New Pokémon in Corocoro Trailer?!

Japanese comic Corocoro has recently uploaded a new trailer for Pokémon Sun & Moon and in it is a very brief glimpse at what appears to be a new Pokémon. The Pokémon appears to be some sort of canine/feline species (seen in the image below on the left). Could it be a new Eevee evolution early-on dog Pokémon similar to Lillipup?

New Pokémon

Very reminiscent of Espurr being found before having been officially announced!

  1. Das Fluffën !!! In my head that’s German for Dog, in reality it’s just not haha.

    Seriously tho a nice early normal type dog but not as robust as Stoutland would be welcome 🙂 Cats have had there time by now haha

    • why would another dog be a problem with all the breed of dog we have, in the real world, there would be many a breed in the poke world as well.

    • I would like to see more dogs, there is much potential….and it looks like one. Maybe a husky or a similar dog…

    • Speaking of bugs I have a insane idea for a Bug/Ground Type
      A literal Rhinoceros Beetle
      A massively pachyderm with a tough beetle shell and horns
      I mean people might call it a Rhyhorn Heracross fusion but I still like the concept

  2. So our little mystery Pokemon seems to be mammalian in nature
    Either cross with a Doe and a Rabbit
    Prominent Ears or Horns
    Quadruped
    Pink brown coat with some kind of fluffy collar
    I can deduce (heheheh Duce) it is a normal type
    But too early to say regional rodent

    Reply
  3. I’m guessing that it is the starting rodent-like animal. I wouldn’t mind another dog similar to Stoutland. I’m guessing this is the beginning area of the game. I seriously can’t wait (yet again) for next month’s issue.

    • I’m going to answer as I imagine you meant me as sunny lol Well for one, Serebii mentioned that a video was going to be posted by CoroCoro this weekend. I guess they said something last month about it, but it was swept under the rug for whatever reason……..oops I probably shouldn’t mention that name after earlier today hahaha Either way I saw about it on twitter

    • There is more than one Sunny in this jungle. Although I haven’t been that active due to university as of recently.

  4. They wouldn’t have fully evolved Eevees in the first hometown. It’s more than likely the local dog to be caught in the first route.

  6. What is everyone’s biggest fear about the games? Mine is not including difficulty options, and to make it even worse, a game as easy as X and Y. Seriously, they did this once before, so why did they ditch it? I would prefer to have it available at the start and not have it depend on what version you buy, but either way, they need to include this.

    Reply
    • I’m scared of the final starter evolution, of having a map too linear, boring and uncharismatic characteres, not enough new pokemon and more than everything, I’m scared that the game will be too eay :/

      Reply
      • I am fearful of lot of things in this game, but above all, I want difficulty options, or at least a game as hard as DPPt.

        Reply
        • Yeah same! The “difficulty” of X&Y was ridiculous. Gym leaders and regular trainers didn’t even felt differents… It was a real bummer. Unfortunately, I just think it’ll only get eaier and easier :/

          Reply
    • I have the same fear I hoping it’s not as easy like X/Y. In fact I’m hoping GameFreak don’t do anything like X/Y with Sun and Moon. I’m keep my expectations very low with this game, I don’t want to want to be severly disappointed like I was with X/Y.

      Reply
          • Hhahahha Yveltal was such a disapointment, it made his great entrance just to be caught after 2 balls, ridiculous. I don’t get why they drop the difficulty this low, I hope we’ll be able to choose our difficulty degree (hard mode please!)

          • Me too because the easy mode of the game will start to become a problem for me, sooner or later :/

    • Literally two things (ATM)
      Popplio being a potential Fairy
      And less then 6 fully Evolved Ground Types; I pledged to do Ground Monos of every and XY denied me that with only 2, and since I don’t use Legends I only had Diggersby which I used in XY and is now a sickening meme

      Reply
    • This is meh. I like the art but I really want Litten to be like a Puma or slim Tiger. A lot of people make it look like a bulky fire tiger but I like the sleek design of a puma….

