Type: Null. Type: Normal. I see no possibility for confusion here.

Still haven't seen a single thing that would make me want to buy the new generation. In previous generations there'd be a brand new region to explore, with wilderness and secret places and a bunch of evil dudes with legit motives and such, but Alola seems like it's just all one big theme park, with various attractions ("ISLAND KAHUNA RIDE!", "ARE YOU BRAVE ENOUGH TO ENTER THIS TALL GRASS?", "STAND HERE FOR QUICKTIME LEGENDARY ACHIEVEMENTS!", "LACK OF FRUSTRATION GUARANTEED BY LACK OF CHALLENGE") and a bunch of actors disguised as generic villains.

I hope the Aether Foundation are secretly the real villains, that would mean that there is still hope for the quality of future generations of Pokemon.

Compilation of website info.

Sounds like Type:Null is he result of an attempt to make an artificial legendary from scratch?

[neotemplar]

Null type=transfer missingno from gen1 confirmed? Oh i hope so.

@MagmaMcFry
Well, to each their own obviously... What I'm seeing is them trying to break the mold of the previous... like, 16? games and take the game in directions it hasn't been before. A lot of creativity and experimental new features being thrown at the wall from a series that has always run the risk of stagnating. Also some of the best Pokémon designs since... ever. But YMMV on that obviously. Of course, nobody knows what it'll be like until it's out, but everything I've seen has made me feel really positive about it.
(Glad I'm not the only one who's first thought upon seeing Aether was "possibly secret villains" though.)

...That said, I have really mixed feelings on the time difference thing. On one hand I think it's a really interesting and daring feature to introduce... On the other hand, I'm morally obligated to choose moon because of the moonbat, but I've always found playing my Pokémon games at night to be kind of dim and depressing, and given the chance I'd try to play them during times when it was daylight in the game. Hmm. :/
Hopefully they'll take that into consideration though and try to make the areas as exciting and visually appealing at night as they are during the day.

My thoughts on Type: Null are that it's great and I can't wait to rub its belly and feed it cupcakes.

[Furtuka]

So hows about that Jellyfish that's totally definitely not related to Lillie absolutely at all clearly

[Elephant Parade]

Kinda curious what's going on with the Aether Foundation. That one ridiculously shady dude makes me think that it's in league with Team Skull, but I dunno.

Or maybe we're going to get the ultimate stupid twist: Team Skull are actually the good guys, and the Aether Foundation is pure evil.

Or maybe we're going to get the ultimate stupid twist: Team Skull are actually the good guys, and the Aether Foundation is pure evil.

If it's anything like the previous games then its:

1. Team skull is the midboss
2. Aether is the endboss

[Nighthawk]

I like how he gets this terrifying eye-glow, but his eyes don't actually open.

I'm assuming his eyelashes became briefly phosphorescent or something.

Spoiler: It's to hold back the hyper beams (click to show/hide)

So... Snorlax is Cyclops from X-Men?

[Akura]

I was going to ask if Brock was Cyclops, but you beat me to that punch.

Team Aether Foundation looks ridiculous - moreso than previous groups in the series. The hell is wrong with their leader's hair? Faba looks like someone who is going to stab everyone in the back. And for Wicke, it looks like they couldn't find a uniform large enough to hold her breasts, so they just gave her a sweater to wear under it(sweater in Hawaii?). And all of them, including Faba, are wearing high heels.

It looks like the Pokemon Snap! photography minigame is going to be difficult, since the trailer clearly shows that the 3DS can't handle it without slowdown.

[Tawa]

I'm not the only one who thinks the employees of the Aetherwagon Foundation look like children, right?

[Akura]

They seem like young adults to me. The girl teaming up with Faba in the trailer is as tall as he is.

Then again, they never do seem to portray age right.

[Cerol Lenslens]

So, Alola Raticate...

Spoiler: He kinda reminds me of someone... (click to show/hide)

I'm naming mine Poké Minsch.

[misko27]

Spooky artificial pokemon might have something to do with the spooky people who have an artificial island.

[Furtuka]

The new Japanese trailer has a heck of a lot more footage.
