My friend noticed nail polish on the table in the trainer customization for the girl and wonders since XY had a heavy emphasis on it with the female characters and with the models being full, will the female character be allowed make up or even nail color. Could be a nice detail. I’m still hoping for a Blue Polo XD
The females are shown to be wearing lipstick if u look closely
Oh yes you are right, the girl with white hair has lipstick. So maybe girls get make up options and I hope guys get cool accessories like fingerless gloves or maybe a Shark tooth necklace!
they should just do it like they did in animal crossing new leaf, everyone can wear anything
I hope males get it too.
Cue people cosplaying as Pain from Naruto.
“Catastropika”….
Just when I thought they couldn’t do worse than Pulverising Pancake…
I thought the move was the Macarena and chicken dance
The Pikarena!
wait.. you guys.. the leakers who drew a ton..
Rockruff evo Does have a cross on its chest when extended..
Thats not justa random guess…. the art was off but not too much now that you think about it.. hmm
wait can you link me to the sketches?? i dont think ive seen em
no i never saved it
You mean Artleaka, who drew the fire pig & water Arcanine etc? He admitted all of those were fake
Chinese leaker strikes again! Rugby Monkey down! Snowman Pokemon is the only one left I believe on his list? Probably be revealed on the 4th I bet.
Snowman and Dolphin.
Ah, that’s right. I forgot about the dolphin.
and alolan arcanine confirmed basically
We saw regular Butterfree and Arcanine though. As much as I’d love Alolan forms more, people are going to use those to debunk what they can of the leaker.
I didn’t mean the Riddler, I meant the original Chinese leaker.
That’s the one I’m talking about too, unless I’m mistaken. Isn’t the Chinese leaker the one who leaked the Alolan Arcanine and Butterfree?
Nah that was a subsequent leak that corroborated the original Chinese leaks, but wasn’t the same person iirc. they did get some stuff right like Oricorio and the general idea of Alolan forms, but it’s possible there was some fake stuff thrown in for good measure. we”l have ot wait and see what’s real and what’s fake though lol
The Chinese rumour didn’t mention Alolan forms
Dolphin as well is still out there somewhere lol
In before Marshadow is our Dolphin Pokemon and is the third legendary for Sun and Moon.
Wasn’t there another rumor that said Marshadow is a dolphin? lol
I FOUND THE ORIGINS OF THE PIKA- Z-MOVE WTF 0:28
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WDrr1nki5Ic
gamefreaks are sneaky bastards
LOL HOLY SHIT
…..
I’m just asking, but did you seriously scour YouTube to try and find where the Z-move dance came from? xD
no…maybe i just watched this before. its catchy
smh
this would be the best exercise video, I want to exercise with two pikachus
Who wouldn’t?!
I remember watching this.
And to think I regretted it originally.
Man, I love the monkey/ape designs of the Pokemon. The customization is awesome and exclusive evolution forms is kind of disappointing but whatevs. Day form it is!
Football monkey confirmed
Rugby
Football>Rugby
Which football?
American.
no
I’m talking American football… Not soccer
No. Rugby players are hotter
Well, football players (I’m talking American football) tend to be more fat than muscle.
slow poke z-move anyone?
http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-s-JxH1jJTPY/VgwtlcdrT-I/AAAAAAAABlI/OXT2MuFeoaw/s1600/mycdra1pvbbjjicxfduc.gif
No not the slowpoke centipede!
I……..can’t……….stop………looking……….
its my desktop
did you know they made a 3DS theme of the slowpoke song….. I bought it
who didnt.
Slop-ouroboros!
still no starter evo’s :S…
I’m using both of those monkeys. They’re awesome. I’ll probably only use Lycanroc’s Sun form and save the Moon form for that Misc team I revise and make once every new installment since Gen 4.
Just gonna through this out here (and praying Ditto is in Sun and Moon, oh pls) if some kind soul will be kind enough to breed a Popplio and Litten and trade the eggs to me when Sun and Moon are released?
Oranguro move is insane. Think of it with MKanga…God! Glad I’m getting Moon at the moment.
LOL i just thought of that holy shit
Yup still happy I preordered Moon
This is awesome
I Love the football monkey.. but i can’t use it if its only good for doubles ; /
Protean it
Glad that customization doesn’t use pokedollars. It kinda sucked having to spend money on clothes instead of items in order to look good.
I think the most interesting thing about Oranguru is it’s new move called instruct. If it was just a move that forces the target to use the move again next turn I’d be less interested, but since the Pokemon uses the move immediately that’s huge. that could mean a Powerful attack could be sent out twice in one turn and completely decimate the opponents lol
or you know
double spikes
or double swords dance/quiver dance
Double Dragon Dance. 0.0
sheer force life orb feraligatr with double dd
shit
Powerup Punch x2
Skill Link + Pin Missile x2 = 10 hits!
So wat the different between Encore and Instruct? …they r the same for me.
