NEW POKEMON FORMS?! • Pokémon Presents LIVE Reaction 

The idea of there being evolutions and regional forms that likely went extinct as time went on is fascinating to me. I also can’t get over how fluffy Hisuian Growlithe is. I imagine the arcanime evolution would resemble the komainu

“Pokémon attack you?!” This is what Rowan was warning us about.

"I'M SORRY, WHO ARE YOUUUUUU!" That was the best reaction lol.

Those new evolutions and form variants had quite the shift in tone. "These ones have adapted to the region's climate, while this one has absorbed the souls of those who perished on the journey." One of those was unlike the others!

So, are we just going to gloss over the fact that the Galaxy Expedition Team is basically the roots of Team Galactic? Icon is similar, name is similar, Cyllene from the Galaxy Expedition Team looks like a relative of Cyrus.

"Basculegion is an evolution of Basculin when it absorbs the souls of other Basculin who have perished on their journey upstream" Basculegion: *WITH EVERY BASCULIN DEATH, I GROW STRONGER.*

i love that they called the team leader guy Kamado cuz professor Rowan’s japanese name is Nanakamado

Wyrdeer: Normal/Psychic Basculegion: Water/Ghost Hisuian Braviary: Psychic/Flying Hisuian Growlithe: Fire/Rock

I'm so thrilled for Legends: Arceus; it looks like the sort of adventure that kid me used to daydream about all the time.

The happy narrator talking about Basculin getting possessed by dead souls is still the funniest thing to me.

The professors were right after all.. Tall grass IS dangerous! I am very excited to play both games. What a time to be a Pokemon fan

"Old Guy Stantler" was pretty spot on lol

i’m so excited for everything honestly, but arceus is such a breath of fresh air and it has my boy cyndaquil so i’m extra hyped. also your excitement for the music is such a mood, pokemon music is so special

@ 17:18 "IM SORRY?!? WHO ARE YOU?!!" literally same reaction I had lmao priceless

I love how everyone was worried about performance but they clearly have shown that they are improving the framrates

What I love about Legends of Arcrus is that the concept is exactly like something I envisioned as a kid for a Pokémon game, something that sorta combined concepts from PMD as well as founding/establishing a new region in the past. It’s basically the game I’ve always wanted from the series, especially from the shinnoh region. It’s almost like they read my mind

How has nobody picked up on the fact that Cylene is clearly an ancestor of Cyrus?

Omg the dp hud in BDSP so nostalgic. It can only become perfect if it takes 20 seconds to oneshot a blissey

I only hope that Pokémon legends, since having a massive map, won’t be too baron. That’s always the issue with big maps. Empty spaces. I’m looking forward to what they will add in the environments to make the world look more alive, instead of just dumping a bunch on Pokémon near tall grass and call it a day. But by the trailer it looks like it’s not going to dissapoint

"I dunno, maybe that's what pokemon looked like or some.... Where did she go?!" XD I'm dying so much omg!!!

The Hisui region is actually just Sinnoh, but they mentioned it’s name gets changed at some point in the future timeline-wise

Easily my favourite person to watch react to Pokémon need, because your reactions are so level-headed. It's not overwhelming excitement and refusal to see any negatives, and it's not unpleasant negativity unable to see anything good either. Your excitement is so similar to my own, and it feels so sincere.

Here are my thoughts on the remakes and legends arceus (it's going to a long comment since I have a lot to say about the games but I hope you enjoy it regardless). BDSP: I know that the pokemon community has had a problem with the remakes before the direct but I'm an optimistic person so I won't judge the games unless I play it or see more information and honestly I'm very excited for the remakes a bit more than legends arceus. I'm satisfied with things that I hoped for like using platinum dex and pokeball capsule returning and using features that I didn't think would be likely in the game such as following pokemon and clothing customization. So I'm satisfied with the remakes so far. Legends arceus: With all new features that are original (I haven't played breath of the wild so I don't really know about features from that game) coming to legends arceus are very promising. The new regional forms coming to the game are awesome since it's one of my favorite features since sun and moon and the new evolutions are looking cool in my opinion. The fact that pokemon can literally attack you from rage is honestly very terrifying but also cool at the same time. I really hope that legends arceus isn't rush because of release date and becomes a great installment for the franchise and maybe seeing more of this type of game play in the future games. If I have to rate this direct, I would give it an 8/10. I didn't care a lot about unite, cafe and pokemon master but it was cool at least. I'm very excited for both BDSP and legends arceus and hopefully these games would be great for a lot of people however we won't know for sure until the games are fully released. Edit: I forgot to mention one more thing and that is the pokemon contest. I'm liking the new contest set since it fits with the rhythm theme and its refreshing to get a new contest setup.

7:58 I see you're a man of culture as well, there's no denying these games would have been the best remakes if they had SwSh graphics (perhaps even slightly updated like ORAS did with XY graphics).