      Reply
  7. This is very off topic, but I want to give my thoughts on the circus starter evolution theory. I, for one, am against it, but I will have no problem with this as long as it is EXTREMELY subtle. If they go all out with it, if it turns out to be real, this would ruin the starters for me. If there are very subtle hints, such as Popplio doing tricks (which he already does), or Rowlet being sophisticated and fancy, or even just Litten having a fire ring move, then I have no problem with it. My fear is that they go all out.

    Reply
  8. So if this decryption is in fact correct
    Rowlet is Grass/Flying
    Litten will be a Ground/Fire (which makes zero sense giving it primarily Ground)
    And Popplio Water/Fighting

    Overall I can say I’m thrilled and enjoying the chaos, Ground and Fighting go with me like that *snap*

  9. Skiddo was also seen before it was revealed. These are intentional on Pokemon’s part, to increase interest. We now have four unnamed/unannounced Gen 7 Pokemon, including legendaries!

    Reply
    • yeah there’s a long line of history of pokemon being seen before reveals
      I remember when lucario was such an awesome pokemon in the mystery of mew movie that I was pumped for Gen 4

      Reply
      • I think they should have put a Gen 7 Pokemon in last year’s movie, because we were kept in complete silence until this February’s CoroCoro with Magearna’s reveal. I know we’re all excited and hyped now, but for a whole 12 months our potential hype was being wasted.

  10. As I am in the early stages of restarting my Soulsilver, I have quickly realized how bad/mediocre a majority of the Johto pokemon really are..

    Reply
  11. I don’t really like Fire Ground and I don’t like fighting types in starters anymore… so if these are true Rowlet is my choice!

  12. What are some of your pokemon pet peeves?

    I usually pick water types. So I never get to use Lapras in the games I can get it easily in and I really like Lapras.

    Also when you put up a repel and you still encounter pokemon because the front member is low leveled

      • I’ve managed to go through Pokemon Heartgold without grinding for a long period of time yet
        I was about 10 levels under lance’s strongest pokemon at the elite four but I pulled through
        it was worth for me cuz i just really really don’t like grinding >_<

    • Grinding for Ralts on route 102.

      Must have played through Emerald like 20 times, never left Route 102 till Ralts was mine.

      Reply
    • 1) Grinding
      2) Saving cool pokemon until late into the game and then when you get to them they’re massively under leveled, forcing you to grind…..-_-
      3) Pokemon that should be able to learn fly but can’t!
      4) Pokemon with terrible stats. Why do they exist if they’re unusable?
      5) Gym Leaders/E4 members with pokemon that aren’t part of the type they specialize in…
      6) NO DARK GYM

      Reply
        • Stupid Bruno. I’ve thought of another: HM’s. Honestly just replace them with TM’s that mimic the attack power of surf/fly and designate a 5th slot for these moves so that they’re unusable in battle but don’t have to take up a slot. Or just give us key items instead? Weed wacker, Flashlight, iron fists, teleporter, swimsuit, rebreather?

          Reply
      • I actually don’t mind 5 when they have some sort of moves that are related to the location of the gym leader and have a moveset with those type of moves.

        Like the 8th gym in D/P

    • This would so be me. Kukui is ridiculously hot!!!!! Game freak is finally blessing us with someone even hotter than Sycamore and THANK GOD!!!!!!! My gay self needed this. When I saw the newest trailers for the first time, I prayed that he will be our professor. Cuz it seems that u will stay in constant communication with him (again, thank God…….. Just seeing his shirtlessness on a daily…… UNNNNH!!!!) like I just can’t wait.

      • He is heavily influenced by most of the local guys here in Hawaii. I guess that’s why I don’t find him too attractive. I see these types of men so often. If you want some Kukui action, move to the big island of Hawaii!! Lol 🙂

  13. Do you guys play Nuzlockes? I’ve never done so before, and I was wondering if you guys thought it was fun to do. What did you like, what did you hate? Etcetera.

