The trailer for Pokémon Sun & Moon has been released early (which made me pause Nathan for You) and contains information we saw from the leaks earlier today! Here’s a recap:
- Team Skull is revealed along with its leader Guzma and Admin Plumeria
- New Pokémon Wishiwashi and Pyukumuku are shown in battle, both with interesting animations (Innards Out, which does damage based on Pyukumuku’s health before the final blow that KOs it!)
- The trailer reveals one brand-new Pokémon Morelull
- We finally see Alolan Meowth, Raichu & Marowak in action. It is heavily implied Pikachu & Cubone do not have Alola forms
<3 PJ
Dat sea cucumber ability is crazy
It’s Aftermath 2.0, unless it damages half the max HP
Could be if the opponent wipes you out on full health you take them down with you (note the sea cucumber has just healed up to max HP before Hariyama attacks)
Alolan Raichu looks like a Greek God pet.
Some neat stuff revealed this week. Team Skull looks good.
Hopefully we will get more gameplay in future trailers, I’ve got enough Pokes.
So this trailer confirms that normal Cubone in Alola evolves into Alolan Marowak.
But if we transfer Cubone from XY will it evolve into regular Marowak? Or just being in Alola means that it will evolve into Alolan form…
Being in Alola would make them evolve into their Alolan forms. They evolve to adapt to their surroundings. Which makes me think, if the Ledyba in Alola will evolve into an Alolan Ledian.
We don’t know if Ledian has an Alolan form.
I know, I was just saying like what if it did.
No. They have to be Alola born to evolve into their Alola form. Proven by them stating, if we want the original forms.. we must transfer them to the game. Meaning want a regular Raichu? Transfer a regular Pikachu to Alola first.
I also think this will be the case. I think these Alolan forms are example of hundreds of years of adaptation to Alola region. So Alolan born and raised (regular looking) Pikachu will evolve into Alolan Raichu. On the other hand transferred Pikachu will evolve into regular Raichu.
what the fuck ? why there is no alola pikachu and alola cubone ???? thats very stupid 🙁
Each Pokemon species is different, and those ones did not need to adapt. Vulpix and Sandshrew are unique in that way.
then why the change ?? also marowak changed to adapt to its predators which obvously should prey on cubone aswell
Well pure electric Pikachu evolves in alolan raichu electric physic i Can get by, but ground cubone in ghost fire marowak is just odd
U should wait until the revel the dex entry.
they already mentioned that the reason why they got these forsm was to adapt to the nature of alola, If their previuse forms can adapt I cant see why the evolved forms cant !
With Pikachu I understand it, it needs an evolutionary stone and that could affect it.
But Cubone totally goes of the chart, I understand adding fire type but why add ghost and taking of Ground completely.
But maybe this is just an example for an out of Alola imported Cubone.
Today was crazy awesome. I wanted to enjoy it fully with you guys but I was playing at the beach during the events. I still tried my best to see the leaks as they happened 😛 Alolan Raichu is one of my favorite things to happen with these games thus far.
It grew on me visually
…. ?
I do hope Raichu walks on feet majority in Anime though.
And if Sea Cucumber is speedy. .. may use it ?
I also guessed the fishes ability. It seems a bit like defeatist.. like it will be useless after loosing half hp. So I worry it won’t be competitive enough.
U can kill higher level Magnezone with it is very powerful …90% I will use it.
I understand, but Archeops has Amazing stats as well before it loses hp. Just sayin
I really dont know why they changed raichus mouth to make him look as cute as pichu ? he is even cuter than pikachu :/ even worse he evolve from normal pikachu
I get you’re disappointed.. ive complained about things too… But forum after forum.. you keep posting new comment after comment about your anger over the same thing. Why not try staying under your original comment..
I’m not posting you I post on pokejungle lol
I wonder if you would have said the same thing if I was praising its cutness, both are considered opinions
No because one is just negativity. I understand a complaint, as I do myself. But I know not to over do it, as to annoy ppl. Raichu isn’t my favorite, just saying.
Is that a Delibird I’m seeing near Hala? And there’s something colorful too nearby. I wonder if that’s a Pokémon…
Good eye… I think it is a Delibird
That’s not Hala 😛
Its his smexy twin brother I hope
Oh yeah, not Hala. They kinda have the same size and vibe and I focused more to that Delibird and colorful things. Are those colorful things.. Minior?
Oef Hala’s outfit in this vid. All I have to say is yum
I like how Raichu surfs using its own tail, but is it unaffected by ground moves? (if it is then it’s worth using it). I used one for the first time the last time I played Y but it wasn’t that strong so hopefully he’ll gain more stats. And I understand they want the Fairy type to have more pkm considering it was released last gen but what’s the point of these miniature pkm that you can easily kill by stepping on them? Fairies could be so cool but they only keep going for the same pixie look. And finally, I can’t wait for them to reveal a good dark type a la Zoroark. Praying for that
It’s still weak to Ground. But, it’s stats will likely be upgraded.
Also now it will likely learn electric terrain which it couldn’t before.
With its High Speed already doubled.. and Sp.Atk increased by 50% for 5 turns…
It will Surely be a force to be reckoned with. Even if it’s frail.
And don’t forget it also is getting strong Psychic moves to go along with its speed ?
I meant that it’s levitating, so will its ability work a bit like levitate?
No. It’s ability doubles it a speed when electric terrain is on the field. Like Swift Swim does for water types in rain.
Oooh, where did you find the translation? (or do you speak Japanese?)
No.. this was revealed hours ago. You can go to Serebii to get it all also.
I would say no, there are many Pokemon that are up in the air but don’t have Levitate ability, e.g. Beedrill, Magnemite family, etc.
Which’s kind of dumb. How is earthquake even gonna touch a beedrill if it’s flying? I never got that
Tbh imagine Sandcastle+Trapinch combo.
there’s that mushroom, confirming the pretty much comfirmed chinease leaks even further. BTW, what exactly does insides out do? it just destroyed that hariyama.
Serebii says it inflicts damage to the pokemon that makes it faint
I see ……I thought its ability work like destiny bond.
that seems kinda vague. hariyama is a pokemon with a lot of HP, and it took away THAT much…
It’s basically Aftermath, although it may be a stronger version.
Yo… . Raichu bout to be Op. Only problem I can think of is if you use nuzzle to boost electro ball ..that kind of wastes a turn if using electric terrain Also. Plus a super speedy Psychic type..
Might have to use one instead of water archanine if that’s real ?
I totally forgot, we also didn’t get Bewear’s pre-evo today. That whole page is CoroCoro-exclusive. We can expect those to be revealed sometime later this month (hopefully).
Ugh… That’s just a waste of time now. Unless they show a fair amount of new pokemon at same time.
Bewear’s pre-evo and Sandcastle didn’t appear ….maybe in english version.
That’s a good point, it’s safe to assume that until tomorrow. After that, we know it will be grouped with other new ‘mons in the next big update.
Wat is that thing that behind the old man ? I am aware to Delibird though. http://i.4cdn.org/vp/1470903739977.png
Minior I believe but I could be wrong. It would seem like they make good plushies haha
Looks like a pile of fruit. Could be a place to get multiple berries or something.
It’s looks like cubs.
I would wish it was the anime’s colorful Pokemon eggs, but my mind tells me it can’t be that…
really liking pretty much everything about team skull.
Hmm, Ground to Fire/Ghost seems like a pretty big jump. Wished Cubone would get a form. Oh well.
shiny raichu better be greyish white if its the alolan variant.
I can totally see Meowth getting spoiled rotten by the royal family.
Holy cow! Its a small detail but, can I just say, its awesome that team skull uses more than just normal poke balls for their pokemon, You can see them throw out 2 nest balls and then an ultra ball, I love it!
I love the fact that team skull members use different pokeballs (safari ball, ultra ball, etc). I am a sucker for small details like that.
nest balls
Oh yeah. Didn’t pause the video the first time.
Standard Pikachu evolving into Alolan Raichu is fine, but Standard Cubone evolving into Alolan Marowack is just strange…
Also I love the Team Skull Logo.
exactly
agreed
R.i.P. Cubone?
Standard cubone evolving in alolan marowak is almost impossible. Ground to fire/ghost is too strange! Is it possible that they’re just keeping cubone/pikachu/exggcute for a future reveal? They seem to cut on the evolution…
With Pikachu and Exegcute its fine, it makes sense, since they keep the same primary typing.
With Cubone on the other hand….that’s just too weird
Maybe there’s a spiritual theory behind his change of typing? I mean, ground can represent that one is attacked to earthling things, but when they die they transcend that and go to heaven (ghost). The fire could represent purification and it maybe has some ties with the death of the Cubone’s mother. Idk lol
What if Cubone actually die during evolution and transform into Alolan Marowak?
(Or at least they still live but they become ghostly.)
we also have confirmation that the opposing trainers poke balls can be different , while the grunts are using safari balls , the girl leader is seen using an ultra ball. Neat little touch that adds to every trainer its own trait and whatnot .
…. why do people keep saying safari balls… they are nest balls
People love Safari Balls!
. .. not gonna say what I was about to say -,-
say it lol,
they are nest balls in the trailer though, regardless of if people love safari balls or not
No.. . It was Pokemon inappropriate ?
Ballz joke… Hehe
I love balls, we need more balls in pokemon
(I’m actually serious I want more like we had in HGSS/GS)
lol
Ok.. there.. said it ?
I love balls too.
Well he is a nice guy. . .
The Ghost typing for Alola Marowak is obviously a reference to Cubone’s mother
Oh cool… And fire because she went to.. . ?
this comment killed me XD
Someone post it on tumblr!
Uh, nah. It is part of the weapon. XD
Because it adapted to the volcanic enviroment in its habitat
Alola Team:
Togetic
Rowlett(Final Evo)
Arcanine (Water Alolan)/ Pyukumuku ?
Raichu (Alolan) ?
Really didn’t want 2 Alolan forms. .. but if both turn out awesome.. well heck!
I am a genwunner! ?
No you’re not, you need 100% Kanto Pokemon for that. Including ditching the starter.
Lol. I’ll use a regular pikachu as my starter then. ..fine?
Nah, not enough. Togetic has to go. XD
And I know you won’t do that, so you’re not a geewunner.
I love that you love togetic (even though togepi’s cuter 😉 ). It’s like your starter in every game, right? I kind of have the same with zorua since it was released but not using him the first time I play SM)
Yup! ?
Lol…. And if you say so.. to that Togepi comment.
Togetic actually has good stats with eviolite and its moveset also. So it makes me happy ?
I had forgotten about eviolite! What moveset do you use?
Battle me in Sun&Moon and you will see! ?
Plus. .. I’m still working it out ?
Deal!
What kind of a genwunner wants to play Sun and Moon anyway?
That’s now something to be proud of????
Ugh… I rly like minior too… Doubt I’ll use though..
Less it gets Really speedy.. hmm
BREAKING: Pikachu beats Tyranitar! Ash v Alain ongoing as we speak!
Oooooh….shit, almost forgot. Gonna wait for the ep pics on Serebii.
Wait no! Don’t spoil it plz! I’ll watch it soon.
Current score is Ash-Alain 3-2
Talonflame, Noivern and Hawlucha are out
Bisharp, Unfezant, Weavile and Tyranitar are out
OMG, Ash can win?? I hope he wins this
PIKACHU BEATS METAGROSS
Pikachu taking our both Tyranitar and Metgaross like its nothing.
Actually I’m happy it was pikachu that got to take them out as opposed to Ash’s other much weaker mons.
Bisharp is still in.
I think next episode will go:
Charizard beats Pikachu
Goodra beats Bisharp
Charizard beats Goodra
Charizard v Greninja for the decider.
In just watched live stream .. so happy! Ash Pikachu Power!
Also kind fo what Alan gets for focusing on training Charizard so much
DONT READ IF YOU DONT WANT SPOILERS! Hawlucha beats Weavile. Current score is Ash-Alain 2-0
Dude…. Stop. It’s too hard to avoid your comments when looking for other ppls new comments…..
Unless you do
Spoler:
.
.
.
.
. And so on
Or at least stay under original comment
where did u watch that?
Am not atm, sharing from someone who is watching it. I usually wait till English subs are available.
If the localization team makes the members of team skull speak in a “hoodlum” type of way I’m gonna scream. In a bad way.
Well you see, those X&Y punks? That’s our clue if they will do it…
Sadly that’s exactly how they speak in the Japanese version.
I’ve started translitterating it.
They use phrases like ‘dazae’, ‘dayo’ and ‘atai’ which are typical hoodlum ways of speaking.
Ehhh I mean how they made Marlon speak… I don’t mind “thuggish”… I don’t like “f***boy”
Okay this is what I meant is annoying af
“Sup, you must be here to challenge the Pokémon Gym! I’m the Gym Leader, Marlon. Sorry to make you look for me, yo. I was swimmin’ with the Pokémon, and it felt real good, so I kept goin’ and goin’. I’ll be waitin’ in the Gym, ‘K?”
Marlon is trying too hard.
I think we missed many thing. http://i.4cdn.org/vp/1470896530688.png http://i.4cdn.org/vp/1470908033333.gif
Lmao the second one is the reflection of the sailboat
http://i.4cdn.org/vp/1470906030086.png
that strange though i always thought that fish is actually Bruxish.
It is. You can clearly see it in high-quality versions 🙂
I was just wondering, if I have a Cubone in ORAS, and I were to evolve it in S/M; would the Marowak be Alolan or regular. Meaning only Alola native Cubone can become Alolan Marowak.
We probably wouldn’t know until we get to try it.
My money is on region locking (i.e. alolan cubone becomes alolan marrowak, imported cubone becomes normal marrowak)
Alolan Pikachu……unfortunately for u it’s fake. http://i.4cdn.org/vp/1470894597414.jpg
Well… This would be enough for me to at least not hate Pikachu that much. Looks quite good.
That would have been awesome. Seriously, Alola forms only make sense if the entire evolutionary line gets them, not just select parts of the line :/
That said, I’m suddenly struck by how Bald pikachu looks.
Maybe orange isn’t the best colour for a Pikachu.
Something tells me Wishiwashi isn’t going to be all that great :/
Defeatist. It may be a great candidate for a Z-Move though. Quick power.. sweep quickly
This episode once again highlighted what Ash’s Pikachu is capable of. No idea why the writers always reset it with a new region. Taking out two pseudo-legendaries like that, I’m speechless.
The lighting engine in this game is soooo much better than 6th Gen’s
The camera is Insane also!
Anyone noticed how Guzma has TWO bracelets? It could mean that he has a mega bracelet and a z bracelet, AND that megas are returning and there maybe new mega evolutions.
Ppl already believe there is a mega slot under the main bracelet
Good observation tho
Yeah I also heard about that
Alolan Raichu is basically the Silver Surfer
I need a Poison/Dragon based on a Chinese Dragon/Snake
We have a Poison/Dragon, Dragalge
I know and I love it, but I need one based on a Chinese Dragon or a snake
Pyukumuku. . . . -,- this name is too long, and hard to say. Even harder to spell. Ppl will refer to it as Pyu
I think it’s quite easy to remember and say.
Half of it is just u sounds.
For u..
Just be thankful it’s not John Jacob Jingle Heimer Schmitt or Bonzoon Pidenpaddleopsockhopolis the 3rd
Just separate the name: Pyu – kumuku. Not complicated
Actually you’re supposed to give each syllable even stress, like in pi-ka-chu. So pyu-ku-mu-ku.
Ironically it’s like Makkapakka.
I said to separate it in order to memorize the name more easily, I didn’t say that’s how we’re supposed to pronounce it. My native language’s Portuguese and pronouncing Japanese names is not hard at all. (idk if pyu’s name is Japanese but it sure sounds like it)
Portuguese has a few similarities to Japanese.
Obrigado vs Arigatou for example.
(Literally the only Portuguese word I know)
I speak the Brazilian version, so open vowels are pretty easy for me. I’ll teach you a new one: Oi means hi 🙂 (I almost never speak Portuguese anymore so I’m not the best person to teach you the language haha)
Understandable.
I used to know a Portuguese man who moved to England. He anglicised his name to ‘John’ and if you met him you’d probably never realise he was Portuguese.
Sadly he died many years ago from cancer.
Oh, that’s sad :/
I live in France (here for uni but I’m probably going to stay around afterwards) and even though I speak French fluently people can recognize that I’m not French (little accent, but def not Brazilian). Same for English, I used to study at an American school in Brazil but I’ve actually never lived in an English-speaking country (I’ve been to London once for a few days but that’s it). I have a sis who’s studying in the US though
Yeah, I think it’s been about 9-11 years now.
Neat.
I’m not very good with speaking foreign languages. I can speak a bit of French, German and Japanese, but often get them mixed up.
Also most of my Japanese is impolite because I learnt most of it from watching subbed episodes of One Piece and Fairy Tail. n_n’
Luckily I’m better at programming, where I’m fluent in many ‘languages’ 😀
London is nothing like the rest of England. I’ve been there twice for day-trips and it felt like a foreign country. (Because of the way it’s built, not because of the people)
I love learning languages, but after my plans to go study in Japan didn’t work out I decided to stick to Latin languages which are easier for me. Currently learning Italian because I wanna go study there (I’m half Italian but I don’t speak it lol). Programming is something I could never do! Looks really complicated. And I actually really liked London, I love cities like that but I’m def going to visit other parts of England and the rest of the UK once I get the chance.
There’s pokemon with way harder names, like just about every legendary
I’ve been working on a translation but I’m not very good.
So far all I can confirm is that he’s definately referring to him and Kukui being similar and mentioning the Captains, so the quote about “fellow failed Captains” is almost certainly about Kukui and him.
Nobody cares ; n ;
You’re talking about the skull guy?
The boss of Team Skull, Guzuma.
Yeah, missed that bit out, woops 😛
Oh, so Kukui tried to be a captain but failed? Interesting..
I’m working on the rest but there’s a symbol I can’t identify. I recognise it but I can’t find my Japanese phase book so I’m working mostly from memory and internets.
So far I’ve found out that Plumeri claims that Team Skull are “in control” and they call her “ane” (elder sister). But I might be interpreting wrong, I’ve only ever had a few weaks of actualy lessons and most of my knowledge is just stuff I pick up from subbed anime n_n’
Team skull definately talk like misfits though. Probably one of the reasons it’s hard to translate – lots of informal stuff.
I used to study Japanese and every time I saw a kanji that I didn’t understand in a video (not possible to copy it) I used this website http://kanji.sljfaq.org/ (just write the kanji yourself then use a Japanese dictionary).
I don’t think it’s Kanji, but I can’t see it on the hiragana table. I’ve got a feeling it’s one of the R sounds though. It’s this one:
Which one is it? Is it hiragana or katakana?
Damn, copy paste didn’t work.
Uploaded to imgur instead:
http://i.imgur.com/ByN57O0.png
Ri. It’s ri but here’s just written in one stroke. (I think it’s a different font)
That explains it. The chart I was using to refresh my memory was using this alternate ri:
https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/7d/Japanese_Hiragana_kyokashotai_RI.png/75px-Japanese_Hiragana_kyokashotai_RI.png
At least my memory was right about it being an R sound 😀
Once you learn both alphabets for good you’ll probably remember them for life haha. Good luck with the kanji though, I’ve forgotten most of the ones I had learned
Katakana I can manage easily because they’re quite blocky and clear. Hiragana I can mostly get but the curls throw me off. Kanji I can remember most elemental words (fire, water, earth, air).
I’m about to post my entire attempt at translating Plumeri’s story text, so look to the new comments section.
So did Alan use 1 Pokemon from each gen? If so that’s so cool..
Too bad he didn’t train them as well ash Charizard.. on camera at least
Umm no he used two Gen.5 Pokemon his team is
Charizard
Tyranitar
Metagross
Weavile
Bisharp
Unfezant
123455
Pattern broken :C
I feel he could have added a power house Gen.6 like Gogoat, Avalugg, Pyroar, Pangoro, Trevanant but he uses Unfezant
Definately. Nobody likes Unfezant, it’s just an inferior Pigeot/Staravia 😛
Gogoat would have been my choice since that’s what I used on my playthrough. Did not regret that one bit. Thrashed Siebold easily 😀
Ironically my team actually turned out to be really good against the elite 4 despite me choosing them purely because I liked them, without knowing the E4’s typings. It only took me one attempt to beat the champion.
That’s cool my play through teams were
Chesnaught, Vivillon, Florges, Gogoat, Blastoise, Lucario, Sylveon, Carbink, Noivern

