Which starter will you be choosing in Pokémon Sun & Moon (which are out NEXT MONTH for the 3DS)? Before any of the starting Pokémon’s evolutions are officially unveiled, why not vote down below?
[poll id=”111″]
Recently a string of reminders for Tuesday’s news reveal have featured Rowlet, Litten and Popplio with the text “Have you already decided your starting Pokémon?” While not a sure sign we’ll see their second evolutions this week, it could definitely be a hint towards their reveal!
FEATURED DISCUSSION: Favorite Episode of the Anime?
I still think this starter evolutions are fake, because these evolutions have been released too early than normal
It’d be so cool if GF released fake evos to generate hype, and then *BAM* they reveal completely new evos.
That’s what I what, but what are the chances D:
I don’t really see your logic behind that. Especially considering they were leaked by the Chinese branch, being the newest, they were bound to let things slip. I honestly don’t see how people can still be in denial about them from all of the evidence.
If that starter evolutions were real, they would also all be released on serebii.net. That is not happening, so that developments are fake.
Serebii doesn’t post leaks I’m afraid. So that doesn’t really help your argument at all.
Actually, Joe of Serebii posted on his Twitter months ago that these are real, but refused to put them on his site since they were leaks and he wanted to avoid getting a DMCA as it happened before with Pokemon Black and White, meaning the Pokemon Company keeps a close eye on Serebii. However the leaks have been confirmed for a while with quite a bit of supporting evidence. But to each their own mate.
They are basically all but confirmed at this point. Mallow is shown in the images for Litten and many Chinese leaks accompanying them have been confirmed true
Rowlet is my favourite out of these set of starters. But I usually don’t care much about the base form, the final evolutions usually seals or for me.
But if I have to my opinion goes:
Rowlet > Popplio > Litten
My exact feels
Rowlet sucks because of Ice type. That thing will be getting all kinds of OHKO from physical or special attacks, I imagine a life orb Ice shard taking it out. I don’t care about what people say I think the design of the leaked evolution is also boring and bland I imagine Rowlett being popular only in the US and some western countries.
Grass starters are never really that popular anyway.
I think the Owl looks the best personally. Not too much of a fan of the Tiger
I actually like Litten’s possible final evolution. Sue me lol
I like it too. So no problem here lol
I will
https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/f/fc/Sues_skeleton.jpg
GET HIM SUE!!!!
Nice reference lol
Litten final is actually really great. its just that people can’t accept that it looks bulky and big
I like all 3, so I’ll be using all 3 😛
I’m leaning towards popplio on my first run, on a second I may choose litten.
So who here uses the site N4G to get the latest gaming information?
I just ask because I find it odd that when I find news articles on Pokemon Sun and Moon (good and well written articles mind you) they are usually untouched or barely viewed.
I understand the bipedal hate toward littens final evo, but come on guys it’s a ferocious fire wrestling tiger! (basically king from tekken). I love it and can’t wait to pile drive team skull grunts into the ground 🙂
According to the image writing it seems to fight dirty, if so I sure do hope it can learn Foul Play, as well as Sucker Punch and Fire Punch 😛
well its a fire/dark so i would hope it would learn foul play and sucker punch. It fits it so well
Diffidently excited to have it and the other 2 on my team for my journey!
lol just hope u have 2 3ds’s ready for trading
I got a New 3DS and a 3DS XL waiting, but I worry for a few things, one being will Ditto be in Sun and Moon in the wild. The second being how long till the Day Care lol
Though it doesn’t bother me as I do plan to play it after December for exams so by then I think Pkm Bank will be updated.
I just think it looks really bad. I used to be fond of the fire starters by default, but since Gen 5 they havent really been doing it for me.
I agree. The design could defintely use tweaking and it might who knows! But personally I always choose fire starters because of how fierce and aggressive they seem. And i feel beltigre sums that up perfectly!
So we are just gonna name it Beltigre? I’m cool with that lol Reminds me when people called Snivy Smugleaf before its US name was revealed.
i call it Heatigre since the day it was revealed
along with Bowinowl
Bowinowl is perfect!
Lol I guess so. Unless we can think of better names..? It’d be interesting to see what people come up with!
