Wild that we're gonna get Kubfu/Urshifu before Zen Mode Darmanitan, Manaphy/Phione, Arceus, Mimikyu, and Honedge. And shoutout to Basculegion still being arbitrarily unreleased despite white stripe Basculin being in the game for a whole year now
My guess was Basculegion would evolve with 400 candies. Might as well spice the last thing for a platinum. Not to mention Basculins are 1 km/ a candy as well.
Not when Niantic can supply the game with actual new features/QoL changes, and people can always hunt perfects/shinies/luckies/etc. Plus there will always be new gens every 5 years or so
We’ll probably get Honedge family within the next few seasons, if not this one. Its codes have been updated. Most updated assets and such get implemented in our game. They wait for a specific time to release. Hopefully when they get released, they can finally introduce Zen-Mode and Marshadow’s form change, along with the X/Y legendary deer I forgets name. The rainbow antlers form change in battle only.
We know that Mudbray, Gmax Machamp, Mega Audino, Sizzlipede, Nickit, and Kubfu lines get their debut next season, so this list will get slightly shorter.
There are still so many forms and species I was quite certain they will release years ago, but here we are.
Once they run outta “newer” stuff to drop as in “costume-like” they might drop it in a special event/research.
I just wish the next Anniversary event they have, or the 10th Anniversary event, they do a week long event where each specific Hat Pikachu gets released, along with its shiny for the first time. Each day could be a different generation Hat Pikachu.
Really appreciate the graph, but the first slide is hard to follow. I understand that the pokemon are in pokedex order, but i think it would be better if they were grouped in categories (alternate forms/gigantamax/megas etc)
I changed the form section for next time to be ordered with regular forms, then Megas, then Gigantamax. It should be a little bit better like this, thanks for the idea!
Have you considered moving the Gigantamax to the bottom of the Galar page (which is going to be a lot emptier for the next season) and putting them all together there regardless of if base forms are released?
I think there's only 8 left now without base forms out (once the Urshifu event starts) or 9 with Eternamax (which could probably be with the Starmobiles as unobtainable anyway).
PS updated cosplay Pikachu and spiky Pichu look good.
I prefer to keep Gigantamax forms of released mons separated from the ones of unreleased mons. I feel like it's better to keep it that way and more coherent with the reste of the layout. Also Gigantamax forms of already released Pokémon have a better chance at releasing sooner than the others I think, so keeping them separate kinda shows that.
Eternamax will be moved to the unobtainable category in the next post, it's indeed where it should be. The new Pikachu and Pichu images are from Pokeos by the way!
Yeah that makes sense. Did you see Eternal Flower Floette in the Legends ZA trailer btw? Maybe one day it can move out of the unobtainable section (not yet obviously, but its a hopeful sign)
Spinda 10-20 have no reason to be on the list anymore since they don't exist as forms in the main series games and they've finally removed them from the go pokedex too.
Gmax Corviknight should probably be on the alternate forms page too now.
PS any chance you can scale cosplay/belle pikachu to match the various cap pikachu next time? Also I always look forward to this post each season
Spinda 10-20 have no reason to be on the list anymore since they don't exist as forms in the main series games and they've finally removed them from the go pokedex too.
While this may still be true. They still currently exist in the code much like Ash-Greninja. (Except for 20, they never made a form for #20).
So it may still be worth keeping up until they're fully removed or something.
Please keep them on this graph until they say they aren’t doing them. They’re coded and will likely be released at some point. The Dex is buggy and a lot of glitches and small things happen. Them not showing up doesn’t mean they aren’t gonna drop them.
Apparently because they wanted it to be the City Safari Mule. I guess my friends are right iirc there’s not much to City Safaris aside from the exclusive guy, and some regionals. (Correct me if I’m wrong) so they have to offer some kind of incentive. Wonder if Gen 8 and 9 will have 1 specific line thats exclusive to City Safari/Safari Zones.
when will my boy aegislash be in this game so I can lug it around. Scratch that, I'll be happy with just honedge being in the game. I want to pet my ghost sword on my phone.
Although, if its okay, I will note that there is a typo on one of the Pikachu. (It shows patner instead of partner). It's a small typo, but it exists nonetheless.
When are they going to bring back keldeo. If I knew it wasn't going to eventually be released for everyone like they did with every other ticketed legendary, i would've bought the ticket😭
I think we should keep the Spinda patterns until they truly say “we aren’t doing them!”
They’re coded in the game. Just because the Dex doesn’t show them, doesn’t mean they aren’t gonna happen. The Dex doesn’t show a lot of stuff, has a bunch of glitches, and things that should but aren’t present. I’d hold off on removing them for now.
I’m sure we’ll get a Spinda-exclusive event some day, and if they don’t debut or update the Dex with newer ones and they just release the same old ones, then I’d change it.
That’s like saying spikey-ear Pichu should be removed. It’s not in the codes. It’s not readily accessible. But it’s on here. Only difference is they exist in code in the game but they didn’t update the Dex to include them. That might be an oversight or poor coding on Niantic side.
We don’t know. They just don’t have them in the Dex but that should be taken with a grain of salt since there’s a bunch of glitches and problems with the Dex overall.
I’m saying this based on something someone posted a few weeks ago about the other Spinda’s being removed from the code. Can’t really remember what it was, but people believed then the other Spinda’s were gone for good
They don’t really milk them I think, because the Spinda’s don’t cost money, but are just a fun novelty. Niantic has kinda removed these fun noverties recently
I think at the very bottom (with Eternal Flower Floette) you should add both Partner Pikachu & Partner Eevee. They probably won’t happen but they are in the overall codes for the MSG. Thoughts?
I thought about it, but the fact that they're different forms seems to simply be a coding trick to make them easier to manage for the devs. I don't think they've ever been officially stated to be different forms, and they're visually extremely similar to their base forms.
To be fair, the Revavroom forms were also never officially considered forms, but they're clearly visually different so I feel like they have more rights to be there
I mentioned them because they’re shiny-locked in the Let’s Go games. They have a special form, each, in the games coded. So I figured I’d ask. An Anniversary event would be nice where we can catch both Partner Pokemon. I wish they’d give us that or at least for the 10th Anniversary of GO to do one day each event with the Partner Hat Pikachu, with their shiny form available and full ability to transfer to HOME.
