  2. I hope they won’t be revealing Iwanko and Nekkoala, since we already know about them. Perhaps that’s what’s intended to be featured at the Hobby Fair.

  5. Another little thought passed through my skull
    I don’t think any of us has pitched potential Dark Types we might encounter in Alola
    My only desire in a Dark Type is my Bug/Dark Mosquito, Since we have never had either

    And it would be the definition of HP Sucking Pokemon

  7. Pokemon that we need:
    -dolphin pokemon
    -more dog pokemon (we got iwanko so i guess this one is ok)
    -more horse/equine pokemon
    -better whale pokemon
    -mosasaur or elasmosaur fossil pokemon
    -mosquitoes, cockroaches and other common insects
    Comment other animals/objects you would like to see as pokemon!

    • Honestly we have plenty of dog Pokemon, but the I like the others on this list. This isn’t really an animal, but I want more evolutions of old Pokemon like in gen 4.

      • Why can’t we have more dog Pokemon? Have plenty of Dog species in real life thus more to draw inspiration for Pokemon.

        • We already have so many, so I don’t really want to overdo it. Rather than making more dogs, how about making Pokemon of the many animals we haven’t used yet?

          Reply

        • We have plenty of dog breeds. In terms of Canidae there’s only around 40 species. In comparison to other animals that’s not really much. Domestic dogs all count as one species. Labradors and bulldogs are essentially the same.

    • Ive said it before and Ill say it again: peacock, manatee, flamingo, hummingbird, humpback whale, armadillo, arctic wolf, and red panda (someone just beat me to it). I want evolutions for Carnivine, Heliolisk, Sudowoodo, Quilfish, Basculin, Cacturne, Accelgor, Escavalier, Donphan, and Gourgeist.

      • Carnivine ehhh
        Heliolisk is fine how it is
        Sudowoodo isn’t changing soon
        Qwilfish is never going to be good enough
        Why Basculin they’re bad too
        Accelgor and Escavilier are at their final stage
        Donphan is perfect how it is
        And letting Gourgiest having an evo will be nightmarish if you could stick an Evolite on it, it’ll be as annoying as a Dusclops

        • I like how you actually disagreed with every single one. Like odds are one of them would land with you and we’d agree. XD

          Reply

          • I think heliolisk desperately needs an evolution and I have always wanted an evo for Qwilfish and Basculin myself as well

          • I calls em how I see them
            Carnivine is one of those Pokemon who just don’t need an evo
            Sudowoodo is also at the end of its Rocky roots
            Like I said Qwilfish is borderline useless and very little to improve
            Basculin just like Qwilfish just don’t validate an evolution
            Escavilier and Accelgor like I said are at their final form nothing more for them except a possible Mega
            Donphan is perfect
            And Gourgiest is too powerful and if it gets one Trevenant gets one

          • ok lets wait a week maybe you’ll change your mind like you did for sudowoodo, considering you wanted one like last week that was like a golem of sorts.

            Also thats like, your opinion man

            (◡‿◡✿)

    • Lol could you imagine a Helicoprion fossil pokemon, like water/steel and all kinds of terrifying.
      That being said I would really like to see the following things as pokemon
      -Flower Based pokemon (Bleeding hearts (grass/fairy) and Rhodiola Rosea) (grass/rock)
      – Narwhal
      -Peacock
      -Opossum
      -Ocelot
      -Pink Fairy Armadillo
      and a Bongo (the animal not the drum)

    • On the object idea, I want a pokemon based on a mirror, bomb, some musical instrument- ideally drums, paper fan, and umbrella.

        • Someone on deviantart had a cool one, so I cant take credit it for it. But I want a ghost/ flying line that starts out as a haunted paper fan and then turns into either a ghost/flying or ghost/water haunted parasol.

          Reply

      • Bronzor is kind of a mirror. Graveler always explodes, and… you want an umbrella pokemon?? dafuq is wrong with you

        Reply

          • Well another bomb pokemon wouldn’t be the first time Gamefreak has introduced two different pokemon lines based on the same thing *cough* stantler and sawbuck *cough* (just to name one of many examples…we have three turtle pokemon lines, two of which are water types, and two of which are starters) But anyways, a bomb pokemon with a fuse or something would be cool (I cant remember the deviantart account or I would link it)

          • Don’t try to one up me
            Electrode, Pineco, and Golem Explode and are all different
            And yeah we have a few turtles
            And Stanter is FUCKING USELESS

          • Sure, a few happen to explode, but yet not one pokemon is based on an actual bomb. We have (in order of how you listed them), an upside down pokeball, a pinecone, and a rock monster? but nothing specifically resembling a bomb. Drifloon, stunky, the regis, trubbish etc all learn explosion. Munchlax, sudowoodo, gengar, mew, wailord, etc. all learn self destruct in some way. And if you told me even one of those was the pokemon Gamefreak designed after a bomb, I would seriously think you were smoking something.

