About the legendary Pokemon in the new game...

Spoiler

"Koraidon and Miraidon grace the covers of Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet, respectively.

Koraidon is a Legendary Pokémon you can meet in Pokémon Scarlet, and Miraidon is a Legendary Pokémon you can meet in Pokémon Violet. These two Pokémon are said to have powers that far surpass those of other Pokémon, but details about Koraidon and Miraidon are still shrouded in mystery."

 

[SneakyLink]

New thread rule: we all must stan Lechonk

Sorry, I stan Smoliv

 

[TheMightyP]

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.

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

There was a problem fetching the tweet

NO SHOT DUDE

[Noipoi]

Koraidon better don’t @ me

 

[Alphine Agnitio]

Not sure what to do with myself today.

I have the day off after working 9 10am-7pm shifts in a row and I'm like

 

[TheMightyP]

LeChonk and Gigachad professor?

This is Pokemon Reddit

 

[Schnee117]

That's not a gigachad that's Reed Richards smh

 

[GilTheGreat19]

Honestly you might be right

I've usually gone with the first of the two games, e.g. Heartgold, X, Sword

This time I might go with Violet

 

[TheMightyP]

Also, my mind may be in the gutter, but the Violet legendary looks like a ****.

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

Now please, for the love of god GF, have Voice acting. Please dont let this be another Peirs incident

 

[Noipoi]

The game seems to have a past vs future theme.

 

[Schnee117]

From the site

You can experience a new style of adventure, with a world that you're free to explore at your leisure and not in an order dictated by the story.

Rolling on up and getting my **** kicked in by Tyranitar instantly lets gooooooo

 

[GilTheGreat19]

Now please, for the love of god GF, have Voice acting. Please dont let this be another Peirs incident

They showed dialogue taking place without voices, so idk

Maybe they emitted it from this trailer and we'll actually get voice acting? crosses fingers

 

[cashregister9]

I would absolutely die for Smolive and Lechonk

 

[Venus of the Desert Bloom]

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

 

[TheMightyP]

Calling it, she's the champion

She's got Lechonk on her team, watch out

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.

 

[Noipoi]

She's got Lechonk on her team, watch out

She’s harnessed the power of pig.

 

[Hex D. Jess]

Pocket man

 

[TheMightyP]

LeChonk probably eveolves into KaChungus

 

[ZephyrZ]

With the legends have such a blatant past/future theme, maybe this region's gimmick will involve time shenanagins?

Like maybe allowing a pokemon to move more then once in one turn?

 

[Noipoi]

It begins

 

[GilTheGreat19]

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.

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

Let us not forgot that game freak finally found out that black people are a thing

 

[Schnee117]

Oh wtf Prof. Sara's got fangs bruh LOL

She's gonna Morb

 

[Hex D. Jess]

My roommate and I are probably going to coordinate which of us gets which version

Right now it seems like he's geting Scarlet and I'm getting Violet since I like the mechanical looking legendary more

 

[SneakyLink]

People are saying Violet is the better version due to aesthetics.

I predict Scarlet will be better. Why?
Professor Sada has fangs.

Therefore, Scarlet Sweep commences.

 

[Noipoi]

Oh wtf Prof. Sara's got fangs bruh LOL

A woman after my own heart.

 

[TheMightyP]

Let us not forgot that game freak finally found out that black people are a thing

I can finally retire the basic fade and cornrows.

You done well my friends, you done well.

 

[ZephyrZ]

This design would almost be perfect, but then he had to try and swallow a tire for some reason.

Is he okay? Do i need to preform the heimlich maneuver?

 

[Noipoi]

It seems Pokemon follow you in the overworld again.

Dope

 

[Hex D. Jess]

Dope

Finally

Pokémon is good again (hasn't been good since HeartGold and SoulSilver (hidden gem))

 

[Noipoi]

It’s a dewlap!

Also…

Spoiler: possible spoilers

According to leakers…

The legends will transform into vehicle-like forms, and you can ride them around the overworld.

Koraidon is a motorcycle, while Miraidon is some kind of hover bike.

 

[Guh-Huzzah!]

Pokemon: Violet has the giga chad meme and a protogen or whatever it's called- I can't handle this this early in the morning.

It's OK, that's how they digest the food more easily.

Pokémon Scarlet gets Morbin time.

So it’s Giga chad vs Morbius Sweep

 

[Erureido]

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.

 

[Noipoi]

The professor names make come from Pasada (past in Spanish) and Futuro (future in Spanish)
