What "form" gimmick do you expect for Gen X?
fusions
>>58364051Fusion is definitely coming, but not in the infinite fusion idea where you can fuse any pair together.I imagine it'll be some storyline about scientists who fused very specific pokemon and those very specific fusions will be catchable in some endgame area, like paradoxmons
>>58364051>32 g-max formsWere there really that many? I can only recall like 5, 8 tops. Charizard, machamp, centiskorch, butterfree, pikachu... kingler? What else?
>>58364051I love how you excluded convergent and paradox mons while including cross-gen relatives because it destroys your argument
>>58364051There will be what is essentially a make you own pokemon feature. The the arc of the degeneration of meaning via the enablement of infinite options for consumption and distraction will be in this domain complete.
>>58364051Pokémon now obey your commands via voice recognition. Dodge is fully implemented. Terrain is now incredibly relevant. A fish on the ground can only jump or move awkwardly. A bird can't fly in a dense forest. Some Pokémon can use terrain to their advantage, such as making certain moves bounce off walls.Factors such as hunger, thirst, sleep, illness, and fatigue will affect the Pokemon's performance in battle.Levels no longer exist; everything is classified by the number of fights won, lost, or drawn, like a sports ranking.It will be hell for retro gamers.
>>58364094>excluded convergent and paradox monsthey're right there in the image though
>>58364069That image includes SwSh DLC
>>5836406912 Kanto Gmaxes, 1 Unova Gmax, 18 Galar Gmaxes, and Melmetal
>>58364069Venusaur, Blastoise, Gengar, Eevee, Snorlax, Lapras, Garbodor, Melmetal, Rillaboom, Cinderace, Inteleon, Corviknight, Drednaw, Sandaconda, Alcremie, Coalossal, Duraludon, Hatterene, Grimmsnarl, Toxtricity
>>58364094>Xhe considers this a brand new Pokemon
>>58364069You missed Meowth, Duraladon, Eevee, Venusaur, Blastoise, the Kung fu Faggots, the Galar starter trio, Alcreamie, Flapple and Appletun (these 2 shared the same model but with a different name and stats), Toxtricity, Gengar, Drednaught, Lapras, the Witch Bitch, the Goblin Nigga, Coalossal, Sandaconda, Melmetal, Snorlax, Garbodor, Orbeetle and Copperajah.
>>58364069>kinglerMost of the Gmax designs are kind of whatever but this would've been a pretty cool crossgen imo
>>58364051>107 new monslol. lmao even
>>58364152are you going to elaborate or did you just want to make an ass of yourself
>>58364065It already happened. Twice.Kyurem and Necrozma
>>58364224count nigga, counthttps://pokemondb.net/pokedex/game/diamond-pearlDP has 83 new mons available (79 in the regional dex + Rotom Giratina Heatran Cresselia).the rest are cross-gen evo availables only through transfer, or stupid mythical shit.
>>58364099What I meant was counting them in the number of Pokemon instead of separating them
>>58364065If they do fusions, they're absolutely going to ensure specific Pokemon can fuse. Venustoise will be one of them
>>58364094>excluded convergent and paradox>argumentGenuinely confusing post. What arguement?
>>58364125this should have been a mega
>mega>giga>terathe next gimmick will be petamorphosis
>>58364489>PETAI think they get enough hatemail from PETA as it stands.
>>58364469I think anon is saying that paradox pokemon and convergents (which are based on old pokemon but are new) should be considered New Pokemon in OP image.Crossgen evolutions are similarly based on old pokemon but are new, and are counted as New Pokemon in the image.Basically by counting the latter and not counting the former it makes things look worse.
>>58364314alright but gen 4 still added 107 new pokemon
>>58364314The fuck does availability have to do with the Pokemon existing or not? Do Porygon2 and the Beldum line not exist because they're postgame exclusive?
I dunno, maybe something related to some Pokemon being legendaries' avatars?
>>58364051Super lame gimmick where a pokemon changes ability or nature or something
>>58364061Based as fuck!But no it will be something gay like make Pokémon glow pink with energy that does something dumb
Not quite fusion but I was thinking the other day I want something like convergent evolution. I like that Iron Valiant has bits of both Gardevoir and Gallade but I don't like the robot theme so I want a biological version of it. Then I thought what other Pokémon could get a similar treatment. Imagine a Bellossom with Vileplume's colouring, rafflesia and dead leaves. Or introducing that beta Scizor that looked more like Scyther. Or a Frosslass with more Glalie like features.
>>58366729> I like that Iron Valiant has bits of both Gardevoir and Gallade but I don't like the robot theme so I want a biological version of it.that's what I'm predicting. They say pokemon games always foreshadow things they'll be doing in future games, so I think Roaring Moon foreshadowed megas in ZA and Iron Valiant is foreshadowing the fused mons gimmick in gen 10
>>58364051If you take Ashnime into consideration, we had>Super Ancient Gengar vs Alakazam vs Jigglypuff episode: G-Max + Paradoxmons (abnomal size + past versions)>Crystal Onyx episode: TerastalI suppose there will be peta prefix + something related to dreams as callback for Mismagius ep
>>58367446let's see: they've changed stats (megas), they've changed moves (z-moves), they've changed a combination of the above (dynamax), they've changed types (terastal), what haven't they changed yet?
>>58367451>Megas: Stats and Abilities>Z-Moves: Moves>G-Max: Stats (HP) and Moves>Terastal: TypesNatures! They haven't changed Natures yet! Or did they? Hm...
>>58367481no but honestly that wouldn't really make for a very interesting mechanic
>>58364051You forgot hisuian forms for gen 8 and like 30 new megas in gen 9
>>58367553>one way transferZA is generation 10
>>58367525Unless, it's coupled with another aspect. Can you see the pattern?
>>58364241And Calyrex
they literally do japanese super sentai or rider things, so we get some shitty ability shield that also gives you super move or super type
>>58364125I wouldn't mind gigantamax coming back in a diluted form, like they're 1/3rd the size and their moves don't do extra damage but they have the Gmax effects. And only for mons that have a gigantamax forme.Lorewise, something about you can carry a portion of ginganto-fumes to use wherever, but need to recharge it at a pokecenter.I just miss G-Orbeetle, man
>>58364051Hope one of the Gen 10 starters is pretty.
>>58364375they avoid a lot of obvious callbacks to the anime. G-max Tentacruel would have been obvious, but they didn't do it. Crystal onix would have been obvious, but they didn't do it. Etc.
if you think about it, hidden abilities in bwbw2 were a proto-gimmick.
>>58368866I'm still waiting for a crystal onix ala blood moon ursaluna
>>58364051palworld
>>58369169they really missed an opportunity with tera to not just make it REVERSE type weaknesses and resistances, that was what was special about the crystal onix anyway and it would have been way more balanced.
