Today the Japanese Pokémon Sun & Moon official site updated and added Arcanine to the list of Pokémon featured from past generations, along with highlights such as Zubat and Psyduck. Up until this point, many fans have been going off the idea that these Pokémon would not be getting separate Alolan forms since some of them have already been seen as their past-selves in official trailers or pre-release materials. We’ve already seen many Zubats in Alola that are no different than the ones we’ve been seeing for the last twenty years.
Why is this a problem? Because several leaks which have included confirmed information that was not publicly known have also said that Arcanine will be getting a Water-type Alolan form.
Personally, I’m relishing this little plot twist because it gives us something to puzzle over before we get any official answers. Did the leakers add in fake Alolan forms? Will Alola be home to both regular and region-specific forms for the same Pokémon? Are some Alolan forms only accessible after certain conditions are met or even saved for post-game?
Keep these mysteries coming! Tell us what you think in the comments!!

I hope that the leaker is either lying or has really poor drawing skills, because what the fuck are these things?! They look disgusting! The female fire pig is bipedal (of course). Why can’t we for fucking once have a non-bipedal pig? And all of the information sounds very outlandish or fantasy-like and drawing them is usually a red flag to me. After the Rainbow Greninja leak, I’m not taking any stock into anything except if it comes from that Chinese leaker.
…poor drawing skills… what?
Yeah, I’m not buying them. At all. Not even slightly.
http://i.4cdn.org/vp/1472194677896.jpg
How is something with no legs bipedal?
Tripedal? If the sluggy part counts as a leg? Either way, it’s really ugly and I don’t understand the concept so hopefully that shit is fake.
Well I guess tripedal doesn’t make sense either.
Unipedial if it counts as a leg
Yeah, that’s what I was aiming for
I’m sorry, I was so distracted by the ugliness of the drawing, I didn’t realize that feature.
even if these are fake (which they probably are) thats actually really rude, someone put a lot of time and effort into these and I don’t think its right to say they are ugly because they are not, they are just not your taste
Well I can still appreciate the skill of the drawing, but I find the concept to be revolting to my eyes.
thats an all around better statement, I accept that
I also don’t see how the second one is a pig though. It gains a cow type muzzle and loses the pig ears. Who knows if it has a tail.
its pokemon, do you not remember when a piranha straight up evolved into a shark shaped like a bullet 😛
Yeah I know they do often do stuff like that, but this one just seems weird. Where’s the hair from? I don’t get it lol
Where the ears were.
well the first one has “pig”-tails lol so I guess it just grew out its hair and became a slice of pizza, lets be honest though even if these were real, pokemon can always look weird until they are seen in game
It was supposed to be made of lava
I’m aware I was making a joke 😛 , I have a bit of a dry sense of humour sorry
Nah it’s okay. It’s hard to read humor as text sometimes
Do we remember Remonraid to Octillery?
…yes… :I
Remoraid is a pistol and octillery is a canon
It’s more a fish that becomes an Octopus
Yeah this isn’t the worst design I’ve seen its good for an artist
Put effort into tricking people..
My inner artist wants to slap you for saying that, but everybody has their opinion.
My inner artists Agrees
All final Evos. Emboar, Grumpig, uhhhh that’s all I remember
only way to tell for sure is to pull its dress up. and i think thats a violation of privacy. gonna have to take its word for it
Have fun touching that dress.
I am not gonna lie I like this.
I just now realized, the head and hair of the evo resemble a volcano.
Hula Pig!

WOWZERS! I’ve seen some of them for the very first time. Land mine Turtonator pre-evo looks amazing! I like Lunatone/Solrock/Minior thing and very little change of appearance of starter evolutions according to your appearance… those ideas are brilliant and the drawing looks really good.
These are pretty phenomenal. Especially like the Lunatone and Solrock variants.
“Why can’t we have a non-bipedal pig?” Because of Porco Rosso?
And what is that about Pokémon forms resembling the protagonist’s hair? Is that Rockruff’s day-based counterpart?
