IF THE POLL ISN’T WORKING CORRECTLY FOR YOU: Firstly, I apologize and secondly I want you to know I’m looking for a fix but I have not found one yet. Sorry!

[poll id=”104″]
X — EVAN
If it had been Cilan, Chili, OR Cress I would’ve voted for Chili, but because I dislike the other two I voted for Marlon.
Im that way except about Cilan
Good to know that Volkner is the only Sinnoh Gym Leader to use single-types. I’m learning so much about Skyla.
Haha I thought the same thing
Sorry hahaha I changed it 🙂
I honestly forgot about Marlons existence, tough choice for me between lenora, Iris or Roxie but imma say Iris because she’s my fav female companion that ash traveled with, she called him out when he was being an idiot, which is always
Misty did it first <3 ?
misty is my second fav, only because she annoyed me because when she called out ash it was super aggressive and I don’t like that, Iris just said what she was thinking and moved on
She’s just passionate 😉
it still gives me anxiety
He threw some shade back so it’s all in good fun
fair enough, Iris will always be the better companion in my eyes though 😛 and Im thankful they never got shipped, I hate shipping in pokemon 😛
There were totally some moments that hinted at ash and misty though
babe Marlon
I’m gonna repost here what I said but is on the other page and it is
What Pokemon do you think should get an Alolan form? Mine are
Primeape-Fighting/???
To make it in tune with the Jungle like Mankey’s are!
Seel/Dewgong-Water or Water/Fire
After currents moved them to Alola they had to shed their need of cold water and went for tropical waters as Fire types
Clefairy/Clefable- Fire/Fairy
Maybe instead of praising the Moon they praise the sun (exclusive to sun version)
I would like to see Staryu/ Starmie get an Alola form, but the typing switches to Water/Ground with the ability Regenerator. The change is it gains camouflage abilities and builds up better defensive qualities so that it is better protected from the Alola predators in the water. Where it gains better defense, it loses speed as a result.
But if a part of the body is cut off excluding the core it regenerates but I still like the idea!
The idea was sorta like how starfish are hard and have a tough exoskeleton, so I thought it would be cool if Starmie changed defensively rather than offensively
Oh that makes sense I take back what I said
It’s perfectly fine
I would love forms for those two. I always liked them
Farfetch’d could become Ground/Fighting. It doesn’t look like much of a flyer and it already has a grass sword.
Ekans and Arbok could become dark-type snakes.
Those sound good
Skyla because she owns a fuckin airport :bd and she takes you to the Nature Preserve
That Marlon is scorching
Had to vote Elesa. She can be one of the more difficult gym leaders from Unova, especially on challenge mode and without a ground type (probably the greatest gym battle I’ve ever had, only won because I stalled out a leech seed.) So I have mass respect for her and I also just like the presence she gives off. It’s not superiority, but confidence. Her design is nice too and I also appreciate how she helped out Bianca. It’s unfortunate that she’s one of the “sexy” gym leaders of this region though, and people will look past her other good qualities when voting.
Waiting for corocoro to leak and we get this .-.
But I vote Drayden cause he’s a GRAND-daddy :*
Clay, because smexy.
@Haxford Will you be doing an Elite 4 + Champion addition as well?
If I see that people want it I might 🙂 how would you like the format then?
I actually like how you’re doing it now with the gym leaders. Maybe the Champs can be it’s own entity throughout all the generations. Maybe do a final pick between all the voted winners for a grand champion?
Why you all should watch the XY anime
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BiW6_H6SXN4
Im too lazy
Nice new profile pic EastGovnah
Thank you.
I’m not in the mood to torture my eyes right now, but if I am, I’ll remember this.
Quick summary: Best Wishes was very cringeworthy, but they got rid of most of the staff who worked on it, and replaced them with the core team from Guilty Crown, which in turn makes the XY anime more story and character focused, rather than boring us to hell with filler episodes (like a handful of them in the entire XY and XYZ arc)
BW was horrible, and that makes me skeptical to watch this. I’ll just read the synopsis, and if he wins I’ll watch.
Fair enough. But as I said, XY has almost no filler episodes and its very much focused on story and character development. Like Ash has really grown as a trainer ánd a person
XY and Z has been a good series so far, I can guarantee it’s better, some of the battles are really good. I would recommend to watch it in English Sub because it sounds better.
XYZ animation have set a new standard for future anime series imho. Its just incredible.
I have actually started watching it since the beginning of XY and Z because Zygarde ties into the story, so I went ahead and watched it. I gotta say, XY and Z is pretty good, way better than the torturous BW saga which made me stop watching the series till now.
I non-stop watched the anime till Sinnoh. Then I suddenly just lost interest and didn’t watched B/W at first. I got back into it because I enjoyed the gen 5 games and I just assumed the anime would be equally good. I did finish the whole of Best Wishes, but it is something I’m still trying to forget, it was so incredibly bad lol
I could talk all day about the negatives of the garbage that is BW.
Lol ikr? Even Ash’s team (bar Krookodile) was just fucking pathetic. There’s 1 episode in the entire B/W series I genuinely enjoy and thats the Charizard v Dragonite battle.
Ash’s team sucked ass. Most of them weren’t even fully evolved, save for Leavanny, Krookodile, and Unfezant. In the past they made us care about his team, like Charizard, Infernape, and Gliscor, while in BW most of them were bland and didn’t even had backstory, they were just there for Ash to use. Tepig’s backstory was pathetic because it was essentially Charizard’s backstory all over again, and then they just dropped Tepig’s story after he evolved for some reason. Only one on his team I liked was Oshawott, he was fine. And it was so stupid that Ash’s Pikachu, the one who defeated Tobias’s Latios, gets knocked out by a level 5 Snivy a few episodes later and a newly evolved Lucario in the League. At least he has Ash-Greninja now.
Unfezant is the crappiest bird ever, so I dont even count it as a team member
That true
Sinnoh was good in my opinion, I liked some of the battles, the characters were solid, and Ash’s rival is good.
whenever you get here ultron i finished my idea
Estoy aquí
above
This is a toughy lol I’m torn between Elesa, The three brothers, Cheren, Roxie, and Marlon hahaha I can’t choose!!
I gotta say it is hard to choose because of how great the character development was in gen V but i have to go with Marlon, there is something about his laid-back personality that makes him stand out from the rest
and his elevator music
Ah yes thats the best part lol
Sigh.. How much longer till the next floor?
Hey I had this idea yesterday and didn’t want today it until next day’s discussion, but what if after we beat the SM game, we could host a Pokejungle competition (since we can host our own competitions now) where we can only use the team we used in game. The competition could be held after 2 months of the game’s release.
@Ultron6:disqus here ya go my evil idea http://i.imgur.com/GITqM1B.jpg
my alola team currently 🙂
I like that 🙂
Lol the trainer was fun to edit lol, eyepatch is back too,
You should be able to wear eyepatches in the game 😮
oh u know i would wear it all the time
Although I must ask, whats with the derp face on Rowlet? xP
its a insdie joke, I added sanic face to rowlet one time and it just stuck to me
O god xD At first I thought you just meant Sonic and then I googled “Sanic”…kinda regret it
sanic is a meme lol
Yeah, sorta like spoderman haha
Sanic the Hegehog?
yep Rawlet
Took me a while to notice Komala. XD
Honestly if i wouldnt have done that it would been a miss opportunity XD
Rowlet is the best part of the pic lol
Damn it I want to make a trainer portrait now
I will put u in dirt XD
It would just make me stronger
Now this is the one I’ve been waiting for
It was during my battle with Clay is when my Drilbur evolved,
Blow after blow each of our Pokemon fell, but it finally was down to the main event Drilbur versus Excadrill
Drilbur was clearly outmatched by every one of Excadrill’s attacks, whatever Drilbur did Clay’s Excadrill did better, things began to look grim as a powerful Metal Claw sent Drilbur flying and crashed into the wall
After a insulting show of words I decided to throw the match, but as I tried to recall Drilbur he was nowhere to be found; befuddled the room began to shake the ground started to crack open, blinding white light escaped from the fissures, the tremors got even more violently until Drilbur bursted out in evolution!
Now standing before me was my very own Excadrill, a look of determination was painted on his face knowing he still had something to prove! The two duked it out without nary a response from their trainers, With Excadrill’s moves being enhanced he finally perfected Rock Slide which buried Clay’s Excadrill allowing him to land the finishing blow
Earning me the Quake Badge
Chapter 1 in Earthen’s upcoming novel ”My journey to Ground Greatness”
This is chapter 8 of book 5
Silly Ian, Pokémon don’t evolve mid-battle. Your story fake af tho
You know how f-ing amazing that would be in the games?
Well of course they don’t, but Drilbur did evolve after the match
But if I want to write it like this it is my own choice
i liked it
You should read the one about my Krokorok going rogue for a day joining a renegade group of thieving Scraggy
you should read the day i got my eyepatch
Didn’t I do that?
no
Cool story
bro.
Well what I mean is it’s a okay one
Marlon’s name is also based off a swordfish.
Off of some comments below about the show who is your favorite companion of Ash’s and who’s your least mines gotta be Brock or Serena for favorite and I hate Iris with a passion a close second is the fruit Cilan though
Iris and Cilan were annoying af, BW anime was terrible to begin with,
TOO MANY RIVALS THE ANIME
Also Team Rocket wasn’t funny. That was weird.
mostly the the anime had so many characters but no development, Serena got more development in her first few episodes then iris ever did
Iris’s team sucked
“Oh I’m a dragon master wannabe”
“What is your team?”
“An op Axew, a bratty Emolga, a Excadrill with trust issues, and an Angry Dragonite”
Basically a teenage hormones team
I think other Ash’s Pokemon it sucked
Yeah, it was good they weren’t in every episode but when they showed up they were SO BLAND!
That’s the reason I am losing likeness of the show cause team rockets too serious now and not funny they are more like terrorists than thieves anymore.
Not to mention Ash’s Pikachu, the one that beat a Latios, lost to a level 5 Snivy and a newly evolved Lucario. Really?
Misty the best, everyone else can buzz off. Except maybe Brock but only because he was in the original 3
eh misty was ok.
She is 3rd for me
Misty was sassy, determined, passionate, compassionate, kind, and more. She’s great.
Opinions.
Facts. 😉
Actually it’s pretty much the same like yours lol. Only thing different is that I did like Bonnie a lot, she was funny, mischievous, and somewhat refreshing in my opinion.
Misty, May, Dawn, Clemont because I ship Clemont and Alan (i hate that name for heartbreaking reasons), and Serena.
