The official Japanese Pokémon Twitter account has revealed that new information about the upcoming Nintendo 3DS titles Pokémon Sun & Moon will be revealed in two weeks on June 2nd. This “announcement of an announcement” should tide some fans over who have been waiting to know when we’d get more news about these anticipated entries in the main Pokémon series.
Sounds intriguing, although it may not be quite as exciting as the starter reveal we got this month! Over to the right is our official PokéJungle Hype Horn™ which we will be blowing FREQUENTLY and LOUDLY in anticipation of new information 😉

FEATURED DISCUSSION: Pokémon Red, Green, Blue and Yellow
Leave it to Ash, to beat the crap out of the champion’s Mega Gardevoir, and then lose to some useless pile of ice chunk that is Avalugg…
Leave it to the writers*
I know that, but I felt like bashing Ash, because so much potential as a trainer, he can beat any one.
Lol Ash lost to Wulfric? I knew he would since he has only lost to one official gym match in kalos thus far. Ash’s own level is never constant. He can beat someone super hard, but then lose to someone easy.
Yes he lost, just like he lost to Sawyer in the previous episode. But I’ve seen the preview of next week’s episode, and it looks promising. I’m guessing Ash and Greninja fully master the transformation (meaning they can trigger it at will, and not randomly anymore) and will absolutely annihilate Wulfric in the rematch.
He basically was beating the crap out of Avalugg, but at the end the strain of the transformation took his toll on Ash and Greninja eventually as well.
Wait was it another handicapped match in favour of Ash, or did Wulfric just not get a chance to use a third Pokemon?
He beat Wulfric’s Abomasnow with Hawlucha and then Avalugg easily ko-ed Hawlucha and Talonflame. Ash then went with Greninja, it transformed into Ash-Greninja, and still lost because Ash lost his focus.
Don’t forget Avalugg has gratuitous amounts of defensive capabilities and His Ice Body healing him every blow it really boiled down to who hit harder and how much punishment each could take
So I know we have that one conversation about the dolphin Pokémon that people want, but what do YOU want to see a Pokémon be based on in Sun and Moon. I want some kind of fire type tiki mask-wearing thing which is fire type and has tiki torches. Also a shrimp, so I can call it Sriracha Shrimp. You smell that Sriracha Shrimp boi, that Sriracha Shrimp.
As I said before my all time highest want is a bonafide Ground/Fighting type in the form of a Mud Wrestling Pig/Warthog/Boar since that makes sense (And it has to have sky high attack and Guts so you can’t burn it)
Otherwise a Grass/Fire Tiki
A decent Poison type maybe in the form of a venomous Water Snake
A Normal/Rock Ibex goat with massive Stone Antlers
Moorish Idol Fish Water/Psychic
Coconut Crab Bug/Grass
And that’s all I can think of right now
You and your Ground types 😛
I am the Down To Earth Trainer
Sometimes
Hey I don’t judge your steel types
Nobody is judging your Ground types ?
I think a lot of people will be disappointed if there is not a tiki Pokémon in this region.
Grass/fire?
My original idea was a wooden chimp carving Montiki Grass/Rock then into the massive ape statue Kongidol Grass/Rock
Physical or special oriented?
Agreed
First time posting here :3
Just had to say tropical islands demand a Toucan Pokemon. Other than that a Lionfish Pokemon and a Cockatoo/Parrot inspired evolution for Chatot would be nice 😛
I agree with the Toucan part, though they’re most native to South America. But who cares? Its not like fennik foxes are native to France.
Coconut crab and Chatot evolution or a separate bird.
Coconut shrimp that is fire/water
Yeah. I’d like the coconut crab too. They could even make it Grass/Fighting, but it’ll still be able to learn water moves.
I want a Sableye pre-evolution
GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
I donno, but I have this weird fascination of Sableye. I think there’s a lot to it we haven’t discovered yet.