That was the werewolf evo for Rockruff on the far left. The other two is Popps evo apparently gone through the Bond Phenomenon. Same for Weruff.
The trainer faces are awful.. I don’t think they are real.. Though I admit, Turtonator’s pre-evo is a pretty design.
I just noticed something, with the exception of Sandslash line all the Alola pokemon forms are types that are seen as special types and not physical and even then ice is still considered a special type, now I know that at this point nothing is really special or physical anymore but I just thought it was interesting, like we haven’t seen any types really in the alola forms that are commonly associated with physical.
I want more new physical attacks
Seriously the only new Ground and Rock moves are legend exclusive or borderline useless
Aren’t almost all ground and rock moves physical though? like yeah bring on more for sure but Id love to see more of both for types that are lacking, more physical ones for fairy, more special ones for fighting or like normal or some thing idk
Well I meant in general new physical attacks
And for ground and rock
All new ones Rototiller, Land’s wrath thousand wave/arrows are all for zygarde
And as for rock Diamond Storm
thats fair, rototiller is ok though I mean it can be breed into quite a few pokemon, but its really only handy if you breed it into a grass pokemon like paras or cacnea, otherwise why bother lol unless its on a grass team
reminds me of a delightfully racist joke i make based on it
honestly i love these just because rumors are fun. they were fun in High school and they’re fun now. obviously no leak is bible but I’m sketchy about this one just because of sandygast. would they make muk ground when thats pretty much Sandygast? the more alolan forms the better imo but i just hope Muk isn’t ground type like in that fan game, i forget which it was.
Do you remember something else about that fan game? Because I’m curious now.
like the guy above said, its called Pokemon Insurgence
It was Insurgence.
Well going back to my fill the Pokedex quest I need less than 100 I’ using my fair way of GTS meaning give off well trained strong Pokemon that I got from trade for one I need like Garchomp to get a Drowzee for example
Well what about Alolan Raichu? Pikachu evolves into that right? So what if Alolan evolving happens a certain way. Meaning we can have both.
Have you seen this?
https://twitter.com/NintendoFrance/status/769184681313132549
It says: “In your opinion, what will Litten, Popplio and Rowlet evolutions look like?”
Isn’t it strange? It’s Nintendo France after all…
Perhaps a hint that their first stage evolution’s are going to be the next update? Perhaps along side Rockruff’s evolution?
Very interesting…….I suppose it does make sense for them to talk about the starters as well if they are gonna start focusing on Rockruff. Due to them supposedly being connected and all lol
Attempting to SR for Shiny Cresselia..wish me luck.
Good luck 🙂
Good luck !
Good luck! I’ve been SR’ing for all the legends, would love to wrap them up before Sun and Moon come out xD
Good luck 🙂 SRing is a pain (looking at you Torchic *glares at my AS*)
Why are you people getting soooo confused over Alolan formes ?! Basically, it’s a way Nintendo and Game Freak found to make us buy Blue Red or Yellow from the eshop , along with an annual pokebank registration. Literally the first thing they said about SM is that they’ll be compatible via pokebank with the virtual console games. Alolan Arcanine is not being deconfirmed if the regular one appears on the site . They probably used all these Kanto pokemon to attract new players(like new *new* players) that got into the series thanks to Pokemon GO. Seeing a blue floating on water arcanine just after catching a regular one in go would confuse most of the newbies. I believe it will be revealed soon , along with all the infos this leaker gave us ( I think he only has access to a couple of videos when they are near official release)
Now I’ve never believed a rumor before , except for the final starter evolutions , just because i got so much popplio , rowlet and litten vibe from them , something only TPC can do , and I’m getting those vibes now too . So either the leaker is an extremely talented artist that has studied and copied the way pokemon are designed , or the leaks are real .
Aw man I’m still confused. Can you explain it again with fewer words please.
tl:dr its a way to make more money
Wasn’t Meowth shown in a previous trailer with its original looks?
