Am I the only one who doesn´t buy the "sandstorm is a natural disaster and no weather" thing? I mean, hail is ALSO a natural disaster.

I think it would be possible to see a new Castform form(lol), because that absolutely does not depend on where you obtain it. Tons of old pokemon will receive move updates(and have in the past) despite not being in the Isshu dex, which proves that not being in local pokedex doesn´t mean "no updates".

Kelp August 22nd, 2010 11:32 AM

I don't care how useful/effective it would be, but a sandstorm Castform would be pretty cool. :3

I agree with this, 100%. Let's also recall that Rotom and Giratina obtained new forms in-between games of the same generation, so don't count Castform out quite yet. I'd give it at least a chance, seeing as how GameFreak's been paying attention to some fan requests. They added the new weather monitor, speeding up the battles, so why not adding some new form changes for good old Casty?

I guess you can call Shijika a Shaymin-esque, but at the same time it does have traces of castform in it, too.

Yeah but Shijika keeps that form for a longer period of time unlike Castform, that's one difference.

I just think that with this new Weather System, it would be the perfect opportunity to introduce some more castfroms.

What weather system exactly. I know I've seen it discussed vaguely here (this forums) but I've never seen an announcement on it on Bulbapedia or on Serebii.

There is going to be a Weather Indecator, so when the weather changes, there will be a small icon or something telling you what weather is on field.

Surmonter August 22nd, 2010 5:23 PM

I'm not really surprised about Castform not having a Sandstorm thing because..well..

1. Droughts are actual weather conditions. So Castform has a form for that.
2. Hail/Snow are actual weather conditions. So Castform has a form for that.
3. Rain is a an actual weather condition. So Castform has a form for that.
4. Sandstorms themselves are not actual weather conditions, but they're caused by weather conditions (i.e. windy conditions.)

The fact that Weather Ball turns into rock (or ground, don't remember) in a Sandstorm but Castform doesn't is a huge contradiction on Gamefreak and Nintendo's parts though.

Oh well. Deal with it?

austy14 August 22nd, 2010 6:07 PM

I honestly doubt that all of a sudden castform likes sandstorms and transforms... I mean, if there were new weather conditions I would believe a new form but not to a pre-existing weater condition.

Rain and Snow are byproducts of weather conditions just like Sandstorm. Water evaporates due to heat brought by a clear day that eventually cools off and is pushed around by winds until it has collected enough moisture that the cloud then falls apart and it rains. The Wind is already there and the heat is from a sunny day. Snow is rain but in a colder environment.

A sandstorm may just be sand and dust pushed by wind, but that wind has to be created by a depression in that area, and its not just a wind, its called a sand storm because a storm has to pull the sand with it. There is actual weather involved in it. You can have a storm with no rain, snow or sand. All three are also localized.

austy14 August 22nd, 2010 6:55 PM

Ooh, yes. I would love high winds to be a weather condition, and maybe a "windy" castform.

Ho-Oh August 22nd, 2010 10:28 PM

A wind-based Castform? I like. I can actually sort of imagine that looking something similar to Altaria.

King Gumball August 22nd, 2010 10:54 PM

Sandstorm castform is a no for me. Snow is counted as a weather and sandstorms are caused by weather. I know sandstorms are considered weather in the game and there is sandstorm the move, but it still seems very unlikely IMO.

However there is wind which is a possibility. But what move would make it windy? We have hail and rain dance and sunny day, but no windy move.

dragonite149 August 23rd, 2010 12:33 AM

Castform forms
 
I think it WILL get a new form. Eevee, Porygon, Magmar, Togetic and Electabuzz got new evos in D/P even though they weren't in the regional dex. So even if Castform isn't in the regional dex that doesn't mean it can't get new forms.

King Gumball August 23rd, 2010 12:45 AM

I honestly think that Castfom is replaced by Shijika and Castform will be forgotten. Castform was good at the time but now they have a new form pokemon that changes through seasons not weather. I think they have just moved on

xDaisuke0 August 23rd, 2010 2:00 AM

Fog was annoying because i had to defog it ~_~ I actually used it on my primary flying type and it was such a waste~

But maybe fog could a weather type that could be occured by a move OR by area, except it doesnt cloud up your whole screen. This way it could create another weather effect + not get in your way as for you to use defog.

There should be more weather for castform to have more forms though. But so far, sandstorm and fog could be implemented.

Mirby August 23rd, 2010 2:03 AM

Heck, Fog form could have increased evasion against SP attacks, and Sandstorm form against physical.

I agree with you but I dont think Castform will be forgotten
Its the favourite of many people including me. :)

Zelda August 23rd, 2010 3:07 AM

I honestly don't think it will be the fact that Castform will be forgotten, but the fact that this game seems to leaning towards new. Castform could be replaced by a different pokémon for the new gen, because they might just be trying not to bring back so much of the other pokémon and bring in new ones. They did mention they will be adding in seasonal pokémon so there could be out one that will be like Castform. Yes a copy, but that's just what they do. XD;

Is it possible that we could get new castform changes? sandstorm castform? Thunderstorm castform?

What do you guys think? :o

simply put.. No

why?
spring showers brings may flowers = water form
summer is sunny = fire form
fall though may result in castform being in its plain form or.. this could be where they add a new form but I don't see it happening
winter = ice form

That can't really be used as a reason why Castform will not get anything new, weather changes all the time, heck in England we have blizzards in march.

Ok. Now tell us how Mist is a weather based attack that creates fog on the battle field and lowers the accuracy of all the Pokemon present when Mist prevents Stat reduction for five turns for your team. Explain how they are related now.

Before you call someone out do your freakin homework. Fog and Mist are not the same thing.

"We have just learnt about water up in the air condensing high in the sky to form clouds. However, this moisture can also condense closer to the ground, to form what we know as mist and fog.

But what is the difference between mist and fog? The answer lies in their thickness – and how far we can see through them (ie: the visibility). If we can see less than 1 km through the cloud of water droplets, it is known as fog. If we can see between 1 and 2 km, we call it mist.

Although mist is not as thick as fog, they are both formed in this same way. Mist, however, usually stays closer to the ground and you can see over the top of it. Mist is often seen on autumn mornings when nights get longer and cooler again. This is particularly true in valleys, because cold air sinks down and collects in the valley during the night."

Formed the same way, but are two different things.

Either way, don't call someone else an idiot. Next time, try to control this habit.

Agent Clank August 23rd, 2010 5:27 PM

I don't think Castform will get another form.
I think his evolutions are done.
