Pokkén Tournament, the Pokémon fighter brought to us from the same game studio as Tekken, has added a new fighter to its roster: Scizor (image above courtesy of Serebii)! This was widely expected after fans had datamined a game update which also included Darkrai (revealed several months ago) and Empoleon (yet to be officially announced).
Unfortunately, this announcement pertains to the Japanese arcade version of the game and owners of the Wii U version still haven’t gotten an update that includes Darkrai. Many fans are probably wondering if Scizor will similarly be delayed or even not show up on the console version. We can only hope.
FEATURED DISCUSSION: Yo-Kai Watch 2
First dude bro
Well I was hoping it’d be Empoleon already. They picked the wrong (datamined) fighter to release second…
cool new article
I really wish I could be excited about this…..I love Pokemon and I love fighting games so Pokken should be one of my favorite games……but it’s not…..It’s so clunky and the controls are so weird that I just can’t get into. Plus the story mode is pretty boring…..although I suppose since it’s a fighting game I could give it a pass on story, but without better controls it’s almost not fun to play…….*sigh*……
The controls are good, but you probably have equally good reasons you don’t like it.
Idk I find the whole change between control styles a bit clunky. It COULD be great, but the switch feels weird. at least to me anyway lol
Yeah I guess, I played both Tekken and Naruto…
When I got the game I picked Libre and accidentally ended up learning her infinite combo. I haven’t actually bothered to learn how to use anyone else because of that, but it’s still pretty cool to see new opponents…or it would be if the Wii u version was getting any support.
Doing some research, Scizor does not seem to be that high tier.. His approach is horrid , Darkrai seems to slaughter him in the right hands
Hawlucha as the next fighter please!
pretty much its been confirmed that the next fighter’s Empoleon from data-mining. Though I’m all for the little bugger after him.
I bought pokken and only played it once. Should’ve gotten Twilight Princess HD
I bought TPHD and only played it once. Should’ve saved my money.
Pokkén Tournament looks awesome but doesn’t really interest me since I don’t have a Wii U. I love the way they re-imagined the battles though. So smooth
Boring if it’s not for Wii U it’s not even worth talkin’bout
who wants to hear what I got for my birthday?
-A new computer monitor
-a hoodie
-a succulent plant whom I named “Sebastian” to go with my bonsai “Xi Jong Xao”
-The Doomhammer from the Warcraft Movie
-a bunch of macarons
-and lastly a Roku Stick
But in all seriousness I wish for my Birthday Jarangara was shown because I WANT IT, it looks like a powerful fighter
But it also has unflinching pride and valor which will definitely cause some serious character foil with my rude crude and roguish Beltigre
First I thought Jarangara was weird as hell, now I already like him. But it looks way more like Dragon/steel lol
I’m in the same boat. I posted earlier that I was going to remove it from my team, but it’s already grown on me. I know it’s probably not Egyptian in origin, but its headdress reminds me of Egyptian pharaohs, and that’s what made me like it.
Jararanga is friggin badass!!
I haven’t seen the Warcraft Movie, is it any good? Or do you just like the Doomhammer? Seems like a good amount of gifts right there.
In some places it was still your Birthday when it was revealed, it’s a shame it wasn’t out with the Grimer scan so you could be awake for it. Still it’s here now, I also want to use it. It wasn’t what I expected, the weapon made me think it would be part Steel. What do you think of it’s typing?
The Warcraft movie was very very uncanon
(me, my brother and his friend Mikey we all went to see it, and Mikey is like a Warcraft lore genius and he’s still angry about it to this day)
And the Doomhammer is a very important weapon to me because it is a shamanistic Hammer forged in elemental lava and has a deep connection to the elements, and only it’s true power can be awakened by one who truly can speak to the elements in kind
And as for Jangmo-o-o-o I think it’s an absolute paladin, looks like it will fight tooth and claw to emerge victorious in any battle
Butt despite the inspiring words it has to worry about, Dragons, ice, psychic, flying and a x4 Fairy Weakness
Hopefully this thing has access to Iron Head or Iron Tail because sadly Four Moves Syndrome kinda guts the fun of potential move sets,
Dragon move
Fighting move
Support/buff move
And steel/Rock/ghost move for coverage
Yeah I heard that. Is it just that they went a different story route or was it an actual lore change?
That sounds awesome, do you have a picture of it?
Yeah it has quite a lot to come up against. Maybe it’s abilities (or hidden ability) will aid it in some way. Also it’s stats may make or break it competitively, along with it’s movepool. It could do with maybe a new Dragon or Fighting move that’s good against Fairy.
It depends on it’s stat distribution as to what moves would be best. It may even be a Special Attacker (which I doubt).
It’s just a crappy prop toy but nonetheless it’s still fun to swing around when I’m playing on my Shaman “Eroicus”
Is that your character name?
I have twelve characters
Oh, I thought you could only have one.
You can have 12 toons per realm
And unsurprisingly my realm name is Earthen Ring
hey that’s neat! what kind of plant is Sebastian?
I’ve loved it. I was really hoping to be scizor. Now the ones I still wish to appear are Heracross and Hawlucha, but I know that won’t happen (damn you pikachu libre). Well, at least there will be Empoleon, wich is a nice, weird one to have. But come’on, when will they announce those fighters to the wii u version? I’m crazy to play with Darkrai and now scizor
Guess I’m late. .. but Jurango Totally reminds me of one of my favorite Digimon if not my Favorite.. Gilmon. Highly considering Evioliting it. It’s the Perfect typing balance to my Togetic as well, hmm.
But I just can’t see myself getting down with it’s finally evo.. same with Type: Null.
Their not bad, just not my type I don’t believe
I love Guilmon, not seeing that comparison much though. Maybe the final evo will look better in game, has happened a fair bit this gen.
Their stance and demeanor is the same. Plus guilmon gets armor as well
Yeah I agree on the stance. When he digivolves sure.
My fav. Calumon that or battle wise Coronamon
If they add these new characters to the Wii U version for free I may buy the game. As it is I just don’t have the money for it.
That looks great. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Cup-5PXWgAABL2A.jpg
YES, have they shown Midnight yet?
I hope so ..but not yet.
I think it will look wild 😀
Sure.
I’m freaking loving the GX cards!!! I can’t wait for them to go international!!
WOW. I might need to get back to tcg only to get this card
Yes this looks awesome now confirmed cards for S&M 1 set
Solgaleo Gx
Lunala Gx
Lurantis Gx
Lycanroc Gx
Snorlax Gx
Alolan Meowth
Grubbin
What animals are the Tapus speculated to be? I remember one’s likely a squid, but I don’t remember the others.
I need to know because I have an idea for a theory, but I only have half the information, and I want to know the rest before I post my theory in case it’s not actually plausible.
Well Tapu Koko is clearly a chicken lol I don’t think we’ve had any official hints at the others tho. Supposedly according to the Riddler one of the Tapus is that tiki souvenir from the backpacker in XY.
Well several months ago people speculated the animals based on the Hawaiian deities that the Pokemon are likely based off of. Oh well, I guess I’ll have to do some searching. :p
If you’re referring to them being based off the Hawaiian gods Kane, Ku, Lono and Kanaloa, they are a Chicken (Tapu Koko), Squid, Owl and Boar. Personally my guess is electric chicken, ghost squid, fire owl and psychic boar.
Hunting for Drilbur and then running into another wild encounter got me like https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/c11816a3ad0f0d9263492f98f3c3ad5fd878ed9adb32a54b2133f2be5d1e25dd.gif
Good to know the characters in the datamine are playable and not support sets, especially as I think scizor is one of the best designed pokémon ever (it’s mega is blech though). Too bad the voice doesn’t fit IMO.
As for the corocoro reveals, I wasn’t a big fan of these them when they were simply text based with no accompanying picture, but now we actually have pics I love these! As with most of gen VI so far, I like every new deisgn here!
Alolan grimer’s doofus zombie art I like a lot, it’s cute, though it’s in-game model looks less good :/ , and it could have used a more imaginative typing.
Jarango and Jararanga are awesome! I was expecting something griffin-like or quadrupedal for Jangmo-o’s evolution, but even though I’m sick of bipedal fire type starters that should be quarupedal, these work perfectly. Bipedal dragons I’m completely fine with since at least theropods were a thing, and they actually look cool and natural and not like lame anthropomorphs.
It would have been cool to have dragon/steel, but dragon/fighting is also new and works perfectly for their amazing Mesoamerican warrior designs.
Silvadi I would probably have preffered as a form, but I love it’s design. It would have been nice if it’s burst of power made it mutate futher, but it works fine as is. I hope it’s at least larger though, otherwise how does losing a mask work as an evolution on a conceptual level???
I’m curious as to how it and type:null will be obtainable as gladion evolves his. Will this seemingly artificial beast be breedable? Doesn’t seem completely illogical to me
I would have treated the arceus theories as complete ravings if it weren’t for the new information we’re getting now. This thing is basically a conceptual clone of arceus, and that’s hard to ignore. It’s even supposedly designed to rival legendaries! I’m eager to see where the lore goes with this one.
It’s still a very weird corocoro IMO though, I’d have expected/preferred for them to keep the Type:Null lore as a surprise for the game, but I guess it’s a good scoop to build up the hype.
What really confuses me is the reveal of Jangmo-o’s evolutions, it just seems like a completely random move that doesn’t fit any previous pattern… But I think it might be telling us that the Jang’ line is not actually are pseudo for this gen, which I kinda like despite Jararanga seeming suitable because it means this gen’s BAMF is still a surprise. It’s probably the new Axew IMO
The only downside to all this greatness is it lays doubt on the credibility of the riddler’s type leaks. It’s weird because the leaker was clearly spot-on with jangmo-o’s evolutions, but put Type:Null down as as unevolving.
Now this can mean three things: either the type leak is a lie or contains false information, though their picture hint info is probably still legit; either we misintepreted the type leak and it’s only speculation on their part; or either the leaker indeed only has partial knowledge as the type leak seems to indicate and as such was not aware of Silvadi. I honestly hope it’s the latter, I need me a big number of new pokémon (the upcoming trailer will serve as a good test of this I guess).
Bring on tomorrow and it’s trailer!!!
neat scizor looks great! clearly empoleon is the next fighter, but theres still a space for one more. I’m really hoping for, in this order:
1: Mienshao
2: Bewear
3: Golurk
4: Hawlucha
5: Zoroark
I was pretty good at this game, I wonder if I should pick up another copy?
I have no Wii U, have no intention of having one so me have no clue how to judge this
so when is the news dropping tomorrow? The usual time? Usual place?
Most likely
The middle one has me wondering, alolan forms for not only 1st gen? https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/ac14a3e85cc830d78e7d549c849a2560692f9b9133c36ce786db4f0a66474ebf.png
It looks legit but if Gumshoos is the first trial, why is Ilmia the first captain? Her name literally means flower in Hawaiian and in British-Colombia Canada its a moth. I was pretty certain she’d be either a Fairy or Bug-specialist
Design-wise I’d say Normal/Fairy seem most likely.
I thought I read somewhere that none of the people who played it were able to make it to a Trial Captain. How then, do they know a Totem Pokemon unless there can be Totems without Captains?
I think it was confirmed that Gumshoos/Raticate are the Melemele Totems, so they would be the first ones.
And this new Corocoro issue also confirmed that Ilmia is the first trial captain
I thought llama was a male….?
Gender isn’t confirmed yet but its a feminine name in Hawaiian
I guess, but I mean… bugsy, they also have more of the face shape, design and hair that GF usually uses for males, but I guess we’ll see
Ehh yeah I guess but Bugsy isn’t masculine or feminine
OMG OMG Yes please!!!
Also, about “seeing the whole evolutionary family upon evolution”, I hope that only applies to the stage your pokémon has reached at that point, I don’t like the idea of it spoiling whole new evo lines. And how does it work for eevee I wonder?
It may only mean Pokémon that appeared in those games from gen 1, like Geodude.
Awww…That’d be a very contrived, misleading, and honestly evilly confusing way of saying it haha.
Hope you’re wrong, but it’s good you noticed that because now we can’t be caught unaware!
Some guy dropped this on the previous article.
The name for Cutiefly’s evolution and the English names for Jarango, Jararanga, and Shiruvadi will be revealed on October 14th, along with Alolan Persian, Alolan Muk, Robinroot (Dartrix evolution), Beltigre (Torracat evolution), Sirene (Brionne evolution), Marshadow, and an update on Alolan Grimer..
Also, October 14th’s update on Pokemon Sun and Moon will reveal three more Alola Guardians, plus more new Pokemon, plus some new Pokemon with gender differences, plus new Pokemon based on a dolphin, snowman, tiki, and toucan, plus more Alolan forms, plus a few new Mega Evolutions, plus some new evolutions and pre-evolutions of Pokemon from previous generations, plus a new Pokemon based on Aristotle.
That sounds like way too much new content to be plausible. I’d love it if it were true, but I’m doubting this.
I do think its about time we get the remaining 3 guardians. I mean, Hala confirmed they exist so.
I’d like maybe one more, but I want to discover some on my own as well. I suppose I could go offline, but I can’t leave you guys for an entire month.
I agree, one more would be plenty for now.
Final evos of the starters are definitely not coming until next month
Yeah, it would be too soon since the mid-evos.
Is this that TGSChu person? It sounds exactly like their grammar. They’re not worth your time, they just post a wish list each time a video is scheduled that’s either intentionally presented as a”leak”, or is just confusingly seems like one.
On further inspection yes it is them, they do this every time, haven’t been right a single time, just ignore them.
I really doubt this will be true
That is a lot to put on the plate. I doubt the majority of this will happen.
Excited about the Jangmo-o evolutions. They are so cool. I’m also excited about the information we will get tomorrow. I feel like it will be a lot of info considering it’s the last we will get until the game is released in about a month.
Is it? Has this been officially stated? The Demo is out Tuesday.
No, just a feeling. I mean, I’m sure the final evolutions of the partner pokemon wont come out until the day before the release. But, I think we will get some good info tomorrow.
I hope so, I need new Dark and Ice types now.
Me too, and not Alolan forms turning Dark and Ice. I need new Dark and Ice. They are my favorite types ever!
Dang, Ilama has that “I and L” combination that just makes it look like their name is llama
Yup at first I was confused by the name and then I remembered that capital I and lower case l look identical lol
I thought it was 2 l’s and it was pronounced Ya.
His eyes just scream fairy type enthusiast to me so I assume that means there will be some of those early on… also I will call him LLAMA from now on thanks to you 😛
I love Ilama already though
Isn’t it Ilima? With an i instead of an a?
I went home sick this morning so i’ve had time to process the CoroCoro information. Jararanga and Type Null’s evolution are some of my favorite designs in a long while. Also, Dragon/Fighting…YES!
Hope you’re feeling better now 🙂
I also like those ‘mon, probably gonna have Jang’ on my team.
How do you guys pronounce Jangmo-o? Do you say it with a ‘j’ sound or a ‘y’ sound? I lean toward the ‘y’ but I don’t know anyone else who says it that way.
J like a “j” not a “y”, for the same reason why Jango Fett is pronounced with a “j”.
Jang moe oh
Yup that’s about how I do too.
Same
Since its reveal I thought it was supposed to be a combination of ‘young’ and ‘mo’o’ so I guess that’s why I pronounce it like a ‘y’. If that’s not the case where does the ‘jang’ part of its name come from?

