I rather have this instead of 100~150 new Pokemon every few years. There are quite a few new Pokemon anyway this generation.

What have they done to you Raichu?

Versus making Pokémon that people will shit on for not looking like something from gen 1?
Game Freak will never win.
Remember to get your Raichu spayed or neutered.
One of the new trainers from Team Skull, looks interesting
Repost.We got motivation, they're outsiders
I have some bad news for you. We've seen regular Pichu and Pikachu in the wild so this type change is most likely exclusive to Raichu.

Evil team seems more grounded a la Team Rocket. Hoping it means Team Skull isn't trying to trigger the apocalypse.
But then again, who would've thought Team Flare would take fashion so far.

Ash should finally evolve his Pikachu.
Into an Alolan Raichu because it's adorbs.

That image in the OP must've really ruined your fun.
Please delete this.
Maybe they're not really evil? I wouldn't mind a sillier goofy tone rather than something cartoonishly evil like "WE WANT IT TO BE NIGHT FOREVER" yet again.

That's an actually pretty great motivation because it ties directly to the Island Challenge instead of simply being tangential like the gyms of old. I do wonder what they'll do with it though. I think cohesiveness is a very good theme we are seeing for this game. Everything is so different from past games but almost everything is very cohesive and works for the atmosphere that the game is trying to present.

This video is going to be full of puns.

I hope the spookiest gang has a final boss that dresses up like a big skeleton

Was better off when it was ignored. Seriously how can you go from the badass Raichu design to that turd.
What a super easy cosplay for the Grunts.
they actually look like people you can run into this time around!

Haha I like the grunts. Looks like a weird fusion of ORAS aqua and vanilla plasma
Ok, now I do like the grunts, they look kinda like Plasma's second look.
That posing though...
Nothing will come close to Team Galactic.

Yeah, I have to admit, Team Rocket are still my favourite antagonists and that's not just genwunner talk. Their motivation makes complete and total sense: they're criminals in it for profit and you are in the way. There's no real grand-scheme here, they're just there to get dollah by abusing 'mons. By comparison, Aqua and Magma are, what, some sort of cultist thing? Is it ever even explained why they want to flood the world/drain the sea? Cyrus was like the ultimate emo; Ghetsis got lost from the finale of a Final Fantasy game, and Team Flare were absolute scrub tier villains. I'm kind of fed up of pretentious villains in Pokemon games.

I'm glad these have leaked now, I didn't fancy staying up until 2am on Friday to watch the trailer
I hope they just want to fuck things up