I think with instruct the pkm can reused the same attack in the same turn
Hmmm…did u mean instruct effect just stay for one turn…..make sense but I didn’t know this would be competitive in battle.
Competitive in Battle? Have you idea of what could it mean to bit hit two times in the same turn from a MegaMawile or MegaKanga (that would hit 3 or even 4 times in the same turn) or Mega Mewtwo? Azumarill can destroy 350 pokemon with two aqua jet. That move is insane. Can even double stats boost.
Skill Link + 5 hit move + Instruct = 10 hits
hey wait did u mean the targeted pkmn can attack twice at the same turn ?? I thought it’s like encore.
the same move is used immediately after
I’m thrilled that I was close in guessing Lycanrock’s English name all those months ago, but I still prefer my Lycanthrock. I think the ‘th’ blends into the ‘rock’ better than it does without.
I guessed it would contain ‘lycan’, there was no way they’d pass that up.
One person was suggeting fenrir or something.
I saw Wereruff tossed around, but I personally did not like the sound of that one.
Same, too obvious.
I hope Ditto is catchable in the wild, as well as breeding being given early. Would love to breed a Litten and Popplio egg in Moon and send them over to my Sun game. Otherwise I’ll be here asking for someone to trade :s
Passimian is really cute and customization is looking really cool, though it’s a pity there isn’t a variety of dark skin tones (and being able to get an afro haircut would’ve been really awesome as well).
Yeah, they need to add more hairstyles, especially for males.
we can have purplered-ish hair, so thats something
I don’t want purple, I just want looooong hair.
like this? https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/ef626019b203650f83482c668c14e663d62ac6e90d69382216ea1c8350d77172.jpg
Totally. That’ll work.
When this came out I used to tease my sister saying “hey look its you!” because she kinda looks like jacob with long hair, lol
I don’t even know what it is.
how can you not know about this garbage series? everyone does, its twilight
Oh god. Twilight!
Abandon thread, abandon thread!

I retaliate with Jack Sparrow:
http://www.capecod.com/wp-content/uploads/sparrow.jpg
oh how I love the pirates movies! There is a new one supposedly coming out in the next while. I just love them, I love the sea and the mystery and fantastical things that happen in those movies
Pirates:
http://kurld.com/images/wallpapers/image-one-piece/image-one-piece-16.jpg
is this from an anime?
One Piece. The most famous of all pirate anime.
oh I have heard of that, I never watched it because all the guys in my school who did were like the biggest assholes, you know, the kind of nerdy guys every school has that thinks they are far superior to everyone else and that the world was made for them. I thought about watching it a few times but don’t know if I can because I only associate it with them and it gives me a bad taste in my mouth. Really the only anime I have ever watched and loved was AoT
Geeks/nerds don’t think they’re superior, they just come across that way because most people only view them as geeks/nerds/guys who know stuff and tend to forget they have souls and feelings and aren’t very good at being social and get very lonely. They’re all Mimikyus.
You probably wouldn’t like it anyway, it’s about friendship, sadness and beating the crap out of villains.
No idea what AoT is.
I am a nerd, had many friends in Highschool who were both geeks, nerds, dorks, and “popular” people, trust me, they were assholes they went out of their way to insult and degrade people on a daily basis, the dynamic in my school was very unlike what you see in movies, there were really only two guys that were “popular” who were bullies all the rest were in that crowd of “nerds” (and no, no one called them nerd or anything I just didn’t know how else to describe them) the best thing was that my boyfriend at the time was smarter than all of them and it pissed them off so much because they couldnt handle that, lol, they would actively insult him and talk garbage about him to me and then when he came to our school for dances and stuff he would calmly take them down a notch.
not even gunna ask why I wouldn’t like it because of those reason… also AoT “Attack on Titan”
I’m talking about my own experience from school and college. I’m not even in the US so those films (which I wasn’t thinking of) don’t in any way affect my statement.
Also if they went to school dances when they could have been at home instead, they weren’t nerds/geeks imo.
Oh attack on titan. Heard of it – never watched it.
http://66.media.tumblr.com/5fecf7c0f16df5b083e22b30fd4fe327/tumblr_mmb400NRWq1qiyhkqo1_500.jpg
they were definitely geeks and nerds, its just where I live, those types of stereotypes don’t really exist that much, and they went to the dances because their friends went (some of which were very nice people as I was also friends with them)
Going to the dance because your friends are going is no excuse. No true geek would go to a school dance (I’m aware that’s a logical fallacy, I’ll work on getting the official definition ammended :P).
There weren’t many geeks in my school days, but my college days were pretty much nothing but geeks because I did video game design and computing.
Follow your nose anyone?
https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CszWFYbW8AAtZsi.jpg
Tucan Pokemon maybe?
well its been seen that the pre schooler wore a vikavolt shirt. and the helmets being pokemon
Dam that’s looks like the real animal ….this shouldn’t be allowed.
There is evidence real animals exist, at the same time, a Toucan Pokemon would be cool.