How about an option for None?
they should put rockruff has an option
I guess I’m one of the few people who have zero problems with Sun/Moon so far from what they have revealed. That being said, I’ve been with Rowlet since they were first announced and I don’t intend on changing that. I don’t care if it’s 4x weak to ice, that’s why I have other Pokemon on my team to help cover it.
pray for a HA where its immune to ice moves lol
I mean, that would be kinda broken, but a nice thought. It doesn’t really bother me that much considering the point of Pokemon is to have a team to cover all of your weaknesses.
yea my team has a weakness to water ever since i switched rowlet out for my boy tony the tiger
I haven’t completely decided on my team. I am getting both, but maining Moon.
My team so far:
-Rowlet
-Lycanroc (Might be switched later)
-Mudsdale
-Alolan Ninetales
-Wishiwashi (Maybe)
-Empty Slot
I wonder, what if they pull a funny and reveal the starter 2nd stage evos and MAYBE (its a strech here) the Alolan forms for the Johto starters?
no way
Starters already get ENOUGH love there is no way we’d get Alolan forms for preexisting starters
Suddenly Water/Ground Feraligatr?
Nah, but it’d be funny if it was. I’m hoping we get the Battle Frontier back in Sun and Moon.
I am not swayed so easily, you think if you dangled the word Ground type i’m instantly on board fat chance
half the time people used Megas and Alolan forms as petty excuses to turn pokemon into whatever they wanted but that’s not how the system works
Also just thought I put this here. Seeing Gen 7 may be Nintendo’s swan song for the end of the 3DS soon (like Gen 5 was for the DS) its a good video, and I suggest giving it a watch! (refresh to see)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zXIWgEsSJfI
I was Team Rowlet at first, but when I saw the final evos, I decided that I’d like Popplio in the long run just a teeny tad more than Rowlet so I was converted and am now reppin for #TeamPopplio
same
If I was just looking at the first forms, Litten would definitely be my pick. Really unique design for a fire type. But Popplio 3 is just too perfect to pass up.
So… Team Pop
I seriously find this so funny

I remember the commercials for this, where the mom tried to make Pokemon breakfasts for the kids like a plate of scrambled eggs with ears and red cheeks for Pikachu, etc. I just found it:

Salandit is so good for a team with lots of fairies. Having access to fire moves to deal with steel types as well as corrosion to poison regardless of type makes it really great to switch into
I assume you really like fairy types?
It is tied with Ghost as my favorite type and my SuMo team has 3 fairy types (Mimikyu, Popplio3 and Alolan Ninetales) so it definitely helps.
whats the other 3? or u dont know yet
Pikipek, Lurantis and Salandit
Ah nice. I would say for coverage why not add in a fire type and Flying type but I think you want to stick to new Pokemon or Alolan Pokemon.
Salandit is awesome! I just hope it doesn’t end up having a redundant evolution like Helioptile.
I’m kind of hoping for a demon succubus lizard thing for a female evolution. Maybe that’s a bit much for pokemon though but ¯_(ツ)_/¯
i wouldn’t be surprised if you didn’t get it
but speaking of demonesses i wanted to see if they made a Dark/Flying Harpy
I’m not really holding my breath for it, I just think it would be neat
Demon Succubus Lizard? That’s a crazy idea lol, a bit much for Pokemon like you said.
The female version is stated to attract pokemon and humans so it made me think of a succubus pokemon luring them in then attacking. Or controlling their victim when they breath in her pheromones
I didn’t know that about Salandit thanks for the info. Now that you mention that it make sense, I like your Succusbus idea tho.
One thing’s for sure, I won’t end up looking like the kind of succubus you find in Disgaea 😛
Googled it. Yeaaahhhh it wouldn’t be that much
Disgaea is a good series.
They made a short anime of the original.
The characters look pretty cute. I mean, ignore the goods but yeah
What goods?
tits
Doesn’t bother me.
I’m one of those people who says instead of removing scantily clad females from games, simply add more scantily clad males.
Besides, the two lead females, Etna and Flonne, are completely flat and some of the other side characters are the opposite. They’re very good at keeping things varied.
Nah I don’t mind it either. I’m just saying that even taking away that part of their designs, the characters look really cute
I don’t see the significance of ‘taking away that part of their designs’, so I’m guessing there’s probably some subtext here that I’m ignorant to.
The designs are indeed well done. They’ve got a very wide variety too. In disgaea every human-like character is either cool, cute, sexy or a combination of the three.
IDK, I guess I’m just saying sex appeal? I dont really know what I’m saying anymore. They seem well designed either way
If I bough games for sex appeal I’d have various eroges and Senran Kagura sitting in my Steam library instead of Skyrim, Space Engineers and L.A. Noire.
