> Starters are Snivy, Scorbunny and Popplio> The game is set in a rather more modern looking era with a normal starters selection like usual games so the starters are the usual Kalos ones but at the beginning of the game they got stolen so the female professor gives you a different choice with Pokémon she brought from other regions> Final stages are: Serperior (Grass/Electric), Cinderace (Fire/Fairy) and Primarina (Water/Ghost) (looks like a gen 6 Hex maniac)> The story involves a multiverse situation> The protagonists are from another universe (B013) and found themselves into the new one (B024)> In this universe the megas are more common and used in battle> 20 new megas, 19 regional forms and 12 new Pokémon > There is a phone like map like in Arceus and is called the Z-phone> All the Pokémon that have a mega in X&Y and ORAS are in the pokédex
Didn't ask
>>56939101> The pokédex is larger than Arceus and still has requirements and quests like before but is not written on paper> It seems in this new universe no one has ever completed the pokédex yet> Riding pokémon are back and function similar. They resemble real life vehicles but with a twist (like a Steel/Electric split evolution of the regional form of Klink resembling a 1800 bike)> The game is divided in 3 big regions (central, coastal, mountain) formed by 2/3 little regions each for a total of 8> Each little region has a "problem to be solved" regarding a Pokémon gone crazy> Among the new megas we have the new starters forms and 4 of the "gone crazy Pokémon" that play as the big boss> Zygarde obtains a new mega alongside Magcargo (Fire/Steel), Florges, Xerneas (Fairy/Psychic) and Yveltal > At some point of the game you can catch various legendaries like the gen 3 Trio> You can catch the Tapus from Alola, brought there by a portal. A new Tapu is catchable: Tapu-Waruru (jap name) Fairy/Dark resembling a wolf. Seems the other Tapus are there to stop it because is the guardian deity of rebellion
>>56939101> The A in Z-A is a new Pokémon that is driving crazy other Pokèmon in the game. Algnarock (Steel/Dragon) that has a mega as well. It's the opposite of Zygarde and wakes up when the world has to be brought back to zero> Algnarock is the other 50% of Zygarde turned into something else> Mega Zygarde is totally different from the 100% form and is a mix of humanoid with dragon/animal features. It has horns, resembling a viking of some sort (the 10% form and the 100% form aren't in the game)> Yveltal, Xerneas and Zygarde are driven mad by the A presence (how it's called during the game). You have to fight them in the mega form to free them> Druddigon has a evolution (Dragon/Fairy) that is the riding pokémon for flying (flying is a proper one and not a long glide like in the past)> Pancham evolves into a regional variant of Pangoro (Fighting/Psychic) and is the riding pokémon for climbing (or rather "floating" since it gives you the ability to glide and climb like it's levitating on the spot)> If you pre-order you can obtain the Volcanion catchable mission
>>56939101>no Piplup Fakerino
>>56939109>Algnarock>not a rock typeAnon… it’s Ragnarok, not Ragnarock. Try again, retard
>>56939109>Pancham evolves into a regional variant of Pangoro (Fighting/Psychic)The Kalos native has a... Kalos regional? Uhh sure bro
>>56939131OP is gake and fay (even though a lot of this stuff sounds interesting), but honestly that's not too different from getting a reflavored Weavile in the last game.
>>56939101Stopped reading at starters1. They're not going to redo gen 8 starters already 2. They're not going to do 2 alolan starter variants in a row3. At least one of them is going to be gen 6 since they don't have megas and that's going to be the big appeal of this game
>>56939196>do 2 alolan& unovan
>>56939196>[headcanons]
>>56939101>starter other than the kalos oneyup, its fake and gay.
>>56939186Except the PLA ones didn't call the region by the same name and there was the differentiation of time. You can't have Kalos mon and Kalos Mon-Kalos.
>>56939215It's retarded enough for Game Freak to do it
>>56939220lol :(
>>56939105>The pokédex is larger than Arceus LolLmao even
>>56939101Someone broke their NDA and said the starters would be the original Kalos starters and would gain a mega evolution.It came to me in a comment section.
>>56939577I think it makes more sense that, like in Gen 6, you'll get a second set of starters and these will be the original Kalos starters (and like the Kanto starters, they'll get megas)
>>56939101>and Popplioyay!
>>56939101>>56939105>>56939109Is Rhyperior in?
>>56939105already confirmed fake since the entire game is set within lumiose city
We've already seen posters with the Kalos starters for ZA, they aren't different.
>>56939927Really? Where?
>>56939944
>>56939609I can see it playing out like this
>>56939109This part is the one that weirds me off: pancham and pangoro are Kalos pokèmon. Since the leaker has the japanese name for the 5th Tapu i suppose Algnarock is japanese name as well...here is the problem: in japanese it should be pronounced and written ARUGUNAROKKU. Despite being a clever deviation of RAGNAROK (maybe combined with the word alpha and rock, for some reason? ARUFA and ROKKU in japanese ) that is written and pronounced RAGUNAROKU, has too much syllables for the japanese names.
