Good evening everyone and
welcome to The Magical Mystery Blog.
Where….do I even begin with
this new Pokemon information? We’ve already seen the newly released Pokemon,
but let’s examine a few things shall we?
-Riding Pokemon: in a
recent trailer, we’ve seen a trainer riding Pokemon. Each Pokemon was equipped
with a saddle of some sort and the trainer was in a special suit. Hawaii is a
tourist destination wherein people can partake in water and land based
activities like biking and jet skiing. This makes me wonder if riding the
Pokemon is embodying a tourism atmosphere. How the trainer rides Sharpedo is akin
to jet skiing and riding Lapras is like steering a boat. In XY we had to
ride a Pokemon to get through the snow, but in Sun/Moon the land looks smooth
when riding the Tauros and Stoutland. These two Pokemon are so random for a smooth
terrain which makes me wonder, can we ride any Pokemon on land?
-Dancing: in the same
trailer we saw our trainer dance to activate some ability that strengthens a
Pokemon and causes them to unleash a special move. This dancing could be akin
to what is performed at luaus. The abilities of this dance could most likely be
strengthen through Pokemon Amie or encounters with an NPC like Mr.Bonding from
XY.
-Mega Evolution: we have a
new ability to bond with our Pokemon to unleash a powerful move in combat based
on the new bracelet our trainer has. On the one half of the bracelet we see the
stone used to unlock this new feature. On the other side of the bracelet, we
see a little circular slot – this must be where the mega stones must go. Yet so
far, we have no new announced Mega Evolutions, but then again, why would they
include this circular spot?
-Pokemon Amie: in Pokemon
Amie we see a new icon wherein we can groom our Pokemon. This makes me wonder
if we can groom our Pokemon not only to increase their bond with their
trainers, but also for contests as well. Also, if we can groom them does this
mean we can dress them up? #princessgyarados
I feel like Nintendo is
slowly bringing our dream of riding Pokemon to reality through Sun and Moon. I
also feel that they’re not only enhancing the experience for those who always
play these games, but newcomers as well. Nintendo is guiding us into a new
world with a story we’ve always adored and welcoming those to something classic
and wonderful.
Thanks for reading