I ain’t letting that overpowered thing get any more love
Pre-evolutions of current pokemon are useless except for a couple. They’re unnecessary and probably why we haven’t seen them since Gen 4.
I know, but he asked what we as individuals wanted to see, so I answered 😉
A Grass/Fire red Lehua blossom, they actually grow near lava flows.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metrosideros_polymorpha
A Tropius evolution will fit also very well in this gen.
That’s a pretty cool flower. It would make a great Pokémon.
Islands confirmed! https://mobile.twitter.com/TheHeavySquad/status/733153190875648000/photo/1
YEEEEES
Better stop before Earthen, says it’s wrong and debunks it!
There was already a conversation about this last night. Plus anyone that can think would know that it was going to be multiple islands. Except TTube
I never said it was wrong
I said that the picture we were show isn’t the whole region because there is way more cut off by clouds at the very top
If I remember correctly you said the rest of that island was blocked off by said cloud , you were debunking claims of others saying there would be more than one island but eeeh.
Hype about the new XYZ episode preview, have you seen the title? “The Dawn of Evolution” http://forums.bulbagarden.net/index.php?threads/xy121-the-bewildering-woods-the-dawn-of-evolution.215711/
So many feels. I honestly think this episode will mark the moment Ash and Greninja fully control the form and be able to trigger it at will instead of randomly.
Upon seeing the actual preview I think you may be right.
https://youtu.be/ndbMpS5tE_0
Holy shit…..
This episode is a must watch
That Avalugg is a freakin tank. Wulfric is no pushover either, and utilized clever tactics. Had Abomasnow use Snow Warning to summon a hail storm. His Avalugg has Ice Body, which restores health during hail storms and Ice moves do 2x damage
I’m pretty sure Ice attacks aren’t boosted in a hailstorm
Similar to Sandstorm
Actually, the only boost ice moves get in Hail, is Blizzard becoming a sure-hit move.
It’s funny to me because I OHKO every single one of his Pokemon with delphox using flamethrower
Well Ash’s team is primary Physical
I bet Ash’s greninja build is physical too.
Why is the unlovable Pokemon league music playing?
I meant unova hahaha
Most of the music used are remixes of black and white what the heck? I thought this was kalos
I didn’t realize Avalugg was so big…
It’s a gifriggingantic Iceberg
And that Gyro Ball made me love Avalugg even more
which one, Avalugg or Mamoswine?
Both
But Avalugg would never replace my Mamowine
If they would let me I would have a custom knit “saddle bag” to drape over his back since Mamowine would be my main Mount Pokemon for land
Same
Ice types are the BEST!!!
THEY NEED A BUFFF THEY SHOULD RESIST WATER PSYCHIC BUG GRASS FLYING FAIRY AND DRAGON OR SOMMIT I DUNNO THEY NEED A BUFF IT DOESNT NEED TO MAKE SENSE ( GRASS RESISTS ELECTRIC) ALSO, GET RID OF STEEL WEAKNESS, JUST COS
Yes because steel ships can’t break apart and crush ice.
Grass is basically wood and its insulated
Unless they are hit by a double kick, or flamethrower, or flash cannon, or rock throw,
Still the best!
ITS SO GOOOOOODDD!!!! And c’mon ash you need to do better….
The ice type specialist are always so cool. And losing to them nust makes them look cooler (puns not intended). Thats why if i had to be a type specialist it would be ice because you know if you lose to ice its a REALLY good ice trainer. Ice types are just so rewarding since they dont have super amazing pokemon nor do they have many great moves (just ice beam and shard) so using one successfully feels great.
I think it’s weird that there are people that don’t see the tall grass on the island shown in the trailer, there are crearly(not really since the pictures are blurry, sorry for that) areas with a darker green color visible to the east and south of the town shown in the trailer. Am I the only that sees them?
If u watch the trailer carefully it’s just darker area.
or maybe they didn’t add the grass area in this trailer.