That Meowth was brought to Alola along with the player and his/her mother.
so hurrahs are in order
i done finally got my gaming pc built and slowly downloading my many numerous clients and games
Elite mentality
Nothing quite match up to that feeling of accomplishment of building a gaming pc. Was it your first, or have you done it plenty of times before?
popped the cherry
Nice, Hope its going well for you.
the windows isn’t activating
the downloading process is hella scary
i haven’t used a PC in months
and right now i’m using a 20 year old keyboard and a 1×1 foot monitor
Did you get MS Paint?
Trick question, did you get a good OS is what I’m asking
Good for you? How does a pc relate to Pokemon Sun and Moon? Emulator?
Who’s cooler, Florges, Porygon-Z, or Serperior?
Florges for me. *loses manly points*
Florges and not just because I’m a fairy lover, I also love the porygon and serperior lines
I’m slightly leaning toward Florges. It’s Sp. Def is just phenomenal and I love the design. The only imperfect thing about it is that I personally believe it was destined to be a grass type. I’ve had the debate on here though so I don’t really want to get into it again haha
I mean I understand why people think that but there is a reason its not, but its not important, and yeah it can be quite the tank and its definitely fun to use, which colour would you use? 🙂
That’s a good question! My first Florges was white but I like the red a lot too.
Love all three of them tbh
Me too D: This is just for something fun though, I’m trying to think of what my ultimate team would be if I had to assemble one lol
Snivy is the only starter I use whenever I play gen 5. The other two are just very disappointing
I feel the same way..although I’m not sure I would use Serperior without contrary haha
I love all of them, but I’m leaning more towards Serperior, I love its design and it’s the first starter I comp breed for :3
Its design is so elegant 🙂 Definitely one of my favorite starters.
Krokorok
Elite Pokemon line tbh
no
this is a popularity contest
Krokorok has the whole bad boy thing
and everyone falls for the bad boy
Sandile line is elite. He’s just a hater
Krookodile is better, but I chose Garchomp and Honchkrow instead on this team
Porygon-Z for the Specs Adaptability Hyperbeam Nuke
True, that does sound formidable.
Porygon-Z all the way
I am drawn to the more robotic pokemon..Magnezone is on my team as well 🙂
twist of the century
Don’t hate
that’s like telling a squirrel not to fish
Pff I’m like your favorite person here, let’s be real
i have no favorites
everyone is equally terrible
Dang, I have failed my mission…
gg
Mhmm.. 😉
Sadly never used Florges. Definitely doing that on a future X playthrough
I’d def recommend.
I’m more a Porygon 2 type of person my self yet I say Serperior
I like Porygon 2’s design a lot too. But I’m not one to keep my pokemon unevolved.
True competitive normally use Legendaries or if unevolved an evolite
Stupid legends 😛
OMFG the Evoilite Porygon2s are SOOOOOO EFFING ANNOYING
I love em. Drop an eviolite on them and Ice beam and you are set
I use it but I don’t use evolite
Why?
I don’t think smart in competitive
and thats why you will fail
says the mono-ground user in OU
i’ll have you know i only use the Earthen Warriors in Monotype (which i’m taking an emotional sabatical)
i use a Fire mono for OU and a OU team which is mixed with OU and UU
but my other passion is NU and LC
I love LC. But why a mono team in OU? Doesn’t that give the opponet the upper hand?
they wouldn’t let me let char X in Mono hang on one sec
switching to ipad
Why? Charizard X is fire type. PS! can be dumb sometimes
Its banned from mono
Because of this
http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/ou-397090970
lol
that was too good
I even have this replay named
https://youtu.be/5cR-WiGKZtg
Charizard Y is WAY better from my experience.
I *GASP*… Finished *Gasp* my… SUMMER READING PAPERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
now TORCH THEM
ONLY SETTING THEM ABLAZE WILL FINALLY BE REPAID THOU RETRIBUTION FOR YOUR CEASELESS TORMENT
(My response at school)
Teacher: Where’s your work?!
Me: My Growlithe burned it!
you should’ve said “some maniac burnt them up”
and he/she’ll ask “what maniac?”
