I'm sure it's been mentioned in here already, just hard to sort through this thread... but is Walmart selling it early a widespread issue or fairly isolated? I'm tempted to go check out the two Walmarts around me.
 
Right now we're officially at 20 Megas and counting.

REVEALED

Abomasnow
Absol
Aerodactyl
Ampharos
Blastoise
Blaziken
Charizard X
Charizard Y

CONFIRMED

Druddigon
Galvantula

I believe that's all of them. Along with a whole bunch of rumored ones from assorted trademark/leak lists that remain unconfirmed.

So Mega Gardevoir is confirmed!!!!???

I will never forget how Gamefreak made Giovanni's highest leveled Pokemon in FireRed a level 50 Rhyhorn. That was some real disrespect.

So basically, "I don't like it just because I don't like it."

The designs are aesthetically clean and varied. Regirock is rough, Regice is all sharp edges, Registeel is cast and molded, and these all fit their types. There is none of the clutter of the beast or musketeer trio, nor none of the repetition of the kami or pixie trios. Also, no member of the trio is a rubber chicken on fire.

The Regis are definitely the best trio.

The beasts are modeled after Japanese mythology sumi-e paintings. The regis are literally elemental blocks. Its stuff I would throw together while bored in a 5th grade math class. They are so simple in design that they ARE shitty, they don 't have a cute gimmick like diglett or ditto to save them either. There is no majestic aura around their design, they just look like derpy bots whipped up by an 8 year old.
 
So no news yet on a third level for gloomy or how many new mons we will be getting, darn.

Hoping we get over 70, if not the megas will serve that purpose.

Am I the only person who's okay with "only" 70 new Pokemon? There's enough fucking Pokemon already, I don't need 100+ new ones every gen.

The problem that I have is that Game Freak seemed to focus on Mega Evolution, which are useless to me and aren't new Pokémon or proper evolution.

Having only 70 new Pokémon is a bad thing in my book as I rather use a new Pokémon for each of my playthrough.

Josh just confirmed that Eevee doesn't evolve with moon stone.

Lmao, like Eevee was going to evolve with a moon stone that boat has long gone since gen 1.

I've been looking over who I want on my team, and it really makes me wish they'd change up the game by expanding the party to 8 or something

Reviews have mentioned that, with the new Exp Share (it shares experience to your whole party), it's easier to swap and change your party around a lot because there's much less level parity between the individual Pokemon.

Regarding Pokemon? Yes yes it is.

No, not really. Fewer pokemon gives them less designs to focus on and thus more time to make them better. GF has already put out a lot of crap pokemon, and lowering that has clearly has given them time to create better designs for this gen.

Also, they're doing a lot of MegaEvolutions which have to be designed as well. Counting megas, we're probably close to the number of new designs we get in a generation.

That overworld trailer was EXCELLENT.

Also, IDK how to feel about the news someone posted on /vp/ about Kosthedin. The fine seems excessive...

I realize that, but I've always enjoyed selecting my party before it while I play and sticking with the 6. At least for single player. I want the party to be a bit more definitive I guess

Wait, what? They fined him for buying it early? WTF is that shit. If anyone should get a fine it should be the store

They made him pay a fine?
No - according to the story they're fining the store like $2000+ per copy that wasn't returned to them. Nothing was done to the people who bought the games.

They aso noted was that, if it wasn't for people like Kostdin posting pictures on Instagram, they would've overlooked the street date break since it tends to happen.

Went to 4Chan and read the news. Leaker isn't getting fined, store is. Up to $2000 for each leaked copy. Honestly, doesn't seem that unfair to me. If a store leaks something, they should have to pay.

Okay, suppose that is reasonable. Then again, everyone should have known what people would do with early copies of a game with this sort of hype and fanbase

I'm still in despair that Leafeon exists, and doesn't need a leaf stone. I mean c'mon!

Also, I'm in the camp that's pretty ok with fewer new ones. I'd rather not have multiple thousands of Pokemon after a couple of decades, and it would be easier for the devs going forward too. I'd like to see the number of new ones gradually decrease per iteration, leveling off at 1000-1500 eventually.

all my loli wolf companions are so moe
80~ is good actually. Don't forget that all have been new Pokemon unrelated to old mons save for Sylveon
