type onto it.
What about it is Dragon?
fricking cringe
grow up, dude
cringe is an verb moron
>What about it is Dragon?
Dragon bridge?
>And they had the gall to slap dragon type onto it.
Duraludon was already dragon.
>What about it is Dragon?
The point of the line is pretty clearly that modern superstructures like skyscrapers and suspension bridges can be likened to steel dragons.
I like Electro Beam, but Thunder already synergizes with rain. Would have been cooler as a steel-type move.
Please understand rain needs all the buffs in the world it's such a shitty weather unlike broken shit like snow.
It also raises special attk and that makes it superior
inb4 75 accuracy
I mean, it's fine but kinda pointless? There's so many other pokemon out there that needed an evolution more than Applin.
Vile
Not the best or worst but meh, we knew they were coming, bit odd that we're getting these guys when Gen 2 and 5 are next for attention..
the signature move and the new ability both seem like they might have use in competitive play at least
>electric solar beam
Is there much point to this when Thunder exists? It needs to be like 140 BP to justify using
If you look at the pictures it actually appears to be electric meteor beam. hegets a boost before it fires
>bridge pokemon
>make it as big as a small vehicle
why the frick wouldn't you make a bridge pokemon at least the size of an onix/gyarados? at this size it looks like it resembles a fricking crawling bug
>it's a staple remover
They're literally making pokemon based on whatever they have lying around, also this confirms the inhaler shape of Duraludon was intentional.
did you literally miss it being a bridge?
>Toilet turns into San Francisco Bridge
A bit too tongue in-cheek wouldn't you think, Game Freak?
It's the "25 de Abril Bridge", you dumbass. We are in PokéPortugal and PokéSpain, not USA.
It's a "San Francisco is shit" joke.
I feel like they'd choose Vasco da Gama instead.
>el brijulas XD
Look, I consider myself pretty open to new pokemon designs, but fricking hell, even I draw the line here. This is an aggressively shit looking pokemon, jesus
At least Duraludon itself wasn't exactly a good looking Pokémon in the first place, so there was nothing to ruin.
The back legs make no sense when it goes bridgemode
they probably retract
I mean the placement.
nah, seems fine. he lies down
And his legs move back despite being fixed on his body. Notice the tail length is shorter because the body moved along?
They can't even plan this out right
huh, it's not fixed. you can see the joints
Look again
You shills will defend anything
>anything that disagrees me is a shill!
I am, even checking the vid
?t=158
it's clear it has joints there and it extends the poles on the hind legs
>Stamina/Sturdy
Stamina is cool
Sturdy + Electric meteor beam might be fun. If only it gets autotomize
kino, might be my favorite steel type
>character: time / effort
Clearly neither of which were spent on this design.
>A literal Bridge Pokemon
Unova Confirmed
It's an ace of Drayden's grandson
I just realized it’s when it’s standing up it’s a fricking staple remover
Does turner have asthma? Was he literally just looking at shit on his desk when he made This line lmAooooo
>turner
Looks better than Duraludon at least
Gotta be honest, watching the stream, didn't even notice that Applin was different until they told us. Guess it shows about these designs
I thought it was gonna be a regional form.
Yeah this looks like a regional form not an evolution.
https://www.pokemon.co.jp/ex/sv_dlc/ja/pokemon/230808_08/
https://www.pokemon.co.jp/ex/sv_dlc/ja/pokemon/230808_09/
the cloud mane saves the design
Okay the art makes it more obvious that Raikou is meant to be a literal "Thunder Lizard"
Totally different than the copy pasted Raikou head on a giraffe
What is "zero's treasure"? Is that the expanded area zero they talked about at the end?
Nothing, just a tease for now.
For those wondering, the names translate to something like "Fierce Thunder" and "Iron Head"
English names were already confirmed. Raging Bolt & Iron Crown.
It’s fricking cute
UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAG EROTIC EROTIC HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAG
Shit. The tera form is really cool, this means it will get cut from future games
>ugly thing is the regular form
>cool creature is the gimmick-of-the-generation form
>Terapagos will be a shitty baby in every future game
NECROZMA IS NO LONGER A JOBBER
What if Necrozma got "Ultra Burst" as a move that takes up its entire turn, and while in Ultra Form it was replaced by TLTBtS with 1pp?
...Are you kidding me? We don't know all the details yet, but there's no way the "Normal" Terapagos is going to have a Legendary BST. Terapagos is basically doomed to be a Legendary trophy shitmon like Cosmog/Cosmoem, Poiple, and Meltan after the series moves on from SV.