*I burst into the classroom with a flamethrower*
HAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA
*I Burn everything and everyone*
Hmm Good thing my friends aren’t in that class
(Yet my school already caught fire last year so they wouldn’t be very happy)
Here take a look…
here..here a little bit closer
you see all the !@#$s?
Should have mentioned you
So I decided to replay Platinum finally, and will do it with my preferred team, my favorite Pokemon/starter/leading lady since Yellow version, the Sinnoh starters (IMO Gen 4 had the best selection of starters since RBY), Staraptor (best regional flying type), and my favorite pseudo legendary, Garchomp! Can’t wait to finally go through it! And then I plan to FINALLY tackle Pokemon White 2 after letting it collect dust for almost 4 years (I kid you all not, its still in the shrink wrap!). Anyways, feel free to give me tips in Platinum, like natures and moves, if you want a detailed map of my team do ask 😉 Cheers!
My Staraptor just died in my Nuzlocke. :'( RIP Avery.
Oh btw, this playthrough is going awesome as I got a Shiny female Starly too! Neutral Nature however (serious), but she’s my first shiny so its all good 😉
Did you find it by chance?
I guess as I was looking for a Starly XD
Nice 🙂
Congrats! Were you searching or did you just get lucky?
I was searching and squealed when it showed up. I was happy when it was not a bad nature too! Best thing to happen since my Shiny Moltres in Fire Red XD
How long did it take you?
First try……first Shiny…..
Oh! xD Sorry, I misinterpreted it as you were hunting for a shiny.
Go Naive nature on an Infernape, you want no drops in Attack or Special Attack…
wait, are you using an infernape?
Well yes, I’ll take that into consideration. I heard Naughty is also good as has mostly physical attacks. Anyone know if Infernape can learn Fire Punch naturally or via tutor?
Egg move
Time to breed rush then XD
Well, Flamethrower on a Special Infernape is good too
Infernape is the only logical choice in PL/DP
Turtwig is my 2nd favorite pokemon. Fight me.
Hence I went all 3, I like Penguin’s, I loved the lore Infernape is based on, and Torterra is too epic XD
I got a shiny turtwig after 2500 or so MM eggs. I was so glad when I found it that I nearly cried. It took me like 3/4 of a year.
You should be jailed for life
But Turtwig is still cute
Let’s settle the score in showdown. 6 Turtwigs vs. 6 Infernapes.
What is this showdown?
http://pokemonshowdown.com/ Online pokemon battle simulator.
Put an eviolite on that baby!
I can’t bring myself to evolve my shiny turtwig, even though he is nearly perfectly bred for competitive battle.
The eviolite is good for turtwig. It is an item you give to a Pokemon and if the Pokemon can still evolve, it gets a boost to its defenses. No need to evolve
I know, that’s why I talked about evolution. xD
Shiny Torterra aint bad though
But it’s not as noticable as a shiny turtwig is to me. Also I like Turtwig more than torterra. If I did though, I would name it Aurum, or Gold Digger (cuz, you know, it’s a ground type? and its gold?)
I like Aurum 🙂
Platinum is amazing isn’t it? Anyway, I plan to do the same thing with playing White 2 again because of not playing it in a very long time.
I’m conflicted. On one hand, more arcanine love. On the other hand, the run the risk of ruining it, and if it is cool, it might become one of those pokemon that everyone loves so it becomes overrated. If that even makes any sense.
UGH I WANNA GO TO BED AND PLAY POKEMON
THEN DO BOTH, YOU HAVE COMPLETE CONTROL OVER WHAT YOU DO AND CHOOSE (unnecessary caps)
I talked about this before in some previous comments. I think it’s about 50/50 right now. GameFreak/Pokemon Company has already stated that you must use the older games to receive the non-Alolan forms of Pokemon. We’ve already seen a regular Arcanine in the trailer with Rockruff, so I feel that a Water-Type Alolan Arcanine may not happened. Yet, it might just be GameFreak using a placeholder, but I doubt it. Not everything from a leak will be correct, so it’s another wait and see situation.
I wouldn’t take trailer battle footage too seriously unless they were trainer battles. They literally add any pokemon they please in those battles. For all we know they only added Arcanine to make a battle of the dogs setting.
