    • Discovered….feh probably stole it from 4Chan, Reddit or Us
      We were all over this stuff and we’re the best speculators around

    • After ORAS, where we had Mega Camerupt and Primal Groudon, a Fire/Ground starter seems really annoying…also that x4 water weakness is not good at all due to water moves being everywhere in the metagame and if you think to aqua jet with priority, things go even worse

      Reply
      • As a Ground Type specialist I can concur but that is easily evaporated with the idea that Fire/Ground always resulting in Lava Based Pokemon and since Litten’s face resembles the symbol for Sulfur it is definitely going to have a Volcanic theme and that means mother frigging lava tiger
        And do not forget Tigers are often associated with the Earth Element in China
        So all of these are extremely plausible

        In other words stop bitching

    • I don’t mind the typing all that much. At least they’re different. I would have liked them to phase out fighting for any of the starters, but I guess water has been waiting for it’s time to have part fighting until now lol Either way I’m looking forward to seeing what other Pokemon are in the region so I can start building my team! lol

      • How can it be fake, these images are found in the sites text under the starters
        So they are extremely likely to be associated with them
        If you have chrome and follow the video you can see for yourself

        Reply
      • Well it’s not fake per say. Sure they could have put those type images on the site and them not be for the starters, but the fact that they are in fact on the sites coding is very telling.

        Reply
      • It’s in there but who’s to say that they can’t be associated with a event,
        Or the idea it’s in the coding but no official event to go with
        It could be scrapped

  1. I’m a terrible artist but I wanted to try and convey the aesthetics of what I want Rowlet’s evolution to be. I feel like due to owls being known for their knowledge and the legends surrounding them, they could do so much with Rowlet! I just put glasses, a grass quil for tail feathers, a scroll, an olive wreath, and a grass cape for wings so it looks terrible. But I guess that’s how I imagine Rowlet to look later in its evolutionary chain or at least what I want GameFreak to incorporate.

  2. I just realized that this Hawaii region is the closest thing I’m gonna get to a Caribbean region with multiple islands ;_;

  3. Fuck Game Freak and The Pokemon Company for not protecting their shit! Did they not learn from the Demo of Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire?! Masuda you need to learn to train your staff better. You’re dumb as a prick. This is pretty much 99% confirmed for me.

    • Well, I think they’re trying harder. The Sun and Moon logos were only revealed like the day before the actual announcement…

      Reply
      • No, they’re not. It just proves they haven’t gotten any better and that this is going to be Generation 6 all over again. Street date for Sun and Moon will probably be broken 3 weeks early this time, instead of two weeks early like it was for X and Y.

    • That seems like an over reaction……This is just how websites work. It didn’t have to be Pokemon. Could have been any other gaming franchise or in general any other series. The website creators don’t do this as a mistake it’s so it’s easier for them to update the site pages on the fly and get the info to us quicker.

      Reply
      • Well, fuck that YouTuber. He just ruined my day. I’m SO PISSED right now that we know the types. What next? The Starter Evolutions? All the Generation 7 Pokemon? The entire game? Game Freak and TPC, I’m VERY disappointed in you two.

        Reply
        • Well I will admit the YouTuber could have used a better thumbnail to keep it a secret, but getting this angry about it won’t help…… As always around this time it’s really viewer discretion advised. If you freak out about every little thing then maybe try to stay away from comment sections of websites. You can’t blame people on the internet for not knowing you don’t want specific info.

          EDit: Just so you know I’m not trying to be mean. This is just a fact of life. The internet waits for no man and info will come whether you or I or anyone else likes it.

  4. Fire/Ground and Water/Fighting, eh? Not as cool as Fire/Dark or Water/Fairy but it’s cool. This just means that the Rowlet line will completely shit on the Popplio line haha

    Reply
    • I think it’s Grass/Ground, Fire, and Water/Fighting due to the order of the icons. Otherwise the typing for Litten’s final evo would be Ground/Fire (different than Fire/Ground). But that’s just my guess.

      Reply
  5. Well, I’ve calmed down now from the initial reactions. Just because we have the typings revealed and likely 99% confirmed, doesn’t mean the designs will be awful. But I am very concerned that this is not the end of leaked info from the site. I hope programmers learn how to better protect things in the future hopefull. But knowing Game Freak’s track record, it seems VERY unlikely. Also, if these types for the Starters turn out to be true, they’ll be three of the most horrible typings for any Starter trio ever, to be honest. All would have double weaknesses to each other and not to mention terrible typings overall.

    Reply
  6. So is it for certain the final typings are Fire/Ground, Water/Fighting and Grass/Flying? And are those the real evolutions?