has this been posted? it’s from te new corocoro comic
It’s a fake.
It’s fake
Good to know
There’s even an entire article about it and its fakeness.
Havent been keeping up pn news lately, apologies
It was literally hours ago:
http://pokejungle.net/2016/08/10/rowlets-evolution-revealed-via-corocoro-leak/
I was there.
People got happy, then they got upset, then everyone forgot about it.
The end 😀
To be fair, even Paul thought it was legit, and I was convinced too. 🙂
I believe some of rumors said the team leader actually the Lillie’s father ……is Chinese rumor one of them? cuz that obliviously fake.
There was one that said that.
I don’t think it was the Chinese one, I’ll just check.
No, the Chinese leak was only about pokemon, Z stones and the lack of gyms.
good.
well guys,looks like tomorrow it’s going to be the big day,the English trailer for Pokemon Sun and Moon,Let’s cross our fingers this trailer will give us something cool! 😀
Well we’ve seen all the screenshots for the most part and the English trailer will just be the same as the Japanese for the most part – like how the Tapu Koko/Bruxish etc one was
No Alola Cubone 🙁 a ground type evolving into a fire/ghost type makes no sense. And neither does a fire/ghost Alolan variant being able to breed a regular ground type non-Alola variant. Its genes are supposed to have altered over time. GF didn’t think this through :/
See I told y’all they would muck up the system
It had so much potential…
And then they got greedy
Or lazy
Or…
“Where’s the guy who was supposed to make Alolan Cubone?”
“He started leaking pokemon, so we fired him.”
“Oh yeah, woops.”
Maybe Cubone has the genes but it needs to evolve for them to activate?
Ok, I’ve slogged through, this is what I’ve got so far.
People better at Japanese, please correct me:
atashi wa purumeri – I am Plumeri
sukarudan wo tabanete iru – Team Skull are in control
iunareba anegotte tokoro – So to speak they call me “ane” (elder sister)?
anta mo shitte no toori – in the same way that you know? (you as well know in the same way?)
(re/wa)nchyuu baka bakkari de nee – … stupid only with “nee” (sister)?
sateto atai no deban dane – now then, (it’s) my turn dane
I offer an (admittedly bad) full translation of what Plumeri says and nobody cares ; n ;
That’s the last time I attempt to offer people translations…
People dont care for Story details right now. Pokemon are more important..
From what I can tell from the translation is that this is possibly the first time the player meets Pulmeria.
It almost certainly is. same for Guzuma.
I think the most interesting thing about the translation is the way they talk though. Plumeri uses “atai”, which is a very informal version of “atashi”, really cementing the delinquent theme.
I’ve heard that a lot of the language they use tends to be slang. That’s pretty cool, we’ve got an evil team that’s not a professional organisation.
Yeah, it would make a nice change for a ‘gang culture’ villain instead of proper Yakuza/Mafia/Cultist style villains.
Well it looks like Guzma is clearly insane? lol
all the best people are crazy
They didn’t show the baby Bewear?
Apparently that + the sandcastles were “Corocoro exclusives” – like how Rockruff & Komala were
they still got put in trailers though… so maybe tomorrow
The english trailer is out and there’s no sign of them. Plus it was only later that the website was updated with the info of the two (I think it was with the Mudsdale video)
oh, I didn’t notice.. sorry
No need to apologise at all!
The whole Cubone to Alolan Marowak doesn’t make sense at the moment but that’s because for the most part, there isn’t much information on it.
What if you can only evolve Cubone with Kiawe/he gives you a native Cubone that has the potential to evolve into an A.’Wak? Maybe around the volcano, the Cubone learns dances that can summon the spirit of it’s deceased mother and upon evolution, being near to the fire & the spirits, it evolves? This combined with the fact that it’s trying to escapes the predators (maybe even Bewear seeing as it’s type counters it nicely)?
Maybe I’m just grasping at straws here but I’m sure there is a reason as to it’s typing
Maybe a Marowak Graveyard
Well the graveyard is on the same island as the active volcano (albeit opposite ends). Perhaps Kiawe is the one that sets up the memorial for Cubone/Marowak on the volcano where he trains
Pokemon usually don’t change their typing entirely upon evolution. Save for Eevee.
That’s why it’s weird a Ground Type Evolving into a Fire/Ghost type
If Marowack was Ground/Ghost or Ground/Fire it wouldn’t be a problem
Let it be said that I wanted ground/fire from the moment totem marowak was announced 😛
It’s too slow for that. It’d be instamurdered
Maybe they will evolve like Nosepass: Only in that volcano or something…..
Weird, but it’ll have an unique evolution method, I think…
You guys think he went crazy because they didn’t make him a trial captain? Or they didn’t make him a captain because he was crazy… can’t wait to find out his back story!
He’s not crazy, he’s just angsty and angry.
He’s probably annoyed they didn’t make him Trial Captain. So executes some type of revenge.
Honestly I see these guys as minor villains as opposed to main villains.
“Honestly I see these guys as minor villains as opposed to main villains.”
I refer back to my bait and switch theory.
The player spends the whole time fighting the nuisance gang, meanwhile a real evil gang has been achieving their goals.
I could see this happening. These guys, no matter how much I like them, are not threatening enough…at least not at the moment.
Might even be that they’re just the villain of the first island and that other islands are occupied by another team (or teams).
Yeah they don’t really strike me as areally villainous organization just a small group of thugs or really low rank grunts of the main organization
What if there’s gangs on each island and a real team that rules over all of them?!
Plausible. I would have only expected 2-3 teams though.
Potential for a Dark type Trial Captain (which would be kind of like the first Dark typed gym) – now the main villain haha
I wonder what the next issue will give us in Pokemon Sun and Moon Next?
Well we know for certain that it’ll contain Rockruff’s secret evolution thing
Like that time Corocoro ‘revealed’ the box art?
Well the way Serebii translated it was a “poster” of Rockruff’s secret evolution. Now I always take things with a pinch of salt especially when it comes to translations however I would say that a poster with Rockruff and even silhouettes of it’s evo(s) would not happen. I do expect actual artwork of it which could be potentially exciting
I Wonder what will Rockruff’s secret evolution will do?
Other than stop being secret once it has been revealed?
Well we will see.
My friggin gorilla
Rockrilla
http://www.ferreestudios.com/images/gallery/contactpagegorilla.jpg
Kongidol Rock/Grass
Needs more leaves.
Like maybe a headdress or crown.
Would “Rockong” be too awful a pun?
Well my original idea was a animated Wooden Monkey Carving Montiki
Then becoming a huge idol Gorrila
Couldn’t find many good wooden gorilla carvings, but I found the gorilla equivalent of T-500:

You would like a Rock/Grass? Never figured you as a Grass lover.
Everyone loves grass.
a Rock/Fighting,Grass/Rock or Ground/Fighting gorilla will be fine 🙂
Starter Evolutions and Rockruff Details
let’s hope so.
Team Skulls music is just. . . Magnificent. . . Like, easily my favorite theme I’ve heard. Maybe it’s just that deep “yeah” that’s ringing in my ear, but it’s awesome.
Agreed :3
It sounds too much like rap music, 90% of which makes me want to puke up a fist to punch the person ‘singing’ it.
I’m going to enjoy pumelling them though if they’re one of those awful ‘gansta’ types with the really crappy hand gestures.
canf wait till we get the English trailer and the website updates so we get some descriptions. What does innards out do? It doesn’t look as gross as I wanted it to.
It’s here
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=06bSt8nPLeg
English trailer is out, and I’m pretty positive that Kukui used to be in Team Skull.
so whens the next trailer coming out
Alola Marowak came to exist because of the high amount of Grass types in the Alola region. Its keen sixth sense triggered the change.
Website states that Guzma ”has a bone to pick with Kukui” so they are definitely connected, as was suggested by someone already yesterday. I think Kukui used to be a Skull member but went rogue because he disagreed with their beliefs.
The Marowak in the Alola region take bones and light both ends on fire by rubbing them against their foreheads. Then they spin the bones around! Marowak’s rarity and its fearsome appearance when it dances with its bone led the people of Alola to dub it a conjurer and regard it with fear.
There are many Grass-type Pokémon—Marowak’s natural enemies—in the Alola region. This makes Alola a harsh environment for Cubone and Marowak. As a result, they live in close union with their partners. It’s said that their great care for their partners allowed them to gain something like a sixth sense and resulted in their changed form.
The Alolan Marowak proves skilled at an attack in which it waves its bone and releases a ball of flame. The fireballs are not that powerful, but they tirelessly pursue the foe!
It did look like it used a new move. Some kind of Ghost-type bone attack.
So gamefreak also didn’t have a good reason to make Raichu psychic…
It still has my heart, but I would have loved some real lore.
Well, it is a children’s game, so I guess candy is a good excuse (not for me, but for their main audience, I suppose)
Due to their appearance and their lifestyle, Pyukumuku are considered unappealing to tourists. Part-time work chucking Pyukumuku back into the sea is available at tourist beaches. But no matter how far they’re thrown, Pyukumuku will always return to the same spot.
Once a Pyukumuku finds a place it likes, it won’t budge from it. If someone moves it away, back it comes to the same spot. If it runs out of food to eat in that spot, it’ll stay there—and starve. The people of Alola found this so pitiful that they developed a tradition of chucking Pyukumuku back into the food-rich sea whenever they come across any thin-bellied Pyukumuku.
Pyukumuku are covered with a slippery, viscous fluid that has a moisturizing effect. Pyukumuku can stay on land for a week without drying out. The people of Alola use this fluid for skincare products.
Pyukumuku hate to have their spikes and mouths touched, and if you step on one, it will hurl out its fist-like inner organs to strike at you.
Pyukumuku has a new Ability, Innards Out, which no other Pokémon has had before. With the Innards Out Ability, when this Pokémon faints, it will be able to deal one last bit of damage to its opponent, equal to the amount of HP it had left before it received the final blow.
JESUS CHRIST DO NOT 1HKO THESE THINGS
I love this pokemon, it is my baby
GUZUMA IS LITERALLY THE MOST BADASS POKEMON CHARACTER PERIOD
The Raichu in Alola have two types—Electric and Psychic—and they are able to wield psychic power. What’s more, they can gather their psychic power in their tails and then ride on them to float in the air!
Even Pokémon researchers don’t know why Raichu’s form changed in the Alola region. The people of Alola seem unconcerned by the question. Their guess: maybe it ate too many sweet and fluffy round pancakes!
Raichu has electric sacs on its cheeks, and rubbing them causes a sweet aroma to be released. The mechanism behind this is not clear, but it’s thought to be connected to the psychic power that Alolan Raichu possess.
The Alolan Raichu has a new Ability, Surge Surfer, which no other Pokémon has previously had. With the Surge Surfer Ability, the Pokémon’s Speed will be doubled on Electric Terrain.
…….Alright I’m personally going to destroy all Raichu, Alolan Variants are a joke now
Mother of Arceus!
Alolan Raichu doubles its speed in electric terrain?
That thing is going to be fast .w.
Cy’all later I got stupid work for the next bloody 7 hours
OMG Team Skull members have to buy their outfits in shops, Imagine if we get to wear those things, epic af.

New video
Already in the article haha
Damn, looks like I need to refresh then cause I can’t see it 😛
First rule of pokejungle: Refresh regularly haha
Pyukumuku and Cutiefly are now my favorites of all the new Pokemon, followed by Vikavolt and Morelull. I’m really exited to see their evolutions (if they have any that is)
Pyukumuku is adorable
Fell in love with it after reading its dex entry ^^
I still don’t get why many of you are complaining about Cubone changing types: yeah, it’s the first time it’s happened but what’s the problem? If you really need an ‘explanation’ to why that happens then just tell yourself that Cubone has the new genes but that they only become active upon evolution. + it’s perfectly fine if gamefreak wanted to give raichu a new form without a reason to. It’s Pokemon, don’t try to look too much into everything (we have a fish that turns into an octopus and this is shocking you guys?)
I think it’s less about unhappiness that it’s a normal Cubone and more confusion……Although the description makes sense for Marowaks change, it doesn’t really make any sense for Cubone to stay the same…..a ground type evolving into a Fire/Ghost type is quite perplexing lol
I see Marowak as a sort of shaman so a complete change in typing doesn’t seem that weird. They could’ve given cubone an alolan form but they didn’t, and that’s not gonna ruin the game in any way. And Pikachu’s probably not getting any because, well, it’s pikachu.
If they’d made the lore explicitly state ‘Marowak took up shamanism’ I would have bought that explanation. The current explanation is too loose and unbelieveable.
It doesn’t have to be explicit, just take a look at marowak + if they mentioned shamanism parents + religious people would again say Pokemon is the work of the devil etc
Pokemon already has worse stuff than Shamanism.
They should still make it somewhat explicit.
It’s just one Pokemon. Let’s see its pokedex entry.
Who said it’ll ruin the game? Also I think it makes more sense for Pikachu to not get one. Raichu is still part electric type so it doesn’t really matter if Pikcachu or Pichu get forms lol
I tend to think of it like this: Every single Pokemon is a single species. And by that I mean I look at a Pokemon and every stage in its evolutionary line and consider them each completely different species. Connected through a metamorphosis like evolutionary change. So they both have a real world evolutionary tract.
So with Marowak and Cubone, both species evolved separately from each other. Pokemon are know to be able to get really old without evolving, like that one elder Treeko from the anime. So if they can go through life unevolved then there species could evolve over time separately. So marowaks on the island became fire/ghost while the Cubone species didn’t need to evolve.
That doesn’t explain a normal looking ground type Cubone evolving into a ghost/fire Marowak.
Right because then the Cubone would just evolve into a regular Marowak hahaha
I think only cubone’s caught in Alola will be able to evolve into the new form.
Well yeah……that’s how the mechanic works hahahaha
So there’s nothing wrong with an Alolan Ground type cubone evolving into a ghost/fire Marowak.
No, the Pokemon are seperate species but are connected by a metamorphological change. This changed form would be in the pokemons DNA. Every species on earth has dna that isn’t active. So when Cubone are born on Alola, they will evolve into the Marowak of Alola because that’s what’s in the dna of those Cubone on that island. The two species evolved different but are connected still, even with those changes, by this metamorphological change.
That’s exactly what I meant 🙂
Yea idk why people try to make soo much sense out of pokemon
Sheesh they really didn’t care enough to make a reason for Raichu’s change lol Anyway interesting stuff. Although I can’t help, but feel like this is one of the more underwhelming announcements we’ve gotten. Cool stuff for sure, but it just doesn’t have that kick that the others had for me. An it’s not due to the leaks because event he other announcements that leaked had more more excited lol
Yeah I feel the same. Not sure why. I like all of these.
Yeah its not that I don’t like what we got, but it just feels like it lacks power lol
What?
I actually correctly guessed Morelull’s Illuminate ability?
(Admitedly I forgot there was already an Illuminate ability and created a new function for it, but still)
Eh, it’s a fluke
they didn’t say anything about the sandcastle Pokemon and Bewear’s first form.
Was that really a surprise after the Japanese video?
I guess not. But I’d still like to know about them. Bewear is one of my team Pokemon do id be nice to know its English name and stuff
It’ll probably come next time round, they left Rockruff and Komala out of the videos for a while after their reveals.
Patience is a virtue.
True. But I’m not a very patient person. Working on it though!
I’d suggest taking up fishing, but I don’t like the fish being disturbed.
I’d suggest bird watching but that’s just kind of boring.
Erm… reading? I dunno
Britney Spears has a new album coming out, that’ll keep me occupied. And I guess moving, work, life will keep me busy too.
She’s still around?
I guess it’s true, the 90s never die.
Welp, it’s probably better than the stuff that comes out of X-Factor anyway.
“It’s said that their great care for their partners allowed them to gain
something like a sixth sense and resulted in their changed form.”
I don’t buy it.
Pokemon makes no sense, i’ve learned not to question it
It makes sense when they get the lore right.
For example, Pyukumuku is actually really rich in lore and reasonably believeable.
http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/pyukumuku/
Oh yeah, thats true (And its also stupidly cute, don’t get how people don’t see it)
Look at magcargo for example
I agree it’s cute. The hand puking was no where near as gross as expected.
“Part-time work chucking Pyukumuku back into the sea is available at tourist beaches.”
Poor Pyuku… :C
Well…. if they don’t do it, Pyuku dies……
(Am i the only one naming it Kevin?)
Morelull is nocturnal, omg.
Pyukumu’s ability looks really handy.
“Pyukumuku has a new Ability, Innards Out, which no other Pokémon has had
before. With the Innards Out Ability, when this Pokémon faints, it will
be able to deal one last bit of damage to its opponent, equal to the
amount of HP it had left before it received the final blow.”
I love this mon
This will be such a difficult pokémon to take out.
Just give it max health and switch in to that dangerous sweeper. Instant kill
I forsee an uprise in the use of false swipe.
it shall happen, I don’t want my pokemon taking the damage that is a Pokémon’s health bar
And Hold Back lol
That’s an event only move, it’ll be rare to see that anyway, unless it can be bred onto pokemon as an egg move.
ohhh lol you are actually right and im not sure if you can breed it onto other mons
So the new evil team is commanded by Jared Leto’s Joker… Interesting
Wash your mouth out, Guzuma is better than that.
“Morelull are nocturnal Pokémon that walk around at night on their
leg-like roots. They move because staying in one spot and sucking all
the nutrients from the soil would cause surrounding plants to wither.
Morelull uses its leg-like roots to make contact with its fellows and
communicate with them.”
FINALLY
A mushroom pokemon done right.
I’m just about ready to become a full time grass type trainer with all the great grass types this gen 😀
So far my team is composed of
Litten (please let the leak be true, I want a fire/dark wrestler cat, and if it isn’t Litten better look as powerful)
Bewear- I shall name him Bow
alolan Raichu- I’m naming her Wattson
Oricorio- I’m naming Sensu Haiku
Sandcastle- I shall name him Guardian
that’s my team thus far
The wrestler cat looks weak.
I think you got your Bewear and Raichu genders mixed up – Bow is a feminine name and Wattson is a male name
‘Haiku’ and ‘Guardian’ would be reasonable.
And now for a real Haiku:
A bird in the sky
Oricorio flies by
How graceful it is
Guess it’s personal preference. I didn’t get the gender mixed up, I have a female friend who’s last name is Watson and her favorite pokemon is Raichu. I want to put a bowtie on Bewear so maybe I’ll name him Bowtie instead. And also, Such beautiful poetry *snaps fingers*
Surnames shouldn’t be used as first names/mononyms, that’s not how they work.
Besides which, most people are going to think it’s a reference to the Hoenn gym leader, Wattson.
(Also be careful people don’t read into you giving your pokemon the name of a person you know as an indication that you like said person more than you’re admitting, because that would be really cliché.)
Bowtie is better, much more gentlemanly.
dangit… I’m out of a Raichu name now, How about…. Fritzy?
Fritz/Fritzy is fine.
Personally I liked when Ritchie called his Pikachu ‘Sparky’ in the anime.
Then there was ‘Puka’ from “The Pi-Kahuna”.
I was thinking of Puka but then I thought that a lot of people are going to name their surfer Pikachus Puka. I was also thinking of Kahula but then I though how dumb that would be for an electric/psychic type. Sparky is a cute name though :D. thanks for the name help
Use a proper Hawaiian name maybe?
Kaimana means ‘ocean power’.
Kalea means ‘joy’
Malie means ‘calm’
etc
If you get stuck for names in future:
http://www.behindthename.com/names/usage/hawaiian
I meant surfer Raichus….
why are you policing this persons names? like, wtf
I’m just giving my opinion.
Are opinions banned now?
Naomi is perfectly free to say “I disagree and like what I’ve got already” – humans have free will last time I checked.
no giving your opinion is just fine, as long as you make sure others understand its an opinion, instead you made it sound like a fact with saying how things are wrong and how they should be corrected, this poor kid probably is now worried that they are going to get picked on for their naming choices or something when in reality you seem to be the only one who cares
Exactly. And this part: “Also be careful people don’t read into you giving your pokemon the name of a person you know as an indication that you like said person more than you’re admitting, because that would be really cliché. Ultimately though I’d just think naming apokemon after a real person is a bit odd. Especially when you have to pet them in pokemon amie.”
Me: WhO dAfUq ArE yOu To SaY sUcH bLaTaNt BuLlShIt??
https://media.giphy.com/media/peXVBGmimeEda/giphy-facebook_s.jpg
Don’t listen to Pharap. It’s your game and your Pokémon. You’re free to name them whatever the hell you want! Caught a Salandit and wanna name it Sammy? Go right the hell on and name it Sammy. Caught a Miltank and wanna name her Teets?
Go right the hell on and name her Teets!
Point is, don’t let someone tell you what the proper etiquette to naming a Pokémon is because there isn’t any. Wattson is a wonderful name for a Raichu, whether it’s male or female, and I think the name Bow suits a Bewear perfectly.
I’m allowed to give an opinion.
Naomi’s free to ignore my opinion.
All I’m saying is that it’ll save having to explain 100 times over why the male Beware is called “Bow” and the female Raichu appears to be named after a male gym leader.
You’re not giving an opinion. That all changes when you tell someone they should or shouldn’t do something, which is exactly what you’ve done.
An opinion: The name Fritzy would be a better name than Wattson.
You: You shouldn’t name your female Raichu Wattson as it’s a boy’s name. Surnames shouldn’t be used as nicknames. Name it something else.
See the difference? Don’t go telling someone what to do when trying to give an opinion because it doesn’t remain an opinion anymore. You’re projecting a preference.
This is perfect
The Haiku?
Bow isn’t feminine.
Have you not ever heard of the name Beau?
The name Beau is a French baby name.
In French the meaning of the name Beau is handsome.
But Bow is not Beau.
Had it been Beau I probably would not have said anything.
It’s the same shit. Bow isn’t even uncommonly used as a girl’s name. It’s rarely used. If anything, it’s unisex, but more often used as a name for males.
agreed, tbh any name can be unisex if you’re a boy and your parents name you like ashley and it becomes popular amoung boys then that name because unisex (ashley is actually a really popular boys name where I live)
I never said anything about Ashley, of course Ashley is unisex. The first Ashley I met was male. The only female Ashleys I’ve seen are fictional, but that counts.
I’ve seen Ashley’s be both more girl near me though
I was making a point but clearly it went flying over your head, I hope you at least waved at it as it passed by.
It’s not really a point if the name is commonly accepted as unisex.
yeah dude it is, you can change the name to any name you want and my point still stands, change it to Cassandra for all I care, it doesn’t invalidate my point… try again…
Name a relatively famous male and female with the name ‘Bow’ and I’ll believe you.
So far all I’ve found is forums saying “Bo or Beau but not Bow, you spell it Bow the boy will be totally harrassed”
It’s a Pokémon, for Arceus’ sake! Let alone, it’s a fictional character in a video game about raising imaginary monsters as companions. Everyone is allowed to name their Pokémon just about whatever they want as long as it’s not offensive. The fact still remains: Do not impose onto someone your own personal preference. An opinion, however, is just fine. After all, we’ve all got one.
all lovely names, don’t change just because someone thinks you should
Aparently I’m not allowed an opinion on what people call their pokemon, so please ignore all my naming suggestions.
You don’t seem to understand what changes an opinion into a projected personal preference. That’s called imposing.

