Chest Tire vs Knee Jets.
The Jets one is confusing me. Like is it meditating or something like with its legs folded up? Cause it looks like it has actual feet on top of the jets. If it can unfold its feet from the Jets and rotate them it would explain why the Jets would be backwards. Really hope it has real feet cause the rest of the design looks cool.
Seems like you can explore in any place you want. I wonder if there are gyms? If so then that would likely mean you could do them in any order as well. That's pretty exciting actually and could definitely add a lot of replayability to the games.
The potential to do the story in co-op seems pretty exciting as well if they do it right. Ultimately though, I think Game Freak usually has good ideas and poor execution so I'm not letting myself get too excited just yet.
a pokemon game with Coop(in a way)?
what? i am shocked.
also very excited.

I'm putting money on them doing more of a deep dive in a near-future direct. It's pretty much the MO to trickle in information over time for new mainlines.
On that note, can't say I'm huge on the modern art direction, but if executed correctly, co-op could be the biggest game-changer since wi-fi became a thing in Diamond/Pearl. However, that's a VERY big "if", and is yet to be seen.
If I'm not mistaken, the game didn't take co-op play into account, and was tuned as if it was single-player, co-op or otherwise. Wouldn't be surprised if they changed that for SV, or even potentially added content specifically tuned for group play. Plus, LGPE was already a piss-easy game.
So once again, very big if.
Peace is a lie. There is only passion. Through passion I gain strength. Through strength I gain power.
Through power I gain victory. Through victory my chains are broken. The Force shall set me free.

XBC3 Special Edition preorders tomorrow(June 8th):
https://www.gamespot.com/articles/xe.../1100-6500565/
New trailer:
Can't see the steelbook well, but it looks neat. Art looks great on it. I'ma try to get one. Art book looks like same binding as the XBCDE that came with the collectors edition. That is a super nice art book. Wish there was some other stuff in it, but at least what we get is very well presented and high quality.

For most big-name titles, voice acting has become increasingly industry standard, so people have started to have increasing expectations of Pokemon following suit. I remember this being something people called out before Sword and Shield came out as well. Personally, I don't really care either way, and arguably kinda prefer lack of voice acting, but I kinda see where people are coming from on it.
Would be nice to see Mega Evolution come back, but in general, I'd like to see them not have some sort of "borrowed power"-type feature like the last 2 gens had (Z Moves, Dynamax). But I'm not counting on it.
