Since a new generation typically makes up for the iniquities of the former, I think we'll probably see 120-200 new monsters, some Gen VI and Gen IV mega-evolutions, and new resistances for the Ice type, which has withered into obscurity with the addition of Fairy types.

As someone else said earlier, Hoenn's where we should've gotten a Grass E4, as there were plenty of those in the Hoenn Dex--Ludicolo, Breloom, Vileplume, Bellossom, Roselia, Cradily, Tropius, etc. I would've much rather seen a good Grass E4 instead of Glacia and her Sealeo/Glalie/Sealeo/Glalie/Walrein team, I know that.

Unfortunately, I don't see that happening. IF GF was going to give Ice more resistances, it would've happened when they changed the chart this Gen. Alas, it appears that they want to just shove the type under the rug and forget about it instead of trying to fix it.

OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire March 18th, 2015 2:39 PM

Maybe if they make a sound type they'll make Ice resistant to it in reference to Snowpoint lacking music...Also next Gen we should get a Dragon Eeveelution.


Btw just like Dark was the only post Gen I type that didn't get a gym in it's gen of introduction, Steel is the only one of the three to not have gotten an eeveelution...

Pendraflare March 18th, 2015 4:19 PM

Of the types that Eevee hasn't had an evolution for, I think that Flying would be the next type I could see them going with. And it's not likely that they'll have a Dark-type Gym if they're just gonna give a bunch of Dark-types to the villainous team like they always do.

And a Sound-type? Just imagine that bouncing off icy walls of a cave...

Yeah... I don't see either happening. If either were going to happen, they would've happened this Gen (which introduced both a new type and a new Eeveelution), not the next one. Plus, "Sound Type" just smacks of bad fanfiction (similar to the infamous "Light Type"). I'd rather GF stay away from Pokémon Brown's new types.

That's because Steel wasn't a Special type. All of the Eeveelutions are former Special types (or types that presumably would've been Special, like Fairy), which makes the lack of a Dragon Eeveelution all the more glaring.

Sun March 18th, 2015 5:25 PM

Fairy-type in a sense, is no different than the fanmade Light-type. Sound-type reminded me of the fangame Pokémon Brown version as well, hahaha. XD Sound-type in a sense is like Normal or even Flying-type, given how Flying-type moves are mostly associated with air. As everyone knows noises and sounds travel through air.

I agree with OrAs, there should be a Dragon-type Eevee. Then again, as the other says, GF is less likely making a creating a Dragon Eeveelution, at least not for Gen VII. So far Eeveelutions make their debut on a even numbered generation. A Flying-type and/or even Bug-type are more forseeable in the future generations.

As for Dark-type Gyms, some people stated that Dark in the Japanese versions is 'aku-typu' which can translate as evil type (or other semilar meanings). So people claimed that is why, there isn't any Dark-type Gyms. < I don't buy this though, if that's the case E4 shouldn't include Dark-type in the first place then. :/ A Dark type Gym should be at least placed as the 5th Gym or beyond, given how most Dark-type are strong on the offensive side.

Makes me wonder the standards for Gyms and E4. *cough* Glacia and Candice's Ice types, Flint and his Fire-types, Volkner and his Electrics. Oh and Lenora, why Watchog? Just why? *cough*

The only explanation that explains why GameFreak rarely puts what fans want into Pokemon and why they are so hungry for downgrading is that they like to anger their fanbase and see how much it affects sales.

I mean..seriously. It must make them hard to browse these sites.

I think Fairy IS meant to be our "Light Type" equivalent. Fairy is associated with goodness and love, making it the opposite of Dark (which is associated with evil). The fact that Fairy is strong against Dark is a testament to this.

Creating Eeveelutions for former Physical types before Dragon would be the ultimate slap in the face, IMO. Even Fairy was pushing it.

I've heard that PUSA staff actually browse fan web sites and pages. But then PUSA is uh.. PUSA, I believe they aren't led by Masuda like the main one from Japan. Thus PUSA has no direct influence to the games' planning and creation. If there are any influence from PUSA, it's just the dubbing, translating and marketing part.

Or... Are they perhaps leaning towards the Japanese fans? Since most of the stuff began there. Just look how they are favoring the fans there, Arceus, Keldeo, Victini, etc are all distributed on their Gen VI games. Just my two cents.

