  2. oh I just thought of something: If I go to the midnight release to get moon, and its daytime in the game due to the time difference, which rockruff evolution will I get?

    • It depends on which info is correct, version exclusive or time based evo, I lean towards the latter. If that’s the case and if you can evolve it within those 12 hours you’ll get Midday I think.

      • cool. I plan on binge playing it but if the starters evolve like rockruff I may have to adjust my clock to prevent litten from turning into…. that THING….

          • Do people really think the STARTERS (of all Pokemon) will have split evolutions? It just seems highly unlikely. Nothing like that has ever happened with starters before and for marketing purposes I think they’d want to stick with one definitive evolution. I’m actually really surprised at how many of you are rooting for this to happen.

          • Its really not much of a stretch. We know thatr the starters and Rockruff held some sort of secret, and given the split evolution is the most unique thing yet revealed of the little pup, it seems the safest to assume.

            As well, never use the excuse that “it hasn’t happened before” is saying it can’t happen. Every generation they introduce new concepts, sometimes completely out of left field like Mega evolution, and if you had told people before their reveal that they were happening, you know people would say that it seemed to crazy to be true. Let us wait and see what Game freak has planned.

          • I’m just curious of the whole Rockruff and starters connection; that may be where the split evolutions stemmed from.

          • I’m not, I’m remaining cautiously indifferent. I don’t think it will happen, but I don’t think I’ll necessarily hate it if it does.

          • well since they aren’t split evolutions it seems possible. also, because they are making the game they can make it happen, no one but them can say for sure just yet. So yeah, i’d say its definitely a possibility.

    • It doesn’t matter when you get the game. All that matters is what is actually true. Until we have confirmation one way or the other it’s still up in the air, but it’ll be one of two things. It’ll either be a version exclusive where Rockruff only evolves at one particular time of the day (in game), in Moon it would be at night (in game) making it the evil looking one or it’ll be the time of day you evolve it at. The second option meaning that if you evolve it during the day (in game) it’ll evolve into the midday form or if you evolve it at night(in game) it’ll evolve into the midnight form. either way it doesn’t matter when you buy the game. All that matters is which the way it evolves and at this point CoroCoro wasn’t really all that clear. To be honest I think it’s the latter and it’s less of a version exclusive thing and more of a day and night thing. lol

      • yeah I know, it will be midnight when I play the game, so it will be day ingame. if that litten evo is day time (and this day/night form thing for the starters is true) I will need to change the clock to noon (so it will be night)

  3. One of the animators for X/Y recently drew two pictures of Ash in two styles; one in X/Y and one in S/M. Rumors are also surfacing that the animation department had another major overhaul and that a different team will be animating S/M (possibly the ones who animate(d) Yokai Watch).

    Reply

    • the advantage that I see with this style is that they will be able to use less repetitive movements since its a more simple approach. Honestly I’m digging the new animation style. unfortunately I am one of many that want to see Ash grow up I mean DBZ, Bleach, Naruto they have all grown time actually passes thru the seasons and the growth of the character. its been around for years. If they’re not going to age Ash then just change the character have a new Pikachu for each

  9. When you return from 10 days in the jungle away from civilisation only to discover the weirdest reveals ever… Seriously these new pokémon and Ultra Beast thingies are exactly the sort of confused clusterf*cks my brain comes up with when I dream of new pokémon. I legitimately wondered if I wasn’t dreaming when I first saw them.

    Type null is a pretty cool idea and it’s design and name are interesting, I’m confused as to wether it’s legendary or not since it seems unique but simultaneously is owned by Gladion (who’s theme is AMAZING).
    Jangmo’o is solid, excited to see it’s evolutions, though I’m personally gonna bet it’s actually not the pseudo, and turns out more like axew.

    The aether foundation’s designs are amazing, though like many others I’m suspecting they’re not entirely what they seem and probably have something to do with the Ultra Beasts (wonder where their creation of Type: Null fits into this). It’d be great to finally have a female evil team leader.

    Happy to see more returning characters like Sina and Dexio, and the Alola form of Prof Oak is an amazing idea, the of this sort of thing we get, the more I feel Sun and Moon are an amazing celebration of the franchise.

    I’m liking what we’ve seen of the Zygarde quest, though I’m very curious to see how they explain what a Kalos legendary is doing in Alola.

    Poké snaps looks like a very cool feature, it’s nice getting a bit of Snap back into the franchise after so long

    I like how they’ve implemented the version time difference, it’s simple, logical, and effective.

    Ultra Beasts however I’m not sure what to think of. UB1’s design is pretty cool but is a bit elaborate to be pokémony, and both UB2’s have completely un-pokémon-like designs, that I feel clash with the style in a bad way. The sort of superhero/mech/human/anime character look the UB2s give off really isn’t a direction I want pokémon designs to go anywhere near. I’m supposing/hoping they’ll just be story-exclusive uncatchable bosses and not actual pokémon, akin to pokéwood, but I’ve got a creeping feeling these may be catchable and usable, and accepting these as pokémon is going to necessitate a lot of getting used to for me.
    I’m really not sure we needed these, and I wonder what game freak was on when they thought of them. That said, I’m curious to see their place in the story, especially the whole thing with portals, which could have tantalising implications for the fanchise lore.

    As for Pokémon Generations, THIS IS AMAZING! The animation style is kinda weird, I wish they hadn’t veered that far away from the traditional style, but these seem like an amazing celebration of the franchise, and I can’t wait to see more of them. I also hope we do get surprise reveals for the new games in some episodes, like back in origins.

    • I wouldn’t worry about the UB designs. they aren’t from the pokemon univers, as you can tell they come from a dimensional rift, I also have a feeling they will be more “boss monster” and probably unobtainable.

  11. I felt like making a wasp fakemon so…what do you think?

    WASPUIP
    The Control Pokemon
    Type: Bug/Psychic
    Description:
    “Waspuip’s structure is very feeble, making the Pokemon very weak physically. To compensate for this, Waspuip use chewed up dead leaves and plants, and scraps of wood to craft a basic hollow puppet. Waspuip would use psychic powers and act as a control to manipulate the puppet into a fighter, as a way for self-defense. The puppet also has other uses for Waspuip, such as storing food and treasure and acting as shelter for rest and rain. If this puppet is majorly damaged or destroyed, a strong sense of anger will overcome it and will proceed to chase the assailant and sting them. These stings aren’t very painful, although they leave a mystical residue that has the potential to be lethal if untreated.”

        • I was thinking it could be a 1 hit-KO move for Rock or Ghost, petrify having dual meanings.
          Or perhaps it negates the move and sharply lowers speed or something. Like a combination of Fake Out and Scary Face maybe. It would be a signature move.

          Reply

        • Yeah, that was why I didn’t suggest it would paralyze, I think this ‘mon would also learn Glare though. It depends if it was a combination of Gorgon and Naga but Coil is another Serpentine move it could learn.

  18. Guys I just realized what Salandit is based in its a Fire bellied Newt cause think it’s poisonous and the word Fire it makes perfect sense

  22. I just realized something can we have main Legendaries that actually have more than color in common with a gem related Versions like

    Ruby- Groundon (only color red in common)
    Sapphire- Kyogre (only color blue in common)
    Emerald- Rayquaza (only green in common)
    And this goes for Gen 2- Gen 4

    If a Peridot and opal versions come out make them related back to the Gem and not just its color!!