You ship Clemont and Alan? For any particular reason or just because?
No reason. The pairing between a strong, quiet type and a nervous, geeky, and easily embarrassed type is just cute to me… I don’t know why…. O///O
thats how me and my ex were, I miss her so much and her mma fighting ways 🙁
Story of my life: When you’re gay af, but like straight dudes and not other gay people…….. It doesn’t make sense.
most the girls i like dont notice me
Story of mine too :/
We live together, we suffer together.
We Pokejungle together.
I can see that, but something makes me ship AshxClemont more… I mean Clemont is always trying to impress Ash and stuff…
… I ship them too! Clemont is sooo cute though!!!
“they both wear blue” lol jk
In order mine goes
Brock
Serena
Misty
Dawn
Bonnie
Clemont
May
Max
Tracey
Cilan
Iris
My vote goes to Elisa, she’s really cool and helped Bianca with her dad, having one of the better little gym stories in Unova.
How I miss the Black and White / Black 2 and White 2 games / eras. My vote will have to go to Elesa due to several reasons: I chose Oshawott as my starter and due to my hatred for Ground-types, did not catch any Ground-types and that little, pesky flying squirrel called Emolga Volt Switched me to death. She, along with Lenora remain the only gym leaders in Black and White I had to re-battle. However, I grinded my Swadloon to the bitter ends and she eventually became a Leavanny and battled the trainers to the east of Nimbasa City and evolved my Dewott into a Samurott. Additionally Elesa has one of the best gym designs and puzzles ever! If they ever include gyms in the Pokemon Park, her gym should be No. 1 in the priority list, Lastly, her overall design, character, and gauntlet for the trainer were all great aspects of what truly made her stand out.
Honorable Mentions: Iris, Cheren, Lenora, and Drayden because he gives off daddy vibes.
You dont have the gen 5 games?
I do, but I mean miss as in like the hype train leading up to the release, the realization of the plot, the characters, the story, the plot, EVERYTHING! I want BW3, BW4, BW5… and so on.
Didn’t know that Skyla’s bit of Trivia is that she’s also a Sinnoh gym leader, haha
I enjoyed Gen V as a whole, the plot was really involving of the gym leaders and they actually had a role which was nice. None of them caused me problems however, even on the hard mode of the game
Hahahaha, I didn’t read the article too closely and didn’t even see that.
I thought it was amazing in BW that the gym leaders were helping out to fight Team Plasma, they cared about something happening to the region.
Yes that was good too yet wasn’t the Striaton brothers not their to notify the police I forgot
Yeah I believe so, so glad everyone participated.
Yup they still helped in a way
when they were rumored to be the shadow triad was also cool
That would have made them the most interesting Gym leaders
Only Lenora caused problems…. Everyone else was essentially easy
can we all agree that BW anime openings were just terrible?
Yes theme and animation sucked
I remember every friggin lyric to the first opening and that damn chorus, “It’s not always black and white” -_- It’s like my guilty pleasure song.
BW anime in general was rubbish.
It’s sad, cos it started so well.
it did, then iris came with her annoying Axew, only thing I liked was Oshawott
I hated that stupid Axew SO MUCH 🙁 I couldn’t stand it when they tried and failed to make it cute with that horrible voice….
I didn’t care about Axew. I found Dawns Piplup in DP infinitely more annoying
I never watched DP, I found piplup and Dawn insufferable.
May is still my favourite companion of Ash’s. And she had a beast team, through Hoenn and the BF.
I always liked her with Blaziken, it just suited her so much
it made me hate the pokemon
I like it up to the first Don Battle Tournament. I thought it was a cool idea and would allow them to throw in more official battles and reduce the number of fillers.
Boy was I wrong, not only did they not do them enough, some of the later ones limited Ash to only use 1-3 Pokemon….when he was rotating around 8-9 Pokemon.
because heres the thing. After they werent allowed to use team plasma. it was filler
Team Plasma could have been really cool. I remember that double episode they were supposed to have in Castalia which essentially got cancelled because of an incident. It went to complete shit after that.
its annoying in a way that it never aired
It started with Ash suddenly being a weakling lol Very bad sign from the start imo
True, he had waaay too many unevolved mons
I didn’t have a problem with that. I enjoyed the fact that they tried doing something different. Ash catching more than 6 Pokemon, darker team rocket, don battle tournaments, Ash actually training his Pokemon …. But then they just reversed everything and I never understood why.
Feels as though the writers have a coherent plot and idea of what they want to do up until the 2nd gym and then everything is rushed and written in a few hours or so. Good thing the XY plot and characters have been handled much better.
This is exactly how I feel. It felt it was going somewhere up until the Lenora battle, then it just sort of…stopped
Its thanks to Best Wishes that a lot of people lost faith in the anime. Which a real pity, because they have redeemed themselves with XY and XYZ.
Can confirm, I used to watch the anime religiously. I stopped around when Ash battled Skyla, and only watched a few here and there afterwards.
I fully watched the Best Wishes series, because I am the kind of person who finishes something, even though its really bad. And yes it was dogshit, but as I said they redeemed themselves with the Kalos arcs. Also a interesting sidenote is that they replaced the team that worked on Best Wishes, so none of those writers are still present.
Ugh, that battle was so stupid, when I watched the show I actually skipped the Gym battles and tournaments because they were super boring…. Unlike X and Y where battles are all dynamic and exciting!
I’m gonna be to go for Clay. Ground types are cool and his Main was Excadrill, one my favourites from Gen 5
Wait what is with Skyla’s trivia? xD
On the basis of listing favorites, what are your favorite villainous teams? Mine would have to solely be Team Plasma. Ghetsis, the mastermind behind Plasma was a genius, utilizing the love of Pokemon to meet his own twisted agenda and even going so far as to use his own adopted son to create a world in his favor. The idea of liberating Pokemon from their owners because they’re merely, “used as slaves” is the darkest theme Pokemon has ever dabbled with and it was done so delicately, with great finesse, care, and love and in a way that was not preachy. The Team Plasma grunts had back stories, they told the player why they joined the cause and weren’t just mindless puppets because no matter how influenced they were by Ghetsis, they still had a fiber of their own will to command their actions and opinions. N was a tragic anti-hero fitting of a Shakespearian play. His desires and then his realizations all played out on the great stage created by the man he thought loved him, but was simply his puppeteer. Although there were many plot holes and aspects that could have been fixed or drawn out to make more sense, Team Plasma were really well fleshed out and developed, so much so that they gain the title of best villainous team in my books. Admit it, you had goosebumps when Ghetsis first appeared and preached to the audience of Accumula Town.
Probably gonna have to agree with Team Plasma. They are the only bad guys we as the player could actually root for. That’s what makes a great villain in my opinion.
Nostalgia vote goes to Emerald Team Magma :p
I actually rooted for Team Plasma until Ghetsis showed his lil rear end and I lost my shiz.
Team Plasma no contest, for most of the same reasons as you so I won’t repeat. Second place for me would be Magma in ORAS.
A tie between Team Rocket and Team Plasma. Team rocket because they weren’t going after any legendaries or anything, they were just criminals and thieves, and were quite memorable in my opinion. Team Plasma because you could be sympathetic with their goals, as they only want to do what was right for Pokemon.
Since we are talking about Unova, what was your Pokemon team in BW and BW2?
Mine was:
(Black)
Emboar
Mandibuzz
Galvantula
Stoutland
Simisage
Golurk
(Black 2)
Samurott
Ampharos
Unfezant
Magmortar
Haxorus
Leavanny
B2 was my memory
Emboat
Arcanine
Lucario
Skarmory
Glaceon
Leafeon
yea my emboar became a boat
lol
Why two fire, two fighting, and two steel types? Seems excessive.
I can’t even remember mine. I think it was Emboar and Excadrill…..and dunno the rest.
My memory does not go back that far :0
It’s ok, it was sorta hard for me to think back about my Black team.
check your hall of fame XD
I’ve restarted the game many times, I don’t have my original hall of fame.
– Serperior
– Mandibuzz
– Eevee
– Lucario
– Lilligant
– Stoutland
By far the weirdest team I have ever had.
never evolved your eevee?
Nope. Didn’t evolve my Snivy until the E4 and by then it was a lil too late, but I did it for the stats…
I’ve played the game so many times..But my original team for White was:
Serperior
Unfeazant
Zebstrika
Simipour
Krookodile
Darmanitan
My current team on White 2 is:
Lilligant
Volcarona
Claydol
Zoroark
Swanna
Cincinno
White: Samurott, Liepard, Crustle, Reuniclus, Ferrothorn, Chandelure
White2: Golduck, Crobat, Flygon, Magnezone, Cofagrigus, Sawsbuck
hm I was thinking Ash wins the Kalos Leauge and wins a trip to Alola, Seeing the tribal challenge and decides to take it. seeing how mallow might be the new companion maybe this could be a first for the series, Serena joining Ash in Alola giving the anime the first 1 boy 2 girl group.
I wouldn’t get my hopes up for Serena coming along :/
well i just think shes a great character who still can be relevant since her feelings for ash.
I would like that, we could see more of Ash and Serena which would be interesting to see how this goes in Alola.
I have HIGH hopes for Mallow; strong female lead that helps Ash perfect his battling skills and is a blend of in-game Iris and anime Misty. She is a much more proficient (Ash is like a good singer who doesn’t always hit the notes perfectly, but when they’re on fire, they surprise you with their potential) battler and at first only acts as a tourist guide for Ash, but due to the villainous team and her wanting to stop them / act like a spy, joins Ash. I actually want to start writing a Sun/Moon fanfiction.
Mallow and Lillie could also work, Mallow being the new broke/Misty and Lillie being like the smarty pants of pokemon
Elesa? The only gym leader that matters. Everyone else (especially the triplets) can go
The triplets were actually cool… especially Cress <3 <3 <3
the only i like was Chili. Everyone else? keep them
I don’t know him… *sips tea*
Marlon of course <3
Elesa and Skyla are literally the only two options. I’m choosing Skyla for this. rf.
I don’t understand why Elsa has so many votes. She had a very robotic personality
Because she’s really cool? That’s why I voted for her.
Never really liked her. But fair enough.
You know those types of people you know NOTHING about but raduate an alluring aura? That’s Elesa, the one and only.
imo Elesa was the hardest gym leader, my non competitve mind battling that stupid emolga and zebstrika volt switching every single ground move. She had the best gym leader song and liked her personality. Plus she was a good character in the anime so props for that
That perfect speed IV, EV trained Tynamo… ?
