I feel it goes without saying that the two opposing forces in this game is the past and the future.

Also, the new rival I assume, they say that y'all been friends.

That girl is like 22 years old and the protag is like 10. No way in hell they friends.
laughs in most of my friends were a lot older than me as a kid

Seriously though, I think it can be a fun dynamic to have the rival character more mature and experienced than you.

Oh wtf Prof. Sara's got fangs bruh LOL

Also looking back at the legendaries, Koraidon's feathers look hella nice I think I prefer that one over Miriadon

I wonder how much the stories will change based on this supposed past vs future theme.

I think these are the 1st main series games where I equally like both of the legendary mascots. Both Kiraidon and Miraidon look really cool to the point which version I will choose will not be as simple as which legendary I prefer.

Nice that there are two professors that are version-exclusive. They both look cool. Professor Sada seems to have a more prehistoric look to her similar to Kiraidon, while Professor Turn looks more futuristic similar to Miraidon. Just looking at these two and the legendary mascots tells me these games's theme will likely past vs future. Maybe Kiraidon symbolizes history and the past, while Miraidon symbolizes the future.

Nemona looks very cool for a rival character.

All of the new Pokemon revealed so far look nice. I'm guessing Lechonk will be the early game "rodent" of these games (rodent in quotes because Lechonk is based on a hog and not a rodent, but it the first Normal-type you will find similar to the likes of Bunnelby, Bidoof, Yungoos, Patrat, etc.). Pawmi look fitting for the electric rodent of the Spain-like region, and Smoliv is cool for being the 1st olive Pokemon.

Hoping we see some towns and cities in the next trailer or two, but at least we have Pokemon Centers/Marts show up in many routes, fitting for an open-world game.