    • I’ve tried but I’ve never been successful
      I like the random catch aspect of it where you catch your first pokemon and then you have to power through with it
      but the concept of perma-death can be destructive when your starter goes down
      It can be kinda disheartening

        • Yeah. I dont know why I get bored because I like the thought of trying new pokemon. The farthest I got in a nuzlocke was in Platinum when I got to Oreburg city

      I was having a good time getting through the elite four and then suddenly full blown dragon-types
      I think I just stopped playing the game at that point, which is why i didn’t finish it until my marathon

    • It was in my first game ever, Sapphire, The Rival battle, under the Cycling Road a.k.a. “bridge”, south of Mauville, near the Trick House.

      That was my only wall, the rest, I was old enough to know. 😐

      In the Alpha Sapphire version of that fight, I already had a Taillow ready to destroy the rival. 😀

  15. Crap. I just got my PS4 (finally), but I realize now that it doesn’t come with a vertical stand. That’s kinda important to me. I hope I can find a store that sells those stands.

  16. According to the folks at Bulbagarden forums, the starter typings could be Grass/Ground, Fire and Water/Fighting, not Grass/Flying, Ground/Fire and Water/Fighting. That’s why the Ground icon is between the flying and fire icons, because Rowlet changes types.

    It sorta makes sense, since Rowlet’s final stage could be based on a burrowing owl, but I hope you guys are right, I want Litten to become a dual type.

    Reply
        • Why the schadenfreude? We should be on the same team,, starter-wise, this time. 😀

          I was moving from the possibility of a Fire/Ground kitty to the possibility of a Grass/Ground owl, BTW…

          Oh wait, you’re picking the Water one this time. Heh heh heh.

          Reply
          • Who cares I like Fighting types too, and if Litten ends up ground I can just use it in my Moon Ground mono

            Besides things could change, but I don’t jump ship often

      • They haven’t revealed it, people looked deep into it and found it. Officially, we’re not supposed to know this yet.

        They’ll only reveal the starter evos around September/October.

    • Ew No that sounds awful, even worse Litten becoming fire ground, no thanks.
      If one of them becomes ground I’ll pick the other

      what, are we treating them like legit insiders now? lmao

      Just wait until we get the next stage of evolutions guys, it’s close to impossible to tell without that. I mean who would have thought Froakie would be water/dark? Or Piplup be water/steel?

  19. Feels weird to finally be doing this (been stalking all of your conversations since 2013), but hello everyone! My name’s Tevis and I’m 23 years old. I currently live in Hawaii (born and raised), so if you have any questions about it feel free to ask! I’m part Japanese / Caucasian / Portuguese, an art student attending the University of Hawaii at Hilo, and gay.

    Obviously we are all here for Pokemon so here are some Poké-related facts about myself: I’ve been playing since its release in America (I was 6 years old and played blue version), my favorite Pokemon is Lopunny, and I will most likely be picking Popplio for my starter in SM. K. I want to get to know all of you! So please tell me about yourselves! 🙂

    Oh! And I think the new Pokemon showed in the Corocoro trailer looks like a shiba.

  20. Also another normal type deer or dog? How about switching things up and making it ice.

    Anyone else see fighting type in Solgaleo?

  21. I feel ok while knowing Litten will not being Fire/Ground type …..but I feel sorry for Rowlet and the grass lovers.

  22. I hope they make a bunch of new moves this generation and revamp a lot of pokemon’s movepools. I want a special based ground-type move similar to earthquake called Mudslide. Some power and accuracy just make it special.

    Reply
    • I still want my Blindside attack which is basically a Dark physical Futuresight but it randomly triggers 1-3 turns so risk reward kind of thing

      Reply
    • I’d like to see a fairy type equivalent to Draco meteor, maybe with stars dripping light on the opponent…. And more status dragon type moves, physical fairy moves. A really strong dark type attack. A grass or bug variation of earthquake…. More physical psychic attacks. Maybe a new status condition…

      Reply
      • I like these ideas. Bug definitely needs more strong attacks and Fairy needs a few more physical attacks. I’d like to see a bug type trolling move called Hive Mind. If your opponent has any bug Pokemon on their team then your bug Pokemon takes control of them and makes them attack the other trainers Pokemon on the field

  23. Proposed changes to ice types:

    1.Make them resist more types. Fairy, Fighting, Grass, Ice and Water.