          • Not a bomb ehh
            Then how come nearly every one of Electrode’s dex entries says it explodes
            Sounds like a bomb to me

          • Its an upside down pokeball. Called the ball pokemon. Its the closest thing we have to a bomb, thus making me go back to my original point that there are multiple pokemon that resemble the same thing. Id like one closer in design to the inspiration. Do we need to go back to the turtles to further clarify? XD

          • Turtle shmertles
            If they don’t do the same thing then they ain’t the same regardless of design origin

          • Only if they do the same thing? Like exploding? That makes them all bombs? Not following here… So every Pokemon that surfs is what? A surfboard Pokemon? Im seriously not following and you are failing to admit that I have a point with the reusable inspirations.

          • You’re using a tactic that can’t possibly be wrong
            They all explode for different reasons but out of all of them Electrode is officially known as Pokemon’s Bomb Pokemon
            As everyone knows Gyarados’ destruction
            And Charizard’s firepower
            ELECTRODE IS THE BOMB AND NOTHING WITH EVER USURP THAT TITLE
            But not gonna happen

          • So while inanimate object inspired Pokemon are few compared to the vast amounts of animal inspirations, a bomb is probably unlikely given another bomb inspired (loosley inspired nonetheless) Pokemon exists. But maybe when there’s 1500 Pokemon, we might have one.

          • You clearly don’t understand English. Also, as iterated in the above comments, just because something explodes doesn’t make it a bomb. Just like everything that floats is not a boat

          • Also, Stantler being useless is not an argument against the fact that there are two deer. His usefulness doesn’t make him exist any less.

          • lol, its funny that when you said bomb pokemon this fakemon popped into my head right away, its a great design

        • He’s a mirror but is he really a mirror 😉 ??? And yeah, I want a haunted parasol and haunted fan (I said it below). We have swords, keys, and garbage and in my opinion they all work well. A fan and and a parasol also fit with Japanese culture sooooooo….

    • If we don’t get a dolphin Pokemon in this game I’ll be very upset. And I’ve been wanting a mosquito Pokemon for a very long time. I’m thinking Bug/Dark type for it’s type combo since it would fit and on the plus it’s a type combo that has never been done before. I would also like a proper chicken/rooster Pokemon. I know we have Torchic’s family and everything but I think it would be really neat to see especially considering that both chickens and roosters are feral (wild) in Hawaii and I spotted a farm-like town on the Alola map (island with the volcano). I can see them having overworld models in the overworld for the farm-like town.

  8. I don’t understand Japanese but I got a rough idea of what Junichi Masuda is saying through (the ever so reliable) google translate. His last tweets have been about finishing rehearsal for the World Hobby Fair. Since it will be open to the public soon… what do you think will be revealed and when do you think gameplay/info will be revealed??

    Reply

    • I don’t think too much will be revealed. Maybe we’ll get coverage on Iwanko and Nekkoala, but who knows.
      As for the gameplay, I don’t think it will be new gameplay, but there’s always a chance that it might cover a different part of the game, so I’m hoping for that.

      • The Japanese trademark bot registered their names the other day. Likely to get ready for the reveal. They did the same thing with both the Starters and Legendaries as well as the mysterious Marshadow, which I feel somehow is the 3rd Legendary. I think they’ll cover both Iwanko and Nekkola and maybe show new gameplay with villainous team and a couple of Gym Leaders if we’re lucky. As July CoroCoro back in the X and Y days introduced Team Flare, Professor Sycamore, Clemont, and Grant, and a few new Pokemon (I think it was Pangoro, Inkay, Malamar, Swirlix, and Spritzee). As for the “secret”, technically only CoroCoro subscribers know about it, so I think they’ll re-tell us and continue to tease that for another month. Mega Evolutions were revealed in August in the X and Y days, so I suspect we’ll see the long speculated new Synchro Evolution mechanic everyone is talking about then.

  11. I have a gut feeling that they are probably going to reveal not much. Iwanko and Nekkola were trademarked by that Japanese trademark bot the other day. As for the “secret”, technically speaking only CoroCoro subscribers know about it. So I think that the whole widely speculated Synchro Evolution mechanic will be teased for another month or so, probably revealed in August, like Mega Evolutions were. And if we get lucky, maybe we’ll see the new villainous team and/or a couple Gym Leaders, which is what the July issue of CoroCoro revealed in the X and Y days.