As soon as the little form was shown you should've known that
I was sincerely hoping that the baby was the start of an evolutionary line which started with it, and then moved up to the glowing Terapagos with a fully-formed shell. Has any Legendary been screwed over this badly before? Even Zygarde has both its 10% and 50% Forms, with its 100% being triggered by its Ability. Hell, Ogrepon already exists to shill Tera Forms. IDK, I dislike this.
You're overreacting to something that is extremely normal and expected. Go outside.
It might unlock a way to stay in that form after in game events.
So it's going to be normal form Calyrex.
really going all in on the bridge thing huh
>rail gun bridge
Not terrible idea wise
An idea is only as good as its execution
>JUST A FRICKING BRIDGE
I do love it sometimes when the design just gets silly
UNYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYSU!!!!!
BLACK AND WHITE 3 HYPE
Unova remakes confirmed!
The thing that bothers me the most is how small it looks. If it was fricking massive in battle I would like the design more.
SEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
It took until the DLC to actually get some cute ladies. Incredible.
What an embarrassing franchise this has become.
There is the ancestor of that dude from diamon clan then
Let the records show that I was one of the first people to bust a nut to her
Oneeshota bros keep on winning
I knew those eyes looked familiar
Where is Irida's descendant?
Probably some random character in DLC 2
RIP Irida. She never scored
We'll most likely get her decendant in Part 2. Most likely in the desert zone to contrast with Iridia's Canadianism.
tummy erotic
Oh yeah. That's totally Adaman's descendant.
>TUMMMMMMMMY
I want to kiss and lick her and tickle her hard
Look at her hairstyle. Does it seem familiar?
>grass/dragon
Boring.
yeah, I was expecting fairy/dragon, since it's covered in candy
At least it gets a cool ability. Lowering the opponent's evasion pairs really well with Flapple.
>Dipplin is actually two Applin in the same apple
well at least it’s got something different going on
Why does this line need three worthless grass/dragon shitmons
>shitmon
>outright speed-controls Regieleki hard
>ability can be broken if it gets access to Dragon Rush and Power Whip
>Regieleki Ice used Tera Blast!
>Dippling changes Tera to Electric
your turn
>ability can be broken if it gets access to Dragon Rush and Power Whip
you're missing the bigger apple of that ability, you can literally have a Smeargler almost always hit Dark Void with it, or any fast mon with Hypnosis, Blizzard, Focus Blast, Stone Edge, the list goes on
nta, I'm not a conpgay but reducing evasion isn't the same as increasing accuracy, right? You can't reduce evasion unless the opponent has increased it. You'd have to boost accuracy to hit those moves more reliably.
you can reduce Evasion since Gen2 (Sweet Scent), and this ability works like Intimidate but reduces Evasion instead.
Evasion and Accuracry both affect the Accuracy of the moves and can actually stack. On theory, Accuracy boosting your team would be better as the opposing Pokémon can just switch out to cleanse the Evasion drop, however, forcing switches makes them more vulnerable to Hazards, as well as you're also more prone into switching and setting up comes at the risk of being more predictable due to your tendency to keep it on the field to keep your boosts
if the ability would rather drop the opponents' Accuracy, it would be worse than evasion, as most moves used on competitive have 100% Accuracy, it would only be good against moves below 90% Acc like Stone Edge or Thunder Wave.
Your mistake here is treating it like a singles ability
>you can literally have a Smeargler almost always hit Dark Void with it,

>Pokemon has lost it's unique art style and now it looks like any generic anime you'd see on a gatcha.
have you seen generic anime artsyle in gacha? this is like the antithesis
Why does top left have nails embedded in her head?
top right I mean
Well with that move and ability it will see far more VGC use than either of its other two evolutions ever will.
Gen 10 can't come soon enough
>the lighter that can not!Mega into a slyscraper, evolves into a suspension bridge
Also lmaoing @ smogongays dealing with eviolite Duraludon.
Wait, doesn't this mean Duraludon is LC viable, Type: Null style?
Duraludon is gonna get quickbanned from LC
I have a shadow of a doubt. Remember hearing about that w/ Type: Null during SM as well, also from base stats alone.
Type: Null can't be obtained at level 5.
Why does English site take so much to update. I literally reposted everything from the Japanese one already.
They probably found out today lol
Makes you wonder why the frick this franchise continues to pander to foreigners so hard and continues trying to be "global" when they can't even get a site update on time.
I truly miss when Pokemon was a Japanese thing gaijins could also enjoy rather than this milquetoast global shit.

