“My bet is either Unova with Complete Forme Kyurem, or Alola digging deep into Ultra Necrozma. And I'd love a system where you fuse with a Pokémon and control the Pokémon itself directly.”
イッシュでキュレム完全体出すか、アローラでウルネク深掘るかじゃないかと思ってます。 ポケモンと融合してポケモン本体を操作できるみたいなシステムが欲しいなと。

“I want to see old-era Johto, and I'm curious about the true nature of the legendary beasts (Raikou, Entei, Suicune) before they were revived — so I'd love something set 150 years before Gold & Silver.”
ジョウトの昔の情景見たいし蘇る前の三犬の正体も気になるから金銀の150年前はやりたい

Losing the trust of a Friendship-evolved Pokémon — the literal symbol of a Pokémon being deeply attached to its trainer — is the kind of dignity-destroying ending that feels obvious in hindsight but the franchise had somehow never actually done before.
なつき進化というトレーナーに良く懐いているということの象徴であるポケモンとの信頼を失うというありそうで今まで無かったポケモン界きっての尊厳破壊な末路。
There'd probably be super strict laws for owning fire types. Flame-resistant building materials, or having to keep a water type alongside them.
ほのおタイプを飼う時とかめちゃくちゃ厳しい法令とかありそう 難燃性の建材とか水タイプと同時に飼うとか
For Alola it's gotta be a trip to the past with Ultra Necrozma, right?
アローラは過去行って完全体ネクロズマやろなぁ
A side character's Dachsbun was abandoned after its trainer used the item just a little — so the fact that it took THIS much abuse before Umbreon finally gave up on Spinel means their bond was no ordinary bond. Which is exactly what makes it so brutal.
バウッツェルのトレーナーが少し使っただけで見放されてたのに対して、あれだけ使いまくってようやくスッピーを見放したブラッキーの絆は並大抵のもんじゃなかったってことよな それ故に悲惨
I present the undisputed winner: W A I L O R D.
優勝する奴出します ホ エ ル オ ー
I'd take it even if it were a game where you travel between past and future — heck, the present too — and your past actions change the future. The kind of thing even the Nintendo Switch 2 might struggle to run. Though honestly, by the time an SV Legends actually drops, we'll be way past Switch 2 hardware anyway.
過去と未来を生き来してなんなら現代も行ける、過去の行動は未来へ影響を与える… みたいなSwitch2でもキツそうなゲームでもいい まぁsvレジェンズが出る頃にはSwitch2どころの性能じゃ無いと思うが
I was all "haha Spinel got REKT, give him more lol" — and then I see Umbreon, this absolute queen, going all the way to the prison to check on him, and I'm like… man, what a small person I am.
スピネルざまぁwwwwもっとやれと思ってたのに、刑務所にまで見に行くブラッキーの姐さんを見て、俺はなんて小さい人間だったんだってなったよね
Lord Snorlax is so soothing it physically and mentally blows away all those downsides. But to keep one IRL you'd need an absurdly huge house and infinite food, so step one: become a billionaire.
カビゴン様はその三重苦を精神的にも物理的にもふっ飛ばすぐらい癒しなんですよ でもリアルで飼うとしたらバカデカい家と無限の食料がいるのでまずは大富豪になりましょう
Legends has a more mature feel and the story is genuinely good — every Pokémon fan should give it a shot.
レジェンズは内容が大人向け ストーリーがおもしろいから、ポケモンファンは是非プレイしてみてほしい
The second they laid out what Laquium does, and given that Spinel's partner was a Friendship-evolved Umbreon, I kind of saw it coming… and yep, here we are. And the staff even circled back to give that random trainer whose bond Laquium broke a proper follow-up. Love how competent this writing is.
ラクリュウムの性質がお出しされた時点でスッピーの手持ちがなつき進化のブラッキーで何となく察してたけどやっぱりこうなったかぁ… ラクリュウムで絆壊れた演出してたモブとれもしっかり後日談突っ込んできた制作陣の有能さがいいなぁー
Hey!! Dedenne, you stole the electricity again, didn't you!! ...Tch.
こら！！デデちゃんまた盗電したでしょ!! チッ…
I really hope a Legends Galar gives us something like Professor Hop.
Legendsガラルでホップ博士とか出てくれんかな
The last thing he lost was his bond with Umbreon — but the last thing left to him was also his bond with Umbreon, huh……
最後に失ったのがブラッキーとの絆だったけど、最後に残ったのもブラッキーとの絆だったなあ……
Vaporeon melts away whenever it gets the chance, Flareon's body temp is too high, Jolteon will zap you, Espeon maybe works?, Umbreon evolves from friendship so there's a chance?, Leafeon seems peaceful, Glaceon freezes you when it's mad so that's rough, Sylveon might charm you into a daze... yeah, maybe just stick with Eevee.
