>8 gems
>8 power ups/abilities
What will each gem do, /vp/?
>>26646066
Doesn't it seem more intuitive that this is where the gym badges would go?
8 gyms. One gem for each gym
>>26646078
That would be strangely odd seeing as it's a brace;et that clearly stands out and matches something similar to a mega ring.
Also, both the male and female trainers have a different colored gem
>>26646066
The same shit as orbs?
>>26646066
>Yellow Gem: Revive entire team
>Blue Gem: Boost teams defense stats immensely
>Red Gem: Highly boost Attack stats for your team
>Rainbow Gem: Mega Evolve
>Green Gem: Heal All
>Orange Gem: Activate Duel type moves for entire team
>White Gem: Increase type resistance for team
>Black Gem: Revert back to a previous turn

I like this
HMs? Or gym badges.
Did somebody say Gems?
It's a GPS
>>26646512
Holy fuck, Owain got hot in between games.
It holds gym badges. Like this
>>26646526
Nah, Rotom already allows this in the over world. The bracelet is an obvious battle mechanic
>>26646512
AND STEEEVEEEEEEN
>>26646066
Nothing by themselves. But with all 8, you can enter the finals of Duelist Kingdom.
>>26646526
Actually, this makes sense, especially when you realize the color of the icon in the screen.
>>26646078
>>26646094
>>26646503
>>26646580
That would be really fucking lame
>>26646512
Taric pokemon when?
>>26646066
They will make the game even easier.
>>26646828
Maybe it could be on a timer, and only one gem can be used per battle

AMETHYST
>>26646997
AND PEARL
>>26647018
And STEVEN
I think it activates syncro. One gem for each team member and the 8th one could just be for normal mega evolution.
>>26647044
What this guy >>26646828 said
Also, 6 synchronization gems, 1 mega evolution gem, that's 7 anon. What's the 8th gonna do?
>>26647069
Idk. Mabye a revive or somethingunless it's for rotom
>>26646078
Badges have always been distinct from one another, this would literally mean that the badges are nothing more than small boring diamonds. Why would you want that?
>>26646066
It just looks like a design choice. I doubt it's really for anything other than looks.
I think is going to be related with the history, like, Kukui tells you need this for entering in some places or something. (More story-related than gameplay-related)
>>26647279
Pretty much this
>>26647321
>8 gems
>8 pedestals
HOLY FUCK
>>26647354
Are there actually 8 pedestals? Can you post the map with them all marked?
>>26647376
No I was referring to this specific location alone.
What I should've said was there are 8 SLABS surrounding the circle. The 8 gems could be acquired through temples or through other NPC's. I was just implying that the pic related could be where you put them for some type of event
GEN 8 CONFIRMED
>>26647431
Oh okay. Still a cool idea. Would love to see it implemented.
>>26647279
Weren't the Orange Island badges pretty similar? Maybe it's a tropical thing.
>>26646066
>8 gems
Someone explain please
>>26647376
>>26647528
How do you get such high resolution images of the map? I feel like a dumb ass, but it seems like the only way for me to get zoomed in shots is to use shitty crop and paint

>>26647496
They were all very distinctly different types of shells man
>>26647528
That's one PEDESTAL and 8 slabs standing upright. You have to be able to stand on a fucking pedestal retard.
>>26647507
In OP's image, there are 8 molds (including the one on top) on the bracelet, that bear the shape of diamonds. Which leads to my theory >>26646171
>>26647562
There exist high res versions of the islands separated.
>>26647566
I'm fairly certain >>26647354
>>26647431 mean't slabs and not pedestals, but okay
>>26647562

>>26647611
Yes, which he explained and even said he could have been more clear in a response to me. At which point it was done. Either way those aren't pedestals and he was saying 8 pedestals, so before he corrected himself I was hoping he actually saw more and simply only posted the picture of the first one he saw or something.
>>26647633
>>26647431 here, and >>26647528 isn't me
Case closed
>>26647431
Or they could be badges and this is the entrance to victory road.
>>26647812
>Water surrounds the platform
>Underwater Victory Road
>IGN gets pissed again
Maybe it's 7 gems. It's hard to tell from the angle, but the bottom slot looks a bit different. I think the keystone goes in that one.
>>26647917
Maybe the bottom is the keystone and the gems are just the pokeballs now? Pokegems confirmed folks gg
>>26647998
>1 mega stone
>7 Pokeballs
Wouldn't work fahm
Oh and also, you know, the Pokeballs being thrown in the trailers
>>26648029
The top gem is rotom, the 7th member of your team.
>also it was meant to be a joke
>>26646526
This. It has the same yellow thing and white arrow as the icon on Rotom. Plus they're both pointing in the same direction.
>>26648104
>The top gem is rotom
I-I don't get it. Yes the color matches your player's marker on the mini map, and the bracelet has an arrow on it. But how is Rotom the "gem"? What exactly is the blue gem on the female's bracelet, then?
>>26648142
The colour doesn't signify anything
>>26646066
Use HMs w/o teaching them to your Pokemon.
Dude! Guys! Would if the gems replace HMs, and you get one from the gym.
>>26648506
>>26646066
>He doesn't know that this gen will only have 4 gyms ala orange islands.
>>26648506
>>26648613
>>26648142
Blue for wash rotom. The map marker is trying to tell her where she belongs.
>>26647301
You don't really believe that, right?
>>26647279
They're actually some kind of techno-bullshit storage crystals. The real badge is a hologram stored inside.
>>26646094
What if since there's 8 they're for hms? One for each gym and then you can just pull up a quick menu and use one if you have a Pokemon that's able to use it in your party
you have to collect the 7 other chaos emeralds to become super trainer
the lati@s flying is replace with your golden trainer flying around the islands
