Ha! Disco Pokeball!

I can say I am pleasantly surprised!! I was starting to lose my faith after Sun/Moon

we finally get open-area with camera control and Pokemon wandering around which is just superb!! big step for the franchise

all but one thing... that damn "Dynamax", like really, who gave the idea and who approved it? it just doesn't make any sense, especially with crowds watching giants fight - can't wait to try it on Wailord - much like mass killing lol

it would be something if it could only be used on basic forms of pokemon, having giant babies fighting but it's more like a cruel gimmick since it can be used on every single strong pokemon :S

I'm... pleasantly surprised. Everything looks really good. I like all of the new Pokemon, the game went open-world whilst keeping the balance with traditional Pokemon, and the gimmick is harmless, and actually looks fun this time (thank fuck Z-moves weren't repeated.) The region design looks good too.

My hype just shot up, this is looking like the best Pokemon since B2W2 easily.

- Dynamax is the stupidest edition to Pokemon series yet. Totally Uninterested in this feature.
- They did the typical Japanese thing in making the Wildlands just big open areas. Hopefully it is filled with interesting landmarks and activities.......
- Visually the battle system is still stuck in 8bit world. Back on the GB, with limited Tech, developers had to find creative ways of portraying Pokemon attacking each other. Is there a reason Pokemon still stand in place with physically attacking? Looks very outdated/lazy.

They recently said they will no be doing aggressive rivals anymore. They wanna keep the vibe friendly and strife free.

I don't mind the Dynamax.

At least gameplay wise. It's just another new mega-evolution, z-move, ect. Now that there are more of them it starts to become not so bad. Now when building a team you have more variety. When looking at someone's 6 person team you don't know which pokemon may have a z-move, which may be a mega, which may be a dynamax, ect. Just feels like it will allow for more variety in battling.

I nearly jumped for joy when I saw the Pokemon wandering around the overworld. Finally! The one thing I said this game absolutely must have.

Looks ok.

THe best part was the last video "not in game footage". Pokemon better look like that next gen lol.

Eh... Still too long.

You should see me sitting through long cutscenes.

The direct was pretty good. Dynamax is a nice new technique and Pokemon roaming the world is great to see. The 4 player raid battle is also pretty cool.
