I think you answered yourself when you said your friends aren't that into pokemon... It means they'd find another thing to complain about in order to not play the game anymore, since Pokemon is not really their thing enough to take up games like Reborn p.s. Pichu is available quite early on, I believe before the 2nd gym P.P.S Like I said before, if you can not find a single 'mon to add to your main team from the given MANY options, I fear you're the problem and not the game since it means you like nothing but the mainstream things

Would take out all the pokemon that don't contribute to the battle being challenging

It was about the backups but..that works too why not

The worthy shall be spared and allowed to become part of the army!

It's a ditto transformed into Arceus

Why stop at 3 when you can go for 5?

Join my fire army of destruction

Well, most everything I wanted to say has already been said by other people but I'll just add onto things anyway 1. Just like Lord Darkyle, I would be in no way sympathetic to people who don't play a game because their favorites are not available before the 2nd gym or earlier. There is a myriad of options to choose from before the first gym even, and the choices only expand past that. If you can't find a single Pokemon that you like which is available at the time, then I would claim that your interest span is incredibly low when it comes to Pokemon. As has been said by others already, the availability of pokemon is made in a way to make people use less popular options and to have things balanced. I've had enough pokemon grow on me that I never even looked twice at before. It's more fun that way. 2. City is too gloomy for a reason. It's a dystopian environment, but I assure you, if you keep playing the game, you'll be exposed to areas fundamentally different than the main city. If a person would be driven away from the game because a disaster-wrecked city is too gloomy for them, well... I'm sorry, but they clearly have not gotten the game's theme as a whole. It's meant to be that way and it shall evolve, all in due time. Rome was not built in a day. 3. I don't know what to say here, since I can't get behind the opinion it's the stupidest idea ever. It's a needed event and it is there to give you a taste of what the real Arceus' power will be like, except even stronger. Those fights are meant to be hard, just like the game as a whole is meant to be more challenging and different. As already stated, you have the choice to NOT have to defeat that Dittoceus, however, that means you siding with cultists 4. We all agree about the map, can't argue there. It does look a tad too cluttered and hard to read, but it was likely the best that could be done given the graphics the game works with 5. This point is kind of the same as point 1.. If you really want a dragon, Noibats are available early on enough, there is trapinch and swablu as well. The really OP dragons are not in the game early on for a reason All in all, I can only agree with point 4. of the listed cons. The rest are things that would make me personally wave goodbye to any person who leaves this game because of either of them. That said, it's my own opinion, different people have different views and stuff

Your new types seem a tiny bit op... I mean come on..3 immunities and a single weakness to its own type + resisted by nothing? Sure, it's "space" type and some future stuff but still p.s. nice rework on the sprites

There's always these troll pokemon like Florges that scream grass but nah so don't count your chickens before they hatch Ofc it will probably indeed be steel in the end but there's always the chance it's a troll

It has not been confirmed as any type yet

Hope we'll at least see a pokemon or sumfin

I think coro leaks around mid-month so maybe next week.. I expect it to announce the games themselves and maybe give us some new screenshots

Well, it sure beats the lack of ..any info in XY, so if they take the story to a deeper level and balance it out throughout the entire game, it'll be lovely. There is a crapton of potential for Sun and Moon, I just hope they don't miss out on it

I'll be happy with anything on Delta episode lvl of quality and storytelling tbh

You can see in the few screenshots that the graphics already look a bit more advanced than XY, even if not THAT much, they still look a bit more 3d. Every pokemon game so far holds an empty space in its size (and the size is 2gb). The 3ds has the capacity for much more than people think and it's fully plausible for us to get a 2region game. The reason why I believe we might return to Kalos is because they link a "far away region" to it, there's also the unused train station, there is the sundial and the NPC at anistar mentioning the fact that this other region has moondials. There's Zygarde and Volcanion too of course. Kalos doesn't have to be the same. It could be smaller, it could be years before xy or years after. Its plot also can be a side story like say.. looker missions, but about team flare and zygarde. There is no concrete evidence for 2 regions at this point, but there are hints you can theorize from. Personally, I hope we get a 2 region game, it's been a while and it would make everyone happy that they won't ditch zygarde

I welcome others to join me in my quest for power :v ...or become my exp prey

You know, no matter what name you wanna give it, the whole point of this is to release -something- to the public for them to actually be able to give you better feedback on what you should improve on, what you did good and so on :v stop clinging so much onto what you call the game In other news, I am glad that you scrapped whatever ideas you had in those early stages...Those characters look far less likeable than what we have right now

I wake up as a Charmander. Would be totally excited and go explore and level myself up by murdering hostile pokemon

I like your train of thought

As soon as I saw this thing, I thought of a mecha diancie :| I am really not a fan of it but ugh, I never cared much for legends in general...apart the really cool stuff like Yveltal and Lugia Also, about Rot8er_Conex's post.. Iirc there was a picture somewhere of what you just described.. the volcanion 's steam engine arms did indeed plug to the sides of magiana and they formed a complete one, so I do believe you're right

Delibird and Dunsparce again.. Whether they get evos or not, they'd still deserve a mega. Also, Luxray, Mienshao, Floatzel, Milotic, Noctowl, Qwilfish, Lanturn...many others All starters will get megas eventually so won't mention those

Dunsparce and Delibird definitely deserve an evolution

if you want it to be different, you can give it a 10% chance to freeze after the timestop.. As in... Hit-> time stop-> free hit but a 10% chance that opponent will freeze before that free hit tho thats just as op...oh well

Are you sure about that Time stop change? I mean in almost any case, a free 3x hit means 10% of a guaranteed KO