For some unknown reasons, heated opinions within the fandom such as Battle Frontier in OrAs but a copy-paste Maison from XY showed up, 'Light-type' didn't surface but Fairy-type instead, Mega Milotic for OrAs didn't make its debut but a Mega Audino is given instead (lol), No Dark-type Gyms since the type's debut while Fairy got its own when it made its first appearance, etc.

You have to wonder of they are trolling the fans, or if the Japanese community actually represents the whole fandom and have a different opinion to the global, thus eventually affecting the development.

P.S. Not hating on Japan/Japanese, I love them. Hopefully my words didn't give a wrong impression.

Yeah, but Steel was introduced in Gen II, where the special only wasn't so entrenched, so they could've made one.

Who knows, GF may reset the timeline again so I rather they introduce a new type that has existed for awhile, rather than for the discovery be unexplained like Dark's... Also using your logic a Dragon Eeveelution (Dragon vs Fairy fits the pattern of like Grass vs Ice, Psychic vs Dark (more so this one), Fire vs Water Vs Electric) didn't happen this Gen then like the Sound type it shouldn't happen any time soon.

I think GF has always favored the Japanese fandom to an extent. Just look at Celebi and the GB Mobile Adapter being JP-exclusive all the way back in Crystal, or even them remaking the JP-exclusive Red and Green instead of the RBY that most of the world got. This stuff's been going on for ages.

Outside of GF being a Japanese company, themselves, I think one reason for this is the fact that Pokémania never really died in Japan like it did in the West. Even when the games were at their lowest point in popularity overseas (Gen 3), they were still hugely popular among kids in Japan, and even pre/teens who played the games didn't face the same social stigma as their Western counterparts. At that time, it literally made financial sense to cater to Japan over everyone else.

Nowadays, though, the franchise has seen a mini-resurgence in the West, while it has started to (slightly) taper off in Japan, so we'll see if that has any impact on GF's decisions in the coming years.

It's odd how GF seems so resistant to giving Eevee a Dragon evolution. I mean, we're talking about one of the most popular types and most popular Pokémon, so the marketing possibilities, alone, should be endless with a Dragon Eevee.

Although, it's a possibility that they want Dragon to mostly be the home of large, powerful (and also highly marketable) "badass" Pokémon like Garchomp, Haxorus, Hydreigon, and the Box Legendaries, which an Eeveelution obviously wouldn't fit, but how do you explain the likes of Dragalge and Goodra, then? (The latter of whom I would've happily exchanged for a Dragon Eeveelution. It's past time for another type to be a Pseudo-Legend.)

That has something to do with the Japanese culture, most Japanese remain dedicated to those stuff that they like. That is why it is not strange to see Japanese women in their 20s, 30s, 40s and even 50s with Hello Kitty and other Sanrio franchise. That explains why Pokémon remains popular and loved there.

C'mon, there's Altaria and even Dragonite from the very first Generation. -3- That reason is not acceptable for the lack of Dragon-type Eeveelution.

Like Makoto says there are cute Dragons like Dragonite, Altaria, plus there's Goodra. So there is little reason for GF not to make one, plus eeveelutions are highly marketable, just look at Sylveon and XY stuff pre-release. It did take GF three gens to make the highly anticipated grass eeveelution...so perhaps next Gen we'll get our even more anticipated Dragon eeveelution. Btw this Gen having one eeveelution changes how eeveelutions may be handled from now on. It's possible GF made a Dragon eeveelution already but saved it for Gen VII for marketing purposes...

Also as for FRLG over FRWB being chosen according to them it was because Fire and Water seems more war like compared to Fire and Leaf. I actually think I get them now after writing in a story I'm working on about how while water nurtures wood (grass), wood feeds fire, but water simply destroys fire, gaining nothing from it at all. Of course that may just be an excuse like no liking the BF anymore so why not cut it off from ORAS, yet still hint at it to iritate fans...

Yeah, there's less of a stigma attached to adults liking "kids stuff" in Japan than there is in the West. Plus, I think the Japanese fans tend to like more "cute" Pokémon (like Pikachu), while Western fans are more into "badass" Pokémon (like Charizard) and are more obsessed with the battling aspect of the games, in general. (See, for example, Origins getting more hype and higher ratings overseas than it did in Japan. Western fans loved the darker, more serious tone and heavy focus on Charizard, while Japanese fans were mostly bored with it. Like I was.)