If there’s school in game https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/6ff77e750bcb482609fe8157b0ebf5853a5c98a4addd768d981d3906386a1825.gif

Apparently the game is still really easy. Hopefully just because it is the first couple hours, but interesting that they did see new pokemon that haven’t been revealed yet in the first 2 hours… Hmmmmm
Sort of expected that the game would still be easy.
Well, there are actually mixed reviews. Some articles said the battles were a little bit harder and they had to buy lots of potions, and some say it was extremely easy like X and Y.
Maybe people were given varying difficulty levels? Or just some people weren’t very good at it?
Probably the latter.
Who cares when something huge like Mum has her own room happened.
she had her own room in XY…..
IKR
soo…. 10-15 new pokes in the first two towns. I have a feeling there will be a lot of new pokemon!!
Yah!!!
Wat r they talking about….demo?
The preview given to a select amount of players. It’s essentially the game for the first 2 hours.
Tuesday the demo and tomorrow news
Bet tomorrow is just the CoroCoro leaks like UB 2 lol or idk maybe reminders of the demo?
Ok so Derek and Ash from GamexPlain were not allowed to answer the question whether gyms are cut or returning in Sun and Moon
? I thought they just weren’t allowed to talk about the trainer card.
Yes but the question was whether they could confirm if it had gym badges or not and they were not allowed to answer that. Different question, same outcome lol.
Tru tru
Didn’t someone else who got to play it say Gyms are completely gone?
That was the same person who said that the demo requires 400 GB of space lol
Huh.
Even then I still don’t see why people think Gyms are back, they’d of been revealed by now.
(Gyms are going to be made by the payerrrr)
Also a little sidenote: Confirmed that Omode will return to writing scripts for the S/M anime series. Same person who wrote most of the amourshipping scripts. So I guess Lillieshipping is gonna be a thing
Might have to pick up Pokken Tournament now if Scizor comes to the console version
So what time does the info come out tomorrow? Or has typically come out?
I’m in Southern California so Pacific Standard Time
15:00 where I live and I’m in Northern Europe
What country?
The Netherlands
I was hoping for Sweden or Norway rip. The Netherlands is cute xd
why is the netherlands cute?
Legal weed and prostitution
yes thats totally cute xD, it something you do for fun with ur mother in law for sure
You do if she’s into it.
well, to be fair.. she might !
My mother in law lives in Australia, so I dont have that problem XD
u r lucky haha! is your boyfriend australian aswell?
Yes
It was just a nicer way of saying I don’t like it. I find the architecture ugly there’s just a weird atmosphere there, hard to explain
You probably went to a shithole like Amsterdam
Yep, Amsterdam and a couple of small cities. That city is sad tbh
Amsterdam is only visited because of the marijuana and red light district lol
Getting weed “legally” is cool but I couldn’t care less about the red light district cuz it’s all women. Not that I’d go for it If there were men (non trans) but seeing all of those sluts icked me (I’m probably getting shit for this)
:O
I’m part Dutch… And Sicilian and Hungarian… but I live in Los Angeles, CA!
Goals
totes
6am
Sweet. Right when I wake up!
Aww man 🙁
I thought for sure Scizor would be a better physical attacker, but that trailer mostly showed off Special moves -_-
oh man i’m in a pickle
this new big monitor is really nice…but my beady mole eyes are being blinded by the brightness and overall size
there has to be a way i can still keep the monitor, not make it so bright, i swear i feel my eyeballs bleed on the inside
can’t you lower the brightness on it?
i keep fiddling with it and half the time it looks bad
Well I have two options for ya. Either fiddle around until you find the perfect setting for yourself, or invest in some gunners. Their not that bad in price, but its still probably going to be around 60-80 usd for a pair. Heck a cheap pair of sunglasses could even help if you don’t mind looking like a tool for wearing them indoors.
F.lux
I’m ultra pissed right now!! Yo-Kai watch the movie has a one day airing at select theaters on Saturday and I want the promotional item with going to the movie and I’m going on vacation tomorrow and through the weekend so I can’t go and my dad is not sure he can go and just bail on the movie for the medal!!!!!!! Super pissed
They’ll give it when you buy the ticket, he can just leave after. It’s pretty expensive if you’re not seeing the movie.
I told him I’ll pay him all expenses yet he said might not have the chance to go I’m ok if he can’t though I understand that part but my Mom won’t even try to find a solution to my problem just keeps saying the same thing
Oh right TY for not leaving yesterday we like you here
Well here’s hoping you can manage it somehow.
Well I did leave but then thought about it and came back. I might have overreacted but I hate bullying and didn’t want to be a perpetrator of it, which I realised I may have been. I apologised to Earthern and hopefully he has forgiven me, we have spoken a bit today and he hasn’t ignored me so I’m hoping we’re OK now. Also thanks, I like you here too 🙂
TY for the hope now I must check edmodo for homework
Tomorrow we get a new video and a pokémon generations episode. All that just after a Corocoro. This week is turning out really awesome! And the demo is next week too (kinda sad if it gets datamined and some of us have to abandon ship, but oh well).
I hope the demo has enough replay value and reward to keep me coming back. The ORAS demo had rewards that kept me coming back, but it wasn’t fun after a certain point.
My only problem with the ORAS demo was once you ran out of those quests it became incredibly hard to want to go back to it. I guess part of that is because ORAS and XY were so similar and it was almost nothing new in a way. I’m sure that even if the SuMo demo isn’t super big it’ll still be interesting to play multiple times just to play around with the mechanics lol
My favorite aspect was hearing the remade music from RSE. The music is likely to be another high point in the SM demo as well.
I think 2 articles would be good if it does, one with new ‘mon, the other with everything else. If you don’t want any spoilers at all you probably aren’t coming here now anyway.
Yeah I’m gonna stick to official reveals and just ask someone I trust about a few questions like number of pokémon/alola forms/megas??/evolutions???/what is up with UBs/is there a decent postgame. Lol just thinking if I none of my friends go for the info I may need to ask someone here haha.
Im the opposite, I don’t want any story elements but want to see all the pokemon 😛
I think you will have to stick to official reveal articles and maybe people can put SPOILERS before putting any more leaks in the comments.
And Yo-Kai watch the movie on Saturday at 11:00 am Horray!!!!!!!!!!!!
No offence but from the few minutes I got seeing the anime, I would rather be shot mutiple times than have to endure that. It’s that jinbanyan abominations fault, while I was watching it all I wanted was to see it tortured to death.
Anyway haha, sorry you can’t go, hope you enjoy it if you get to see it!
Thanks if it’s out by Christmas it’s my first on the list for I want it
Heads up, if you preordered Sun or Moon from GAME and expected the Figure, they changed it to an “Art Card” without telling anyone and aren’t even giving it to people who’ve already preordered, so if you want the figure in the UK you should probably change your order to Nintendo Store while you can. Should probably pass this message on as no one seems to have noticed and it’s a little important to those who preorderd from GAME cause of it.
there is no incentive that I know of for preorder where I am from, what is the figure of?
Solgaleo and Lunala.
It’s a big deal here cause they no longer do them in cards due to saftey concerns but still give us pin badges.
Oh those sound cool, shame they arent doing it anymore :c
You still get it if you preordered before the 23rd of September
What they told me
Well evem if that’s true, and different GAME’s say different things, for example, I preordered OR/AS with the figures, then found out they removed that and never got it, so it’s better to be safe than sorry.
my country has no preorder bonus that I know of
so cancel and pre order to the ninendo store 😉
I have but I’m spreading the news
Yeah luckily for me the stupid GAME site wouldn’t process my preorder, and by the time I tried again the figures preorder was only accessible through old links, so I went with the nintendo site.
Tbh I’m kind of worried the games won’t arrive on release date though, it does say nintendo store take a few weeks to process/deliver on the actual site, and Serebii Joe had that issue with Paper Mario Colour Splash because he ordered it there but cancelled because it wasn’t even out for delivery by the release date..
There might be a price to pay for the figures :/
Well we already get it later, another few days won’t hurt. However, everytime I’ve ordered from Nintendo Store, I’ve gotten games early.
Ah awesome, I’m way less worried now! And I kinda disagree, we already have to wait five days, I don’t want to wait another one :p .
For anyone who watched the GameExplain video, Hau picks the starter weak to your own, so there will probably be a more douchey rival this gen as per tradition
just want to say type:null and jango-o evolutions are 10/10 and i love them
I just want information on Ilama
the llama is a domesticated South American camelid, widely used as a meat and pack animal by Andean cultures since the Pre-Columbian era. The height of a full-grown, full-size llama is 1.7 to 1.8 m (5.6 to 5.9 ft) tall at the top of the head, and can weigh between 130 and 200 kg (290 and 440 lb).
Thank you can you tell me about that new trial captain too)
this is what i found https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/11ba79517b63138a3ad0bd30e7b8c1fb91c553770ae608bc1552152340cabf79.png
From what we know, he seems to be the Normal Trial Captain
Id say normal or fairy too, his eyes and colour say fairy, but his plain-ness and early appearance suggest normal
Fairy seems a bit tough for a “first gym” type thing.
yeah but he has those ethereal or demonic eyes like the fairy tale girls in XY or Valerie (was it Valerie, the fairy gym leader) I haven’t seen them give eyes like that to anyone not specializing in fairies… makes you wonder what kind of effects they have on people
It says he’s the first, and we know the Gumshoos/Raticate one is the First Trial, so I think Normal is a safe bet
Is it a he? I don’t care much for the ambiguous characters like Ilima and Bugsy.
I mean, I never thought he was a girl, I think people only think that because of the pink colour scheme
At this point I think it could go either way. In the end I don’t care if Ilima is a he, a she, or a they, but I want to know so I don’t misgender them for years like I did Bugsy.
actually looking again I can see the hair style throwing people off too, but the face seems more like the ones they give masculine characters. Don’t worry most people did that with Bugsy
It wasn’t even the pink that made me think female. I think Ilima’s body shape and facial structure look feminine. I wouldn’t mind a feminine male though.
I can’t tell if you’re just having fun with it looking similar to llama or if you don’t know that it’s Ilima. >.<
Oh idk how to spell it
It’s alright. I thought you were just having fun with it and speaking sarcastically, but it’s all good. :p
Eh it means flower in Hawaiian and its a moth in Canada
I think I read somewhere that they’re encountered at the Trainer School very early on, but I’m not 100% sure, so don’t quote me on that.
Meanwhile, while GAME is screwing British Fans over, Hungary gets this https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/4a7ba312231af2e1f8d58c1965bf22fd56ab5250c3ac8549aa40733f24ed2163.jpg
If GameStop actually had good pre order stuff I”d go to them and just deal with their crap. That’s not the case however so I’ll once again be getting my game at Best Buy
If you ask me, and you aren’t but listen, if you ask me, every country should get the same.
Yeah that’d be cool. That way everyone would have the opportunity to get all the cool goodies. lol
I would argue that the poster is worth pre-ordering at gamestop, but that’s coming from someone who actually uses posters.
$8 off using amazon prime is a better deal imo, and I love to collect and use posters. Especially if you’re getting both version (save $16)
Well if you don’t have Amazon Prime that deal is worthless. :/ Plus midnight release stuff at gamestop.
Wtf I want those pins.
The badges do look cool
Hungary immigration needed IMO
What is the thing right of the game?
A notepad
(RF) Wow, I love it so much now !!! Deff getting a spot in my team:
team so far:
– Alolan Sandslash

