Oh yeah, I wonder if the fact that he mentioned that he'll nickname the Grape legendary, and has been comparing it to Centro, means that it really is based at least partially on a dog? Or looks like one? Even with a Dragon typing, that doesn't really rule it out from being dog-like considering 10% Zygarde is a thing.

I know we just had Zacian and Zamazenta but... I will gladly accept more puppies.

The table is always on standby!!

Though the clock being split into threes like that with the hour, minute, and second (I guess? I don't see many non-digital clocks honestly...) looks pretty evenly split between the three in that picture. Maybe its not just a past/tradition and future/technology thing but a past, present, AND future thing like some people are too tied to the past while others are only focused on the future (kinda like Rose was actually?) and the player's gonna find a way to get them to see eye to eye and remember that they're in the here and now and gotta remember the past but also look to the future too while staying grounded in the present reality.

I wonder if the mascots really are the PokéRide, complete with different forms for different rides like how Zygarde has different forms. And then you just don’t catch it until end-game (it’sa helpful friend until then).

The only thing I see keeping them from doing this is how tricky that would be with you running around on a legendary. Do people constantly comment on what you’re riding on? Does no one do it and it feels weird?

I don't really think the position of the hands on the clock really mean anything, considering it kinda just spazzes out and where the hands are placed depends on the frame you take the screenshot at-

Although that first frame is the starting point before it starts freaking out.

I have been wondering that, if it's like Nebby except if Nebby was actually useful and not just a dumb gag for most of the game.

I imagine the fact that you're riding a legendary around could be handwaved much like the ride pokemon in Hisui- no one seems to bat a lash at you charging up on your sacred Wyrdeer.

The princess and Saint George led the dragon back to the city of Silene, where it terrified the populace. Saint George offered to kill the dragon if they consented to become Christians and be baptized. Fifteen thousand men including the king of Silene converted to Christianity.[c] George then killed the dragon, beheading it with his sword, and the body was carted out of the city on four ox-carts.

I see a connection :unsure:
Could one of the mascot legend be based on this?

The legendary just hanging out with you as a ride pokemon would also give the evil team more reason to care about this random child, never made much sense to me in most gens that the admins would go out of their way to fight this random kid when they have grunts they could just send.

By the way in case anyone is curious, this seems to be the current consensus on the blurry colors of the corner of the Gen 9 Dex tease when Khu showed off the collage tease.

The damn dragon is still here and as such he shall go down one more tier in my starter tier list because damn is it annoying. The last two I am eh on because Sneasler is just an assumption and I dont really see much of a color for where Ursaluna is at

I can definitely see the first ones being Charizard and Pikachu but I dunno about the rest of them.

XD Also kinda wonder if Khu put together a fake one and unveiled that corner on purpose just to induce rage.

Now I love Charizard, I don't mind it being in nearly every game, I'm alright with it getting new forms... but singling it out from the other Kanto starters is such blatant favoritism that I'm even feeling pretty blargh at it. Like... at least give Bulbasaur and Squirtle some equal love. Giving Charizard two Megas and a Gmax and then adding the other two as an after-thought and now this? It's getting gross, Game Freak. I love my dragon, but stop making people hate it.


Edit: Looking at it again, I guess it makes sense, given pokedex order. Kudos to all those people who bothered sorting that out from tiny blurry pixels.

Some of them are definitely safe if we assume none are new regional forms, for example Tentacruel is the only Water Poision type in Gen 1 so it has to be the blue and purple. Similarly if that is the steel color and not the normal one Perrserker is the only pure steel type that would fit there. (Although technically it should be with gen 8 mons but maybe Khu does the more logical ordering?)

Edit: I'm most eh about the Jumpluff(?) Quagsire spot because there's some normal or steel type grey in there that is just ignored, but that might just be because of the blur.

...feck, yeah, these are lining up well, I think they've nailed it. Which means that it looks like we're not getting a regional Quagsire... damn, I was really hoping for an El Drac variant. =( Doesn't even look like there could be a new evo for it either.

Unless like the Meowth line you can get two forms of it and the whole Quagsire line is available but has its variants listed somewhere else.

They could just be scared of your...power? And I guess that would be postgame right?

Of course!!! Or maybe a nintendo direct is coming in 12 hours and 42 minutes!? (lol)

There is that bit of grey in that area that was ignored, could it potentially be Water/Steel and Steel/Ground or something? (Or the less Interesting normal instead of steel), which would lead to a Quagsire regional (Not sure if Steel works with El Drac though). But it could just be the blur like i said before.

Don't mind more forms for meowth and charizard. Those are two of my favorite pokemon, so while I wish the other Kanto starters would get something as well, I don't care at all about charizard getting more stuff. Though I think I always prefer their original forms so if there's no way to get Kanto meowth I'll be a little disappointed.

Good news! They are in the trailer

Probably June 3rd. Khu said “See you in June” ? Just speculating.
I think that was referring to when Khu will do their next Riddle.

I think it's just because of the blur, because this is about how it lines up.

A shame how it seems that nothing will be done with Girafarig this generation, if that analysis is correct.