Just to stir up a conversation: What types of movies would you like to see as TM’s, Or what type of TM’s would you like to see back or in Sun and Moon per say?
I’d personally like to see Iron Tail return as a TM. As for a move that could become a TM, I’d be down to having Moon Blast be a TM. What about everyone else?
Ok this is unrelated but WHY IS THUNDERBOLT ALL THE WAY IN CERULEAN CAVE IN HGSS?
Remember when TMs could only be learned once so you had to decide which on of your Salamence, Metagross or Flygon was worthy of the coveted TM26 Earthquake
People would restart games, play through all the way just so they could get another TM to trade
Or use the Emerald cloning Glitch, which I admit I did for unlimited TMs, Rare Candies, Vitamins and of course Master Balls
I used that because I found a way of doing it without having to cut the power whilst the game is saving – i.e. no risk.
that should be a crime
Aura sphere as a tm would be cool
Elemental Punches should become TMs again.
Also Icicle Crash so Black Kyurem can finally learn it
meh you gotta have some Move tutors moves left and Black Kyurem is annoying enough it doesn’t need anymore handouts
It will probably go to Ubers if it learns that, and therefore you don’t have to deal with it anymore
twould be nice but knowing Smogon they’ll let anything be in OU if they skrimped it enough
face it i’ll never be truly away from legends and megas for the rest of my miserable life unless i call the shots and force a non-legends ladder
Why have iron tail when it could be Iron Head much more reliable and a decent chance to flinch and hurts all those stupid PUNY UGLY FAIRIES
Moonblast is never going to be a TM when Dazzling Gleam is potent enough
“puny ugly fairies”
http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/pokemon/images/d/d3/Xerneas_anime.png/revision/latest?cb=20140216231642
please that thing is only dangerous because of Geomancy and Fairy Aura i could easily 1 or 2 shot it with Iron head
Ok but look at itttt its a pretty rainbow deer
i’ll shatter it with my steel and uses the shards to slice its own flesh and i’ll leave it to bleed out
…you can’t kill the embodiment of life…
i can always try
Maybe it has like, unicorn blood and you will be forced to live forever and watch the world crumble around you unable to join their fate and you’re left drifting in emptyness
and this is bad how?
You’ll get really bored?
i’m already bored, lonely and miserable each passing day this is not news to me
But you wont have pokemon or anything to pass the time. You will be miserable in NEVER ENDING EMPTINESS D:<
“You have slain something so pure and defenseless to save yourself, and you will have but a half life, a cursed life, from the moment the blood touches your lips.”
how would i even ingest it?
i sent my Excadrill to attack it then i took the shards and drove it through its flesh
its not going to jettison a high volume of blood so forceful enough it reaches my mouth or any other orifices
Well we are also going off of the assumption that you can kill life itself so…
Just roll with the reference
no i’m not gonna roll with anything
Unless i curl into a giant spiky boulder and flatten everything in my path
That is very unlikely, Earthen
I love it when they try setting up turn one, or against my steel type. One shot it with a Banded Scizor, Aegislash or even a Mega Gengar.
Well I mean, if the trainer is setting up against any of those pokemon then there is a problem
Definitely. But I also like it when they set up when I blatantly still have a check to it left. Ho-oh deals with it nicely but no one except it. Also dont set up against a Deoxys A, you will be take out with Extreme Speed the next turn. Lugia, Dialga and Primal Groudon are the ones they underestimate as they can just phase it out after it sets up and then it’s just dead weight.
Use it well though, and it’s hard to stop.
To be frank, both would be better than Steel Wing tbh. It would give more options for Pokemon and type coverage moves.
Tbh it was annoying when they removed the move as a TM in I think Gen 6 (unless Gen 5 also didn’t have Iron Tail as a TM either).
How About the Mega Punch and Mega Kick
I think Star Wars VII is a good movie to have as a TM.
In all seriousness though, I think they’re going to keep all the TMs, changing them around wouldn’t make much sense. They’ll probably just add new ones rather than taking existing moves and turning them into TMs.