How do you guys think they will incorporate new and old ice type Pokémon into this generation with the region just being a group of islands?
Of course there is going to be an area for them to be obtained. I am just curious as to what you guys think this area is going to be like.
I’m sure there will be mountains with snow
Somehow. Or a cave.
I was also thinking a cave at first; but I don’t really like the idea, because I feel as if the concept would be to similar to Shoal Cave in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire.
There are snowy mountains in Hawaii, but they could just as easily create a snowy area somewhere. Or maybe they’ll do seasons and ice Pokemon will be prominent during colder seasons.
I wouldike for seasons to return
Honestly I was thinking how would a cluster of tropical islands would accommodate Ice Type habits
My first idea would be a total ripoff of Banjo Tooie’s hailfire peaks where dual mountainous islands have extreme climates
Otherwise a drifting collection of icebergs that has a complex of hollow icy caves which some Pokemon nested
Snow falls almost every winter at tallest volcanoes in Hawaii, Mauna Loa and Mauna Kea. Or so i’ve heard from my relatives that live there. Seasons returning confirmed?
I hope it’s not just an ice cave… that’s lame. We’ve had like 3 of those. They should just pull a unova and disperse some ice pokemon here and there
Somewhere artificially cold to store seafood maybe. Like cold storage in New Unova, which was a warehouze. That was creative.
But not creative as Beyonce faking her pregnancy. I mean it’s not a bad thing to have a surrogate. Why did she do that after anouncing it live on TV? All these months faking a pregnancy… wow
BEYONCÉ SURROGACY WAH
There are lots of conspiracy theories if you search it like there are many conspiracy theories about starter final types. I’m trying hard to keep everything on topic.
wat kind of preview is that ?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x3kYhFsPhpU
Lol terminated. And I just watched this hours ago… 😉
What is everyone naming their characters in Sun and Moon and who will their starters be?
Sun: Cosimo and Litten
Moon: Aurora and either Rowlet or Popplio
I used to name my person Landon because for whatever reason I chose that name when I started Ruby way back when and it stuck, but since gen 6 started I’ve just stuck to using my real name which is Alec. I’m definitely going with Litten. I’m still on the fence as to which game I’m going to get as I’d like to know a bit more about the exclusives, but I’m leaning towards Moon now because I really like it’s legendary.
I always name the characters IAN, I only do Earthen for non-important stuff
And Popplio will be my starter for sun
And if Litten ends up ground I’ll pick it for Moon Ground Mono
I’m only getting moon. Rowlet is the likely starter.
As for name, I’ll have to think about it. It’s either Phyllis, Pandora, Lilo or Yuna.
I dunno about character names, probably after Jamie and Percy (my two names), but I know I’ll choose Litten for Moon and reset for a female one so I can name it Molly. And Rowlet for Sun but no names yet.
Pokémon official twitter has been tweeting about Fairy types non-stop. Something is about to happen Fairy wise ?
First Fairy/Ground type?
Just for you Earthen 😉
Bleh, they could never make a decent Ground/Fairy
The only thing that would make any sense is the pink fairy armadillo
I can see that. They’ve done it before I think where they basically subtly tweet about random stuff and then it becomes relevant weeks later. I wouldn’t be surprised if the announcement on the 2nd has a fairy type Pokemon involved.
New fairiessssssssssssss
Its just fairy type week
Lunaala being fairy type confirmed
I swear if it does
It’s just stupid fart faced fairy week on Pokemon TV
O my god
http://img05.deviantart.net/eff2/i/2016/138/9/0/solgaleo_vs_lunaala_by_frank_einstein-da2xx0w.jpg
Them pink lights referencing the obvious fairy type of Lunaala
Official?
No, it’s just that good!
