Speaking of SS: have your favourites been confirmed yet?

Out of all the pokémon I like, the Gardevoir, Galvantula, Hydreigon and Roserade lines have been confirmed.

Has the Garchomp line been confirmed yet?

Nope

Hope it is, Garchomp’s the bestest.

 

[Nemuresu]

I'm still waiting for Cofagrigus and Scrafty but neither of them are that popular so I'm not holding out hope
Then again we got ****in Maractus so

 

[Alicorn]

Hope not Garchomp has really made the meta unbalenced I hope Game Freak adjusts the stats this time boost some nerf others.

 

[Cosmic77]

Just give me Mewtwo, Zoroark, and Lycanroc and I'll be good. Anyone else after them would just be a bonus.

Thank you for the meme, CarefulBlackAndWhiteBear

Got my soda. All is now at balance.

No Pokemon I like all that much have been confirmed with exception of Pikachu, but that was kinda a given.

 

[Noipoi]

Anyone who legit believes a Pokémon from Kanto won’t be in this game needs to go and stay go

 

[KingofPhantoms]

Luxray is all I need.

Gotta have my all-time favorite in Galar.

 

[Striga]

Oh that’s right, Three Houses is supposed to be out soon. I hope it’s better than the 3DS games, for the sake of the people who bought it.

 

[Nemuresu]

Now that I think of it, and in the risk of sounding like a hypocrite for not liking unpopular opinion threads, I want to say that I get why Megas, Z-Moves and the overall amount of pokémon are getting removed from this game.

The competitive scene was already messy with monsters like Landorus-Therian or Heatran around, and with stat boosts and deadly moves on top of it, it really just boils down to a broken competition.

Of course, that doesn't mean that limiting pokémon is a good thing, since these games should always be "catch first, fight second" and not the other way around, but from a competitive standpoint, I can get why it may be necessary to do something like that.

 

[Alicorn]

I hope they give hypno a buff, he is my savior

 

[Wario Bros.]

With SwSh not bringing back all Pokémon, Mega Evolutions, and Z-Moves, I wonder if Pokémon Showdown is going to do anything to "fix" it.

Like maybe make a battle format that combines the assets of both generations 7 and 8?

As a Genwunner, I approve of this.

Its because of let’s go

It’s the only other game on the Switch, it’d make no sense not to include them

Hes grabbing it now.

Your Diet Dr. Kelp?
How are you supposed to eat your pizza without your drink?!

 

[Alicorn]

Still suprised Showdown hasn't been C&D'd yet. Nintendo is as tight fisted as Disney and Konami with their IPs

Dragonite seems very likely, Kabutops has Gen 1 privileges and I feel like fossilmon will be an all or nothing thing and Flygon's confirmed. As for the rest, Hitmonlee and Steelix are apparently in, but I don't have high hopes for Xatu or Sudowoodo. Who knows about Banette and Crawdaunt. But at least Slowking seems likely as it evolves from a Gen 1 one, and a fairly popular one at that.

 

[Wario Bros.]

Missingno. or bust

 

[Alicorn]

Sudowoodo its been awhile since I heard that name

I wonder how they’d do that without there being an art style mismatch since the gen 8 models would look a bit different from the 3DS ones due to different shaders, even if they’re mostly the same models.

If that were the only reason, they could simply limit what Pokémon are allowed in competitive without having to cut them from the game outright. Numerous official online tournaments have already made use of restrictions on which Pokémon can be used, so they could theoretically more carefully craft a list of allowed Pokémon and stick with it.

Dunno. Maybe rip the models and alter them to mimic a single artstyle/lighting?

I know you're all having fun right now. But it's really REALLY scary right now for the entertainment industry. Disney's on the verge of owning nearly everything in the industry. And they plan to buy more companies right now. Creativity is in danger.

Who are they looking to buy now?

Fun isn’t something one considers when balancing the universe. But this… *slurps mountain dew* does put a smile on my face.

 

[Guh-Huzzah!]

An executive or someone said buying Activision would be a good idea and now people are freaking out.

What kind of pokemon aren't allowed?

TBH, I don’t really know (regular online matches don’t have restrictions, do they?) although there have been numerous events with restrictions, such as these https://serebii.net/sunmoon/onlinecompetitions.shtml . Some of the earlier ones restrict mons to the Regional Dex only, for example.

 

[Gentlepanda]

when there are 15 games in your franchise but smash only gives you two unremixed ps1 music tracks

 

[Wario Bros.]

I'm also curious if Armored Mewtwo will available too? It's in GO.

Re: the Sabi screenshot. She's just theorizing due to no Famitsu column about it planned, nothing official. I still think it is this week.

No Greninja? Is this because of protein or Battlebond?

Don't do that. Don't give me hope

Well in that case

Tomorrow for sure

Or the next day, or the next day, or the next-ah screw it! You get the idea.