My names for my team are
Popplio- Goofball cause he looks so goofy and I love it!
Gumshoos- Crunchy for his love of food!
Komala- Sleepy for his sleepy nature
Bounsweet- Sweetipie for her Sweetness and Cuteness
Minior- Astro for it’s astronomical likeness
Mimikyu- Mimi for her mimicking of Pikachu
Mimi is also Japanese for ‘ears’
That’s cool!
Anyone else notice the fossils in the ancient power animation? Any new ones?..
Btw I do hope we’ll have new fossils this gen.
I’m indifferent, I think the ones we’ve got are fine even if we don’t get any.
Especially the gen 6 fossils.
“Even Gyarados flee from Wishiwashi’s School Form!”
Even speedwagon’s afraid!
Looker, Zinnia, Blue, AZ, Cynthia and Lance will all appear in SuMo
Is it wrong that out of those the one I’m most interested in is Cynthia? (i.e. I don’t really care about any of the others, apart from Lance maybe)
Also, what is your basis for this?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d9qYUaWsX7U
The Snorlax part is just a joke btw
S.S. Anne apparently appears too. Wonder what that would mean? Kanto post-game?
Well, there’s someone from each region…so maybe we’ll take the SS Anne to each region!!!! Lol that’d never happen.
Have no problems with avoiding Unova, that region has left me scarred for life.
You no like?
No
Aw that’s probably my favorite region along with Sinnoh. It’s so lively
It’s clearly a fake, Yungoos’ evolution isn’t fat.
Seriously though it’s plausible.
But sounds slightly over the top.
It’s basically the 2nd Chinese leak with a few different things added.
Gumshoos is kinda stocky, its not skinny lol.
It’s not skinny, but it’s not fat.
Muchlax and Snorlax are fat, Gumshoos is just kinda average, maybe a tiny bit bulky..
Cynthia in this game would probably be there for the Alola forms and special evolutions.
I swear she’s the Charles Darwin of the Pokemon series here. Plus a bit of Chuck Norris, she is THAT GOOD!!!
I wouldn’t go that far.
Is this new raichu affected by ground moves? It doesn’t touch the floor at all. And the black ugly little thing has a really interesting and almost unfair ability; really like it.
Yes Alolan Raichu is still weak against Ground
That’s kind of a letdown, but i still like the typing anyway.
I don’t think team skull is the main antagonist. They are kind of a joke with all the power rangers moves.There’s probably something/someone else later in the game that’s gonna be the real threat.
You know what? Eff it…I’m done trying to scientifically explain the Alolan variants. They are what they are. Genes expressing and repressing. Maybe some weird crossbreed in event happened that resulted in a new functional protein to allow the type changes in raichu, exegutor (spelling), and marowak. Whatever lol. It’s almost as if the pokemon can be part human…nah haha
A (slightly) better look at two curious locations in Alola.
The Azoth Kingdom-ish city has a Pokémon Center, so its most likely story-related.
Nice eyes 😀
No. . . The team skull grunt is using a Zubat. I know it’s just one grunt, but it’s so repetitive when teams use it.
Meh Poison and Dark types kinda fit the evil team M.O. lol
Not really though, they aren’t inherently evil, so there is no real reason for the team to repetitively use them.
They aren’t, but the use of poison is evil and Dark types tend to have a malicious or cunning and selfish nature.
Poison kills people, how could that possibly not be evil?
Well I dunno, I think tools aren’t by default evil. Like say, guns.
I can’t think of a non-harmful use for a gun though, unless it only shoots tranquilisers.
There’s also a Golbat, Ariados, Haunter and Drowsee.
Pokemon PureDiamond and DazzlingPearl.
Coming late 2017 for the Nintendo NX
What is this true?
It’s just a guess. But it seems likely that that would be the case, with both being the NX is a duel console, and it has been 10 years since Gen 4
They said with the NX
within 6 months of its release which means and comes in February so next August we should expect something! Say Remakes for DP?!
for all we know, behind closed door, GF had been working on the remake for months, and is doing so right now. All they need to do to make it official is to reveal it.
It would make sense cause of how if Chinese leaks do come true Cynthia will appear and probably hint towards Sinnoh coming back yay Turtwigs are back!
I’ll say it again. Changing consoles mid-gen is not likely. They never did that even when they had the chance to do so with Black 2 and White 2. Why would they do it now?
if they release the remake of Diamond and Pearl on the 3ds, then that would be lazy, because you can play the DS game of Diamond, Pearl and Platinum on the 3DS. It’ll end up being like Twilight Princess again.
They have been unpredictable before so who knows and Gen.1 was split Red/Blue game boy Yellow Gameboy color
Also, need I remind that Pokemon Gold and Silver were of Game Boy, whilst Crystal is Game Boy Color
The ability schooling probably isn’t gonna be so cool in the anime. I think it will only kick in near the ocean, rivers and stuff like that. Very unlikely that a lot of pokemon will materialize out of nowhere inside buildings.
Actually if the fish crawled out of the sewer and combined on the streets, it would totally scare the socks off the kids… HEH HEH HEH HEH HEH.
Anime writers, DO EET!
lol. couldn’t agree more.
Didn’t we already have that with Venipede?
Ah! Yeah, I remember that, but I don’t recall those venipede combining into a giant bug… 😉
So this will be more of that but with a giant combined Pokemon later.
Lol. This is Pokemon. It’s ability will activate during battle. Once it hits a low amount of HP, it loses it. How would you use it in Wi-Fi Battles if it’s only activated in water? Hell, you use fish Pokemon in buildings. What’s your justification?
oh wow it looks like trainers will be using more then plain pokeballs now
http://pokemon-sunmoon-news.tumblr.com/image/148782503435
It’s more realistic that way 😀
That makes me think… I wonder if we can ball swap Pokemon in this gen?
I mean if we accidentally lost our special ball due to a mistake in breeding, like Ditto+Male… I would hope it can be fixed later…
I made a point of making sure I only caught pokemon in ORAS with pokeballs. Cannot begin to describe how tough the legendaries were to capture.
Totally worth it though.
I caught Grundon with the last Pokeball I had and I forgot to save before the battle so I couldn’t reset. I ended up leaving it with one HP by using Grass Knot (great move against Groudon) and I caught it before it could use rest again.
Neat.
I can’t remember the details of my captures. Other than I made a point of catching all the dogs in one day and catching the Musketeers on consecutive days.
Oh. I just caught it last week.
Well that explains things. I caught mine at least a year or two ago.
Yes! Green Minior Core! Marowak awesome fire spins just like Hawaiian dancers! Wishiwashi… Is the… Uh.. first Pokémon… I’ve seen them.. show…. Off… Fainting.. uh…
Morelull Glows! And Minior used a move that looks like it’s throwing a binch of fossilized shells!
Hmm fossilized shells… is that what Ancient Power looks like now?
Hmm…. That’s very possible. I looks like Ancient power just the rocks look different.
I thought the move was Ancient Power. It had the whole feel of the move.
Yeah. Come to think of it, it’s probably Ancient Power.
I’m in love with Team Skull. The absolutely look amazing. Just their movements and all make them see like a fun team. Their leader Guzma actually failed the Island Challange and continues to ruin various sites. Also, it’s neat seeing trainers us varying PokeBalls. Also, I’m just loving Alolan Raichu and Marowak! Also, what is this little bracelet thing on the Trainer’s bag. The male trainer also had one. It represents the colours of each main island. So, I heavily assume that the islands are Melemele, Akala, Ula Ula, and Poni. We were right all along! rf.
the trial captains have this pin or something too so maybe thats what you get as an alternative for badges. and finally, after 20 years, varying pokeballs for non playable characters!
It’s actually not what the Trial Captain pins/badges are. I went back and checked. It’s seems like a bracelet representing each island. Also, we are finally getting variety after all these years!
maybe you get when you clear each island maybe?
Just remembered that dude with the blue eyed surfer pikachu. He definitely should be in alola with the new raichu and have some relevance to the plot.
The Pikachu was called Puka and the episode was “The Pi-Kahuna”
wow. You googled, right? I wouldn’t remember the details to save my life.
Nope, I remembered because my memory was refreshed a few weeks ago.
People have been predicting a surfing Pikachu for a while.
Now I’m stuck between who should I put on the team: Alolan Raichu or Vikavolt? Vikavolt looks very cool, while Raichu rides a surfboard. I can’t decide, who do you think would be better?
Vikavolt: 2 weaknesses, 4 resistances, 1 immunity
Raichu: 4 weaknesses, 5 resistances
Vikavolt seems more viable unless you’re willing to run the speed boosting electric terrain every battle.
You still have to remember the type combos. Weakness don’t matter as long as you have ways to counter them. I’d say it’s too early to know. Yet, I’d go for Alolan Raichu purely on design.
Ok thanks!
In-game it isn’t going to matter much so use what you prefer.
But competitive, Alola Raichu is gonna be a beast in doubles or triples. I mean there’s already a decent doubles combo for it: a team up with Tapu Koko. Raichu does have Fake Out so it’s not like you will die if if they start with a Pokemon that has Earthquake.
True. I’m just going with statistics and only thinking of an ‘up to the champion’ run.
Statistically Vikavolt has better odds and Raichu’s ability takes a bit of time to start.
I dunno how other people do things, but for gym battles I don’t bother wasting time with stats and tricky moves, I just spam powerful moves until the other pokemon faint 😛 Works 9 times out of 10 (or should that be 7 times out of 8?)
Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, Sinnoh: Japan
Unova: North America (New York City)
Kalos: Europe (France)
Alola: Oceanic (Hawaii)
No British Isles based Region for me 🙁
Or of my dear Pennsylvania
it’s still part of the European continent so that still counts hahha
Erm… actually the British isles are a group of islands, they don’t count as part of the continent of Europe, they’re their own entity.
i see. i thought everything near Europe that’s not part of Africa, NA, and Asia is considered part of the European continent.
Well as of July 23rd, the the UK voted to leave the European Union however the United Kingdom is still a sovereign state in Europe
It’s June, and what we have as a prime minister is a remainer.
Ah yes, my bad, slip of the memory. I try to not think about it for my own reasons haha
These business people and rich bureaucrats want to stay part of a USE, when their trade and regulations are put heavily on all of us. Hating us when they only need us for their money bin. Why can’t they see that our country can do better than Europe by trading with the rest of the world.
Not going to say I disagree or agree, but if we start getting political things might get ugly.
There’s still a lot of hatred from both sides for each other 😛
(And yes I did vote, and did have an opinion, I just want to keep things civil)
true
It’s more a matter of geography than politics. We are an island, ergo we are not part of the european continent.
Thank you for remembering we’re still technically in the EU though, despite all the ministers shutting our PM out of proceedings.
Not quite.
A continent is literally a large land mass, and we are separate from the large land mess. This is what wikipedia classes as ‘continental europe’:
https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/1b/Mainland_Europe_%28orthographic_projection%29.svg/601px-Mainland_Europe_%28orthographic_projection%29.svg.png
As you can see, lots of smaller islands, despite being owned by EU sovreign states, don’t count as part of ‘continental europe’.
yep my bad. the Asian continent consists of of course mainland Asia and every other nearby countries like the Philippines (where i live lol), Japan, Indonesia, etc~ so i thought Britain was still part of the Eurpean continent hahaha
Asia’s probably an exception because it’s full of archipelagos (chains of islands). Plus the way they were discovered probably had an impact on how the maps were drawn.
In the early days of cartography, cartographers basically had free roam and actually named some places, and put in some fake places to prove a map was theirs (called paper towns).
Living in London all my life, it would actually be really cool to see a region based on the UK. I mean there are quite a few landmarks that are pretty cool (Stonehenge, Angel of the North, London Eye, Hadrians Wall etc).
It would be a nice combination of modernised cities with rural towns in between.
Even postgame to Northern Island and maybe the Battle Frontier on the Isle of Wight haha
I went to the Isle of Wight once, I think it would make a great Battle Frontier. There would be so many arguments about how it should be traversed though. And there would probably be temptation to represent the North-South divide or Scotland wanting independence, or all those other stereotypical crazy things.
As long as they depicted a version of Cornwall and Somerset though, I’d be happy.
Probably not going to happen, apparently people don’t like us much anymore, nor do they appreciate our history of dragons and fairies and selkies and kelpies and…
probably won’t base the final evo or name it after Robin Hood.
Most things we have in our history, you can find in the continent. In fact, over 50% of everything about us, such as language, architect, mythology, everything, is of Kalos origin (French) since William the Conquerer.
It’s no wonder why the Pokemon Ranger’s Professor is called Hastings.
It’s more complicated than that. We’ve got things running back to roman times and languages that existed before all the crazy invasions.
I think we’ve influenced other countries just as much as they’ve influenced us.
oh I like that region, that section of Europe happens to be my favorite area of the world, i’d love to visit someday!
We might not be classed as a part of Europe for all that much longer mind you.
England is a nice place to visit, but if you do, don’t just do London, it’s drastically different from the rest of the country. Try to visit at least one seaside location and one rural location if possible. I recommend Somerset if you like Cider and apples 😀
I want the next region Australia
yeah thats my first option too! if not, maybe brazil or mexico, or even china lol
I could live with that.
Poison type would get a massive boost XD
We would die before we take our first step outside… jk xD
I really do love this whole trainer inclusion in battles. I mean look at this badass villain just casually squatting next to his Pokemon while plotting to take over the Alola region
I guess this is the reason why Guzma can’t become a trial captain, because Tapu Koko with its fairy type resists bug so Guzma keeps failing his “auditions”…
But Ariados has plenty of Poison moves and actually resists Fairy.
Maybe he got the Ariados specifically to take out Tapu Koko?
Also am I the only one interested by the levels and the fact the ‘boss’ only has 2 pokemon?
That’s really unintimidating.
Also this means no Alolan Ariados :C
Well it might not be his final team etc. Or maybe its just the first time that the player faces him?
I prefer a boss who can act as a rival, make’s things more interesting
Ariados needs to evolve again
I now think I’m pretty confident in my possible team:
Popplio (into the mermaid of course) nickname: Poseidon
Cuttiefly , nickname: Buzzy
Mimikyu Nickname: Curtain
Comfey Nick: Poilel
Ninetales Nick: Jimmy
Meowth Nick: Prissy
(Lurantis and Oricorio might appear at some point too)
For Mimikyu, what about the name Curt/Kurt as a nickname rather than straight-up Curtain? It would sound less object-like.
And why Jimmy for a Ninetales? That’s an unexpected name for one. lol
because I like it lol, I chose curtain because it sounds object-like and I have a sick sense of humour, lol, as for jimmy, its because I saw a really majestic drawing somewhere of jimmy wheztel and I was like imma name my ninetails jimmy
Fair enough. You mention sick sense of humor and what’s now in my head is Curtains the Clown, which sounds like a crazy name for a psychopathic murder clown. I had to briefly Google that Jimmy dude. Guessing he’s a Youtuber.
he is a youtuber yes, lol at the clown part, i hate clowns but it works
I’ interested to see what other kinds of Pokemon will get Alolan forms. I typically use only new Pokemon when I start a fresh game, but these change the way I see old Pokemon lol
I did this as well with X/Y. I’m only going to be using Alola and Alolan Pokemon. That’s all during my first playthrough.
XY were actually the only time I’ve ever used an old Pokemon on my team, which was Blastoise. Well except for BW2, but that was different. lol Wither way It’s definitely giving me something to think about lol
Agreed, do you have a team yet?
Litten, Grubbin, and Nuikoguma are the only ones I know for sure that I’ll use. The other 3 are getting harder for me to choose lol I was thinking the sandcastle Pokemon too, but I’m not sure. i want to see the dolphin Pokemon that’s coming and maybe some more Alolan forms before I make a complete decision tho hahaha
Sounds good, my for sure team is litten, grubbin, pikipek, and rockruff….not sure on the other 2. Im waiting on water arcanine and a my 6th is usually a dragon but drampa is meh
I actually like some of the Alolan Pokemon however for me personally, gonna stick to new Pokemon. I wanna see more Dark and Ice type representation from the new region. Hope they don’t cop out with the 2 ice Alolan lines
Sadly they don’t for me. I will only be using Alola native Pokemon (A.K.A. no Mega-Evolution Pokemon unless we get Alola Pokemon with Mega-Evolution, no Alola variant, and no older Pokemon). I then restart or buy a new game and use past Pokemon during that playthrough, but my first playthroughs are strictly NEW Pokemon.
I hear ya. I think the only thing that’s making question using only new Pokemon is the fact that the Alolan forms are so close to being new Pokemon on their own. which makes them super fresh and appealing to me lol
“or buy a new game”
Wish I had that kind of money 😛
So do RBG to BW take place in the same universe and reality while XY to ORAS take place in the Mega Evolution universe? Or do the core games all take place in the same games and remakes take place… Ughhh Pokemon has officially become Zelda time wise! If Sun/Moon take place in the non-Mega universe, then that would explain the no Mega-evolution, but if you do go back to Kalos and the main conflict involves P. Zygarde and mega energy… Hopefully the leaks are right and Sun/Moon take place in the Mega universe.
I’ve talked about this before and Zinnia explains it well. Basically, the original timeline is the same with the Mega Universe. Just image all of the older games with Mega Evolution. I believe Sun/Moon will continue it do the discovery of the Fairy-Type, potential Key Stone slot, and it’s advanced technology.
Yeah the timeline is kind of a massive mess atm, I guess we can just assume all games before XY occur in the non-mega timeline, or maybe all games except RS/ORAS/XY occur in both timelines until remade… But then what about RGBY and FRLG ? Dammit I give up haha.
Honestly if SM occurs in the non-mega timeline that’s just gonna be shit, especially since Z-moves are a thing (and so are fairies as libra pointed out).
Does anyone else still think we’re getting Alolan Pokemon outside the Kanto Region? It’s beginning to worry me that GameFreak is taking priority with the Kanto Region again. We haven’t got one Pokemon outside of Generation One. Still, I have a bunch of Kanto Pokemon I want to see receive and Alolan Form, such as that Water-Type Arcanine. I was going for Dragonite for an Alolan Form, but we already saw a normal one in the trailers.
I think we’ll only get Gen I Alolan Pokemon for now. I mean there seems to be a big emphasis with Kanto and Alola
I think sadly we’re just gonna get gen I variants, which is a terrible way to do things but typical GF style :/ .
I thought it was obvious that Alolan versions of Pokémon were exclusive to Generation 1 Pokémon as a refresher towards the generation that started it all.
Ugh, I gotta do it, can’t resist…
“But we are already getting Alolan Pokemon outside the Kanto Region! We’re getting Alolan Formes in the Alola Region!”
…ok, that was bad.
I mean I hope so, but I can’t say I’d be too surprised or broken up about it. I guess it depends on the amount of new Alolan forms we end up getting. There’s only so many Pokemon the can glean from gen 1 before they run out.
No.
This is a straight up biased marketing ploy to get genwunners to buy the game like with Charizard and Mewtwo in X&Y.
There’s never any love for my other Regions.
We have ONE Unova mega… and its Audino…AUDINO… -_-
At least you can use Mega Audino in NU… T_T
They’re scared to temper with perfection. 😛
HEY don’t bash Mega Audino. It’s actually usable in the TCG
Oh absolutely, I just wish they would give some equal love to fans who really enjoy the other regions…but alas, we don’t matter as much…because munny
Yesssssss I’m sick of Gen one bias. If they do it again after Sun and Moon I’m done with the series
It’s not a marketing plan towards “genwunners.” First of all, wouldn’t genwunners hate these redesigns of their childhood Pokémon? Second of all, genwunners aren’t the only ones who grew up with the first generation of Pokémon. I think the opposite of a genwunner should be a PokéVeteran cause I’ve been on this Pokémon ride since it first began and have loved just about everything about the franchise since. I still can’t stand Pokémon GO, though.
Sadly, for a huge company such as GameFreak, every move and thing they do is marketing. Yes there may be fan-service here and there, but even those can still somehow be attributed with marketing. The business world is a sly fox all on its own.
This guy gets it.
Well, I agree that there is, of course, marketing. But, I don’t believe these Alolan versions or Mega Charizard and Mega Mewtwo are a ploy solely to attract genwunners. Stereotypicaly, genwunners don’t like much change. There are also others who love Pokémon as a whole and people who’s favorite Pokémon are from the first generation. I think Game Freak is just trying to appeal to everyone while keeping their franchise fresh. That’s what I get.
No, I agree. I believe these Alola variants are a marketing ploy to attract new players who recently got into Pokemon through other means (Pokemon Go for example) and a staple for any fan is to know the first 151 Pokemon. Thus, by giving these already well known Pokemon, there’s not only hype for veteran fans, but also for newer fans. It’s also a great strategic move because news outlets and media is much more inclined to report about already known property being toyed with and thus creates more conversations. Additioally, giving these Pokemon competitive viability will create much hype for competitive players along with the new Pokemon. Last but not least, it’s just a really good choice because of several factors that I don’t think I have to get into.
I get you. But, I’m not so sure that the ones who have recently jumped onto the bandwagon through Pokémon GO are gonna go out and buy Pokémon Sun or Moon along with a 3DS. Not from what I’ve seen, at least. I feel like everyone knows about the franchise, especially the first 151, but they’re only playing the app cause everyone else is doing it and it’s free. I have doubts that this refresher to the series will pull in older fish. But, either way, the more the merrier, and as long as the ones who truly love Pokémon play and get together, that’s all that matters.
I concur. But you have to admit, those 100%+ jumps in sales for recent Pokemon titles after Pokemon Go are promising! 😀
I agree with you 100% Im a PokeVeteran as well, Ive been playing since red lol and i love every generation but ill never play GO
I never owned the first generation of games, but played through them completely. Now that I think about it, I’m not sure if I borrowed from a friend or if I really did own them. I remember playing Red and Yellow versions. That was around 4th or 5th grade. I think. After, I definitely owned Crystal, chose a female as it was the first time we could. I’ve either owned or played each generation. I didn’t own X or Y, but my ex (who’s like a best friend now) owned X and I played it a lot when he came over. I plan on owning Moon for damn sure!
Interesting, I dont think i owned my Red version but idk where i got it from either lol. I owned gold with the pikachu special edition gameboy color, some boy gave me my sapphire i swear i didnt bully him for it. I ended up losing it and got emerald some how. cousin gave me fire red but Ummm after that i bought all the other games usually only one of each initial release but id get the third installment Ex: platinum. Idk tho im thinking about getting both sun and moon but cant decide
I totally agree with you. 😀
I’m a PokeVeteran as well. I’ve been playing it, and collecting the cards and such since the beginning. I believe I was 10 or 11 when it first came out here in Canada, and now I’m 29 and still going strong as a “Poketard” LOL And I am totally LOVING all this new stuff that they are revealing for the new games. 😀 (Still a little disappointed about the no gym thing, but I’m willing to give this island challenge thing a good try. :D)
Cheers! I’m 27 and still loving Pokémon.
And if anyone expects me to grow up, I’ll say… “sure, ok.”