Luna looks it’s very well designed. I would expect the same from Sol though. It would be better if they gave it circular mane-like thing rather than an obvious mane, just like Luna’s abstract body. It would resemble Sun Disk that is prominent in egyptian mythology and also link these two legendaries in a better way
Something similar to this, not exactly this, but you get the idea:
http://pre02.deviantart.net/f89c/th/pre/i/2016/114/d/3/solgaleo_by_lucas_costa-da02bn1.png
There better be new poison types tbh like 5 families atleast
Also ground, electric, and bug.
i want random combination like electric/poison or ice/bug. Hopefully they have fun with the designs and create random dual types
Those would be cool combos.
They should make an Electric/Poison Pokemon based on a corroded battery
Sounds pretty cool. Hopefully it wouldn’t be hideously ugly though haha
Haha true. I can’t really see this thing not being ugly but maybe just use the concept but apply it to an animal. A corrosive electric centipede, scorpion, or hornet would be cool
My Regional Bug/Ice
Shiverpillar
Chillcoon
Mothedral
Someone wanna help me decide a 6th pokemon in my Soulsilver? My team is:
-Bayleef (Grass)
-Tentacool (Water/poison)
-Magmar (Fire)
-Graveler (Rock/Ground)
-Fearow (Normal/Flying)
Ampharos?
I would, but I’ve had Ampharos so many times before.
Try Scizor or Heracross. They both pretty much wreck everything throughout the game
I might do Scizor. I haven’t had one in a while
I’m obviously being biased but only because it’s a great Pokemon to use lol
It is great. Too bad you can’t get the steel coat till post-elite four…boo
There’s a way you can get it before the elite four but it’s alittle time consuming. If you have the move thief you can steal one from the wild magnemite on the route before Olivine City.
Hm, I never thought of that.
How about a johto pokemon like
Heracross
Ampharos
Sneasel
The only thing is that you don’t get Sneasel until late in the game. I’d have to trade one over. I thought about Jynx too, but same situation. I’ve also thought about maybe switching Fearow or Xatu, but not sure if I want to put the effort in. Thoughts?
Curse of the rare native pokemon strikes back!
That would be a nice switch though fearow is pretty much better than xatu so i would keep fearow. But if you wanted to have a psychic johto pokemon how about espeon or girafarig
Yeah Fearow is actually pretty good. Better than Pidgeot.
Fighting type will complete ur team , Umbreon ,some Elc type like Electabuzz,Ampharos….,Dratini if u can, steel type like Scizor or Steelix.
Dratini is a good option. I’ve thought about Umbreon/Espeon..I just hate evolving pokemon with love. Too much work..Electabuzz is good too, I’ll just have to trade one.
i always picked a girafarig cause they are cute
Yeah but that’s two Normal types >.<
Neither are weak to fighting actually they are strong against it their shared type doesnt collide to add negatives! Youll be fine! But i can understand if you didnt want that i dont like sharing types that much either
tea! plus girafarig has a broad movepool
I know :/ Just makes me wish they’d get rid of normal/flying types though. Most can’t even take advantage of the normal typing and therefore just take more damage from fighting.
I agree. Most of them have terrible move pools as well.
staraptor is the only good normal/flying i can think right now
Yeah. Staraptor was a great Pokemon but it should’ve been flying/fighting imo
Agreed. Maybe one day they’ll retype it. They should
STAB Close Combat? oh my wig will be snatched
Staraptor is amazing
How about Ampharos. 🙂
Had it too many times :/
Cough cough PJT16 article cough cough
For this generation I want GF to revamp a lot of Pokemon to have better stats and a few need proper typings. A new type chart will be fine as well.
they tried in Gen 6, some pokemon had +10 in a random stats. it worked for some of them but mostly is was useless
I know but you can’t just give a Pokemon +10 in a stat and think it’s much better now. They should give a Pokemon like Dunsparce 50-60 more base stats (assuming it won’t have a mega)
I would like that too. Also some more real evolutions for past pokemon.
Absolutely. Mega evolution was an interesting concept but I would prefer just regular evolutions
Yeah. I think Megas should only be given to pokemon that for sure can’t evolve again.
