    Hey post game story stuff
    So the entire staff and faculty of the school resigned last year after the Team Star debacle?

    Why did our mom send us to this school? It fully collapsed and you have no idea what's going on now.

    That's why they have the treasure hunt, they want to get all the kids out of the school in order to actually come up with the curriculum for next year.

    There's no way they have any accreditation

    Grass should resist Fairy, that's my only type chart wish.

    Considering fairies have a supernatural power over nature, I'm not sure how that one would fit the theme that the rest of the typing does.

    the thing is, you can take classes just fine, and most of them are good (the languages class is "we got a guy who can speak multiple languages and he's just gonna throw 'em in at random") and the nurse is taking an exam to be certified as a health teacher

    so like...they turned things around quick

    Fairys don't want to hurt nature and subconsciously hold back.

    Also, it's strongly implied that you moved from Galar just recently and may never have heard about it, but I don't think it's ever elaborated on what the Director was talking about to the protagonist's mum in the beginning. He may have been giving reassurances as PR.

    Operation starfall is really the game wanting you to make some bullied kids day worse isn't it ?

    not...really! I don't know if you've finished the plotline, but:
    it's about the director of the school realizing the school dropped the ball and recognizing that the kids did nothing wrong

    And also!
    The big boss of Team Star fears that they (the team) became the very bullies they sought to stop.

    Good grief, the voice work in this trailer convinces me even more this is Nintendo going "We want our own version of the Lego Movie!" even though they didn't need to do that.

    Outside of Chris Pratt's Mario, I think it looks like a fun movie. I'm guessing that the stake of the Mushroom Kingdom is put up for grabs in a series of challenges as to avoid direct conflict with Bowser's army, hence the platforming training and kart sections. Probably not going to run to the theaters to see it, but I'll give it a go on whatever streaming platform it eventually comes to.

    The first time I saw the trailer, I legitimately thought he said "that's a car" and it confused me until the second viewing.

    The trailer looks like this movie is going to have a ton of locations and stuff from the games (though it'll probably be mostly cameos and "blink and you'll miss it" stuff).

    Big question is what will the inevitable post credit scene be?

    My guess: Rosalina
    My hope: Geno and Smithy
    0 chance in hell: Bowsette

    Man, I just realized there's still no Dragon-type eevelution. C'mon, Game Freak. Just give us a Drakeon already. C'mooooon.

    there's no ghost either

    Eevee's evolutions are all types that were Special before the Physical/Special split (plus Fairy which probably would have been Special if it existed back then). Dragon's the only one left, Ghost was always Physical.

    A new darkness looms over the horizon.

    Mario looks directly at the camera and in a grim voice, states that we need a new TYPE of hero.

    The first trailer set the movie up as more adventure than comedy while the second set it up as more comedy than adventure. I wonder what it'll actually be in the end.

    it's fun to imagine alternate eeveelutions but now that we're in the era of "we're launching with like 400 pokemon and that's it" i don't think i actually want any more. it's a lot of slots locked in to each game and i'd rather more flexibility

    Give eeveelutions the same number of slots but dont let the old ones work anymore

    The cosmic rays make eevee immune to fire stones, but now it can evolve into a bug!

    Edit or just remove all the evolution stones, or at least the old ones. Consign them to the pit of bad evolution ideas

    I'm surprised it's apparently not a mandate to make new ones, considering how much merch they have.

    i also think a fighting eevee should have a bipedal appearance but not for the reasons you think

    when you think about the shape eevee ears, eevee tails usually take, you know what i think there's room for in the eevee line?

    a kangaroo
