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!

X — EVAN
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.
http://www.timeanddate.com/countdown/generic?iso=20160812T10&p0=248&msg=Countdown+To+Info&font=cursive&csz=1
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.