I was using a ground type my run through I never really noticed. Honestly I only played both BW and B2W2 once and I used ground types, so her gym wasn’t the worst for me.
I hate Ground-types. Phanpy is the only one I like and maybe the Ryhorn line.
Ground types are cool. Excadrill and Mamoswine are probably my favourite. Diggersby is badass. Krokorock was awesome, Donphan, Steelix and of course the formidable Groudon, now known as the even more formidable P-Don
I guess it’s because of their cool/neutral coloring on most of them and I like warm tones with contrast.
Mamoswine is my favourite Ground-Type. It’s just a huge, fluffy woolly mammoth.
Diggersby…-barf-
Diggersby the G
Perhaps one of the ugliest pokemon ever created
dont say that about Quik Bunny the Nesquick Bunny
I think that honour goes to Druddigon.
Diggersby on the hand is a being of beauty
stunkfish would battle for that title
Druddigon is not a looker either.
qwilfish, stunfisk, pan trio, simi trio, thoh, sawk, djinn trio, tympole and…. ugh….. Palpitoad (vomits everywhere) say hi.
Ew tympole and Plapitoad are top 10
She’s confident and it shows. Tis nice
That tan thooo… *_*
On Skyla? Or did you mean to respond to jota cause I’m with you there.
Oops. Yeah, it was meant for Jota. Marlon is fineeee.
yeah I still need that card in my collection. hopefully my booster box of breakpoint has one in it.
hm quick question, since x/y and oras did it, you think we gonna get a event mon that launches with the game?
Probably gonna be Rockruff
well i hope that means rockruff is not common lol
But it also means literally everyone will use it in a play through
nooo 🙁
Pretty sure pre-orders get a QC code for Magearna
Thought of the Day: The change from Tynamo to Eelektrik is so glaring though…
Still no remoraid to octillery
Or Dragonair to Dragonite.
Magikarp to Gyarados
Feebas to Milotic O_O THAT GLO UP!!
Puberty is a wonderful thing
why can’t i vote
You’re probably a Woman living in the 16th century.
Sorry….bad joke
Did you just assume their gender?!
Sorry, bad 2016 joke.
Some browsers work, others don’t. Safari has worked for me, chrome doesn’t. Mobile is way easier though. Chrome works for me on that.
Thank’s Safari worked.
i can help you if you tell me who you gonna vote for :p
I’m voting Lenora, she’s awesome. also, whats up with Skyla’s trivia?
Cocaine is a hell of a drug.
skyla is a transforming morphing lizard that can change her body into Volkner. Did you not know? Is on trivia in the pokemon manual
Sorry, I changed it!
I voted Drayden! Even though I am meh on this one.
I find Elesa 2.0 very hot but that is it.
No one really challenged me in the region. Really poorest region gymleader wise.
Wrong. That’d be Johto/Kalos.
i’d have to agree with you, Ultron (even if you did try to kill the Avengers). johto was a joke gym leader-wise, I mean, all their teams sucked (pryce, the 7th gym leader, had a weaker team than the 6th gym leader!) and the gen 6 gym leaders were so forgettable (love viola, however)
Yeah. Johto gym leaders were generally bland in terms of personality, didn’t do much story wise, hardly used Johto pokemon, and were generally weak! Kalos ones were forgettable and easy, at least Johto had Miltank.
I can’t be wrong cause it is my opinion.
Wrong again.

I’m going to steal this lmao
XY was worse in Gym Leader quality.
I liked that for the first the gym leaders actually helped take a stand against the evil team.
Even though they didn’t do much, it’s the thought that counts.
They are close in my opinion, but somehow XY’s were more appealing to me at least. Neither made me really stress out at any stage, except Clemont cause I hadn’t a grass or ground type at my side so it was a bit pesky.
Me giving Elesa all my votes
http://www.muumuse.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/xtina-computer.gif
Girl you know she doesn’t need em. She’s gonna win. I’ve been right about every region so far, except Kanto, but I bet that one was rigged.
coughs *Hoenn was rigged* cough.
Pfff we all know people only voted Flannery because of people objectifying her
Typing is hard.
I voted Wattson because I objectify him
LMAO!!
To be fair I objectify Steven, but he wasn’t in the Poll
Ewww
Ultron stahp being mean, not every1 can agree with furries ya know
Being mean is fun. Plus I usually do it in jest 😉
Cant wait for Kalos. I will make 100s of fake accounts to vote Wulfric. Kakuna’s signature move applies to me regarding Wulfric.
O god, he’s hideous.
Wanna string shot him
Ahh please stop.
Watch him whip and fall, tryna dial for life support
oml XD
Winona? Leg only. Ended careers. robbed queen that got her place snubbed by flops wallace and flannery.
Honestly though I never even hear people talk about her. Her altaria w/ dragon dance and earthquake are the only good parts about her.
i liked her team tbh. you had alot of different types in a monoflying team
She has a nice team, but Pelipper, Tropius, and Swablu (why did she have this?) were pushovers. Skarmory was a bit more bulky than the others, but not difficult.
Winona was good. Tough in Emerald cos you can’t get Ice Beam as TM beforeher, other than 10,000 coins from the Casino in Manville.
I used to skip ahead to Lillycove, buy Blizzard from the Store, and then proceed to miss against her Altaria
Not the worst gym leader in Hoenn, that’s for sure. I like her, but you need more than a decent team to get my vote. I chose Wallace because he had like triple the story that the other leaders had.
*in twitter voice*: juan is better. juan ended him. wallace who? flopallace
Juan is cool, but still is overshadowed by Wallace since he had like no part to play in anything.
Tate and Liza were the hardest for me in Emerald.
Juan (and Champion Wallace) were a simple Gardevoir CM/Thunderbolt Sweep.
Same, they were hard. I almost voted for them because they are a great challenge.
Yasss!!! I didn’t know Flannery had a career to end *sips tea*
Gurl u know Kanto wasn’t rigged, u just salty cause ur fave flopped down the leaderboard
Gurl… cringe
Why Natsu whyyyyy
O///O I’m sorry senpai!
Girl, Misty lost by one vote. That’s basically a tie.
i- i wanted to vote for misty but it didnt work so i ended her dreams
SEE. It’s a tie. I was still right.
That attitude is annoying
js
-_-
Btw, ur gifs give me life!!! X-tina <3
honestly as much as im a gen 4 fan. Gen 5 had the best gym leader designs
By the way do we get to do an E4 poll after this. And then the Champ one.
Champion is obviously between Steven and Cynthia.
But E4 will be good. Flint in probably my all time favourite.
Cynthia ended Steven. Point Blank and the Period
Steven let Cynthia win cos he’s a gentleman.
Plus her Garchomp would just wreck anything he got.
Nah. Garchomp gets wrecked by multiple Pokemon that Steven owns
None of them can match its speed. He has really slow pokemon. None of his pokemon even have a type advantage either. Aggron has dragonclaw, but would die from earthquake. It has sturdy, but couldn’t OHKO her Garchomp. She’d probs switch to Milotic anyway
Garchomp can be walled by Skarmory, Claydol or Craydily depending on the move set. Garchomp Is strong but it needs more than 4 moves to truly beat Stevens entire team.
I dunno if we are referring to in-game movesets or not, but Claydol learns Ice Beam and Aggron learns Ice Punch.
Mega Metagross is also faster and learns Ice Punch. Lives an EQ and Fire Blast from full health.
Craydily walls Milotic. Skarmory takes Roserade without HP Fire, otherwise again Craydily. The only real issue is Spritomb with Will-o-Wisp
Again I don’t know the in-game movesets. Just theorymonnong here. Depends on a number if factors but it’s a battle I want to watch In the anime
Yeah I was going off of movesets that they both use in game 😛 Garchomp probably couldn’t sweep all of them, but I guess it really ends up as who gets lucky with type matchups. I think if they battled in real life, Cynthia would have the advantage due to type coverage though 😛
In game I would probably agree. But the anime ignores type coverage for the most part. (See Hawlucha vs Slaking and Medicham vs Snorlax for the most extreme examples). It would just be an epic anime battle to witness. Cynthia might edge it, but keep in mind Stevens Mega Metagross takes Flare Blitz from Mega Charizard X and shrugs it off.
I guess it would also depend if Cynthia would use Mega Garchomp…and whether or not that’d be a good or bad choice.
listen, i wont start drama but everytime cynthia and steven battled in the PWT in my game, cynthia won so yeah thats the absolute proof
Lol. If that happens everytime, it’s programmed to be that way. Doesn’t prove anything.
lol i was being sarcastic. the only that usually wins on my pwt is blue ugh
Are we doing an E4 one? Is it just going to be a free for all with all of them in one big poll?
watch ugly bruno being twice and losing twice
He’s lame with his dumb Onix. I’d probably vote Seibold or maybe Malva. I like his character design a lot, and Malva’s side story. Karen is nice too, but I don’t like her team unless its her rematch one.
that’d be a shame, I love diantha, she’s my favorite pokemon character.
We might! I’ve heard more people ask about this, so why not 🙂
Drayden cause he’s a buff grand-daddy :/
I don’t usually like daddy types, but Drayden is FINEEEEE as hell.
His beard it too weird for me 😛
Too skinny for my taste, need them stocky buff daddies. Wulfric
To each their own O`.’o
guys i made bruxish look even more bad
http://i.imgur.com/O5BKJDz.jpg
I really hope it evolves to give it some appeal
Them purple lips thoo… they got Jeffrey Star’s lip line lookin’ over their shoulders
its color scheme is just really hard to work with.
I was only jk, it actually looks good. What software do you use?
photoshop. it gets pretty easy once you know what ur doing
I wanna flush Bruxish down the toilet
OML XD XD XD
The treatment plants couldn’t event treat this trash.
That’s actually kinda cool though. Maybe a lighter yellow?
the bright yellow is looks odd on it
I thought corocoro was supposed to leak today because it’s officially coming out the 12th .-.
well news are coming out the 12th too, we might just get 2 new pokemon again lol
Skiddooo long time no come to chat
It can technically leak any day…. There is no one day corocoro will leak.
okay LONGpokedex -w-
Wow zinger :O
I predicted tomorrow night
I’m so bummed CoroCoro didn’t leak last night. Maybe they didn’t find anything new? Joe said they might just cover last week’s announcement.
Ughh nooooo that’d suck! I want news before I go away tomorrow
Well Serebii Joe is wrong. Corocoro is covering southern Alola.
CoroCoro will be released on August 12th, the same day the Pokemon Company is revealing news. We’re likely going to see a CoroCoro leak tomorrow or on the 10th.
