jumping the shark
>not Sharpedo surfing everywhere in ORAS
>>27133348
Interesting.
>>27133348
looks way better than high-chair lapras. Why does Lapras need a seat anyway? I can understand Sharpedo because of Rough Skin, but it can even retract that.
>>27134378
Especially since Lapras' Pokedex entry says it is a comfortable ride anyway, so why would such a seat be necessary? I could see some sort of harness for somebody else's Sharpedo, but Lapras are supposed to be gentle and understand human speech/thoughts, so it wouldn't need any.
>>27133348
Really makes you think
>>27133348
Ok, i get it.
>>27133348
Isn't that more jumping with the shark?
>>27134378
>>27134532
Somebody probably wanted to sit in their favourite chair while surfing or something
>>27133348
So this is around the third island, right?
With harnesses like this, I'm starting to think racing Pokémon is a thing, because there's no need for them otherwise, plus the suit when riding on land. Pointless unless you're racing.
Jesus christ, was XY really that much of a tech demo? They even showed a Rhyhorn racetrack and showed it in the anime, called your mother a professional Rhyhorn rider and everything. And it's shafted until the next gen? I get XY was the first game with 3D models, but it's really annoying that Kalos got shafted so hard like this.

Because the generic saddle is a key item that you get that lets you ride pokemon/surf without an HM
>>27134677
I'd be okay with this.
>>27134677
Thank you, Masuda.

You niggers are overthinking it. People still ride horses bareback even though saddles exist.
There's a saddle cause the universe is expanding and adding interesting shit for us.
>>27134677
Change? In MY POKÉMON?!

Are you calling my girlfriend a horse
>>27134677
im ok with this
>gf actually brought back cool features from past(recent)games.
...What's the catch? There has to be a catch.
>>27136364
forced to restart after beating the Champion

>forced to restart after beating the Champion
Okay anon, try again but suggest BAD features this time.
I don't wanna overreact like I did with Gogoat riding in the trailer meaning we can ride pokemon instead of bikes, but here I go. I really hope that each pokemon has a 3d surf animation.
>>27136523
Probably only the bigger ones (but not too big).
The unrealistic ones will probably be a blob again, which is going to suck.
I wish they made it so that you can only surf on big enough Pokémon with their own models. If yours are too small you have a "rental" one that you can call anytime you need (like Soaring, except it's not a legendary). Same for Fly.

Swimsuits?

Please be real

Pokemon is becoming more and more role-play(ey). It's like Dragon Quest or Final Fantasy some shit where we travel in non-uniform direction to towns and such.
>>27136523
It's probably limited again, but judging from the trailer, it makes me feels like it's limited to a FEW areas and not just a single one.
>>27133348
Did noone spot the Porygon hairblower?
>>27136523
they had a few in ORAS so they could expand upon this
On another note.....APRICORNS ARE BACK!!!
>>27140837
I' glad they upgraded Amie. Though I guess why not, since it brings in about half the female buyers.
>>27140907
what did I miss?? I've been gone the last couple days, spoonfeed me
>>27140907
What? Where did you see that?
>>27140971
Go on Serebii. New trailer with that kid from the first.
Just FYI, the term "jumping the shark" Is an idiom that means, basically, the best years are behind them.
>>27140982
My mistake-saw a great ball and thought it was a lure!haha
>>27134677
And it only took 7 generations.
>>27134677
But surf is an actually good move unlike the other hms
>>27141300
HMs will become TMs with overworld uses like Flash did. That way we can still have the novelty but aren't limited to needing the move on our pokemon. Maybe people will even make "HM runs" where you can't use the items and need to rely on pokemon the old fashioned way.
Or maybe GF is keeping HMs and that pic is just a shitty area-limited thing like the Skiddo ranch.
