>>36365998Got some info from an insider regarding the basics, take it as you will.
>134 new Pokemon>Pokemon now have Abilities, which do a whole bunch of shit; Starters all have Abilities that boost their respective type's damage when low on health, some Pokemon are guaranteed to run from battles that can be fled from, some Pokemon can pick up random items after battles, some can cause status effects when using a physical contact move, some can nullify/absorb moves of certain types, one is even completely immune to damage that isn't super effective>your rival is now the character you didn't pick fulfilling the role of the Professor's child, they aren't as banter-heavy as RGBY's or edgy as GSC's>unlike GSC, expect to see Dark and Steel a lot more often and a lot earlier>your dad is one of the Gym Leaders, you actually stumble upon his Gym first and help some kid catch his first Pokemon, dad won't fight you until you beat other Gyms>areas are kinda similar to RGBY's with some GSC mixed in; Humble Starting Town, a small town similar to Cherrygrove, a Viridian City-type City with an initially inaccessible Gym, a Forest, a big City where a corporation is stationed, a town on an island away from the mainland, stuff like that>1st Gym is Rock, Leader is a girl who uses a Moai with a huge red nose>2nd Gym is Fighting, Leader is a surfer dude with something that looks like a Boxer Sandbag>3rd Gym is Electric, Leader is a jolly fat man with a Wolf Raijū of sorts>transferring from RGBY or GSC seems impossible, not sure if it hasn't been implemented yet or what's upDon't have any confirmation on the last one, but evidently they're having a hard time figuring it out. Must've changed how the Pokemon work internally or something.