シャワーズは隙あらばとけてるし ブースターは体温高すぎるし サンダースは電撃喰らっちゃうし エーフィはいけそう？ ブラッキーはなつき進化だしワンチャン？ リーフィアも平和そう グレイシアは怒ったら凍らされるからきついし ニンフィアはメロメロにさせられてしまう？ やっぱイーブイがいいかも
What — that sounds incredibly fun.
なにそれめっちゃ面白そう
I figured Umbreon showing up wasn't so much "it hasn't given up on him" as more of a "let's see if this guy's actually reflecting on what he did" kind of visit.
ブラッキーが見に来たのは見限ってないと言うよりちゃんと反省してんのかなあいつみたいな感じで見に来たんかなと思った
Magcargo's body temp is around 10,000 degrees, so keeping it as a pet isn't even on the table.
マグカルゴの体温約一万度だから飼う以前の問題だ
If they do a "Legends: Unova," I want it to land on Ghetsis being Ghetsis whether it's the past or the future lol (and if it's the past, I'd love N's parents to show up).
『レジェンズ:イッシュ』やるなら、過去でも未来でもゲーチスはゲーチスだったっていう話になってほしいw(過去なら、Nの両親とか出てほしいな)
That final Umbreon shot strikes a perfect balance — you can read it as "it drops by to check on him now and then" OR as "it took one last look and then returned to the wild."
最後のブラッキーはちょくちょく様子を見に来てるとも最後に一目見て野生に帰ったとも取れるいい塩梅だと思う。
Alongside the news cycle — new Megas, the next Legends region — Japanese fans are at their best in hypotheticals: which Pokémon you could never actually keep as a pet, or why being dumped by a friendship-evolved Pokémon is the heaviest punishment in the Pokémon world.
243 likesPokémon fans in Japan worked out which species would be impossible to keep as a real pet, and the Pokédex makes it brutal. The thread weighed Magcargo's 10,000-degree body, Wailord's size and Snorlax's grocery bill, joking that everyone in that world is just built different. Then someone names the obvious fix.
254 likesWith Pokémon Legends: Z-A out, Japanese fans are debating which region the next Legends should explore — and the comment section turned into a full-on communal wishlist. The most-liked picks split into a few camps. The runaway favorite is Unova: a top comment dreams of a Scarlet & Violet-style Legends split into "a past arc and a future arc," while others want a payoff for Complete Forme Kyurem and the Zekrom/Reshiram hero legend. Right behind it is Johto set about 150 years before Gold & Silver — "I want to see the legendary beasts' true forms before they were revived" — digging into the origins of Raikou, Entei and Suicune. Alola has a loud bloc too, betting on a trip to the past to finally unpack Ultra Necrozma and the Ultra Beasts. And the most ambitious wishlist mechanics got people dreaming big: fusing with a Pokémon to control it directly, and one fan's pitch to "travel between past, present and future where your past actions change the future" — a game so huge that, as fans joke, "even the Nintendo Switch 2 might struggle to run it." It's a light, hopeful thread, equal parts lore theory and pure fan wishlist. So: Unova, Johto, Alola — where do you want Legends to go?
338 likesPokémon Horizons: The Series wrapped its "Rising Again" arc with episode 136, "Stellar Finale" — the grand conclusion of Liko and Roy's journey — and Japan's most-liked reactions zeroed in not on the Mega Rayquaza spectacle but on the quiet gut-punch of the villain's ending. After Spinel is defeated and jailed, his lifelong partner Umbreon flicks his thrown Poké Ball aside and walks away. Japanese fans immediately read this through the franchise's own mechanics: this is an Umbreon, a Pokémon that only exists because an Eevee evolved through high Friendship — so being rejected by it is, as the top comment puts it, the single heaviest punishment the Pokémon world can hand down. From there the thread becomes a close reading of the staff's cruelty: the deliberate contrast with the lovable, never-truly-evil Team Rocket; the careful foreshadowing that Spinel's power-up item, Laquium, corrodes the very bonds Mega Evolution requires; and an unsettled debate over the final shot — when Umbreon glances at Spinel's prison cell, was it pity, lingering attachment, or pure coincidence from a Pokémon who'd already forgotten him? The argument over that one ambiguous glance is where the comment section truly lives, before someone lands the only verdict a Pokémon fan could.