Yep. We could even get it tonight before it turns 12am. But we usually get it after midnight.
I have the hardest time telling the difference between Chaos and Ultron because I think of them as the same person. I honestly am confuzzled at this point. And here I thought I had everyone at gun-point (metaphorically).
Ohh I thought it was the same person too .-.
Ultron is chaos, but Chaos is not Ultron.
YOU CAN’T TAKE ME ALIVE COPPERS! props to annoying who remembers the Spongebob episode it comes from!
Is that the episode where spongebob gets his license and then Ms. Puff tries to steal his car? I’m blanking T-T
It’s the one that’s basically a dream sequence at the end.
The episode where Mrs. Puff and Spongebob crashed near the Senior Citizen Center into a fruit punch truck?
Noooo, it’s the box episode. Although I cheated. I’m cheating! I’m cheating! I’m cheating!
“NO JOHNNY DON’T DO IT”
The Idiot Box was always my favorite episode 🙂
chaos: lawful neutral
ultron: chaotic good
I’ll take it. My personality on here can be a bit bipolar as well.
and i used to be a goat
And then we sacrificed your mortal body and you ascended into the heavens to be reborn as a god.
so a skiddo become a god, thats new XD
I’m Switzerland
I voted cheren because in B/W 2 he becomes hot. Hidden power me daddy
I can’t decide between Skyla or Elesa dammit :/
let me pick for you: elesa
I think Elesa has more personality, although I like Skyla. Plus her gym doesn’t make you break your legs.
True, but Skyla is kinda hot tho I think I’ll go for her. Sorry thegreatcarbinkle.
Nooo that’s not how you vote
I dont remember any gym leader battles so I voted based on hotness c:
I remember my Gym battles and I still voted based on hotness too.
-facepalm-
-gets out spray bottle-
BAD!
Why is Elesa winning? She’s not even pretty and she’s supposed to be a model!
shes hot and has dem legs.
She’s a stick! At least Skyla has some thickness e.e
Cause straight boys have no taste. I mean, even I can see Skyla is hot.
Ikr! Scrawny girls are not hot! I want a girl with some kinda comfort, not a skeleton
…Her and Skyla have basically the same body structure.
VOTE FOR DRAYDEN
1) Electric type
2) Sweet gym, both times
3) Bianca moment
4) Gives off a cool aura
5) Challenging
6) Nice character design
i gonna give you another reason to vote for Elesa
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7pTFLxeg6tg
nah
yas
yes
si
Fun fact: GameFreak used a similar soundfont to The World Ends with You’s “Dancer in the Street”. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9NtFBFDocCE
most of the comments were pointing that. it really a nice reference and i really like the beat
GIVE ME WHAT I NE E E E E E D
D O G A R S
DOGARS
So, apparently supposed pokedex leaked with below e-mail, IDK, if this claim comes from the source of the leak itself or not but it’s strange and somehow takes away the credibility of the leak:
http://a.disquscdn.com/uploads/mediaembed/images/4065/2414/original.jpg
so why would german email have the English names?
Lol Bounsweet goes through puberty then becomes sour. If that aint a metaphor for life then idk what is.
its a reverse sour patch kid
I don’t really speak German that much but as far as I can understand, the translation team sent this guy the list of names to localise them and give them German names. They also said that they’ll attach some pictures to make giving new names easier. It seems weird but still hoping for it to be true…
This is sketchy. Why weren’t there pictures to begin with, you can’t name without images,
Yeah, I’m starting to doubt the credibility for the exact same reason. I was like 50-50 without this mail, but after leaking the names, why the heck wouldn’t they also leak if not all, but some of the pics as well? I really want this dex to be true, because I’ve been waiting for the Guardrake line for like 6 years now but well… I’m not sure anymore.
Checked if the address exists or not but it doesn’t so this picture at least is definitely fake. Doesn’t deconfirm the whole list but this mail is definitely not real.
Yeah, someone broght them up back in the other page discussing the leaks. There were 3 more having the rest of the alola Pokedex. He said he found it on Reddit and 4Chan but they got taken down real quick. It has the english names and the german locilizations of the already announced Pokemon. It also said something about 3 attatcments, presumably about the news Friday. Don’t know see how this takes away credit from the leaks. Quite the opposite, I say
Because it says something like please do localisation due to beginning of september, and it’s odd.
Skyla: She’s a cute girl!
Elesa: Cute next to gorgeous
http://67.media.tumblr.com/5db800eaefe85452c4f3f900b377cf00/tumblr_mg24fiyjZ31ql5yr7o3_250.gif
I don’t really see Skyla’s appeal. Her design is nothing special tbh
that ugly ponytail bothers me
Yeah wth is that thing. What sane person would put a bun on their forehead. Looks like a dick.
What sane person would wear that dumb jacket Elesa has on?? These are cartoons!
people in high fashion
It’s a fur. Cause she’s a classy model. Plus her headphones are super chic.
Steal her look, Elesa:
Dolce and Gabanna Napa Leather Headphones with Crown – $8895
Balmain Angora Belted Cardigan – $3290
http://www.balmain.com/en_rw/women/outerwear/angora-belted-cardigan.html
http://store.dolcegabbana.com/us/dolce-gabbana/headphones_cod51120376ui.html
she’s basic, and is basically wearing one of Zero suit samus’ costumes from smash
That’s so true, she just cut some parts off. She should be dressed like a pilot, not some hoe cosplayer
airplaneshipping tho *drools*
What?
airplaneshipping is SkylaXElesa
oh sorry darling but Elesa is far too fabulous for her
Is this something dirty
its SkylaXElesa
So yes
yea but like im dirty
Why you hating on my bae tho?
Because she could’ve had a cool pilot design with goggles and shit. Her design is just “cutesy” and uninspired.
winona is the better flying leader
Agreed. She at least sorta has goggles
The Queen of Flight Winona and The Expert Pilot Skyla
Im Wiz and Im boomstick, and its our job to analysis their weapons amour and skills to see who would win a death battle
Nah man she’s hot the way she is.
she’s a cartoon character….?
Yeah so? She’s a cute cartoon character.
I can see her being cute I just don’t understand how a cartoon can be hot 😛 but maybe thats just me
That’s the problem. Her design is bad because the only plus is “she’s hot.” You can’t even tell what they were going for with her design
I mean this is a little better, fits with the pilot aspect https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CLpn7tyUsAAJJU9.jpg
Is this just fan art?
yea. but still its something that could of worked a bit better
At least she has a flight suit here, although she looks like a water trainer from the waist up
They were going for a cute pilot chick. Different strokes for different folks.
I like them, but roxie is special since i love the goth punk girls
i like roxie alot. her gym theme is very kpop
P-O-K-E-M-ON POKEMON!
and honestly i could easily picture her in the sun and moon Graphics jamming out the guitar and doing a guitar rift before battle
She kinda frightens me. Her gym is cool though, albeit small.
eh its the second gym. it could of used like maybe bouncers trainers and fans
Yeah, but I liked how they were jamming and would stop when you defeated them
yea like really. it was unique
I chose Iris but even I can respect Elesa, she’s got that bad ass, I will cut you if you cross me, look. Where as Sklya just looks a little derpy.
Tiffany!
So I was punching the numbers and trying to find the best form of each Pokemon that is said to have multiple Pokemon according to the leaks. What I’ve concluded is that Rowlet’s best form is it’s Grass/Electric, Litten’s Fire/Dark form, Popplio’s Water form (or water/fairy if you think the extra resistances and new immunity outweighs the extra weakness), Delfin’s Water/Dragon form and Rockruff’s… Well all his forms’s typings are kinda horrible 😛 and the Fabled Breed Cat’s best form will be it’s normal/ghost form as I have said before (it’s one of the best type combos possible).
This is all from a typing stand point, based on the number of weaknesses each of the form’s type combo has.
Isn’t it ironic that rock type generally fails to rock 🙁
As I understand it you are only taking into account defensive capabilities, What about offensive presence.
And also the fact that its better to resist/be immune to common attacking types such as Ground/Fighting/Fire than Posion or Grass for example.
Just a couple more things to take into account.
Yeah this was just taking into account the number of weaknesses to simplify it. Later I definitely will figure out the best offensive type each one can have 😀
? Time: What will Adorasite will look like?
a fat bee fly
hmm I was hoping for a humanoid fairy fly.
idk i was just joking who knows
QUEEN Elesa IS going to win. Know that. Roxie and Lenora were pretty cool too.
Does anyone else think that future CoroCoros are just going to cover the remaining islands? I don’t know what they mean by the “Southern Island”, but I’m assuming it’s either Ula Ula or Poni Island. Honestly, it depends on where you think north is. We got three more months (excluding this months CoroCoro) of info, so it makes a lot of sense to just give a guide of each island, excluding the man-made one.
It’s Ula Ula. The in game map puts it much much below Poni.
I’m confused. . . You went to 2 water gyms in BW2?
Nope. You only battle Cress as a leader in B/W. Marlon is the last gym in B2/W2.
Nope. In BW2 Cheren replaced Chili/Cilan/Cress.
Earthen is finally home!!!
Five whole nights camping in New Hampshire
And during that long ass car ride, I ev trained and leveled a whomping 12 Pokemon
So this poll really made me think about the Unova region in general. To be honest, 5th generation was just a mess overall. For me, personally, there’s no sense of cohesiveness in the region. It’s as if they threw random elements together and made a region. And the Pokemon designs… I mean there’s plenty of competitively viable Pokemon that were introduced but I’m not fond of many of the designs, again it’s just too random and not cohesive at all. And don’t even get me started on the abomination that is the BW anime series.
Alola is getting Pokemon back on track imo. Everything feels cohesive up to this point, region wise, design wise, etc.
In about 2 years everyone’s going to say Sun and Moon is shit
Watch, it’ll happen.
Sadly I see it as a possibility. People will complain about no gyms, mixing up the formula too much. But I hope not.
“TOO MUCH WATER -7.8/10 STOP MAKING WATER REGIONS”
Then they make another Kanto like mainland region and “WE MISS THE WATER BRING IT BACK”. And then the next region is a series of boats.
yea the whole game is boats and rafts
Make it like Czarist Russia!!!!!!
people love to complain so yep
And people like to complain about people who complain about what their complain about
Remember when this world didn’t suck so hard, kuz I don’t
I live in my own world most of the time tbh its much nicer there
didnt people say the same about x/y?