>>56939186anon, Sneasel is from Johto. If Sneasler was a Weavile regional or an actual evolution of it I’d get your point, but you’re completely missing the mark here.
>>56939993I don't see how it can make this post fake. I mean, i think it's fake because is way too complex to be real, but this is just a poster for the world championships and we all know the next game is set in Kalos, therefore the Kalos starter will be there in some capacity, like the Sinnoh's ones were in Hisui. I don't expect the world championships poster to spoil the different starter set anyway.
>>569391961. There is no way they will do a Fire/Fighting starter for 3 times on a row2. There is no way they will do a special Fire/Ghost starter in gen 9 after turning Typhlosion into one in Legends3. There is no way they will use the Fighting/Dark/Ghost triangle for Paldea's starters after using it for the Legends regional variants.4. There is no way they will introduce a new function like megas in gen 6 and not give that form to the starters.It's GF, they take a lot of strange choices. Not saying the post is true but it's not that much out of place for me.
>>56939993Ah that's true! Such nostalgic to have Toedscool back into Kalos. I missed him from those good days...
Starters are Rowlet, Chimchar, and Totodile
>>56940035>There is no way they will do a Fire/Fighting starter for 3 times on a rowoh yes they will
>>56939101>> In this universe the megas are more common and used in battleThis gave it away
>>56940074Why? Seems the only good thing out of this. It's in line with Dyna/Gigas being used for sport, Z-moves for trials and Tera for 10 yo students
>>56940074>>56940095We here are GameFreak have decided to drop the feature entirely and introduce a new one specifically for the game, in which we will then subsequently drop the feature for Gen 10. We have decided to call this new feature, "Friend Blasts", they work similar to Z-Moves, but are more tied to friendship levels and ATK/SPA.
>>56939101>>56939105>>56939109Ok! I want to play along...let's see:20 new megas from the post we know: Zygarde, Xerneas, Yveltal, Algnarock, Magcargo and Florges. So 6 out of 20. (2 of them changes/adds type)19 regional formsfrom the post we know: regional-Klink and regional-Pangoro (2 out of 19)12 new Pokémonfrom the post we know: 1800 Bike r-Klink Evolution, Druddigon fairy evolution, Tapu Waruru and Algnarock (4 out of 12)Judging from the numbers seems a possible true leak but the guy only watched the trailers rather having the game to test and play (if it's now fake)
>>56940095>Why?It asserts itself based off of the fanon "non-mega universe" idea. From a misinterpretation of that line in ORAS that explained megas weren't discovered yet in RSE.Them being used for battle is fine, but that's not something that would need to be called attention to because there's never any evidence to imply otherwise in any universe.
>>56940006I didn't say it was exactly the same, I said that it was close enough that I don't see it as impossible. I know Sneasel is from Johto, I started on Gold.
>>56940131I actually took it as: the leaker noticed that there are more people using megas for battles. The original Kalos lacked them, not even the E4 had megas.
>>56940015By the time this poster will be officially revealed we will already know via an official reveal what the Z-A starters will be. Also if they simply wanted to represent Kalos in it why would they only include the Kalos starters in their first stages? If they aren’t the starters it‘d be weird to focus on them if the actual Z-A starters are getting the rest of the spotlight.
>>56940154Kalos starter represent gen 6 location, the place Z-A takes place. World Championships won't be played on ZA for sure and the eventual regional varation of the starters can't be played on Scarlet and Violet. I don't know what to think. How do we have that poster if it's not official?
>>56939101>scorbunny>not torchicyou rabbitfags need to give it up
>>56939210>Still seething beyond lunacyYup, Yikes and cringepilled.
>>56939101>> The story involves a multiverse situationi will never forgive gen 6 for starting this bullshit
>>56939101>Primarina (Water/Ghost) (looks like a gen 6 Hex maniac)Would be kino.
>>56939101>Scorbunny>Popplioseriously hope it's fake
>>56939101>Snivy, ScorbunnyPraying that this is real
Are we going to wear shoes inside the apartment??
>>56939236Being larger than Arceus isn’t that difficult; doesn’t mean we’ll get a 400+ Pokédex though.
>>56939101>Hex maniacStopped reading there, they will never reuse this character because of what the internet did to her and you know it
>>56939127This.You didn't even try, OP
>>56941888They literally put her in Masters despite other trainer classes like Beauty and Youngster having original designs
>>56940005They also have to trademark the Japanese name's Romanji.Skeledirge's Romanji was written as Loudbone before they changed it to Laudbon a name they trademarked.
>>56940015Anon, there wasn't a 2021 World Championship for either Hisui nor Sinnoh to be referenced in. 2020 and 2021 were cancelled. When 2022 came back with key art, it only included the Galar starters + Pikachu and Roserade. Sinnoh's starters never appeared, and considering Roserade a shoutout to either game is really stretching it.
>>56943035Maybe just a tentative name? Isn't it possible?
>>56939856Deez nuts.