    2. No longer weak to fighting.

    3. Add more boosts in hail

    4. Stop making defensive ice types/glass cannons. More pokemon like Froslass and less like bulky icebergs

    Reply
      • With gusto
        Fairy really doesn’t serve a reason to why they shouldn’t damage it normally what you think they would just freeze on contact
        I can see a similar state with grass but honestly I can see a log bashing ice to chunks and vines whiping it apart,
        Ice already resists ice
        And for Water, Water is a state of Ice and it can melt the water or at least strike the ice, not enough to effectively kill it but just enough to hurt it

        Reply
        • Why does grass resist electric, you seem to have a good idea about this type thing and I’ve always wondered.

          Reply
        • I agree with ice being super effective against water. They should also make Acid and Acid Spray super effective against steel types like freeze dry is against water

          Reply
    • I think that Ice types should resist Grass, Ice, and Water. Those make sense. I think it should be super-effective against water types, have a boost in hail (like speed or something) and have boosts in stats of ice types.

      Overall, I love ice a lot (especially the designs of some, but it is a really poor type in battle and wish that GameFreak capitalizes on this and makes a move.

      Reply
      • You know i thought about how to boost ice types without making them too op. So i thought, why not make hail remove the weakness of ice types, kinda like delta stream?

  24. Why does everyone suddenly think Rowlet will be ground type? I mean, I know the ground image comes first, but couldn’t the icons just be a random order?

  25. How many new Pokemon does everyone think will be in this generation? I think 80/90 would be a good number and hopefully less then 5 legendaries

    Reply
    • Yeah.. I kind of doubt they will ever go back to large quantities of new Pokes again.. unfortunately.
      But if the new ones are very potent.. as in all good. Then I’ll be fine. Last gen was pretty good

      Reply
      • Reese’s we had like 3 years of creative build up
        Like Casc said they probably spent more time doing all the 3D graphics and Megas to give us more “new” Pokemon

        Reply
      • Last gen had pretty good Pokemon but the problem was that there was only One Ground pokemon(Diggersby) and one bug type line(Vivillon) they need more diversity and not 65 new water types

        Reply
      • Last gen was good in terms of the Megas, fossils, box art legendaries. But they also introduced barbacle my absolute least favourite Pokemon I hate it so much

          • Aurorus is just so beautiful. It needs a mega evolution where it grows even taller with huge sails running its whole body with a hidden ability making weaknesses resistances

          • I loved them both but though Aurorus was more creative. I’m hoping for more then just two fossil Pokemon this generation

          • Unrelated to Pokemon but are you excited for the FF7 remake? I was until they said they’re making it into episodes

          • I just started playing a week ago, lol
            It’s very good. I don’t have a PS4 so I dunno if I can get the remake, but I’m hyped nonetheless.

            I don’t really mind the episodic thing too much, it depends on how it’s handled.

    • I hope around 100 with lots of diversity and new type combinations/ Pokemon inspirations. Also, challenge type stereotypes. Make a physically strong ghost type, a defensive fire type etc.

      Reply
    • I think 85/95 (although I really want 100) and then probably 10-15 megas. I included the number of legendaries as well.

      I also agree with Moonlight Marble. I’d love to see maybe a speedy rock type and a slow and defensive fighting type (would be interesting).

  26. I hope that in the future they make a generation that takes place millions of years ago. Imagine how amazing the Pokemon would look in prehistoric times. Wild Tyrantrum and Aerodactly 😉

      Not with Yo-Kai Watch out

      Reply
      • It would be interesting as a dungeon game but they’d have to add a bunch of prehistoric Pokemon to a main game since they wouldn’t add new Pokemon to a side game before a main series game. Also it would be interesting to see how you would catch Pokemon back then

        Reply

    • Me too! Delphox was Fire/Psychic, a ground-breaking typing since Victini and Zen Mode Darmanitan were previously the only other Pokemon with that combination. The only way to top that is to promote an entirely new combination altogether. I’m going to choose Litten regardless, but Fire/Poison would make my decision so much sweeter.