Really excited for both, really nostalgic for BDSP, and Legends looks to be a really unique pokemon experience that I'm excited for. Btw that music when Team Galactic appeared SLAPS

I love the look of BDSP but there's no question that I'm more excited for Legends: Arceus. It looks so hype!

I knew that Greedent was Greedy/Rodent, but it took me watching this video to realize that Squovet is meant to be Squirrel/Covet

Today is a good day to be a Pokemon fan

BDSP gave me tears of joy, Legends gave me goosebumps of anticipation.

Everyone: Sw/Sh graphics are awful! Also Everyone: DP remakes would bs better in Sw/Sh Graphics

I'm glad we get to see where our characters we know and love from the games we met in the original games and see who their ancestors are

Really exciting presents. Glad you were able to do a video. I always enjoy seeing your reactions to these

This is probably the best trailer GF has ever done. I love watching it.

My first pokemon game was platnium so the trailer with the music and hud just made me so happy 😊

I don't care for the Chibi style of the people on the D&P remakes, but everything else looks good. The Legend of Arceus looks very cool. I'm excited to see how that one will do.

I like that in all of the comment sections of all the reaction videos, they almost never talk about Pokemon Go, Masters EX, Unite and Café Remix.

I want a Hisuan Infernape who is a Fire/Electric type that rides a cloud and wields the Ryu Jingu Bang

Am always looking forward to your reactions. And am excited for both games, can't wait to see how legends play. They still have some time to work on things before it's release.

pokemon legends arceus finally showing everyone why you're not allowed to go into the tall grass without a pokemon

My older brother and I loved playing pokemon diamond and pearl. I can't speak for him but it was definitely. Y favorite gen due to the memories of us having fun and kicking ass haha. So to see this beautiful remake happening, I'm overly excited.

I like the detail that in Legends the Pokédex looks like it’s recorded on paper files, because there aren’t any computers yet.

I was in 6th/7th grade when D/P came out and played the hell outa them as a kid. 2nd gen and 4th gen were always my favorite.

His reaction of dawn yeetin herself at the cliff like 'Whered she go? " so funny

I love the action order. It makes speed actually matter more. Instead of just who goes first

Title: new pokemon forms Shows: new Evolutions

I love everything about this update. Also, the concept of Pokémon having evolutions that went extinct over time is really cool. Looking forward to these games and watching Luke play through them!

That clip of the dive off the cliff, and then the braviary flying up just gives my gooooooosebumps

The Arceus Nuzlocke ends with your survey corps replacement finding your half eaten carcass being picked at by Mandibuzz.

I’m curious to see what shiny hunting is going to look like in Legends Arceus. Is it going to be a thing and are we just going to see random shiny Pokémon roaming the open world? Super excited about that game.

Getting Legends Arceus. January can't come soon enough. This game is on point.

At 20:49 the narrator says that it opens new doors for the Pokemon series. Could that possibly be a hint that they're already plans for future Pokemon Legends games. If Arceus is as good as it looks, I'm so ready for this new direction

That Growlithe really gives off vibes of the mythological beast Komainu, and I really really REAAAAAALLY wanna see what the Arcanine looks like, stoked to find out when the game comes out.

I hope that team Galactic music from the trailer is in the game, it's fire. Im obsessed with this growlithe

I am sat on my number 9 bus, coming back from work, watching this out loud and I’m very happy.

*@Gameboyluke:* hey Lukey, imagine they keep releasing Eeveelutions for Unite and every Eevee has the same moveset so nobody can tell which Eeveelution it's going to become except the Eevee's player.

My first ever Pokemon game was Platinum. I got it over 10 years ago on my birthday. The fact that BD SP is coming out a day before my birthday makes me feel like that excited kid picking Twiggy the Turtwig again!!!!

Oh how the tables have turned. In the Hisui region, YOU are the one hiding in the tall grass ambushing Starly. 😭

I just realized that Cyllene might be the ancestor of Cyrus. Also Hinted toward to them being related because… you know, Galaxy Team, Team Galactic, pretty similar don’t ya think?

I was like 14ish pokemon away from finish the pokedex on my old diamond game and I worked my ASS off for it through the GTS and stuff. Most of them were like, event mythicals and stuff which made it hard. Unfortunately, I never finished it because my younger brother took my DS to school and gave it away to make friends, which included my diamond game because of some of the relatively rare stuff on it. Parents didnt chase it up and basically said "he's a kid, it happens". That was like... 2008? I'm still mad, because it was just brushed off and I was told to get over it because "it's just a video game lol". These re-releases are very bittersweet for me personally.

I'm 22 gen 4 was my first real introduction into pokemon, and since diamond and pearl, Sword and Shield (gen 8) were the first pokemon games I didnt play bc one I was in college and two bc I was a college student I wasnt bothered to buy a nintendo switch. But best believe these remakes have saving up my money to get a switch lite just for this game.