I’m just wondering how the GTS will work now
It’ll probaly just be: “Meowth” and then below it “Alola Meowth”. Or just mixed in like shinies.
For Alolan and non-Alolan Pokemon? It would just allow you to send both and search by Forms and Region so you could find the Alolan and Non-Alolan Forms.
I think one of the things we need to think about is the fact that you’d never find a wild Arcanine in the first place. It’s unlikely they’ll ever do that with or without Alolan forms. So the fact that we saw one in a trailer is almost meaningless to some degree. I’d say no matter what it’s obviously a placeholder. lol
Since everyone moved pages, I wanted to post this on the last page with the leaks. I absolutely love the artwork, but I cannot shrug the feeling that this is just some fan-artist going into the realm of fake leaks. His/her art is outstandingly good, I especially love the Alolan Arcanine. Yet, so many things contradict with the Chinese Leaker or is just pulled from the “Rainbow Greninja” rumour that was already proven false. Right now, the only leaks I believe are the Chinese Leaker and no one else. I guess it’s a temporary wait and see till early September to validate it. In the next CoroCoro we will be seeing Rockruff’s evolution, we could judge from there forward.
Wait, where did they move pages to?
H. . here. ._.
Ooo I understand what Libra’s saying now lol
I agree. Honestly what are the chance that a leaker so happens to be a good artist as well?
This right here is my largest issue. They say it’s all from their head, but what are the odds of having a leaker that could produce some great images. For right now, I already feel like calling it fake.
Not only that, art like that takes time, and as far as I know, as soon as people asked for pictures, the leaker posted them soon.
Well to be honest the whole “Pics or it’s not real” thing has been around for a while. They could have anticipated people wanting art and just had them ready. Either way the art being readily available doesn’t really make me lean one way or the other lol
I don’t believe you. pics or gtfo.
Here’s a new Pokemon!
The manliest thing I’ve ever seen
Beautiful
That’s a Doduo with Geodude’s arms.
Um……..no duh………lol
Wait, what part of the art contradicted the chinese leak?
I hope this leak is fake. The evolution of the pig Pokemon is not quadrupedal and looks ugly as fucking all get out. With the all the rumors going around as of late and as we near the peak of Sun and Moon’s release, I agree. The only one I believe completely is the Chinese leak. With all the drama in the past several “leaks” that ended up being false, the most recent being that of the “Rainbow Greninja” leak and the 4chan Dex leak of 103 Pokemon, I’m not taking any chances or putting any stock into this at all, unless we are told otherwise. Won’t have to wait long as September is around the corner. Usually, the indicators for me for fake text leaks are the ones with outlandish ideas or fantasy ideas (stuff that everyone usually wants) to make the leak more convincing. Drawing the Pokemon is also a red flag, at least to me. But I guess we’ll have to wait likely until September 1st.
Why are you so scorn over one pokemon. Even if one’s fake you’re bound to hate another. So why wish a whole thing was fake over one pokemon?
I see some discussion about how and why Alolan Arcanine would be water type. I also have seen a lot of disdain for Alolan forms that don’t offer a *subjectively “satisfactory” explanation for their changes. So as a lover of all things science, biology and evolutionary study included, I’d like to offer a reason.
First and foremost this is a children’s game designed for people who are 8 and up. But as there are fans that have older tastes and a desire for deeper lore and world building there’s more to it.
Within our understanding of evolution there are cases of animals evolving certain adaptations that on the surface seem entirely implausible. For example; all life started in the oceans if leading elvelutionary theory is to be believed, as such it makes little worlds sense for the fish that first started to move to land to develop lungs. And I mean it makes little sense in the “it shouldn’t have been possible considering they would die before being able to reproduce” sort of way.
However if you factor in that this process took millions of years it becomes more plausible. another thing you must consider is that the animal that first walked on land and the one that swam in the sea are still connected by DNA. So imagine, an original Arcanine… One that was not water OR FIRE. We could assume it was normal type. This Arcanine species evolved to become the fire type of many many years. However in select regions (like Alola) these same pre-fire type Arcanine evolved adaptations to be diferent types, like water type in Alola instead.