Everybody hates everything get with program Goat
Theres a youtuber too XD
I keep telling y’all if I could get myself out there I’d run a Pokemon rant segment under the name “Raging Rhyperior”
I think XY is probably one of the worst in terms of region, Pokemon and story.
Yea but before it came out. it was like how sun and moon was, hype does affect culture. so i wouldnt say anything about sun and moon till it comes out
True. I think the best thing about Gen 6 was Mega Evolution.
Couldn’t’ve said it better myself. Before XY I was more hyped than I am for sun and moon, and it was a resounding “meh” for me. That’s why, while I’m excited, I’m not making any judgement like “sun and moon will put the series back on track” or “they’ll be the best games ever”. Still holding out for difficulty options (please GF PLEASE).
yea we can dream. honestly im minority but the hype culture for ORAS was over the top that it killed it for me. I thought the games were ok. not bad not good
I feel like maybe the reason I’m not as hyped for SM, even though I really want to play them, is because I was too hyped to XY and ORAS, and they let me down a bit.
yea u cant let hype get to you
Yeah before XY came out everyone loved the pokemon designs now I see hate towards them and Im just like, ok then? Meanwhile I see the good in every pokemon design and cant think of a single one that I actually really hate, I also get really upset when people call GF lazy for making certain pokemon a certain why because it just makes them seem entitled to what they want, when tbh pokemon doesn’t have to give us anything they could end the series tmrw if they really wanted to, so I like to stay grateful for what we have and even more so for what we get.
honestly the pokemon designs most people hate are usually the bizarre most creative ones, if u look at them at them a bit harder
Ive always said there’s not a Pokemon design I hate, or can call lazy. There are simply ones I prefer over others. I still think Aegislash is one of the all time best designs/concepts GF has come up with.
I think Bewear is kinda dumb and badly designed, but that’s just me.
see thats the kinda positivity I like to hear about, until recently I wasn’t overly fond of Mr. Mime, it was the one pokemon I kinda looked at and was like, ew, but I forced myself to use it in one play through and now while its not one of my favs I have respect for it. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder after all, so whats not overly awesome for one person could be the best thing ever for another, and I think gf knows what they are doing. 🙂
For me, it was the Zubat line. I never cared for them, but I decided to use one during one HGSS playthrough and now I Love Crobat, it put in work and I grew to appreciate the designs of all three 🙂 I learned from that experience that I should probably try some more Pokemon I am not entirely fond of
omg I did that in HGSS too, its name was Zuzu, I still have it actually :3
Honestly I can’t find it in myself to shit on something that someone else likes, even if I’m not too fond of it. The same goes for other things like movies, e.t.c. To each their own.
I really loved Gen 6 designs. One of the best Pokemon gens in terms of design.
I actually liked a lot of the Gen 5 designs. Scrafty, Excadrill and Volcarona are amongst some if my all time favourite. Other than the starters Gen 5 had some pretty good Pokemon designs ( I even think the likes of Vanilluxe and Garbodour are decent).
Gen 6 was a lot worse than Gen 5, even ORAS couldn’t make up for the mess that Gen 6 is.
It gave me my soul mate
http://img13.deviantart.net/ee78/i/2014/350/3/b/excadrill_used_metal_claw__by_ethreain-d87x6en.jpg
Can you elaborate on what you mean by cohesive? I’m just confused by what you said.
Gym leader designs, Pokemon designs, region design, overall “feel” of the game. For example, Hoenn was very tropical all around and that showed in most aspects of the game, Sinnoh was very mountainous and cold and I think the native Pokemon all blended well.
Unova on the other hand, is a geographical disaster and the Pokemon are all so random .
That’s a good point. I can definitely see what you mean by cohesiveness in Alola now.
oh you mean like how we had a desert, and a icy mountain not even that from each other?
I’m gonna be in a minority, judging by the early votes, but my favorite was Roxie. I loved her personality and I loved her relationship with her dad. She loved him, but could also get upset with him, as in the case with him ignoring his captain duties. She had a temper to her and she really reminds me of myself in both of those ways.
Although honorable mentions are Elesa, Skyla, and Cheren as Gym Leader (he bothered me in BW, he beamce more tolerable in B2W2 and I loved his redesign <3 )
(Hoping to be back to commenting normally by tomorrow, I'm on the road back home and I can't be on all the time, I made an exception here since a new gym leader poll was up)
TeamRoxie yo
I don’t like her design, plus she didn’t do my favorite type, poison, justice in battle.
shes was a early gym leader too thats probably why
On a side note, I want to see late game bug and rock bosses, and early game dragon and ice bosses in SM.
honestly a late bug user could change the table alot
I can understand that 🙂 I prefer Elesa/Skyla’s design, but her design is nice. And she was an early gym leader so that could affect things. SHe could have been stronger if she was a later gym leader.
Skyla’s easily my second fav because of her design and her personality.
Though I do agree, her character development was good.
Grrrrrgggrggggrrrrrrr she in the anime really pissed me offed
Air Battles!!!!!!!! TIS A DISGRACE
I dunno she had too much forehead but in the anime he had dem bridge freckles….they are my one weakness
not worse then code lyoko foreheads
…..I too like that show…
its a good show, just the foreheads
Eeeyup
I don’t judge my favs off of attractiveness to me. Sure, good design is great, but what matters most to me is personality. She had a clear one, as well as Skyla, which is why they are among the top for me. THe other leaders may have had some, but I loved theirs the most because it was totally there.
I rarely do as well since none really do it for me
But unless we get some belligerent madwoman gym leader who plays for keeps….
Hopefully you’ll get your ‘Pokegal’ :). Lucian’s my Pokeguy, but only a little bit is because of his looks so to say. His interests really reflect mine, he specializes in Psychic types, and he’s very cool and collected.
oooo forgot to mention that she is the only gym leader who was in a band and it influenced the gym (it was a club and they were practicing) I found that super cool as someone who loves that kind of thing <3
Her Gyms music was the best
I really don’t understand all the hate that Unova gets. Sure it had some bad elements to it and yeah it had some bad Pokemon, but it still had a good story and a pretty huge postgame for both BW and BW2
Everything gets hate. Gen 4 is by far my favorite Gen and its gets shitted on the most it looks like.
Gen 5 had one of the best stories, evil teams and a good set of Pokemon. The only thing I can fault is the region itself.
I agree. They weren’t the most stellar games, but they weren’t incredibly easy like XY, had an actual post game, and a viable story. Plus the difficulty options were a plus.
People just didn’t see all the good it did
Fully animated Sprites
So many good and unique Pokemon
And so many good items, Rocky Helm, Air Balloon and….Evolite (actually could do without)
Type Gems
Team Plasma easily best villain
Fucking Hidden Abilities that nearly everyone relies on
Scald……
Battle Subway
And many more
also the generation included fluent trainer sprites and gave them all movement
I don’t really like the fully animated sprites much tbh
They just look kind of off to me.
Team Plasma was easily the best villain team ever created. Flare was a huge let down
I mean, they really did something truly special
Trying to liberate Pokemon by force, that’s just brilliant
Or the bad was enough to outweigh the good.
– The style of animation used (mostly sprite transformation) paired with a lot of zooming (sprite zooming just does not look good)
– Scaling EXP meant that your team wasn’t going to be much higher than the wild Pokemon unless you were willing/able to go Audino hunting (which wasn’t always an option)
– Trainer and Gym Leader levels were generally 4-7 levels above the wild Pokemon and, by extension, your team (lots of time spent either running back to a Pokemon center or money spent on healing items).
As much good as B/W did for the metagame, Team Plasma didn’t really live up to their potential and some of the mechanical quirks detracted from the fun of the single-player experience. Gen 5 really suffered from trying to break convention while at the same time being somewhat shackled to it. The games weren’t bad by any means, but Unova remains my second least-favorite region (the first being Hoenn) and Gen 5 my least-favorite gen.
the hate is unwarranted, if people don’t like it thats fine, I think we should just love all the pokemon games just in different orders, like I do with pokemon and zelda, they have a ranking in my mind but I don’t need to spread it around or inject it into things all the time so everyone knows my ranking, all the games are great, and without them none of us would be here ^_^
Also Unova was great 🙂
Gen 5 was amazing! My only issue with it was the region, nothing really special about Unova apart from Castelia City. It’s because of Gen 5 I had such high hope and expections for X/Y.
Gen 5 is great. I think region works well too, although city to desert was a bit jarring
las vegas?
I guess that’s fair, but Las Vegas also isn’t situated on an ocean. Not to mention Castelia is supposed to be New York basically
oh well idk, I’m not from the US so I don’t really know 100% about what its like, and yeah I know the castlela -NY thing, but idk 😛
Yeah as far as I can tell they basically wanted Unova to end up being an amalgam for all of the U.S., from New York to the rainy Northwest to the desert-hot Southwest, I mean the U.S. Is such a massive country with so many ecosystems and cultures within it that they must have had a hard time fitting it all in there together, but like for instance the orange Charizard bridge I think was meant to be the Golden Gate Bridge but the gym leader for the city closest to it looked like a cowboy businessman, so. Also there are big cities in the desert states here, like Phoenix and Las Vegas to start like the previous commenter said. It’s my favorite region and my favorite generation yet because of Cubchoo/ Beartic being my favorite Pokemon ever and Brycen being my favorite gym leader of all time (although I do sometimes wish they made him look a little less… Feminine?) And I haven’t played through X and Y yet ? But I will, been so poor I bought the game and haven’t yet bought a 2DS to play it on but I think I will relatively soon especially with Sun and Moon now coming out.
LOL look at this kid keithiwb trying to delete all his comments where he said “magnets making people fly like Superman and animals with glowing eyes making heat vision possible is more realistic than U.S. government overspending,” something that is actually real, lmfao.
Why did you delete all your comments, mcnugget? How about you just don’t say stupid things to begin with like that gem up there and “Bvs made $620M profit,” then you won’t have to delete all your comments later when you go back and read them and see how dumb you sound. Lol. Oh don’t worry, if you get this one deleted or try to delete any of your other comments, I can still find you and reply 😀
Let me guess, you’re gonna delete every comment you’ve ever made so I can’t reply to you anymore? LOL go for it! That would be FUUUUNNNYYY!
Comingsoon.net banned me, idiot. Not gonna get banned from this website, so you know what? Do your worst. Not gonna respond to you at all, in any other websites including this one. Have a nice life, good luck with all your problems, do your very worst.
HAHA get banned, little mcnugget. It’s very much deserved. Next time don’t spread false information or say completely dumb sh*t and maybe you won’t get banned.
