Actually I'm more than familiar with it, since I've seen these with Pokemon Heart golf the first time but it's more the form that bothers me this time
Oh yeah he has a slightly different haircut now. I mean c'mon going to the groomer and getting dyed doesn't make you a different pokemon, that's just bad.
Meloetta at least changes her typing, Keldeo form changes does nothing in the stats or typing.
It's just for cosmetic.
Yeah it doesn't look that bad.
Considering how low key this announcement was, I really doubt that they are using Dusk form as a selling point for Ultra Sun and Moon.
They're clearly hiding something bigger and just getting the smaller news out of the way first.
it does in alola, just look at digglet
I think gamefreak needs a major shake up. New creative leadership, bigger teams and a bigger budget. The series has just been going down the drain since XY. Bw2 were the last good games. I don't think they transitioned well to the 3ds era and now I'm worried about the switch era.

Interestingly, one of its attacking animation has its eyes turn red as it roars.
I can't deny that I kind of like the design in a vacuum, but when placed next to the other two Lycanrocs I feel like it looks more like a souped-up Day Lycanroc than a true middle-ground form.

Well if you're asking a genuine question, I believe that Hitoshi Ariga, who was a designer for the Mega Man games, created some of the X/Y Pokémon designs.

The form will grow on you like the Midnight form grew on me. If the stat spread is better than the other two forms it'll help change your view on it.
Digglet didn't just get an haircut it, he got fabulous. That's very different.

I just wish that it has a second typing. But it won't.
It definitely looks like more than just a colour swap:
But it shares a lot.. A LOT... of resemblance to Midday form rather than Midnight form. The back fur/shape and crescent moon arch of the fur are the main things from Midnight that are visible.
still looks like a palette swap with the tail up to me

Completely and totally agree. Nothing has stood out so far as must buy features.
And it seems they are perfectly content with it staying that way.

Yeah it's basically Midday form with the Midnight one's scruff and glowing eyes when it attacks.
It's tail is still down actually, its just got the arching back fur from Midnight Form along its back now. It's supposed to be a transitional Pokemon form, so the form between Midday and Midnight so it has aspects of both. But its base model is totally Midday form with additions made to it (from a 3D modeling/texture perspective)
i know, you can see it there
but the extra fur from midnight just look like it. it's too small of a difference to be remarkable. i get that it was supposed to be a transition phase, but it's basically the midday model in a diferent color the same way. could at least have changed the posture and animations more, this is too little effort.
While I will admit that X and Y and the whole of gen 6 has been disappointing, Gen 7 has been strong and that is because they mastered the 3D engine and because there has been a shift in the series director as Masuda stepped down after X and Y.
Ohmori is now the series director and so far he has been doing a good job.

Actually I'm gonna be honest, I really wish this was Lycanroc's actual Midday form. I didn't like either Midday or Midnight form in Sun and Moon but I actually like this Dusk form. Maybe it's the coloring.

A USUM reveal being underwhelming? Shocking.

Ultra Deja Vu.
HEY, who spilled orange paint over my Lycanroc?! There goes my chances of winning the Alolan dog show... wait! I'll just call it a new forme! No one will have to know.... (Why are its eyes glowing red? Must be a side effect.)
Yeah, not terribly exciting news. Keep the news coming, though!

Listening to that clip again, anyone else think the cry sounds weird? The other Lycanroc forms make dog noises, this sounds like something that a UB would have.

Wait a minute... wasn't there a rumor on 4Chan or somewhere else where it said we would get new info or trailer on the 6th? Technically it's the 6th in Japan right?
I'm SO excited for the new music.
We all knew that. We knew Ohmori was going to be in Pokénchi since last week, the rumor just was just based on that fact.

This is like the first Pokemon game I'm not excited for. I think after like, near 20 years of playing Pokemon games I'm just burned out.
Like I enjoyed Pokemon Sun and Moon. Team Skull is my favorite evil team, Gladion is a fun rival...but I still gave up and didn't finish right before the Elite 4. I just wasn't feeling it.
Don't think that was on the game either. Hmm. I should probably take a Pokemon break for a year or two.

I absolutely agree. I wanna have high hopes about Ultra, but we know nothing about it.

We did know that? Lol.. I just found out today but okay. Guess my line of thinking isn't right.

that was a massively disappointing form.
This is common for this show.
Ash is going to get it next week in the anime so it kind of makes sense.
I had to do compare it side-by-side with the Midday form just to figure out the differences. They didn't even try with this one.

Yeah. Even Ash Greninja got massive hype when he was teased.

It's a mix of its two forms with a higher likeability to the mid-day one.
Of course it's not going to look wildly different. There's a concept here.
My guess is that they had this one planned a while back but things changed and now they're trying to end Gen 7 as fast as possible.
Its not a mix of anything. It's literally midday form with an extra fluff of fur behind its head. "Mix" would imply both forms would have features in this form, which is not the case at all

it's funny because Furfrou (the Pokemon that changes appearances based on grooming) looked really more different to the point that they can be form changes with different types too
Furfrou has such awesome designs <3it's funny because Furfrou (the Pokemon that changes appearances based on grooming) looked really more different to the point that they can be form changes with different types too
I don't know what to expect so I'm keeping an open mind. Maybe we'll see some changes for the better, assuming they've been taking feedback from a global audience. Pokemon sequels have been pretty good in my opinion so I'm generally not worried, looking at you Gold/Silver and Black/White 2.
As far as monster rearing games go, I'm much more excited for Monster Hunter Stories and Digimon Story Cyber Sleuth Hackers Memory.

This form is SUPER DISAPPOINTING. What kind of form is this? It's just a stupid recolour..... meh.
It's not a palette swap guys.
Orange fur, green eyes. That's two palettes right there. Yet people are continuously implying that it is a SINGLE palette when clearly that is not the case. Plus he's got an extra rock. Imagine if you wore a belt one day, and the next, you didn't wear a belt. The difference is so vast that you should be forced to change your name.