This theory could further be supported by the fact that within the Pokemon world Normal type Pokemon are the second most common type. They are second only to water which also makes sense if in the Pokemon world life started in the oceans as well.
This would mean that every single Pokemon on land started out as the normal type and other types evolved from adaptation. Just as all animals on earth started out walking on land and over time evolved other means of transportation, (i.e burrowing, slithering, climbing, hopping, and flying)
As for Alolan raichu’s psychic typing, we don’t really know how humans evolved consciousness either. And the theories we’ve come up with to explain it are honestly just as silly
tl:dr for those who don’t read:
Pokemon adapting could be like real evolution. As it took millions of years for fish to go to land and get lungs. So all land Pokemon started as normal types, then they adapted to the region in which they lived. So normal Arcanine branched into Water and Fire Acrcanine
Hopefully I got that right
Earthen punch reading!!!
You got it right lol
I have been thinking along the same lines since the Alolan forms were first announced.
I mentioned something about how a single species separated geographically will eventually evolve into two separate distinct species. Albeit over millions years. And this is the only way Alolan forms make sense to me.
I can’t accept that the Alolan forms were orginally the Gen 1 Pokemon, but I can accept that they and the Gen 1 Pokemon had a common ancestor, and due to geographical separation they evolved differently.
Great explanation, I noticed a lot of people on the site that hated the alola forms because they didn’t make any sense scientifically couldnt really think outside of the box at all, its a trait that I see in many science students and it makes me sad because if you believe the breakthroughs we have had in science up until now are 100% explained and true you’ll never achieve any new breakthroughs, its why I think all science majors should have to take a mandatory philosophy of science course, because without it they are not really using their minds to think beyond what we have already learned, just taking what we already know and running with it. So in a sense for those people, don’t complain about how the alola forms don’t make sense just because you’re stuck in a certain way of thinking. 🙂
This is literally exactly how I feel about about science. While I love learning things in science I never really take them as complete fact. Most are theories. For example although we teach it in schools and everything technically evolution is a theory. It has all kinds of evidence but there are also parts to it that can’t be explained, like the consciousness example I stated earlier. And with a more open and flexible mindset science really is amazing and so much fun. Just thinking about all the possibilities! 😀
I just tell people, “Two words: Galapagos Finches” and, barring the ones who then ask for an explanation, that usually shuts them up. That’s a great intricate explanation though.
I was inititially going to just say Galapagos Finches actually lol. especially since their island setting matches Alola’s. But then thought that some people might need a deeper explanation.
I’m literally weak with how good Pokémon is right now. I know some of you watch it, but if you don’t DO. You will not regret this. The latest episode is just incredible.
Team Flare is actually the best villanous team ever. It feels like a much more mature anime, with the themes of death and destruction.
By GOD its good. Each week I look forward to it more than the last ?
That awkward moment when the anime makes Team Flare better than the game can.
Oh most definitely. Weakest by far in game. Best in anime 😀
Maybe I’ll get to it someday. I’m currently trying to watch the entire series (am skipping Unova) because they’re releasing all the seasons on DVD every couple months 🙂
That’s cool ! I wish we got the DVDs here. I have the originals on DVD up to but not including johto. That’s certainly going to be some good viewing time for you haha 🙂
It is! There’s some adult jokes in the early seasons haha. Plus it’s nice to be reminded why I love Misty 🙂
I know it’s great haha 😀 they have some really classic lines in it ?
It’s just so cheesy and wacky, I love it lol
I do miss the old humour , the 90s was the best. They can’t do anything like that now :
Definitely not. There were actually a lot of guns in the first season, and I don’t think they’d get away with that today
Yeah ! The episode called “Ghost of Maidens Peak” if I recall has some mad stuff. Great lines, by jessie and Misty over the Gastly tricking James and Brock and them falling in love with it haha. Then we have the classic monster Venustoise and the real animals like a mongoose. I miss those silly but fun moments. 🙂
Yeah, they could.
