In their official blog, Niantic has confirmed that the first ever Legendary Pokémon will be at GO Fest – but only if trainers around the world successfully meet the capture goals set throughout the weekend. If trainers in Chicago manage to defeat it, it will start appearing in Raid Battles across the globe. Niantic also revealed that Legendary Pokémon can be used to battle Gyms, but they cannot be used to defend them.

Are you psyched or what?!

    • Brutally honest criticism:

      The colors are awful. Look at Captain America

      What colors are used? Red White and Blue, colors of the American flag. Not only that, but it is a simple color scheme that keeps the design looking clean and not too busy. Your design has black, white, red, blue, and green. Non of these colors work well together. There is no cohesion. You need to decide on a color scheme and stick to it.

      Next, I see you tried to work in Pokemon from Unova, but the issue (pun intended) is that these pokemon are very different from eachother and only work well together when put in a good composition. It doesn’t work as a costume. Not only that but the Braviary mask throws even more in there. You should pick one pokemon or two similar pokemon (reshiram and zekrom for example) and base the design around that. Many Gijinka do this very well

      The design isn’t very good. There is too much going on and it doesn’t feel like it could simplified like Spiderman or Captain America’s suits could.

      Other than that, the lines are wobbly, and the anatomy is very off but I’m assuming you just want critique on the design itself

    • Okay, I really like the starters incorporated into the shoulders. That’s pretty sweet. However:
      -I do agree that there’s too much color going on. The orange and blue boots and belt stand out too much.
      -I’d also suggest that the braviary headress needs to be done up more, like it could be bigger. The head also seems a tiny bit too small.
      -Some thicker black lines on the pokeball shield

      I like the idea though, and maybe even play around with the starters in the design more

  2. I would catch Lugia, but thats too much effort for me.. Plus the heat index sas no going outside unless you want to die soooo I’ll pass on the Lugia. Speaking of Lugia. It’s in game model is good except its neck! Ugh Why does its neck sway like that. It ruins the whole model?
    What are some Pokemon that 3D models have ruined?
    (IMO 3D Models make the pokemon look so soulless like they barely express any emotion or dont see as powerful as sprites)

  6. I have to say, Niantic has really been promising the past couple months.

    Great irl events, beautiful new gym features and systems, raids are very fun, and the impending generation 3 update along with trading and PvP battles.

    This gets me VERY excited that Pokemon Go will not be a stale spinoff but something that is a true Pokemon experience for all. In fact, all of these ideas aren’t even the full length of what Niantic has in store. I’m still very hopeful for this game, and glad to see legendaries coming out!

  7. It’s interesting how different Ultra Beasts have different Ultra Spaces…. I wonder if it means anything for USUM

    ahahhahahahaahahaha
    Of course it doesn’t
    Even me who said “USUM will be the best game in the series!” Is starting to lose hope….

  19. I don’t wanna sleep I wanna play Splatoon urghggggg

    Also pretty big flaw with the Splatnet app. It doesn’t tell you how many coins you have when you go to buy items
