Klara’s outfit has me thinking and it has me thinking quite a bit. Some points:

(Official Art) Her bow reminds me very much of a Dustox (Gen. 3, Bug/Poison)

(Official Art) The idea? Her outfit is foreshadowing a Ghost/Poison Galarian Form.

• Peppered Moth
  

• In the 1800s, evolution came to action within a human lifetime as moths became darker-colored in order to blend in with the soot-colored tree bark as pollution leeched into the environment
• In order for this change to occur, a lot of the original moth population had to die off, perhaps resulting in a normally white appearance and a ghost motif

• Purple Emperor Butterfly
• Rare South-English butterflies that are primarily purveyors of rotting flesh (butterflies, like horses, are opportunistic carnivores, but rotting meat and ripened cheese is how people bait these butterflies out from trees)
• Thus the tendency towards leeching or poison

• Longtailed Lepidoptera
• The real difference between a butterfly and a moth is dinural v. nocturnal. Moths don’t tend to be as brightly colored because, in the dark, there is less imperative to have useful visual adaptations.
  
• Luna moths are an exception, for example, and they are very pretty gals! Remind me of frosmoth and might be why its shiny is green.
  

•  Planchettes
• A repeated teardrop pattern with a circle on the end reminds me a lot of the planchettes on ouija boards
• It repeats on Klara’s bracelets and the ‘tails’ of her hairbow, which may be tails on G-Dustox’s wings

• “a small board supported on casters, typically heart-shaped and fitted with a vertical pencil, used for automatic writing and in seances.” - Oxford Dictionary
• Thus tying in with the ghost inspiration
• They were particularly popular for Victorian-era seances

Anyway I’m going to write about this absolutely thank you for coming to my TEDTalk

I keep seeing people confused about the DLC price, 

the DLC come in an expansion pass which mean if you buy it you get access to both of the DLC* (Isle of Armor + Crown Tundra), for a cost of around 30$ (pretty standard price) 

The DLC are different for Sword & Shield though, if you want the DLC for both game you’ll need to buy each version of the pass for 60$ but as often the differences shouldn’t be to big (different pokémons, different trainers, etc…) 

*once they’re available, obviously

jadeazora:

Some Mons from the Hi-Res Isle of Armor and Crown Tundra art. Psyduck and Golduck confirmed, and I think that’s the roadrunner Zapdos on the cliff there.

Also, the legendary birds have always been some of my favorites mons ever, I can’t believe they managed to make me like them even more like wow 

Galar Zapdos? Like boy, such a cool design and Moltres color scheme and Articuno going laser beam with it’s eyes 

10/10 wow
