I would kill for this to be true. Unfortunately, while I think you're right about the region and south Kalos being involved, I doubt that the games would be called Chrome and Rust, and I doubt that so much information would be available to anyone this early.

>>34301455 Wasn't intending to appear to be a leaker. I was just giving my take on how I think or want Gen 8 and 9 will go. Obviously none of it will be 100% right.

REAL LEAKS The games are called North and South and they are set in the Vacto region, which appears to be based on Italy (there’s lots of old buildings, rolling fields and a Colosseum like structure in addition to a Venetian style city shown). The cover Legendaries are a turtle and a bird that have plasma looking hands coming out of their backs. The starters are a Grass bear, Fire gecko and Water bird. This info is contained in a trailer that will be debuted at the next Pokémon Direct, scheduled for early January.

>>34302300 Fit what? The zodiac thing? That’s fucking stupid, even if it were a thing then Gamefreak would gladly drop it if they thought up a better idea. They won’t arbitrarily limit themselves because MUH PATTERNS

Affection is an easy mode single player only feature, Game Freak wouldn't force you to use it to unlock mega evolutions, an actual competitive feature.

>>34302310 >>34302354 >>34302393 No point arguing with zodiacfags. The next Fire starter could be a talking carrot with eight legs that shits human kidneys out of it’s nose and they’d still argue that it was an ox or snake somehow.

>>34304494 It's not hard at all to get full affection, especially if they keep something similar to the rainbow bean.

>>34304518 I don't think it's difficult, I just don't want the effects that make the game even easier.
If you add a "Amiefresh effects" toggle in the options I'd be fine with it, though.