You’re not using our lord and savior, Cutiefly?
if it will turn out in a real badass, I might
I don’t understand it already is badass
Oh really? Maybe I need to put on my glassed than…
*wears glassed*
Nope, still sucks
I hope you will find the grace of cutiefly soon
You have to believe! Cutiefly’s true form is only visible to those who believe!
nooooo, too old *cries*
cutiefly master race
I’d suggest a water type.
I do want one.. But there aren’t any nice ones so far this generation. (7th gen team only with some alolan forms)
I’m on the fence with Wishiwashi. I would use Wimpod but I’m having Vikavolt. Don’t like Bruxish
Meh, I think wishiwashi is cool, but not for me. I like Wimpods geekyness, but I hope his evo will be epic, than it gets it slot in my team
Yeah I love bug/water typing so it better be cool!
imagine a gyarados like creature mixed with some bug aspects, it has potential
Sounds epic. I think it could turn out like a Mirelurk from Fallout4
I’m picturing a giant, horrendous (but somehow lovable) sea monster evolution.
Too bad Alolan Arcanine likely isn’t an option.
yeah I really was gunning for that one
True.. :/
I don’t have one on my team yet, and likely won’t unless something wows me. Remember, no HMs, so EVERYONE IS FREE!!
no water slave, no flying slave woohoo
Flying is the best type though. 0~0 I’m having two (if there is a toucan, then three) on my team.
I have my green starter friend as flying type 😉
Yeah but water is a great type :3
It is, but nothing has caught my eye. :/
I know, but it’s an island region so there have to be at least 3 more lines.
Wasn’t Surf used in the trailer with Oranguru? Does that mean they’re TMs now?
Probably TMs.
I like this Salandit evo , but for Alolan Muk I believe its eyes will resemble Guzma sunglasses. http://i.4cdn.org/vp/1476392576940.png
persian is more or less a misformed Espeon xD
So I’m thinking Type: Null’s evo has got to have some pretty amazing stats if it was designed to challenge Arceus, who has 720 BST. I also wonder if its evolution method will be love? Or if it will be something special? Also, its evolutions name is going to be a real pokemon name in English, right? Not like Type: Multi or something stupid…
i think is going to be item based evo
That’s what I’m thinking.
Type: All. (PLEASE GF NO, THAT WOULD BE SO DUMB)
I’m naming it Godkiller either way
SO! I never goto post my thoughts on the stuff last article, so here I go. Ilima looks weird IMO. Eating alolan garbage is a horrible reason, perfect for a horrible redesign. Shiruvadi is super cool, as soon as I get a clearer picture I’m changing my avatar to it (please don’t call it Type: All). Also this pretty much confirms an arceus connection, so this also confirms we’re in for the deepest lore and story ever in a pokemon game (IT ALL COMES TOGETHER!?!?!). Jangmo-o’s evos look great, I was kinda hoping that it would stay on all fours (GF just loves bipedal pokemon don’t they?) but they really hit it out of the park with these designs (the arms are a bit long though). The type also makes me really happy, because it’s a powerful and unique type combo. It’s welcome on my team anytime. Do we know their abilities though? I couldn’t find them, but it seems odd, as CoroCoro usually says abilities.
Ilima is fabulous and I love them but yeah Grimer is awful. Somehow made a bad design worse. I’m not big on the evolution but others seem to like it. I wasn’t even 100% on its first for so 😛
i forgave GF for making Jangmo-o evo bipedal because it reminds of a velociraptor and i always imagine velociraptors being bipedal
I don’t think the issue with Stufful, Sandygast, and Palossand mentioned abilities either. I can’t recall anything about other issues.
Hmm. I’m hoping for something cool, like Battle Armor or No Guard (but no guard seems out of character).
Something I’d like to note: Everyone seems to think Gladion will be the edgy, stronger rival (even though we have no indication of this), and I feel like this may be hau (pun ALWAYS intended) he does it. Maybe he’s not a rival in the sense that he has a starter good against you, but maybe he uses the Shiruvadi type good against your starter?
who is gladion?
Blond team skull boy
AHHHH, yeah I do no think he is a rival. He is lowkey like an admin of team skull
He is actually highkey an admin of team skull. It said so in the trailer. xD
ahhh. imo i think it would be weird to have an admin to be your rival
N?
I know some people do, but I’ve never personally considered N a rival.
same, Bianca and Cheren were your rivals, N was more of an admin turned good in the end
Gladion is N 2.0
Jangmo-o’s abilities were Bullet Proof and Sound Proof.
If the evolutions keep the same abilities, it’s means Jararango is immune to Pixilate Hyper Voice.
Thank Arceus! Sylveon and Gardevoir need to be nerfed. Hopefully it gets access to some good Poison or Steel moves. I could see it bring able to learn Poison Jab at least.
*Thank Shiruvadi
Ehhhhh if Sylveon and Gardevoir catch on they can easily fake it out with Moonblast or something and if it’s a boosting Gardevoir set it just won’t care and go for Psychic anyway
KING JARARANGO ABOUT TO SNATCH THEM FAIRIES
isn’t it going to be double weak to them though?
🙁 true. atleast he can switch to a pixilate hypervoice
I’m hoping they keep Soundproof, but switch Bulletproof to something else, upon evolution.
And here hoping he gets an even better hidden ability.
Hopefully he has high speed and attack. That the only thing it needs to be competitive vialable imp
Nah, it really needs to good abilities and move pool as well.
true, but the typing itself is a offensive blessing. Most dragons already have a good movepool so hopefully he have a good one too. When it comes to abilities, imo it depends. Garchomp ability sucks yet he top tier. In a way, if the ability have a good niche is a bonus for pokemon with high stats
the reason I say movepool and ability are important for Jararango is because of the Fairy Weakness.
Look at Tyranitar, it’s typing leaves it with 7 weaknesses but it’s saved by its godly movepool and ability…
But I guess it goes either way. All four, Good typing, stats, movepool, and ability is obviously ideal
thats not even the scariest thing from pixilate, try trump card on a sylveon with a metronome, it can get worse
Pixilate Double edge is the thing to be afraid of to be honest.
The final trump card does 200 damage before pixilate, but yes you are correct
But you have to set that up so much
UPDATED TEAMS:
Sun:
– Dartrix
– Salandit

– Lycanroc
– Jangaranga
– Mimikyu
Moon:
– Litten/Popplio
– Alolan Raichu
– Komala
– Alolan Marowak
– Alolan Sandslash

Why did the whole thing bold? :/
ur special
Nevermind, fixed. xD
My main hope for SM is that it changes the metagame. I see that they already trying with new abilities and typing combos so hopefully the new pokemon shakes the competitive scene alot
My main hope(s):
– Battle frontier
– PWT
– Kalos
– Seal capsules
– Good story
– Difficult game
– Difficulty options
– Good soundtrack
– Memorable characters
– Over 100 pokemon
– Long story line
– Post game exploration
———
I know, I’m greedy. xD
You’re not greedy. Most if this should be expected
I’m just hoping we get at least a few of these honestly, gen 6 set the bar very low IMO. TBH I’m scared for Gen 7’s post game, because if it is as bad as XY’s and ORAS’s, then this may be the future pokemon post games.
I really want difficulty options
I’m really hoping for field effects. I want to be able to battle in different fields that give different advantages and disadvantages to specific Pokemon.
are you referring to terrains and weather conditions?
Yeh, but ones automatically set as default depending on the field that you choose.
If you change it with say Rain Dance, it will rain for 5 turns, and then return to whatever the default chosen at the beginning was.
that would be nice. imagine having an option to start a battle with a set terrain that would make weather teams battles fun
Yep, it would change the dynamic so much. And they could have a number of different new terrains. And if they are selected before the battle, they will remain for the whole match. Maybe even add a Random Terrain option for even more fun.
Different fields or terrains will have a number of different effects on different Pokemon types e.t.c. It would be a cool thing to add in my opinion.
A ghost one would be awesome, maybe a terrain that inflicts some sort of curse on pokemon not from the ghost type
I do like that their shaking up the meta game, but in all honesty its not going to do much good long term. Meta games are like sand in a bottle. You can shake it around all you want, but everything settles into place eventually.
In this case, give people a few months to figure out what variation of Big-6 has an 80%+ win rate, and competitive will have its Big-6 Alphabet again.
Yeh, but the beginning of a new generation is always interesting and in my opinion the most fun time to play, as everyone is still experimenting with all the new changes.
Yeah, your right. But that’s not saying much. Long term appeal is what truly matters, and while things will be fun and chaotic at first, it’ll all go back to VGC 2015 the moment people find out if the Jin’s of the legendary birds are in the game. Heck, this is why i’m a bit cynical about why megas are out of VGC this there. Because I truly think that GF just wants to make people realize that they don’t know what the heck their talking about with balance and that people will always use what win’s over what’s fun when something of actual value is on the line.
True, but unfortunately with Pokemon everything is always released in one go, and over time the Metagame shifts to a standard, and with nothing new introduced for over a year, you can see why this happens. There’s no reason for things to change. This is probably one reason I would welcome regular updates to Pokemon games, but now we’re getting into the realm of paid DLCs which is a massive no no.
Well, not all hope is lost. Overwatch and Splatoon add/added new heroes/weapons and maps over time and both games did it for free, so I have hope for Pokémon.
And we do get some free content, like the mythical pokemon and other free events. The issue is though that those games allow for themselves to be re balanced with time, where pokemon doesn’t. If Junkrat’s tire is too op, they can nerf it and players are fine with it, but you can’t tweak the stats of pokemon given it would just throw a wrench in the meta, and it would only bandage the issue until people swap out the nerfed pokemon for something better.
True, true, especially since they’ve also got to consider in game as well: which Splatoon and Overwatch don’t have to worry about.
Although I was meaning more along the lines of introducing like, a new Pokémon a month or something that are specifically there to balance the meta or even just to throw something in and make everything adapt.
The few things they could do however is tweak movepools, add new items, add new moves. And add like 3-4 new Pokemon every now and then, specifically focusing on disrupting currents metagame tends.
Yeh changing stats, abilities and typing would be too big changes to implement, but little things are always plausible and if done right, could have significant impact on the metagame to keep it from going stale.
true….so true, why bother when everyone is just going to use the same 12 things

