"Regardless of what you think of Meltan, it probably had the best reveal out of a mythical Pokemon thus far"

I'm probably in the minority here but I feel like meltan had one of the best reveals out of any mythical Pokemon. Most mythical Pokemon end up getting Datamined long before the official reveal and we know literally everything about them so by the time that the new trailer of the mythicals were released we already knew about them and therefore they're not as special to us. Even if you ignored the datamining there's literally no in-game event for most mythical Pokemon as of late so in the end up just feeling even empty once you get it. Kind of like yeah the yeah I got it now go away.Meltan however is interesting as well as it did get data-mine we only knew about the model. That's it. We had no idea what type it was going be (to be fair a lot of people did guess it would be Steel but it was mostly paired with one other type) it's movepool or even its name. Then they just started randomly appearing in the Overworld of Pokemon go causing a lot of speculation in the Pokemon community. Not even people who worked at the game Freak "know about it. Though to be fair they might have known about it they could have just been messing with us. Then the trailer finally it confirming that it wasn't a placeholder.This isn't even mentioning the tons of theories about Meltan about it being connected to ferrofluid or being connected to ditto. Meltan is the first mythical Pokemon in a while that actually had proper build-up, and for once it actually paid off. via /r/pokemon https://ift.tt/2ObD02j