I want Gligar, Scyther and Sneasel pre-evos just so they’d be balanced in Little Cup.
I like that idea. I’ve always wanted a Bug Pokemon similar to Tyrogue that could evolve into Scyther, Pinsir or Heracross
I dig that, that’d be awesome.
Not to be a downer, but i really think and hope that was a one time thing. As much as i want ice type and some pokemon to receive buffs, i dont want pokemon to start getting to a habit where something gets buffed every generation. I like if they keep it consistent and right now i am perfectly fine. Maybe like ability small buffs or or ice increase a stat in hail. But buffs to BST or type as a whole is not what i want to happen every game because people will just try to rely on it. And yes i know and am ok with them buffing movesets and moves, but just not a pokemon ingeneral.
I understand. It’s just sad seeing older Pokemon have no relevance because of poor stats. I like the idea of hail increasing a stat for ice types because Hail is the worst of the weather abilities
I wish they make at least one pair of Sun/Moon based Pokemon. Maybe version exclusives, or maybe branched evolution based on day/night just like in old days. A plant Pokemon could be exciting(like Moon Vileplume and Sun Bellossom). I would also like to see more of encountering of nocturnal/diurnal Pokemon based on time.
I miss when some Pokemon could only be encountered at night or during the day
Solrock and Lunatone evolution.
Wait actually no, I want a new set of sun and moon-based mons besides SolgaLuna. 🙂
Amazon listing…multiple islands confirmed?
*boi*
I said this this morning, and I just noticed that someone else said this in 20 hours ago. We were both beat to it. On this topic, however, I don’t like how people keep saying that this is common sense. I mean, it was likely, yes, but it is still good to have confirmation. I keep seeing people (not generally here) getting ridiculed for getting excited over this.
Because it was common sense.
This is troll freak though.
If ya don’t confirm it, it is not likely to happen. Even multiple islands. 🙂
Thank you everybody for the suggestions, but I’ve narrowed my choices down to Scizor and Jynx. I like Scizor better, but idk how I’ll fare against Lance without an ice type.
just give Tentacool ice beam and everything will be ok.
Good idea
Can you get Ice Beam before the elite four?
Apparently not unless I get it at the game corner (no thanks!) I’ll have to go with Blizzard
I don’t blame you. The Game corner sucks in those games
It super does. I wonder how they’ll handle it in D/P remakes.
They will most likely just get rid of it like they did in ORAS
That’s so lame though…isn’t it all because of a UK law or something?
I’ve heard multiple theories but yes it mainly has something to do with the U.K. I’ve also heard that they got rid of it to keep their E-10 rating
Well if it is to do with the UK my suggestion would be:
1) Cut the game corner out of their versions of the games and put it in everyone elses.
or
2) Replace the game corner with an arcade type location w/o gambling and w/o stupid voltorb flip. Maybe like 4-6 different minigames where you can win tickets for prizes
I like the arcade idea. They need to add something like that back into the games. I miss the game corner and I also miss Safari Zones. We haven’t really had a new one since HGSS.
Well there was the ORAS safari zone, although it didn’t much feel like one. I think HGSS did it best.
I agree. I know we just got the ORAS safari but that was pretty much a copy and paste of the original. HGSS definitely had a unique safari zone. I’m hoping SuMo has something similar to the Johto one
I do believe it was Europe as a whole. Maybe. Can’t remember.
I’m a fan of Ice types, and I think one would be a good addition and bring some diverse typings to your team
Yeah…I chose Scizor though :////// It was a really tough choice honestly.
I will tell you since i recently used jynx the only special attacking move it grts is powder snow when you catch it and blizzard at level 55 so good luck with that
And you dont get ice beam tm until kanto
Wooo! On Pokejungle on my new computer! 😀
Lunaala’s third eye looks sick! I love it more everyday freaking cool
Same but with a new phone!