I am much more drawn to Type: Null now that it has this “evolution”
Is anyone else just going to play through the game and pick up whatever Pokémon they screw around with for their team? Becuase I see everyone planning it out but as of late I really hate the idea myself because it’s like so… Restrictive? Like I’ve got three planned teams for my White Monkey Runs, but that’s because it’s Pokémon I want to try out that I either haven’t used before or really want to try.
I tend to go with what I find when playing. Pretty much I only go in knowing what starter I want, and maybe one or two other pokemon if their special to me, in this case being Cubone.
Same here! Popplio and Alolan Raichu are my assured ones.
May I ask how Cubone is special to you?
Ehh…Cubone’s my favorite gen one pokemon. I’ve made a point to use one back in the day, as well in the remakes years ago. I just feel bad for the little guy given he’s all alone in the world, and taking him on the team would give him a better quality of life. Now the little guy’s gone from a mediocre ground type to a pretty powerful looking Fire/ghost to protect other little cubones, and that warms my heart.
Awww, that’s adorable. Tbh there’s nothing cooler than seeing a sentimental Pokémon special to you get something like a Evolution, Mega, Z-Move, or Form ^^
No, I’m choosing mine. I just like knowing which pokemon I’ll have. I only have chosen 3-4 so I’m leaving two slots open for random ones
I make a rough plan, but I rarely follow it exactly. If I see something I like more than something I have planned I have no qualms with ditching the latter.
Nope! I’m a total OCD planner. I need to map out my team for each version and even though I know it’ll change as more and more info comes out, I need to map out my team. It’s the ADD/OCD in me. My friend makes fun of me for it, and it’s constantly changing.
I usually plan out a team because I like to have balance. I also need to know what moves Pokemon will learn as they level up so I’m not stuck with a Pokemon that has only support moves, making battling really long and tedious.
I’m the exact opposite o-o
I hate knowing everything before hand and I don’t mind overlap, as well as not minding lengthy battles XD
For someone called Chaos, you’re very organised :p
Lol, I can’t stand playing slow. In Assassins creed I always had to rush in and kill everyone cos the stealth annoyed me.
It’s actually weird cos I’ve realised I’m very organised when it comes to stats and numbers (which is what Pokemon is at its core), but I’m usually spontaneous with everything else that I do.
I really enjoy taking my sweet time playing games (unless it’s grinding, then kill me) but when it comes to everything else I’m just sitting there like ‘gotta go fast’ :p
I’m also quite spontaneous-occasionally too much so. One time I literally switched classes on a dime, but thankfully the new class is much more suited to my aspirations. ^^:
The thing is when it comes to games and movies/tv shows especially, slow parts kill me. I’m just like ‘get on with it already’. Sometimes I don’t even pay attention to cut scenes unless they really grip me.
But having said that I sometimes I enjoy taking it slow, reading a good book, taking a nice stroll e.t.c.
I usually have a plan for my team but once I start playing its like my team forms itself and changes usually drastically
First time I like random, apart from Starter, as long as I balance my team.
After that it depends
I have it planned but if I find something really cool I’ll make changes
Hey, Isthme, I hate bringing forum questions over here, but I asked something on the forums that I kind of need the answer to before I do my battles in this round of the tournament. Thanks! 🙂
I can’t check it now, I’ll do when I get home in like 15 minutes! ^.^
OK that’s fine!
Okay so Silvadi has two CD drives (one on each cheek). Does that mean he can get a dual type?
One side he plays Screamo and the other side is Classical
I feel that it’s mostly just for aesthetics, but if it does I really want to set it to Fairy/Ground for coverage reasons.
That would be awesome…but also can you imagine the amount of database work serebii would have to do just to put it in his site pokedex? If my calculations are correct there are 171 different combinations of pokemon typings (not including swiched up typings.) That’d be a lot of work just for this pokemon lol
Just watched GameXplain’s questionnaire of Sun/Moon. Some important details are:
– EXP Share is gotten early in the game. It works similarly to X/Y and OR/AS.
– The game moves fast in the start! So, no slow beginnings like D/P/Pt.
– RIP D-Pad. The Circle Pad is the only way to move in the game as omnidirectional controls are fully supported and there is no grid. I’m quite sure the D-Pad will be a quick use for Selected Items.
Also, can I just say how much I love Type: Null and Jangmo-o’s evolutions! They look awesome! I love the first pseudo Dragon/Fighting type and the ability of Type: Null and it’s evolution to be any type. I’m guessing the trailer tomorrow will reveal it fully!
DAIKWNJZMEIGWK UAMVOFU IFOISKWIXKEK
Noooo Whyyy why the exp share
We should receive later in the game, not that early. Oh damn GF.
At least give us difficulty options please GF.
Easy should be X and Y
Normal should be like, Black and White
They said the difficulty seems rather decent or sorta easy in this game. Then again, they played only two hours. Making the game challenging and play it with the EXP Share off. That’s what I did! I only used it when I needed to train or gain levels.
For a hard mode, they could give us the Nuzlocke mode, not so bad I guess. But idk if GF would do that.
…..you can just turn it off though, when I went back to play the older games after XY/ORAS tbh I didn’t have as much fun because the grinding was way too much and pokemon got left in the dust.
Well I mean, I want the exp share from other gens not exp all. Share is still helpful but All just reduces is to being super easy
Yes! HG/SS are solid and great Pokemon games, but that’s why they’re my least favourite. Grinding was just annoying and it was hard to level up. B/W fixed this with Audino encounters because that was a seemingly large critism HG/SS received. I honestly see no issues with the New EXP Share. Just use it to train only!
The best thing for me personally is that EXP all eliminates you having one pokemon thats way over levelled compared to your others, in HGSS most people were getting EXP by switching in and out and there was always another pokemon getting way too much and being way higher than the others, and the same happened with the older EXP share. With EXP share all, all of your pokemon can be used as you wish and are around the same levels
I’m REEEEAAAALLLYYYY starting to get sick of listening to people whining about the EXP Share! If you don’t want to use the damn thing, TURN IT OFF!!!!! You can do that. I happen to LOVE the EXP Share, and I love the new function that it received in X and Y. I have always DESPISED my team being severely under leveled by the time I got to the elite 4/champion, so the EXP Share all was a god send for me. 😀
I really like it when they give it earlier I had horrific trouble with my team in B/W and I rage quit when I died at that bug psycho.
Technically we don’t know for sure that it’s the pseudo 😛
Can you put the spoiler tag on? I deliberately didn’t watch because these are things I don’t wanna know
Really? This is more of a general game mechanic than anything. I don’t think this warrants being a spoiler.
Exp share thing makes me ):
Fast start is good to hear, hopefully it doesn’t mean that it goes by too fast though
I only use the dpad for DS games anyway, so eh, no biggie.
Running thing is cool, but I could see it feeling weird.
– I’m fine with the EXP Share functioning like in the last games,even though it makes grinding your team too easy.At least it’s not a hold item like the old games,cause the EV boosting items and even the Lucky Egg are really useful for training pokemon.What GF should do though is for the EXP Share to have two options,have it boost the entire party or have a selected pokemon get the boost so people would stop complaining about overleveling their team
– Already like the fast pace from the sound of it
– Well darn….the rubber on my Circle Pad is badly worn off.I was really hoping that I can play with the D Pad….
– I will have my EXP.Share turned off.
– I like using the D-Pad quite a lot, not too happy not having that option, I guess they have good reason.
I’m really annoyed sneaking and the dexnav aren’t back, they’re exactly the kind of feature GF tend to axe after only featuring them in one remake, out of what seems to be only laziness, despite the feature being useful and well-loved.
YES! The EXP Share is early in the game! Earlier i level earlier I can use my pre-Oh yeah Pokemon Bank doesn’t work until january. Fiddlesticks! I wanted to bring in my shiny Azumaril, shiny Glaceon, and my regular Greninja!
Is Volcarona technically a pseudo legendary?
No cause its stats don’t equal 600 and it doesn’t evolve 3 times :/ Still amazing though
TIL what constitutes a Pokémon as a pseudo legendary
Yeah it’s kind of a fan constructed idea based on patterns. Also interesting is that Slaking is more powerful than most pseudos with a BST of 670 but its ability nerfs it. It still technically isn’t a pseudo though because its stats are more than 600.
Speaking of what constitutes a pseudo legend, there is another category called “semi-pseudo legend”. This category includes pokemon that are often mistaken for pseudo legendaries, because they are very close to being one. These include:
– Kingdra
– Slaking
– Agron
– Flygon
– And yes, Volcarona
You forget Haxorus, no?
Haxorus isn’t pseudo? Wow
Nope! Only:
-Dragonite
-Tyranitar
-Salamence
-Metagross (Gen 3 had two pseudos!)
-Garchomp
-Hydreigon
-Goodra
How could he…
I feel like people always think he is one, so I think he should be up there with the mistakens.
Yeah there’s a few more.
Do you think that we will can get one more pseudo-legendary?
Pseudo-legend was always a term fans invented to group a family of Pokemon with the following:
– 600 Base Stat
– 3 evolutionary chain
And aside from Goodra, all previous pseudo-legends had at least one type immunity.
Is Hydreigon a pseudo-legenday?
Yes, I messed up: Hydreigon, not Haxorus.
Oh sorry, nvm.
Sorry, forgot the epic Hydreigon existed. Shame on me.
Haxorus is not a pseudo.
I know, I fixed it.
Sorry! xD
No problem! ;D
nvm
It’s not one. Yet, I almost thought it was!
I don’t think so. It’s not three stages, and while strong, it’s not as strong as pseudos.
no
Jangmo-o’s evolutionary family LOOKS EPIC: the warlike headdress, the arms, the scales, the typing, THE COLORS! Finally a Dragon-type Pokemon that is unique (not saying other Dragon Pokemon are not, simply stating HOW unique it is).
my battle mojo is dying….
I hope Jangmo-o isn’t the pseudo-legend… too many Dragon-type pseudos we need something different. Only the following types have gotten pseudos:
– Dragon
– Flying
– Dark
– Rock
– Steel
– Psychic
– Ground
That’s just 7 types out of 18…
well they’re predominantly dragon
7 out of 18. But I know what you mean, it’s a 7 : 1.1
11
I can’t count today…. LOL
Definitely need something cooler with the pseudo legendaries. I don’t think Jararango is the pseudo this gen though. I think it’s like Haxorus, a three stage, stro png Pokemon but not the Pseudo legendary
What would you say your favorite new Pokémon is? I like Lurantis and Mimikyu… and Popplio3.. shoot
Salandit, Bewear and Dartrix
Mudsdale
Raw physical power and endurance
Lycanrock (Midday).
It’s crept up to tied #4 in my all time favourites list.
Popplio, Komala, Bounsweet, Minior and Mimikyu
Jangmo-o, Litten, Lycanroc and Oricorio (Baile Style)
Rowlet or Type: Null.
Lurantis, Rowlet3, Popplio3, and Jangmo-o line.
Vikavolt. I love its angry face, design, and typing.
I don’t get it, what is the “shoot” for?
Because I can’t find a favorite there are three 😛
Oh, I thought it had something to do with Popplio3. xD
Litten,Salandit,Jangmo-o,Drampa
Jararanga for me. If including alolan form.. Alolan Exeggutor
Alola Ninetales is my favorite Alolan form
It is quite fabolous. And can be quite the dragon killer.
Brionne and Palossand.
Why isn’t there a legendary Pokémon that’s poison type? Besides Arceus
Because history says, that GF hates poison type, end of story. It’s a fact, but also an injustice.
Alolan Grimer not legendary enough for you?
On a more serious note, we do need one. I want a Poison/Ice Type
What would it be based on? The only thing I can think of at the moment is the Greenland Shark.
Poison-type is underrated. Remember the hype surrounding Goomy possibly being Dragon/Poison? And Zygarde being the first Dragon/Poison type Pokemon and legend? Man, X/Y fell flat in terms of unqiue typings. Seems Sun/Moon are making up for that.
But X/Y gave us the legendary Ghost/Steel typing.
And Rock/Ice, Rock/Dragon, Dragon/Poison
I thought everyone thought Zygarde would be bug/dragon?
Zygarde should have been Bug/Ground.
Right? :/ But I guess ground makes sense given its role w/ the environment
no it’s a freaking snake how could anybody get bug
what is with you yahoos wanting all ground/Dragons bugs
It’s a snake? Looks like a giant Worm to me.
http://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/thumb/3/3a/718Zygarde.png/250px-718Zygarde.png
it’s clearly a snake,
Definitely a Flat Worm from this angle.
i’m just going to continue to resent you
That too. The two biggest ones were: Dragon/Bug and Dragon/Poison.
XY fell flat in terms of Poison typings.
FTFY
XY fell flat on almost everything
FTFY
Gen 6 fell flat on almost everything
FTFY
Don’t screw this one up game freak
FTFY
I’m so scared for Gen 7.
FTFY
X/Y fell flat on almost everything TBH IMO.
Drapion is the best Poison type… and that’s because it’s also Dark type.
mehhhh it’s good but not a major threat
that’s why we need my Poison legend
Toxigeddon
Poison/ground
The Pollution PKM
Ability: Smog Zone: Changes weather to Smog, Pokemon have a 30% to be Badly Poisoned
immagine a massive mound of purplish black sludge with thick arms, 3 large glowing green eyes, large smokestack like pipes jutting out its back spewing out smog, a dripping vile maw, and sludgey flippers
“A Pokemon born by the carelessness of human pollution, Toxigeddon’s vile smoke can cause entire forests and jungles to wither and die”
it’s counterpart is my Lifegiver pokemon Gaiasis
Gaiasis
Debating Grass/Flying or Grass/psychic
The Purity PKM
a large Plant bird with a massive wingspan, each feather is an individual colored petal and it’s face is similar to a Bird of Paradise plant
Smog Zone is OP
no shit, its a towing monstrosity of pure pollution constantly spewing out top grade bio-hazardous fumes
it must be feared and this ability reflects that
Skuntank looks like it has two faces
https://img.pokemondb.net/sprites/platinum/normal/skuntank.png
I want a Fairy Pokemon as a pseudo, something divine and feminine almost like an Ophanim (one of the highest positions of an angel), and yet just looks epic.
“This Pokemon is thought to only come when great trouble arises, bringing with it light and all that is good. Sightings of this Pokemon, known as a guardian in some parts are rare, but those who do see it are considered tk be forever annointed. It is said that to win the heart of this Pokemon means eternal happiness and luck.”
We should get a Bug, Poison, or Ice pseudo.
I want a bug pseudo. Something to be the king to Volcarona’s queen.
Volcorona must be the lonely jester then… xD
cutiefly!
I really hope it has another evo and turns out awesome
This gen has so many great fairy types
Tape Koko
Cutiefly
Popplio3(I mean come on it’s totally fairy)
Alolan Ninetales
And perfect baby Mimikyu
Don’t forget Morelull, I really hope Cutiefly has a 3rd evolution and that Morelull has at least one really nice one, I cant wait to see the other Deities
I really hope they save them for the main game though. I’m jumping ship when Tapus are revealed or the demo is data mined. Whichever comes first
This gen has too many meh fairy types.
FTFY
all of them. all of them must die a slow and agonizing death
That sounds more like a Mythical/Legendary Pokemon. Pseudo legends are normal Pokemon that anyone can have, they are just slightly stronger than most other Pokemon.
Personally I want a Poison/Ice type Pseudo Legendary. With the ability Snow Warning and an update to Hail making it give Ice Types a 50% boost to defence.
If Ash can see legendary Pokemon and witness the birth of legendary Pokemon themselves, so can anyone.
how would that type combo ever come to fruition with such an ability, how would any of that work?
What the hell does the type combo have anything to do with the ability.
How does an Ice/Grass yeti summon Hail? How does a Rock/Ice dinosaur summon Hail? How does Godzilla summon a Sandstorm? Please explain this shit to me.
i mean Abomasnow is literally a snow monster so snowstorms are to follow
Aurorus’s main ability is Refrigerate, so HA aren’t too on the nose but don’t forget their crystals can freeze stuff
Face it, it doesn’t have to make sense. The only thing weather summoning abilities need is for the Pokemon to be of the same type as the weather (bar Groudon of course)
I want an Ice/Poison type cos it’s a unique type combination and it’s not a Dragon. Granted it will have 5 weaknesses, but I want a buffed Hail to help it out, in the same vain as Tyranitar.
i hear ya, but i personally just can’t see ice/poison flowing organically they’re just very different types
It could be based on a Greenland Shark, their flesh is poisonous and they live in Arctic waters.
Or like a Valkyrie Pokémon! Dang it GF make this happen
I want a Fairy/Dragon hybrid. It could be a Pixie + Dragon mixture, with two septette evolution lines, connecting at the final one. Fairy line could have a baby pixie, followed by a medium pixie with the dragon-type’s features scattered all around, and vice versa.
My personal hope is Fairy/Dark or Fairy/Dragon
That moment Sun/Moon already has more type variety than X/Y’s entire ‘dex. Although X/Y was a fun adventure, I guess the transition to 3D halted the developments that could be made.
If Tomorrow is bad…… https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/9e2c887b879af6c094c90291bd7da4ed70c54727dde9603f9dcc09034806a460.png
I know what comic this is from and I roust realized Brionne is literally me
Edited for minor text fixes
Oh yeah, I forgot that we have news tomorrow. 😀
wait we have news tomorrow?
Guzma: Funny how we were both outcasts of the system: failures who never completed the Island Challenge. Cowards.
Kukui: Yet our paths differed thereafter. Guzma, can you not see?! Are you so blinded that you turn an eye to the suffering of Pokemon?! OPEN YOUR EYES!
Guzma: This system, Kukui, is corrupt. This world is… broken, just fragments of what it once was.
Kukui:And you think what you’ve done will solve this?! Guzma, you-
Guzma: You don’t understand the humiliation! You’re the diamond in the rough! You never went through what I did! You don’t know! Hmph! I see you too have been corrupted by this system!
Kukui: Guzma…
Guzma: Enough of this! From this day on, I will no longer feel pain. No longer be ashamed! Solgaleo! Lunala! Open the gates of heaven and lead me to happiness. Kukui, I’m selfish, I’m bitter, I know. But let me have one, just ONE chance at MY happiness. *Jumps into the dimensional portal created by Solgaleo and Lunala*
That’d be great, but it’s probably way less dramatic than that. IDK though, the story is shaping up pretty well.
I think Guzma is right.
Kukui is just a part of a broken system. Shame on him.
He can be part of the broken systèm on my characters face
Not really his fault though
the 50 Q&A said that Team Skull is gonna be hilarious to deal with
i mean Evil organization grunts are stupid on their own way but these punks are actually trying to be low life punks and i find that very amusing
http://2.media.dorkly.cvcdn.com/76/98/718ba3009eb52f98009f6eb3b9c81747.jpg
What q&a?
I believe they are refering to the Q&A Gamexplain uploaded earlier today. They got to play the first 2 hours of Pokémon Sun. I recommend you watch it if you haven’t.
We’re goona have a new start Morty! We -urp- were goona pick up your little friend Lillie and you two are going to repopulate the planet it’s goona be like -urp- like Adam and Eve
OH JEEZ RICk
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3wnyAicEkz0
GREAT video.
It’s interesting how Ash mentions re-battling trainers. Maybe he’s hallucinating??
Right, down the the most important question…
Aether Foundation or Team Skull?
AF for me *darts eyes at Lusamine*
Team Skull just for the beanie.
But sweaters
Necklace, as well.
Sweaters though so
Sweaters are important… Mix and match? 😉
AF. Team Skull look like they’re homeless
Team Skull, because I hate science.
I found these. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iOIK8mFqdHU

