This is INSANE lol didn't think so close to launch be more info like this, if this makes TCG it would be an amazing promo or mini set, full arts of every leader lol also would still love to see totem pokemon in the TCG, made up of 2 cards just like the old legends cards, but glad you can effectively catch/use giant totem pokemon in game now!

This is I'm sure another couple of dozen hours of game play! Cannot wait for this game!

A gang of bosses sounds strange. Most of them (or all of them?) are quite crazy with their own big plans, I can't imagine 3 or more of them agreeing to each other.

Wow. I heard about Team Rainbow Rocket and being able to catch legendaries, but wow. This is going to be a great game!

Any hopes Archie and Maxie could get along with Cyrus or each other? I don't think so!

So I heard that this Giovanni is from a universe where he succeeded in catching Mewtwo right? Id love to play the gold and silver games where Team Rocket is actually up to something greater than just getting their old leader back. It could change everything for Gold.

All of the bosses are from universes where their plans succeeded.

Sounds like Giovanni's coming out of the closet, lol.

In all seriousness, holy Arceus can they get me any more hyped for these games? I don't think so! I'm interested to see how Team RR will be incorporated into the plot, why Faba seems to be affiliated with them, and what roles Sophocles, Guzma, and Wicke will play.

Can't wait for Alolan Vileplume (most likely on Nov 10, [along with potentially a couple of new UBs as per TCG predictions?])!! I always loved Vileplume -- Poison/Fairy will be an interesting typing -- I may just need to build a VGC team around it!

Weak to: Fire, Ice, Flying, Ground, Psychic, Steel

Resistant to: Water, Electric, Grass, Fighting, Bug (0.25x), Dark, Fairy
Immune to: Dragon

Normally damaged by: Normal, Poison, Rock, Ghost

Some bad weaknesses, but some good resistances too for sure.

I'm curious on why they have ORAS Wally (From Battle Tree) but they decided to change Archie and Maxie back to their original outfits? (Black Archie was the best imo)

Wait, Cyrus was still on vacation in the Distortion World last I checked.

All I can say is; welcome back Giovanni. I guess there will finally be a real evil team again instead of some cheap, childish and/or unrealistic group like everything since Team Rocket. Yes Aether was allright I guess, but come on, nothing beats Team Rocket.

Btw, does this mean the casino is back? Nothing like hitting the slots like an addict in a Pokemon game for hours and hours in search of a Porygon that wasn't that good after all.

No Casino will never be back due International Laws about gambling games not being allowed to be sold to children.

False technically a casino could return the mechanics of gambling exist everywhere in games - most recent example Mario oddesy, for 10 coins spin slots and you may recieve something or not, and let's not get started on loot boxes.

The laws only protect the real life exchange of money for potential benefit (hence why loot boxes are now coming under scrutiny as young people are effectively properly gambling on them).

Id safely say game corner will be back at some point if developers chose to include it - probably was removed after the aforementioned disappointment of Porygon etc the time investment was basically a waste of time, and became more of a chore than anything!

This is big news for VGC. Makes me think that we'll be potentially seeing VG2016 again in 2019.
