I’m kinda betting on the professors being the champion. They have way flashier designs like recent champions and if they Rep different schools it would make sense for each to be a champion in one version.

Or maybe they lead the evil team, but I think the fact there’s two of them will be very important.

They didn't miss the chance to add an olive Pokemon when making a region inspired by a Mediterranean country.

I thought this was a regional cherubi at first lol. I’m surprised we didn’t even get one regional this trailer.

Miraidon is definitely dope.

But Koraidon is like one of my favorite legendary designs already. I dunno he just looks badass to me.

Not to mention his game has return to monke.

This is probably the worst design the throw it in a Pokemon talk but eh

DAILY DEMON SHOWCASE

This showcase's demon is of the Beast race:

1654094326730.png


“I’m Beast Dormarth. Take care of me well. I’m not gonna bust my ass for an ungrateful master.”

Alignment: Dark-Law

Origin: Welsh mythology. Dormarth is the general name for a hound used by hunters to track their prey but it’s also the name of a legendary canine owned by the king of fairy folk, Gwynn ap Nudd. It is described as a creature with the front half of a dog and three fish tails for legs. It haunts the mountains as high as the clouds, helping its master to gather the souls of fallen British warriors for Wild Hunt. Its name means “death’s door.”

Skills: Trafuri, Frenzied Chomp, Tarunda, Makarakarn

Next time, you will meet a demon of the Brute race.

You are not immune to furries. No, seriously, there’s absolutely no reason to make Dormarth a cute anime dog girl but I’m glad they still went and did it. She’s a fun take on the typical canine companion demon, especially with great use of monochrome color contrast and that needlessly edgy spike collar. It's nice to see her return in Soul Hackers 2. Fun fact: Dormarth is one of the very few modern demons that made her debut in a novel, rather than a game.

Saw the new trailer, every new Pokémon in it kinda feel odd to me. Give me big Yokai Watch vibes.

The legends are also weird but kinda interesting, don’t know which I like more but both are cool.

Also when I saw pawnmi I immediately thought of this:

Really made me think they refined the beta design.

They look more like Digimon to me tbh. lol

Not that it's a bad thing, so far these new Pokemon look so much better than the Galar ones.

There are rumors about the typings. Don’t read if you wanna be surprised.
Koraidon is Dragon/Fighting
Miraidon is Dragon/Electric

Allegedly, that is.

your mom
Honestly not a huge fan of the new Pokémon so far aside from the legendaries. I'm sure there's gonna be a Pokémon that I will enjoy later down the line but right now I'm not really vibing with them

Ah thanks for that!
I did take a look at the typings for fun

And I regret to inform you that I find both typings to be sick, thereby making my decision harder :(
Especially since Dragon is my favorite type, and fighting and electric are typings I like as well

Unless I am not looking in the right places, I don't think the region's name was announced.

Also, I'm leaning towards Scarlet right now.

The Korean Pokemon region depends on which version you buy. One version is based on Seoul, the other is Pyongyang

Pokémon North
Pokémon South

DLC: The Voltorb Zone. Journey deep into a highly fortified place that separates the region's.

Panda version of good ol' Kim as the legendary.

Honestly might buy the new pokemon games when they come out if the trailers already got me excited like this

But Splatoon 3 as well comes out around that time so who knows I might get hooked on it like how I was with Splatoon 2

God that's like gonna be 10 to 15 Switch games I'm getting before the end of the year.

Too many games, too much money but not enough time.

Sucks being a working adult.

New day, new art. This time I drew up Chun-Li again. But this time it's a full body piece. Wanted to at least do one more of those since I nearly done 20 of them this year.