Nasty Plot TM please!!!!!
only if they made Burns cripple Special attack
That would be fair I agree or maybe have another way to cripple Special Attack. Otherwise Will-o-Wisp will become even more common.
it is so unfair how physical attackers get SO MUCH SHIT
We gotta fear
Burns cutting attack in half ruining us
Iron Barbs
Rough Skin
Rocky helmet
Confusion Damage is based on physical attack
Intimidate
fur coat
and all while Special Attacks don’t have anything to worry about or generally fear
Huge Power tho
ITS ONLY 3 THINGS AND 2 OF THEM CAUSE ME EVER CEASING MISERY
Seriously Diggersby’s base attack is bloody 56 FIFTY SIX into 112 which isn’t bad but it’s still very very frail
Physical attacks also tend to have more secondary effects
looool thats true man. Well atleast physical attackers get to abuse Swords Dance, a lot of Special Attackers don’t have access to Nasty Plot.
Litten, I was rooting for poppleo but after seeing its final evo, I dont want it any more.
Wow, that’s the complete opposite of me. 😛
In the beginning I was saying Litten because I love cats, but then the leaks came and saved me from making a terrible decision.
I’m still probably going to shove my starter in a box this time around because I really don’t like any of the starters after seeing their final forms (which is a first).
I’ll probably choose Rowlett though because it’s the lesser evil.
Not forcing yourself to use a starter really makes the whole experience better.You can use another pokemon you like more. My black playthrough is more fun with Lilligant as my starter
In some ways I wish they’d just give everyone the same starter and make it something relatively bland but with reasonable potential. That way you’re not choosing your fate straight away and it encourages people to focus on catching other pokemon more.
Like what Pokemon XD did with Eevee. You start with Eevee and then pick a form.
Either that or they offer a wider choice than just 3 starters. E.g. offer 6 or 7.
After all, Wally got to have Ralts, Ash got Pikachu, and I’m sure others have had non-traditional Pokemon as starters before.
Eevee is arguably the best starter for that reason. That is 8 choices right there and you have time to decide.
Yeah, it would mean people’s games would be much more varied. (Even if I know I’d always choose the same evolution)
If I ever get a hold of some Rom hack tools again, I might hack a few old games into making Eevee the starter and see how the game turns out 😛
I actually like having to make a choice at the beginning, because it makes the experience different for each starter you pick.
Also having more choices, makes the decision harder in my opinion. Personally I actually really like the starter formula they have going. It works and it’s not over complicated.
There’s only been about 3 times where the decision has been hard for me, usually it’s a no-brainer, or it’s a choice between 2 because I rule one out straight away.
It’s never been a problem up until now.
Anyway they’ve scrapped gyms in favour of the island trials, why not change the rules for starter types?
Either that or pick Litten and refuse to evolve it, but the game mechanics ensure that it will always be weaker if I do that ; n ;
Rowlet, duh. Such any easy choice. And I’m gonna need sun/moon forms if I’m ever going to choose Litten. Hate that wrestling abomination
“Hate that wrestling abomination”
10 upvotes.
I’m never going to forget how they ruined what could have been the best fire-type starter ever ; n ;
I’m still sure we are getting split evolutions.
It definitely doesn’t seem like something exclusive to rockruff
I’m not convinced.
Especially since Rockruff’s evo is no longer ‘secret’.
-.- it was when they said that
And Rockruff could still have other secrets that we don’t know about.
… ok come on really. It evolves based on game version. No other pokemon does that. How is that not the secret?
No other Pokemon that we know of yet.
Besides which, it would be a spectacular double bluff if it weren’t the secret.
How do you take a cool fire cat and make it so generic!?
It takes a special kind of failure.
Why has everyone dismissed the starters getting split evolutions. Rockruff is the only pokemon to get version exclusive evolutions and it shares a secret with the starters. It makes sense. You could say “oh it is part of type null like the starters” but like, no. just no. That isn’t the secret.
The problem is that it really doesn’t seem likely that the secret is split evos. Keep in mind that at worst having split evo’s for the starters would have people upset that their forever stuck with a line of pokemon that they don’t like based on what version they bought, and feel like Nintendo’s milking them for their money to buy both games, and at best it would make one of the two forms fall into obscurity as once someone figures out which form is objectively better, the other will never see any use.
As well, remember its just that they share a secret. A secret can be anything. Honestly before the split evo theory, people assumed that rockruff might be a secret starter pokemon. More then likely the secret’s that they all have a unique z-move that only their lines can use, probably when fully evolved.
There’s also the possibility that there’s more to Rockruff that hasn’t yet been revealed.
Just saw someone said this below. Oops.
It’s ok, it’s quite a common opinion.
So far I count three of us.
Litten in sun Rowlet for moon.
