Since the story is confirmed to go mostly the same route does that mean that

>we wont be able to evolve Crabrawler until the league AGAIN
>wont be able to get Glaceon untill the league AGAIN
>wont be ale to get Drampa untill the league AGAIN
>Wont be able to evolve Nosepass, Charjabug and Magneton untill very late AGAIN

At least they could let us go up the Lanakila mountain without reaching the league floor.

It wil suck if they'll do it just as it was in SM

It doesn't confirm that at all because evidently, the wild dex distribution has changed in some way or another, and the dex has been expanded (Rockruff is number 126 in usum as opposed to 106 in sm)
>Also
We don't know if only the "core" of the story is gonna be the same, as in, Lusamine is the UB-obsessed villain. We haven't seen a single sign of Skull yet, and the rain/fog over Po Town is gone on the new map so..

Maybe we can go onto the mountain earlier, who knows?

Maybe we'll even get an Ice trial!

Why would Lillie run away then? We do see the scene with Lusamine a Aether Paradise aswell as Cosmoem in Lusamine's hidden room

Skull was irrelevant in SM, they were mereley Lusamine's "bodyguards". The clouds not being on the map means nothing. There's also no smoke coming from the Vela Volcano on the map anymore but in the trailer the smoke is still there

There does seem to be some sort of new area half way up Mt Lanakila which could imply you get to go up there when you reach Tapu Village. then again it could just be an expanded Victory Road area.

I think you didn't read right, anon. I said we don't know if only the core of the sm story remains the same (the core being lusamine as the ub-obsessed villain, hence that remains the same and lillie had to steal cosmog etc). I'm only saying side things/events like skull/tapu/ub involvement in the story/culmination of the story might be different, as well as the order of events and how events happen (e.g. Hau is now with Hala when a UB appears on melemele)

They could also simply extend the evolution range for Crabrawler to be at the base of the mountain. Drampa could be redistributed, and Magneton is a competent on its own.
With that said, Charjabug, Nosepass, and Glaceon are probably still screwed, yeah.

what >>33560704 said is correct

But, if you are right and the MC moves to alola months later, that would work like RSE ORAS
Oras and RS makes implicit that Emerald happens a few months after, and that is why the battle frontier is under construction

I never thought of it like that before, but it sounds like it makes sense.
If the theory ends up being correct, that may be why Hau is with Hala when the UB appear, because he's not journeying with you since he already did that months ago.

Not necessarily. Even if you follow the same routes in the same order, they could just set those evolve locations at different spots. This is the one thing that I don't think is necessarily the same, the rest about the story seems pretty much impossible to be different.

To be honest I'm annoyed that you couldn't walk around the back of the Power Plant building (like a Virbank Complex area) and have THAT be the Electrically Charged evolve area.

It's a perfect location in the game for it.

Why are the encounter rates of actual Alola Pokemon so small? I thought the whole purpose of having a new region is to show off the new forefront while having previous gen Pokemon as side options, maybe that's how I'd like it to be.

I've had enough. I'm gonna fucking hatch a Drampa egg. It was so fucking useless because you get it so late and underleveled. All other mons I want for my Usum team (Starter, Toucannon, Gumshoos, Golisopod, A-Sandslash) are reasonably early but then there's Drampa. Like why.They let you catch Sandshrew in Tapu Village, why not Drampa? It only makes sense.

don't forget that trainer with the level 10 murkrow, implying that murkrow has been moved to much earlier in the game.

What? No, ORAS is a different universe (with megas) with links to RS. The Battle Frontier is just a "fun" reference. Emerald happens at the same time as RS, it wouldn't make sense to have 2 fucking similar catastrophes in a few months time.
