I don't see how it's justifiable that Charizard gets a third form. Popularity aside, it's tired and doesn't help the annoying gen 1 pandering. It's not like Pokemon is some type of obscure series.

I don’t understand how people would criticize TF and not TA/TM. The latter two had the worst goals of an evil team in mainline Pokémon games so far, and hopefully it’d stay that way.
I guess the only justification would be that it was actually the first time they were planning a goal for the evil team that wasn’t simply dominating and controlling the region like Team Rocket, as well as inserting the legendaries in the main plot of the games...but it was still really, really stupid.
Ironically enough, those were the exact same people they were saving. Kinda reminds me of that one scene in 2012 where it is seen that they are only saving rich people.You know, Team Flare had a reasonable goal as far as evil teams go, and an interesting one at that. World is overpopulated? Not enough resources and generosity to go around? Just pull a Thanos and killhalf of themall the selfish ones. There was some potential to explore some interesting concepts with the idea of overpopulation and genocide that X and Y unfortunately did not deliver in my opinion.
My guess is that maybe was an error? I wonder if they did not mean to post his name...maybe he is Leon’s rival though? Lost to him for the championship. It’s too bad that we know Leon endorses you....ooooh maybe he endorses Marnie! Someone to go against the main protagonist (and Leon’s brother) in an attempt to derail his championship lineage?Let's talk about Raihan. Who is he and why can't Game Informer talk about him when the official site literally has a screen shot up where Leon is addressing him?
Watch it be that Raihan is actually the bad guy and not Rose or Oleana.Let's talk about Raihan. Who is he and why can't Game Informer talk about him when the official site literally has a screen shot up where Leon is addressing him?

....actually, I think I found another interesting angle. Since we know major characters tend to be named after plants, I went to look up what Raihan was. Apparently it's another name for basil?Ah, interesting. Maybe he becomes embittered by his loss to Leon and thus attempts to sabotage him. Or perhaps Raihan refuses to accept his loss, believing that Leon cheated in some way and thus tries to "prove" that.
The name "basil" comes from Latin, basilius, and Greek βασιλικόν φυτόν (basilikón phutón), "royal/kingly plant", possibly because the plant was believed to have been used in production of royal perfumes.
I hate to give any credit to the Marnie is a princess thing (not because I dislike it. Just don’t believe it) but that would kind of fit....more on the idea that he endorses Marnie now.Now why does this mystery character apparently have a royal/kingly plant name?

I think it will be in real time like past entries.Do we have any idea how the day/night cycle works in this one? I’m positive we will have it, but with the wild area and camping I’m not sure if it will be real time or not.
Yeah, I don't see how the wild area being a thing would change it.I think it will be in real time like past entries.
In French chairman Rose is Sherhoz and Marnie is Rosemary, that would mean that her fullname would be Rosemary Sherhoz. That would be strange and a really bad localization having twice the reference to "rose".Personally, I think Marnie is related to Chairman Rose. Considering Marnie's name in Japanese is Mary and Rose is clearly his last name...the pun is there.
If anything Raihan is either related (basil and rosemary are both mints), and/or there's going to be some kind of Lusamine/Aether type twist somewhere again.
To be fair, the localization at the time of choosing the names might’ve not known the full script of the game and the relationships between the characters.In French chairman Rose is Sherhoz and Marnie is Rosemary, that would mean that her fullname would be Rosemary Sherhoz. That would be strange and a really bad localization having twice the reference to "rose".
