- pinsir and heracross prevos unveiling in march
- sylveon involves the bond system
- trainer has levels
- pokemon bond levels
- in-battle whistle key item
- "bond-eye" previews a wild pokemon's nature, your compatibility with it influences its capture rate
- bank and ATM system
- time-travel mechanics
- 99 new pokemon, new prevos and evos, 6 legends, no new pokemon as traditional early-game rodents, birds or bugs
all this about trainers having levels themselves and the "bond" stuff...i wonder how much the trainer will benefit from grinding on audino
edit:more-
Xerneas is Psychic/Rock
Yveltal is Ghost/Flying
The starters final evolutions are
Grass/Flying: Chespin is based off some fruit(?) or something he said think of a mammalian Garchop
Fire/Psychic: Fennekin, as he said, looks kinda like Ninetails but with "Lotus-shaped" ear fluffs and one tail
Water: Froakie will evolve into a giant horned toad with white fluff covering parts of it's body.
6 Legendaries, 10 pre-evo's, and around 20 evolutions to older Pokemon with Pinsir getting a baby form and an evolution.
Besides Xerneas and Yveltal the other 4 are a quartet I believe they're referencing the Saint Beasts of Asian Lore, yet taking liberties. Bird, Dragon, Reptile, and Tiger. For the game there's a Cobra, Tiger, T-rex, and Peacock. All have a different symbol from commons card like a spade or diamond, ect.
Happiness is replaced with Bonds, Pokemon that evolve through happiness now evolve through Bonds while Umbreon and Espeon are getting items to evolve them. Sylveon is pure normal and levels up through Bonds.
"Darumaka Split-Evolution. Turns into a snowman-looking ape, with little orange spots running down its chest, and its eyebrows are duller flames. Fire/Ice.
The last three Pokemon before the Legendaries are Dark/Electric. They seem to be based on "star life cycles", as the first one is little and star-shaped, the second one is huge and spherical, and the final one is more humanoid with vortex shapes on its body. They look powerful, so I'd guess they fulfill the BST 600 layout
there is a Farfetch'd evolution, but it's pretty disappointing. Farfetch'd doesn't evolve, the LEEK itself grows into a cool sword-leek with a little (\___/) face on the end. Honestly I'm still wondering if the LEEK is a new Pokemon and it's a Mantine-Remoraid situation where Farfetch'ds model incorporates it or what. And then there's odd choices, like Sawk and Throh both seem to get one that look like Fist of the North Star rejects"
Also
"Region is very large, probably the largest thanks to the 3DS extra space, and is indeed based on France, with some of the Scandinavia peninsula located at the top of the map. I'd say the game is decently "open", but there's a solid order of Gyms, but enough side areas that you're not being pushed forward. The most striking thing about the Region from looking at the map is all the rivers flowing through the Region, but don't fret, there's not a lot of required Surfing. Speaking of which, HMs are still in, but none are required to get through the main campaign."
-want farfetch'd "evo" pls
-i want the psuedo-legend dark/electric type line