It’s so funny how when the starters were revealed Popplio was so hated and now it’s risen to pass Litten in terms of likability. I guess the final evolutions had a lot to do with that. lol That said Litten is still my favorite of the three in their base forms.I do like Litten’s final evo, but I have to admit Rowlet’s evo is pretty dope lol
I think that always happens.

This is exactly how I came to regret picking Froakie in Y.
“Oh, Froakie looks like an alright water type for a change. And its first evo looks good too”
Then Greninja happened and I cried internally, held out long enough to beat the game, and then shoved my starter in a box and forgot about it.
Most people do change their opinions as time goes on.
However my personal opinion has remained the same on these
Final evolutions definitely did. Changed from Rowlet to Popplio (assuming the one revealed is for Moon that is).
I also liked Delphox a lot more than I originally did when it was revealed though.
I like all the new starters evolutions to different degrees. I like Rowlet’s as it just seems cool looking. I do really like Litten’s evo tho due to its concept. I REALLY hope it turns out part dark type like the rumors say. It being a heel wrestler sounds amazing! As for Popplio’s evolution I have to admit, when they first leaked I honestly thought they were fake. for whatever reason I never thought they’d make a starter overtly gender specific (despite a lot of them being male looking lol) so I called fake in my quest not to be crushed. lol However I never once thought it had a bad design. In fact I really like Popplio 3 as well. It’ll definitely get harder to choose as time goes on hahaha
Totally agree. At first, I was very disappointed with Litten’s final, but now, I can see the concept of the heel wrestler and potential Dark type and it makes me less disappointed and more okay with it.
But I still kind of won’t let go that I wanted Litten to be quadrupedal and be a majestic tiger. But, beggars can’t be choosers. :3
What if you assumed for a minute it was Fire/Fighting and not Fire/Dark. How would that influence your decision?
I would be back to being disappointed, but I’ll still use it (since I use all the starters in the first playthroughs) and most likely I’ll find something else to like about it.
It’s what happened with Emboar. Although its my least fav starter, I can still respect its design and stats somewhat.
There hasn’t been a starter that I refused to use, and evern past first playthroughs, I still use them in future playthroughs.
I never had any issue with Emboar.
I would have preferred it to end up as a quadruped, but I could live with it.
Tony the tiger I cannot live with.
I never replay games anyway, erasing my game would be like erasing one of the few happy chunks of my past.
I don’t mind replaying cause I love having new adventures. Because I can save my Pokemon easier on Pokemon Bank, I have less guilt to deleting the file, since the thing that made that playthrough great, the Pokemon, are saved forever so I can look back on it with memories.
However, there is one version of the game I usually don’t restart (Due to various reasons)
I don’t trust pokemon bank for long term storage and I get attatched to my ID numbers 😛
I only have one issue with Popplio’s third form, and it’s the weird hair ties. If they got rid of the hair ties and let its hair flow free, it would be one of my more preferred water finals.
I can’t vote for now, since it says that I have voted already (when I haven’t), but as base form, I love Litten. Its personality and looks remind me of my own cat (which, as I am typing this, she is in my room being mischievous). But, as for the final forms, I love the other two more, mostly Rowlet, but Popplio’s looks amazing too
Try deleting your cache
I just refreshed and I was able to. It just took some time, is all. Thanks for the suggestion though 🙂
Let’s play a game. Badly describe your favorite pokemon (or least favorite if you want) and try to guess eachother’s
Mine: Playboy the Pokemon
(Least favorite: Tiny Wings On the Scene)
(Since I love two Pokemon as my favs, here we go)
Purple ESP feline and Rule 34 in a dress
Espeon and Gardevoir. That description is great XD
Thanks 🙂 I got Lopunny for yours, and I never got your least fav until someone guessed it xD
Favorite: black ring cat. Is yours dunsparce?
Litten? And yeah Dunsparce is my least favorite
Nope
Oh! Liepard?
No, dang maybe cat was the wrong word to use.
Umbreon.
I wouldn’t really call it a cat though.
I know but I couldn’t think of a better way to describe it.
Nobody’s sure really.
I lean towards either a fox or rabbit hybrid, and it definately reminds me of Anubis.
Umbreon.
Yes!
Alright. Let’s make one a bit of a challenge.
Pokemon: Golden Throne.
Arceus?
good guess, but no. again this one might require you to think outside the box. I suppose my best hint would be, what is the golden throne?
