>26 new megas in Z-A>at least 16 new megas in Mega DimensionGen 9 introduced 120 new species and 42 new megaevolutions, what was gen 6 excuse for 72 new species and 48 new megaevolutions?
>>58247442>16 new megasFanfiction
>>58247442The excuse was that megas were "new Pokemon." You would know this if you weren't a zoomer newfag retard who was in diapers in 2013.
PLEASE understand.
>>58247456Retardo... that's EXACTLY why I'm listing the megas, counting megas gen 6 had 120 new mons, counting megas gen 9 has at least 162. I even replied to some retard denying GF considers megas new pokemon like 2 hours ago.
>>58247452>trailer of the DLC with new megas shows 16 megastones, two of them already confirmed to belong to two new megas (Raichu X and Raichu Y)>"no there aren't at least 16 new megas! f-fanfiction!!" anon are you insane
>>58247442Gen 9 is peak, 6 is rock bottom not counting 8
>>58247507They never said there were 16 though.
>>58248441Gen 9 (ZA) is peak, 9 (SV) is rock bottom.
>>58248679Only Pokemon game to ever surpass gen 1 in japan btw
>>58248671>show 16 mega stones>uhh but ackshually they didn't directly SAY that there were 16 new megasInsufferable autism. Fucking leave the thread if you don't understand what speculation is.
>>58248738How do you know that's actually supposed to show that there are just 16 stones?
>>58248679sv is shit yeah I agree
>>58248757>just 16 stonesDo you not fucking know what 'at least' means?
>>58248671You can see 16 megastones in the trailer
>>58247442Because ZA is its own thing not tied to SV. It's only technically Gen 9. Gamefreak is progressively caring less and less about generations. You're not even allowed to trade back ZA to SV.
>>58248812new generation = new region with new pokemon as starters
The only video games I've ever pre-ordered in my life were Smash games, but I'm sure it has to feel awful doing a pre-order only to find out that it's not the complete game a month before it comes out.
>>58248812FRLG and HGSS weren't that tied with RSE and DPP either. The only real connections (the mew and deoxys islands, sinjoh ruins, etc) are all events
>>58248926Jasmine appeared in DPP, certain Johto specific mechanics returned in DPP like Day/Night encounters and okay about FRLG, that was a mostly faithful remake outside Sevii Islands. But both were still closer to Sinnoh/Hoenn than ZA is to SV in basically every point. There's essentially no connectivity between the two games and TCG went further on and separated the two in different eras (could be argued that this was a technical necessity with how SV base set is going to rotate next year). Even PLA had Laventon as some sort of Galar presence while Z-A seems to stick with Kalos.
>>58249124>LaventonNot him but lmao that's a pathetic link between Galar and Hisui and they can easily add something as small in Z-A too, they could idk say the staff of Paldea's academy helped updating the new dex, compare the small mega rocks growing on Lumiose to tera crystals on Paldea, say Quasartico was founded in Paldea, idk, anything honestly
>>58247442Gen 9 only got so many due to DLC. I bet if we had gotten Pokémon Z back in Gen 6, there may have been more new mons and Megas, I could see new Megas guaranteed but new species? Idk
>>58247469Why does Mega Mewtwo Y have a handle?Also the 'new Pokémon' thing only appeared in some early marketing and design documents. In the actual code they're usually listed under other form changes like what Castform has.
>>58248757To be honest, some of the 16 stones could be of the base game megas. Additionally there could be more they didn't show in the trailer. 16 is a good estimate.
>>58249195Laventon is one of the characters that appear the most in PLA, it's at least something. They've shown nothing linking Paldea and Kalos in Z-A trailer outside a few Kingambit statues (Kalos was already full of Bisharp statues back in XY)
>>58249323The leaks say ZA has a character who's a fan of Iono
>>58249262a lot of alien designs have thatIt's kinda like a halo
