I don’t think so, in the Japanese video I see a regular pikachu evolving into alolan raichu.
Also, we didn’t see an Alolan exeggcute, why wouldn’t they reveal it together with the exeggutor? They did reveal Vulpix & Ninetales/Sandshrew & Sandslash together…
Everyone please stop on the issue of where we source news from and whatever. I am gonna be doing a post later on with what the Staff have decided. Any posts related to the above after *this* post will be deleted.
I dont think it will die though, pokemoon will continue to be released the same way over and over for many eons to come… Because It works. Thing is I really wish theyd do something different, and make adventures/storyline very strong like similar to the movies and ash would grow the **** up. But you see, to minimize risk they go full counter intuitive and dont go on gut feelings, but stick with what worked the 1st time round… which is crap, because the gut feeling is what the dam books were based/come from. Its kind of like most of the movies these days, there is very few amazing movies that come out each year, because they try and go with what has been done before over and over again.
I really like that they add little things here and there though, but I think more story line needs to go into the dam episodes because watching diamond and pearl, the actual episodes that were based on the storyline were really awesome xD
Ill be up to bw soon, and hopefully there is more storyline stuff… always it kind of feels like those 22-24 episode TV shows that have a new actor and bunch of characters/ new mini story in each episode, with only some episodes through the season that actually focus on the story line of the characters… For instance - supernatruel, grim ect… Now how cool would it be if they were more like the tv shows that focus souly on the storyline.
That would require alot of effort from dem, and the episdoes would have to reduce from like 50 a year to 25… But it could be done!!!
However, if they want to keep repeating the same cycle, but they keep making awesome pokemoon, and it works and all the kiddies keep opening packs ect, playing the game, watching the show for 2-4 years before losing interest so one day they can relive the things… Then that is still good, and much rather this option to stay strong, then the pokecompany dropping all the things completly.