I need my Mega Excadrill
im thinking megas for Zebstrika, Excadrill, Cofagrigus & Beheeyem if ever~
No Galvantula? :C
oh yeah thats cool too :))
In all fairness, Mewtwo is pretty epic. Charizard and the starters I can live without, but Mewtwo making a comeback was probably the best gen1 related thing to happen.
I feel like people are forgetting this IS the anniversary game of pokemon. Of course gen 1 gets some focus here.
It’s not only the anniversary of Pokemon, but also the celebration of 20 years of Pokemon. If they wanted to focus primarily on Gen one then they would have released figures and plushes monthly of Mythical Pokemon from most regions. They need to expand in the actual games.
Shouldn’t be this much though. It’s a celebration of 20 years of pokemon, not a celebration of just the year that started it all.
Who cares? I certainly don’t. I’m just happy that were getting something NEW and EXCITING!! I’m just grateful that were getting ANYTHING AT ALL! I could care less if they seem to be giving the first gen lots of love, because honestly its been forgotten about for a long time, and there are a lot of new players out there that have NO CLUE about the original generation. I mean come on, I saw a post not that long ago, with some stupid “newby” complaining about Charmander, Bulbasaur, and Squirtle, being horrible designs for NEW Pokemon, and that the original Pokemon were better. I was like WHAT?!?! OMG Those ARE the original you fool. LOL So I am very VERY glad for these “Alolan forms” and I don’t care if they are from gen one or gen two, or even gen six. As long as we get something, that I can be excited about. 😀
So all the key words, phrases, Pokemon (I might miss some) that have some sort of connection to Pokemon Sun/Moon:
– Flowers (the only “flowers” we have are Plumeria and Lillie)
– Alchemy (maybe the main influence for the Pokemon designs, but not the story)
– Project AZOTH
– Ancients (the people who lived in Alola before the current age)
– Infinity Energy (life force of Pokemon)
– Mega Energy (the energy released by Mega-Pokemon during evolution)
– It all comes together (the phrase that has everyone talking and guessing)
– Z-Moves (just what are they?)
– Zygarde and its forms
– AZ Floette (is this thing still relevant?)
Guzma is named after a Guzmania flower, and Hau is also named after a Hawaiian flower
Thanks for the info! I guess by flowers they meant characters! 😛 We’ve cracked the code! xD
What does this mean?
Means we’re in for a REAL treat! By the way, have you watched Alan VS Ash Part 1?! The hype is real! The battles are so good! Especially Talonflame’s (Not sure if you’ve watched so I’ll just leave it at that!).
Aside from the Gen 1 bias and the Corocoro exclusive leaks I’m liking this trailer. And Guzmo is honestly kinda hot. Not like OH DADDY but in a like, bad boy kinda way I guess?
They always want a bad boy
To do, yes, but I’d rather have someone with a job and/or degree that actually cares about his place in society. And can cook.
Hmmmmm yeah, the bad boys can be bums sometimes
You sound experienced ?
I’ll have you know I’m the most responsible of my siblings
Only because those turds barely stray far from their computers
True! And preferably with a good personality and is not quiet, awkward, or just a plain canvas with no colors. How I regret some of my life decisions…
Saaame
y’all can keep your bad boys
Guzma… hot? And her I thought I had weird tastes. ;P
?
Guys!!!! I’ve notice that for the alola forms. Each one appears either on the sun or moon background so those will be version exclusives for sure. I just notice that!!
I dunno about you guys, I’m really loving Team Skull’s themes <3 It just fits their personality so far
And I amlate to the party, so excuse me if you guys already know this, but it's definitely the encounter theme in the English trailer and the battle theme in the Japanese one. And I actually like the encounter theme slightly more for some reason xD
I like both themes soooooo
Don’t get me wrong, I love both too, I just like the encounter theme slightly more :3
I agree sooooooo
Pyukumuku hate to have their spikes and mouths touched, and if you step
on one, it will hurl out its fist-like inner organs to strike at you.

I was about to eat… now I think I’ll pass. *_*
I’ll eat it for you
oh sorry
This is more disgusting everytime I watch it.
Sad thing is I’ve already seen that gif before 😀
Still not as creepy as the removal of a bot fly or ‘trypophobia’ images.
Trypophobia got me trippin’! Those damn pictures give me nightmares for days!
Ew, I looked it up! It was such a mistake. Dx
Remember me when you have nightmares tonight 😀
I shouldn’t look that up should I….
Not if you value your sanity.
I’m not very sane already, so I’d like to keep the little sanity I have.
Thanks for making me curious…. Now I can’t unsee it…. or stop throwing up….. XD
There’s a whole reddit dedicated to that sort of gross unseeable stuff.
Honestly, this doesn’t bother me too much… Probably because I’ve witnessed it….
SUCH A CHUNCHY THEME
https://youtu.be/IGRt1RjUTss
Ew this is disgusting. I hate this theme so much. >.<
:C
It’s cause it’s hip hop isn’t it?
I don’t think there should be word like sounds in Pokemon music. I didn’t like it in Gen 5 and I don’t like it here.
I mean, I don’t care for rap/hip hop, but I can’t deny that it really fits with Team Skull’s personality, and its actually pretty nice 🙂
Just no words please. xP
I never much cared if words were in it, so long as it fit. All the tracks with words make sense with the feel of the place/event.
Roxie was in a band, so it made sense that they would have words/lyrics to their songs, it would be weird if they didn’t
Elesa’s gym was a runway, so it made sense to have the pump up music and female vocals
and this theme just screams Skull to me.
I just don’t want the words thing to be abused and unnecessary, but I understand it’s all in personal taste :3
They’re already there, scratched into the background.
It’ll be all the more reason to enjoy pounding the crap out of them.
Being an evil team that causes trouble for everyone is one thing, but listening to such awful ‘music’ is unforgiveable 😛
Seems fine to me. Its better than a lot of the other evil team themes from past generations. 😀
That moment you finally beat Team Skull and you think you’ve saved Alola, but the true team comes out from the shadows.
This is exactly the same theory I have been spouting all day 😀
Its official name is now operation “Bait And Switch”
Not to spoil anything… but Part 1 of Alan VS Ash at the league was… *refresh for gif*
So is the move that Morelull uses supposed to be Sleep Powder?
Probably Spore.
But didn’t it put Mudbray to sleep?
Well Spore is the only sleep-inducing move with 100% accuracy and Mudbray doesn’t have any abilities that negate Spore and isn’t a Grass-type so…
I do love the new attack animations. Especially the ancient power with the fossils. ?
Me too! I always look forward to the attack animations because they’ve only gotten better and better as time goes on!
That was surprising, and amazing! Now, I want to know what move Marowak used….
It used Will-o-Wisp.
I completely feel you here! I love the attack animations in this Sun and Moon! They’re so crisp and some of them quite epic! Like they completely reworked all the animations! I can’t wait to see legendary pokemons signature moves with new animations!
Disappointed by no Alolan Cubone, like many others I think GF are being too loose on biological logic with these forms (yes I know, typical game freak, they do what the want, but honestly it’s nicer when it makes sense). What’s especially grating is the poor justification behind the ghost typing, which could have been done so much better than that social attunement sixth sense bullshit, especially taking into account a certain gen I cubone’s backstory, and the confusion over wether that applies to all cubones… Would it have been that difficult to include shamanism or marowak graveyards in the description?
I mean they could at least have put something along the lines of “Alolan Marowak only gain advantage over their predators upon evolution, and as such must actively protect their vulnerable cubone offspring “, to justify this.
And Alolan Raichu’s description is just taking the piss. It’s not even funny, it’s just bad.
And these forms started out so well too… I hope GF step it up with the biology here, the idea of regional variants is great but they’re applying it like a poorly conceived fan concept.
Eh, at least design wise they’re not bad.
Alolan Cubone might be still possible. Maybe it wasn’t soon because they didn’t want reveal it too early?
The Japanese trailer strongly suggests there’s no Alolan Cubone, but sure, it’s not 100% deconfirmation. Very unlikely though :/
Huh??? How long was I out of the game? This is epic!!!!!!
You shoulda been here yesterday
Well my counter part was here but I have been a little distant for a bit
Who’s that?
The Last Kurusu he is my counterpart the Better half
Oh ok.
Yeah this account is less used only cause my Ipod is used for last Kurusu and my computer is well me!
Well you do live under rocks and underground… Sorry, I had to.
I know living in the Ground doesn”t get WIFI but I am E-mailing my Alolan Cousins I haven”t seen them since the Family reunion in Sinnoh years ago!
Nice chatting with you guys/gals! See ya soon! 😀
Bye 🙂
Bye Bye!!!
Something I’ve noticed is that in all the trailers, they’ve never finished an evolution segment. This may just be because it’s too long, but they always cut out into a battle instead of finishing the evolution.
Either like you said it’s too long or we’re getting Alolan forms of prevos and they don’t want to reveal them.
They shoulda shown it in the ‘Watch Grubbin Evolve’ thing.
Adding the fact that they probably don’t want to reveal the full sequence, for whatever reason…..
so wishiwashi technically evolves without evolving? ok work
Yeah. It should be after a certain HP
I think at around level 40 it activates yet if I saw right if it drops below 50% health or something it goes back solo!
in the japanese video wishiwashi was level 27
Oh i thought I saw one level 50 as well but i might have been wrong!
In the English one it was 50
I thought I saw a lv.50!
In the Japanese trailer, there was a level 27 Wishiwashi whose ability activated
They probably wanted a strength in numbers pokemon but to keep it from being too strong they made its evolution a former change.
Actually I think what it is, is that once it reaches a certain level, it is now strong enough to call upon a large group and be able to sustain the form.
Kind of like how the older you get the easier it is to accomplish certain things. Like holding your breath longer and such. 😀
I thought it could be cool if Wishiwashi evolves into a beast that resembles it’s school form, and the way that Wishiwashi survive is by imitating it’s evolution. I could imagine Beldum Metang, Klink Magnemite doing the same thing.
SuMo (wild?) battle theme is sooooooooooooooooo amazing
Your YouTube video is blocked from pokemon copyright 🙁
What video?
Probably Pj’s video. I think it was about the leaks but I couldn’t watch being I was out of streaming minutes last night.
Ohh! Ok
also pyukumuku is literally the perfect death fodder
Ok. So Innards Out is like Aftermath?
Yes but deals damage based on whats left.
Ok. That’s pretty cool
So its like Endeavor-Aftermath blend
More like Final Gambit than endeavor
Can’t wait to abuse it in a Nuzlocke.
this pokemon is going to be a Nuzlocke nightmare
Oh yeah, it’ll work both ways. I want to put it out on a kahuna’s best Pokemon or something.
But the question is, does it base it on a percentage of HP or is it how many Hit Points it has left
And what about 1HKOs like a Nasty Plot Mismagius Thunderbolt would it just instantly KO or just do based on individual health
I think it works like this: Pyukumuku dies with 53 HP left, Innards Out deals 53 damage. Probably total HP based, not percentage.
I like how Pyukumuku’s cry sounds like it’s name. xD
Don’t all Pokemon? ..?
Oh wait. :p
Jynx be like…
pyukumuku is Rabite from Legend of mana.
Who else thinks Guzma needs a goatee
Maybe a soul patch
Yes! He needs SOME kind of facial hair, for sure.
He doesn’t look “boss of an evil gang” enough.
So I just had a scary thought
What if this alleged Rugby Gorilla isn’t a Ground/Fighting type but screws me and is a Rock/Fighting type
Fairy/Fairy Type.
Burn in hell
O_0
Fairy/Fighting/Ground
ALLL THE TYPPESS!
I do want Fighting/Fairy tbh. Not sure about design tho
Mohammed Ali with pixie wings and a pink afro.
My Security Toy Fakemon
Mashmellow
Fairy/Fighting
Fluffy
It’s a gigantic overstuffed pink bear rabbit with bits of fluff sticking out here and there, stitched mouth, a big X for an eye, and long thick sock like tube arms
It is extremely protective of its young and trainer it will defend them with its very life
Though extremely gentle they have enough strength to snap trees with their massive arms
That’d be lame.
And typical
They dangle something that is perfect for me just to take it back and alter it
More leaks, refresh.
Did you ever hear my Alolan Vileplume idea?
Grass/Flying
It’s petals grew larger and lighter due to the tropical climate, they’re so big sometimes large gusts of wind whisk them into the sky and by adjusting the angle of their petals they can glide long distances
They spent so much time in the air they now can’t live without it, now they developed a way to launch themselves into the air by contracting their petals
They are Skiploom
I know but still it’s better then just a atypical supersized Vileplume or Grass/Fairy combo
Vileplume is thrash.
Isn’t this normal… Oh I see what you did here
I didnt make this, I found it on Reddit.
Someone else made that same joke earlier
Didn’t see it
It’s either on one of the other articles from yesterday or its so far buried that we’ll never be able to revive it.
Hahah epic. I hope we get some bellossom love
That Pokemon is Bellossom, and is already appearing in Pokemon Sun and Moon.
That’s the joke
Ancient Power’s animation tho. CATCH THESE FOSSILS lmao
Glaceon!
Hey! You’re back! Great to see you caught up with the Sun and Moon hype too haha
I bought the game as soon as it was available for purchase ? always hyped for these games :3
Haven’t seen you around since the mid-early stages of ORAS announcements? Always happy to see familiar faces back on PJ ?
I actually stopped by yesterday, and before that about a month ago. More people came back yesterday too!
That’s really cool! Hopefully you guys check in once in a while after the hype is over too!
I like how the power is finally ancient; instead of just rocks.
Still though, just flinging fossils instead of rocks at people aparently classifies it as ‘anicent’ 😛
Does that mean I can throw ice creams at people and call it an ice attack? 😀
So once wishiwashi is able to summon a school, does it automatically change form once the battle starts?
Seems like it based on the trailer yeah
Good, I like it more now 🙂
So why not just give it an evolution?
Maybe it has slaking level stats and they’re balancing it
Could be.
Stats wise possibly as Ultron said, and also they wanted to implement the concept that way? A permanent school evolution would’ve worked I guess, so maybe not. I guess the arbitrary design decision also worked balance-wise so they went with that.
ok but where is my sandcastle pokemon?
CoroCoro exclusive. Wait a month.
A MONTH?

