  • I think the dragon in the tower is just part of the tower. Maybe based on a new Pokémon.

    But anyway, so many cool details!

  • Are they the logos of various sponsors [Leon] has earnt? Maybe that means he's rich, too.
    he looks like he spends all his money on snapback hats, he's probably broke and always looking for more sponsors.

    Yeah, it does seem more like a building structure, but placing what it looks like is harder...

    Haha, hats can be darn expensive in Pokemon games, so this seems valid.

  • I was discussing with a friend last night about how cool it was to essentially bike on water. @__@

    It does make me wonder how HMs are going to be handled this time around.

  • That mysterious dragon-like statue does look a bit like Charizard's head on a chess piece or something! Interesting.

    Am especially excited about the possibilities of my cute little chipmunk. \o/

    The serebii site introduces a purpley squirrel pokemon seen in the crowd.. Pachirisu has a friend, now...

    Also.. pokemon in the crowd kept repeating ...munchlax, riolu, pikachu, eevee, vulpix... i wonder if there is a significance with them?

    I am hoping for eeveelution

    besides that.. did you see the stylish leather jacket with metal studs on the one girl player? it looks like some cool outfit choices are coming.

    I think it's just to make their work easier, so they copy and paste the same Pokémon across the giant stadium to fill up space haha. But who knows?? You can tell many of the people in the audience are copy and pasted too, some of them positioned a bit differently or mirrored.

    Wow, when I made that post I completely forgot that I basically spent all my money in XY on fashion.

    I have no right to be criticizing Leon. 🤐

  • ...Is it just me, or does the hat on the 3rd trainer from the left in the raid battle scene look like it has ears? 🤔 You know, like the Pangoro hat from X and Y; but it doesn't look like a Pangoro, or any existing Pokemon...OoooOOOOooo

The stadium crowd is pumped, the energy palpable as their screams threaten to lift the roof right off the building. Cameramen and reporters rush, hoping to get to his side before he is engulfed by a tidal wave of fans.

    "Leon, Champion Leon! That was an amazing battle!" One manages to reach him before the rest. "Do you have anything to say?" She points the microphone in his direction as everyone eagerly awaits his response.

    Also, is that potentially the DynamaX "X" on the male MC's Poké Ball symbol on his red shirt? What about Velcian's shoulder? And stretching a little, Leon's boots? Hm…
