Pokémon Pokémon Winds and Waves Discussion

[Neb]

A rumor I found interesting is that the new region is based on Indonesia. There’s a lot of potential for fun locations and Pokemon designs with an inspiration like that, but it were inspired by South America that’d be cool too.

I was mixed in Scarlet and Violet and never finished Legends Arceus. Legends Z-A didn’t interest me either. The fact that gamefreak is waiting until 2027 to release the game makes me somewhat optimistic it’ll be less rushed, but I’ll hesitate on buying them until I can tell they’ll be good games.

they really wanted to make sure we knew the pikachu on the right was female

A female Pikachu???

A female Pikachu???

Male Pikachu have flat tails, and female Pikachu have tails with round notches at the end

Here's Windychu and Wavychu for reference:

I skipped out on gen 9. If they make a Switch 2 LITE, I *might* get Wind or Waves......*might* is the key word. To be honest, I haven't bought a Pokemon game since Pokemon Sword and i'm glad I didn't. So much disappointment. But since Pokemon is cooking til 2027, we *might* be surprised. You never know *shrugs*

Gen 10 starters huh? The water lizard sure is neat in my humble opinion.

Ehhhh visually it looks good but if it's true that they are using the same engine as before, I'm not too fond. Especially with how much they've beeen dropping the ball with mosy of the games recently. Yeah, it's good they're not rushing to release it but look how long ZA took only to be a disgusting cashgrab that's only purpose is grinding/collecting useless stuff.

I mean, I'll keep my eye out for anything new. Right now, the starters look weiirrrd but I love Pombon, so if I DO get it I guess I'll be choosing fire once again.

I've been tired of the amount of Pikachu cosplays but the colors and design on them look really great, ngl. Love the eyes on Wavychu too.

That's what i was getting too, and I'm just hoping its not. It's why I was hoping for a random typing for it's evolution.
We already have fire fighting chicken, the water fighting chicken. PLEASE NO MORE FIGHTING CHICKENS

that sounds fowl

anyways, some other misc thoughts:
- I like how it looks like we have an actual outfit this time. hopefully means full customization is still a thing and not lapsed once more
- the backpack being super attached is interesting. I wonder if this implies more intense activities during our journey across the region
- on the assumption they build off of the open world concept of scarlet and violet, I hope they make this region easier to tell where you are and where to go without having to constantly rely on the map. since that game had a serious problem of too many non-distinct areas across paldea, imo
- bets on if the dog becomes bipedal
