  2. Hooray! More news! I thought it wasn’t coming anymore but woot was I wrong! I know probably not going to be as much as the last few times but I hope for new Pokemon! Also for Wondertrade and P.S.S.

    • I’m half expecting both and maybe expecting Shilvadi to be dropped from the announcement, since they sometimes give corocoro an exclusive.

      Reply

      • Yeah, wouldn’t be surprised if Silvadi is delayed to next news time. But seeing how big of a deal it is I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s Jangmo-o’s evolution that’s dropped until next time.

  5. I want new megas ;A;
    but well, more alolan pokemon would be interesting
    imagine an alolan hermit crab Kingler
    Or alolan Vileplume being fairy type, I dont know. hah

  6. After the surprising contents of yesterday’s corocoro, I don’t really know what to expect anymore apart from at least of most of that corocoro info, so I’m just going to predict we get more info on some as-of-yet unexplored feature. I’d love a little more info on the Rotom Pokedex.

    Reply

        • A PokéDex, in my head at least, would be less intuitive to lend itself to any other type as compared to a lawnmower being Grass. And we don’t have a Ghost/Normal yet. Lol

          Reply

          • A Pokedex I would have thought would have been either Electric or Psychic (since it contains a lot of knowledge).

            I don’t think the Pokedex will be usable in battle anyway though.

      • I was thinking more electric/psychic. I’d love a segment of the game where you lose your pokeballs and you’re forced to use the rotom dex!

        Reply

    • No I think they should us because ppl are saying the region is not small, but from what I’ve seen areas aren’t small but the region in all does look small and I would like to see more of really how big it is (again to me it looks small)

      Reply

        • Yeah I do remember but that’s why I said areas like certain places seem big but not the region as a whole. It’s like you go to a small town of 8,000 ppl for a high school football game and you think they’re football stadium will be like your hometowns and you get there and it’s 3 times bigger. Yet it’s a small town but they’re stadium looks like it belong to a college team.

          Sorry I used this analogy but it’s Friday and it’s still football season lol

          Reply

          • Erm… American football or what I’d call football? I’m presuming American football given “high school”.

            And what about the E3 gameplay?
            That made things seem reasonably big.

            I’ll admit, 8,000 is tiny though, I wouldn’t call my town big but we have about 185,000 people.

          • Yeah sorry American football I was born in the US but raised Mexico so futbol was the proper term but now it’s soccer so yeah

            And yeah it was kind of big I guess and you need to come to west Texas bunch of small towns

  10. There probably gonna show a new pokemon or 2 other than type nulls evo and jangmo-o’s evo, just like passimian and oranguru after lyconroc leaked.

    Reply

  14. Hmm odd. The Volcanion code card indicates its moves are Steam Eruption, Overheat, Hydro Pump and Mist but mine has Explosion instead of Mist and Flamethrower instead of Overheat.

    Reply

  25. I don’t think we will get Coro Coro news officially revealed today. We will get something completely new.

    Hopefully 5-6 cool new Pokemon and at least one I will consider using.

  45. ANOTHER GIRL LOOKING POKEMON, why !? I hate these forced gender pokemon..unless they have one gender …also they revealed so much

    Reply

  47. Hakamo-o
    CATEGORY Scaly Pokémon
    TYPE Dragon/Fighting
    HEIGHT 3’11”
    WEIGHT 103.6 lbs.
    ABILITY Bulletproof/Soundproof
    When a Jangmo-o evolves into Hakamo-o, it breaks from its fellows and begins to live on its own to train itself. Wherever it can find Pokémon to battle against, it seems to appear.

    Hakamo-o dances before battle to show its strength, clanging its scales together to make them ring out. When this dance reaches its climax, Hakamo-o bellows a fierce war cry to challenge its opponent.

    Its scales make for fine armor, so Hakamo-o doesn’t worry about self-defense as it makes multitudes of strikes and overwhelms its opponents. But, as a result, its scales often become damaged and get torn off. They grow back immediately, so this does not cause Hakamo-o undue concern. In fact, it views the number of lost scales as proof of how ferociously it has fought, and it brandishes its bared arms in a boast of victory.

  48. Silvally
    CATEGORY Synthetic Pokémon
    TYPE Normal
    HEIGHT 7’07”
    WEIGHT 221.6 lbs.
    ABILITY RKS System
    When Type: Null gains a partner it can trust, it deliberately destroys the restraining device it wears. Once released from that heavy mask, the Pokémon’s speed increases substantially. Freed of the restraining effects of its mask, Silvally’s senses are heightened, and it reverts to its natural temperament. It has a wild nature, but it will obey a Trainer that it trusts. And to protect that Trainer from danger, it will put its own life on the line. Silvally is said to have been created to oppose a threat…

    By inserting exclusive items into the drive on Silvally’s head, its RKS System can be activated, causing Silvally’s somatic cells to mutate and glow. The RKS System enables it to change its type, and its cells glow with different colors of light, depending on its type.

    Silvally’s Ability is called the RKS System Ability, which no previous Pokémon has ever had. By having Silvally hold items that correspond to each Pokémon type, it can change its own type. Multi-Attack is a move that only Silvally can learn, and this move’s type changes based on which type-related item Silvally is holding.

  50. Alolan Grimer
    CATEGORY Sludge Pokémon
    TYPE Poison/Dark
    HEIGHT 2’04”
    WEIGHT 92.6 lbs.
    ABILITY Poison Touch / Gluttony
    When the population of the Alola region increased, dealing with their garbage became a serious problem. As a solution, Grimer were imported from other regions. They fed primarily on garbage, so their body composition changed—as did their form. What appear to be teeth in this Pokémon’s mouth are in fact residual toxins from the garbage it eats, which have hardened and crystallized. No method has been discovered to break down these crystals. Direct contact with them presents a danger.