I can guarantee you’ll enjoy the 5 regions, a little tip is to watch XY and XYZ in Japanese, it’s a lot better
So true lol
I’m sticking with the English dub. sometime I’ll watch anime in both dubs, but Pokemon is close enough I really don’t care lol
That’s cool ! Its something to look forward to anyway 🙂
Did you see the preview for next week? Looks like Ash-Greninja will again tap into new form of power. Why couldnt they do this last week?
Because the anime likes making Ash trip when it matters.
Oh no I missed that I’ll defo check it out now 😀
Well if it’s any consolation this is the highest ash has placed in a league not including Orange island lol. Perhaps he’ll actually win the league in Alola and we can finally move on to a new protagonist in the next generation
While I do hate the XY series for making Ash lose in his best time, this arc seems promising and worth the wait.
It is very good 🙂 if your waiting to watch Its its certainly something to look forward to 🙂
Oh I already have watched the episode, and it looks cool. I like how they are hinting at the Gym Leaders and everyone else important will play a role
Yes ! That’s my favourite thing. I hope it is like BW story when they come in to “save” the day. The idea behind it is very cool haha.
You know when you think about it BW and XY’s amines and games are flipped lol. BW had a dissapointing anime but great games, while XY had slightly dissapointing games but a awesome anime
I’ve been really thinking about this lately too! Suppose Sun and Moon rectify this by giving us both a good game plot AND a good anime 😀
Preach haha 😀
Hopefully, I don’t want any “Ash’s Pikachu looses to a Level 1 Grubbin”. But as for the game so far it looks great, save for Bewear and Bruxish.
Good point actually 🙂 BW really disappointed me and the league. My God. I was in disbelief when I was watching it. It was like a slow motion car wreck haha.
I was angry but laughing at that battle Ash lost in the League. He placed a Oshawott against a pseudo-legendary and lost to a newly evolved Lucario, like just evolve yer mons for the love of Pokemon!
I know. I really thought he was going to at least get Emboar. But nope haha. My favourite thing about it all was just the 5v6 it was just so outrageous and even more so to have him lose haha? Thank God that times passed lol
Amen to that, now he’s got a badass water ninja frog capable of making a giant orange shruiken 3-4 times his height, a Luchador bird capable of wrecking megas and kicking the shit out of Heliolisks, a Wyvern bat that is almost even with the legendary of a storm and can blast sound waves, a slimy, but tank af dragon that makes bide seem OP, a fire falcon that was almost on par with a legendary phionex and was the ace in Ash’s gyms, and an electric, eternal rodent that not only redeemed itself for the monstrosity that was the Unova League, but also able to take out 2 pseudos and inflicting damage on a plot armor Charizard
I liked XY more than Black and White.
Oh ok, that’s perfectly fine. XY seemed a little lackluster compared to what BW gave us in my opinion, but still a great game.
I haven’t really watched the anime since some of the Diamond/Pearl series. But I couldn’t wait to watch the Team Flare arc after seeing the coming attractions of it. And after watching yesterday’s episode, even tho I couldn’t understand a word, I was just left thinking, WHERE WAS THIS IN THE GAMES THIS IS SO COOL xD
Too right haha ! It is great. I hope more people tune in now as they are really trying to make it better 😀
For those still salty over last week, this should help: http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=UhYvSrBClOo
It’s weird on the Japanese website how they show the pre-evolutions for some on the as the main thing. For example subway and dragonite. Why not crobat as the main one. Also spearow, why not fearow
subway *applause!
1: The shown ones are not the main ones.
2: The last evo is not always the main one.
3: What is even clarified as the main one?
Let me give you guys my two cents. Arcanine being on the site doesn’t prove or disprove anything. Wanna know why? Cause no way Arcanine is going to appear in the wild. Pokemon evolutions that evolve via stone usually don’t. Only reason we saw it the trailer was because it’s a formatted battle. It held no importance. Same goes for many other battles in the trailers where random fully evolved pokemon were in the most weirdest areas. So my guess is them appearing on the site is just something to kill time by pointing out pokemon that have appeared in trailers. Hence why they say “they appeared” on the japanese twitter instead of appeared in Alola. Guarantee you Gengar line and Primape line are going to appear on the site next.
