Pokémon VG Megathread

But those are... new to the last generation... Like I don't even know those. Hmph. So Spinda is the only Pokemon with pattern/palette variants before the last generation? Unknown were shape variants, which is not what I was thinking of... I was sure there was at least one other Pokemon from earlier generations which had such differences between each other.

Arbok, Burmy/Wormadam, and Deerling/Sawsbuck are ones I can think of.

add mantyke and castform.

[sir dooble]

add mantyke and castform.

Castform and Deerling/Sawsbuck are a bit different, I dare say, as their pallette/form changes are entirely due to their environment, such as the weather or season. (on that note, are there seasons in X and Y? I hadnt noticed them. If there arent, how does Deerling's form change work?)

In other form/pallette changes there are also the item variations, like Arceus with Plates, or Giratina in the Distortion World, Rotom after touching items or Shaymin with a Gracidea flower.

Giratina, Rotom and Shaymin are big sprite changes  (with Rotom and Shaymin even changing type), but I think Arceus is just a colour change, and so is Genesect too.

I dont know what the specific reasons were for removing hidden bases, but it was probably to do with wanting to focus development on other locations.
As I recall the Hidden Bases in Gen 3 required  you to cable-link to share them with others (if it was even possible to have friends play in them) and that didnt make it an easy feature to share.
In gen 4 it was better in the Sinnoh underground, but it only worked through local console-to-console wireless connection, which made it limited when you didnt have other friends nearby with the game.
They could have reimplemented it in Gen 5 but it would face the same issues as Gen 4 being on the DS system, which didn't have great online access/play.
They couldve brought it back for Gen 6 as online play is much better on the 3DS, but the logistics of fitting it in might have made it difficult, and working out how best to make it online may have been an issue. It's also just arguably not worth their time to try programming it in. It was nice, but perhaps there's not much call for it.

Damn... The worst part is I've since lost my cartridges of the games to continue. ROMing them would just be cheating to get to a point I could mess with them, which obviously isn't as fun. They were interesting to mess with. Some had holes in the floor which you could patch with objects, so it wasn't just decorating - You'd be expanding your bases based on objects you get. More access. It's like you found a house and made it homely (good way).

Arbok, Burmy/Wormadam, and Deerling/Sawsbuck are ones I can think of.

Strange, I thought there were more.

[Regulith]

There's an interesting mechanic that was introduced this generation that I haven't heard about until now; wild battle items that appear on the battlefield instead of in possession of the wild Pokemon

You may have seen certain objects appear behind the wild Pokemon, such as trees or suspicious-looking rocks, that in reality can give you an item if you use a certain move in battle

Serebii has a list of where these items can be found as well as what moves you can use to retrieve the item here

[sir dooble]

That's a really weird and cool feature.

It's not mentioned anywhere in the game?
'Cause I'd have probably never have worked that out without getting it by random chance.

[Reficul]

thats actually really neat


and yeah, i think slyveon is stupid looking

I've talked to most if not all NPCs and it was never mentioned

Strange considering there's usually someone in a house somewhere to explain every little thing in the game

[Ticonderoga]

What. I love sylveon...
