V13 Discussion Thread

I only really believe the theory because of the Jigglypuff and Nagandel stuff. There's no way that it would just be some coincidence that the pokemon have the exact same stats and moveset. Unless it's a really specific red herring.

I agree. If it was only the base stats it might've been coincidence, but even the moveset seems intentional. And this here says that it even has Beast boost scripted as its ability, just not used.

But I don't really agree with the sprite stuff, they just happen to have similar hair styles, which is why the bangs look the same. I guess those white points that look like eyes really make them look alike, but are completely different things in my opinion. For Freya, I think it's just the skincolor of her forehead being visible between her bangs, as for Risa, it looks like the reflection of her sunglasses.

[Magus543]

Well, one sibling of the dev team has already given us some trouble. And Risa is the sister of game Zumi right? There is more to Risa than meets the eye.

 

 

Like i'm expecting some sort of back stab from her, because like she beat Melita in a match. She beat Jan's favorite character in a pokemon fight, that's something alright. 

[kithas]

That's why I consider it a valid theory. There's a lot of things for it to be just a coincidence lol

And we're forgetting that Risa apparently is simultaneously the best student, actress, model, cinema director, fighter against an evil team, great battler, and probably I'm forgetting somethin. So everything adds up to us being against her in this next version

[Tikkit]

Melita? But yeah, she's definitely gonna do something alright. I wouldn't point to the beating Melia thing as a reason, because I'm certain that was for plot reasons, but the other stuff lines up.

 

I wonder what her team in the tournament will be, if we do fight her. Will it just be Freya's team but as different pokemon?

Hi! I’m a 18 years old girl from Italy. So I’ve not quite understood: Rejuv is cancelled?

Hahaha, sorry if we made you think it was! We were joking earlier in the thread, we're still working on the game  No worries!

[Cadmium48]

So um

Risa's definitely important

She is also one of three people mentioned on the Twitter account, along with Texen offhandedly and Mika

[Delta3416]

Saki is very different to Titania. They will probably nerf Fire by making it constantly rain during the battle (like the Grass leaders).

 

It is mentioned when we encountered Saki in that cave that she was visited by a red-haired woman.

[Tikkit]

Risa and Saki seem like they'll be important in V13. 

 

Also, as a sidenote, what sidequests do you think will continue/be started next version? I know that Narcissa's sidequest has came to an end, but it seems like Ana's has yet to be finished, and Goomink may lead to something, considering the ending.

Looking back at these tweets.  Saki is saying the same thing with her hanging out with Risa, with the pictures going from Risa and Saki, to just Saki, and then no picture at all for the last tweet with Risa's name being not there.  It is the most obvious thing that I can say, but the last tweet just creates a sense of dread for me.  I also think that Risa is dead and that Freya is disguising as her for something.

[Tikkit]

Oh, that seems grim. But why exactly would Freya disguise herself as Risa? And it's interesting that Freya would be friendly with Saki, since Saki has seen Freya before way back on Terajuma.

[Delta3416]

Risa is a celebrity who gets the respect of basically all of GDC, she’s so popular she’s basically allowed to commit crimes there.

 

As for side quests, I’m fairly sure the Legend of Goomy one was a one-off. Ana’s quest will definitely continue. I’m really looking forward to finding out what her origin story is and how it connects to the Interceptor.

Yeah, I'm fairly interested in seeing what's next, considering the fact that now I almost exclusively play as Ana and how close she is to fully regaining her memory. As for Goomy… I don't know, the Goomy kingdom is in the remains of one of the seven kingdoms, so something could happen there.

[Draconis]

Honestly, those tweets are making me really nervous.

Same. Big same.

[DreamChaser60]

It also says that Risa didn't care about the fake news article where Texen (her brother) burned down Sheridan Village. Risa's been replaced!!

[Draconis]

[DreamChaser60]

My theory is that there are a few really strong gym leaders or Elite 8 members organizing the plans with robo-Amanda. If no one can get strong enough or get the badges to challenge them, they can continue to stay in power and manipulate the region.

This organization might ally with Team Bladestar which is falling apart and ask fellow gym-leader Flora to join them and free her from jail.

They probably want to reconstruct the region in some way and causing chaos with messed up League plans and memory-wiped gym leaders would help with that.

Who do you think is heading this secret group?

You guys have some ~spicy~ theories cooking over there and here I am just wanting the next update to give more stamps for that mall in GDC, I am dead sure the next floors will sell evolution stones (Need 2 more Ice Stones for Alola Vulpix and Glaceon) and items like Leaftovers, Life Orb, etc

And yeah.. I don't trust Risa.. She rub me the wrong way, that Jigglypuff looks the type to stab you on the stomach and then slowly turn the knife left and right while it laughs as your blood slowly drops to the floor.. Thing's scary yo!

Would be funny if Saki were to put a comment in this thread while still doing tweets. It would make things pretty interesting.

Oh, thank god. But what about remaing Zygarde Cores locations? Nobody didn't tell about that, neither have suggested.

Hmm, that's an interesting point. If I remember correctly, there are canonically 5 Zygarde Cores (at least as far as Alola's concerned), which would initially seem at odds with Aevium's four Subregions… until you remember that Terrial is further split into two drastically different landmasses. I figure that there'd be one Core per landmass, so my guesses are...

 

Floria: Route 4's fancy new Wild Area (a place that big and unspoiled by man's bound to attract an ecosystem-defense system, after all)

Terrajuma: Part of the jungle we don't currently have access to (somewhere down the river beneath the Lover's Bridge, perhaps? ); Valor Mountain's also an option, but that place is packed to the brim with events already...

East Terrial: Somewhere in Route 9, either beyond the two NPCs that have been in that absurdly long conversation (seriously, it's been almost a week in game, minimum...), or in the cave system.

West Terrial: the quicksand-filled cave (this is the one we already have, BTW)

Neverwinter: ...We've never been to any part of this place (assuming Blacksteeple isn't in its waters, of course), so I naturally can't guess for this one

 

Generally speaking, it seems unlikely that Zygarde would want to put it's most important parts near Garufan territory given their tendency to... mistreat the laws of nature in dramatic ways, but it also wouldn't want to be too far away as to keep it from springing to action should they pull anything dramatic enough. Of course, I'm not a partially-connected deific hivemind spread across several hundred miles of land, so my thought process might be a bit off here.

[Tikkit]

I feel like at least one core would be near Garufan territory. They'd probably have captured at least one, and it would probably make for a good sidequest to have to go and retrieve it from the depths of some old Garufan facility. Call it HL5 or something, because that quest line has a history of giving insight into ancient Garufan structures.

I think the talking NPCs are no longer in there and that way was the way to the abandoned pier to Neverwinter!