Furthermore, the Arcanine that appeared was lvl 20 (iirc). Now I’m not saying it’s impossible for a wild Arcanine to appear, but if it did, there’s no way it’d be lvl 20. Hence, we can conclude that (as you said), it was a formatted battle.
Hello PJ ppl …could u help to fix text to look more like writing by native english speaker?….I mean the grammar u can change the sentence if u want.
Dex entry:” due to it can’t trust by itself turns it to become very offensive, Burnien likes to win against these pokemons which super effective against it, Burnien produce flame from the spot on its paw.
Burnien can cause an explosive impact by using its flammable thrust .”
Any volunteers?
Due to it not being able to trust itself, it becomes very offensive. Burnien likes to wins against pokemon super effective against itself. It produces flames from the spot on its paw.
Burnien can cause explosive impacts by using its flammable thrust
Ty very much.
likes to win*
the spot on the paw should called something?
Maybe just pad? As in paw pad. So “produces flames from the pad on it’s paw” could work.
“Due to it not being” sounds weird, I would replace it with “Because it cannot.” The “it” that comes after the comma should be Burnien, otherwise it refers to nothing.

Or “due to its inability”
Y not ” due to can’t” ?
That’s grammatically incorrect. 😛
u shouldn’t joke about grammar with me …..is this true?
Why would I be joking? Yeah it’s incorrect. I don’t know the exact reason why, I’m not a grammar teacher.
“Due to” is usually followed by a nominal phrase (i.e., when the phrase contains modifiers that act on a noun at the end). For this reason, verbs following “Due to” must be in the gerund (ending in -ing) form.
For example:
Due to being…
Due to having…
Due to the global crisis… (this is a nominal phrase)
In your case, the verb is “Can” (as a negative), which has no proper gerund (it would be canning, but that’s something else), so the verb has to be changed. As @silverriolualpha:disqus said, it is grammatically incorrect.
I just hate to start with Because.
You know, didn’t they say that GO would be compatible with Sun and Moon as well. That could also be another way to transfer older non-Alola Pokemon in S/M, without buying another game
GF is kind of a sell-out… they wouldn’t do that. They would make you buy XY or RBY for 3DS
45 minutes until ludum dare so here is a fun question. What mechanic would you add to pokemon that hasn’t been in any previous games?
What’s Ludum Dare?

A weekend long game jam. Basically you make a game based around the theme
Theme is Ancient Technology.. any ideas?
Oh geez, that’s a tough one
I’m making animations and sprites and stuff for a game where you explore a cave for an ancient artifact. Was kinda hoping for a different theme but I’ll roll with it
That theme…. sucks 🙁
Yeah. There were so many good ones. I had an idea for all of them and really like alot. This one… ehh really doesn’t present alot of interesting mechanics
rf for my first night’s work (gif)
I’d play it. I wanna jump around and shoot black dots
Make sure you keep us updated too. I wanna see your progress 🙂
I’ll start posting updates on my tumblr. It’s in my bio. 😛
Yeah. I’ve seen it.
Well, I’d want the skateboard that was originally gonna be in GS.
I have an idea for a game tho. I actually feel like a game like the anime would be cool.
Let me explain.
You start out like a regular game, but Pokemon don’t appear in tall grass. They appear anywhere. They could just be walking through and you could talk to it (ya’ know, Clicking A) and battle and catch it. The battles would look just like a Sun and Moon battle, no circles. It would be like real life. Some Pokemon are very rare to find, and you can go to any city you want to and challenge the gyms in no order. The gym leaders would have different levelled Pokemon depending on what number leader they are that you challenge. There will be an Elite Four tho. Also, you can choose two NPCs you meet along your journey to join you. There are a select amount though, once you help them or beat them in battle, they’ll ask you if they could join. And stuff like that. What do you think?