Just a thought! 😏
I only dislike BW for the lack of Pokemon that I can make a team with. There’s like maybe 6 or 7 pokemon I like from the region that are available to me early.
I love BW2 because it has the good pokemon from Gen 5 and all the older ones that I love.
The show is my problem I loved the games
Here’s a question.
Which Pokemon from other regions would you want to be able to catch in Alola without transferring?
I think Larvesta would work well.
I want things in the right places,
Larvesta only in the depths of the volcano
Ice types in the mountain
All I care about is finding Rockruff early, like first capture early
Yeah. I hope that 26 Ice types thing isn’t true. There’s only one icy place.
I mean some could be around the base of the mountain
But yeah 26 ice types my Rocky ass
Isn’t Rockruff a gift from someone?
Says nobody
I thought that the professor gifted it to you or somethin. I would’ve swore I read that somewhere.
I’ll save you some searching, it was some stupid Reddit post which isn’t true unless proven
So at this point, no official gift Pokemon acknowledged
there will be gift pokemon and in-game trades but lately they’ve been lacking
I didn’t read it on reddit lol
seeing how we have ice type vulpix u may be right
I want Larvitar because Tyranitar is my favourite Pokemon.
Scyther. Although it would be nice to find it earlier in the adventure this time
Alolan Scyther 😉
As long as it doesn’t look stupid Id be fine with it
……but then what about Scizor
I ran the numbers and the earliest chance of obtaining a Scyther is in Platinum around early 20s
But I cannot stress this enough they will always be like a 5% chance,
Don’t forget bug catching contest in Johto. You can get them around level 14
Ehhh only specific days
Still a extremely powerful Pokemon for early use
True. That’s why I liked HGSS so much. Scyther before Whitney, Heracross right after getting headbutt in Ilex Forest and head butting trees in Azalea. Also Golem being a beast throughout the whole game 🙂
Reminds me of my Nidoking
Just extremely powerful as early as level 16 and Thrash, that was simply one of the most powerful moves out there
Scatterbug, and all of them are ocean pattern
scatterbug i thought was based of ur geo?
Right, but only Hawaiian players had access to the rare ocean pattern.
we need a wonder trade feature just for Vivillon
Vivillon wonder trade? Sign me up!
If anybody is in need of a Hawaiian scatterbug, I’d be happy to catch some. Just give me a heads up and a little bit of time! 😀
I could use a monsoon one. Is that a possibility?
I have shiny one. And I’m pretty sure its legit. its at a pretty low level and I got it a very long time ago when the instagram shiny community was booming lol
@exeledus:disqus you want it? 🙂
I would love that! I’ve been trying to finish my collection for awhile
Yesss. It’s so hard to finish the collection
I’m usually all about the new pokemon when it comes to the new region but if I had to say one I guess maybe I’d like to see swirlix and seeing as how the old run down department store has them in their logo, its not totally impossible 😛 but yeah, I’m all for the new pokes
Nincada, for no other reason other than I like Shedinja.
Yeah! Me too!
Snorunt, sewaddle, blitzle, zubat (I know, I know but I love crobat), noibat, elekid, spheal, numel, I want a lot lol
Also mienfoo, venipede, ducklett, baltoy, combee, cubchoo, torkoal, and so many more!
Don’t worry. I’m sure we’ll get Zubat. Definitely. I hope we get Alola Zubat, Golbat and Crobat that become Dark/Flying because there are actually no poisonous animals on Hawaii. Also Hawaii’s only native mammal is the Hawaiian Hoary Bat. So they should be fuzzy
Woobat! I need my little fluffs to return
Sneasel so I can have my favorite Pokemon Weavile and it looks like it would live there
I also thought Lotad, Poliwag, Sandile, Chatot, Carbink, Dedenne, and others
I think alolan forms for crogunk and toxicroak could work well, perhaps. Frogs are really great at adapting to their surroundings. I researched this one endangered species of tree frog that adapted to living in city public fountains in central America because water was so scarce and their forests were being cut down.
To the best of my knowledge, Cane Toads were introduced to Australia from Hawaii (I think) and since they were introduced, they thrived and their numbers exploded rapidly. (It was also a joke in the Simpsons episode where Bart has to apologise to the Australian boy over the “which way does the toilet water spin” theory)
Frogs and Toads are very adaptable, especially those that can thermoregulate!
Ah, yes! The cane toad would make a cool pokemon. Probably poison/dark? Or pure poison. I watched a documentary in one of my classes about them and this one they showed was so HUGE. And Australian people used to friggen keep them as pets! Bad idea, but they didn’t know much better I guess
It would make a pretty cool Pokemon that could literally be a stand alone, really bulky and able to adapt to anything that attacks it. Make it a really annoying Pokemon, like Wobbuffet – which has one gimmick, and if you attack it incorrectly, you’d get punished
That sounds like a really frustrating Pokemon lol. But cool in concept. I want to have one now
I hope some day they make a game set in a region that mirrors Canada, they could include some pokemon based on some of our creatures from folklore and such, the legendaries could be a Mishepishu (water/dark) and the Thunderbird (Electric/Flying) as they are natural enemies, and the event legend could be a Jackalope. My gosh, a Canadian based game would just be so awesome XD
They could also have an Ogopogo legendary thats water/fairy
Isn’t the Jacalope legend from the Midwest? Or am I off my mark, I don’t know much about Canada.
The Jackalope became very popular in the states at one point because a bunch of taxidermist’s made fake ones but the legend itself is not entirely from the states, just north america in general, I thought it was a purely canadian thing for the longest time because its so much more well known here (or so it seems to me) than in the states but yeah, its both.
I feel like we might already have our thunderbird.
you mean zapdos? I mean yeah but it could also be an electric/water type as its the bringer or rain, I just thought if we were to have a region based on canada the Mishepishu and the Thunderbird are the most prominent mythical creatures to have a rivalry
I have a question for you probably wrong but are you The Lavender Swirlix cause I remember he was from Canada and just asking
Thats a good question
Canada……
https://youtu.be/pFCd4ZOTVg4
ew, southpark… not even pressing play
Dead to me
wouldn’t have it any other way
I feel the same way.
I just had a thought… If Minior is Rock/Flying; what possible Flying Moves would it learn?
I truly only see Acrobatics and Bounce
I could see it spinning really fast to achieve some others and the obvious flying type move “fly”
but also:
Mirror Move, Hurricane, sky attack, sky drop(maybe), tailwind, defog, and of course there could be some new flying type moves introduced as well
Mirror Move can work and those others are good yet Aeroblast is exclusive to Lugia yet who knows!
rightttt forgot about that, ill take that out
Aeroblast? Are you thinking….
It’s a sky born meteorite
The sheer fact that it’s a flying type is nothing less then a miracle
he’s saying it won’t have aeroblast earthen…
It’s a miracle from the Space men!
Ehhh it just honestly doesn’t strike me as very viable as a flying type
It’ll probably just learn like 2 attacks tops and they won’t be even good for it
A
Just a slightly better Carbink
Minior is going to be weak to 5 types, carbink is only weak to 4, even if one of them is a 4x weakness, so like… its not going to be a better carbink? what are you talking about…
Anywho, Miniors primary type is flying so most of its moves will obviously go towards that type so I’m seeing a lot of rock and ground, but like I said, it could learn some new flying moves if their is any
You do realize it’s Rock/Flying right? Flying/Rock is just absurd
And i believe they gave it Flying since they couldn’t give it levitate since they want to milk it’s Shields Down ability
But I’m confident that it will learn very little to no actual Flying moves since this Pokemon is actually a first, a Flying type that isn’t a winged creature, and the Flying Type is practically a Bird Type but since not everything with wings are birds but trailing off, I don’t expect it to get anything like Hurricane or Brave Bird
I’m 100% aware that its rock/flying? I made a typo in my comment I meant to say its primary type is rock, which I why I immediately followed that by saying most of its moves will probably be rock and ground. Also you do realize that not everything needs to have wings to fly correct?
And how many wingless Flying Types do we have
Hmm, gyarados (at least I doubt it can fly using it’s fins), the hoppip line, rayquaza, the drifloon line, fan rotom, and the kami trio in their incarnate form… That’s a decent bunch actually!
Fair enough but truthfully they hardly learn any Flying Type attacks (minus Rayquaza) naturally which is the root of this whole thing
Gyarados only bounce
Hoppip only gust and acrobatics
Drifblim only gust
Fan Rotom only Air Slash but hardly counts since the whole form thing
And only Tornadus learns any Flying Moves naturally the rest Jack squat
So its fair to say Minior’s flying type move depot will be very minimal
Yeah, that’s completely fair, based on evidence, it’s likely minior won’t have a very usable flying move palette. You never know, they might surprise us, but you’re probably right on this one!
Damn right I’m right
you’re kidding right? just because we don’t have many doesn’t mean that we cant have this one, my god earthen its like you’re incapable of thinking outside the confines of you’re clunky little box, open your mind, clearly you don’t read any great works of fiction, science fiction or fantasy, what a bore.
I am saying that Minior won’t learn any decent Flying moves
yes that was one of your statements, I never challenged you on that one
Everything is a challenge or a threat
must be difficult for you.
Brave Bird Obviously.
Peck, Wing Attack, Aerial Ace, Fly
A world of possibilities.
They don’t have wings dingus
They’re not birds, just a floating rock
That new episode of Steven universe tho
Smokey Quartz… Is….pudgy
And fabulous!
Yep
I’m gonna be able to watch in a half hour. Until then. No Spoilers…. Actually feel free to talk about Beta. I’ve already seen the whole thing :/
Then get the hell out of here while you still can
Will do. Cya in an hour 😉
Beat it
(Refresh)
Y’know they make your urine red
dont scare the children with false statements earthen
Look it up yourself
I eat them often, so yeah…
OMG SMOKEY IS MY FAVORITE FUSION AND I’VE WATCHED IT THREE TIMES AND STEVEN AND AMETHYST AND
MY DIAMOND, YOUR DIAMOND
SO INTENSE
Same!
hopefully once they fuse some more and get more accustom to each other that weird arm will be fixed, its the only thing holding it back
No the arm is on purpose. I don’t think it’s a first fusion quirk. She used it to help control her yo-yo
thats fair, I guess I just have a thing for symmetry, but if it works it works
I don’t like the implication that Marlin is actually just white and his tan makes him look african american. I also this post reminds me of how much these gym leaders fucking suck. By the 8th gym, I want to be doing a full 6 on 6 battle not battle three halfway evolved Pokemon, most of which can be taken out in one hit. They really dropped the ball gym wise this time around. Especially since at this point every type has been used a gym at one or another so the formula really felt tired at this point.
not every type lol, Dark type
I’ve never thought of Marlon as White or Black (no pun intended).