PRECIOUS POPPLIO
so cute
Popplio is adorable. I hope the rest of it’s evolution line doesn’t forsake it bubble acrobatic skills it rocks! 😀
It’s final evolution is perfect
I hope so… But those spikes on its sides don’t look very bubble friendly! haha. 😛
I’m glad Poppoilio’s evolution line is going for a more elegant way not like innocent old Piplup which just uglified. Poppolio = Piplup done right!
Piplup was done right the first time. . .
Not really Prinplup was ugly and Empoleon had a weird typing.
To each their own I guess.
I guess so.
Well, elegance is nice, however I’m not sure why GF would have popplio go from acrobatics to dancing to singing(Siren). I just hope the final evolution can somehow incorporate all three of those aspects.
I had heard that there’s a little cinema scene after you choose your starter where it basically makes it seem like the starter has to think about whether it actually WANTS to go with you or not. I love that! Seems like these games have a bunch of small and big details to set themselves apart from past entries. Which it is awesome!! lol
Player(avoided all spoilers): I choose you Litten!
Litten: *sigh* I’ll only disappoint you
I would honestly not have been disappointed
so is the end game credits the starters holding you now
Haha can’t wait till the demo gets severely datamined and leaks the whole game after all the effort they put into the press taster info being controlled… :'(
Seriously though it’s kind of scary that’s probably what’ll happen, honestly only GF could put themselves in such ironic and frustrating situations for the simple reason that that’s how they roll…
It’s not like it needed the demo publicity anyway.
What if it gets datamined and nothing is in there?
Could very well happen, but it’s extremely unlikely because of the amount of effort it would take. Fingers crossed though.
I hope not. I know gamefreak knows ORAS was leaked through so they wouldnt do it for sun and moon
I hope you’re right, but this is GF we’re talking about here. But part of he is holding onto the hope that they’ve learned from their mistakes.
*me
This guy call himself a leaker but u don’t have to believe him. http://i.4cdn.org/vp/1476405560846.png
The orbit minior thing is cool, I really hate the snowman. I really hope this isn’t real, that would be horrible to have that thing be the only ice type.
Other guy try to re drawing them maybe looks better now…..I like the snow man here. http://is.4chan.org/vp/1476404757651.jpg
Hey who does this guy claim to be? By this I mean what story is he telling to make people believe him?
No story…just leaking.
Hmm. Probs just art then.
Also I hope Marshadow is part of the plot, I really hate what they did with Zygarde, and chances are there’s no third version at this point. Also coccoon seems unlikely considering that Yveltal just had a coccoon form one gen ago.
I like this Marshadow concept it looks like a dark hall or plants swallower.
The concept is very cool, yeah, but I hope it doesn’t take a backseat in these games.
I really like a lot of these, especially the Cutiefly evo, Pikipek evo, and the Morelull evo.
No water/psychic dolophin though, instead it would be flying/fairy according to this
RIP
Are the things on the right the fossils? I really like the spider thing.
I believe it’s Wimpod evo.
Oh, I see it. But shouldn’t it be blue?
yeah he talked about that ……but these looks closer to Wimpod.
The knight one is supposed to be the Wimpod evo
http://boards.4chan.org/vp/thread/29108570#p29108644
Having Alolan Seadra would be weird, though I like the design. Would it just be unable to evolve or something?
NO KOMALA 🙁
Are you kidding the drummer looks great!
I mean its a cool concept but like the leaker badly drew
These are all pretty dang cool, I could get behind these! (except alolan persian, dunno wtf is wrong with it but this doesn’t make it look good.
Orthocere and Eurypterid fossils, count me in!
Yeah, but if Morelull evo looks like this I will give up on it.
This person isn’t much of an artist but I could see this being legit
Marshadow based on Ouroborus yet isn’t a dragon or a snake..? Idk, man.
I always want a Ouroborus legendary pkmn …but I don’t mind the scorpion.
I just hope Wimpod remains Bug/Water, I don’t want that type taken away AGAIN, looking at you Surskit ¬_¬
Stupid Masquerain should’ve still been Bug/Water
I don’t really see why it couldn’t have been. Just because it can fly.
Exactly. They love to throw around flying type on bug pokemon that don’t need it.
This wat real bug life circle looks like…..larvae should stay on water and leave it when grow up.
Still could’ve been water type.
Being able to fly doesn’t mean it needs the Flying type. It can’t learn Fly. Venomoth, Beedrill, Dustox, Volbeat, Illumise, Volcarona, all can Fly (Volcarona actually can learn it) yet none have the Flying type. I agree that it should follow a real life bug cycle, I don’t particularly agree with the Type change.
then they should choose a bug actually can live in the water.
Well it can live around water, Surskit is a Water Strider so technically only lives on top of it.
I love that Cutiefly evolution
More like Beautifly. Oh wait. . .
Shoot if this is real then I’m goona have to say goodbye to Ninetails
So..who will take it place?
Cutiefly of course 😛
I thought u choose Cutiefly at the beginning.
No, but I might if it turns into this goddess.
I don’t like it becoming so humanoid. But I guess the second evo does stand up. :/
NER ITZ TER FEMERNEREN!
Lol now I’m just imagining Cutiefly with a huge muscular body
That’s what UB-02 Absorption really is.
OH MY GOD
I want this to be real so bad
I want it to be real just for Marshadow and maybe Salandit.
!!!! I love Salandit too!! Salandit and Cutiefly are the best
Salandit looks fake. It doesn’t even have legs…how is that lizard-like?
It’s supposed to be like Medusa (can’t think of what they’re called)
Gorgon
Yep that’s it
I can’t see there being a gorgon inspired pokemon without it being part of a trio. Also, why would a salamander represent madusa best?
It has a few cool things but like half of it is disgusting. What have they done to Pikipek? Why does Bounsweet look so happy with being turned into a drink?
Bounsweet was lobotomized.
If it’s real they probably look better than these MSpaint drawings
I know, but I have a gut feeling it’s fake (and I hope it is). Sadly we won’t have to speculate much longer.
Well with the demo coming soon, we’ll see lots of new evolutions
And we’ll see lots of datamining. 🙁
Let’s hope there isn’t much to mine
These are so out of the box and all clearly take what pokemon does best: a little scale or wing here or a stripe there and then expands on it in the evo. These just might be real.
hopefully they arent real, I do like them all that much… (considering the bad drawing skills)
I have no interest in Pokken Tournament as it has too little Pokemon, and them just adding 1 at a time seems too painful.
when ur stuck between 6 pokemon now for your sixth spot….
What have you got so far?
Lycanroc Midnight
Crabrawler
Lurantis
PomPom Oricorio
Alolan Grimer
Jangmo-o
What are you stuck on for the Sixth then?
oh wait those are 6, heres my team
Litten
Komala
Mudsdale
Bruxish
Alolan Marowak
Oricorio!
Litten may end up part Dark, so that’d count out Alolan Grimer if you don’t like having 2 of the same type, but then I see you are using Alolan Marowak so I guess that doesn’t bother you. Personally I think you could do with a fighting type, so one of those maybe?
I was thinking that the only reason i was gonna go go grass because it covers my water type weakness.
You have enough that will take neutral hits from Water types, and deal neutral hits back. Also you may find you gain coverage moves.
thats true. i might go crabrawler or Jangmo-o
Really depends on what you like. Maybe try them out when you can and choose that way?
Lurantis duh
is it for coverage or u just love lurantis 😛
I adore it but yeah it does give good coverage
fair enough.
Pick Jangmo-o or Oricorio.
SO MANY OPINIONS AHHHH
Let me spell this out for you:
J-A-N-G-M-O—O or O-R-I-C-O-R-I-O
BACON LEGS
More like clown pants.
Pom Pom Oricorio or Lurantis
When you’re buying both games.
My teams are:
SUN (primary game):
– Rowlet
– Salandit
– Jangmo-o
– Lycanroc
– Oriocrio
– Mimikyu (or Shiruvadi if it’s available, but probably not)
MOON:
– Popplio/Litten
– Komala
– Alolan Marowak
– Alolan Raichu
– Minior
Im getting both but im planning my moon team before anything else
This likely won’t go as planned anyway, I’ll probably want to use surprise pokemon.
Yea sometimes i change last minute
Well damn it was just brought to my attention that Shiruvadi has ears lol
Definitely my favorite Sea Lion xD Naming it Kesha or Lady Gaga or Katy Perry or idk
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/9e2c887b879af6c094c90291bd7da4ed70c54727dde9603f9dcc09034806a460.png
I’m naming it Minuet
I’m naming mine Brioche.
So.. you don’t like it or…
Nah Brioche is great
Ok good. 😀
I’m naming mine Pagliacci. 🙂
It’s too bad it’s only cute when it’s sad like this. xD
For my Moon Team:
Popplio (or Rowlet)
Mimikyu
Jangmo-o
Type:Null
Oranguru
Cutiefly?
I don’t think Type: Null is going to be so easy to get.
I hope it can breed, I want to play through the game with one. Though if it has an evo it has to breed, living dex stuff and all.
You may get lucky with Wondertrade (assuming that’s back).
Wasn’t there an early leak saying there was a cat pokemon you can breed to be different types or something? Maybe that was supposed to be Type:Null. Even if it can’t breed or something, I’m getting Sun&Moon so I’ll have it and its evo for my living dex.
What type will you make Type:Null? Or will you change it around? (depending on how it works).
You could do a strictly type:null playthrough lol
Depending on how you get it and also how you get the different types, yeah 🙂
I’m going to primarily use Ghost or Poison.
Why those in particular?
Poison is my favorite type.
Ghost would look cool on it’s mane thing.
Which is why I will obsessively cycle through re-typing it every type to find the one that looks best to me 😉
Omg Scizor in Pokken! Wow!
Does anyone even own this game??
I played it once
Nope.
I do, it was pretty fun for a while, but it wasn’t gauging my interest enough for me to stick with it for too long. The phase mechanic was a hinderance to the gameply IMO.
This is why I lost interest in video games in general. If I feel that I’ll get bored of it fast, I wouldn’t get it. Not even for the short fun experience I’d have at the beginning.
Only pokemon and animal crossing games for me xD
Pls feel free to recommend any others
Fire Emblem is a ton of fun.
Undertale is short, sweet and heartwarming. Like a childhood storybook
Like a childhood storybook
You say that as I lose for the millionth time to you-know-who.
That was your choice you know
It was a choice I stand by. Gotta get all of the storylines, can’t stop just because I got the “canon” ending.
I’m not going to act like I didn’t do the same but you can back out whenever
I kinda already did. I got tired of losing and just kinda stopped, but I’ll come back to it eventually. It’s an acheivment that marks my skill as a gamer, can’t pass that up.
you-know-who… Voldemort?
Played it
Did Pacifist
Yay <3
Try cave story then! Kinda similar to Undertale but it's a fast paced shooter platformer with an awesome story and memorable characters. The original version is completely free or the delux version is 15$ on steam with improved graphics, music, controller support and challenge modes
I wanted to buy it on 3ds but idk why i never did. I dont hae steam because apparently to make your account legit you have to buy a game and Im not about that life.
3ds version is over priced as heck. You can just get the original game + the English patch
Torrent? If there is one I wouldn’t mind getting it
No when it was released it was made completely free! The paid wii, ds, steam and 3D versions came later. If you just google it you’ll find it
What Pokémon or Pokémon line do you think you are most similar too personality wise? I kinda relate to Brionne in some ways
Type: Null, if you bend the meaning a little bit. I’m really shy (have a mask on) when you first get to know me, but after I’ve gotten to know someone I become really outgoing (helmet bursting off) and it’s like I’m not even the same person (evolution).
Aww I like that!
That or snorlax, because I’m really lazy. xD
😛
Wimpod. I’m timid, but very curious and adventurous.
Mimikyu. I’m a bit shy but all I want is to be someone’s friend.
Maybe turtwig’s line. I’m a pretty happy carefree person but I’m also dependable, calm, and grounded.
My first shiny hunted Pokémon with my shiny charm. 🙂

