Y'all what if Eldegoss evolved into something like this:

It would be better than the way it looks right now. Giving it a afro made out of seeds was stupid.

The Twitter posts here that mention info that lined up with the dynamax leak also mentions that we'll see the first evolutions in August. Things continue to seem true.

This one is fake.

'There will be 2 Pokemon in the trailer, but they were in the demo'.

He has edited the post as well, meaning he is not reliable whatsoever, since everyone could have guessed Dynamax gameplay.

This kind of looks like something Game Freak would do; not too drastic of a change, but enough of one to make it distinct from its pre-evo. I think this artist should apply for a job at Game Freak or a similar video game company.

Just because he got one thing wrong ruins his whole reputation? He got everything right except for one thing, and that was one June 8th. Three days before E3 started.

Do you all think that shiny pokemon will be displayed in the overworld pokemon models, kinda like in the Lets Go games?

While I do hope so, I also wouldn't get my hopes up. As far as Game Freak is concerned, anything can be added or taken away for any given game.

Yes, I do.

I just finished that questionnaire now and I made it clear that I'm angry with some of the Pokemon being cut off from the game in one of their questions and that I won't be purchasing the game unless they make a change to include all the Pokemon in, even if it's post-release where they'll do a patch to include rest of the Pokemon in.

I'm glad that they're including the questionnaire even if it's only intended for the Japanese fans because I do know that lot of Japanese fans are not happy with GameFreak's decision to cut off some of the Pokemon in too and I'm glad that everyone are still keeping up the fight over this.

Well, no. First, you can't edit tweets. Second, you can see in the top tweet there that he meant to say demo when he said trailer in that first tweet. Everything said in that chain came true.

Maybe a male Eldegoss that will never probably be.

I mean the Eldegoss we have now is pretty complete with like an young girl with 70s hair turning into a old lady with a shawl and an afro (also 70s hair).

I feel that's the logical case

I love that evolution design! I forgot that it could still have a third evolution, but thinking about it now, it definitely could happen considering the first two evolutions were revealed so early (well actually... the earliest considering it's the first Galar Pokemon 'line' we've seen).

 

[Grass Type Gardenia]

Key: Temperate Region, Tropical Region, Cold Region

Japanese Regions: Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, Sinnoh
International Regions: Unova, Kalos, Alola, Galar

I just thought of doing this graph of the Region types since we're going to have the description of ''Galar is too cold for this Pokemon'' in Pokemon Home, which will most definately be a ''My Pokemon Ranch'' with Hayley.

 

[Joker901]

We already have two cotton based Pokemon. We could definitively live without a third one but hey...I hope Eldegoss evolve into something cool because Jumpluff, Whimsicott and Eldegoss are all kinda similar: a small dark body with tons of cotton around it...

I absolutely love it. It reminds me of the pokemon fusion fan art that I shared on here a few days ago that I also liked. I like this one alot more though. I really hope it does evolve again. I think it's design could be so much better if it did. Not that it looks bad now, it doesn't but I feel like there could be more too it. I love Whimsicott and Roserade Roselia but this is like a combination of two great mons in design.

Sinnoh isn't that cold, and neither is Galar by the looks of it.

When cold, I think they mean colder than Temperate.

 

[Scruffyjay]

Not a fan of that Eldegoss fan-evo.

I love Eldegoss the way it is now and don't expect it to evolve further.

 

[RileyXY1]

Galar has a similar climate to Kalos, considering what their real world counterparts are based on.
