I'll just post this here; unused pokemon from the original demo of Gold/Silver.

I’d always found it funny how Scyther and Pinsir, clearly a duo of sorts, didn’t both get evolutions... like how Magmar/Jynx/Electabhzz got pre evolutions.

I suspected even as a kid Heracross would be Pinsirs evolution since we knew of Scizor, and that SS of Pinsir having Heracross’ Giant horn confirms it was originally the intent to give both Scyther and Pinsir an evolution but for some reason they decided to separate Pinsir.

I wouldn’t be surprised if we found out of a scrapper Jynx evolution at some point, from the same generation as Magmortar and Electivire

... a scrapper Jynx evolution ...

The Japanese quickly realized it was the most racially insensitive thing they'd ever drawn, and turned it over to their defense ministry in order to weaponize it.

Ironically enough the offense part is probably why she never got an evolution lol.

Couldn't they just have recolored it to look more like Smoochum?

Well, I mean... I've gotta figure for a Jynx evolution they'd just draw some kind of female psychic ice beauty, a total departure from the cartoony caricature "wtf is that exactly" motif of its prior forms.

And while Pokemon repeats itself all the time with their early level bird, rodent, and bug garbage monster designs, a Jynx evolution would be specifically another psychic female beauty thing, which I guess is less forgivable creatively at this point.

Anyway, the Pokémon Company CEO, Tsunekazu Ishihara, participated in an interview at a Famitsu event today, Serebii reports he cemented some of the things we'd heard about this game but hadn't formally confirmed yet:

Pokémon Generation 8

Speaking to Japanese publication Famitsu, which has a massive 20 page feature on Pokémon Let's Go Pikachu, Let's Go Eevee and Quest, features an interview with The Pokémon Company CEO, Tsunekazu Ishihara who provided a few minor tidbits about the upcoming Pokémon game for Nintendo Switch due out in 2019. He reconfirmed that this game is due for release in the second half of 2019, will have better graphics than any prior Pokémon game, that it'll be completely new aimed at experienced fans, not like Pokémon Let's Go Pikachu & Let's Go Eevee and states that it will contain many brand new Pokémon.
We'll provide full details on these games as they come so be sure to keep checking back.

I know I'm an outlier on this, but I would love to see a shakeup on starters. Like instead of Fire > Grass > Water, we could do something like Fighting > Dark > Psychic.

[Kirin]

I think the middle ground they found with S/M was good. Starting out with the f/g/w but having their evolved forms (for the most part) carry an uncommon fairy or ghost property.

[silverdragontyr]

X and Y was also doing that middle ground. Their final forms were the Fighting > Dark > Psychic trio. What they may need is a change-up of the formula. Something other than 8 badges(or some variant) > League or variant. Sun and Moon was a step in the right direction adding different types of the same pokemon and adding an actual story rather than "I want to be the very best~"

"will have better graphics than any prior Pokémon game"

Hope this means a totally new engine. I'd buy a switch if this game is anywhere near what I've seen from Zelda BOTW
