I'm sure someone will post all the QR codes somewhere on the internet.I don't like having to use the QR to find the habitat.

I really dont want them to implement a QR code way of getting the Pokemon. It seems inevitable, so I guess now I can only hope for that feature just being a small add on and not something essential. Also, if it is not longer necessary to traverse through the tall grass to advance in the game, well let's just say there will be dark days ahead... Fortunately I don't think that will happen. And I like the name "sassy rotom". It would probably complete my life (not actually) if the rotomdex was similar to the core guides in the portal series. The obvious exception would be that I wouldn't want them to turn against me and try to kill me, lol. Although that would be an interesting twist. JkNo but what I saw was that the QR code thing gives you an in-depth map of the route, and shows EXACTLY where the pokemon can be found, because it seems that each patch of grass could actually contain different pokemon. Looking at the Pokedex/Sassy Rotom, it seems like the habitat feature is gone, and so to actually catch 'em all, you have to find these QR codes so you can figure out where to get the pokemon you wan
Did anyone else see that the grass seems out of the way, and it doesn't seem like you have to fight wild pokemon to move on through a route
We don't know if Sassy Rotom can be used in battle yet, but it would be pretty weird, because traditionally you get the pokedex at the beginning, so you would basically start with a rotom, already in a form, and a starter
no did you see the maps and gameplay tho, the grass is off to the sideI really dont want them to implement a QR code way of getting the Pokemon.

Yeah, I kinda get that vibe from it. It says " hey there, easy on the goods" and "Its a whole new way for people and pokemon to communicate...yay.(sarcasm implied)"Since Rotom dex is mentioned in the trailer to be a new way for people and Pokemon to communicate, it'd be hilarious if it could act as a really rude "translator" of sorts for 'mons you encounter as a side thing. Like some goofy Hey You Pikachu sort of nonsense, lol. That'd certainly be an entertaining endgame activity.
I was about to correct you on Lugia's speed- and then I checked it. It's actually 110 base speed. After all this time dabbling in Ubers, I had no idea it was that fast.I don't think Lunala is gonna be THAT fast; the fastest a cover legend has ever been is Lugia at 110 iirc, (not counting Mega Rayquaza.) That said, if Game Freak were to change things up, I'd be down.
And with all that speed, it's a defensive Pokemon (which is alright, means it's most likely to pull off a Roost before getting attacked and can set up screens and/or Tailwind).I was about to correct you on Lugia's speed- and then I checked it.

It's as fast as the Lati twins, faster than Rayquaza... What the hell?
I don't know why but I get the feeling that X&Y's character customization won't come back. Game Freak has the habit of keeping certain special features exclusive to their debut region: Hoenn's Secret Bases, Unova's Dream World and Sinnoh's Underground to name a few. I think we'll be allowed to choose our skin tone and that's it. Hell, the very fact we haven't heard anything about Mega Evolution yet makes me fearful that they might be dropping it for something else, given that in the artwork you can see something that resembles, but isn't a keystone, wrapped around the male protagonist's wrist.Something I wanted to point out-
In the Japanese trailer we saw some npc's in bikinis. Of course, this is nothing new, as the swimmer trainer class often appears in the similar clothing. In X and Y, the female player could wear a top called the midriff halter top. It was supposed to represent beach wear. Since this is in Hawaii---Known for its beaches, we could see more than just two beach wear clothing. I have to doubt though that Nintendo will allow a 10 yr old avatar to travel across a region in only their undergarments though. What do you think?
Dropping customization is possible (but I really hope it won't be), but dropping Mega Evolution is something I see as absolutely impossible. They're major form changes which essentially means that dropping them is about as bad as dropping entire species. Thus far the only 'form' that has ever been dropped is Spiky-Eared Pichu, which we were told right from the get-go could not be transferred, has a lot of lore reason for that, and is literally just a Pichu with a spiky ear. Dropping Megas is about as likely as dropping Rotom-Wash, Deoxys-Speed or... I dunno, Raticate. It's just not going to happen.I don't know why but I get the feeling that X&Y's character customization won't come back.

I'm probably jumping the gun here and seriously hoping that I am wrong.
I highly doubt they would drop something as big as mega evolution, or even replace it with something like burst evolution. It will be interesting to see what they do, seeing as ash greninja and the item in the Sun and Moon logo appear to add up to another battle mechanic, which I personally think might make the games a bit too "busy" per say. And whereas trainer customization was nice, I don't think it will be the end of the world if it is not included.I don't know why but I get the feeling that X&Y's character customization won't come back.

well, they never stopped using stuff they included within the battle system (the only thing I can think of are maybe the overkill of evolutions of old Pokémon in Gen 2-4 which stopped in Gen 5 and didn't get a boost in Gen 6 except for Sylveon [and the megas *cough*]).I highly doubt they would drop something as big as mega evolution, or even replace it with something like burst evolution.

We have already seen it, the clothes changed a little bit in the 1st trailer. It wasn't really the exclusive thing for Kalos, as it is only there so the player can express themselves better.I don't know why but I get the feeling that X&Y's character customization won't come back.

how can you guarantee that?guarantee that these legendaries change forms or something
That may be true, but Nintendo has been shaking it up recently, and I don't know if we can believe that. Even if the types are finally making more sense, they feel counterintuitive to a degree, and so a form change could allow them to regain the types that they "should've" hadEven if they do, no legendary has changed form within their game of origin (barring Xerneas' "active" and "dormant" forms). It usually takes until the next game or a remake until they get some snazzy new power up.
There isnt anything suggesting they change formes. Considering most of the legendaries don't, and the ones that can are mostly Mythical Pokemon, there isnt a ton of reason to expect them to unless there are hints at it.guarantee that these legendaries change forms or something

Also on the mega evolution thing not possibly being in SuMo: I would like to chime in that Triple and Rotation Battles are still a thing, despite not being seen much in the main part of the game. (Granted, I can, and kinda hope to, see them removing Sky Battles in SuMo.) If I had to guess the Keystones in Alola look different than those in Kalos/Hoenn.