Ohh a toilet? So maybe garbador or trubbish?
haha. Ok that got me. Your getting a little closer, but not there yet. There are many things that have bared the title of the golden throne. However the one i’m referring to in this case is this one. Maybe try googling ‘golden throne’.
http://pro.bols.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/Emperor_golden_throne.jpg
Okay I’m going to go with Giratina.
Since he and the Golden throne “locked” away and a part of them are dead( the throne physical body and Giratinas ghost type. That’s the best I’ve got lol
2 minutes slow. Look up XD
Awww someone already got it?
I already guessed Giratina.
Still no confirmation from Mello either way though.
Aww dang if only I had posted sooner lol
good guesses from both of you, and your getting closer. at this point your close, but my last hint would, and kinda handing it on a silver platter at this point, would be this: who is on the throne. This is something form a specific series so theirs really only one person who can be on the throne.
Seperior!
Honestly this is the closest guess so far. Your nearly there. Perhaps a pokemon from an earlier generation?
Oh, Slowking!
good guess, but I don’t think that a throne as great as that would be worthy of a mere king.
Helix!
Cofagrigus?
good guess, but still not there. Your thinking more what sits on the throne, and not who sits on it. Specifically what title that thing still holds. Ithsme guessed both slowking and seperior, and king and a noble. However both of those are titles too lowly to sit on such a throne.
I don’t know, I would think a king is high enough. I’m out, I don’t know at this point. xD
its a shame because you’ve seen my team before, which has this pokemon. but in any case I’ll give ya all one more guess before I just say it. Your nearly there.
Reggigigas
Darkrai?
I’m going to go check my VS recorder . . . Jk, I’ve got no idea.
Alright, since nobody seemed to get it, the answer is Empoleon. The golden throne is from the Warhammer 40k universe. its a big machine that solely exists to keep the emperor alive for as long as possible, even to the point that he’s little more then a withering corpse.
Empoleon is the only pokemon that bares the title of the emperor pokemon. Its based off of Napoleon and an emperor penguin. I even made a point to make sure the image I posted had the word emperor in its link to give a hint.
Again I did say this would be a bit of a challenge, but I figured it would be easy enough since a google search of the golden throne brought up the image of the one from 40k and a wiki page that explained it in great detail as their first results for me.
As for everyone’s guess, good across the board. Arceus is a god, and the emperor is a god emperor in 40k. Empoleon’s often seen as trash, so good guess there. Giritina is often labeled as the devil, and the emperor is pretty much evil. Heck even pulling out some really good regal pokemon thinking about who’s sitting on the throne.
Ah, that was tough! xD
Empoleon was going to be one of my first guesses, but I was focusing on the death aspect because of the whole corpse thing in the lore of Warhammer.
If I’d known that the Warhammer lore had pretty much nothing to do with it I would have gone for Empoleon sooner.
Fair enough, but at the some time I did say I wanted it to be a challenge, and I figured that the moment that I brought up that the focus was the person on the throne, and not the throne itself, which with my limited understanding of the lore is why anyone praises/worships the thing to begin with would have been enough of a hint. Heck once I said that a regal starter was close, but wrong, I figured people would get it on the next guess.
I was assuming that specific throne was chosen because of its uniqueness in what it does. An emperor sitting on a throne is nothing special, but a machine that sustains life is.
Point taken. I’ll make a point to be more specific in the future.
I don’t mean to sound like a sore loser or anything, it just seems kind of backwards, like stating ‘the crown jewels’ when ‘a crown’ would suffice. Maybe I’m just being “too literal minded” as Malacath would say.
No, its a fair point. I just figured that having something like a king, or a image of a roman emperor would have been to easy. I tried to think of something that would force you to think of the clues in a different way, not focusing on the throne, but rather questioning why it was important to begin with, which would lead you to the emperor. But again no worries.
Well played good sir well played.
Jellicent!
Alright, I give! I’m ready to hear if people are done guessing.
I’m also done lol
Steelix
Me and Ithsme give…
I’m guessing it’s a ghost type or an emperor, or possibly something related to healing.
I’m going to guess Giratina.
Well pretty obvious what I like and since it’s on my avatar, I’m not gonna describe the soap suds bubble Pokemon.
Random Pokemon I am thinking about: Shade with crystal eyes.
Random Pokemon I am thinking about 2: The bird with the most fans! (since I can’t think of a least favorite one)
Sableye and Staraptor?
Sableye is right, Staraptor is not… more fans than that!