      1.He is ur cousin and serves as an early guide to your adventure
      2.He is prof. Hala’s assistant
      3.He is the professor
      4.He is the champion
      5.He is part of the evil team, likely the boss or an admin
      6.He is not ur cousin and that is just a way to say “man”, “dude” or “mate” in the alola region
      7.He has nothing to do in the story after he sees u choose the starters and u never see him again in the game(this one’s really unlikely)
      8.Gym leader
      Ps: Go team litten!

      Reply
      • Well I’ve got a hunch that Kukui isn’t literally the protagonist’s cousin. As in not really related. “Cousin” is just something people call each other in Hawaii.

        Reply
        • So I guess that makes #6 more plausible, I also think he isn’t ur cousin as it wouldn’t make much sense if u choose the blonde and white protagonists, which is also why I believe that the lady shown in the trailer isn’t ur mom

          Reply
          • Well I don’t want him to be a random guy calling us cousin though. My vote is prof’s assistant, or prof as well along with Hala. Since Kukui is also a tree.

          • Well Grace was still your mother in XY regardless of what skin tone you chose so the same might apply here

          • Grace’s skintone changed depending on ur character’s, if u chose the dark skinned character she was dark skinned as well but this lady appears dark skinned while the character from the trailer is white

          • You are mistaken her skin never changed no matter how dark or pale the character you chose. It always stayed the default color

          • Never mind apparently her skin tone stays the same, idk I always thought that my grace looked darker than my friend’s grace

  33. I thought of this for Popplio’s final evo Cirquedeleo
    Long sleek body with long powerful flippers each with a flat finger, it has a long ruffle around its neck similar to its first form but with a pointy bit throughout it and on the long bit a pink bauble, it’s tail each fin is wide enough to support it, now for the head it retains its white muzzle and large pink nose, but now has long eye markings similar to eye paint and it has two long jester cap like horns”
    Since the data hack we may see Popplio become a Fighting type, but more graceful and precise

    I’m getting back into drawing later today, so I will try to draw this

    Reply
  34. I just noticed something. When Hala is giving you your Pokemon and is zooms out and pans over to show you there’s another person behind and to right (from our perspective). It almost looks like they’re wearing a white dress and a hat. I’d take a screenshot, but for whatever reason disqus doesn’t want to upload the pics. It happens at 20 seconds in the CoroCoro video. and presumably at the same scene during the English trailer too.

    • As I said before, the new games’ campaign hasn’t been focused on mega-evolution… at all so this might point to a more traditional route for GameFreak. Not many like my theory about Ash-Greninja being the NATURAL form of mega-evolution that human and Pokemon can reach together but for the Kalos and 6th generation dimension, this process was quickened and flawed by the mega-stones and rings. Who knows, this generation just keeps getting better and better.

      • I don’t want fusion evolution at all. I think it’s a lame idea, but there has to be a reason Ash Greninja is a thing. It can’t just be for the anime… Although hopefully I’m wrong and it is…

        Reply
        • It’s not fusion in the literal sense but rather the trainer and Pokemon’s mind and heart which I think is actually much more appealing than Mega-evolution which I still LOVE.

          Reply
          • Yeah. I didn’t mean in the literal sense. It’s not White Kyurem and Black Kyurem ? But… If it is going back to Unova, where fusion was introduced… Could those “stones” in the Pokemon Sun and Moon names be that… Fusion stones… Like, what if the legends “fuse” creating an eclipse… Totally just going off the cuff here and I hope “fusion” isn’t a thing… But?

  37. I cant wait to start planning an pokemon moon story mode team! I remember my x version team!

    Chesnaught
    Vivillon
    Arorous
    Dragalge
    Aromatisse
    Aegislash

  38. One of the best reasons as to why I love generation 4 so immensely is due to how old Pokemon received evolutions and pre-evolutions and they added so much to the Pokemon lore and world. To me, X and Y felt a little disconnected from the Pokemon world and didn’t add a lot to the pre-existing lore of Pokemon. I hope generation 7 fixes that.

