Today Nintendo has revealed their new console, the Nintendo Switch, which is a hybrid home/handheld console with detachable controllers (you can view the reveal trailer and discuss the Switch more generally here). With the console's reveal, it's pretty much certain that we'll be seeing Pokemon...

All right, so personal thoughts on the reveal of the Nintendo Switch. To anyone following NX rumors, this concept was actually leaked by Eurogamer back in July, so it's not all that surprising. Still, it looks amazing in execution and it's great to see this idea become a reality. I love how...

So for those of you who aren't following Nintendo closely, Nintendo is working on a new console codenamed NX that is slated to release in March 2017 and supposedly is "a totally new gaming concept". And so far we know nothing about it, Nintendo hasn't said a word about the NX and has foregone...

Not necessarily. Sinnoh is a very mountainous region so we could see a lot of Pokemon adapt to rougher terrain. Certainly the colder climate could be part of it, but it doesn't necessarily need to be because of the cold. I also had a specific idea for Sinnoh Flygon that it adapts to the...

How would 5th gen even benefit from a Johto treatment? The region seems to work well as a standalone region and beyond the updates to the graphics and new forms there's really not much they could add to the games, and even then that's something they could easily handle with a standard remake...

I'm really curious about those supposed pre-evolutions of Solgaleo and Lunala. What's the relationship between the two, is it a Manaphy situation or something else? It'd be really interesting if it was the other way around, where you start with the pre-evolutions and can evolve them into...

I highly doubt we're just moving straight to 8th gen after Sun and Moon. It wouldn't make a whole lot of sense to. Generations pretty much lose their meaning if there's only one game, the whole concept of a generation is meant to define a broader era for the series. A self-contained generation...

I don't think this is related to any Pokemon we know, it's probably something completely new. My guess is Water/Poison.

That Jigglypuff form is more horrifying than anything Trump could ever do.

Well Alola Muk is a definite improvement in design over Alola Grimer, I like the rainbow sludge look.

That Jigglypuff form. I don't even know what anything is anymore.

Nothing interesting in this one IMO. Silvady being Not Arceus is cool I guess, but other than that we just get what is presumably the pseudo legend and another Trial Captain. None of it really catches my attention.

Yeah, Alola Grimer makes absolutely no impression on me and IMO Poison/Dark is a fairly boring type combo for Grimer. Not one of my favorite Alola forms.

Okay, so assorted thoughts: -After seeing these mid stage starters it's pretty clear the starter leaks are real, those evolutions definitely look like they're building up to the leaks. I'm probably going with Popplio because reasons. Not like the other two are much better anyway. -Festival...

Here's my guesses: Doesn't evolve: Togedemaru Mimikyu Minior Type: Null Turtonator Crabrawler Evolves once: Komala Bruxish Cutiefly Wimpod Bounsweet Comfey Oricario Pyukumuku Morelull Evolves twice: Salandit Jangmo-o Has a pre-evolution: Drampa Passimian Oranguru

She's referring to the leaked concept art of the starter evolutions. It's not confirmed yet, but likely real because it contains concept art of Mallow before she was revealed. Probably a bit presumptuous to mention it yet, though.

Oranguru was probably designed before Harambe was even a meme. I doubt it was in response to Harambe at all.

Pretty meh reveals IMO. Most of it wasn't new except for the two new Pokemon, both of which seem like double battle gimmicks, and the new Z moves, which didn't impress me that much. Also, kind of disappointing that both of Lycanroc's forms are just pure Rock.

I think role reversal would be a tad too predictable, that's a pretty common trope. We've already seen that done several times in the Mystery Dungeon games as a matter of fact. Plus it'd be hard to justify them being good guys when they're already established to be blatant criminals.

The recent reveal of the Aether Foundation has called into question what kind of role they play in the storyline. They run the artificial island in the middle of the region, known as Aether Paradise, to take in Pokemon targeted by Team Skull, so they definitely at least appear to be good guys...