I always thought of him more as a Pacific Islander.
I can’t determine wat version exclusive is …….yeah Bruxish line and the next Water/Psychic r clear ……..wat else yeah u can tell the pokemons from Comefy to Bonene could but that’s not clear. http://i.4cdn.org/vp/1470688580204.png
Maybe the Salandit line and the grass type that follows, since they’re both three stage and gain fire in the second stage
Hmmmmm…….that’s possible too so exclusive fire type.
I wonder what the trio of water is based off of…
Just those ? ……due to my english I can’t analyze any of them except the dolphin and gorilla and maybe pseudo legendary.
I’d say Pawsumm and Comfey.
Maybe but I don’t think so.
Unova had the best music and best gym leaders (and gym designs).
Elesa is “cool” in every sense. She is cold, distant, and knows she is the shit. Definitely my favorite gym leader of any generation.
Unova husband Drayden ?
DEAR LORD MAN
SANTA DRAYDEN HAS A PACKAGE FOR YA
😀
Make sure you share with me
*Shows a Nincada terrarium*
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
A package
UM… KIDS LOOK AWAY
His beard is dumb AF
No
Um… Yes… uh…
…Do you have a gift for me…?
Don’t let kids sit on his lap…..
Drayden: What do you want for Christmas Little Boy
Boy: *Sweating unsurely* Umm…. Uhh… To… Get… Off… of you?
Boy’s Mom: SECURITY!!!!!
People like Marlon that much? I always thought he was the worst gym leader. At least second to chillie, cress and cilan
He was kinda a dick too.
Hehe there’s a fairy ground Pokemon on the “leaked” list… Where you at Earthen XD
Feh just some stupid dust ball,
Its in my army, its gunna crawl down the throat of your inferior rypherior and destroy it from the inside out
How’s it gonna manage that,
well you won’t know until its too late now will ya
I have dominion of Ground Types
and I fairy, which is its primary type 😉
He likes Slurpuff, and hates Swampert, so there are rare exceptions. <3
These are both true, well Half true, I don’t exactly hate Swampert per say but just never cared for it
And I only like Slurpuff to a very clear degree half the time they’re out to get me personally so they must be stopped
I don’t make exceptions anymore and love all fairies, they are my main, so I guess I like my type more than he like his lol, weird, but oh well
And since when did you gain control of them, what did you do to earn their loyalty
I dont control anything, they willingly lend me their strength because of my love and compassion for all of them, which means this little dust bunny will run away from your dictatorship of carnage and evil, straight into my fairy army that fights for whats right
That’s dumb
love is the strongest thing humans have earthen, you cant ever deny that, people give their lives for love, love conquers hate, love will always be the strongest force on earth.
Well Earthen ain’t got love no mo, ergo leaving me a hardened and bitter warlord bent for destruction and conquest
but I digress, we’re not 5 so lets not take this so seriously eh? 😛
I really hope that pokemon list is real. It has some super sweet new type combos. Bug/dark and Dark/Electric are all I’ve ever wanted.
Dark/Electric is likely the Pseudo, right?
Yeah, which makes it even better 😀
What do you think it might be based on?
Some sort of black hole/galactic beast.
I agree! And fire grass too! And bug and ice!!
Seems too good to be true. Sometimes that can be a piece of evidence against it, though weak. I do hope it’s true though for the most part.
That’s really the only thing that’s going against it though…. I mean, we’ll definitely find out on the 12th!
I would hardly say it’s the only thing going against it, but if we’re lucky (very lucky) we may see it later tonight or tomorrow!
Oh, true!!
Yeah! I was thinking, if real, the bug/dark type might be based on either the Jewel Wasp or the Dementor Wasp, given the typing/name!
I like how many poison types there are. I’m also happy with the small amount of Legendaries, gens 4 and 5 had too many.
Yeah, there are a lot of poison types, aren’t there? I’m happy with all the bugs and dark types 🙂
After the dismal gen 6, poison shall reign once again! >:)
Gen 6 was dismal for a lot of types :/
Poor earthen. Gen 6 had great designs but horrible type balancing.
Lol, yeah but there are a few that were meh to me. They just kind of stand out since there were so few overall
My poor ice types….
And bug ;(
Such under appreciated and under represented and weak types. I can’t say it enough. Buff ice with good Pokemon like bug got in gen 5. And make them better against other types offensively and defensively!
This needs to happen! Maybe the new ice/bug will be glorious in battle. Provided it’s real
I’m going to be in the minority but I voted for Clay. I liked how he was involved in the story for both BW/B2W2. He fought against Team Plasma in BW and was leading the other gym leaders at N’s castle. Yet in B2W2 he was still willing to let some of Team Plasma makes amends. Also he gaves us the PWT.
I choose Clay he is has a very Big business American theme to him
Y’know, Minior is quickly becoming a favorite of mine. With how much mind-blowing news we got in the last trailer, I feel like Minior was kind of overshadowed. I hope the list is real, because I’d love to see what it can evolve into! If not, I’ll still love it 🙂
He’s grown on me quite a bit, while Lurantis has done the opposite. I still like Oricorio more though.
Yeah, I think Lurantis is a very average Pokémon design. Not horrible, but nothing special.
Oricorio is indeed a brilliant Pokémon and I love all four of them 🙂
I cant wait to get a pink or yellow one tbh
What’s not to love about a round sphere that breaks open to reveal a colorful surprise? I’m gonna name mine “Wonder Ball!”
Im naming mine Gashapon and Star Bits
That’s a great name for it.
right? minior is lowkey amazing. like i cant point why is amazing but it is amazing
I was hoping that “if” the leaked list the Grass/Fire Pokemon would be a Tiki. But from the sound of the name, it sounds like it’ll be based on a Pepper. 🙁 I have to admit, some of the Pokemon on the list are uncreative from the sounds of their names or creatures/concepts we head before or are too complex. I don’t like the idea of a dolphin that evolves into different type for each of the Islands.
Triburn sounds like Tribal and Burn so there’s that but I think this list is a bunch of sh*t
Tbh that sounds EXACTLY like a name that TPC would come up with 😛 Personally I love this gen so far and think this list has lots of potential.
I’m gonna live Alola with all this!!
I meant love
I agree. The names and concepts of many of the Pokemon sound unoriginal or have been done or are too complex. Or I just don’t understand what they’re based off of because of the name.
delfin. enough said
this is the worst/best pokemon in fakemon history
http://pokemon-uranium.wikia.com/wiki/Titanice
Why must this be fake…
GF can’t call it Titanice. But It should be real tho.
Wut
*PUKES* omfg that is stuuuuuuuupiiiiiiiiiiid
It looks fine to me. 😀
(I have seen far WORSE ones. 🙁 )
That’s…amazing. I kinda want to play this game
Ultron clearly has lost his mind, permission for execution to prevent the spread?
Come on, he’ll be fine after playing that fangame… <3
I pronounce that Fakemon as Titanic-eh.
I’m not hearing a No, therefore
*Pulls out a mini gun*
Wait, permission means you’re waiting for a yes, right?
So the default should be no..?
Look do you know how effing expensive my freaking weapons budget is these days?
If I’m going turn a profit I need to start offing more people
Some of those fakemon are really well designed, I can’t help it 😛
It looks pretty cool.
I hate it …..I can’t try it though cuz I was looking at its pokedex first.
The leakers should be more Consistent with each others. http://i.4cdn.org/vp/1470702270156.png
This is even worse, it sounds like a freaking 6 year old wrote this
I didn’t know I am ok with previous leak but Beltigre is not good name at all for me I like those names more.
I do hope the Sarcastic Fringehead gets a Pokemon. It’s one of my favorite animals.
What kind of sick joke…. Arseger…. really…. (¬▂¬)
hahaha it’s miss spelling of Asperger but I like the rest of his names.
Is this one of the main leakers words?
I didn’t know but I don’t believe the theory of Island evolution it’s not logical at all.
Im gunna be that guy for a sec: isnt Marlon named after the fish, Blue Marlin?
Maybe but people remember this Marlin?
I said that before. But yeah.
I do wish they made up for their portrayal of their only Black Gym Leader.. . Lenora… By making one of the island leaders or whatever Black and more modern looking. To “correct” this in BW2 they replaced her all together.
They actually made it worse because they made a fake black guy instead.
Lol fake black
whats wrong with Lenora?
I would assume some people think she’s stereotypical. I still like her though. She’s cool.
She is but I like her still!
…. ok then I don’t see how thats a problem though, there are people out their that fit stereotypes, no matter what stereotypes those may be, they deserve representation too, I for one love lenora, and don’t see whats to get upset about, instead the narrative should be, yay cool, I hope there are more people of colour in the next instalment of various backgrounds and designs 😛
???
yes?
Yeah, I personally don’t have a problem with it because she’s a good character. However, it might’ve been better if they had made more POC with different personalities that are inspired by different cultures.
well tbh they might for S/M and I mean we already have 2, one being a rival and the other a trail captain so its a start
Well this guy looks black to me
actually looking at the picture very well he has white feet and and his pelvis area is white so he has a bad tan
Oh that must hurt if that’s not a tan but a burn
Possibly… But he could just be another islanders like Iris.. they use dark color ppl as a black replacement
also did you just skip over Iris?
… Google. They went out of their way multiple times to make sure people Knew she was Not Black
Really? Never caught on
well her skin is very dark so its not like she’s a white person with a tan, plus her shirt resembles and african dashiki to an extent, so maybe she’s not black per say but she is still a person of colour which is good for diversity in pokemon is it not?
I’m talking Black specifically.
That’s true. I always forget about her.
all offense, why is ugly marlon have so many votes? he is a flop
Sorry but he is by far one of the better looking of the bunch, and he has my vote. 😀 And he’s not black he’s Hispanic. there is a difference. 🙁
i think he is white with a bad tan. it doesnt scream hispanic to me. maybe carribean
True.
Yeah maybe. 🙂
It just drives me nut’s, that just because he has darker skin color he is automatically labeled a “Black person” Do people not realize that there are more than just “black” people who have darker skin colors.
i love tea!
LOL So do I. 😀
Have all the SU fans seen tonight’s episode because I have something to say.
You loved it right?
Yeah. But there’s something else I need to say. I need everyone’s OK first though because I don’t want to be the guy who spoils it
Me don’t care I like spoilers
I haven’t, sorry. I can leave if you need me to. :/
No. no. It’s Ok. I haven’t either
Let me clear that up. I haven’t seen the episode. But I’ve seen a clip.