  39. My first X team was:

    Greninja
    Charizard
    Scizor (Mega)
    Howlucha
    Malamar
    Umbreon

    My Y team is:

    Delphox
    Charizard
    Samurott
    Abamosnow (Mega)
    Pangoro
    Beartic

        • That’s why I expected one in XY. Dragon/Fairy combo seemed pretty natural. But it was the second generation in a row to not feature any old Pokémon evolutions aside from Sylveon, which was very disappointing in my opinion. SM needs to have some fresh evolutions instead of only Mega’s.

      Eeveelutions should keep being a thing

      Yes some of these have megas but I hope that won’t be a barrier someday, it’s perfectly tenable for both to coexist for a same pokémon.

  40. I wonder what type of Tobias-rip-off they’re going to conjure up now that Ash Greninja is going to be mastered in a few weeks and a few weeks after that is the League.

    Reply
      • So Brock from the parallel french anime universe is coming to whoop Ash’s derrière in the league? Get hype!

        Reply
    • Well, I have two theories. If Ash can’t figure out how to stop passing out, I think Ash-Greninja won’t be used unless Ash makes it really far such as the semi-finals (because of the risk of passing out). However, he loses because of it.

      Or

      The other theory is Ash learns how to not pass out, and makes it really really far. But obviously gets beaten pretty bad with a legendary or mega- evolution.

      But either way I feel like Ash will get very far, possibly farther than any spot in the league ever. But let’s see!

      Reply
      • That would put him in the final. Hopefully.

        Honestly the only thing I want is a good league. A good number of battles, at least 3 6v6s, 2 3v3s (not montages), a couple of doublr battles, Pokemon rotations, maybe a couple of evolutions (Totadile, Snivy).

        Reply
          • My favourite League this far was Hoenn (3 6v6s), followed by Johto and Sinnoh (2 6v6s).

            Unova was just a waste

          • Every League would be better if there wasn’t that random break episode in a the middle that has no battles in it. If i recall there is always at least 1 of those for every league. They also only need to montage Ash’s rival’s battles against random trainers and not to montage Ash’s battles. I also want Ash to battle ALL of his rivals (both sinnoh and unova messed that up). But my favorite is Sinnoh, Hoenn/Johto, then Kanto/Unova

      • That’s the best part
        I love that adorable honker, and the ability to blow balloons out of water shows this Pokemon has a knack for flashy battling
        Though I am a terrifying physical force battler I still love creative attacks and this power gives me so much to work with
        Which is why I’m excited to start with Popplio

        Reply
    • For me, it’s not that Popplio isn’t popular, I love it. But, it scares me he could turn clownish, which would suck

      Reply
      • Let this image swivel in your mind
        Popplio’s final evo using powerful backflips and slaps the opponent with its mighty tail and flippers, blowing a massive bubble to vault itself into the air doing a trapeze spin and doing all these beautiful jumps flips and graceful acts like a Chinese opera fighter but looking like those cirque de sola people

        Reply
        • That’s fine but I don’t want a clown! When I first saw the starters I was drawn too Litten and Popplio. As I watched more and more, I was drawn more to Rowlet over Popplio because I just don’t like clowns. I hope that’s not the direction they take these guys in… We don’t need a theme. Just make them all amazing and monsters and beats and blow us away. If Popplio’s evolutions are great I’ll stick with it as one of my starters, with Litten as the other starter

          Reply
      • I get that, it looks a bit like a clown, but until we’re not sure it evolves into a clown, we can love it, right?
        If it were to evolve into a clown-like Pokemon, I’d instantly put it on the bottom of my list.

  42. Hey all, so now that the starters have been revealed… How do you think they’ll stack up to the previous region’s starters? And, have any of Alola’s starters replaced your previous favorites? Whose your favorite starter ever?

