Oh noWE HAVE STATS
Skeledirge with dat speed
I don’t care about competitive at all, but a low speed stat is brutal for a single-player playthrough

Stats for the starters were leaked yesterday
Overall, the stats are not great unfortunately. I also think they're real - there's a couple of typos but I think the only source saying they might be fake was Centro
- Pronouns
- He/him
Very early impressions of who might be strong competitively, based on stats alone:
- Meowscarada and Quaquaval should both be very good (Quaquaval's low-ish Speed is made up for by its speed-increasing signature move, and it also gets Moxie which makes it a huge threat). Skeledirge's bulk is decent but won't make up for its too-slow Speed tier
- Dondozo looks great as a physical wall who can also do big damage. There are others who have good HP, and often Def, but Dondozo seems the best poised to make a splash (pun intended)
- I think Revavroom could potentially make a good scarfer. It has decent but not great Speed and excellent Attack
- I wish Cetitan had at least one good stat out of Def and SpD, since they're both very low and kinda negate its high HP. However, I think it will still have its uses
- Baxcalibur is going to be fucking terrifying
- Mabosstiff is in a similar category to Revavroom, although its Speed is possibly slightly too slow
- Same with Gholdengo on the SpA side
- Don't really feel like going into the Paradoxes or mascot Legends lol
- Of the four Legendaries - the snail and fish and what have you - it seems like Ting-Lu and Chen-Pao are the best (are those really their names...?)
- Ceruledge seems better than Armarouge, purely on account of being faster
- Kingambit will be great, as will Annihilape
- Clodside should make a good special wall

Since it hasn't been posted here yet, here are the 400 Pokemon that are in the Paldea Pokedex...
...and here are the 76 Pokemon that are transfer-only.

Depends on the ruleset but I feel VGC is going to be a lot of sun/terrain with paradox mons, which could be fun. Some creative abilities got added too.
Singles is still dead (and pretty much buried now, honestly. Don't think GF has any intention on making 6v6 playable in-game anymore) on cartridge so I'll stick to Showdown for my 6 vs 6 fix but that's going to be extremely unbalanced for at least a month while they work out if terastalize needs to get banned or not lol.

I mean, playing on Showdown makes me realize why Gamefreak killed 6v6: it's boring. Games take forever and stall is everything. This would be much worse on cart, with all the animations and whatnot.
3v3 is actually pretty fun. It doesn't have the depth of doubles but I would recommend trying it out

Cetitan with Slush Rush + boosted defenses from snow should be fun. Hard to revenge kill something like that.
I don't really mind stall/balance, breaking down a team structure like takes a lot of maneuvering and positioning even if it takes like 100+ turns lol. I don't really care about 6v6 not being a thing on cartridge anyways because VGC is there, I'm fine with just swapping between Showdown or the actual game depending on what I'm in the mood for, never really had a strong preference to play on cart exclusively.

I don't know why they have to nerf both of them at the same time. Zacian needed the nerf, but Zamazenta really didn't.

Ah, so I see that Game Freak will once again never let go of its Charizard bias. As a Venusaur fan, I once again feel robbed. Robbed.
Still, I'm in for Quaquaval, Armarouge, and possibly Arboliva as team members during the main quest.

I haven't watched any streams or anything but all impressions I've seen of the characters and story have been really positive
- Pronouns
- He/Him
To echo Hologram, I've avoided story and character spoilers so I legitimately have no clue what happens, but from the reactions I was getting from those who were spoiled, it seemed to be quite good and surprisingly positive
- Pronouns
- he/him
I was glancing on and off at one of the streams, and I'd say yeah, they seem to be pretty well written
In general the story seems to have a gotten a fair bit of focus and also seems to be fairly character driven. Kinda like Sun and Moon from what I remember, but all wrapped up in an open world.

Story spoiler about Paradox Pokemon:
Story spoiler about the ending part:
Whew. Compare this to Sw/Sh ... GF let their story team go all in this time.
Though i gotta give something to Sw/Sh, i love unhinged campy villains like Oleana. That "the henchmen are more radical and evil than the actual villain" is a funny trope.
It's been now confirmed that the Paradox Pokemon are indeed from the past / the future.
Story spoiler about the ending part:
The professors created a time machine that seemingly runs awry via an AI, so Paldea is at risk of being overrun by Paradox Pokemon.
The profs apparently died in an explosion when things started to go wrong, and the profs you see during the game is the AI imitating them.
The prof AI is seemingly the final boss.

There's a pretty meaty quest and a battle mansion type thing. Very similar to some of the 3DS games in my opinion, also some very obvious hints to DLC expansions.

Remember back in X and Y when all three Kanto starts got mega evolutions? That was nice. Venusaur’s was so cool! Just ignore the fact that Charizard got two mega evos while Blastoise and Venusaur both only got one.
It would be nice for the two also-rans from Kanto got some love too, GF! It’s been years! Venusaur jumping into a pond last year barely counts!

To be fair, all three Kanto starters got Gigantamax in SWSH DLC, even if only C appeared in the base game.
Seems neat. Hope to have some real challenge After the main campaign
was gonna get scarlet because I love the box legendary and prefer the past Pokémon to the future ones, but with eiscue on the line I have put in my pre-order for violet
Looking through the stats again, the Wiglett and Toedscool lines have the exact same statlines as their counterparts, which confirms to me that they're just regional forms that aren't constrained by the original naming convention. That way they don't run into the Alolan Sandshrew situation.
I also assume they don't want to be on the hook for making all forms compatible in future games if they just want to have Diglett or Tentacool in the game. That's of course a requirement of their own making and pure speculation on my part, since BDSP and PLA already buck this "trend".
What is weird about that is that you can't Transfer Tentacool or Tentacruel into SV.

I'd argue it's easier to trade for one single Pokemon (Eiscue) than for a whole batch of them (all ancient paradoxes).
Sadly the pre-order is in

I just remembered that my absolute bro of a Pokemon, Toxtricity is also in ScarVio. That one has to be on my team.
Also, people figured out how to evolve Primeape, use the move "Rage Fist" 20 times then level up. So literally making it so angry it dies.
Cancel it? Or is it digital and already preloading?

Regional forms often don't have the same stats. Also, what do you mean by the Alolan Sandshrew situation?

Few updates, it appears t he egg and TM movelist are now out for ScarVio.
Fuecoco learns Slack Off, so that's the badly needed recovery move for the slow thing.
And a very unique evolution method: To evovle Bisharp you need to have Bisharp hold a specific item "Leader's Crest" and have it defeat 3 other Bisharp with that item.

That's actually really cool. I really liked most of the unique evolution methods from Arceus, although a few of them were maybe a bit too esoteric and nearly impossible to figure out on your own without looking it up. Still, these different evolution methods are neat, and they are way better than just being a trade evolution.
Those are probably back, aren't they? Trade evo items was one of the best parts of PLA.
- Pronouns
- He/Him
I'm not sure about the evo items. Some stuff from Arceus isn't in, for example the item to evovle Scyther to Kleavor. Kleavor is HOME transferable and you can only evovle Scizor in ScarVio as of now.
Like Raccoon said, I was referring to how it lives in snow, despite its English name being Sandshrew.
that alolan sandshrew isn't that big of a situation. we have all sorts of animals with weird common names tbh. like there are male lady bugs
