Calling it now; we got Fire/Fighting again.
Also Football Rabbit. Scorbunny. Score. And it's described as 'A Rabbit Pok?mon that is always running about, bursting with energy.' So Sportsbunny.

My best guess is that Scorbunny's final evolution will be Fire/Rock, and that it'll kick around a chunk of rock as a ball.
The only devil's advocate argument I can come up with in support of random battles is that non-random ones have a passive, static approach to them. You reach a new area and squat, waiting for a list of mons to show up. It's always only a matter of time and maybe weaving around other pokeys before you reach a target. There's a lack of tension and surprise, plus you don't have any input on when/where that rare pokey shows up. Then again, that goes with random battles too. I'm OK with random battles because it's what I've come to expect after 20+ years with these games, but there should be some kind of modifiers so that it's easier to hunt down the rarer ones, especially once you've caught/fought enough common pokeys. Or just give the player some modicum of control over which pokemon show up. Bait, sneaking, grass density, something.
I think it would be cool to have it be a toggleable option so people who like one can do it that way, while people who don't can do it the other and then everyone's happy.
but if it's just for nostaaaaalgiaaaa
The next logical step would be to do a bunch of support of Gen 2, but Gen 2 is really bland and inflexible compared to most of the others. I know it has its supporters, but it's not popular overall and just doesn't provide them a ton of interesting tools to work with.Really? I feel like I see Gen 2 for the most often lauded as best gen. Wish I could rate it on my own terms, it's the only generation that I haven't beat. Couldn't beat E4 when I was a kid, so I didn't even know the Kanto side was a thing and I bought Heart Gold used way after release and haven't touched it.

As much as I think gen 5 was one of the best in the series, even I thought it had some of the most weird designs across the entirety of its lineup (then again it does have some of my favorites...). They must have used some different design philosophy for it.

I wonder if maybe they tried to go for "American designs" somehow.Considering Braviary exists, I wouldn't doubt it, honestly. Pretty much screams "USA the Pokemon" to me whenever I think of it.
Every gen has it's stinkers and it's winners.
And Gen 4 remakes would be up next chronologically. Although dear god can we have a Platinum remake instead of D/P? Or at least have the Platinum regional dex?
I'm not counting on regional formes. Megas were dropped after Gen 6. Regionals didn't even continue into US/UM. [Likewise don't expect Z-Moves as anything but a postgame thing; although the core of Z-moves isn't something that would need an update anyway]
If there is remakes they will go with the D/P games (since the other remakes have taken the third game and tossed it aside while taking the best parts of it.) Also can i say that i'm not a giant fan of the fact the 3ds isn't likely to get Pokemon Sword/Shield and plus their isn't anything i want on the switch to make buying it for simply one or two games worth the initial investment i mean i just don't like how the switch controllers feel (likely a result of them being really tiny).
Plus at least for me it's really hard to even be interested in a system that doesn't have much in the way of games i want. It's not like i need sword and shield in my life. Legend of Zelda is kinda meh in my opinion, Pokemon has lost it's interest for me mostly with SM/USUM, Plus i just can get most of the games i'm interested in via the playstation or a computer so *shrugs*

None of the first three gens had their first release be such a flawed mess as D/P were compared to Platinum however.Snubbull and Granbull say hi.
Also Let's Go is a Yellow remake, and technically Gen 1 re-remakes were due.
Who wants to take bets on a Bulldog pokemon?

Last I checked they were the 'Fairy Pokemon'.
I mean actually classified as 'Bulldog pokemon'.
[Also Granbull/Snubbull are probobly Cu Siths, because that is literally Celtic for Dog Fairy, who, according to legend, are the size of a bull; and look like a dog; hence their appearance... so actually with their origin being British I think it's a fair bet to say Snubbull will be in the regional dex?]
Besides; it's not like we have pokemon based on the same animal already.
Also; what do you guys think the Regional Bird and Regional mammal will be based of? They're inevitable additions after all. I'd say Pidgeon or Swan, but Unova took those birds. Maybe a Goose? As for mammal, maybe something like a Mouse?
Seems a bit dumb of me to say again, but this doesn't at all strike anything with me like how Platinum or HG/SS did. Just seems like milking a cow.
Wait, I'm not sure I follow. Are you saying Sword and Shield are a total hard reset and nothing can be transferred into them, or that Pokemon Home can't be used to do that? Is there another method that does work?
That's annoying and bad but isn't ultimately a deal breaker I don't think. That seems like something that can be fixed later, either through a patch or, worst case scenario, a sequel game. Definitely not great, seems sloppy, but I was worried you were saying all transfs were cut off period and I guess I'm glad that's not the case.It's not going to be fixed later with a patch or anything, they're making this a new policy; they're not going to make games with every single Pokemon in it in the future because of time and balance issues that they never elaborate on and could probably be fixed with a delay or balance patching instead of just not programming a certain Pokemon outright. A Sword/Shield sequel isn't going to fix this either because it'll be following the new policy of only programming up to probably 450 Pokemon that fit the region aesthetic out of the current 800.
It's literally impossible to have a complete collection then, right? That's so heinous that I can't imagine it doesn't get fixed somehow. Cynically this could be a ploy to release a "complete" version later with everything included so everyone can be charged a second time, and generously it's a wildly optimistic decision by Nintendo. I can't really envision things working like this, some kind of fix seems inevitable one way or another.We can only hope there's enough of a backlash to make them reconsider. There's outrage on 4chan, Reddit, 2ch, Twitter, Youtube, etc.
Thank you to all of our fans for caring so deeply about Pok?mon. Recently, I shared the news that some Pok?mon cannot be transferred to Pok?mon Sword and Pok?mon Shield. I've read all your comments and appreciate your love and passion for Pok?mon.
Just like all of you, we are passionate about Pok?mon and each and every one of them is very important to us. After so many years of developing the Pok?mon video games, this was a very difficult decision for me. I'd like to make one thing clear: even if a specific Pok?mon is not available in Pok?mon Sword and Pok?mon Shield, that does not mean it will not appear in future games.
The world of Pok?mon continues to evolve. The Galar region offers new Pok?mon to encounter, Trainers to battle, and adventures to embark on. We are pouring our hearts into these games, and we hope you will look forward to joining us on this new journey.
I've done quite a few IRL but the only reason they worked out is because I got carried. I've been moving through the game very slowly so all I have to contribute right now is level 35 Wooloos...
