Can someone please brainstorm on what in the blue moon that black castle-like thingy in the north is?!
I'm pretty sure that's just the houses and roads making it look like a wall.Anyone noticed mauville city on the map. It looks like it has a wall or something around it. But in the ilustration it looks like some kind of power plant.
I first thought this screenshot was taken at Route 103 where you meet your rival. Than I noticed the Pokémart at the left. So that means this has to be Route 102, with Petalbirg to the west. Okay, you might think.
Your rival never appeared here, instead, it was Wally. Wally caught his Pokemon, serving as the 'catching tutorial'. What the hell is your rival doing here? He/She better just talks a bit and then leaves... I want Wally back!
I want Wally back!
Maybe they had the opposite sex character take the place of Wally for the demo version they may have taken those screenshots from? They're probably saving Wally for later.
So my assumptions / impressions of the trailer:
- The first gym shown is probably Tate & Liza's (it looks very mystical and there are a bunch of Psychics on the floating platforms). The second gym shown could be Flannery's, because it had trap doors, though it could be a redesign of Roxanne's gym.
- Archie looks friggin' nuts!
- Mega Sceptile faces the other way in battle, much like Mawile. I know it's not a big thing, but I just thought it looked neat.
- Not really related to the trailer, but the new Hoenn map does seem to have some peculiar new things on it. Aside from the evil-looking structure that everyone has commented on (Creation trio? Darkrai event?), there seem to be a lot more little islands on the water routes between Lilycove/Mossdeep and Sootopolis and the Battle Tower/Frontier island looks completely empty (though, maybe they didn't want to spoil that yet).
I hope so…
It would make sense though. That means that Steven's Charizard is demo only and the Groudon/Kyogre is also in the demo. Although the latter wasn't a surprise. A trainer having Primal Groudon and Kyogre is so impossible.
Has anybody noticed the black thunder cloud near the right upper corner of the map. Do you guys think it will have anything to do with Zekrom or will it be that they are planing to to do a rainy route?