    Reply
  7. I’m surprised that no one made mention about the illustrious Strange Souvenir. I remember his being a major topic of debate from it being connected to a Kalos extension to a completely new region. I feel like the Strange Souvenir is was a major hint towards an Alola Region Legendary. It might activate a special event that summons this Tiki Legendary. The backpacker who gave it to Calem said he wasn’t from any of the older regions, which means he’s from Alola. I cannot wait to see if it has any substance in Sun & Moon as a whole.

  8. What’s this I hear about leaked final typings? I’m really behind I guess xD
    But I’m loving this info that we have, I love all the starters so far and I’m seeing all these background details that are small but they matter so much <3

  9. So I’m cleaning out files and stuff in preparation for a new computer and I found this from a couple months ago. This was when they had that live stream and played the first trailer again when we were all expected new stuff. Thought it was funny. (RF)

    Reply
  10. I had a dream about Alola last night. It featured the strange waterfall that flowed in the reverse direction lol

  11. I just looked at camerupt
    Fire/Ground is actually Amazing Typing.
    2 weaknesses
    Immune to electricity
    And a good amount of resistances!

    Reply
    • And we only have one water/fighting I can think of and that’s Keldeo.
      Sure, Rowlet effs it up real bad, but you’re gonna have other Pokemon in your team I hope.

      Reply
    • Yeah I’m surprised as well! I definite;y wouldn’t be opposed to having it on my team. I think having an interesting type combo the team will change how I look for others to add. I really prefer to not have to many overlapping types and just cover my teams with moves that help fill it out, but sometimes you can’t help it and I refuse to dumb my starter kitty lol

      Reply
  12. I was wondering why the bird would be immune to the cats second typing and 4x effective against the water fighting type..
    It’s Because Grass/flying already has a fair amount of weaknesses on its on… it balances it out! Good! ?

    Reply
  13. When you guys build a team.. what are your priorities?
    Typically.. tbh.. I go by appearance first.
    If my team is visually off to me.. I’m never happy.. I always restart til I get it right
    How they all look together.
    Then Typing, Then Speed.

  14. Anyone else kind of odded but Greninja being the one to bond with Ash apparently more than Pikachu.. I mean.. according to Slopoke getting a Mega.. Pikachu IS fully evolved.. likely just needed to keep his design cutsey at all cost or whatever..
    Less hope for Togetic now.. ?

    Reply
      • I’m like.. 110% this will show itself in game.
        But that’s not what I was talking about. I feel that Pikachu should of been the special one

        Reply
    • Slowpoke didn’t get a mega though, Slowbro did.

      I think it’s either because Greninja’s body type looks more like Ash (Ash-Greninja really doesn’t look that much different from normal Greninja), or because they wanted to use a Kalos starter.

      Reply
      • Ok yeah… I keep forgetting slowbro. Good points. I guess it’s the body thing. And the gen needed something new.

        Reply
  15. An alternate explanation for those typings is that they are goona reveal pokemon of those types. We already have the starters so they may reveal a gorund, fighting, and a flying pokemon.

    Reply
  16. People complaining that starters should be ‘balanced’, keep in mind that you are allowed a team of six Pokémon. Should your starter be at a serious disadvantage to your rival’s starter (5 out of 500 battles with an average of 4 different Pokémon), just use another Pokémon to beat it down.
    I’d rather see them exercising creative control instead of restricting themselves to avoid fringe situations that can be easily avoided in the first place. Fire/Ground isn’t even too bad of a type, it only has two weaknesses, which is the lessthan most dual typed Fire types.

    Reply
    • We’re allowed more than one Pokemon on our team????? You don’t say…….lol You have a point though. The amount of times you battle your rival is minuscule and even if you do run into another trainer with a type advantage there are plenty of other mons to choose from. Even if the starters and the legendaries were the only Pokemon from this gen there are 721 Pokemon you can get to beat up the opponent lol

        • I don’t understand how I’ve managed to remember the 700+ that we have… At first it seems too much but by the beginning of next year, we’ll probably know them all! 😀 XD

          Reply
          • It’s the incremental introductions. It’s like learning peoples names or stuff for school or work. You slowly let the knowledge in and it goes on the back burner until you need it. Yay for the human brain!!!!

          • You know, even though I ‘know’ every Pokémon, I’m getting a hard time remembering names from Gen VI. I’m getting old! Or maybe it’s just because I played very little XY and repitition is helpful for remembering.

          • I have a hard time remembering the Generation II Pokemon. If you told me to name all the Generation II Pokemon, I would fail miserably because I either think they’re apart of Generation III or I.

          • I think it’s just related to when you started playing. I know all the names of gen I-IV because that’s when I was the most invested in Pokémon.

          • Even more unreasonable when you have memorized all pokemon cries (Gen 5 version) the gen 6 version of cries have yet to stick fully,i might can name a couple
