Anacybele Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 (edited) OH MY GOD I HOPE THIS IS TRUE! UNICORNS ARE MY FAVORITE AND PONYTA AND RAPIDASH ARE MY FAVORITE POKEMON NOT NAMED KELDEO!! It's definitely some kind of Ponyta because I know my Ponyta! BUT IF IT'S ALSO FAIRY TYPE, MEGA YES!! Fairy is my favorite typing after Fire and if this is actually Fire/Fairy, MORE MEGA YES!! I've been wanting that type combination FOREVER! Edited October 5, 2019 by Anacybele Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lightcosmo Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 Hmmm, so this is shaping up quite nicely after all. At first, I had my doubts but I'm reconsidering now. Still not 100% sold, yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fire Emblem Fan Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 My anticipation for Sword/Shield has been incredibly erratic. They've shown stuff I LOVE, and then stuff I HATE. I guess, honestly, just give me Totodile and I'm fine? I dunno I like the possibility of a new Ponyta, so yay? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anacybele Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 I just saw that too, OMG IT'S SO CUTE! It kinda looks like a BABY Ponyta! As in a pre-evolution! I'M SO EXCITED! I'm glad I preordered the double pack now. WORTH IT! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dai Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 Dual-color mane is...interesting. And it already has a horn, so I’m expecting a winged Rapidash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anacybele Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 (edited) IT'S STILL SO CUTE! I love it I love it I love I love it! Can't WAIT to see it EVOLVE! And I can't wait to draw it asap! I'm definitely thinking it's a pre-evolution now, it looks smaller than regular Ponyta. Bigger head and smaller body in terms of proportion.

Dai Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 (edited) Here’s a picture of two of them pulled from the latest posts on Twitter. Their mane can also glow super bright. Oh yeah, the camera cut out, followed by the sounds of galloping hooves and Rapidash’s cry. Dunno why one doesn’t have a tail.

Anacybele Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 (edited) Here's a cuter picture that also shows the glow! One's nuzzling the other omg so adorable! 😄 And the glow is SO pretty! I LOVE THIS PONYTA SO MUCH! Sorry Keldeo, but I think you've been dethroned as my favorite Pokemon. Especially if Galarian Rapidash looks just as great or better! (This screenshot isn't mine, btw.)

Foregoing the folks that are obviously gonna claim MLP, the pastel and the glow kind of remind me of the 80’s. It’s rather glamorous.

It also doesn't make me hate this either, Prenyta looks alright enough. Glam Ponyta doesn't fix everything else though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh cool; so Galarian Ponyta's a Unicorn. I've been saying they need to show more Scottish Pokémon given all the Pokémon based on English caricatures and stereotypes in this game, and now we have Scotland's National Animal. Cool. I had been predicting that there would be a Galarian Ponyta/Rapidash ever since the game was announced. I was right. But I was wrong about what it would be. I thought it would be Water & Grass Type, have a seaweed mane, and be inspired by Kelpies from Scottish Folklore. Now I just need to see a bagpipe Pokémon of some sort. Come on Galarian Loudred… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anacybele Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 If we want something else Scottish based, why not a Pokemon based on the Lochness monster? That's Scottish, isn't it? I'd say it could be a legendary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be a bit on-the-nose, but I suppose no less on-the-nose than a Tea Pokémon. I was mostly just expressing my surprise that I was right about a Galarian Ponyta/Rapidash, but wrong about what it would be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dai Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 (edited) Well, according to Famitsu, Ponyta is Shield exclusive, and has a currently unknown ability called Pastel Veil. Edited October 9, 2019 by Dai Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me too, the article suggests it’s a psychic type though, and pastel veil apparently protects and heals allies from Poison. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is now outright confirmed, which is very curious. I didn't expect Psychic but it fits it quite well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