Swagold!
SWAGOLD
Or, as some say, Swayellow. Swayelo looks better though.
Swag is probably my favorite adjective right now. lmao So you’re speaking my language.
Well, the pun is on how it isn’t blue anymore, but yeah, that works too! xD
Isn’t swag primarily used as a noun though? 😛
Well I use it interchangeably with “sweet” or “cool”
That’s mine!
Swayelo is much cooler sounding!
Swagold begs to differ xD
Congrats! Was filling the dex fun? I really enjoyed doing mine
Yea! It’s actually been like a lifetime process. I have Pokémon from Colosseum and the GBA games in my living dex. Very proud of that. I would have finished it years ago if I hadn’t lost my White version with all my gen 4 and 5 Pokémon on it. But with Sun and Moon around the corner I buckled down and got it done!
Oh wow! I’m jealous of the GBA Pokemon! I’m planning on doing a living dex in Sun and Moon!
Me too, it’ll be a ton of fun trying to catch them all the real way. I treated it like a chore in gen 6 to get the shiny charm, and it was super unfulfilling.
Getting the little crowns on the dex nav in ORAS was so satisfying
That was definitely one of my favorite parts of completing the dex
Did you find shinies along the way? I found a shiny yanma in a horde
Actually prior to this Swablu the only shiny I have ever encountered by chance is a Zigzagoon in a horde while EV training. But I have the shiny Dragonite and Haxorus from White 2 which I’m very proud of.
One of my favorites is Weavile that was originally Sneasal from Colosseam. So cool to think how many games it’s traveled and gained the ability to evolve. Haha
“Catching them all” was so much fun in gen 6, I had people here trade me like half the dex. xD (The fun part is sarcasm by the way.) I’m planning to do it from the bottom up, all by myself in gen 7.
Nice Master Ball 😉
But for real, a Quick Ball probably would have done the trick
Congratulations though!
For a second I thought you were implying a hack. I thought he said he bred it, whoops. xD
im always scared I’ll use the master ball and regret it and now that I have all the Pokémon I figured now was as good a time as ever lol
I still have mine from X, AS and I think Y
I remember I came across a random Shiny Altaria in Pokemon White. That was probably the most nerve wracking thing ever! Congrats 🙂
Nice, congratulations, I love my Shiny Mega Altaria. Are you going to evolve yours?
Heck yea. Gotta get that Shiny Mega <3
Awesome find, personally I would have used a heal ball like my own shiny altaria but to each their own
I didn’t really prep on that end of things and then realized I finally had a reason to use my Master Ball. So I just said fuck it lol
(But the Heal Ball is one of my favs)
Mine is in Dream because I MM’d it. I also have a random horde Swablu in Ultra.
You may or may not have been here when this joke was prominent, but CAN YOU BELIEVE IT’S NOT BUTTER?!?
http://i0.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/facebook/001/092/948/a17.jpg
THAT’S A CHEAP RIPOFF!!!!!
http://i1.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/001/092/955/5bb.jpg
NOOOO!!!
WHO ARE YOU PEOPLE?!? (R https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/e2aea4cd8b81ca292c814af22c6c7d37d99dc00425e97a41147fba9cd00c3495.jpg efresh)
I laughed IRL when I read that, and now the whole room is super awkward. I don’t know if anyone can relate to that or if I’m not making any sense here.
Try to explain what you were laughing at and just slowly realize nobody understands and you are just babbling
My life in a nutshell
Or try to turn it into a cough but it doesn’t work. xD
Me in math class
Could you say the you can’t believe it’s not you can’t believe it’s not butter? 😀
U N B E L I E V E A B L E
lol I was not. But that still made me laugh? xD
Congratulations! My favorite Pokemon ^_^
I’m goona try to use in in Black 2
Do it! I’m debating using one again in Moon, I seem to always use one if available.
Any nickname suggestions?
My 6 are nicknamed: Swagold, Altair, Shen, Swabu, Floof, Fluffles.
I’m not that creative when it comes to nicknames haha xD Heck I named a Shiny Litwick “Glue.”
Omg Litwik has my favorite nickname ever. I named mine “Wicked”
Nice and fitting! 😀
Does it bring back those Swagold memories? xD
Hell yeah xD I actually have 4 Shiny Altaria and 2 Shiny Swablu now xD 3 of them are competitive, including Swagold, but serve different competitive purposes.
Ooh, that’s a lot. How many eggs to did they all take you combined? 😮
Oh God I wouldn’t even know. 3 of them were intentionally bred, one hatched accidentally, and the other 2 were horde encounters.
my favorite mega pokemon. I do like the original colors better.
Does anybody remember that fake leak back in the ORAS days that said you would go to the moon and catch Jirachi? Was almost kinda close to reality
I tried so hard in RSE to get to the moon for Jirachi, that was a rumor going around my school. They said if some number in the mossdeep space center got to 100, you could travel to the moon. Can’t remember specifics.
Can someone explain to me how a bandit evolves into Medusa? Earthen? I can’t believe that’s what’ll happen to it. Then again, there’s alolan raichu so any dumb thing under the sun is possible.
Should I even bring up Samurott?
It’s best to never mention Samurott xD
ThT creature has grown on me immensely. It might be my fav of the three.
I love Serperior so much. Not a fan of the typing but it’s so beautiful.
It’s so regal. And Contrary + Leaf Storm
The leaves (on torso and tail) don’t seem to come from anywhere and that bugs me. They’re half assed compared to other leaves on grass starters.
Explain what you mean by come from nowhere.
Like they just look tacked on instead of actually looking like they originate from its skin. Like theyre taped on.
Some gen 5 pokemon are like that though. A little sloppy. Like if you look at excadrill’s dreamworld art, the lines for his toes go all the way through the foot along the underside. What’s up with that?
Idk, I mean it makes sense though. Snivy and Servine have leaves on their tails.
It’s just a Fleur-de-lis its to emphasize its monarch like appearance
its shiny form is imo the best starter shiny, I love its colours
I really like Shiny Snivy. Am I lame though if I say I like Shiny Charizard the best? >.<
no not at all, I have one myself
Only problem with the Snivy line is it’s learnset tbh
Yeah, that’s what pure grass type will do for you. It still could’ve used a better movepool though.
At least it has Contrary and Leaf Storm.
And glare is nice as an egg move
Mine has Contrary: Leaf Storm, Hidden Power Fire, Glare and Dragon Pulse. All does quite well after a Leaf Storm Contrary boost.
Or Litten3? Or Rowlet3? Or Poppli- I’ll stop myself there. You get the picture.
Samurott doesn’t count because it was settled
I really liked Earthens’ idea for it’s evolution, it followed it’s theme really well. If he doesn’t comment I’ll try and find what he came up with.
Not even the luring people part works. Medusa doesn’t do that
If it’s even real, or the riddle was even about that.
Well didn’t the Chinese leaker we all love and trust hint at it?
I don’t, but I know who you are referring to. There were 4 pictures, the lure isn’t necessarily the thing being hinted at.
That’s the riddler not the original Chinese leaker
Riddler is chinese. But that’s beside the point.
I wasn’t sure which one we were referring to or if we were getting mixed up or what
I do mean the riddler, but I thought people referred to him as the Chinese leaker. I guess there are two?
The leaker leaked the evolutions and a bunch of information including no gyms and Z moves. Riddler is the riddler
Oh, well they’re both Chinese though. I guess that’s what I got confused.
I thought the riddler was the one that suggested a Medusa evolution. It’s hard to keep up with all these ‘leakers’.
It was. The original leaker doesn’t post anything anymore
What are you going on about
Well the riddler hinted at a medusa type evolution for Salandit and down below another “leaker” has drawings of some purported alolan pokemon.
And you’re believing it? That’s dumb
the salt is real
https://trademarks.justia.com/media/image.php?serial=77798829
Uh no. I’m trying to poke holes in it.
Instead of it turning into Medusa esque evolution it might just get the ability to turn things to stone on sight.
You do realize that Salandit isn’t really a bandit?
All its dex entries state its toxicity and flames and how it uses cunning tactics to overturn battles nothing on stealing or deception unless you count its roguish intellect, honestly it’s just a name
and I keep telling you that riddler is a load of crock
….Okay but it’s name is Bandit + Salamander and it also is wearing a bandit mask.
Yes it has bandit incorporated in its name
But those are just god damn frills on its neck that give it the look
Oh don’t cut me that bullshit. Its face is supposed to resemble a bandit mask. Don’t even try to refute this. Its inspiration is a bandit.
And what bandity things has it done
Who gives a shit? It doesn’t have to be a bandit to look like one. We haven’t even seen the ingame dex entries either.
It stole the hearts and minds of many (not literally, that would be awful).
Probably learns Theif and has Pickpocket as a hidden ability.
OH MY GOD I JUST FOUND SOMETHING ON BULBAPEDIA ABOUT THE MOSSDEEP SPACE CENTER RUMOR!! So it wasn’t just something my school made up I guess? That’s pretty cool actually, I had no idea.
Yeah I think I heard about that
That’s so odd, this whole time I thought my friend made it up to throw me off.
It probably spread through the early(ish) internet like the Mew truck thing
I did the same thing, because I saw it online somewhere, and when I finally got to 100 and nothing happened I was so upset lol
Day 3 of skourpi done. no red scorpion yet.
How many eggs?
not eggs dex nav… so many fainted skourpi….
Oh. Rip in Poison sting
I don’t have a problem with the final evos of the starters, but I hope Rowlet’s will have a flat face like a barn owl
Barn Owls have Concave faces, like all owls, not that flat really.
You sure you mean concave and not convex?
http://www.concretecountertopinstitute.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/concave_convex_molds.jpg
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Facial_disc
Eh, I guess, it’s only slightly concave though
I was imagining this:
https://tomsreiseblogg.files.wordpress.com/2013/11/20131112-180958.jpg
Oh I see, yeah not quite that drastic XD
Owls have concave facial disks.
Too slow.
I was trying to hatch eggs with my o-power on so I blame that