Only about half a month 😉
I was considering saying that but was too lazy to type it.
What’s with people getting all these reaction gifs of people I’ve never seen or heard of before?…

*opens mouth*
*organs fly out and form an offensive hand signal*
I’m literally waiting for Serebii to say “New Sun and Moon info coming in 2 weeks”
Give it three to four days and we’ll get “new info September 1st”.
It was retconned for being awful
http://i2.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/facebook/000/428/075/30a.jpeg
It’s fun
Omg.. I actually remember that episode. It’s was so weird.
Its amazing
Earthen is silent about it, therefore it’s bad.
What I just haven’t seen it in action, I don’t go ape shit over every ground type (Nincada, Wormadam, Whiscash, Stunfisk too but it’s a boss)
But believe me if it can morph it’s body to battle I’d be all over it
You don’t seem too hyped over the design though. But yeah, if it was like sandman and can morph, my opinion will change. Till then, I think it’s probably the worst design this gen.
Corocoro exclusive
I dunno, have you tried the beach?
I’m surprised that no one is talking about Alolan Gyarados, it probably lost its flying type, can’t wait to hear details
Alolan Gyarados. Loses flying type and becomes ground type because it thrives on the many water type fish pokemon in Alola so it became too fat to fly
I bet it gains fighting type with expandable legs that can kick opponents.
I highly doubt that there will be an Alola form for Gyarados, because it got a mega form. That would be too much. 🙁
Too late on that one. 😛
Someone should have pulled out the slowbro for this one.
Fake or not! You do realise that the leak of Rowlet’s evolution in the manga is it’s ‘Mid’ evolution? As in in between Rowlet and Robinroot?
Check the other article. Fake.
how is it fake? I know it is, but why is it?
The person who made it admitted it.
naughty naughty
It was never intended to trick people, people just took his art and tricked people with that.
Naughty

Anyone else just being blown away by the Kalos league ? It’s so good. ASH vs Alain pt1 was epic.
Pikachu is just an absolute beast. Love him !
I agree, they wanted to show Greninja isn’t his one and only as it would seem lately
Yeah. I’m delighted ash finally has a fully evolved water starter but I was starting to think that ash was really over using it. Pikachu will always be my no1 tho. That being said I LOVE ash greninja too haha.
I remember being amazed by Pikachu in the Lucario movie as a child. A few years later, I saw Pikachu get bodied by a Snivy. Now I have trust issues.
???
That episode really disappointed me. In fact BW arc could have been great but they butchered it.
I was glad to see that end. But XY and now XYZ have more than made up for it 🙂
I think Pikachu was weakened by a legendary Pokemon in that episode to be fair though
Yeah zekrom but he had iron tail and quick attack. Either way it was an awful episode.
I just rewatched it. .. Pikachu was sweating.. and even it’s quick attack was slow and Ash noticed. It was all around weakened. It’s health may have been low due to it. This is what they were going for.. they just didn’t exaggerate it enough to show fans. They just think Pikachu sucked.
That’s true, been hearing lots of good things about the XYZ anime. I should really pick up from where I left off haha
BW series was just utter disappointment. Fires of a Red Hot Reunion was the only good episode.
I know, that always bothered me. Never battles before, but can beat Pikachu? BW anime sucked.
Yeah it’s nice to see Ash act like the skilled trainer he should be and not like a dumb beginner, and to see pikachu act like it’s level 100 and not level 15.
You know what… It may actually be because he’s such a high level now that he was able to take out so many powerful Pokemon. Alan doesn’t train his other pokemon as much as Charizard, and that’s a fact!
I was absolutely blown away. I love pikachu and every time it battles I get excited cuz Ash-Greninja is getting to the point where I just want it to win and that’s all..
Pikachu bossing two pseudo-legendaries like its nothing, lmao I’ve no words.
Indeed. Only in the anime such a thing could happen. Kinda borders the ridiculous had Pikachu not been with Ash since the beginning.
I wish I could battle him myself
But because of plot convenience that pesky Ash-Greninja would easily do away with my Rhyperior or Mega Garchomp
But the rest would crumble fairly easily
Excadrill beats Pikachu hands down
Hippowdon tanks Talonflame
Seismitoad’s sluggish meatheadedness absorbs blows from Goodra or Hawlucha
And Nidoking’s Speed and Mamoswine’s bulk beats Noivern
Ash-Greninja Protean Mold Breaker Pixilate Fire Shuriken/Destructo Disc would wipe out your whole team!
No shit, but everything else is fair game
I loved the Talonflame vs. Unfezant part. I wish it would’ve been longer. It was very dynamic and I really-really like that. Sky Attack looks excellent with this golden aura. Btw, what was that with Hawlucha? Could someone explain it to me? Tried looking at abilities and moves but couldn’t find anything.
Thu. . . These animations are so fast and fluid now.. sometimes I can hardly tell what’s going on :/
After looking through the footage for the third time. I just saw that a TM was behind the Team Skull Grunt. It’s even gleaming in the background. Also, the encounter theme and battle theme for Team Skull is outstanding. I can’t wait for the recreations of it!
-7.8/10 too much disgusting vocals
What? Who doesn’t love the theme. I’m getting kinda tired of super serious evil teams. We needed a break. These guys have a bunch of personality and heart. Their theme sounds outstanding. The Japanese Trailer has the Battle Theme for the grunts and the English Trailer had the Encounter Theme. Do you not like vocals in video game music?
*slowly raises hand*
I’m all for fun, but not if it means giving the villains a rap theme.
Vocals aren’t very ‘pokemon’ though.
Part of the charm of pokemon is that everyone can appreciate the instrumental music because culture is irrelivant when the music has no words.
I dunno, I think it fits them, I dunno what else they could have done to give off the Team Skull vibe.
And I think people can appreciate music with or without vocals.
But I do think that vocals should only be used if it fits with the person, place or thing.
It made sense all the times vocals were added to the tracks.
I’m just not liking it, which is a genuine first for team themes. I’ve had ‘meh’ but not ‘dislike’.
That’s not even rap. Splatoon did something very similar in terms of music. It’s more of just mixing various sounds. It fits the grunts and that’s all that matter tbh.
It’s erring on the side of rap.
It just sounds a bit forced.
It’s hip hop inspired. A lot of people tend to dislike hip hop inspired music. I pay it no mind. These themes are incredible!
No, the only time I thought it was fine was in Xenoblade Chronicles X. It’s not about how serious the team is to me, it’s just that the music doesn’t appeal.
It’s cool. Not all music appeals to everyone. I personally like. I love the feel to the theme. GameFreak music has had vocals before. It’s nothing new to me.
Didn’t like it then, don’t like it now. 😛 To each their own, I guess.
Also, unpopular opinion here, I don’t like vocals in any music, be it in a video game or not.
*sigh* I’ll edit it.
This is like a flash back to BW2. Colress’ theme is still a favorite of mine today. Vocals really add something to music.
They really bring out your inner thug
I should be a member
Lol you would probably get kicked out for fighting with the other members and start your own team.
ghetsis theme still gives me the chills when i hear the vocals at the beginning
It has that Team Rocket mixed with Team Flare kinda vibe. It’s a really well done theme!
Glitch works her magic!
I think it’s a nugget.
They said that PokeBalls will glitter so players could find them easier due to the change of perspective and sizes. Gold PokeBalls contain TMs, so I assume it’s one as well.
Eh, plausible.
Still think they should plant a few golden nuggets just to get trainers’ hopes up >:D
Guys, do you share my theory that Kukui might be a former Skull member?
I don’t think so. I think Kukui might have beaten Guzma during the Island Trials or they had some history doing something. I don’t think Kukui was a part of them. Yet, anything is a possibility!
what theory
can u explain
The Pokemon website says that Guzma ”has a bone to pick” with Kukui
I have a bone to pick with Kukui too. ? who wouldn’t?
Rather have a bone to pick with Wulfric. But I guess Kukui is kind of cute
If Wulfric wasn’t like, ancient, I could see it but
Chuck? Seismic Toss the sh!t out of him
I can see it with Chuck. Just wish he had a full beard instead of that weird moustache thing
I just think both failed at being captains, but went different paths. Kukui moved on and became a Professor, while Guzma wanted revenge and made Team Skull.
They’re foils, really.
Kukui probably failed his trials but turned down the offer to join Skull. Which, if Kukui challenged me I would let him win, if he battled me… At night… One on one… Abs.
If you find any Kukui on Guzma thing, please share.
Kkkkk gurl
I absolutely share this sentiment ‘w’
I confirmed that when I translated parts of the Japanese trailer hours ago.
Mind reposting it here? I thought I read all the comments, but I must have missed one of the things I was looking for 😛
I didn’t finish it all, and some of it might actually be quite off because my hiragana is rusty (haven’t actually attempted to translate something this major in a few years) but:
Plumeri:
“atashi wa purumeri” – I am Plumeri
“sukarudan wo tabanete iru” – Team Skull are in control
“iunareba anegotte tokoro” – So to speak they call me “ane” (elder sister)?
“anta mo shitte no toori” – in the same way that you know? (you as well know in the same way?)
“(re/wa)nchyuu baka bakkari de nee” – … stupid only with “nee” (sister)?
“sateto atai no deban dane” – now then, (it’s) my turn dane
Guzma:
“butsu koreshitemo butsu koreshitemo “-*mutter* even if destroyed *mumble* even if destroyed (probably him raving about not passing the captain trials)
“te wo yurumenakute kirarereru” –
“buzumatokiga kokoni iruza” –
“shikimegu nankashite”
“nanni narunda yo?” – What (something) yo?
“kukui san yo” – Mr Kukui yo (roughly)
“anta to are wa ontagai” – You and me are (didn’t finish)
“kyaputain wa narenakatta mo no doushi”
“hakai toiu kotobaga”
“hito no katachi wo shiteirunoga”
“kono ore saki guzuma dazae” – … I (informal) … Guzma dazae (informal ‘cool’ sentance thingy)
ane is elder sister 🙂 but she says atai in hiragana, not atashi though.
Yeah, I got that in the later ones (“sateto atai no deban dane”). I was just trying to rush it all down tbh and atai wasn’t something I’d encountered before, I read ‘ata… wa’ and my brain filled the blank as ‘shi’ since that’s what I’ve heard more of 😛
I had to break up all the ‘wa’ and ‘no’ and ‘to’ as well, it really wasn’t as easy as I’d hoped DX
Feel free to make more corrections though. For my first pass I couldn’t identify ‘ri’ correctly because I only knew about one of the two forms it can take.
Totally understandable 🙂 Although, why did she say atai instead? It means price or value. Is she trying to say ‘I am the valued Plumeri’?
And with the help of a somewaht reliable translator and my knowledge, I got at least some idea what the other lines mean
After he does the mumbling, he mentions alot about being broken and fractured (either himself or something else)
and the other lines are covered in the English trailer, so I really didn’t bother trying to translate them.
No, atai is an informal form of atashi:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_pronouns
Ctrl+F+ ‘atai’
ok awesome, glad to have that cleared up 🙂 I wasn’t sure myself as I haven’t gotten too far yet in my studies
I had to look it up myself. Like I say, my brain filled it in as ‘atashi’ so it’s obvious how it came to be used in slang.
Yeah, and it makes sense she used it, as it’s mostly used by females.
In my class, we’ve only really learned watashi and boku, but I’ve learned atashi through listening to Japanese songs :3
I’ve only ever had a few weeks of proper teaching from a bilingual teaching aide. Everything else I know is from a book and subs of One Piece and Fairy Tail n_n’
I just happen to know a lot of good sites to look up words 😛
Oh and I did the grunts lines.
The first part is just them being pumped up with words like ‘Alright, let’s do this!’
With the fence scene, the grunt says something along the lines of them ‘plucking the yellow sea?’ and them doing something useful.
When it’s two male grunts, they say ‘To us, Pokemon trail captains are bad (or something negative)’
And witht he longer words I got that one nailed down
‘With our oily (oiler in katakana) Pokemon, we’ll attack together! Because Guzuma will give us a 200% raise if we do!’
Well, oil theme confirmed at least 😀
That wouldn’t have been clear in the English trailer.
I don’t think there was any shared scenes for the grunts, only for Plumeria and Guzma, but I’d have to check again xD
Welp, feast your eyes, between us, me and Percy have got ‘the gist’ of pretty much all the Skull related stuff.
Really? Cause I sort of translated the lines and I didn’t really get that.Then again, I’m a beginner in Japanese myself.
I didn’t finish translating it perfectly but it’s quite clear:
“kukui san yo” – Mr Kukui yo (roughly)
“anta to are wa ontagai” – You and me are
“kyaputain wa narenakatta mo no doushi” – Captain …. blah blah blah (lost the will to live at that point because only two people were interested in my translation of Plumeri’s lines)
Yeah, but those lines are just similar to the ones we saw in the English trailer. It doesn’t really say he joined Team Skull.
And what were Plumeri’s lines? There were certain parts I definitely got, but some I was confused on. Like she says ‘atai’ which means price or value followed by her name.
And I know s(u)karu is skull, but s(u)ka? I think they are just saying part of their name, but I’m not sure myself.
team skull logo is the type of logo thats make you feel like “why didnt i think of it before”. Probably one of the best logos design i have ever seen. is crafty, clever yet simple and memorable
Right?? I’m currently loving everything about them!
<- I almost did
Okay I may be the only one here who feels this way but I absolutely freaking LOVE the team skull music! Both their encounter music and their battle music. And I love the clear hip hop influences! The music in Sun and Moon has been fantastic overall tbh!
Bruh. Your not alone. Everyone is absolutely loving their theme. It reminds me of Splatoon a bunch. It’s stupid lit! @ithsme:disqus will like it sooner or later.
Definitely not alone 🙂 It’s just brimming with personality and it fits with the team.
Your definitely not the only one. If anything I’m the only one who doesn’t. Everyone I’ve seen likes it.
I don’t hate it but I don’t like it either.
I have a friend who feels the same, but that might be because we’re just both predisposed to disliking any form of ‘chav’ culture.
So it seems the Skull Grunts favorite Poison and Dark types
I really hope Guzma has Salandit’s final evo
You just wanna kill it with Earthquake
I want to do that to all Pokemon that cross me
*arms self with birds* OnO’
Can we just admire this? They’re taunting us with dance!
Oh, it’s dancing…
I thought he was having a fit or something.
Team Skull is so cheeky. I love it. The tidbit about all grunts have to have matching outfit and they have to buy these by themselves (not distributed) show that they are not really a organization, just some wannabe people come together to create some mess or live like they want. Also Guzma seems very lovable. As mentioned before, I also think he will not be evil, he will just be rampageous or butthurt. I hope when the real danger comes in he will be by our side, just thinking about it makes me drool.
Alola Snorlax leaked, refresh if needed.
OH MAN! I remember Rocket Power! :DDDD
Speaking of that, what if Alolan Snorlax was much thinner and stronger because of its new diet on the islands?

You’re Welcome 😉
Cheaper than a slowpoke tail!
That’s true
What if Guzma tried cheating during his trials because he knew he wasn’t good enough. Then Kukui intervened and caught them in the act.
I could see him going crazy when finds out the player defeated the trials and received a Z-Ring. I just want to see him go nuts!
He just couldn’t spot the difference in Kiawe’s trial. It takes some real skill.
Good guy Kukui strikes again.
Also I hope that means the trials have real difficulty, if not then it makes zero sense.
Autocorrect. XD
Not really. Guzma could just suck at battling. I mean you HAVE to beat him.
Hey would you guys be able to help me with some things? Had to buy a new ds and game so i lost all my past competitive pokemon. I really just need a ditto safari
a perfect IV ditto would be hacked, and I don’t think there are many people here that are about that life
Oh i must’ve not relized its been a while well a ditto safari will do then!
who has a bone to pick with plumeria. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Hala for me
her makeup artist
Eh, not me.
Not me. One, she’s female, two, she looks like Cynthia from Rugrats
The only bone I’d have to pick with her is if she was in the way of Kukui’s abs ‘3’
Eh, I prefer Mallow.
Me and Mallow can be Lurantis buddies 😀
Oh dear god there’s rule 34 of Mallow.
On the one hand abort, on the other hand I’m intrigued…
Oh, and then I found the scary fetishy stuff *aborts*
omg her neck is so tiny
I need a gal with a bit of a plushy neck
Read this if you had plans on going to the World Championships. http://www.pokemon.com/us/pokemon-news/entry-restrictions-at-the-2016-world-championships/
That’s garbage!
I mean.. I wasn’t planning on going, but geez
If it’s anything like local tournaments, kids and their parents and grandparents and friends come to watch them compete. It’s very distracting and unnecessary.
Maybe next year. I want to go for TCG. My Flareon will make it someday. 🙁
I like how the grunts have pink and blue hair, its an unnatural colour so you won’t question them all being the same, its just like “to be a grunt you have to dye your hair”
Just like Diamond and Pearl’s colors ?
Glad I’m not the only one who thought this.
do you mean their hair represents the version colours? or that the grunts from diamond and pearl had odd coloured hair for this reason?
It’s a possible hint for the remake for NX
that seems like reaching to me, but ok
http://www.gamezone.com/news/this-nintendo-patent-could-hint-at-how-nx-controller-works-3442425
why did you link me to the controller? what does that have to do with what we are talking about?
just showing of how the NX is more than just a home console. It is also a handheld
…. yes… ok I know that, I have been following it a lot…. I think you misunderstood my first comment, I think that while we may get a D/P remake, regardless of what system is on, I don’t think the grunts hair colour in this game is in any way related to the remakes, its reaching…
well it has been 10 years since DPP, like it had been RSE when XY came out.
Im not saying we are not getting a remake, do you understand what I’m saying at all?
I’m saying that their hair colour means nothing
maybe not from how the character will play out. But as a subtle clue that’s not meant to be noticed.
Version colors!
Wait Belmad also thinks Guzma is attractive? I thought I was the only one
OMG, Yes! I nearly fainted when I read he wants to bone us.
LOL. Why is he attractive to you? I’ve still trying to figure it out. I think it’s his bad boy design
You got it right! He is a bad boy, and bad boys always finish last.
YES IT MAKES SENSE NOW
So Ash lost? Why am I not surprise
What do you mean?
nvm, wrong subject
The final, in HD and with English subs!