MUH FRICKING DICK, WE GOT FEMBOYS BROS LETS FRICKING GOOOOOOOOO
someone translate the paradox names
テツノカシラ for the cobalion
タケルライコ for the raikou
English official site calls these Raging Bolt and Iron Crown.
https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/en-us/news/paradox_pokemon/
テツノカシラ = tetsuno kashia (iron head)
タケルライコ = takeru raiko (old raikou?)
they're called Iron Crown and Raging Bolt
The english and japnese names are different
>The duraludon evolution transforms into the driftveil bridge
thanks for the unova games, game freak! looking forward to seeing how bad they'll run!
>the one sticking out its head and the one sticking out its tail seem to help each other
so there's 2 of them in there

https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/en-us/pokemon/dipplin/
Dipllin seems like it has some good moves and ability.
https://press.pokemon.com/en/products/The-Hidden-Treasure-of-Area-Zero#?tab=artwork-7&scrollto=
Arts finally came too
Archaludon’s signature move is an Electric Solar Beam that fires immediately in rain
Dipplin’s Ability is like Sweet Scent and it’s signature move is a Speed variant of Grav Apple and Apple Acid but works for 3 turns
Also Dipplin is two Applin sharing the same apple
>Also Dipplin is two Applin sharing the same apple
We finally get to see Applin’s face in a mainline game
Electro Shot also boosts Special Attack so its more like a weird Solar Beam/Meteor Beam hybrid
>Electric-type Solar Beam/Meteor Beam hybrid - boosts SpAtk first turn, charges instantly in rain
His time has come
>stamina
It still has no recovery.
yea tru. still, it not being stuck on the horse anymore is cool. could maybe make a rest talk set work if it's bulky enough.
Duraludon already has 535 BST, so I expect another Ursaluna situation.
yea probably 550, but 600 would be sick. probably wishful thinking though.
We just need a tiny fire dragon now and we have tiny dragon starters
>magnificent steel bridge.
So is Dip gonna be a offensive Special attacker?
I hope it isn't useless.
Here's your Tera Charizard bro
That's what all the "mega" leaks were about.
They're retconning regional gimmick forms into regular Pokemon.
The pink blades and frills on Iron Valiant are very reminiscent of Mega Gallade too
Paradox Metagross and a new evolution of Alcremie would be cool
>Paradox Metagross
so are they going to make it somehow prehistoric or even more futuristic?
make it ancient and be a different kind of metal or just pure ore-in-rock or something kind of like rolycoly's line
This thing actually looked kind of cool from the front. Then this.
Better than Duraldon doesn't mean "cool", anon, it means, "bare minimum that somehow manages to be too much".
Looks like a staple remover
rapple ton appleton
Is it just me does the Direct makes it look like the game runs better now?
There didn't seem to be any major choppiness in the footage that was blatant in the pre-launch ones.
They did say they working on quality patches last year, but then we only got one for the most egregious errors - I've suspected for a while that the DLC update will come bundled with various quality fixes in the update.
Yeah that's what I noticed myself. Although It could be because the area is smaller so the game doesn't need to load as big an area as the ones in the main game.
Don't fool yourselves, it'll only lead to disappointment.
Believe me, I know. I'm going in expecting it to run about as smooth as mainland Paldea does.
If it's better, then brilliant.
Gen 9 was the first time quality control slipped so bad, Game Freak had to publicly acknowledge it. I don't believe they took it lightly or would gloss over trying to fix things.
I know it's easy to hate on GF because this is /vp/ but they historically have a very strong track record with bug-lite and highly polished games. The fact that the wild area tree got so hyperfocused on when the rest of SWSH looked pretty good says it all.
Gen 9 however was a huge mishap that I believe stemmed entirely from inexperienced devs overreaching what they were capable of. IMO Pokémon should stay semi-open like SWSH and Legends, a mix of routes and various open areas. They had the sweet spot but fans expectations wanted them to push it further.
A fully open world that is actually still engaging to adventure through and appropriately tailored to your own level scaling and team building on a nintendo console under a studio that effectively exclusively makes oldschool handheld RPG's for kids? That was a pipe dream, and GF struggled clearly to make it halfway functional.
I do genuinely believe that Gen 9's launch embarrassed Game Freak, and that they are trying to fix it best they can for the DLC (hence why DLC 1 is in Fall and not Summer like SWSH's DLC.) - and I believe they're gonna scale back for a tighter experience in their games going forward, I don't believe Gen 10 will be fully open.
But we'll get what we get, I'll try enjoy it and judge it fairly.
>the rest of SWSH looked pretty good
Did we play the same game?
Yeah. Tired of pretending otherwise.
SWSH is the best looking Pokémon game on the switch. Feel free to cherrypick a couple of wild area screenshots of you like, but you know it is true.
