Chili croc and Grass cat are good too, but QUAXLY, good LAWD

I hope it comes to Switch

Croc'd better be fire/ grass or riot

 

[Patrick]

that lil fire pepper dino is pretty cute.

 

[liquid]

that's just a bubble bobble

 

[Pajaro Pete]

yes and that's what makes it so good

 

[Lokii]

love that pepper

 

[Mogri]

If you'd shown me those starters in black and white, I'd have put money on fire and grass being reversed.

QUAXLY LOOKS FUCKING ADORABLE

This is a truth the world needs to accept.

Will expect to see a marijuana variant of the cat in the near future.

APPLEGATOR!

APPLEGATOR!!

 

[Bongo]

It's a pepper.

 

[Octopus Prime]

Peppers just a spicy apple

 

[Phantoon]

Which is notably a plant

DO IT GAMEFREAK

Also, I'd be interested to know what the Japanese names for the two versions are. Color words can be tough to translate.

They're just transliterated words Scarlet and Violet.

They've...they've done both of these already guys (okay fine appletun isn't a gator but like most dragon-types is very reptile-y)

Huh. Interesting.

 

[Kirin]

I hope it comes to Switch

That person is bringing us the content we all need in these times.

On a semi-related note, the Spanish-inflected names Sprigatito and Fuecoco make me wonder if this game is going to be set in a region based on Iberia or Latin America.

 

[Lokii]

From the trailer it looks like the Netherlands or maybe Belgium to me, but it's hard to say just from windmills or the MC's floppy hat.

Edit: There's palm trees too. Spain seems like a likely guess the more I think on it.

 

[Kirin]

From other clues in the trailer, people have decided it’s pretty definitively Spain/Portugal.

 

[Bongo]

There are direct riffs on specific Spanish landmarks.

¡Qué genial! ¡Gracias!

 

[Phantoon]

I'm kind of excited we have a Poké Europe region of many countries now, giving an area like in generations 1-4. Britain, France and Spain, nice.

 

[Bongo]

New trailer, which apparently can't be embedded.

 

[Mogri]

Zero chance those professors aren't evil, right?

edit: Lechonk new best mon

 

[gogglebob]

Was this already established? It looks like the difference in exclusive legendaries and the professors seems to indicate the dichotomy is past(prehistoric)/future this go 'round. I hope that means Scarlet has more t-rexes by volume.

 

[Falselogic]

Is that what it is? This going to be some sort of weird time paradox thing?