Great episode! The Legend Killer is back!
Waiting for serebii’s anime forum to have a meltdown over Noivern not getting a win :p
how did u get it this early?
Anyone else think that the sandcastle Mon and the leaked snowman Mon could be version exclusives? After all, sandcastles are associated with summer and Warmth, whereas snowmen are associated with winter and coldness. Winter also brings longer nights and shorter days, vice versa for Summer. Also, both are man made constructs made from specs of a substance joined together and often with added parts, like carrots and shovels.
arn’t exclusives usually found in the same place though?
Has this generation been traditional at all?
There’s a pokemon professor, a rival, and a fire-water-grass starter trio.
Shhhhhh
Aren’t Marowaks usually killing things with Earthquake, and not being killed by Earthquake? :p
Also, Skuntank is found in some areas Purugly isn’t in Gen IV, so they could of expanded the idea.
Yeah, but they’re still mostly equivalent.
Doing things differently would be having no version exclusives.
Patterns haven’t been a good thing to go off this Gen, all they gave us was starters, Professor, rival, evil team, and surprisingly, us getting a mushroom Mon every odd Gen. Even Gyms seem to be gone.
no i get they are changing things up this gen, I was just asking because I wasn’t 100% sure
I am thinking that it is unlikely. There usually is a small amount of ice types in each generation, and we haven’t had an Alola Pokemon revealed that is an ice type (excluding the variants). I feel that it is more likely that Wishiwashi and Pyukumuku would be exclusives for the additional reason of them possibly being found in the same place and both having equally awesome abilities.
Wouldn’t they of said they were version exclusive though? Also, one seems to be a weak first stage Pokémon whereas the other seem to be a one stage gimmick Mon, and they’re found in different places in the Japanese trailer.
Since they’re both lines based on ghosts inhabiting piles of solid matter, plus all the stuff you’ve said, that seems likely me, especially as we’ve pretty much been shown no version exclusives up to now except the box legends.
Plus sun melts snow. And you play with sand in the sun…
I just watched the Japanese trailer and I love how Guzma tells his Pokemon to attack, it’s like he’s signalling his goons to beat you up 😀
Done with humanity
I wish they made food, that you didn’t have to eat. It just transfers directly into your stomach
I hope that was just an ironic joke on the person’s part and not a real statement.
Want to drop the nukes now or later?
After SM.
Alright
Give us like two weeks to enjoy the games, then drop em.
Your wish is my command
They’re making it out like having to buy your own team Skull outfit is this amazing new thing, but IIRC to be a member of team flare you had to do the same… Though the price range may have been a tad different :p .
It gives off different impressions though, for Team Flare it added to the fact they were sort of like a genocidal country club in terms of joining, whereas for Team Skull it makes them seem disorganised that they aren’t given the resources.
That’s true, I just thought the similarity was amusing.
What if, and i know this is unlikely because of the name, the snowman and sandcastle are the same ghost, just inhabiting different human made structures?
I was thinking what if Mimikyu was as well but this one is unlikely, though yours is much more possible.
I like this idea, but I feel like Mimkyu’s Ghost would be different because it seems somewhat corporeal without possessing anything-its just wearing it’s disguise.
Its a fairy like spirit obsessed by Pikachu obviously
It’s only obsessed by Pikachu because it’s lonely and Pikachu “became really popular about 20 years ago”.
Maybe if I dressed like Pikachu I could be popular too…
^—-^
@ @
o w o
/ ‘ ‘ _w
*is totally not a Mimikyu*
I’ve decided that they will probably be version exclusives seeing as They’re both ghost types with two stages.
Actually can someone just trade me a ditto real quick so i can get its entry
On XY/ORAS?
Im on oras
I would because I have about 3, but then someone on the internet would know my real name. Awkward 😛
What’s wrong with the GTS btw?
I havent seen a ditto yet
You can type in the pokemon’s names.
I cant until i see it, i just need its pokedex entry so i can get a perfect iv ditto on nugget bridge
Nah in gen 6 you can type in names.
Ohhhhhh found it
Thnx guys
No problem. Like I say, I’d have given you one of mine, but that would mean linking my real name to this account 😛
I clearly never expected to be trading with random internet strangers.
I mean, I didn’t really want to either, but I’ve shared my name here many times.
In nearly a decade of having this name online, I’ve only given my real name to people I knew in person and I think maybe 4 others, so it would be a big leap. Besides which I’m used to not hearing my name much.
Besides which, if I make any nasty comments during an off day, it would be hard to trace them back to me 😀
Not to seem greedy or anything but when do we get another batch of information?
Going off of history here, in a few days we’ll find out, and it’ll probably be the 1st.
Wow that’s gonna be a while before anything new then, you think i should bank all my pokemon and start over my Y for the time being?
I need my Rugby Gorilla just so I know it’s real
I’ve waited long for a Ground/Fighting type powerhouse I’m not going to be denied this again
Plot twist
Ground/Fairy
Also the leak said a monkey and Gorillas aren’t monkeys, :p
They’re both apes
Please just don’t jinx it, it’s all I ever wanted
Same, Ground/Fighting is far overdue. What if the ball is stylized like a a banana?
Also they’re not both apes iirc, theyre both primates. Might be pulling that outta nowhere tho
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Primate#Historical_and_modern_terminology
Chinese leaks so far were right on Oricorio, Salandit, Gumshoos, Alola forms and the English names for Mimikyu and Bewear. Your Gorilla is mentioned in the same leaks, so pretty positive you’ll have it.
don’t forget the final evolutions for the starters.
I wont those to be fake because I dont want another Fire starter bipedal
Mallow and the Chinese leaks bro
hey, it’s GF’s, they’re decission!
Thank god I’m not the only one ; u ;
It’s just so easy for info to not be word for word
It could be a Rock/ Fighting or be scrawny
What does it take to make a muscle bound Pokemon with control of the earth
The did get Ninetales wrong.
Then I could be yet another region without a Ground/Fighting…. Which just breaks my black and crusty heart
I have proof of your black and crusty heart:
http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-G346p79_YVw/VbQootKjmcI/AAAAAAAAE9Y/xo0sOrGXlIk/s1600/91.jpg
I’m sorry to break it to you, but monkeys are in fact not apes.
Monkeys have tails, apes do not (among other things).
http://www.sheppardsoftware.com/content/animals/animals/mammals/apevsmonkey.htm
I know what you mean man, I just want my arcanine to be real so i can complete my team 🙁
I think we might get something at worlds maybe not a lot but at least one or two Pokemon revealed
Hey that works for me tbh
Aren’t we getting something at world’s and then something else at a gaming convention?
when is worlds?
August 19th-21st so next weekend lol
Yes!! XD
Dein thinks the Fire Shuriken is the result of AG using Water Shuriken while its raining. Thinks Bisharp will Thunder Wave Goodra and Goodra using Rain Dance to splash it off, and the rain will stick around for the final battle. Watch at 09:00
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZP8c9Hzh2Bs
If dein looked closely at the preview, it’s not raining when Greninja uses the shuriken. And I hate that everyone calls it a fire shuriken cause it’s orange. Anyway, I think Pikachu loses to Charizard, then Goodra comes out as well as Bisharp. BIshard uses Thunder Wave to paralyze it, and Ash use Rain Dance to cure it and beat Bisharp, Then Mega Charizard comes out and beats Goodra, Then it’s Charizard vs Ash-Greninja.
Does anyone want to help me do an egglocke of pokemon Y?

They are as a start, but after you get to Level 20 the game is yours :p
Also, I’d happily send you an egg but I’m away out in an hour so I don’t know if id be able to get it to you :s
No rush, im not home for the next 3 hours. just trying to make sure i can actually get some eggs first lol
I’ll probably be back in roughly under four hours form now, but I have the egg ready already so if you want it you’ve got an egg here :p
Many thanks 🙂
Wait, I just realised, my egg is a trade evo :s
Do you want me to breed another one or are you fine with that?
Oh god lol yes please if its not too much for you to do
Do you want to avoid any other evolution methods? After a recent playthrough of ORAS I found out stones can get annoying quick :s
I think its fine but depending on the stone, dawn, dusk and that other one is harder to get your hands on
I finally pinned down a Pokémon to give you, it’s going to be challenging but I feel that it’ll come in handy if you play it right :p
Ok great, im up for the challenge
That’s the egg ready now, you’ll be surprised by the fact that it’s actually one of my favourite Pokémon, but you’ll probably roll your eyes at the egg move I gave it :p
Also, my FC is 2767-2720-7405 ^-^
Lol oh boy i wonder what im in for
If it survives the whole way, let’s just say it’ll be a roller coaster :p
there’s soo much possibilities i cant even decide on what it could be, cant wait XD, Scolipede? i always wanted to do a run with that lol
Wait, you playing XY or ORAS? If it’s XY it’ll be more consistent, but in ORAS it’ll probably be more like a downwards parabola :p
playing XY lol
Actually thinking of it, it’ll be more inconsistent on XY but early game it’ll be a life saver.
Ahh man you’re making me anxious :0
Nothing like some good old fashion anxiety to get you hyped :p
Whats life without it right lol, but getting off work now see you in an hour or two
Hey I don’t know if this comment thread’s the right place to contact you since its been like three hours, but I’m on my way home now so I’ll be able to get you the egg within the half hour
ok great I’m still not home either sadly, BM is holding me up at her mom’s house :/
It’s fine, I’m probably going to end up falling asleep because it’s midnight here but I’ll still send the egg at some point, at least then you’ll have some eggshellent backups :p
hey I’m ready
I would if I could avoid showing you my trainer name 😛
It would probably have ended up with stupid IVs because I’ve been IV breeding like mad lately. I’ve actually obtained 3x 6IV pokemon, but they weren’t particularly good ones.
Im not really into competitive play, just casual battles and story mode. I play more like its the anime lol
I’m just saying, it’s getting to the point where I’ve got more pokemon with at least 3 perfect IVs than I do pokemon with no perfect IVs. Unless I went out of my way to make them regular or grabbed something off the current mirage island there would have been a high chance of at least 2-3 perfect IVs.
ohhh ok i get your point now, but doesn’t matter to me.
ohh that sounds like fun, if I didn’t use my X version for shiny hunting I might do that myself, that being said I can give you an egg if you still need some
I appreciate that, Im excited XD
IGN: John
fc: 2492-4342-8850
just give me a sec to get it all ready
No rush im not home yet but ill take down your Fc now
ok, cool, the egg I have ready was one of my MVP’s in gen 4 and one of my fav pokemon, and it has an egg move so it should be fun to use 🙂
Ok great cant wait to see what it is
ready?ready?
yes ill log on
should I restart first or trade first?
I cant trade with you until I have your friend code 😛
oh actually I need your fc
Tazz
4098-3469-6527
ok I’m online whenever you’re ready
okay let me restart
hmm, you’re not showing up on my PPS for some reason, so if I show up on yours just send a trade request, I’m in no rush
okay thanks give me a few
sending the request now
thanks a million, if you have anymore let me know. if it’s possible can you pre hatch
oh sorry I thought you wanted them in the egg lol durr my bad
more?
Oi I just had a thought I’m a seasoned veteran trainer, I’ll probably fuss over my Starter’s nature and probably want to EV train it ASAP
Luckily my first Chespin was Impish and my Mudkip was adamant
Really the only thing that matters competitively anymore is nature.
IVs – hyper training
EVs – super training
Ability – ability capsule (unless you want HA)
True true but this stuff is like second nature to us vets
But regardless PVE is just having enough attacks
PVP is another story
That’s true. I always breed and train the traditional way, I don’t really use ST a lot.
I really hope they put hordes back in
Also some kinda Audino or Chansey farm
Audio hordes!
Blissey hordes
Nothing yet.
Buck up broham
Soon enough some artist/weirdo will draw Guzma porking Kukui
And believe me they will
I know but usually there’s like 8818281613137640184848 pieces of art of new characters a few hours after their reveal.
Be patient my friend
I know how it feels waiting for fan drawings, both regular and erotic
It’ll come soon enough
Hopefully will be as good or better than the ByronXRiley
Keep loving who you love
Seems like a lot of people are still calling him ‘Guzuma’ due to the Japanese one being released first.
And all the artists are watching the anime.
I don’t really see a difference lol
Google does though
There’s rule 34 of Mallow pouring gravy over herself.
Rule 34 is constant and unwavering.
Gravy?
Actual gravy, the stuff you put on food.
I’m sorry. I meant why gravy
Because of her apron and ladle. What else is a ladle for? 😛
Tbh, despite it being rule 34 it’s also kind of funny because of the absurdity of someone pouring gravy over themselves. Rule 34 is a mysterious beast. It’s easier to find when you don’t search for it.
Tbh most of the time I see rule 34 instead of approval I show concern for the artist :p
Rule 34 is a kind of approval in its own right.
Besides, a lot of rule 34 artists are actually very good. It’s just a sad irony that they choose to use their powers for such things.
Then again, even popular mangakas make doujins for quick money.
Also I genuinely wasn’t looking for it, I just searched “mallow pokemon” and it was there out of pure internet compliance.
She carries a ladle around so that’s why

oops, him I mean. I just read the girl part 😛
I dunno what pronoun he/she/it/they prefers, that was a good year after I was gone.
People slip away, such is the nature of the world.
Tbh I’m still not sure how I feel about the removal of gyms and potentially the E4. Here’s to having a revisiting of Kalos…
Maybe they’re going to something similar to BW, as the bad guys being the ultimate boss after some shanenigans.
I would be fine with that.
One of the best things GF did in gen 5 is how they handle the evil team, well, BW at least. That would be amazing to see something similar in this gen. Altough I will miss a potential Elite 4… Hell, even gyms….
From the looks of it, Gen 7 might replace Gen 5 as best Gen in my opinion just because it’s so much different from other games. Graphics wise and Pokémon wise and everything.
Is Gen 5 your favorite? Mine too!
Yep! I love everything except the starters. They’re cute but too complicated
Well, gen 5 is amazing, but not flawless… I actually think the Unova starters terá are the worst of the bunch… Only gen that I completely switched a starter for another mon in a playthrough, especially um B2/W2…
Okay I can’t take this! Alolan raichus animation is insane, it’s design is so cute and cool and different without going overboard. The psychic typing to me makes zero sense but I don’t even care! I haven’t used a raichu sense I was 9 in the Hoen region so it’ll be really interesting to using a psychic one now that I’m an adult. Can’t wait ^_^
With so many pokes revealed I can finally start formalizing my team. So far..
-Alolan Raichu (unless a cooler electric type is revealed)
-Either litten or sandlit depending on evolutions
-mimikyu if it evolves
-alolan sandslash if a better steel type isn’t revealed
Personally I think this will stand out as the best corocoro leak:

I can’t believe the line “It’s your boy Guzma” made it into Sun and Moon.
what about Pink Island and Pinkachu
Pinkan island. and that’s off the coast of Honshu
true
it’s like 10 Hours by plane between Hoenn and Alola as well
And 21 from (I suppose) Kalos
I looked it up and Hoenn and Alola are about 7 Million Metres apart.
hmmm
7000km
Those are just berries that cause pigment discoloration
We seem have 3 new moves in this trailer ..the 1st one belong to Minior, the 2nd for Morelull and the last for Marowak…….correct me if I am wrong.
Minior used Ancient Power. Morelull used Spore.
Don’t remember about Marowak.
Alola Marowak seems to be using a sort of ghost type boomerang.
Grave Clobber
nice pun.
*gestures attempting to convey respect*
Ancient Power looks like this these days?……spore didn’t look like that in xy though.
That’s because they change animations with each generation
sure about that? …this Minior throw some fossils.
did u have any source to confirm this?
ANCIENT Power
SOURCE !!!
Fossils are ancient and aside from the very detailed rocks, the rest of the animation is almost the exact same as it has been since it originally appeared.
Marowak used will-o-wisp
Not really this move actually did damage and it’s clearly to see it’s throwing its bone during the attack.
Ow in the english one. But in the japanse trailer its will-o-wisp. Sorry
There’s a new one in Japanese trailer for morelull, ND marowak on the website says about aa new move but no name
What’s the name of the mushroom Morelull is based on?
Morel
Thx!
Team Skull is my favourite Villain Team so far just for their attitude and theme.
They don’t seem to be try hard like Team Galactic or Flare either, they’re just a bunch of thugs.

