Double update on Sinnoh games reveals Hidden Moves, Kleavor

The Pokétch is back too, and makes Hidden Moves (HMs) easier to use. Phones exist in ancient Sinnoh as well – perfect for taking photos of Scyther’s new evolution.

    • BDSP look really fun! Love that HM's are incorporated into the Poketch - it'll allow for more team variety now that we don't need an HM slave with us for a majority of our traveling. Not digging the location of the Poketch, but I guess there really is nowhere else to put it lol. Overall really excited for BDSP!

    Legends is still eh to me. I'll still end up picking it up though.

    • No (traditional) HMs means I'm sold on these games now. Thank fucking god, we don't have to waste a move slot on a our Pokemon anymore. I'm so happy they're implementing HMs this way in the way it was with Pokeride in Gen 7. Thank you, ILCA.

    • I love that bidoof is the in canon hm slave now lol

    Something random but something I still can't wrap my head around are kleavor and the rest of the regional evolutions are they considered Gen 4, Gen 8 or Gen 9 Pokémon

    They're gen 8 Pokemon because they debuted in generation 8, but I understand the confusion. Like people being confused as to whether remakes are considered games from the gen they're remaking or the gen they're made in.

    omg the remakes look so cute holy crap lol. I can't get over the chibi people overworld models. I like how true they are staying to the old game, with the HM animations and stuff like that. And the visual style and everything. It really goes to show how far ahead of its time DP was. I just don't think the first gen 3DS was equipped to handle it. I'm glad to see it's getting its moment to shine 15 years later.

    Meanwhile... L:A's graphics continue to disappoint. I'm having a hard time deciding which I want to get now.

    I think it's cute and wholesome too. I am getting used to the chibi look, and honestly think I'll adjust.

    Yeeep, so happy. I had a feeling they'd go the way of not needing an HM Slave.

    I'm glad they went back to Pokérides instead of just ... removing the field obstacles and putting in silly blockades like they usually do.

    I hope this continues into Gen 9.

    Lot of neat little features - looks like BDSP might exceed my expectations.

    I think the HMS change was really smart, I would see a lot of people saying the removal of HMS was the "downfall of Pokémon" but I always thought that was silly especially when a Gen 1 remake had come out with HMS not being a thing.