So it will become brave now. http://i.4cdn.org/vp/1476411584950.png
Looks like a bug type to me.
Ooo is this supposed to be wimpods evo?
yupe.
If it becomes this I may well use it, as long as the type stays the same. Also depends if Pyukumuku evolves and what into.
This is so clever I want it to be real
Clever?….did u mean the coward person build himself to become a brave warrior?(I would like if pkmn characters evo have a psychological background).
I mean I guess but the knight is so cool
That’s the sort of explanation I’d expect 🙂
So, am I the only one disappointed with the corocoro reveals?
What disappoints you?
Everything but the new trial captain, to whom I am neutral.
Maybe they will grow on you? I think Alolan Grimer was the worst part of it.
Doubtful, I didn’t like Type: Null to begin with, removing the mask did it no favours.
As for Jangmo-o’s line, they turned it into a sequin dress. I suppose that proves it’s the pseudo though.
I quite like Type:Null and it’s intriguing evolution.
It’s a form of plate armour, I forget what it’s called. I think the bit on the back of the head shouldn’t have gaps in it but there’s obviously a reason.
I think it looks more like a digimon than a pokemon.
I dislike when people say that. To each their own, perhaps you’ll like them more when you see them in action?
It’s true though, it does look more like what I’d expect from digimon than from pokemon. The style is very different from pokemon even from the same region. Looking at the ones that got released early: Komala, Crabrawler, Bruxish, Drampa etc, and then at Type: Null and even Jangmo-o’s evolutions to a degree, there’s a large style difference.
Jangmo-o’s evolution and Tortinator are heavily in the same style
Different style =/= Digimon. I love both, and I like this Pokémon, so maybe I just don’t see it as much as you do.
Type: Null evolving is really interesting. Did them putting the helmet on it cause it to evolve? It’s all very peculiar.
Eh, I’m not really that interested in Type: Null’s design or lore.
That said, shouldn’t that be the other way around, removing the helmet made it evolve?
Well if they created it, something had to trigger its evolution. Mewtwo was created but doesn’t evolve. So I think keeping its powers locked down like that is what the catalyst for it evolving was. Idk, it’s a weird situation.
Mewtwo is a straight clone though, so that probably makes it different.
We don’t know quite how they made it either.
I still think it should have been a form change rather than an evolution, it looks more like a form change.
That’s true. I want to see where they go with it. Kind of a weird subplot to have in the mix
Mewtwo is an enhanced power clone, not straight clone. It doesn’t seem to contain the D.N.A of other Pokémon though, if that’s what you meant.
Point is, the majority of its DNA is copied from something that can’t evolve. Evolution isn’t in its DNA.
That’s true, Mew can’t evolve, but Mew also supposedly contains the DNA of all pokemon so evolution is in its DNA, no?
Who is to say that evolution is a natural occurance. Maybe there was an event that caused pokemon to evolve.
I guess we really don’t know anything.
I wish they’d actually explain it someday.
Running from it forever is lame.
Yeah they should call it unleashed form in my opinion but that will not make me hate him or even disappointed …cuz I am pretty sure the dex entry will have a good explanation.
Oh man that sounds awesome! They tried to limit its power!
My theory is that evolution may not have been in the cards for them when they designed it. I think it may have been an unintended side effect that arose from Type:Null’s sheer will to break free of its bondage when a trainer actually cared for it and showed it that it can be something more. Idk. Just me bullshitting.
That sounds really cliché but it’s probably true.
My theory reminds me of how Daenerys was able to hatch her dragons haha
But the only thing that doesn’t fit with me is we see Gladion putting discs in its head so it seems maybe they planned for this. The more I think about it the more it bothers me
Or it can use the discs before somehow?
Slot in the helmet possibly.
Or he just throws them at it and hope it does something, that’s why he’s so mad.
No cause they say the helmet hinders its ability..so it can’t but they knew about it and still put the helmet on anyway.
Maybe he just thinks they’re fashionable.
Hrm, they might have planned for it.
Depends who made it.
Maybe someone made it with the intention of someone bonding with it as a test that humans could be kind to an artificial pokemon. Would certainly explain the ugliness.
That’s plausible as well. But that also begs the question as to why they would also do that test on the pokemon they created to fight legendary pokemon (most likely arceus, the similarities are undeniable)
We don’t even know who created it. People are just assuming it was Team Skull or the Aether Foundation.
We don’t actually know what its mission is either to be honest, just that it needed power that could rival the legendaries.
I think that sounds very plausible tbh.
I’m not disappointed it feels right to just get a little bit of news this close to release. I’m not trying to be mean but people now a days want big news but then they get it and get upset that the game is ruined for them.
I’m not upset that we got news, I’m disappointed at what the news is.
This generation has had some very positive things, but also some very negative things. The closer we get to release, the more the positives are begining to dwindle and the negatives are begining to grow.
I understand what you mean about the news like my friend really really hated that they show type: null’s evolution he said it would of been better if they left it a secret to find out in the game especially after he read that the mask held back its power he said it really interested him, but he went more s&@t crazy when he saw jangmo-o’s evo he felt they spoiled something big for him
I’m not worried about the pokemon themselves being spoiled since there’s still plenty of mystery (e.g. we only know the names of two locations: Verdant Cavern and Lush Forest). And we don’t know how anything evolves.
I’m only disappointed at the news itself, I don’t like the designs.
Yeah but are you expecting anything from tomorrow’s news or you think we’ll get the same info from corocoro
Probably mostly the same with maybe one or two extra things, like hopefully Cutiefly’s evolved form.
Yeah I been waiting for that since we saw it on the trailer I’m at least hoping for another new mon
Yeah, I’m really hoping for it too, it’s much better than some of the other stuff they’ve been showing.
People can’t make up their minds,just pick one thing.You either want a lot of news and spoilers or you do not
Again, I’m not disappointed at getting news, I’m disappointed at the news.
If anything I’m thankful I’m disappointed now rather than being disappointed whilst playing the game.
Yeah that’s what I said friend wanted to get news and when he got he was all but hurt
Yes u r.
I get the impression that was intended to upset me. It doesn’t.
I am not intended to upset anybody.
I would be if it wasn’t for Ilima
I’m neutral towards Ilima, but agree that they’re better than the other news.
Idk what I love so much about them! I do like colored hair so maybe it’s the pink hair
The pink hair is one of the bits I dislike ironically.
So bright and fabulous though :3
Dyed hair is really common though, especially pink.
Whitney, Maylene, Malva, Plumeria, Female Team Skull Grunts etc
And Courtney
And Tucker.
And Yancy
Don’t forget Nurse Joy!
But Nurse Joy isn’t as cute as Courtney or Yancy so that’s beyond the point
Depends on which one…
Oh yeah the unova one is pretty
I kinda prefer one from before gen 5.
The point is the number of characters with pink hair, not which characters are cute or not.
Ok but I’m trying to figure out why I like Ilima so much. I think. Not sure really
So ur not confusing about the gender?
I only omitted her because she only appears in the anime, but I suppose technically the pokemon centre attendants usually have pink hair.
Thought they were called Joy in the games too.
The only dialogue from them is for the service they provide as far as I can tell. They might have named them joy in yellow or something but I don’t think they ever have since.
Yeah only yellow afaik, still counts though imo.
Again, that’s kind of purple, or they can’t make up their mind.
Yeah I’d never seen his official art until just now. I was going off the appearance of his sprite.
They probably picked a different colour for his sprite because of limitations in the GBA’s colour palette or something. I dunno, I can’t remember the specs for the GBA’s graphics capabilities.
I thought Courtney’s hair was purple
Close enough??
It’s definitely purple, it’s darker than magenta.