The trainer models, the stadiums and battle enviornments, camera work, the routes (I mean ffs the last Pokémon games were Sun/Moon on 240p screens.)
SWSH makes Gen 9 look like dogshit, and I know that isn't saying much, but SWSH genuinely do look like completely presentable and good looking Pokémon games outside of the Wild Area in it's gloomier weather and lighting conditions. And by The Crown Tundra you could already see they were getting somewhere with making those open areas look pretty decent too.
Especially so when you consider it was the first ever new Pokémon game, done on an actual console, by the actual main GF dev team.
Sorry but LGPE looks 10x better than SwSh.
night cities would be a better example, which most people probably didn't see due to time lock during story
also personally I'd say let's go had the best graphic with swsh second
LGPE were the best looking pokemon games ever. But besides them yeah I think SS got a lot of hate they didn't deserve.
Frick no, everything in SWSH looks like it's made of plastic. SV's visuals might be incompetently made, but SWSH is unsalvageably bad, it's a rotten graphical style from the get-go.
t. James Turner
pixel art is cool
Yes, it is. Did you think this was some kidn of own? Pixel art actually is pretty cool and looks great. Posts like this just show what shit taste you people actually have.
I do wanna know what’s the thought process behind the game dev lead’s when making these games. It seems like Legend’s level design and catching mechanics (and to a lesser degree a more involved dex) plus traditional Pokemon battling and trainer density would be an easy lay up victory. I know the games likely had parallel development, but SV felt like a downgrade in a ways that it really shouldn’t have from the non-standard spin off.
Yeah the parallel development fricked Gen 9 I think.
It's not exactly uncommon to hear people say they should stop releasing games annually - But I've always been okay with it because it's obvious they have pretty significantly staffed teams working on the games, and more cooks isn't always a good thing.
Having multiple teams working on the games is how we got stuff like HG/SS, B2W2, and Legends Arceus. All games that would never have seen the light of day if the staff were all forced to be working on GF's next bigger project.
But Gen 9 trying to go fully open while not being able to benefit from what the other staff were doing on Legends was an incomprehensible mistake and it's clear that at this point, they SHOULD have dropped the alternating teams and moved all the Legends staff onto SV.
I don't know how long each team got to make their games, I believe the average is 2-3 years, but it felt to me like the Legends team had the benefit of building cleverly on what SWSH had as a foundation to improve the formula in small but very impactful ways that made Legends feel very distinct and fun to play.
The Gen 9 team however were likely thrust into trying to make a fully open world game before BASE Sword and Shield had even launched. They didn't have the benefit of what the Legends guys were doing, or even the gradual improvement benefitted from the DLCs.
The parallel development was good in theory because it means we can get more varied game variety at a frequent rate. And I think it was working as intended until Gen 9. GF should just merge all their teams and try do one game every three years instead, with a DLC expansion annually or something to try keep the annual formula going.
I imagine the DLC will take place on smaller, separate environments that in theory they weren’t rushed to make like the main game. Kind of like how Isle of Armor and Crown Tundra were just objectively better versions of the Wild Area these will just be better environments than the main game.
I saw a frame dip during one of the first videos. Don't be fooled.
Any shot we have a datamine yet?
why would we, there hasn't been an update
/vp/ is shill territory now
Ack.. *wheeze*

Will Nemona, Penny and Arven come back for the final DLC part in Area Zero
At bare minimum I assume you can invite them to your room like the gym leaders.
There's a joke in here about inviting nemona over to your room and then she gets more excited when it's because of it being battle related.
what's with gen 9 and "it just gets bigger" evolutions?
Isn't there supposed to be mightyena evo? I remember hearing about that
Was highly speculated, but got hard-deconfirmed sadly by a reputable leaker.
Who? You saying they're reputable means nothing. If it's Khu then frick off.

Maybe next time try to follow actual leakers instead of attention prostitutes. He usually leaks Direct stuff, recently he leaked a couple of pokemon releted stuff also.
Accurately leaked stuff in the last direct like Super Mario RPG remake and Super Mario Bros. Wonder
Okay what Pokemon stuff did he learn because the Nintendo directs aren't Pokemon
*Leak
He's leaked that Detective Pikachu 2 was finally going to show in the last direct.
So he knew what was in the direct but that doesn't tell me he knows anything about what's in the dlc

All accurate. You're right though that he's never leaked in-game Pokemon content before, so perhaps he's a bit out of his element here. I guess this will be a test in how much he knows
Ah damn, that sucks. I was really looking forward to it. Maybe next time
