Willow and Oak muse on the discovery
Pokemon Gohas moved on from the shackles of a shunned Niantic experiment and into thePokemonuniverse. Professor Willow, the game’s mascot of sorts, has officially bridged the gap this past year with the questing system, leading to the full interaction betweenGoand Nintendo’s upcoming pair ofLet’s GoSwitch releases.
Now Willow is introducing a new Pokemon into the fray: Meltan. It’s a “Hex Nut Pokemon” of the steel variety, and is actuallymythicalin nature as part of theLet’s Goseries andGo, as a “transformation of Ditto.” You can find the official art below as well as the trailer introducing it.
Players have been throwing shade at what constitutes a “mythical” creature recently, with therelatively normal looking Zeraoraentering the mythical pantheon alongside of this…thing. I’ve never been one to hardcore gatekeep Pokemon (Meltan is kind of cute), but the bar for mythics is definitely different than it used to be!
