While we're waiting for the trailer, let's talk about amiibo, /vp/. How will they be implemented in Sun/Moon? What are your hopes? Expectations?

Personally hoping they generate the Pokemon in our game instead of just unlocking clothes and skins, but I'm prepared to be let down. Would be pretty neat if we could EV train them in Smash.

Unlocking clothing inspired by that Pokemon would be way cooler than just giving you another Pikachu, etc.

We've already seen the box art, just has the standard Nintendo Network logo on it, no amiibo logo.

If there were functionality we'd know by now. Game Freak is just really incompetent and uptight with amiibo, whatever.

>Scan them in
>Get a 'Rental' Pokemon based on their Smash moveset with decent IVs/Nature that you can use but can't trade away or permanently have
>comes with hold item that you can keep ie Light Ball from Pikachu, Charizardite X/equivalent item from Charizard

Might be neat. I'd settle for costumes/fashion items too honestly.

As long as they don't unlock non-cosmetic content that you can't get in some other way, I'm fine with anything. So far Nintendo has been pretty good about Amiibo unlocks, so I'm optimistic.

Is Sun and Moon confirmed to be compatible with Amiibo?

More like speculated not. Let's not jump to conclusions quite yet.

We've seen the box art, there's no amiibo logo, and typically that's the thing they shove in your face as soon as possible.

The only Pokemon game that uses amiibo is Pokken, and that wasn't even Game Freak, and the functionality was cheap cosmetics and free money.

Pokemon is its "own" thing and has been for years, Nintendo probably lets them bypass the "your game has to have amiibo functionality" quota on those grounds, which TPCi is more than fine with because they're so uptight about letting Pokemon cameo in other games which is literally one of the appeals of amiibo.

When Splatoon's boxart was revealed, it didn't have the amiibo logo either

EAD. This is TPC/Game Freak, no correlation.

Anon when the TTL gimmick the games have uses QR and not Amiibo it's pretty clear it won't use Amiibo

All true, and all good evidence. But that's not "confirmation." It's speculation. Reasoned, well-supported speculation, but still speculation. Amiibo is still fairly new and priorities can change, and box art might not be final. You're probably right, but it's not confirmed until either Gamefreak says there's no Amiibo support, or the games are out.

My hopes if Pokemon main games where to ever do Ammibos, I'd hope for pokeballs, and not figurines or cards. Pokeballs are more practical for uploading your mons onto them. Even if it's only one pokemon, or 3 wouldn't be terrible. This would be a nice way to implement your handheld pokemon onto a console game (Via stadium; Colloseum) other than bank.

Hell I have every Pokemon amiibo so if they made every Pokemon an amiibo I'd be throwing money at them