This just seems unnecessary imo
alot of things is unnecessary in this world
That was quite witty, I’m proud.
If they honour Harambe in Sun/Moon, and then another animal gets shot, should they honour that animal as well? Is there a line where one can’t be honoured in the game?
I honestly don’t feel like they should add a gorilla into the game just because one happened to die and then got tons of media coverage.
I dont think anybody should be honored through 1 and 0 in a video games
What?
1/0s is the numbers of coding in games. Im saying nobody should be honored through a video game
“1/0s is the numbers of coding in games”
Gross oversimplification, but run with it anyway.
well sometimes you got to gross it out, to explain it, trust me im a programmer too
There are 10 types of people in this world:
Those who understand binary and those who do not 😀
1 and 0 = binary, the encoding(?) games and computers use to store data.
(Frankly, I’m a programmer and even I can’t find an accurate simplification for why binary is important. You kind of have to either accept “it’s important” or sit through a really long explanation of what binary is and how it’s used)
Maybe, but the design is pretty cool anyway, I’d be happy to make an exception.
Besides, these petitions almost never work, it’s just a good natured show of support.
We also don’t have a gorilla. Tbh it’s stupid yes. I agree with you. Even though it’s a joke, I’ve seen some really good designs for gorilla pokemon from it.
I wouldn’t mind a gorilla pokemon, and I like the design as well.
But if Game Freak does add a gorilla into the game people will probably think it’s because of some irrelevant petition which irks me.
They won’t lol
What would be irking about that?
The idea that Gamefreak could actually listen to people’s opinions?
It’s not a total joke, a lot of people genuinely think the gorilla shouldn’t have been shot.
The petition is a half joke though.
Some people do it as a joke, some do it as a serious thing.
lol it’s a meme don’t take it seriously
Maybe they could add a Gorilla cos the closest we have is Slaking and Truant sucks.
Cant pinpoint the area where these grunts are located…thoughts?
The player has tracking devices now?
yep Rotom Dex lol
That’s a digital map, not a tracking device that can be hooked onto people.
Points for not forgetting that’s a thing though.
Rotom Dex: Woah Woah Buddy Digital Map is kinda insulting i would like to say “handsome” fellow
I’d say ‘handy personal assistant with a sleek shell’, but then I’m a programmer, we probably don’t count as human 😛
Oh, I read that as ‘can pinpoint the area where the grunts are located’, implying the trainer could track team Skull.
Oops XD
It’s plausible. Definately a bamboo jungle they’re in.
I’ve found where Guzma was in the trailer with the Pagoda:

Are we going to get another update tomorrow?
No, today’s trailer was the one meant for tomorrows
Okay, I guess next month we’ll get more info
So I was watching some trailers with my friend who used to play Pokemon and he said ‘They’re running out of ideas’ after seeing Minior. Well this is what I say to those people, “Gen 1 had a Pile o’ Crap and a 6-Pack of eggs, they couldn’t have run out of ideas then because they just started.” and now these people are saying they’re running out of ideas. Geez.. (I don’t have anything against Muk and Exeggcute)
a literal seal.
Named Seel
Seel is good tho
Ye
Dewgong is better.
I’ve never understood that argument. What does ‘running out of ideas’ even mean?
Ice Cream, it means a Trash Bag and Ice Cream
But that’s an idea no?
Every time, quite literally every time read about bad Pokemon those two come up
Seriously all the time
I know right?
Yeah?! Well, ICE CREAM is one of my favorite Pokemon!
a bad idea would them rehashing a old idea. like another pile of sludge
*Hides duosion*
Duosion isnt a pile of sludge tho,
Still looks kind of snotty.
its based off cells and the embryonary stage,
So yes, it looks snotty.
Vanilluxe is awesome so genwunners can suck it
I had this exact same Rubbish monster vs sludge pile argument with a genwunner when gen 5 came out.
With the amount of thought and research gone into each pokemon, I think “running out of ideas” is ridiculous
True, look at how much thought they put into the newer pokemon and alola forms
And THEN THERE IS Raichu.
Like, I love it, but its explanation is just terrible
Nobodies knows why it happened, it just happened.
Cos you know….screw you hahahaha
Like, you could’ve at least put two ACTUAL theories to leave people speculating without seeming lazy
The best part is …’nobody even questions why it happened’
Maybe that’s what GF wanted us to do
BECAUSE PANCAKES!
yeah, they could’ve easily made a nod to the pikachu named puka from Pi-Kahuna where they most likely drew inspiration
both had blue eyes, psychic powers, surfed
They should’ve said selected breeding led to increased electrical flow to its brain allowing newfound psychic abilities to flourish
no earthen, PANCAKES HAPPENED.
*Throws an SUV*
*THROWS PANCAKES*
War is hell…
HELL IS PANCAKES?
War…War never changes
My money would have been it developing psychic powers from focusing so hard on having to navigate the rough waters.
Eventually it learned to predict the tides so it knew when was the best time to hunt for prey.
Dude it’s a mouse what prey would they hunt they’re scavengers
They could eat sea plants or small fish (they are omivorous).
Or they could surf to other islands to vary their diet and to spread their species (I would imagine most pokemon are isolated to one island without the ability to surf between them).
We do know why it happened, Pancakes. Pancakes Happened
The alola forms are debatable…
let me just clarify
‘Running out of ideas’ is a stupid comment
‘Running out of good ideas’ or ‘Running out of interesting ideas’ makes more sense. Plus it makes the argument subjective.
so wait Pyukumuku finds a spot and loves it forever, once we catch it arent we bascially ruining its chances of happiness by removing it from its one true love the spot? or will it just try to run away everytime we summon it XD. that totally needs to be a anime episode
Oh yay, people do actually read the lore 😀
i mean its kinda sad tho if u think about it.
A lot of pokemon have sad themes.
It’ll get over it when it evolves.
We need W’s no time for happiness
So… you know where I’m going with this:
http://i.imgur.com/X3504of.jpg
Hoenn Confirmed
I would love to see her return on SuMo!
her grandparents are the people on mt. pyre ya know.
For real?? That’s cool
the real life Equivalent of Mt. Pyre Erupted either earlier this year or last year.
Yep. But her parents aren’t.
“It all comes together in Pokemon Sun and Pokemon Moon”
… it really isn’t coming together though
it was a joke .-.
No I’m talking about the actual games. It’s actually super disconnected from the other regions so far
well couriway town has a train that connects people of great distances…
kalos confirmed
“It all falls apart in Pokemon sun and Pokemon moon”.
Ok crack theory time:
Her Grandparents are from Hoenn.
But at least one of her parents is from Alola.
She was born in Alola but moved to Hoenn to train with her grandparents.
Her clothing is a gift from her Alolan parent.
So she’s multi-cultural (Hoenn and Alola) and could potentially cameo in Alola for a one off battle or something.
Am I smoking drugs or is this plausible?
Anything’s possible at this point IMO.
I can reassure you that you are indeed wacked out of your gourd
or she’s based on cultures from one of the Japanese island chains. They do have those that have an almost similar culture to Hawaii.
Check Stitch! the anime to know what I mean. It’s bad I know, but it’s an example nontheless.
True.
But that doesn’t explain why her grandparents are mentioned but not her parents.
her parents may have come from those islands, not Hawaii. Remember, Pokemon from Kanto to Sinnoh ‘IS’ Japanese afterall!
Doesn’t explain why they aren’t mentioned though.
If they’re right there in Hoenn with her, and she talks about her family, you’d expect her to mention them alongside her (deceased) grandmother.
hmmm
There has to be some reason her grandmother is more important to her than anyone else, but it’s a story they don’t go into other than showing her visiting her grandmother’s grave in ORAS.
Look! Just because she’s wearing Polynesian clothes as this, doesn’t necessarily count her as being from Alola you know.
Her skin tone is different from other Hoenn people’s too. It’s more like Hau’s, or half way between.

Well, I’m convinced.
But we wait until the game comes out.
Next the company would probably say that Cynthia’s parents are from a British Pokemon region.
She has the Anglo-American accent in the english dub for a start, with how she pronounces her T’s. Not only that, but her researching and understanding of Pokemon do seem to fit that of many famed British people, such as Charles Darwin, David Attenburgh, etc.
I woudn’t be surprise that Britain would be the inspiration for a future Pokemon Region alongside a remake of BW or XY, where it would show not just Cynthia’s parents, but also the connection to the war between it and Kalos.
But anyhoo, it’s just a theory, and only Pokemon may have their own ideas of how it may handle it’s characters.
Plausible, but I tend to take the dub with a pinch of salt. I’ll look at some in game evidence though.
If that was the case I’d be ok with it because she’s my 2nd favourite champion.
It’s Attenborough for the record. I can understand people finding that difficult if they don’t live in a borough 😛
A bit less plausible, but not impossible.
One thing I will say: Cynthia’s Grandmother lives in Celestic town, but her parents aren’t mentioned either. So she’s actually similar to Phoebe in that respect.
Cynthia happens to be the inspiration for Selena and her son Karius in my comic series, Elzeron Chronicles. So are a few characters in the series.
she’s living in hokkaido…
yes I know
I want to punch him in the face
Even if he were a raging psyhopath?
http://orig05.deviantart.net/afc8/f/2016/161/f/1/blood_philum__hau_from_pokemon_by_ffphilum-da5mbhv.jpg
so phoebe’s potentially Hawaiian-Japanese is what you’re saying?
Would explain the slightly different skin colouration and the floral attire.
So, unrelated to SM, but do any of you have Pokemon GO nests in your area? I don’t near my house, but I’m going to a Ponyta nest soon, I’m interested to see just how populated with Ponyta it is.
P. S. Does anyone know what the best GO IV calculator is?
I just assumed Go Didn’t use IV’s or EV’s or really any sort of stats other than CP and HP
It’s actually VERY complicated, it has like 6 hidden stats.
Lots of Pidgey and Rattata nests in Mississippi
I don’t think those are nests but rather just commons.
Hush as common as they are they’re the closest things to nests I have.
Lots of Pidgey, rattata, and spearow nests in my neighborhood in Paris. I haven’t seem any ponyta around but I got one through an egg!
I just now realized something. Wasn’t one of the rumored Alolan variants Poison/Fighting type Nidoking and Nidoqueen? What if those are the aces of Guzma and Plumaria. That’d be really cool.
makes sense.
Are Guzma and Plumaria related? I’m kinda confused
I don’t think so. Not that we know, anyways. “Big sister” is like a colloquial term, it’s not literal.
Good because I was scared to ship them
No, she’s a “big sister” figure.
She takes on the role of the person in charge, but without being an adult herself and without being motherly.
The original Japanese term was “ane” I think.
Japan has a lot of cultural roles they attempt to translate, but it usually only works if you make the effort to research them.
To expand on what Pharap said, the reason she called herself ‘ane’ is because that’s probably what the other grunts call her. You normally use ‘onee-chan’ for big sister, but ‘ane’ is for your own big sister.
Consider her dialogue. She seems to really care about the other grunts, so it’s easy to see why they call her that.
Pyukumuku is something you switch in on a suspected Z move. It’s gets OHKO’d and takes the attacker down with it.
It’s like the FEAR pokemon in a way.
More in switch in bait
Wumbo.
I Wumbo, you wumbo, he she me wumbo
I knew you had the switch set to W ! 😀
This makes me want to play Battle for Bikini Bottom or DK 64 for some reason
Sure why not, great games they are !
Try and guess my favorite kongs
BfBB is SO Good!
Thats a damn good idea, I’m going to steal it 😛
The Team Skull theme is pretty cool, but also weird and I think it’d be better without the chanting.
I like it with the chanting, reminds me of the Ghetsis theme. But hey to each their own.
It’s pretty funky and hip. I’ll have to hear more of it.
I freaking Love the creepy chanting!
I see you updated your Togetic picture
Yes! Because most ppl seem to be updating theirs hehe
I like it, I think… kind of got Splatoon vibes of it though.
I’m going to vanish now before I get dragged into any more discussions lest I never be able to leave.
It’s official, the entirety of Pokejungle is a trap.

Aye its Paul lol
He did ask to be on to be fair.
So what? Joe is boring (no offense) XD….
Love Joe’s observations, but his South Coast British accent is really hard to grasp lol
honestly forgot he was British until he started talking.
Yeah he’s from Bournemouth
Wow that’s really close to where my grandparents live (Poole)! My mom grew up in Weymouth, but neither she nor her parents have an accent like that!
It makes me want to vomit and I like accents.
True… he also is the kind of guy to go by the facts, which I like….
Hears Paul: OOOOOH YAY
Hears Joe: uuuuuugh
Paul: OMG I’M SO FUN AND STUFF
Joe: ew I’m boring Where’s my tea I like to act superior BOW TO ME
Lol…’where’s my tea’.
I see what you did there.
Hau doesn’t deserve Alola Raichu, he’s a Sawyer lookalike. Cant stand him.
I keep telling y’all that this kid would be annoying
Want to shoot him in the kneecaps
Fine you get the kneecaps I’ll go Gallagher on his melon