I mean you can say it, I don’t mind spoilers.
I’ll say it as non-spoiler as possible.
Ok. I’m saying it.

I HAVE A NEW (2ND) FAVORITE FUSION. (Malachite will always be my favorite.
I like the pudge and yo-yo
I like how *cough cough* you know who…. got rekt
Well I’m a spoiler hound so I don’t mind, but my office filters the pics for some reason heh heh heh.
If only Disqus had PMs…
Oh thanks for the dots, I appreciate it! ^.^
No prob 🙂
I honestly don’t mind spoilers either, but I get curious whenever I see them and end up watching the entire episode on a computer. I prefer watching it on TV the first time, but when I rewatch it on TV, it doesn’t have that…. spark.
She is awesome yet I saw a soon to be episode that tidbit spoiled something but nothing big but look up SU Bubbled leaks if you would like to see (that’s the episode name)
Yeah. I saw it too.
I saw 10 seconds of it and thought Uh-Oh that’s gonna ruin your weekend plans!
There are several Pokemon on the leaked potential list I don’t understand are based off. Most of these just sound weird and/or unoriginal.
1.) The Cosmot family (Dark/Electric)
2.) Hydratom, Posatom, Negatom
3.) Pesp/Peskool Family
4.) Scruluse/Structor (Steel)
5.) Fiddlob/Calcua (Steel/Water)
6.) Cumbersum/Anenemie (I know Cumbersum is the Cucumber but what about the possible second Evolution)
7.) Cubbage, Meritote, Stalute (Fighting, Fighting, Fighting/Steel)
just those ? I don’t understand most of them.
Those are my top 7. I don’t understand most of them. With the world becoming more filled with legit looking leaks, I honestly don’t know what to believe anymore. It’s really sad.
2 has got to be based on atoms. Smallest Pokémon yet??
3 ) Pepsi-Cola? Lolz I dunno xD
5) A fiddler crab?
6) An anemone? *insert Nemo reference here*
That’s all I can think of atm
Isn’t Kingler a fiddler crab?
I think. But if we have more than one Bagworm Pokémon, why not more fiddler crabs..
Quasars
Atoms positively charged and negatively
Maybe Esp?
Some kind of structure
No idea
Anemime the wiggly shocky sea things
Living statue
I thought Anemime based on Anemia.
These things
http://actiniaria.com/img/title.jpg
wat those?
The sea annennemommeee however the frig you spell them
Anenome.
Wait that’s wrong. Anemone.
Just a gaggle of mouth turds
Hahahaaa I will practice on that.
SpongeBob will be happy about that one
http://youtu.be/tGVJTBwA3TY
OMG I was about to reference this.
Same
Great minds think alike 😀
Great minds watched Spongebob.
Honestly. Those writers were way ahead of their time
Sea Anemone
Oh these things called like this in english I didn’t know that.
the atoms are based on protons/electron. the pesp looks like to be the parallel with bruxish. anemie is something like a coral i think.
Cabbage! But I don’t get Panquake.
Panquake; The BREAK-fast Pokemon. When put in a stack with other Panquake, it can cause tectonic plates to shift, the only way to stop this is by drowning it in Maple Syrup. This Pokemon makes an excellent meal, especially when cooked with buttermilk. This is why it’s almost extinct… 😛
This is hilarious! xD
Lol.. the nonsense is spot on!
Banana pancakes are a popular Hawaiian food…this actually makes sense.
That’s true. I had the best banana pancakes there.
“Panquake. The Pancake Pokemon. It is said to cause earthquakes and the shifting of tectonic plates in Alola using a powerful move called flapjack. But because of it’s size and looking so tasty, this Pokemon often becomes eaten by the people of Alola.”
Pancake Tortoise?
1) Seems to be a black hole or something similar. A Quasaur, the supposed final in that line, seems to be inspired by a Quasar, which is like a big cosmic event thing
2) Hydrogen, Positively charged atom, Negatively charged atom
3) not sure
4) Structure? Something like a building or steel beams
5) Lobster probs
6) Separate pokemon. Cucumber and Sea anemone
7) Idk, but the last one sounds like salute. So something army inspired maybe, idk. Or a statue.
i was thinking the last pokemon on number 7 is a mixture of stalwart and salute
That seems right.
I don’t think the Cosmot line has anything to do with black holes
Well quasars deal with black holes in some way, not sure how exactly I’m not an astrophysicist, plus it might make sense given the dark typing. Idk though, but it’s cosmic based
You’re right actually, they have something to do with blackholes. I can’t make sense of this wikipedia article but it mentions them a lot.
Could be some Cosmo Dinosaur line.
1 – Space, quantum mechanics
2 – hydrogen atom and it’s subatomic particles (electrons and protons)
3 – pest? No clue
4 – things that make up come sort of structure, “screw loose”
5 – Fiddle may refer to the fiddle head of a darn before it matures alone with dew drop. Calcua isn’t apparent to me but the “-ua” may be from “agua”, Spanish for water
6 – sea cucumber and sea anemone
7 – almost sounds like a ranking system to me
Edit: FERN not DARN
Cubbage (Refresh)
Pesp peskool looks like a single psychic fish becoming school of fish with psychic powers.
Hm…that seems plausible.
For 7, I see cub, as in a cub scout, + badge; merit + totem; and statue + salute.
I feel the others have been discussed sufficiently.
Omg u guys… We all forgot… XY has a good black gym leader.. the rock type ?. I’d still like more tho..
Grant?
Yes
He has a cool gym at least.
Kiawe and Hau are also coming, although I don’t think they are necessarily black, probably supposed to represent native Hawaiians.
They could just be singed
thats a little dark don’t ya think
……you realize who you’re talking to right?
true
I’m still so dissapointed by the lack of Fire types… With a freaking Fire Themed Volcano Island.. ??
I wanted my Only Alolan Form to be Growlithe
Team:
Togetic
Robinroot
Growlithe
Posatom . .. I suppose.
Quasar and criptic the ice fighting interest me
I bet there are a good amount of old pokemon with alolan fire forms though!
Alright Earthen is finally going to sleep in his own bed for the first time in a week
If you have anything to say to mah face say it now
Bye-Bye!
Wow. Those 7 Pokemon families from the leaked potential list are even more unoriginal than I thought. A Blackhole as a Pokemon? No thanks.
Well it also appears to be dinosaur based. It sounds sweet to me…idk
Oh yeah. It has Saur at the end of it’s name. Maybe it was the last of the dinosaurs in the Pokemon World to go extinct. xD
Or our cosmic dinosaur overlord has come to destroy humanity.
Don’t judge them until you see them. 😛
What blackhole pokemon?
So anyone think we’ll get leaks tonight? 😛
Wednesday
And I get Bloodwork that day terrfrigginrific!
Sucks to be you
… ?
Maybe
Oh .. ppl like u keep reminding me we are waiting when I forget! Lol. It’s an easier wait when u forget about it!
Every moment I’m not here tonight, I’m like “maybe they’ve leaked, I should check”. I think I may have a problem.
I agree. .. ?
Maybe. If not, then magazine likely has nothing new and we’ll have to wait till the 11th (12th in Japan. 10am for the announcement, so it will be on the 11th for most time zones).
Wasn’t it 10pm like usual? Or is it really 10am this time.
No, Serebii said 10am. Unless it was a typo.
I just checked Serebii’s Twitter, he said 10:00 JST. And he goes by UTC time, so I don’t think it was a typo.
You mean 24 hour clock. (UTC is +0)
Anyway, cool! That fixes up my timer.
It’s nice that it’ll be at 9pm for me on the 11th. I won’t have to wake up early. Lol.

Yeah it was usually early morning before now it’s sunset for the North/South Americans.
I like how you guys talk as if leaks are scheduled. “Oh yeah about 10pm is when the leaks should come out” like what? lmao
No. This is the actual announcement on the 11th/12th.
It’s not leaks it’s an official announcement.
Lmao yeah that’s not how a “leak” works
Well. Cya. I’m gonna watch SU now 😉
Well. I was watching it but my parents wanted to change the channel…. *Sigh* I guess I’ll watch it tomorrow morning when there’s no one else home…
Ayo I just had this idea for a new cash grab EXP Pokemon
What about a Normal/Steel Piggy Bank Pokemon, they use their powerful sense of smell to search for iron ores, during the process they often discover gold deposits, after years of finding riches many claim this Pokemon brings good luck
They would have a massively high exp yield and they either come with Pickup and Illuminate
Earthen, I thought you were going to bed. Wtf. Stop disappointing me
I haven’t finished my nightly rituals
Well sacrifice an infant like normal people and get on with it.
He needs to feed his daily kidnapping victims to Frank, the Squid that lives under his bed.
Okay now that is seriously messed up.
he’s got one of those too?
We can call it Boarbank.
You know, Boarbank, Calif…
that’s a really neat idea and I love it, but i’d give it a more specific pick-up ability that finds either mushrooms or nuggets. for a name, how about Suideposit, or, like listed below, boarbank 🙂
Hoggrab, perhaps? Coink?
Suppose were getting leaks tomorrow of corocoro, anyone know what time they might be coming out for central us? I don’t want to be checking every hour at work in order to fuel my pokemon obsessed life.
I think it’d be late at night
Voted for my dragon daddy! <3
GUYS CHECK SEREBII.
…there’s a new Pokémon GO feature being tested and it looks really legit. Well done, Niantic!
i thought you were talking about the corocoro leaks…
That was indeed my intention ;P That being said, the new feature does look pretty cool.
well guys let’s get the Majora’s Mask meme in place,because tomorrow’s going to be the three days until the new info on Pokemon Sun and Moon. 🙂
The dolphin pokemon actually based on Porpoise do u imagine how amazeing it will look like if it looks like that. http://vignette4.wikia.nocookie.net/animal-jam-clans-1/images/d/d0/Porpoise.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20151103201216
Hmm .. not the cutest animal
I am not looking for cute…..r u even aware who ur talking to?
No. ..
Ok be aware next time.
.. k
……..
By the way, “do you know who you’re talking to?” or similar is an intimidation/threat in English. I don’t think that’s your goal when you typed that, though.
of course not but it’s so oblivious I like the badass and creepy character not the cute one.
Well not everyone can see or remember all your posts at a time, so it is helpful to just repeat that you prefer certain kinds of designs or characters. <3
I don't expect you to memorize my favorite types, for example. 🙂
I remember u like the blue pokemon.
