I hope there’s a bald haircut option ?
I want a goatee 😉
Same. I shave mine x)
lol. #baldness. I doubt it, just use the shortest haircut!
Yeah and for those who have cancer 🙁
I have the oposite problem, the male haircuts are all too short.
Lol true
Favorite part of the trailer was the female trainer chucking Pikachu at it’s opponent lol
“Fly my dear friend, beat all the enemies that call you weak or cancer!” XD
so girls can wear make up now. I really hope boys trainers can customize more, x/y you can tell the girl trainers had more customization to them then the boys. im hoping this time around its a bit more balanced out
Exactly. Obviously males have more hairstyles and clothes this time around. Yet, no matter what; females will always have more options!
yes ik! but like i hope its not like noticeable like x/y was lol XD
yeah in XY the male trainers really only had like 4 options, just in a bunch of different colors, while the females had tons of unique outfits
I think that’s sexist.
They should follow Pokemon Rumble’s example and make all clothing ungendered.
(I’ll pretend it’s because I want a male wearing makeup and dresses, but really it’s because I’m sour that all the male haircuts are too short ; n 😉
or animal crossing new leaf
Forgot about that, it’s been ages since I played that since there wasn’t much left to do.
The haircuts in ACNL were too short too, I had to go around in a powdered wig.
oh? I honestly don’t remember the hairstyles in new leaf, but if sun/moon are anything like XY they will be catering to long hair, lol, we need better short hair options for guys but like, also some long ones too, the hairstyles in XY were all disgusting imo
i just really want a buzzcut for the guys tbh
I think we have one close to it.
yesss, and a cute fade, really my avatar is never me, usually just a representation of the guys I go for so cute short hair is necessary lol
To look like Phil Mitchell?
The longest male hair got in XY was this: http://img11.hostingpics.net/pics/75810309692be098ef11e3b1c4068eb5990048.jpg
That’s not long enough!
Females got all this wonderful range of long hair styles:

how to have fun in pokemon
step 1) choose the girl
Step 2: Convince other people you’re 18 and sexy
Step 3: Honey trap
Step 4: Reveal the truth
Step 5: LOL
step 5: 6-0 them and rob them blind
I had to look that one up.
You mean this?
http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=6.0%20%22The%20Gang%27
Should I take the risk and choose girl in Moon? Idk I really feel like choosing the girl this time around.
OMG Just as an FYI they’re doing a major update for Animal Crossing New Leaf soon. You’ll be able to ask any villager to live in your town so long as you have their amiibo card and new furniture too.
Aside from thatbut of info, I do wish the haircuts were options regardless of the gender, But that there were male long hair styles as well. Also the clothes etc.
I don’t do Amiibo.
Furniture might be interesting.
My town will be full of weeds and Rafflesias though.
The game never gave me enough storage space.
It would probably be easier to just cut out the gender specific stuff and make all options open to everyone. Then people could cosplay as the akatsuki or Penn Jillette and I’d get my long hair as desired 😛
That’s fair. When the new update arrives it will automatically clear out all the weeds in the town and a new area for campsite vans will appear somewhere (they haven’t said where exactly). The cards aren’t one time use only so if you know anyone that collects them you can ask if you can borrow just to get your favorite characters (there will be fifty new cards with never before seen villagers in New Leaf -from older games- will be on sale w new furniture in them).
In SunMoon I hope they have a few special hairstyles too that are unlockable (but It’s very doubtful).
Yeah you are right, my friend was especially excited to see the female characters have the options for sandles which she was hoping for since it was Hawaii and now wants a sundress and hat too XD Meanwhile I just want Khaki Cargo shorts with the option of a blue stripped Polo XD
The thing I like is you can wear contacts to make yourself an edgelord if you so choose
Chinese leaks are 100% legit so get ready for Dolphin and Ice/Ghost snowman!!! <3 <3
tfw they lied about those 2 only
They haven’t been revealed yet. so how is that lying?
it was a joke?
im saying they got alot right but they only made up those 2 because they felt like it
Lmao yeah sure they just happen to make up a Fighting type rugby monkey because felt like it. K den, whatever works for you pal
um idk why you think im serious, everything i just said is just me kidding around.