Altaria and especially, Dragonite were made before the Dragon Type was turned into a marketing tool for little boys and competitive meatheads (ie. the DS era). And, even back then, I remember a ton of fanboys complained about Dragonite not being "cool" enough to be a real Dragon and wished Charizard and Gyarados had the type, instead. :rolleyes2:

We can only hope that is the case. It would be outright trollish for Dragon to just get ignored like that.

Yeah, they pulled out some BS cultural excuse (one only needs to look at California right now to know that fire and plants can very much cause "war"), completely forgetting that most people would've preferred getting WaterBlue over LeafGreen simply because Blue was the game they originally got. :rolleyes2:

I wonder what percent of the fanbase is from Japan compared to overseas...at least at the time of Gen I. Well it's more of an elemental harmony thing, also no need to insult one's culture 0_o...

Anyways on topic I'll like to see Torkoal get the Roselia treatment in Gen VII. I hope GF realizes that (some) fans still want some normal evos to old mons.

I hope that normal evos aren't dead, but unfortunately, they may be and not because of Megas. Giving new evolutions to Pokémon that can't already evolve would require retconning the Eviolite item, and GF seems to hate those kinds of retcons. (See, Eevee needing a Mossy Rock instead of a Leaf Stone to become Leafeon.)

Of course, Eviolite was partially created in the first place because of the negative reaction many of Gen 4's new evos got. A lot of people wanted a reason to continue using Rhydon over Rhyperior or Electabuzz over Electivire, and Eviolite gave them one. Megas also seem to be a reaction to that as well, buffing underpowered Pokémon to more "competitive" levels without being a permanent form change (unlike the Gen 4 evos).

Pendraflare March 20th, 2015 9:53 AM

There weren't many of the Generation IV evolutions that I didn't like; some of them changed their stats in ways that made them a lot different - Electabuzz for one got an evolution that made it orient more towards the Attack, and Rhydon got one with an ability that lowers super-effective damage. Some of them didn't change much, but I think they were satisfactory.

I guess that's true...but if they do an alternate timeline next gen they could include a evolite change too, like in the new Timeline Jynx isn't the final evolution of Smoochum's line,etc.

At this point, I really want them to do a hard reset and actually retcon things like that. I still want all of Eevee's evolutions to use stones. :P

I wonder how that'll be if done. I have in mind that they could have the fossil scientist tell us how the region was created long ago by three very ancient but now extinct Pokémon. Later we'll find one and we will need to fetch the scientist (either call, or go back) for him to revive it, but we'll need some crystal or something to power the fossil reviver to work on the legend. Once we do that it can be revived then cue cutscene and battle. Such a trio would fit a region based on Australia (oldest known rocks are from there), or China (a lot of dinosaur fossils are being unearthed), could also be another place...after all Kyushu- Judaism and US-Taoism are odd couples. One of them could be an ancient shark, another a pterosaur or insect, third can be a dinosaur of some kind. Or maybe an amphibian, a bird like dino, and a land whale that is losing it's legs inbetween of sea-land, land-sky, land-sea.

Cerberus87 March 20th, 2015 7:55 PM

The only things I'm more or less sure about:

- The Strange Souvenir will play a part.
- Mega Evolution is here to stay. Sorry, Mega Evolution haters, but they'll NEVER leave the other starters with nothing.
- It will be compatible with the Pokémon Bank.

i was thinking that a common bird, fish, and land type Pokemon such as like a ratata, pidgey, magikarp can hold it by chance. almost the level of a shiny. having high chance of running away too. once the fossil is obtained, it can be revived and goes for a battle in order to obtain it.


but now that i think about it, i would like a insect legendary.

Pendraflare March 21st, 2015 6:26 AM

^ Me too, we've seen legendary Pokémon of all sorts of types but nothing based off an insect to my recollection. Volcarona doesn't really count but it's one quite a few people call legendary, even though it isn't.

As for Mega Evolution like Cerberus said, it's not likely they're going to abandon that either.

So Genesect is not an insect (I tend to get the bug vs insect confused)?

Speaking about removing stuff Sugimori mentioned how they wanted Gen VII to be simpiler. Some are taking it to mean that they may remove some features (over simply just making the Pokemon have less stuff added to them like say spikes on Mega Garchomp). Now if he did mean that they will go to more simpiler mechanics I wonder what they will take away. Mega Evolution is quite simple (though I wish it was more elaborate than just press the button on the bottom of the screen...) so I don't think they will remove it. Maybe they will retire some useless moves like Splash, as well as retire moves that are the same type, use the same stat, and have the same effects as another.
