The official artwork for Pokémon Go’s team leader’s was revealed during Niantic’s panel at San Diego Comic-Con! Introducing Team Valor’s Candela, Team Mystic’s Blanche, and Team Instinct’s Spark! Previously seen only as silhouettes when prompted to choose a team once you reach level 5, they’ll play a bigger role in the game as time goes on. What I want to know is who decided the names for these guys. :s
Here are some other tidbits from CEO John Hanke at the SDCC panel:
- Server issues: Hanke told the crowded ballroom that Niantic “wasn’t provisioned for what happened” and that they’re working hard on keeping the servers up and reliable before they add new features. Hanke specifically mentioned they’re working on fixing things like the broken Pokémon radar system.
- Legendaries are coming to Go: “There are some rare ones that haven’t showed up yet that will be showing up.” Fear not, all original 151 will be available despite only 145 being catchable now.
- Your team will be more important: Team Instinct, Team Valor, and Team Mystic has one of the three Legendary Birds associated with it, and that might play into which of those same birds players can catch. “They’re kinda aligned with the teams, and we might have something to announce about the teams soon,” says Hanke. “Plus, the leaders of each team will start dispensing advice to players sooner rather than later”
- Pokémon Centers to come: Hanke hints at being able to turn some Pokéstops into Pokémon Centers, where you can heal your Pokémon, just like in the main games.
- Users haven’t found everything…yet: Users have independently discovered that nicknaming Eevee “Pyro,” “Rainer,” or “Sparky” will ensure that it evolves into Flareon, Vaporeon, or Jolteon, respectively; Hanke confirms that this was intentional, and there are plenty more easter eggs which players haven’t found.
Is your first look at the leaders making you second guess your allegiance? How many Pokémon have you caught, and what level are you in Pokémon Go? Let us know in the comments below or in our forums and our brand new chat!

Wes, I’m online now to trade with you
I keep trying to turn on the internet, but I keep getting a service maintenance message. :/
Online servers are down for a few hours. I’m not going to up long enough to be able to trade today, but I’ll most likely be on again tomorrow, or you can message me on the forums and we’ll work out a time to trade.
That’s cool, I’ll be on tomorrow same time, so we trade tomorrow then!
Can anyone confirm that shinies are in GO yet or is it still unknown?
I have not caught one but they are real of what I know!
No, the silph road would’ve had wind of them by now
What is the silph road?
this kind of group that does a SHIT TON (wait can we curse here .-.?) of research on pokemon go.