Still like Solgaleo better…
Congrats on your new computer!
And Ithsme’s phone!
Thanks!
https://youtu.be/c9lNFsvcrw4
Another one? Awesome!
I will so be pissed if Rowlet does lose its flying type for ground. I want fire/ground Litten.
I was really hoping for Grass/Flying, Fire/Poison and Water/Fairy but oh well
Assuming the rumored typings aren’t true, those seem to be the most obvious final types. I’d like to see those three personally.
I wouldn’t mind that. I just don’t want any pure type starters
Grass/ground, fire/fighting, water/fairy would be the most ideal for any generation
That almost the same as Gen 4. I want some variation.
I was only joking. Although, Rowlet going ground shows variation within evolutionary stages.
Ehhhhh as long as the Water/Fairy isn’t Popplio
I was only kidding. I do kind of want Rowlet to become ground. It shows variation within the evolutionary stages.
Who the hell freaking cares if Kukui is married?!?!? Listen sometimes watching these videos can be fun for me so I can excited, but I’m not a huge fan of Game Explain……Most of the time they they are looking way too deep into stuff and stretch what info we have into something that doesn’t even make any sense……People may like them and that’s fine, but I think they over analyze this type of stuff way too much……..That said I still don’t think Rowlet will be Grass/ground……It just doesn’t make any sense…..anyway that’s all I have to say about this video lol
Um he’s my husband
Nothing in Pokémon makes sense
I hate that
Everyone knows Gamefreak puts an insane amount of research into Pokemon concepts
I picked a country and looked up that country’s history and mythology on Google. The designing is the most interesting part, but the research wouldn’t be too difficult.
Some things do. sometimes it’s not obvious sense, but GF aren’t idiots that just slap a bunch of stuff together and call it a day. lol
I know they’re not. Idk whether to include the anime or just games as far as pokemon logic goes.
I hope Rowlet becomes Grass/Ground. I want to see the community burst into flames so I can watch flesh burn and I can laugh while watching
Me too lol
I’m starting to accept it. I guess the worst part would be Litten, who is full of potenetial for a second typing, is supposedly pure fire.
I’d love for Caitlyn to be the champion or have some kind of importance or at least be in the games!
How come a lot of the pure poison types have only one evolutions
Just Seviper.
Sorry I meant only evolve once
5 if u was mean final stages.
All Elite Four in 5th gen add pkmn in challenge mode can really mega evolve is that just a coincidence ? …..GF planing to do this mega evolution idea long time ago .
http://www.serebii.net/black2white2/elitefour.shtml
Hmmmm…. Could be!
Coincidence or divine intervention.
I believe in that more…..I didn’t know ur this kinda of person though.
Guys and gals with the NA version games, do not forget your free
flying baconshiny Yveltal!Is that up already? Holy smokes lol
I havent finished iv hunting the xerneas’s 🙁
I think they did a good job in the 6th generation creating unique shinies.
Unique typing people want to see? I vote for Ghost/404
Ground/Fighting
Grass/Fire
Poison/Psychic (Psychedelic gecko)
Normal/Rock
Ghost/Rock
I’m digging the gecko. Like, I really want that to happen
I had this idea called Psychicko or Psicko
That sprayed a “dizzying” haze
But controversy pinged in with the name and the advocation of drug use
Poison/ Electric
Fairy/ Fire
Ice/ electric (not counting rotom)
Bug/ Fairy
Fairy/ Ice
Ughhhhh every other is a fairy
Sick
And like it or not Freeze Rotom still counts but I wish it didn’t
That way Wash Rotom won’t be such a thorn in my backside
Ummmmm ok? Thanks for your opinion on my list? My hopes still stands. Lol
Earth doesnt like fairies 😛
Poison/Ice (ancient parasite)
Ice/Bug (Scorpion)
Electric/Poison (Corroded Battery)
Ice/Electric (Snow leopard)
Ground/Fighting (Minotaur)
Why would there be an ice scorpion or an electric snow leopard? That doesn’t even make sense
I didn’t realize you couldn’t be creative with Pokemon ideas.