I so nearly earned my first Battle Maison trophy, but the next to last trainer got three Protects in a row while I was poisoned (Toxic). ;-;
Which are you doing and what’s your team? Do you have any healing options?
I wasn’t expecting to win; I was just trying out some new Pokemon, but they got me closer to winning than I’ve ever been. I don’t want to go into detail on my team because I’m going to be using them in the Pokejungle Tournament, but the Pokemon that was poisoned had Drain Punch. Although I couldn’t use it because of the dang Protect!!
And it was Singles, btw.
Was it your last ‘mon? Did it not have a helpful item?
We were both down to our last, and its item was its mega stone, so.. :p
That narrows it down to like 2 btw. Well anyway well done on getting that far 🙂
It’s just one move revealed though. If anyone cares to narrow it down further then I can only respect my opponent for his dedicated effort. 😉
Actually lots of Pokemon that can mega evolve can learn Drain Punch, so I haven’t really given anything away.
There’s only 4 that would be worth using it on that are affected by Toxic.
Dang, I didn’t think about that. Your sleuthing is commendable, my friend.
I could try and look further into it but I think I’ll leave the mystery there (Also I’m running out of ways to do so ;P ).
Blaaaaaaaaa I’m just so hyped!
I’m so excited for these games! Customization, amazing Pokemon, SIRENEE, Ilima so neat, LURANTIS BOII, Lillie and Gladion, Wicke, MIMIKYU, and OMG pokeride! just so much to be excited about
IKR ME TOO I JUST WANNA HAVEM NOWWW
GAME FREAK SEND ME AN EARLY COPY
Here!
/puts demo on eshop
🙁
Pokeride woo!
I really hate that not all characters are available in the game I PURCHASED with no sign of an update any time soon. Maybe that makes me an entitled brat, so be it. I think it’s wrong. /end rant
“I really hate that not all characters are available in the game I PURCHASED–where unlike Street Fighter x Tekken are actually not developed before launch, not on disk that I PURCHASED, came with a patch that was datamined, and that I will be receiving for free when the dev team decides it’s ready.”
I’m confused. Does the stuff Shady posted have credibility?
I don’t know, but I honestly hope not. I don’t like a single ‘mon shown, though I guess I could get used to them if they turn out real.
Interesting. I kind of like it. Some I couldn’t handle but a lot I really enjoyed the bizarre concept
I guess I kind of like the slug/mollusk/torpedo looking thing. Cutiefly’s evolution looks too much like UB-02, in my opinion. The rest look awful, but I suppose official art may do them some justice.
Total agreement.
The only one I even slightly like is the minior evolution.
No…..don’t believe anything until confirmed.
Yes, obviously not but just wanted to know if they had any credibility to them. Cuz I definitely like them 😀
I want it to be real so bad. I adore that Cutiefly evolution.
I am afraid u end disappointed so don’t count on that.
I’m trying not to. I got too set on Jangamo-o being a griffin and was disappointed so I’m being careful now
Which stuff?
Found it, had to scroll down reeeaaaallly far.
Yup XD
Just saw all of these. I won’t reserve too much judgement because a) they could very well be fake; and b) the drawings are pretty low-quality.
If they ARE real, though: LOVE Pickipeck’s final form as well as Minior’s evolution 😀 The Psychic Seadra is also pretty cool.
The ‘artist’ has been playing too much Dragon Quest:

And I’m pretty sure that’s the roly-poly bird:
http://www.best-childrens-books.com/images/xroly-poly-bird.gif.pagespeed.ic.m0OvitIH0I.jpg
Could be a coincidence, or also an inspiration. I mean, look at this book my mom used to read to me when I was little. (Yes, this book was made before Pokémon was) https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/02fe3daa3bd2e7c273994931e5bc296248f02ca8880cc33165d64ba95b9bfc4b.jpg
What pokemon is that supposed to resemble?
Who else but QUAGSIRE?? ;D
Eh, I don’t really see the resemblance.
Also I checked, Pokemon Gold and Silver predate that book. The book was released 2001, Gold and Silver were released in Japan in 1999 and the US in 2000.
Actually, according to Google books, it was originally published in 1967. So it far predates Pokémon. But anyway, they’re both bottom-heavy bluish blobs with a similar pattern going down their backs/tails, as well as the same face.
Seems they reprinted it.
Still, I don’t think it looks like Quagsire, it looks more like a dinosaur, it’s got scales and its back plates are more like a stegosaur’s plates than Quagsire’s gill-like thing.
Breeding this 5IV honedge is proving very time consuming…
I have a 5IV Japanese Honedge I no longer need if you want him.
I would love it 😛 Is there anything you want in return? I have a 4 IV adamant pancham if that interests you
I got it in a wondertrade, you can just have it.
Really? When do you want to trade?
Right now if you can, I need to go back to sleep.
Okay! Sorry if I woke you
No, I was awake, been having trouble staying asleep :/
O that sucks 🙁 Well I hope you get some good sleep in before the news in a few hours. I need to sleep myself. Thanks, btw! You da best
So do I … no problem, I have both 31/31/31/31/31/31 and 31/31/31/31/31/00 Male non-english Honedge so I’m all good for whatever set I like.

Rowlet is the worst
ugh… gotta take a 3 hour long test on my own time for work… guess I will do that while re watching game of thrones.
Aren’t there laws against that?
I’m pretty sure there’s laws against that.
against what?
Work making you do tests in your own time. Sounds kind of illegal.
I’m not sure. I work in a hospital so I’m sure they can, they need to make sure I know what to do in the case of patient abuse, and that I know the patient’s right to their privacy and none of their personal info gets leaked, etc.
Most places I’ve looked at indicate that they should only be allowed to make you train/take tests during work hours and that they can’t make you do it during work hours.
If the test is iminent, make sure it gets recorded that it was done during non-work hours so if it does turn out to be dodgy you have proof and can complain later.
If you’ve got while before having to do it, I suggest asking about it at the stackexchange: http://workplace.stackexchange.com/
Where’s my Arch. http://is.4chan.org/vp/1476420508359.png
Kill it.
Kill it with fire!
Arrow more suitable.
Better yet, fire arrows:

omg I hope this is real xD
Good night everyone! Hopefully we get spoiled with some good news tomorrow!
It’ll probably be the same as corocoro.
It never really is
Corocoro is supposed to be officialy released tomorrow right? Not today, so that would mean that this will be new info, other info. But i wouldnt mind seeing these newly revealed pokemon in action though. I;m happy with anyting we get!
I’m just thinking the trailers could be what’s already been shown in the leaks. But I’ll be hoping for more.
Wouldnt been logical, it makes the corocoro useless tomorrow, no?
Some of the previous months have setups like that, except that Corocoro hasn’t hired Mario yet to fix their leaks so it feels like they come first.
I’m expecting the corocoro leaks and maybe 2 extra pokemon on top of that.
Or that they’ll leave Silvardi out of the mix.
They didn’t talk about which hour they reveal the news….right?
Probably the same time as usual.
9pm JST (UTC+09:00)
10PM actually.
Close enough, I loose track since they post it in so many different time zones.
Accoring to 4chan, Courtney is infertile thanks to an incident with a meteorite and a welding torch.
yay, there will be news when I wake up later today! good birthday so far!
Happy Birthday to you! Have a good one 😀
Happy bday men
Thank you 4chan:

is this fake? ive never had an eye for fakes unless they are clear as day.
well, the background on mantines shot seems kinda messed up. the horizon where the island is and the shoreline closest to the viewer seem out of place, but again, not my strongsuit telling if these are fakes or not.
for the love of all that is good, please let these be real!!!
That Mantine is gorgeous!!!!!
And this would mean that Pokémon other than Gen one are getting Alolan forms!!!
Oh dear, starting to look fake:

Well, yeah something’s wrong with the hole in the forehead…
It’s supposed to be that pattern that A. Marowak has.
The triangle hole thing in Cubone’s head in Pokemon Refresh is just too straight a triangle, though. The battle one is slightly more plausible.
they have been proved fake, the lettering of “a wild persian/mantine appeared!” happens a little later into the wild battle, also we know that there is no A.cubone.
It can’t really be proven until we know for definate, but it’s definately unlikely.
The font is the most plausible argument I’ve heard so far.

Fake sorry dude
I keep failing to set up timers recently but I should get back into it.
http://www.timeanddate.com/countdown/generic?iso=20161014T22&p0=248&msg=Countdown+To+Info&font=slab
PJ should set up an article with a timer.
Their articles counting down to the trailers actually do all the time.
I used to set up my “third party” website timers as early as the announcement of the date.
I mean right now.
It’s <4 hours and we don't have one.
And they don't always have timers, sometimes they don't have them and sometimes the timer breaks.
Article goes up 2 hours before the news drops, has done every time I’ve covered it 🙂
Got a Volcanion code, but they give away one per person here. Kind of sucks
ah no.. there goes my chance xD
Dat finish (°_°)