Talonflame!
No! Literal fans. 🙂
Oricorio Sensu Form?
Yeah! 🙂 You typed it barely before Starstorm was able to fix the typo.
…. clever girl…
Oricorio

Least favorite (idk so I’m just going to go with one I dislike): Unsettling clairvoyant humanoid
Torchic and Medicham!
Close! The favorite can actually fly (think of common breakfast items) and the least favorite is not that humanoid.
Pidove?
Nope. I’ll add another clue, the breakfast item is not a meat.
Togetic?
Jynx?
It’s Togekiss, but I’ll give you that one!
And the least favorite swings a ring.
Hoopa!
Should’ve been more specific. xP It has a ring of fur around its neck.
Alright, it looks like no ones guessing anymore, so it’s Hypno.
Also this was clever, nice job coming up with this challenge!
Favorite: Cold dress with eyes.
Least favorite: Smart, cake tiered dress with eyes.
Froslass.
and
Gardevoir?
or maybe
Slurpuff
It is froslass.
But nice try on the last favorite.
I only realised after I was done typing what the second was.
I forgot its name and had to look it up.
The second one is Gothitelle
Yep! My next hint was going to be: The breakfast club.
That would have made things less clear.
I’m surprised how much Gothitelle is disliked around here
I don’t like it much either.
Aside from looking like it should be a dark type, it has so many weird features, like the tiered dress and the disks on its head.
They could have made a much better attempt at a gothic lolita pokemon if they’d made it more humanoid or made it simpler, with less of the aggregated features.
Yeah, it should’ve been Psychic and Dark. Idk I think its cool. I like the bows and its color scheme. Also the gejinka of it is pretty cool looking

I detest bows and frilly things (with the exception of crevats and the things at the end of sleeves).
I only accept the bows because it goes with the goth-loli look.
The pancake ears and tiered dress though – awful.
Guess its just personal taste then. I love bows so idk.
Its the hands for me. Hideous.
Basically if they were having another attempt at a goth-loli pokemon, I’d want something like this:

Also goth-loli Jynx is amusing:

Oh the first one looks really cool. Like a Dark/Ghost type
Yeah, no pancakes, no tiers, nothing aggregated. Just a nice goth-loli dress and a spooky presence.
Hey how do you hide things?
Use the word ‘spoiler’ like an HTML tag.

Got it, thanks!
Hau dies.
It also works with strong or b for bold and i for italics. There may be more but I haven’t found any.
Favourite (atm) : The queen smart of Shade
Least: Poofy pants with a dog face
You dont like Lucario?
Yes. You never guessed the fav though
Gothitelle as a random guess.
Yes, I recently started using one for the first time and it quickly became one of my favourites
Yay! Someone who likes Gothitelle!
Im on the never ending journey to like all pokemon by using the ones I don’t like, it usually works, but not always
Well you know my favorite so I’ll use my runner-up as my favorite.
Favorite: I created a code.
Least favorite: I have so much teeth.
Porygon, Gengar!
Both are wrong!
Oh, least favorite Bruxish?
Think of the teeth as not actual teeth
Morelull? (Like, morse code. Morselul, idk)
Nope!
Unown?
Wrong!
Answers:
Favorite: Empoleon, which is based on Napoleon who created the Code Civil
Least favorite: Klinklang, the teeth are referring to it containing a lot of gears
Your spoiler broke horribly.
Also I’ve never heard of the Napoleonic Code before, but then I know nothing about Napoleon other than his stomach issues and short stature.
I already fixed it but I guess you have to refresh to see that. And yeah the Code Civil is one of the most famous law books which influenced almost every law book in Europe
Any reason for using the short form of the French title instead of the English translation?
Oh we use the French version Code Civil in Dutch 🙂
Ah, I thought it seemed out of place. I was (half) expecting you to say you were French. XP
In French, the adjective (‘civil’) comes after the noun (‘code’). In English, the adjective comes first (‘civil code’), so the French name sounds very out-of-place in an English sentance 😛
Also, the full title is ‘le code civil des francais’ so the English equivalent is probably ‘the french civil code’ or ‘the civil code of the french’. That sounds a bit generic though, which is probably why it’s also known as ‘le code Napoléon’ in French or ‘the Napoleonic code’ in English.
Napoleon having short stature was actually British Propaganda. He was actually one of the tallest people in the world at the time.
Evidently the propaganda worked.
They even named the Napoleon Complex after him.
