So in the trailer, they tease that the game will have a brand new Pokemon in it. From the Japanese press coverage, it sounds like it'll just be one single new Pokemon, so it's probably not a new swathe of Alolan forms, not to mention those don't really count as new Pokemon. So I was wondering what everyone thinks about this!
Personally, I think the most likely candidate is a new Eevee evolution. What better way to introduce it than an Eevee-centric game? But of course, that would depend on whether you can obtain Eevee or Pikachu in the opposite versions, because it would be pretty unfair if only the Eevee version had the new Pokemon. But also, if these games are inspired by Pokemon Yellow and so heavily feature Pikachu/Eevee riding on your arm or head, it seems likely they wouldn't let you evolve them for nostalgia and logistical purposes. So maybe it's not an Eeveelution after all!
If Pikachu wasn't already part of a three-stage evolution chain, I'd almost say the timing would be perfect to follow up on that interview from a few weeks ago and introduce its original final form, Gorochu... ahaha!
Thoughts?