    Reply
    • Well litten replaced fennekin as my second favorite(1st being snivy) because litten is more lit than delphox, i was srsly disappointed when i saw delphox fennekin had so much potential :'(

      Reply
    • People will mostly depend on Final evolutions to see if they like the new starters or not. I personally like them, and if Popplio’s evolution turns out promising, I could see it becoming a pokemon I would like.
      My personal favorite starter is Chespin

      Reply
      • Well it’s your opinion but personally gen 5 had better starters than gen 6 especially comparing Chesnaught to serperioi

        Reply
        • Yep it’s my opinion. I always thought Gen 2 and 5 had lacklustre starters, Gen 1 and 6 were average, and Gen 3 and 4 are my favourite.

          Reply
          • My least favorite starter is chikorita but I don’t have a reason for it, I just don’t like it

    • My favorite starters come from Generation Three or Four. I typically lean towards the side of Generation Three. So, if I were to rank them:
      1. Gen 3, 2. Gen 4, 3. Gen 7, 4. Gen 1, 5. Gen 6, 6. Gen 5, 7. Gen 2

      My favorite starter depends on the region. Yet again, I’m going to split it up into Gens:
      1. Charmander, 2. Totodile, 3. erm… this is hard, 4. Piplup, 5. Snivy or Oshawott, 6. Chespin or Fennekin, 7. Litten

      Reply
    • Gens, ranked based on the quality of all three starters combined:
      1. Gen 4
      2. Gen 1
      3. Gen 5
      4. Gen 3
      5. Gen 7
      6. Gen 2
      7. Gen 6

      Individual starter top 5 (also based on final evo’s):
      1. Piplup
      2. Oshawott
      3. Charmander
      4. Turtwig
      5. Chimchar

      For now, the gen 7 starters are not in my top 5, but perhaps the final evolutions can change that (I hope so).

  43. What do you guys want/think the gym leaders to be for Sun/Moon? These are all based off the names we saw in the video:

    ~ Gym 1, Caitlin which means “pure” – Normal or Fairy
    ~ Gym 3, Pablo which means “little” or “small” – Water or Grass
    ~ Gym 5, Hoku which is a Hawaiian name meaning “star” – Psychic or Dark
    ~ Gym 7, Ed which means “prosperous protecter” in French – Dragon

    Reply
    • People don’t think those are the leaders names but there are eight altogether and four visible ones. There were more than 8 kids in the class for sure…

  44. What do we think of these evolutions for the Alola starters? I know they’re fake, but just what do you think? The second picture would be cool, and I’d be picking Popplio and Litten based on these (I know we’ve seen these before, but I haven’t seen the second evolution yet). And the last pic is just cute. I really hope we do pick up whatever starter we pick and give it a great big hug!

    Reply
    • Well I kind of like the bird and the cat, but I hate how they did the seal. 🙁 It just got a whole lot more creepy looking for me. LOL
      Although I hope that Litten’s real evo stays on all fours this time, I’m kind of tired of all the fire starters ending up on two leg’s.

    • The first set look more like digimon than Pokemon
      I really like what the artist did with the second lot (I really like the art and colouring style), would totally had a hard time choosing if the starter evos are anything like the third stage ones

    • If you look at the Alola region shown in the trailer, you can possibly spot some. Look at where the pokemon center is, where the paved road becomes dirt. Keep following this dirt road to the very edge of the island, and it heads straight up. At the end of the road, there’s some dark green shading. That MIGHT be tall grass, just because it seems so (it’s rectangular, etc.)

          • that’s not pkmn center by the way pkmn center is above of this pic.
            but the ara that u have been circled it was shown in the trailer …..did u remember the slope area? no grass on ther it’s just darker spot.

          • Yeah, but I don’t think it’s that because there’s ocean to the right of you. If you go down the slope near the top pink circle, the ocean would be to the left of you.

  47. I kinda hope sky battles don’t return. Trying to beat them all with just Talonflame was torture. Especially when they were using shit like emolga…that’s really not cool.

    It can use its powerful arms to vault itself into the air and deliver a slap that can shatter stone, always striving to perfect it’s performance it trains its body to be agile and precise
