Gonna post what I said on the other site and add a bit to it:
I wish this was more inspired by al Andalus specifically. It covers the Iberian peninsula, but it will be something non-Western finally. Making it focused on science, and perhaps even making it take place in the past. It would be far more interesting than being inspired by a western culture. It would give us more poc's as well.
Would also be very awesome to get Pokémon or elements in the game of astronomy, surgery, medicine etc.
A professor who specialises in Pokémon medicine or something would be cool.
On the trailer:
Game looks pretty rough, but that's to be expected by now. It'll probably be better by release.
Environments look better than Legends for sure, towns and indoor look hideous. Except that lone house though.
Pokémon still look soulless, but they actual textures on them now. They don't look like plastic toys walking around.
Seems like artstyle changed? Trainers look hideous, and I'm not talking about their outfits.
I wonder why they didn't show any battles. It'll probably be seamless like Legends, but they better not go back to the old style. I'm still cautious..
They're cutting Pokémon it seems? I thought they started with dexit because they had to put all the models from scratch into the games. By now they should have done a huge chunk of them already, why would you not put in what you have already worked on? Of course, we don't know this is the case for sure...
I really don't like that they're making gen 9 already though, AND we just had 2 Pokémon games recently. This doesn't bode well for the quality of the games. Still happy for those that were waiting on this.
Why can't they wait till next year? Why can't they make a new game/gen without new Pokémon. They know they're creating a problem by adding more and more Pokémon to the already high amount that we have. Heck, they don't even need a new region imo. Oh well...
Seems like Legends was indeed a proof of concept thing that they made. It always felt like it to me, it had good ideas that is leading into this. I hope this isn't just Legends mixed with old style Pokémon, I hope it's another big step forward.
