​

In the latest Pokemon Presents video, Game Freak revealed new footage for Pokemon Legends: Arceus, and with it, some brand new forms of old Pokemon. In the ancient Hisui region, you'll be able to catch old favorites, with a new look and elemental typing. Four different forms were shown: Hisuian Growlithe, which is a Fire/Rock type, Hisuian Braviary, a Psychic/Flying type, Basculegion, a Ghost/Water evolution to Basculin, and Wyrdeer, an evolution to Stantler that has Normal/Psychic typing.

​

Which one of these new forms did you like best? Whether it's their appearance or typing, let's see which one was the GBAtemp community's favorite!

I skipped Sun/Moon due to the handholding and Z-moves, and Sw/Sh due to the duramaxing. If they keep those gimmicks out I'll come back to pokemon, don't even care about the new mon designs anymore.

Pokemon had a rough gen or two here and there but for the most part every gen has shitty pokemon and good pokemon, people who whine just to whine are really out of touch with what pokemon started as, cuz gen 1 has a lot of bad pokemon.

Exactly. I mean, there's three purple blobs in gen 1, two Pokémon just evolve into more of themselves and one is just its preevolution turned upside down. And people are saying that the new designs lack creativity. I mean, just compare Magnemite and Magneton to Klink, Klang and Klinklang. One is a ball with magnets and screws that evolves into three copies of itself. The other consists of gears that either change or get another component.

I'm not here to talk trash about Magnemite, it was my favorite Pokémon when I played gen 1. But looking at its design, you can clearly see, that it and its evolution aren't exactly what I'd call "peak creative design."

Posh Growlithe

 

[gaga941021]

Growlithe is a hentai protagonist and fucking love it.

The cringe is strong with you.

 

[Searinox]

Growlithe... mmm... can't wait to see big sexy regal liondog Arcanine. <3

 

[RichardTheKing]

So there's an alternate Growlithe shown...but not Arcanine? Huh. Wonder how good ol' doggo's changed.

 

[anhminh]

I swear people care more about tree than the Pokemon there days.

 

[Gunstorm]

Pokemon Legends is not a BOTW pokemon by any means. It is more monster hunter like.

Trailer shows that you chose a region on map, they will set a camp there and you will explore that region. So it is not one huge open world.

Ok it just was a joke

 

[CoolMe]

@Noctosphere You mean "genwunners"...
@seseiSeki I agree with most what you said. I just personally prefer the old artstyle & their designs, of the way Pokemon were drawn, it's obvious the shift was more towards kid friendly,cute and simple look... Here's a YT link to REALLY understand what i'm trying to say.

hisuian mankey. their faces are redder but they have a more chill attitude and they soak in hot springs. hisuian primeape even has a more chill look, with an eased smile. its ability, similar to storm drain and steam engine, it boosts its stats if hit by water. found in the snowy parts in the mountains

dont think any of this 2 upcoming games has any dynamaxing ro z moves at all.

 

[highjrlinooneisabitch]

[RedBlueGreen]

[Plazorn]

Wait, I thought this game was going to be set in the Sinnoh region

 

[Noctosphere]

Wait, I thought this game was going to be set in the Sinnoh region

watch the trailer, it was the name of the region before it was named Sinnoh