So the August Coro Coro introduced Megas during the x and y releases, does anyone think the August 1st info could be Megas considering the next Coro Coro promises southern island info instead? Also, what mega would you want? (I’m holding out for weavile and froslass)
Kingdra. It needs a bit of a buff.
I have an interesting Question what Pokemon from previous games that has not been shown yet mine is Weavile!
What
Any old Pokemon you would like to appear in Alola like Corphish or Joltik or Drowzee.
If you mean what old Pokemon do you want to see in SM, I want Kingdra.
I want zebstrika
I would love the Zebra Pokemon to come back and it might knowing the abundance of Electric types it might be in
I would love Hoarsea in it but knowing its tropical it most likely will
Horsea was shown in a fountain concept art so it is extra likely it will appear haha
Who knows maybe you can fish in the fountains on specific days (like when nobody’s watching)
I feel Kuiki would say whatever Maaaannnnnn!! So biking indoors man come true!
I say those voices in my head better shut the f*ck up, it’s mah game and I do what I want!
It’s bad enough the voices in my head tell me to do things, I don’t need another set telling me NOT to do things
You hear kukui’s voice in your head “There is always a time for something, cousin, but right now is not that time, it gives me chicken skin whooooee”
Oh, Meowstic!
I would like Meowstic back that would make lots of cat Pokemon and I would love it ! I love pet based Pokemon
Axew, tynamo, shinx, ralts and riolu
Axew and Shinx I have disbelief only cause Shinx has appeared in normal circumstances once but I would love it back and Axew I don’t see I don’t know why but the rest I can see.
What do you mean by normal circumstances?
Like no trading from other games, before elite four or beating Legendaries, or Friend safari, or trading from someone who got it!
Oh ok i was just thinking that since alola is “chockfull of nothing but rare pokemon” maybe shinx could appear in it since it has only been in two or three regions since its introduction
I think Shinx would be a good Canidate for Alola so would
Shuckle, Heracross, Sneasel, Abra, Shinx, Houndour, Tentacool, Snubull, Smeargle, Ducklett, and more!
Yeah i think that alola will be inhabited by the underdogs or overshadowed pokemon from other regions along with the pokemon native to alola
But Feebas may Elude us in this one!
Today is a milestone, Bred 5 5-6 IV’d Pokemon (in the right places today)
2 left to go then that’s it
…..a moment of silence if you’d all please
I just lost a very dear friend…..
My lucky chest hair is officially gone….. Plucked in its prime….
I had it for three years….over 3 inches in length….
It will be deeply deeply missed
At least you can grow chest hair ?
Chest hair is sacred
Yeah and im from the few unlucky people that cant grow it ?
Why not chug this bottle of testosterone pills and read this
http://prodimage.images-bn.com/pimages/9780843717846_p0_v1_s192x300.jpg
I dont think a book will help rearrange my DNA and get rid of the gene that makes me hairless everywhere but my head, armpits and…somewhere else
Too much info!
I say not enough!
They shave the netherlands and glue it to your chest that could work
Is there a book for femininity cuz I need that and a bottle of estrogen please
Grow a pair
Hmm I’d help but this sounds like a uhhhh not 15 year old’s help with it!
God I know
RIP
RIP lucky chest hair.
Just…why, earthen. Why did you feel the need to tell us. Why.
Wes, if you’re here I’m ready to trade. Green: 3239-3723-6799.
I would like Gigalith and Eelektross. If Eelektross is unavailable, Lilligant.
Have I ever told you… MY TAHP TEHN POKEMAN
…
cuz ur one of them ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Dude…. Stop spamming man. Just text me…
Spamming?
You can’t say something totally unrelated (and useless)when I say another thing.
Loosen up breh ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
I know this is a random and really not that important question but is yungoos the only pokemon that isnt native to the region of the gen it was introduced in?
Corphish isn’t native to Hoenn
Oh cool! I wonder where it comes from then
I don’t know. I’m curious about that myself! Maybe they’re native to Alola ;P
Could be as it isnt really that common in any region so far
Only way I knew it I caught one in Diamond once and Ash’s Corphish
Magearna was said to be from somewhere else too it is stated
Oh you are right haha
Because dex entry lingo
Just because it said it was a foreign Pokemon for the region that doesn’t mean this is a cleverly crafted foreshadow of another Region
Yungoos and Corphish are a classic case of non-indigenous species introduction, where they were once foreign to this land and now decades of living there and a population boom they might as well be native to there now
Yeah i know it doesnt mean that much i was just curious if any other pokemon are “officially” not native to their region
I would like to know what are your favorite Pokemon attacks mine is Faint Attack
Leaf blade and close combat
Flying Press, Scald and Secret Sword
Fiery Dance
Zen Headbutt!
Can someone help me evolve my poliwhirl into a politoad by trading with me and then sending it back please. My code is 1891-1280-0860.
I have an empoleon that I’ll be willing to give level 39 that I don’t care about.
In case you didn’t find anyone yet, I might be able to help, but I’ll be at home (instead of in the office with no wifi) about,.. 9-10 hours from now.
Cool, thank you it would be a huge help!
Ok, will you be back later? You can keep the Empoleon too. I don’t have anything to trade evo so I’ll just let you hold one random shiny dodrio.
Lol I’ll be back later! I’m going to sleep and then just log back on.
Looks like you won’t, Cascoon is already helping you! <3
I know! I’m sorry ? I just really wanted to use it for battling lol!
That’s OK, actually! Good luck on the battles. At least you get it evolved sooner.
Thank you for offering though, it meant a lot!
Heyy why dont we battle right now then! Come on i havent had a battle in ages.
Sure! I haven’t battled online in a long time and I’m trying to get into it, which is why I wanted a palpitoad since it’s kinda hefty.
I can help.

Ya know you can do trades all the time and talk in a more instant message kinda way. Come to pokejungle’s chat https://discord.gg/rDeBh There’s 25 of us so far 😀
Wow that actually is much better, thanks!
Cool if we do it at discord it will be much more organized see you there!
Did y’all suddenly quit Chatango?
That’s a good move, BTW, Chatango was kind of unwieldy and I never wanted to use it again. 🙂
I’ll have to bookmark it at home. Restating URL since I can easily keep track of my own posts. https://discord.gg/rDeBh
yeah it was being ass. Discord is so neat and organized and please come we need new faces
Ok! Sounds like fun!
Okay come now! Cascoon is there
Probably in the mornings US time. I’m in the office otherwise.