Could be a leaf, not a nose/beak
the riddler posted this
Well he is a riddler, things are not what they seem
I don’t trust the riddler anymore.
Apparently the Riddler leaker added it to the list of his riddles as a new Pokemon. So that’s a thing lol
link?
Honestly all I have is the Bulbagardne post by someone who’s been collecting all his leaks for the rumor thread they have going. So I don’t have an original page for you to look at, but I’ll link the post form Bulbagarden at least lol
http://forums.bulbagarden.net/index.php?threads/rumours-fakes-leaks-discussion-thread.214874/page-241#post-5985320
TOUCAN!!!! YESSSS!!! IM NAMING IT TOUCAN SAM!!!! PLEASE BE REALZ
Don’t forget this bird (rf)
Isn’t that a Lanturn? On the Hotel
it looks like either lanturn or wishiwashi
http://i3.cpcache.com/product_zoom/601439822/toucan_play_that_game_shot_glass.jpg?color=White&height=460&width=460&padToSquare=true
Rather attractiveX-)
I can think of the Toucan being “Blucan” and then evolves into “Touquoise”, the Blue Toucan Pokemon.
I just had a horrible thought: Smeargle in doubles, with Instruct…..
omg, I may need to get both version now (rf) gf stepping up that customization

Too short.
not for me 😉 I am unable to be attracted to guys with long hair, idk why, I have tried to make myself it just doesn’t happen, so short hair it is
Short enough?
https://ichef.bbci.co.uk/images/ic/1920×1080/p020v5c3.jpg
ew, thats not short, there is none there, lol
He had hair once I swear.
https://pbs.twimg.com/media/BUiCKrFCAAAPMW2.jpg
yeah, but like, he’s an old man and not my type, it goes further than just hair lol
You sound SO young! hahaha
I also was confused about chest-hair for a bit.
is that sarcasm or do I actually sound young? O_O like how young?
No sarcasm.. I don’t know, above teenager? xD
I’m not THAT old, but I still feel for bald men.
feel? as in feel bad? because I feel bad for them too, but if you mean feel as in attraction, nope, not my type, I don’t see how that makes me seem young though?….
I hate to admit it, he has a point.
why?
Legit, I love guys with long hair. Maybe it’s cause I wanna run my fingers through it, I dunno xD
It’s kind of weird xD
Long hair is best hair!
Long hair was the thing that won me my first girlfriend (*conviently forgets how bad that ended*)
You know it 😉 Make me mess my long chest length hair, but I cut it to my shoulders to make it easier to take care of while in college plus I missed it from middle school.
you had long chest hair…..?
edit: sorry I read that wrong
Chest-length. Like past my shoulders and around my breast area really.
If I had a lot of chest hair as a girl, I would be concerned.
I just about managed to resist the urge to post an image of horrifyingly long chest hair.
I’d struggle to have mine chest-length because it gets too greasy too quickly.
I can only ever manage shoulder length.
Yeah, that was a problem, but I do love it so much. Like, I’m good with any length before it reaches my waist. Never again xD It was super difficult to deal with for me and it was more pain than tolerable.
Thank god we don’t have to worry about that in pokemon. Now I really want them to let the males have Lusamine length hair just for the hell of it XD
YESSSSS xD That would be awesome, not gonna lie. Might have a good chuckle if we find that out :3
These are the best haircuts yet.
Not long enough.
http://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/thumb/6/6d/Black_2_White_2_N.png/200px-Black_2_White_2_N.png
holy crap they need to give us an N hairstyle, omg, no, they give us enough to be all our fav characters in a sense
I thought you didn’t like long haired guys 😛
Im not attracted to them, doesn’t mean I don’t like them 😛 N was super cool
If we had long hair and could dye it green, people could look like N.
Fingers crossed for other trainer hair styles/clothes
(Like Gold and Hilda etc.)
So Last Resort Eevee with it’s new Z Move is seriously the strongest Pokemon in the game. WTF!?
huh?
That’s ADORABLE
Everytime a new move or ability gets released, people freak out about its competitive use. And that’s what I love about this game and some fail to see: this new gen is chock full of competive scene breaking abilities and moves. No one can prepare for everything. Things are about to shake up for serious.
Komala+ the rugby
Right? So many great combos and moves. Oricorio, Bruxish, Raichu, yungoos, mimikyu, passimian, etc. plus all the abilities and strategies already out there. It’s amazing. I’m so hyped.
protean…..
K what?
like HA kecleon+ this thing. it would give it the ability protean,
Yeah. That’s my point. So many new strategies that will make so many new and old pokemon usable competitively. No one can plan out a team that covers all of these strategies. I’m tired of seeing landorus and gardevoir in the competitive scene. Things are shook!
I’m (and maybe most of the community too) are kinda tired seeing Primal Kyogre, Mega Gardevoir, and Xerneus in battles. But let’s see how Sun and Moon mixes with the Formula?
Keckleon?
Not Greninja?
Instruct being used on partner Mega Kangaskahn…..
its the new smeargle, competitive must