Chinese leaks said rugby monkey will be ground fighting.
I didn’t know how they gather these infos but it’s not truly accurate.
But it’s very very close
also the leak list. showed a football player
I doubt either of these evolve but if it did, I think could have a ground typing added.
Yeah they also said alola ninetales would be fire/fairy. not correct on the typing doesnt make the leak in general a lie
and this completely crushed my chances of a ground/fighting type
Leaks sometimes have false information, likely due to second-hand sources. If you believe these have just been coincidences, however, you’re wrong.
Maybe instead of a dolphin we’re getting a sea cow haha
MAYBE WE ARE GETTING SEA BEAR. TO THE CIRCLE!
But a fighting rugby monkey is also such a weird combo that you wonder how they got so close without inside knowledge
maybe GF changed them based on what the leak was telling us?
They really didn’t. That was pokejungle’s mix up. He should’ve have separated the leaks so people wouldn’t be confused by this.
Ice/Ghost is great for that Pokemon, it’s only been used for Froslass.
I’m loving the new apes! But if Oranguru’s new attack straight up allows it’s parter Pokémon to attack a second time, then it will dominate in vgc, unless it gets horrible stats. I’m glad trainer customization has been improved dramatically too. I’m just bummed out to see that I’m going to have to transfer my Rockruff to Pokémon Sun, evolve him/her to Lycanroc and then transfer him/her back to my Moon version.
I’m pretty bummed the online battles/ tournaments/ battle maison style battles use a boring background AGAIN. I want it to be like colosseum!
Let’s hope they make secret power earthquake again so that unova deer pokemon can be useful
Cute isn’t it? http://i.4cdn.org/vp/1474377483293.png
I’m scared.
Not really.
#pokeballsoutforOranguru
Looks like a new version of Xatu in some way, as it’s built around meditation. I love this guy.
the leaf never lies
I like it’s design and Normal/Psychic-type compo one of the best in battle but I thought Komala evo will have this compo by the way I definitely choose one of them, and yeah like u I meditation concept and again I thought Komala evo will have this concept.
Komala is probably going to stay normal or become part Fighting.
It’s a Sage pokemon.
Just planning ahead, I’ll trade somebody a passimion for a oranguru.
Only if im allowed to nickname the oranguru #PokeballsOut
Only with a lowercase p haha but whatever you want, he brist seems a lot better in my humble opinion
I’m sad Oranguru isn’t called Orambe
I’m happy. That’s a meme that needs to die
It’s already dead
Well…Harambe was a silverback Gorilla…not an orangutan.
Hence ‘Orambe’ not ‘Harambe’
Well that’s just nonsensical. If you’re going to do an homage, it needs to be what Harambe was, not a hybrid.
It’s not supposed to be serious
Well tbh I don’t really find Harambe jokes all that funny. I volunteer at the Cincinnati zoo.
“Lycanroc obeys its Trainer’s orders dutifully. In particular, if a Trainer accepted it during its more rebellious pre-Evolution period, Lycanroc will never ever betray that Trainer and will be the most loyal of partners” (Midday Form)
I am crying, this sounds so much like my dog. I am so glad that Rockruff will be in my team in Sun and it will evolve into it, as I had planned to name it after my dog.
Mine passed away earlier this year 🙁 His name was Lobão which means Big Wolf in Portuguese
Like I said above, I feel you. D:
Had to put mine down in January. Lycanroc will be a perfect tribute.
Mine had to be put down this year as well D: I knew the minute I saw Rockruff, it would be on my team and be named after him. I also am planning to get Litten and name it after my cat who is still here.
I was planning on getting Litten and name it after my fave cat but then it went on steroids :/ My cat is female and small
Same, but I’m definitely hoping for split evos. That way, maybe the other one will be more like her.
I’m praying for that too
Lycanroc’s attack animation felt stunted and didn’t look like his limbs moved at all. Hoping that’s not final.
It’s likely for that specific attack. Don’t worry!
Lol these games are so perfect that there’s just minutia to nitpick.
Anyone else like me kinda hope Pessimion can learn the move Fling?
Better learn tackle too…
Giga Impact?
Even better!
