New rules for VGC 2017. No megas and only Alola-natives it seems (rf) https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/ed216128bf20144f865f4ad6f0078cb2b0e3e27484d01fcb8cc8298388e0bd50.jpg
Lol thanks for posting pic i literally posted text box
those are the rules i love!
That’s how it is with every new generation, with native mons.
For those who were in denial it’s settled, those final forms are real. But now it’s even sadder that the cat’s final will end up like that, because its second stage is beyond adorable.
Ps: popplio second form is even more embarrassing than the final one.
I agree with what you sad about litten but popplio3 actually slays
Well, glad you liked it, I for one think it’s almost as bad as the wrestler
Dude, I totally Called it! Just because the Z-Ring doesn’t make sychro occur doesn’t mean Something Else doesn’t. . . 1 thing i knew! hehe
Also..
I think best is..
Base Stage Litten
1st Stage Popplio
2nd Stage Rowlett
Demo for the game will be coming out a month before it’s official release.
I’m not kidding, it’s on the 18th October.
two weeks from now
Mmm I hope they learned from the last demo and took out/hid everything in the main game. I don’t want to have to go dark so soon, there’s still news to see. ;_;
Well….maybe a little stuff to be purposely leaked? Like maybe the names of the final starter evos?
From what I read, it seems the demo is 400mb.. which is 150mb more than ORAS’
I’m wondering if the demo will be later for the UK, possibly October 23rd instead, considering we have to wait till November 23rd, or whether it will be a worldwide Demo release
worldwide demo probably
Here in Portugal the games are only out on the 23rd too and the portuguese trailer states the demo will be out on the 18th.
Yeah Europe in General, thankyou for clarification
Was it mentioned if the Demo will be on the eShop or go out the Trainer Club like the first ORAS demo wave (which was kinda silly imo :/)
Popplio I knew you’d be a good choice 🙂 so damn cute!
Popplio’s second form look kinda slow, if you know what i mean… And by the way, this is clearly going to be the very first gen that the grass starter will be (by far) the most chosen one. It’s gonna be the charizard of this gen.
Serperior?
Not even close. Somehow many people loved (and chose) samurott.
Love them both ^^
I wasn’t a fan of samurott, but got obsessed with serperior. One of the best starters, no doubt.
Serperior sucks! It’s so basic. It’s literally just a snake. Nothing even remotely interesting about it…
“Popplio’s second form look kinda slow, if you know what i mean” I’m dead x)
Can’t say the same for competitive battling scene https://media.giphy.com/media/wv89eetV1HbFe/giphy.gif (rf)
Right? Grass/flying is basically waving a white flag and screaming “critical hit”.
So wat the secret that starters hide?
Maybe the battle bond ability idk
Does Lycanroc have Battle Bond?
I think maybe split evolutions depending on which version or they have their own exclusive Z-move
If this whole Heatigre thing might be the Heel wrestler Pokemon in an alternate universe i would nickname it after the greatest bad guy wrestle man in fictional history
ladys and gentlemen i give you
Strong bad!

Battle Bond almost sounds like an ability though.. what if no protean ;'(
it is an ability so no more STAB whatever
you don’t know it is. .. plus the starters may have this as well along with ability
Ash-Greninja
CATEGORY Ninja Pokémon
TYPE Water/Dark
HEIGHT 4’11”
WEIGHT 88.2 lbs.
ABILITY Battle Bond

Welp. .. doubt people are gonna use it then. .. unfortunate
its only for this greninja you get from the demo dont worry
I know but I was hoping it was competitive
Pretty sure it’ll have increased stats to sort of make up for the absence of Protean. I dont think its a purely cosmetic addition
It will be competitive, since its stats will be buffed more or less. Just because it won’t have protean doesn’t kill off its viability.
Torracat makes me think of Jake/Razor from Swat Kats, and the final evolution Commander Feral.
Somebody MUST make a Pokemon version of Swat Kats.

Ash-Dartrix incoming in the anime. Dat describtion <3
All we need to do is CoroCoro to release more news…
Yes, my lovely Altaria can retain her mega evolution! Im so relieved! Also, i think this pretty much is the nail in the coffin for poor litten. Popplio, you are now officially my starter of choice this generation.

I’d’ really like to know why GF makes a massive point of delivering final fire starters they already know it’s gonna be deeply hated and it’s the perfect opposite of what the fans have been wanting for so long. It’s like they gloat over the frustration and anger of the players.
I never chose the fire starter. I saw a cat, fell in love with how adorable it is, and got my hopes up. I dont even care that it isnt fighting, it just looks like the same old thing done from gens 3-5.hugely disappointed. Popplio’s final form makes up for it though.
^^^ The only fire starter I have ever liked tbh was Cyndaquil, I was always water myself with the occasional grass
Ive only ever used the grass starters. My favorite fire starter is Delphox, but even then i like chesnaught way more.
I kind of feel the opposite. I love Infernape and most fire starters (except Emboar), and Litten’s final is growing on me every day.
Sure, would have liked a majestic, 4-legged tiger, but this design is different and I can appreciate it.
I definitely think it’s supposed to be annoying. To stick in your head, generate publicity, debate etc. People can say as much as they want, oh it’s unexpected, creative, or whatever – perhaps it is these things individually- but it is definitely very similar to a lot of fire starters we have. If I were game freak I’d make next gen starters completely free of the fighting time. Like even chesknaught being fighting was annoying. Same with dark and psychic, we had those in Kalos together as a much wanted set, so let’s start looking at other types for the starter evos! Electric, poison, normal, ghost, ice, fairy, bug, rock….
It would be interesting, maybe even necessary, but sadly i don’t think they would go that way. Regarding specifically the fire starter they more than proved to have a really limited and stiff approach.
Or maybe it’s because they expcet us to not be so immature about designs and create what they want, looks like they failed.
I’ll comment on this reveal later as I don’t have time to converse with you guys right now, but I just want to say how infuriated I am at how many people are making a certain connection with Brionne’s expression and a mental condition. I’m even more furious at how many people agree with them and laugh along. Mental illness is not something to throw around lightly like that; poking fun at it is a very toxic action that could negatively impact another user here.
Yeah tell me about it. I have a sibing i care very much for who has a mental illness… I try my best to ignore them.

The fan art is real
Fan art always helps me like them more
I am thoroughly impressed with all of the 2nd stage starters, though Dartrix and Brionne have be my favorite two. Wonder if people will change their views on the starters based on its evolution’s. Also, maybe Popplio’s line will be split evo, since the last time we had a feminine 2nd stage was Kirlia who had the split final evo. Regardless, I’m extremely hyped for this!
Although it wasnt split till a gen later.
The leak is definitely real, if no one believed it already.
Just think. Two weeks and we could know the names of every Gen VII Pokémon/Alolan forms. Bring on the mining!
Luckily Mega Pokemon can’t use Z-Moves, well apart from Rayquaza, though I doubt we can get Rayquaza till Bank is updated next year.
Although while it’s not a Mega, Ash-Greninja can use Z-Moves, and that’s basically a Mega Evolution but not at the same time.
It also means you can have a team with Both Primals, 1 Mega and Ash Greninja once Bank comes out, unless Primals stay in Gen 6