I think they’re different types as well. The Vulpix used quick attack and it made a not very effective noise.

I missed your stream this morning. You're always so positive.

At the beginning of the BDSP piece, Vinny is Turtwig, Dylan is Chimchar, Luke is Piplup. Agree?

So if Hop has Zamazenta, Gloria has Zacian and Leon has Eternatus, then that means if Victor appears in Pokemon Masters GX, he'll more than likely either have Calyrex, Urshifu or one of the Galar Starters, mainly Cinderace. But that's just my theory of course!

OUR MAN IS SO CLOSE TO 300K! LET'S GOOOOO!!!!!

Yeah I realllt hope theres more hisuian forms and evolutions cause they all look dope this Game is gonna look fun and rpg crazed

Pokemon Legends Ho-Oh and Lugia would be so cool if this becomes a series in itself

That Team Galactic music slapped! I'm so hyped for both games especially Legends Arceus 😁

BDSP look amazing and I like the how interactive its become now with pokemon following u, customizing the pokeballs and the contest. But I just wish they added more pokemon. It looks like the same, limited pokedex and it sucks since they have added SO many new pokemon in the last decade. Idk, thats just my opinion but it looks like a great game for those who never played gen 4 at all

Would the hideaway be one encounter for all types? Or would you limit to one statue set up and get that encounter only?

At 15:49 for those of you who don’t this Nintendo switch lite is reference with a similar design that they used from the da lite model that they made when the original diamond and Pearl Pokémon games got released

I wanted the remake ever since I saw the first trailer. Now I want it more

Like the ancestry of things Cyllene ancestor of Cyrus and the Galaxy team is Team Galactic, even the symbol fot the team like you see on Prof. Laventon lab coat is the same style text that team Galactic uses in Normal Diamond and Pearl, and around Cyllene wrists are the same symbols

Hands down one of my highlights of the year.

Legends Arceus is what I've been waiting for. I have kind of fallen off Ookemin since Sword and Shield I didn't even beat it, so yeah Diamond and Pearl were doing nothing for me. But Legends Arceus looks insane!

I was smiling like an idiot watching the Arceus trailer. I’m curious if the Growlithe evolution will have dragon typing?

I'm more optimistic about Arceus now. It looks different and better. It looks like there is more to do. This looks like a region I wanna 100% complete the Pokedex in.

We were all scared that Diamond pearl would be a true 1 for 1, but im so glad to see added features and while im not totally happy with chibi overworld i can say im happy with the upgrades they have added

Sad you weren't here I always watch with you over other RU-vidrs so watched with Dylan instead still watched your reaction as well 🤩

BDSP and Arceus look amazing! I can't wait to play them!

I am sad this was not live streamed but at the same time I get to watch it so hell yeah

Fun fact my first ever shiny I found was the starly you encounter in the beginning after you choose your starter

15 years OMG does any1 else get the vibe of damn am i getting that old??? lol i remeber diamond and pearl like it was just yesterday holy crap time flies lol but seriously cant wait to get that.

I wish they would make a remix or even a remake of Pokémon puzzle league. Have certain Pokémon abilities or the idea of classic play

Is it bad that the first thing that popped into my mind was: "you see our new growlith, it's gets even Wyrdeer"

From what I can tell it’s seems like if you throw down a poke ball outside of catching a Pokémon or battling they pop out and walk with you and that one shot showed the whole party I can’t wait to be able to roll up with a squad of Pokémon

I know I'm late but when I see the pokemon catching mechanic I was like WHO'S HIDING IN TALL GRASS NOW?

I'm excited for the new pokemon. I hope we get to see more and the connection to pokemon home will bring more vailability to underused pokemon. So stoked!

I got my second shot yesterday and it’s kicking hard!

No one else notice the iconography of the galarian Weezing on top of the galactic building?

idk if anyone else heard it but the Legends Arceus wild battle music sounds like a certified BOP

Basculeigon is an evolution of Basculin in which it absolbs the perished souls of its perished comrades :D

I thought that Stantler evolution was Arceus for a second 😂😂

I was super excited to play the Diamond and pearl remake but my switch got the blinking green light of death so that will have to be pushed out for me. Legends is a must have, hopefully my switch will be back up and running before then.

Legends of Arceus is just Breath of the Wild for pokemon and I cannot be more excited

Tbh, I wasn’t sure if I wanted to play DP but after this? Omg it looks amazing and it reminded me that it’s not GameFreak, they’re doing a decent job 🥰 can’t wait

I need all the music in this video PLEASE, god its so good

Honestly I’m excited for both! Pearl was my first game that I beat and Diamond is the game where I did my first nuzlocke! Then this new game seems so much fun as well!! I’m gonna be getting both honestly 😊

5:28 Luke getting hipe to snage the gems

I never played the OG Diamond and Pearl, so I'm looking forward to playing that.💯 Arceus seems more interesting now...tho I may wait and see if it's worth it👀
