This game looks better and better every time we see it

As per my signature, this game currently sits in my top 5 most anticipated

Really looking forward to this game, each time we see it it looks better. One thing I was impressed with is how many different patterns we could see from Kleavor(who seems to be the first boss). We saw him use a ton of different attacks targeting the trainer with good variety, if the bosses keep increasing in complexity from there it will be fun.

I am really looking forward to this one. I wonder what new Pokemon we else can expect. Evolution for existing ones and such.

 

[NabiscoFelt]

I'm just happy Pokemon's trying something so drastically different

Even if it doesn't end up working out it's always nice to see experimentation from established franchises like this. And personally, I think it looks great!

Excited for this one, I hope the moment to moment gameplay is fun and engaging.

 

[ChaosSaga]

I'm actually hyped, even if its roughts around the edges

 

[Aleh]

So excited for this. Been watching the latest trailers basically every day to look for the smallest details lol.
I hope they finally confirm the existence of Celestic Town at the very least, and hopefully Eterna City too.

Gimme new Pokémon and especially forms all day every day. Gen 7 introducing Alolan forms was the best thing that could happen to Pokémon since the invention of Pokémon itself.
