How do we feel about this? Personally it looks weird. I dont know why Pokmon designs just arent there anymore.

I've never played the first legends game, but apparently this one is going to have action based combat (meaning non- turned based). Is that true?

Shiny Wo-Chien event is live. We need to collectively defeat 1 million of them to get the shiny in a mystery gift. Goes on for 2 weeks then they switch it to the next Ruinous Treasure. Theyll do all 4 for the next 8 weeks.

You were directed to watch the trailer because it reveals that you're mistaken to believe that the picture is fake. Your personal interest in the game and motivation to consume preview media for it don't factor into that.

Ive been doing Wo-Chien raids. Holy moly, Tera Raids are such shit. First of all, time based instead of turn based. Second theres unskippable dialog and animations that just serve to burn precious seconds. Third the boss can just interrupt your turn and get like three turns in a row and you just have to sit there and watch the timer tick down until you can move again. I understand the desire to change the format from Dynamax Raids, but Dynamax Raids were just straight up better. They also ran better and werent prone to weird visual and gameplay bugs. Actually I remember way back in the day when Violet came out that Tera Raids were even worse because they could break in spectacular fashion, were you just no longer get a turn at all and just had to sit there and watch the raid fail because halfway through the game just decided no. Youve had enough turns, now watch. If they do Raids in Gen 10 again, for the love of Arceus, please do away with the timer.

Well darn, you caught us. The photo, the topic, the handful of people telling you that the picture is legit and pointing you toward the trailer to allow you to verify your suspicions, the entire Nintendolife site, it's all been a grand conspiracy to make you waste four and a half minutes watching said trailer so we can all laugh at you.

Heck, all you really need to do is expand the video Helly embedded to see Mega Dragonite in the thumbnail, then click the title to open it in Youtube and confirm it was uploaded on the official channel. You don't even need to spend 4.5 minutes to confirm it's legit. You're getting pointed and laughed at a whole lot more for your paranoia than for "falling for it."

Holy moly, Tera Raids are such s***.

They really are. Even when they don't decide to arbitrarily screw you out of a win for no apparent reason, half the time spent on the raid is taken up by the long beginning and ending animations. They're just so miserable to do in large numbers.

Indeed. I wouldn't say "Dragonite, but High Entia" is a great look, but it's not really any less silly than the base form.

I think it is a very narrow miss.

The wings on the head should have been positioned on the ears. Having it sprout out of the crest like that kind of makes it look like a bad haircut.

That said I really appreciate the callbacks to Dragonaire. The evolution from Dragonaire to Dragonite just comes out of left field.

I was pretty much going to say this. The wings just look weird and poorly-positioned, but the Dragonair-like tail is a great touch.

...but also Dragonite really doesn't need +100 BST- the real problem with Megas is that it all too frequently just makes the rich richer.
Still somehow less broken than Dynamaxing though!

i think the whole thing is a miss, the wings look fucking stupid since he already had wings, and the ball on the tail, while a callback to dragonair, just looks like they accidentally no clipped a ball onto the tail and didn't fix it

it's just weak as fuck. most megas radically change the design, dragonite just looks like it was bedazzled

What was stupid when Megas came out, so many people whinged for Pikachu to get a Mega.

The only Mega I like design wise was the Treeco line.

I used Mega Mawile in ORAS. That thing is gross.

Also I get a kick out of Mega Venusaur just being "What if Venusaur but, like...waaaay fatter?"

Anyway, I keep seeing this sentiment that doing the raids is a waste of time because theyll give us the shinies anyway. Despite the fact that Pokmon has a history of failed community missions and we didnt get the reward. People are seriously passing up on free shinies for no reason.
