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!
Greetings Junglers, Evan here! I’m bringing you the winner of the Showdown of Sinnoh, somewhat later than planned. The winner of the Sinnoh Gym Leaders is… Volkner with an astonishing 36% of the votes. There hasn’t been a Gym Leader who was so popular compared to its region’s Gym Leaders yet!

[poll id=”104″]
X — EVAN
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……

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