I’m with Valdimir Pokin
Those types and that species just don’t mix logically
I mean a Normal/Electric Leopard makes sense
And for a Scorpion anything near ice just don’t work since they are cold blooded and just won’t mix well
And Ice/Poison the only thing I can think of is a Cold Virus
Thank you earthen
Normal Dragon
Normal Ghost
Ghost Fairy
Fairy Dark
Fairy Fighting
Fairy Poison
Fairy Ice
Ice Poison
Ice Bug
Dragon Bug
Please just end all this pro-fairy propaganda
I don’t mind having more fairies but a ground/fighting is yet to happen
Don’t try to butter me up
Ground/fairy hasn’t happened either
I know
But regardless XY fairy hype is over, and I want it to stay over
Fairy is my favourite type! THEYRE LIKE ELVES FROM LOTR ( or they have potential to be, but some turn out like candy floss…) TAKING POWER FROM PURE, WHITE – SiILVER VIOLENTLY BEAUTIFUL STARS
And ground is NOT on of my favourites, though I like a lot of ground Pokemon, Nidoqueen is one my faves Love Steelix, Golurk , Gastrodom… Gliscor and torterra ( not my kind of thing, but one of the best designed IMO). And though a lot of ground type moves aren’t my thing, I do love sandstorm! ( Drews Absol, Grand Festival)
Edit: Sandstorm is rock type….
Really why should people who love the Fairy type, (like myself.) have to stop talking about it, and hoping that when a Pokemon evolves, it will gain that typing, when you don’t have to stop annoying people with your ground type worshiping. Hmmmmmm? >:) I think its only fare. LOL
I really do not get why people are so upset that Rowlet might be ground type…It would resist more things, be immune to electric and as long as it can still fly and use flying type moves, wouldn’t it just be more versatile?
Like I said Groundaphobes
Regardless it will still have a 4x weakness to ice any way you look at it
I have no problem with it being ground type. My problem is I don’t think they would suddenly swap typing’s like that on a starter Pokemon.
Thank you! They wouldn’t.
No. I think it could change to Ground type in the end. When a lot of the Mega’s evolve, their types change. When Skrelp evolves it goes from Poison/Water to Poison/Dragon and looses its Water typing. When Scizoe evolves it turns into Bug/Steele from Bug/Flying. When Surskit evolves it goes from Bug/Water to Bug/Flying. Nincada goes from Bug/Ground to Bug/Ghost and Bug/Flying. Skorupi goes from Bug/Poison to Poison/Dark when it evolves. Swablu is Normal/Flying then gets Dragon/Flying then Dragon/Fairy… I think I’ve made my point.
Ehh type shifting isn’t all that uncommon
Usually it’s secondary type that can be changed but extremely rarely Primary (only like a few instances Swablu, Fletchling)
And the infinitely rare dropping of second type Bellossum
But this case I don’t see why they would do something like dropping Rowlet’s flying since it took such a risk of making it the first dual first stage starter outside Bulbasaur, if that wasn’t the case they would’ve made Rowlet pure Grass
Maybe it’s triple typings and it’s a new feature in Sun and Moon
Over several others dead bodies would I let that happen
You actually didn’t make your point because none of those examples are starter Pokemon. So… You fail. Wanna try that again?
Yeah because Pokemon are Pokemon. Just because they’re starters doesn’t mean their typings can’t change during their final evolution. My point was that they do change, it’s not out of the realm. Charizard turns into a Dragon when it mega evolves, which I know is a little different but it’s typing still changes.
People get upset over everything.
What goes up must come down. So it makes sense.
And if it does, it will make the fanbase butthurt
Fanbase should learn to canalize butthurt into something enjoyful like one-fifth of world adult population does.
Nice one
