Pokemon
-The box legends are both wolves, but they are NOT different Pokemon. One is a “sword form” and one is in a “shield form”. These forms are exclusive to their respective game.
-120 new Pokemon, with four mythics. So, you can catch 116 regularly in game.
-New regional variants. There is an ice type shuckle that is offensive. Another example is an English poet smeargle.
-New pseudo legend is Dragon/Fire. It is the latest evolution line ever, with its final stage evolving at level 70.
-New legendary trio like the birds or Regis is a trio of dragons. They are based on 3 famous English dragons, the welsh dragon and the red and white dragons. I’m not familiar with English folklore, so if someone knows better I’d love to know.
-This trios typing is pure Dragon.
-The trio is related to the wolf legend, as the wolf serves as its trio master.
-The third legend is a horse of some sorts.

Gameplay
-Pokeride and Hms do NOT return, but there is a new mechanic that is basically identical to secret skills.
-Dive returns! You can use dive in the game, and the entire lake in the middle of the map can be explored underwater. Other areas can use dive.
-Some other abilities are strength, a flashlight, and cut. Pretty basic.
-Armor forms are a thing like pretty much every leak has pointed out. This is the gimmick of this generation. Armored forms come from the power of the gods, meltan is not related to armor evolutions.
-Armor forms can be changed using a special item, the armor form is not permanent. You can change your Pokemon back using the item.

That's all for now, #GrookeyGang.
