They've already stated that Home is coming to Legends.
Gotta Catch 'Em All! - Pokémon Thread
- Thread starter SHIELD Agent 47
- Start date
So have I and I will name it Catnip, or Nipper
That should be the Duck's name. Hes a Blue Footed Booby. With the oppai symbol on his little hat.Nipster
For reference the english name is "Quaxly."
The cat is "Sprigatito" and the fire croc is "Fuecoco."
They've already said there won't be every Pokemon in the game (like every game since LGPE) so here's hoping that at least Litten and Shinx make it in
I'm going Fuecoco. I'm legally obligated to pick the alligator, and it's also shaped like a pepper which is hilarious.

BDSP can now get a Mystery Gift of Oak's Letter, which unlocks the Shaymin event to go catch one. He's not shiny-locked, and will respawn if you just run away from the battle, run back down the path until the area name changes, and then return, so you can reset for a shiny if you're inclined.
Oh, look you can get a shiny Piplup in Cafe Remix and Shaymin in BDSP...
And there's a Legends Arceus cartoon coming, along with DLC today for some new stuff (including some free balls with a code)....
Oh, who am I kidding? All anyone is going to care about is Gen 9!
Scarlet and Violet! Kind of weird name choices, honestly. But, if you look REAL close at the trailer you'll notice two shields around the...magic door at the end (in the live action segments). On the shields we see what appears to be Grapes (Violet) and....some sort of citrus fruit, maybe a blood orange or a grapefruit or possibly Figs since those are red on the inside and apparently big in Italy (for Scarlet). So...are the legendaries going to be fruit-themed? Although, I've seen some people speculate that it could actually be a reference to UltraViolet and InfraRed light...as in something outside our normal perception, maybe something to do with invisibility or other dimensions again.
It looks like this region will be themed around Spain. You can see a building that's probably inspired by the Sagrada Familia. And with all of Spain's ancient ruins and this trailer starting off in a archeologist's study, I'm guessing the story will likely revolve around a ancient civilization or ancient Pokemon.
The game itself looks like it's using the Legends Arceus engine, to me. That's probably a good idea. People are liking the changes Legends brought with it.
And then there's the new starters! I'm...lukewarm on them, honestly. The grass cat is cute, but, like always, any choices I make will depend on final forms and typings. Beret duck might have a interesting evolution line. And fire types are always so useful early on.
Honestly, I'm a little surprised we're getting Gen 9 this quickly. I kind of thought they'd take more time to tweak things after Legends Arceus came out. But...I'm getting it, for sure.
I kind of wonder what they're going to do about Gyms this time around. Will they throw us another curve ball like in SM or will they do something more traditional? Would they dare to do anything themed around Matadors in this day and age? That could be a new angle on it, like SWSH's use of big stadiums and being themed around football-type fights.
Also, does anyone know any Spanish-themed myths the Pokemon could take inspiration from this time around. I'm sure Spain has some myths Gamefreak could draw from...but they'd probably be like SWSH's, mostly based around warriors or sportsmen or conquistadors or something. Don Quixote seems likely (especially if there are invisible enemies around).
Also, have a theory video:

Has it been 3 years already? Geez.
I hope they keep a lot of the mechanics from PLA, specifically catching and battling in the overworld.

The only way I could find to get to route 224 (where this shiny Shaymin is waiting) is to go through Victory Road again. Not only have all the trainer encounters reset in the fog room, but I'd forgotten just how overboard on random encounters this hugging game is. So yes, if I'm going to go through all that jive, you can bet I can go through the hassle of making sure this damn Shaymin is going to be shiny.
The region based on France had legends inspired by Norse mythology, so I don't think that's necessarily a limit.
Just need to use the kitty and crock to cook up a nice roasted duck!
This was an eventful day.
New games! Kinda strange one's called Scarlet since it's a bit redundant with Red.
The stark difference between SwSh and PLA leaves me a bit unsure on what to expect from this game. Open world at least is encouraging.
Hot Pepper Gator is pretty amazing. Grass Cat is, well, a grass cat. The duck looks rather like Ducklett with a hat instead of a inner tube. I haven't been liking how "characterful" more recent starters have gotten (prefer the more animalistic earlier ones), so I'm a bit apprehensive on seeing what these things turn into.
Legends Arceus had a free content update! New missions, new mechanics, and that one Ginkgo salesman carries more than one item now! Thank god.
And I found a whopping 5 shinies today, weee!
