EDIT: oh welp, since hackers found that Diancie is supposed to be distributed itself, an event evolutionary stone for Carbink seems to be out the window as a possibility.
I said that we can expect at least a Manaphy-Phione situation with Diancie and Carbink,
I said that we can expect at least a Manaphy-Phione situation with Diancie and Carbink,
but it turns out, that this will be even more radical than that!
The official site states:
"Diancie is an extremely rare Pokémon, created when Carbink undergoes a strange mutation. "
(EDIT: looks like they took exactly this part of the text down from the site o___O)
Are we finally getting a first time non-legendary ---> legendary evolution? How cool is that?
I'm sure many would reject this idea if it wasn't coming from gamefreak directly xDDD but let me explain why that is actually perfectly viable anyway:
Evolution-methods/triggers can just as easily be limited as a legendary pokemon itself.
Meaning, to make them one-offs, as legendaries always are, all that needs to be done is making the trigger, for example a special legendary evolution stone that is only available once. Or in the case of an event-legendary like this case, just distribute a single stone. Its the same as distributing 1 Diancie, except you can choose which Carbink to evolve I assume O:
Anyhow, if this is how its going to be, I hope they make a legendary evolutionary stone for Phione too! It would make perfect sense.
Potential Galarian form candidates
EDIT: updated. Made more Galardex confirmed mons grey and picked orange for confirmed to either have a new form or evolution in their line.
Went through all PKMN and marked all the highly plausible candidates for getting Galarian forms. Grey are evolutionary families of which at least one member has been confirmed to appear in regular form in Galar (so they could still get a form for a late unconfirmed stage or gain a new evolution, but otherwise seem less likely than white ones).
Things I assumed as a disqualifier (of which any might be incorrect):
-having gotten a cross-gen stage before
-having gotten a Mega
-already having a gimmick i
The news we just got is bigger than you'd think
Obstagoon is essentially the encapsulation of multiple bits of information that are all huge news in their own right to me.
1. By confirming regional variants to not merely be a "gen7 gimmick", it can now officially be called a staple feature, which isn't just great for SwSh but for the franchise.
2. By showing us that regional variants are NOT exclusively generation 1 PKMN, which makes me hopeful that eventually some obscure Unovan PKMN will get a piece of the spotlight etc.
3. By, on top of that, confirming that permanent new cross-generational evolutions are a thing again for the first time since 2006 (I'm not counting Sylveon for being
Let's Go were predictable since Sun/Moon
I think I just blew my own mind and feel dumb for not having predicted this xD...
At this point it should be really obvious to everyone that the Alola forms (or rather which PKMN got them and what types they had added) were made specifically based on what the first generation of PKMN isolated is lacking in type diversity (in the context of the 3 new types since then, as well as overall).
I realized that early on (they weren't based on popularity and they definitely weren't random or shared any other traits, besides complementing the original Pokedex really well with every single addition), but didn't understand why they would ever do that,
Poke Maniac Charon
I've been going by that nickname anywhere related to PKMN recently as you may have noticed. And since I've even started using it in the signature on my art, I went to check if there is a way to change your nickname on deviantArt.
Sure enough there is, but it's exclusive for Core members XD
So I've been thinking about whether it's worth getting that just for the name change...
But I've also found out that you cannot even buy a 1 month membership for yourself, the lowest is 3 months. You can however gift someone else a 1 month one, because..reasons? xD
That got me thinking of another option. Does anyone have any kind of request I could fulf

I read, although I am sure its another Mew under the truck rumor, that to evolve Carbink into Diancie, You need to hold 3ds sideways to the left while trading for a poke with a fairy type move.
