@Octane : I really like your suggestion about "compatible" moves, where multiple moves can fulfill the role of HMs. In fact, almost any flying Pokémon should be able to use "fly" by default (as an on-field interaction at least, even if they do not know the Fly move itself), or attacks such as "Sky Drop" should also be able to perform the same on-field function.
Porygon did nothing wrong.

@YummyHappyPills I was about to type that, but then I read that @sillygostly wrote ''almost any flying Pokémon''. Just like how there are some non-flying types that can fly; Latias, Latios, Golurk, Drampa, etc.
Also the notion of using Sky Drop to travel is hilarious.
Youll go up and come down hard.
The consequence being that the player will be disoriented every time they are sky dropped (and perhaps even hit itself in its confusion ).
Other on-field flying moves can include Hurricane (which will cause the player's hat to fly away and disappear permanently if they are wearing one, as well as ruining their hair, requiring a trip to the salon if they wish to dispel of their new Hurricane-administered do) and Bounce, which may cause the player to hop around instead of walking for a short time, and Acrobatics, temporarily turning the player into a trapeze artist who will somersault around the map for a short time.
How about as a compromise, keep the ride Pokemon over system but have it so you can assign your own comptable Pokemon to each slot. Then when you page they get taken from your pc box a bit like latias/latios in ORAS. Then it’s more personal but you don’t need hm slaves.
I always thought even if they kept HMs around, they should at least make it optional whether the Pokemon learns it is an attack move or not. That would certainly solve one half of the problem.
That's a great idea! Being able to teach a Pokemon a HM without necessarily having to overwrite one of their attack moves would certainly get my stamp of approval!
This week you will evolve...
Then there's Eevee's name and a ladder game that leads to the following answers: Yes, No, Maybe, and No (rough translation).
PokéRide seems to be coming back, or at least the concept of it. A trainer uses Lapras to navigate a water-based trail. The bulky gear that Lapras wore in Generation VII is gone, but the trainer still appears to have a helmet and sports outfit on while riding.
Following Pokémon may also be coming back. Whether any Pokémon can follow you or just a select few remains to be seen. In the demo an Eevee perched on the top of its trainers head while riding through the water on Lapras. It’s hard to imagine something bigger having that much leeway or how it would be handled. It follows that Eevee would stay outside of its Pokéball while walking as well.
Battles start by running into a Pokémon; unlike previous installments in which players would randomly trigger battles while walking through grass, water, etc this appears to show the Pokémon on the route swimming—until you bump into one. Whether they aggressively try to chase you down or not also remains to be seen.
One more thing… the route looked suspiciously like one we’ve traveled before in a previous game. Hmm…
They also claim they have pictures, but they won't share them until they can confirm authenticity.
I expect a year full of leaks and anticipation, and at the end nothing happens.
@Octane Hmm interesting. Honestly I think it might have just been unfortunate wording. In this case maybe "evolve" means "change for the better" in regard to changing your lifestyle, etc.? No one seems to be reporting about it so I doubt it's anything super substantial (like "evolve" meaning Eevee gets a new evolution). After all the rest of the posts seem to be more lifestyle oriented not really Pokemon-oriented so I wouldn't be surprised if they meant "change for the better", not "new evolution announcement soon!"
@shadow-wolf It most definitely says 'evolve' in the Pokemon sense of the word. Maybe they're just trolling a bit. Maybe they're foreshadowing something, but it doesn't have to be revealed this week. I don't know. But the timing is... interesting.
@Octane Idk I think "this week you will evolve?" means "this week will you make a small change in your life for the better?" I doubt they meant to hint at an evolution. Although the inclusion of Eevee in the movie is interesting, Eevee (although popular) often ends up evolving when belonging to a main character. So it's quite possible that Eevee's new evolution could be unveiled in the movie.
@Shadow-wolf I think what @Octane means is that the tweet is in Japanese, which means that the word evolve literally means evolving in a pokémon sense - words have different characters dependent on their actual use/meaning in that language.
However, I don't think this necessarily refers to a new eeveelution as the possible answers only seem to ask whether you want to evolve, not that you'll evolve into anything new. Who knows?

@DanteSolablood OK that makes more sense. But still, I'm going to be skeptical until we get actual news. No point in getting hyped over something that may or may not be indicating something in the future.
@shadow-wolf My thoughts exactly, the tweet could mean a lot of different things. There are other possible leaks that point to another eeveelution such as "coming soon" toy catalogues having blacked out pokémon toys which are normally situated near an eevee... but again, could just be coincidence OR an eevee with a really cool hat.

@DanteSolablood Yeah you're right, best not to get hopes up. A lot of people are speculating on a new Eevee evolution but I wouldn't be surprised if it's just, as you said, an eevee with a really cool hat lol. Although I do feel they promote Eevee quite a bit every time there's a new evolution incoming.
