USM Speculation

No.32731106 View ViewReplyOriginalReport
>Heahea City was said to be formed by people who traveled in Kanto and Johto long, long ago and came together in the Alola Region
>Malie City was also said to be formed by people from Johto settling in Alola
>Malie Garden also has a lake inside of it in the shape of a Gyarados, an allusion to the Lake of Rage in Johto
>a Sightseer in Malie City mentions that she is from Johto and finds it odd that people in Alola don't use Fly to travel, before giving the player the TM for the move
>Lana mentions having reeled in a Red Gyarados once; in the end, she was just trying to trick the player into believing her
>on Mount Lanakila, Professor Kukui mentions facing the Indigo League and how tough the battle with Lance was; Lance was the Champion of the Indigo League in the Generation II games and their remakes
>the player is able to obtain one Apricorn Ball each per game; these are the special Poké Balls that Kurt makes by hand in the Johto region
>Pokémon Go was recently updated with Gen 2 Pokémon
>the Johto starters can be obtained from the Island Scan feature (the Unova starters can also be obtained this way, but let's be honest, no one cares about them)
>in the latest Pokémon Direct, plush dolls of the Johto starters and box legends were the only non-Gen 7 Pokémon to be displayed on the shelves
>Pokémon Gold and Silver are going to be released for the Virtual Console during the same season as USM, Fall 2017
>Gen 2 was the only Gen to not have any of its characters appear in SM which is quite suspicious
>one of the trainer classes wears a Meganium shirt
I never realized how many references there were to Johto this gen. Could it be a sign of things to come in USM? Knowing the Pokémon Company and GameFreak, probably not.
