News: Z-Moves are here!

[MegaKuriboh]

I'm getting really sick of people comparing Pokemon to Yokai Watch and Digimon. Yokai Watch pretty much ripped off Pokemon in the first place so they can't say anything about it. Either way they're all pretty similar games anyways of course they're gonna have similarities.

Digimon is not that similar tho. It first started with raising your own Digimon, then later moved to RPG style for Story and some World games to come back to Digimon Raising. The Raising has no levels tied to them tho.

Yokai Watch is maybe the only one that is borderline and also it's taking in popularity over Pokemon in Japan.

I'm really up for this new feature "Z-Moves". I think that's huge change on the battle gameplay of Pokemon series. The only thing that I don't get is that...

why u gotta do a little dance thing before u do da thing lol

I just don't get that, honestly.

Pikachu's Z-Move is probably the most adorable thing I've ever seen in my life, while Eevee's Z-Move is so cool, he calls up the squad and this singular move gives Eevee an insane boost, i really hope this means it gets some good use in Battles.

Eevee Z-Move + Baton Pass seems kind of broken.

I remember how I felt about when Z-Moves were first revealed and the possibility that it meant Megas are no longer a thing, but now I'm actually loving the Z-Moves due to all the awesome animations which is making me actually wanting to use them a lot in my future playthrough.

You know, Eevee's Z-Move had me thinking. What if Ash-Greninja happens to be its Z-Move that changes its form? We now know that Z-Moves aren't always attacking moves; they can also be stat-boosting moves, so a form-changing move doesn't sound too farfetched at this point.

I also do believe it's far too late to announce something like Ash-Greninja right as X/Y is about to end; it would be impractical timing because Ash-Greninja has basically no ties with Alola at all.

Neither were Zygarde's forms, who were also once thought to be anime-exclusive like Ash-Greninja, before they were revealed to be in Sun and Moon (though their role to the story is currently unknown).

And Zygarde Complete form was in the latest Movie I think.

Unless they do a reveal in October, I really can't see Ash-Greninja being a thing in Sun & Moon. Zygarde forms make sense, but Ash-Greninja seems more of a stretch to something that they would just throw in for some extra content.

On another note relating to Z-moves, I think Eevee wins the contest for best Z-move animation. Hurling Pikachu is a close second, but that animation with all the eeveelutions is just awesome!

 

[Hikamaru]

I really want to see the animations for all of the Z-moves and see what they're like. ^__^

Same with me. Those new Eevee and Pikachu Z-Moves have to be my faves of the ones we've seen so far, and that makes me imagine all the other epic animations we could get for certain Pokemon-specific Z-Moves.
