I cant get over the new crystalize mech. Why they have to put a giant shiny chandelier on the Pokémon’s head 
Wait so earlier it was leaked there are pokemon with a past and future form so does that mean those forms can also be crystallized?
TCG wise, I’m very curious how 5Ban will make the artwork as bland as possible for pokemon that are littered with crystals and reflective surfaces.

This is the world map posted on the main website and the press release. You can really see a ton of the paths and areas.

The map is giving me Hoenn vibes, I like it. Best map since Kalos. Curious to see what is going on with the crater in the middle. I’m also curious about the Mascot typings.

As long as you don’t have to spend half the game surfing, I’m cool with it. Lol.

Indeed! Man I hate surfing for long stretches, AND whirpool… Seriously.

Just toss on some Beach Boys and have a little Surfin Safari 
From the look of the map, it seems there are a few scattered beaches around Paldea, as well as some alcoves that may not be visible due to the direction the map faces. Both Portugal and Spain own some islands off their coasts, so maybe we will see some island adventures in the main game or dlc

Looks like we have ibiza in the far right of the map. Party on.

I wonder if you can just fly/glide over some smaller bodies of water, rather than having to surf?
The most interesting thing about the new gimmick, is whether it’ll be a chance to see the return of Aquapolis/Skyridge crystal Pokémon in the tcg…now with added chandelier hat.

Few more leaks that might interest some of you:
-
Suicune and Virizion will both have Paradox Forms. However, they have been removed from the initial data and will be included in the DLC instead.
-
Tentacool will get a Convergent Species. It will be based on a mushroom. Interesting.
-
There will be a Dragon-type Pokemon based on sushi. It will be a single-stage Pokemon.
-
The pseudo-legendary Pokemon will be Dragon/Ice.

Tofu Dragon… A grass dragon type would be cool, actually. There isn’t one, yet, is there?

That’s a really cool map. I wonder what’s in the center of that crater?
Looks like a volcano on the outside with a McFlurry on the inside so I’m going to coin it Mt. Flurry.

The fact the top right region would connect with Kalos, and we don’t get any Mega Pokemon this generation is upsetting

So, MAJOR NEWS: the Scarlet/Violet Pokedex has LEAKED.
Some notes:
- There will be 105 new Pokemon in Scarlet/Violet (including Paradox and Convergent forms).
- Remember that sushi-based Pokemon I mentioned earlier? We see here that it is apparently Dragon/Water, which is an absolutely phenomenal typing.
- Looks like Tentacool and Diglett represent the only Convergent Forms. I wonder if they’ll be version exclusives?
- There will be 15 unique Paradox Forms: Donphan, Volcarona, Amoongus, Jigglypuff, Misdreavus, Magneton, Salamence, Suicune, Gardevoir, Gallade, Hariyama, Delibird, Tyranitar, Virizion and an unnamed pseudo-legendary Pokemon. What’s interesting is that both Donphan and Volcarona will be getting both Ancient and Future Forms.
- There are three new dog Pokemon. We already saw the Fairy-type Fidough in the trailer, but there will apparently also be a Dark-type and a Ghost-type dog. Seeing as how those two are right next to one another in the Pokedex, my guess is they will be version exclusives.
- The supposed Pika clone (Pawmi) is a three-stage Pokemon. So not only is this the first Pika clone to evolve since Marill, but it will also have three stages. Very interesting. Oh, and its signature move allows you to revive a fallen member of your team (like a Max Revive). Nuts.
- Looks like the Dunsparce evolution has been confirmed. Just pure Normal type, though.