What?
They look nothing alike
Why do people always have to hate nice people?
They got it coming
For what?
He’s a fraud who tried to imitate Ash. And he got all these fancy mons he didn’t deserved
Aren’t we talking about Hau? Plus he caught them himself, it’s not a matter of deserving.
I hate Hau because he always smiles.
You must be a depressing person. Kukui also smiles all the time.
No I love Kukui
So what’s the difference between them? Both are Happy-go-lucky guys.
Like I said Hau reminds me of Sawyer
And Sawyer wasn’t even a bad character. He gave Ash a run for his money, progressed very quickly, and was a pretty good strategist.
Meh didn’t liked him. But tbh I’m half asleep in bed, so I’m prone to make silly remarks now. Probably wont remember this convo in a few hours.
No, he tried to learn from Ash. Sawyer was brilliant. Shown as a trainer who actually improves from his experiences. Exactly what everyone wants Ash to do.
To be fair, no one deserves Alolan Raichu. Biggest cop out in Pokemon history.
I’ve already claimed it. Pikachu line is MINE
So, Raichu floats on its tail because it.. ate too many sweet and fluffy round pancakes?
It floats because of the psychic energy being channeled into the tail
The reason WHY it has Psychic abilities is a load of EFFING TAUROS
Satoshi’s F-Tauros?
Get out
Gamefreak:
Exec 1: GUYZ, wut if we took Raichu…and have it stand on its tail
Exec 2: But…why?
Exec 3: Because…because..surfing pikachu and stuff! So like Raichu can surf but on its tail now!!
Exec 2: So it’d be Electric/Water?
Exec 1: No, idiot…it becomes a psychic type because reasons. Duh, it makes sense. Its an adaptation..don’t you know how those work?
Exec 3: Let’s troll them too. Gav what you have for breakfast today…
Uh…pancakes?
Pancakes give Psychic powers. You heard it here first folks
Seriously though, the pancake theory is just one of those folk tales that the people of Alola tell each other since the real reason is currently unknown.
Not saying that makes it any better, but it’s something.
Those dumblocks need better explanations
Alolan Ninetales should’ve been Ghost
Sandslash shouldn’t be part steel
Marowak should’ve been born by volcanic ash via new evolution
Raichu should have a detail based on breeding and increased brain activity via increased electrical stimuli
I agree about Ninetails and Raichu.
I disagree with the rest. Sandslash and Marowack are fine (apart from the Cubone fiasco)
And if they were to be steel they need a better reason
An icy she’ll as hard as steel don’t fly by moi
It works for me. The claws kind of also look steel.
Should have said something along the lines of, claws developed into razor sharp steel to allow it to easily cut through the ice.
You always make sense.
No duh I put so much time thought and energy into this kinda stuff, at least I could be revered for it
Earthen Sensei
My theory is that Sandslash was part steel to resist the cold where it resided, then the ice and snow created an ice coating over the steel, hence the Ice/Steel typing.
And why should Ninetails be part Ghost?
I kinda wanted Raichu to be a DNA experiment gone wrong and resulted the psychic abilities
Correction: PanQUAKES
@charzking:disqus
I can trade if you’re ready
But I won’t be available 9-10:30 your time
Any Kingdom Hearts fans? KH13 just tweeted an exclusive spoiler regarding the Lingering Will.
Yes and I’ve lost all track of KH III since they’re taking forever with it.
Lol its coming Q1 2017
Right now it is.
My rule of thumb is don’t announce games at E3 unless you’re showing a new console or it’s planned to come out within a year and a half. Same with Kickstarter, look at how MN9 turned out.
Exactly.
Yes, and same as Bastiodon
So about the last about the leaks, the snowman, dolphin and rugby monkey
dis snowman I have some ideas I know people are saying Ice/Ghost but I’m trying to run down the leaks because some say Ice/Ghost and others I’m trying to figure whose right
Anywho I’m modeling my idea on Japanese folklore of Yuk Jiji the old man of the snow which was basically an avalanche causing spirit
Which works perfectly since Alola has such a perfect snow mountain that’s bound to crumble, so what we can do is a Ice/Ghost Snowball/Snowman/monster that builds power from packing snow into its bodies ergo its new ability that either increases its attack and defense when hit by ice moves or that it changes form in an hailstorm
It readies itself on snowy cliffs and tumbles down to try and scare opponents and if that doesn’t work it uses the avalanche to build its power to fight back
Which would you have preferred?
Alolan Persian or Mega Persian?
(Don’t know why the artist named it Mysian.)
Alola!
Alola, but I would have wanted the Mega Persian design for Arcanine
Why is it ghost though?
I dunno. ‘Twas the artist’s decision.
Wait bran is remembering
I had another dream and I saw a Alolan Persain soot grey, with a menacing scowl and on the forehead with a cluster of jewels on the forehead, a ringlet of gold and silver around each paw and long buttery fur
Dark/Rock or would Dark/Steel be slightly better
You don’t accept Alolan Sandshrew and Alolan Sandslash as Ice/Steel-types, but you’d be alright with Alolan Persian being a Dark/Steel-type?
The Royal constantly surrounded them with riches promoted the process, the coin on their head reacted to the riches whatever I’m trying to work with the fuzzy diseased bog that I call my brain
I hereby dub thee Earthy, the Bog-Brain.
Do that and I’ll eat your limbs
That’s exactly what a Bog-Brain would like to do.
Just seen the Ash vs Alain episode. Very interesting but a few nit picks. Careful for SPOILERS
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
I would have had TalonFlame beat Unfezant, then Metagross finish off TalonFlame and be recalled for Bisharp. Goodra vs Bisharp could have ended in a draw, then Pikachu could have taken out Metagross
As it stand both of Alains Pseudo Legends didn’t get a single win each. I guess that’s the price you have to pay when you have to pave the way for Mega Charizard X.
DID ASH BECOME CHAMPION?
It concludes next week
So there hasn’t been a winner yet? Dang.
Nope. Alain is down to his last 2, Ash still has 3, albeit one very worn out.
im still laughing over the fact that pikachu got murdered by metagross and 2 min later “nvm im fine” and just rips apart metagross
Metagross was destroying Pikachu. That stupid rat has the most OP plot armour.
i s2g pikachu defense EV and IVs are over 252
Well not for nothing Electric types resist Steel
“Pikachu uses a Non-STAB physical not very effective move against Metagross”
“Metagross faints”
So, from what I’m getting at the evil team leader failed at being a trial captain, or Kahuna, or whatever it is and wants to do away with old traditions in favor of new ones?
So he forms his own evil elite four with him as the champion, so you have to make your own in order to challenge him.
Has anyone seen this floating around?
It was proven fake
I was looking at Morelull what if it’s an upside down evolution???
The last thing we need is this getting a evolution quite literally anything with Spore gets annoying fast
Except maybe Parasect Paras is actually somewhat viable in LC
But spore is just trouble
Does Breloom bring back bad memories?
And fresh wounds, seriously that thing is a beast
It’s gotta have an evo. You, I, and Arceus know it.
I just realized that in the future, people playing ROMs of XY will never be able to get Malamar.
Sux to be them
I must say that Team Skull has grown on me immensely over the past day, especially with that new theme from the trailer which is absolutely PHENOMENAL. Maybe one of my favorite villainous themes in the series thus far.
I’m honestly surprised about all the positive reception the music has gotten. I’m so confused, I know people have different tastes, but I’d go so far to say that it’s the worst Pokemon theme I’ve heard.
To each their own, I guess. It gives off the villainous vibe that we need from S/M, and I personally can’t wait to see how the team will develop.
I weird because I’m the only one I’ve seen that hasn’t loved it. It’d be different if it was like half and half but I just think it’s funny how my opinion varies so greatly from others.
It’s okay. I’m generally one of the only ones who thinks the alola forms are overall bad so far, save a few.
Im a tiny bit dissapointed we have a villainous team though. Not sure what I would want instead, but Alola is so beautiful and happy and I don’t want them ruining it with their tudes. However, their negativity might make me want to beat them even more.
I’m the exact opposite. I honestly love it, and I can’t stop listening to it!
Everyone does. I’m shocked.
https://youtu.be/QfNHWDePQCc
It just screams punk, and they mean gritty business
I really think I’m going to be sad to have to end such a delightful devision of dastardly delinquents
And maybe this alliteration outbreak with end
To add on, this is the encounter theme. iirc, each team has an encounter theme (the theme that plays when you’re in the overworld with them) and a battle theme. This is probably the battle theme:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WObUZBYxf0o
i notice pokemon sun and moon music always has a start up music then real theme
Believe me when I say that they’ll be the most satisfying team to obliterate.
I love both of them <3 I should probably go back to the videos and replay their parts so I can hear it xD
The best Pokemon by far in this game is the Alola Vulpix.
Wrong, Mudsdale
http://www.reactiongifs.com/r/dis3.gif
This is an opinion, but imo I like Salandit or Mudsdale the best….
Of course is my opinion, we all create an account to express or own opinion as well. I don’t speak for every fan in the whole franchise…
I like more this game than Pokemon X or YYeah man! This is essentially why we’re here. To express our opinion and discuss it with the rest of the users here!
My fav is Vikavolt. Two of my favorite types, plus it just looks like it’ll wreck you.
http://38.media.tumblr.com/92a7c4e0253a46a38912c6114f370f69/tumblr_inline_nq1obyAEW11qc22fu_500.gif
Weak to stealth rock and fire
And it doesn’t look too defensive so a decent bulky ground with Rock Slide or even better Stone Edge would kill
Unless they be jerks and let it learn Giga Drain for whatever stupid bug reason
I don’t care about battling prowess. The design is great. It’s not like I’m going to send it against a rock type anyway lmao
Nearly everyone carries a rock move
Doesn’t matter to me
Not everyone plays competitive.
I usually find him attractive. . . ?
http://www.reactiongifs.com/r/lkrwtf.gif
My is Komala
I honestly forgot about it
if it was ground type you wouldnt have
I gotta agree with Earthen, Komala is probably the most forgettable so far along with bouncsweet and togedemaru.
who?
Because it was never featured in a trailer
That’s true
Narkoala!
WRONG it’s Guzma
I love the ridiculousness of Alolan Exeggutor. Also the beast that is School Form Wishiwashi
The Alola Exeggutor is a little strage bro… >.<
Haha.. That’s why I love it. It’s a daring design decision from GF who can be a bit ‘safe’ sometimes. And the origin of it makes the most sense out of all the Alolan forms I think.
sandcastle pokemon disagrees
“Too Normal”
IGN 1.0
Which is ironic considering that it’s mostly a recolor.
This may be plain and not unique, but I feel like Rowlet is the best. Actually scratch that, I like Oricorio the best.
Alola Raichu is my favourite.
Not counting Alola forms my favourite is either Vikavolt or Mimikkyu.
Theme ranking: Skull > Flare > Galatic >> Neo Plasma > Plasma >>>>>> Aqua/Magma > Rocket
https://media.giphy.com/media/131HyNiD4Fmuic/giphy.gif
We literally no close to nothing, how can you make an informed decision?
because after hearing team skull theme, my face was cleanse, my crops were harvested, my fears were gone. It so good
???
It made my ears bleed.
…. Glitter? We know. . Ours too
They bled poison.
Yum
Flare too high
what your ranking?
Plasma = Galactic > Neo Plasma > Aqua/Magma > Rocket > Skull > Flare
Skull could rank up, but for now I’m putting it there till I play the games.
Mine is
Skull >Galactic >Rocket > Magma/Aqua > Plasma >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Flare
Galactic=Skull=BothPlasmas>Magma=Aqua>Rocket>Flare
Team Flare is the worst. Too much orange
You da gif king/queen
i give credit to tumblr, giphy and my knowledge of reality tv
This gif is a bit irrelevant though.
not really. is basically saying that no matter what other people say, im still stuck with my opinion.
I see it if someone was arguing with you, or if what you said warranted a reaction, but it doesn’t really work this time IMO. ;~;
I completely agree with everything but plasma’s placement as I really loved their theme! I’d put them above galactic and tied with flare
So far, it’s gotta be
Galactic>Skull>Plasma>Neo Plasma>Flare>Aqua/Magma>Rocket
Anyone else see dragonite and zubat are next? Its on the japanese website!
What…
If I’m not mistaken go look!
It’s true on Pokemon’s Japanese Website. There’s a picture of Dragonite and Zubat in the Alola forms section
Link because I can’t read Japanese
Hold on. I’ll post a Picture
http://www.pokemon.co.jp/ex/sun_moon/pokemon/160812_07.html
ElectivireMan mentioned this before, look where Dragonite and Zubat are.
(I couldn’t post a picture so here’s a link)
Oh wow! Good find you all!
I’m gonna be walking around with a Full Alolan team if they keep it up. .. ???
But they already showed Zubats regular evo.. hmm..
I think I’ll stick with my Crobat on gen 2 team
I’m confused, why are there old Pokemon on the SM page? Sorry if it obvious, my brain is fried right now.
Making way for their alolan forms…. Or mega! But zu isn’t full evo
So we’re getting them soon? Also that’ll be so weird if we get Alolan golbat but not Alolan Crobat. That’ll make me pretty angry, I can already tell.
They just showed regular Crowbat on Team Skull too..
Weird indeed
I’m still extremely skeptical
@charzking:disqus
We can trade now. I added you.
Somebody translate…..please
https://twitter.com/Pokemon_cojp/status/763910394263969792
They’re getting Alolan forms….
Basically like, “Dragonite and Zubat arrive in Sun and Moon! Stay tuned to know more about these familiar pokemon.” Took this from a twitter user
The real question is: how tuned do we have to stay? Like in a few hours or a few weeks? Probably the latter.
Probably a lil while
But what does that mean?!?! O_O More cryptic answers.
Never and they’re just baiting us!
alola forms probably. Plumeria had a goldbat on her team. While this a big reach because all villains have a goldbat family line, maybe an alolan crobat would be her main pokemon
That guy I mentioned awhile back mentioned Alolan Dragonite Being Fire type so speculation
Predictions:
Alolan Dragonite: Water/Dragon
Alolan Zubat: Poison/Fairy (sadly)
WHY A FUCKING FAIRY SERIOUSLY WHY WOULD ANYBODY THINK THAT IT
IM SERIOUSLY ASKING
I don’t want it either, but the way they’re going I see it happening.
Every FREAKING TIME Fairy type this and Fairy type that, this is why I hate them so god damn much
Including Alola forms, we have 9 (I believe) new fairies. Comparatively, we have one dragon, and one dark type.
But no actually new ice or dark types yet ;-;
Don’t worry. We’re gonna get 26 lol
And yet fairies still only constitute 5.1% of all Pokemon. If you’re wondering, that makes them extremely rare still.
You hate fairies…I get it. But some people appreciate them adding a good amount to catch up with other types.
That’s fair, but Ghost and Ice are even rarer and have been around since gen I… Where’s their overdue overcompensation? Plus, wouldn’t it make sense that fairies would be a rarer type? They’re supposed to be mystical elusive creatures aren’t they?
Ghost type Pokemon being rare is more believable considering they are supposed to be *dead* Pokemon. It would be pretty morbid in a children’s game if there were a lot of ghost type Pokemon lol. As for Ice types they suffer from being way to closely associated with animals that would equally be water types. I think most Pokemon that might be ice type are just made water type sometime during development
ew so Exeggutor was the only dragon?
Drampa
Fairies are OP and there are too many.
Yep
Xerneas is beyond touchble once it gets geo
Slurps unburdened belly drum
Togekiss lends it’s beyond broken para flinching
Azumarill is just super annoying too once it gets a BD
Mega Mawile everyone knows once it has a swords dance you cannot touch it
Gardevoir just another op mega
Altaria annoying and ugly
And now Whimsicott let’s Fairies use the most broken ability in game Prankster
Anybody else, TWave blasting Granbull, this one annoying Florges that just sat around doing nothing but toxic and wish and no attacks, Klefki got swagger banned, and that annoying prick Diancie just such a inconvenience
I hope Alola Zubat is Dark.
1) There’s no Poisonous animals in Hawaii
2) It should look like the Hawaiian Hoary Bat. Furry and brown
Good call, the lack of decent caves promoted the use of camouflage and soon after they began changing their appearance to match it
I’m with you on this one. Against fairies
there is no poisionous animal in Hawaii? guess where im living now lol. I have a phobia of poisonous animal. especially scorpions..
Well hello there fearer of Scorpions!
Well, unless you go in the ocean, yes. There are no poisonous animals.
idk how zubat would become a fairy type it makes no sense.
I could see Poison/Fairy for some sort of Demon Butterfly
so why not make Butterfree that.
I could see it as Bug/Fairy, I could see Venomoth as Poison/Psychic or Poison/Fairy though
I hope Alola Dragonite resembles Dratini and Dragonair more than normal Dragonite.
Plumeria makeup in real life
She the queen of ug.
Somebody call VOGUE!
Is that the eyes of Bianca del Rio ?
Well, I’ve gotta go. I hope when I come back we have Alolan Dragonite and Zubutt.
Cya 🙂
This is like me in the caves attacked endlessly by them
Zubaception
OMG I cannot believe the furry zubat I came up with when I made my own concept for subspecies a few years ago might be a thing!!!
As absolutely amazing as that would be, I also absolutely cannot tolerate Alolan Dragonite instead of mega dragonite. If that happens, just f*ck you GF. IMO it’s just unfair not to give it a mega like its peers. Commit to the damn patterns you begin, Game Freak….
Also I’m not exactly clear on what the source for those two is… An official site mishap and a twitter post? Is that it?
Yeah. I need my Dragonitenite
Dragonitite
huh weird, we’ve seen dragonite and Zubat in the trailer looking the same. so i dont think they could get Alolan forms but that tweet is odd
Trailers mean nothing in the grand scheme of things. It wouldn’t be the first time they’ve tricked us
well. Gameplays show the grunts having regular zubats and Big Sis having a Golbat.
Perhaps it’s something different then
Hm maybe Z-Ring Dragon and Poison?
maybe alolan crobat?
Crobat is very likely. but Dragonite being a final and we’ve seen it already in the trailer i can’t see having one.
Maybe, although doesn’t seem like anything to hype up
I think there will still be a way to have Pokémon in their original forms. In the Japanese trailers, you can see normal Exeggutor and Raichu (maybe others but those are the ones I remember) in the Alolan Pokedex. So I’m sure that it’s a possibility that there could still be Alolan forms of normal Pokémon we have seen in the trailers.
well obviously pokemon bank and poke-transfer are things.
Are the Poké-balls that the grunts throw Safari balls? If so I guess the Safari Zone is back in. (We haven’t had a real one since Diamond and Pearl correct? Not including the friend safari)
its nest ball.
Ah you’re right! Same color scheme threw me for a loop! Thanks!
HG/SS
I don’t count that it’s just like all of XY a Wannabe region with everything going wrong they only didn’t screw up 2 things
1. Some of the Mega’s
2. Dedenne
It’s a nest ball, as said before. But it’s also probably a play in how the grunts get all the weaker pokemon
Announcement Trubish will live in city environment the one thing I wanted Pokemon catchable in cities! Not via Headbutt, Rod, Surf, ect. But by grass patches!
heard you on Gamexplain, Pokejungle! I hope you are a guest more often!
Now we just need somebody like Marriland or WPM on it and we have a full on Pokemon Journalist Panel Going!
The next pokemon games WILL take place in a NEW. REGION.
I know it’s not a big deal, because we regularly talk to him on here, but I got pretty excited when Paul replied to my comment on the gamexplain video 🙂
I’m confused….Why would they point out Zubat and Dragonite if they were just gong to give them Alolan forms? They didn’t do that with any of the others….
Gotta build hype using different tactics
But then why not do it for the others? It just doesn’t make any sense lol
Do Nintendo or GF ever really make sense?
*sigh*……I guess not…..hahaha
Hold it, the Team Skull Grunt’s Zubat looks normal…
Doesn’t mean Crobat ain’t gonna have an Alolan form though?
Tomorrow’s episode of SU is going to be amazing
what’s the episode that is going to be airing anyway?
No idea, but apparently we were in the third season, so apparently all seasons are half as long as the first now.
Fourth season started today.
as in WERE past tense.
Know Your Fusion. Steven’s going to learn more about it since they accidentally made Smokey the other night.
I’m catching up, on season 3 now. By tomorrow, I should be all caught up 🙂
I’m catching up, on “Lion 2” now! 🙂
Guys! Tbh, I’m not satisfied with just these grunts. I feel like they are grunts and will steal and do malicious things but I get the vibe like there is another team who has real intentions like capturing zygard/Legends of S&M becuase I don’t feel like this team looks like they want to capture the legends. To me either there is another team behind their back, working underground without being seen and these guys just don’t know it (team flare or another team)or the boss looks like he is “Cyrus crazy” and might be working with another team and betray this one (like working with Lysander or they could be related and he just manages team flare on the low key to capture zygard. They do look somewhat from the hair) . That’s just the type of vibe I get. It’s a long shot.
I think Team Skull will be the most badass team ever, like real bad and troublemaker guys
Alolan Growlithe? http://i.4cdn.org/vp/1470972500701.jpg
Source??
http://boards.4chan.org/vp/thread/27725175/next-trailer#p27726063
Huh.
I don’t think it’s legit, seems too blurry to me.
I didn’t know if it real or not but predict that Alolan Growlith will lose chest fur.
Where was that leak with the Alola Growlithe from, by the way? Same source as the chinese one?
We can’t know this …..cuz it leaked in 4chan first.
Water Growlith is completely fake ……but if it’s the same source yet. http://i.4cdn.org/vp/1470974224777.jpg
Its fake. Gen 7 doesn’t have the little arena templates beneath the Pokémon anymore. That’s an edited gen 6 pic. Alolan growlithe can still happen but this is not it.
yeah I said it’s completely fake.
can someone trade me 3 eggs?
Three different ones from the same person or just three eggs in general? Because I still got my egg to give you, but I’d happily breed another two quickly.
3 eggs in general, and yes I’ll take one now and you can give me the other 3 tonight. I’m heading to work, I already have your fc
Okay, I’ll try and give you some creative eggs :p
I’m ready to trade when you are, but I still need your fc
Okay Great FC: 4098-3469-6527 🙂
That’s you registered now ^-^
thank you kind sir, can I request some 3 stagers for later?
Sure thing! I already had one in mind that was a three stager :p
XD can’t wait
hey are you available?
Hey fellow Junglers just a thought what if they made Alolan Ditto I wonder what it would look like?
We don’t need a stupid Alolan Ditto it just doesn’t need to adapt
Ehh I just thought I’d it did what would it look like a few I wonder about Magikarp, Ditto, Feebas?
He’d be brown and would turn into a tanned version of every Pokemon
Tbh I don’t understand all the Fairy hate, there’s always going to be a rarest type and it’s already established by how much Fairy Types we got and got retyped last Gen that they’re not going to be an especially rare type.
Also if we’re going to hate types based on broken Pokémon, Dragon and Ground deserve a lot of hatred too :p
I don’t hate Fairy types, but I do think they are a bit strong both in offence and defence.
I don’t necessarily hate them but they were made to balance the game. They’re weak to two of the least common types in competitive (because those two types are weak to common moves like Earthquake and Psychic and Flamethrower). I always thought Dragons were OP but nope. Not anymore. They need to give fairies another weakness or something
I’m telling ya’, they need to make ice types resistant to fairy and dragon (2 of the strongest attacking types) and immune to ghost (a type that really doesn’t have much stopping it besides dark, because normal types are so uncommon in competitive) this will also make ice types a more viable defense switch in as well, and balance them out a bit.
I don’t think they are that
strong broken type Dragon people say it is one of the best types wrong only Super effective on 1 type resistant to 4 and weak to 3 I say Steel is better!
I don’t hate them, they are one of my favorite types, but dear lord they need to cool it with them this gen, we’ve gotten so many for sun and moon already.
It’s my 4th favorite type right after
Water
Grass
Normal
hey do you have those eggs? sorry didn’t have a better way of contacting you lol
Guys I think I have convinced myself on how Alolan Forms work. Pokemon considers each stage in the evolution line as a different species, and the evolution process while seemingly working as metamorphosis in some cases, is actually the process of evolution at work with the genetic composition of the Pokemon dynamically and spontaneously changing taking into effect environmental factors such as the Alolan contextual factors that cause Alolan formes to come into existence. Hence for example, sandshrew which is a shrew considered to be the origin species of all mammals, evolves into a hedgehog, which is actually representative of an evolutionary process. Similarly, A Pikachu in Alola (which presently still resembles Pikachu worldwide) while evolving acknowledges the contextual factors and hence becomes Alolan Raichu.
So is anyone looking foward to worlds for new info or y’all think this is all we’re gonna get for this month
I think we can expect at least 2 new mons/ alola forms at world
I wonder if there aught to be a Dragon/Fairy Type, or a Fairy/Dragon Type sometime in the future?
I would be pleased with a Dragon/fairy type…..Dragon is my fav and fairy is my least fav but i wonder how that would play out
The last thing I want to see is another god damn fairy and even more so if it got the Pseudo legend slot because if that happens it will be fucking annoying to deal with
Just so sick of everything right now
if you hate the new Pokemon so much, why don’t you call it quits, leave the franchise and only play on the Pokemon games that you love so much.
*sigh* there’s just no end to ignorance within fanbases nowadays.
No, because if I leave then they fucking win, they only way for this to get better is either to get what I deserve or everyone gets their necks slit
I’m sick of just everything constantly going everyone else’s way
I’m officially in indignation mode
You just want your Red and Blue again, when you can get it in the eshop on your 3ds
No I want my GOD DAMN FREAKING GROUND/FIGHTING TYPE THAT HAS STUPIDLY HIGH ATTACK WITH GUTS IS THAT SUCH AN OUTRAGEOUS DEMAND
Hey hey! No need to be a Camerupt here!
You’ll get your Rugby Money. When the game comes out.
Are you not counting mega-altaria?
megas are no longer in Sun and Moon
One Waterfall flinch ruins the entire match
ALWAYS THE FUCKING JIRACHI
I WANT TO FUCKING TEAR THEIR HEADS OFF
THE FUCKING ASSHOLE HAD THE ABSOLUTE NERVE TO START CALLING OUT, OUTMATCHED, OUTSMARTED AND CONSTANTLY BELITTLING ME EVEN THOUGH HE WON BY ABSOLUTE CHEAPNESS
http://img08.deviantart.net/8810/i/2016/217/2/a/chinese_zodiac_animal_chart_fire_starters_pokemon__by_mimida21-dacqlzu.jpg
hmm maybe if they make other gens,it will be like this:
Gen8-Ox-Fire/Steel
Gen9-Snake-Fire/Poison
Gen10-Sheep-Fire/Electric
Gen11-Rabbit-Fire/Fairy
Gen12-Horse-Fire/Ground
No on the Fire/Electric Sheep we already have a fucking line dedicated to it
The Ox Fire/Ground
Rabbit Pure Fire
Maybe the Horse Fire/Steel a whole knight theme
And the rest can go to hell
hmm maybe You’re right,it should be like this:
Gen8-Ox-Fire/Ground
Gen9-Snake-Fire/Poison
Gen10-Sheep-Fire/Fairy
Gen11-Rabbit-Fire
Gen12-Horse-Fire/Steel
i want a rabbit fire starter.
Can we speculate on something? like will megas return or if they’ll be Post game thing.
-Morelull’s a new favorite, as I love mushrooms…the name clearly comes from morels and the type may be influenced by the fairy ring mushroom, but the shrooms on that one’s head resemble other species.
-Wishiwashi!! Not feeling wishy-washy about it; that one’s adorable. And hopefully sounds like John Ratzenberger in the schooling form.
-What a name for the sea cuke…XD
-I like the Team Skull girls (Plumeria & the pink-haired grunt.)
-I actually just might enjoy Alolan Meowth & Raichu more than their normal forms (except Team Rocket’s Meowth, of course…he’s Best Meowth forever.)
