Go join the CHAT if you feel so inclined to up the hype!
It’s nice to speculate and have fun talking about pokemon on here again. This site is the best part of waiting on a new pokemon game to release
It’s so amazing to see fan art as beautiful as this uploaded so fast on the web
God, I love this thing. It’s everything I love about Noivern, but in a stunning galaxy like coat of paint
It looks like Noiverns mystical evil mom ?
Galaxy mom? Sounds good.
Inb4 someone draws a Rosalina + Lunaala mashup.
This is truly an awesome Pokemon design
where I can found those?
http://eritia-coli.deviantart.com/
But I just typed in Lunaala in deviantart to see all the cool moon legendary pokemon
I’ve seen comparisonz going around of kukui looking like JWittz, and you’re rival looking like tyranitartube, what do you guys think?
They didn’t base him off a youtuber.. lol where you find that?
#RowletForPresident2016
I am pretty sure I saw this tool before Popplio nose remind of something wat is it?
*when I say nose I mean the white part too. http://66.media.tumblr.com/a9ceec0718c95f2f9136840b5fd2343f/tumblr_o6yoj41LFS1qkz08qo2_500.gif
I’m gonna name it Dunce.
good name but that’s not my point.
The nose reminds me of a dunce cap/clown hat 😛
Rudolph?
I mean the nose alone
But the red nose is the only thing that makes Rudolph even a character. 😉
Drilbur!
looks like a badminton birdie lol
not bad.
And you know what those are also called >:D
I looked it up and started laughing instantly.
Shuttle… nevermind.
Like a horn?
I see what you mean
Is the character you’re speaking about Doraemon ?
Starter bird trios is finally complete!
Legit! Character customisation is completely returning. I hope GameFreak expands upon it. The trainer is wearing black and white striped shirt (instead of the bue stripes) and black and white pants, instead of the red and black.
Good eye. I was trying to spot this.
You already saw the choice between 8 different faces on the Japanese trailer right?
YES!! I got my wish! I wanted for either the Grass/Flying or Water/Flying to come to fruition. And it’s an adorable owl. :’D
Who wants to bet that Alomomola will be featured in the Alola region?
At the very least, Coro Coro should confirm the names of the legendaries.
Fake Grass starter by Suikuro_2011 :3
BURN IT NOW
Epic! http://orig10.deviantart.net/611e/f/2016/131/7/c/litten_sonic_stuff_by_selkra-da251om.jpg
I like the second one
1st one for me …..I really don’t believe he sharing all these thing with these characters.
Yo Shiny Xerneas event is now live in NA
dear Hyo I think Rowlet evolution would have grass coat like that.
* don’t remove anything just cuz some one didn’t like it.
🙂
ur welcome.
I don’t see an email for the HA bird trio :'(
My buzz is gone
I can’t deny my love for Litten I believe it will become like shinopi …and sneak to kill it could be fat ghost too but this one have another opinion. http://img08.deviantart.net/7b70/i/2016/131/b/c/litten_evos_by_blackmailchan-da24jq2.png
I can see Litten being either Fire/Rock or Fire/Poison if it’s dual typed.
I don’t believe in that …it’s just dark or ghost.
I’m hoping for the latter
ehhhh I need something leaner…. like a puma
the real one could be like that.
I’m hoping it stays sleek and feline. Solely because another bulky fire type big cat would be overkill when given Solgaleo. I want it to look like Liepard but with red stripes and a really long tail and whiskers which are burning at the end. Someone made s really interesting suggestion it could be a poison type given the reference to ‘oil’ in its description, which probably says a lot given Fennekins description mentioned it eating twigs and it ended up with a fire wand.
can use dex entry as a hint to know wat net evolution would be like but oil isn’t poison when they say:” doesn’t show its emotions on the surface” that’s would mean a lot.
Worst case scenario with Rowlet:
It’s final form is unable to learn Fly. D:
Worst case scenario with Litten:
It’s final form is Fire/Fighting.
Worst case scenario with Popplio:
It’s final form is Water/Fairy.
Don’t get me wrong, it’s adorable, but it doesn’t need to be
Water/Fairy.
Finally someone thinking logically
I wouldn’t mind Water/Fairy typing for Pipplio. I want something else, but it does look rather fairy-ish
Really? I see it as staying singular. But if it gets a second typing, it may relate to its clown-like appearance.
Oh no… Mr. Mime looks like a clown, and we know what they did to it… D:
I think it would be really cool to see a part fairy starter To be honest!
Yep, I can’t have this new upstart take over Azumarill’s competitive niche. <3
Legendary typings?
Sun : Probably pure fire
Moon: Fairy/Dragon
[Lunaala] looks like a:
Ghost-type
Dark-type
Water-type?
Ice-type
Steel-type
It can be a combo of any of the above, or plot twist: it’s none of the above.
Ground/Rock confirmed
You forgot flying and fairy.
Lunaala looks like
Flying/Ghost
Flying/Fairy
Fairy/Ghost, Fairy/Dark with Levitate
…or the first Triple-Type? Flying/Ghost/Fairy?
I totally want Lunaala to be a Ghost-type, but 6th gen made us relate the moon with the fairies. So maybe Ghost/Fairy… And Solgaleo could be pure Fire-type. I’m ok with that.
Ghost/fairy would be sweet
We should guess which starter will be the next Greninja/Charizard!
I have a feeling Litten will be sweet. But Rowlit has a lot of potential too.
I’m actually goona say Popplio. I think it is going to have an awesome evolution
I’m gonna say Litten but it’s really up in the air
It really seems like Litten will be the most interesting choice design-wise. I’m really conflicted with this answer because all three starters have such great potential.
I swear, Rowlet better have a butler motif in its evolutions.
No, I want him to grow a leaf top hat and monocle!
That’s still a butler, right?
the real mvp
I think there’s a good chance that CoroCoro will leak tonight. I’m expecting no more than the names of the legendaries in terms of new info.
Yeah I can’t imagine very much else being revealed after all this. Plus I think the preview description for this month’s CoroCoro didn’t say anything in particular about Pokemon so it’s possible we won’t get really anything.
I don’t think there will be more info revealed, do you?
Just another awesome fanart I stumbled across on tumblr
Okay… So now that the starters have been revealed, lets hear your Sun and Moon characters! What’s his or her name(s), what is their personality, what starter do they pick, does the starter have a nickname, why did he/she pick that starter…
I have two versions. Pokemon Sun is Philip and he has Litten. He is fun and friendly and a true hero. Pokemon Moon is Philip’s sister, Aurora and her Popplio. She’s a little bratty but not in a negative way, she just is a true princess.
***Because Rowlett is really growing on me, this could change, and Popplio could be swapped for Rowlett… Just have to wait and see what they all evolve into…
