>Games will be unoriginally called Light and Dark
>For the first time, the three starters will obtain Water, Grass, and Fire as secondary typings and only once they evolve. Base stages will be Fairy, Steel, and Fighting.
>As Unova had a cloud theme, and Alola had a flower theme, the Kotan region will be gem themed.
>The Kotan region is based off of the United Kingdom + Ireland, and has some ties to Kalos
>Players will not be able to travel to the "Ireland" portion of the region until post-game.
>A new status effect is being introduced called Madness. It's similar to confusion in principle, but the effect leaves the Pokemon unable to attack in solo battles with a chance to return to its ball, and in double and triple battles, the Pokemon may attack a teammate. The effect lasts for up to 3 turns, but has a lower chance to trigger than other status effects.
>There will be 12 gyms, but you will only be able to encounter 4 of them during post-game. They are very difficult and defeating them will allow you to access a special story quest that culminates in fighting (get ready for it) Mewtwo
>The twist is that this Mewtwo is not a psychic-type, and is a different form entirely. It cannot Mega evolve.
>The Elite 4 has been replaced with the Royal 6. Between the 12 gyms and 6 Royals, there is coverage for every typing.
>Upon second battle, gym leaders will lose their monotyping and host a team of various types of Pokemon for a greater challenge.
>There will be 70 new Pokemon, with various new "forms" to older ones.
>Rumors of the game being similar to BotW are greatly exaggerated, but the game is semi-open world in that you can move about freely for the most part, but some areas are inaccessible or will fuck you if you try to go to them too early.
>The new team does not have the word "team" in their name
>Games will release on November 1, 2019