Lol Super Bowl 2k17 move set:
Bulk Up
Fling
Low Kick
Giga Impact
X’D
I’m not running for president, but I approve this message
I think it used it in the trailer
He can, used it against Hypno and it was super effective
lets hope it flings just the coconut *shivers*
O.o I hope you don’t mean Alolan Exeggcutor…..
Hey, that’s a funny idea for an anime episode XD
Alolan Exeggutor: “Stop throwing my heads you damn lemur!”
Poo?
Please tell me the PSS will return! I really liked it and I don’t think they should remove it.
They probably will with Wonder Trading. I mean the brought back Pokemon Amie abet with a new name and features.
I can’t see that Japanese trailer.
You know what is funny ? The word “Pica/Pika” here in Brazil is simillar to “weiner” on the USA… Which means that Pikachu just got a catastrophical weiner, lmao
Omg xDD
I cringe at the beginning of each video: “PI-CA!”
Good to see brazilians here. 🙂 And yes, worst Z Move name so far. Almost a name of a funk song. lol
Normal types seems to be getting alot of love this time around
I agree! I wish they would do same with Ice types.
So many upvotes I want to give
I know, it’s awful.
Sorry to spam, but I just saw that refresh can cure status conditions. Could amie do that? SO COOL!
Pokémon Refresh allows trainers to take care of their
Pokémon after battle. Trainers can clean their Pokémon, pet them and
even cure status conditions.
It says it right up there.
You should read his comment more carefully.
Oh sorry I’m just not into using my brains today. xD
Amie could not in previous games so this is new and useful lol
56 Gen VII Pokemon so far (assuming: 3 more guardians + to be revealed: starter evos, Cutiefly evo, Pikipek evo)
10 Alolan Forms & 3 Ultra Beasts! 😀
Just for refs sakes, how much was reveal for XY before the games released?
been trying to research on that but i really dont have a solid answer haha
Hmm I feel it was a low number once Mega’s were revealed. If so I’ll assume we got more revealed this gen giving me hope that we may get 100 Pokemon which is a good number imo.
Guys, I saw a lot of hidden details like the Amie removing Paralysis, and even something new called Festival Coins in the trainer customization corner (does that mean we can’t use normal in game currency for cloths now?!?!?).
I’n not sure as I think it’s not clear yet, but my guess would be the that coins are for the dying of clothes and not actually buying them. I could be wrong, but I can’t see them keeping such a tight grip on the clothes.
I thought it was 3DS coins you could use as a substitute for money if you don’t have enough.
Hmmm interesting…could be I’ll have to double check to see.
No, on the corner in the traailer it says Festival Coins. Who knows what its for? I hope its not like in game DLC :s
GF has been pretty adamant about not wanting to make people play to get the full experience of anyone game so it’s unlikely they’d implement something like DLC where you’d have to buy coins or something.
True, but I would agree with libra where if these coins are obtained, maybe in that area where we do Hyper Training for Bottle Caps (another form of currency for SM) maybe we do get these as a way to use those coins. If so I saved up a lot for use with Spot Pass Games, so I walk a lot with my 3DS, so getting them seems like less of a hassle lol
And if you end up running out all you have to do is go for a walk lol
Which is good for me as I do jogging now before classes here as I’m 20 pounds over weight (for me at least).
I remember back in High School when HGSS was released and we got the PokeWalker, I used that thing abusively at gym time and even going from class to class. Racked up a lot of EXP for my team with the bonus of getting new areas and Pkm! I miss my Poke Walker, why it had to break T-T
I think it’s just money you get from doing the festival battle plu sthe island challenge. Hence the name ‘festival coins’.
If you could, I’d be swimming in it.
I hope so! I burned so much cash in X/Y for clothes. RIP my wallet.
True that, the Sushi shops helped me a lot with an Amulet Coin.
I mentioned it awhile ago, and someone brought up that in the Pyukumuku quest, we earn pokedollars. So we have both, and that possibly normal items are by dollar, and clothes and hair styles are festival coins.
