Weezing's Galarian form is cute and Poison/Fairy is a good unique typing and it makes up for the fact we didn't get a Volcanic Weezing in Alola

Ahh, the hamster that gets hangry is a scream

I can’t decide whether I love Obstagoon or if it’s rancid

I wonder if it'll get a non-Galarian form?

I laughed when I saw Weezing, the hamster is cool although admittedly it does look like it's just gonna be this gen's Pikachu clone. The Zigzagoon line is a weird one to give a regional variation to but I suppose Alola had Ratatas so it makes sense.

I don't think it will, I remember an early leak saying that a bunch of old pokemon got Galar exclusive evolutions and I suppose Linoone's evolution is confirmation of that. I believe one of the exclusive evolutions will be a Farfetch'd one.

Galarian Weezing is cute but they couldve done so much more

I feel like the designs have been pretty weak this gen?

[Saph]

lowkey love linoones evo

[Tom4784]

I'm not a fan of Linoone's evo, it looks like a twelve year old Sonic fan's original character design.

Yeah I just read that on the official Pokemon website, oops

Spoiler:

Sudowoodo and Girafarig are getting Galarian forms too I think? I also heard there'd be two new Eeveelutions but that had no source I could find. But it'd fit the pattern of every-two-generations

I love Weezing's design

I like Grookey, Scorbunny, Alcremie, Wooloo, and Corviknight tbh

I think Eldegoss would've worked better as a Roselia regional variant?

I like the concept/description but can we not have Dark/Normal for every early rodent regional form not sure I want to use something with a 4x weakness to fighting ESPECIALLY since there's a fighting type gym!

Hopefully they put more effort into them than they did with sword and shield

It makes sense, with Nintendo Direct covering games to be released all the way through to 2022, Pokemon's absence was noticeable.

There was two separate leaks last year about two different collections, one was leaked by GAME's website and it was a pair of collections with Pokemon Blue/Red, Gold/Silver and Ruby/Sapphire while the other was by a supposed leaker who leaked collections of X/Y, Sun/Moon and the Gen 3 remakes. If the reveal takes the form of a Pokemon Direct, I think we'll probably get the confirmation of the first collection as well.

There was a tweet from the Pokemon twitter of the Sinnoh starters with the caption 'Let's go, Sinnoh' a day or two ago, I believe. I don't think it's a hint that the Sinnoh remake will be a Let's Go game though. At least I hope not, it deserves a proper remake before it gets the Let's Go treatment.

I did read rumours yesterday though that they'll announce Let's Go, Johto along with the Sinnoh remakes although I'm doubtful, Snap is coming soon and there's only really the November slot left and I think that will go to the Sinnoh remake. It makes sense that Johto is the next Let's Go game but unless they're dropping it in the summer, it doesn't make sense to announce it now.

[Saph]

if they make the sinnoh remakes Lets Go games I swear
let it GO girls!

[Saph]

I swear pokemon go has ruined pokemon

[Tom4784]

I'd be here for Let's Go Johto, but Sinnoh deserves a real remake.

I did enjoy Let's Go a lot and that game actually innovated the formula quite a bit for Sw/Sh when you consider the move away from random encounters, the ability to access the PC anywhere and even making the higher level gameplay mechanics like IV/EV management more approachable.

it looks promising!

[Saph]

one thing I dont like about sinnoh is it has no iconic gym leaders/elite 4.. it does have Cynthia though. and Team Galactic were probably the last decent evil team we had!