Anyone got a gif of Pikachu getting lobbed into the air? lol
Starting to doubt Alolan Arcanine… Rf. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/b9a0f28c7dd5aee3835eb10c2ab6811384b2ddd0483284b6b1d31497eb83035c.png
Oh… wait…
could be gamefreak not trying to leak anything about that
its still part of the list with dragonite and snorlax
Then it would be way easier to just use a different pokemon
but it could be a hint in its own right aswell
still part of the “found in Alola list” on the japan website
maybe some alolan forms and some normal forms are found in the game together
no because it already said the only way to get old forms is too transfer.
man can’t you see that I want my dang alolan arcanine so stop crushing my dreams
we all have dreams. but reality always hit
Your an enemy to progress
hey i want my alolan seel. but i have my doubts
Give up already, gamefreak’s not going to go to that much trouble.
maybe it is all a lie and GF is trying to trick us
Too much effort, not enough reward. This is Gamefreak.
Owned by a trainer so means nothing
but they could of used any of the other 721 pokemon or even a alola pokemon lol
Ok aside from that look at the background!! I see a cactus!! lol
Probably on the western most island! 🙂
I’ve been resting easy for weeks.
We’ve seen loads of regular Arcanines.
Dark types r my favorite type but I am kinda happy that Midnight Form not turning to dark type ……cuz rock-dark is bad compo.
i wanted fighting
yeaaa there’s no alola arcanine…..iSad too ;__;
This is the list on the pokemon SuMo website.
http://i.imgur.com/2lCIGgY.png
maybe they have their own z-moves, idk, Snorlax, Pikachu and Eevee are there~
I’m glad someone is thinking sensibly.
Ok new theory: these are all Pokemon that exclusive Z moves! At least one of their family members do anyway lol
^ this. SO HA!
I can’t see Zubat or Spearow having an exclusive Z-move really.
Zubatman and Flock of Birds if the existing moves are anything to go by.
Zubat z-move is just spawning a bunch of them.
I’d be done if they did anything linking zubat to -hisses- Batman. Batman can be that POS woobat.
no because we’ve seen dragonite,pikachu,eevee,spearow,gyrados, and zubat in the wild in-game
That means they can’t have exclusive Z moves how? They might have been seen in the wild (sort of), but that really means nothing for the theory of them all getting Z moves that are specifically made for themselves.
well that could be a thing, but zubat and spearow out of all kanto pokemon getting a z-move?
for all we know they could add their evos later on. It may seem unlikely, but it’s not impossible.
its possible. but like jigglypuff should get one then where it draws on people faces. pokemon refresh is the only way to clean off
That would be pretty great actually hahaha
He said Z moves, not Alolan forms.
yea i read it like wrong
I had to double check myself hahaha
Gen 1 exclusive alola forms and z moves? No thank you.
It’s totally something they would do though…
Welcome to Gamefreak, we like Kanto and no other regions.
So like, a normal/psychic would be immune to ghost right? If so Oranguru is gunna be awesome to use, just have to worry about those pesky bug and dark types
Like Girafarig and Meloetta, yes Immune to Ghost. Also resists Fighting, so a double bonus.
Ive never owned a meloetta so I often forget about it, but I’m shocked at myself for forgetting Girafarig, its one of my favs, idk why I thought it was pure normal for a second there
Meloetta is super forgettable, imo.
only as much as most event pokemon, I usually forget about all the event ones from gen 4 and gen 5, I think the one I forget the most is Keldeo. I really want a melotta someday though I think its design is cute
Well its event is coming up, no?
December I think, after S/M release
idk, I thought I missed it
It’s 1 event a month, it’s not that hard to track. http://www.pokemon20.com/en-us/mythical.html
Meloetta is my favorite mythical Pokémon, tbh. Glad to see another Normal/Psychic!
mine is hoop (the normal form) but I don’t have one of those either :/
Yep, like Gallade, Medicham, Hoopa Unbound, Malamar and Mega Mewtwo X
Fighting isn’t immune to ghost?
Woops, wrong side of the table.
That explains a lot.
*Machamp faints in background*
Haha I was thinking a min there & was quite confused
Ghost can hit all the Pokemon ya listed
Ghost is a weird type.

4) Lycanroc Midday
5) Vikavolt
6) Oranguru

Left that out because it’s from a seperate leake that, while has some accuracy, also has some things that don’t exist, while the leak with the Dolphin and Snowman has been 100% so far.