    Alolan Grimer is always eating garbage, but its constant hunger will cause it to begin eating other manufactured objects if it runs out of garbage to feed on. There are more than a hundred Alolan Grimer in Alola’s garbage-processing plants, and all of the garbage produced in the Alola region is taken for use as their food.

  51. Kommo-o
    CATEGORY Scaly Pokémon
    TYPE Dragon/Fighting
    HEIGHT 5’03”
    WEIGHT 172.4 lbs.
    ABILITY Bulletproof/Soundproof
    At the end of its harsh training, Hakamo-o evolves into this overwhelmingly powerful form. It returns to the land of its birth, where it watches over the Jangmo-o from a distance.

    There is a legend that says Kommo-o is covered in glittering scales in order to drive away a great darkness covering the world. The reason these Pokémon seek out battle is to gain the power needed to defeat this darkness. When it detects someone approaching, this Pokémon rings the scales on its tail to announce its presence. It has no desire to battle against weak Pokémon.

    Kommo-o’s greatest move is the uppercut. It swings its arm up from below in a punch of great skill and force, sending its foe flying into the sky. By raising its arms aloft, it can generate a force powerful enough to change the face of the surrounding landscape!

    Clanging Scales is a move that only Kommo-o can learn. It scrapes the scales covering its body against one another, attacking with a great clamor. After using this move, Kommo-o’s Defense is lowered.

  52. Alolan Muk
    CATEGORY Sludge Pokémon
    TYPE Poison/Dark
    HEIGHT 3’03”
    WEIGHT 114.6 lbs.
    ABILITY Poison Touch / Gluttony
    Alolan Muk eats whatever is in reach without pausing, and if it feels the sharp pangs of hunger, it runs amuck. It’s thought that its voracious appetite stems from an inability to maintain its energy levels without a constant influx of toxins. Toxins have accumulated in Alolan Muk’s body from its steady diet of various waste products and manufactured materials. This accumulation has brought about a chemical change, producing a new kind of toxin.

    Alolan Muk has the same poisonous crystals as Alolan Grimer, but they’re not limited to its mouth—they extend from all over the surface of its body. Alolan Muk uses them to attack, just like other Pokémon use their fangs or claws. And these highly toxic crystals are easily knocked loose, making them extraordinarily dangerous!

    The Grimer and Muk in the Alola region produce and store their toxins within their bodies. So, unlike the Grimer and Muk in other regions, you won’t detect any unpleasant aromas when you draw near one.

  54. Ribombee
    CATEGORY Bee Fly Pokémon
    TYPE Bug/Fairy
    HEIGHT 0’08”
    WEIGHT 1.1 lbs.
    ABILITY Honey Gather / Shield Dust
    Ribombee collect flower nectar and pollen to make into balls known as Pollen Puffs. These serve as food, and what’s more, they also can cause effects like paralysis or dizziness. Ribombee may use puffs to strike their opponents during battles. Some of the Pollen Puffs that Ribombee make also have relaxing effects or can relieve tiredness. These are distributed around the Alola region as high-priced supplements.

    Ribombee hate getting rained on. They’re covered with fluffy hairs that hold the pollen they’ve gathered, and the rain makes them wet and dirty. Alolan people know that if Ribombee are busily visiting the fields of flowers, you can be sure that the fair weather will continue.

  57. Steenee
    CATEGORY Fruit Pokémon
    TYPE Grass
    HEIGHT 2’04”
    WEIGHT 18.1 lbs.
    ABILITY Leaf Guard / Oblivious
    The calyx on Steenee’s head is harder than Bounsweet’s, so Steenee no longer worries about being stabbed by other Pokémon. As Bounsweet, this Pokémon may have preferred to run away from others, but now Steenee and other Pokémon can play together.

    Upon evolving, this Pokémon’s fragrance becomes even more delectable, but it also gains a tomboy-like personality. Living together with one is quite the ordeal. As it moves around, it spins its calyx, striking nearby objects, but Steenee couldn’t care less.

    Steenee unleashes combo moves using the calyx on its head and its hard legs. First it smacks opponents with the calyx on its head, and when the opponent flinches, it lands a whacking great kick. That usually does the trick!

  59. Bounsweet’s evos were totally unexpected but I’m totally cool with them.
    One of the best feminine pokemon we’ve had in a while.

    Yes Ribombee! Gamefreak, I’ll forgive you for Grimer and Muk in exchange for Ribimbee.

    Reply

  64. I really hope they create a story connecting Silvally to Arceus. I just feel like there’s too many similarities.

    Though Muk is no where near my favorite I can appreciate his design in the game. Aesthetically he looks oddly appealing.

    Reply

  68. Love Silvally! It looks so amazing, omg.
    Kommo-o is really cool too, in-game it’s even better.
    The Bounsweet evos are okay. Tsareena is one of the best feminine Pokemon out there now.
    I don’t really like Ribombee, because Cutiefly is amazing on its own.
    The new Kahuna Olivia looks reaaaally cool, Ilima is okay.
    Muk looks nice, didn’t expect I’d like it.

    Reply

  69. GF WHY U LEAKING SO MANY EVOS
    The O’ lizards look even better in game, love them.
    Silvally is still awesome.
    Not sure about those Bounsweet evos, another waste of a plant line into some anthropomorphic bore. I hope there’s interesting plant species influences in their designs. What even is the ability? Why does it work like Bruxish’s Dazzling? Is it effect stealing or just another priority blocker?
    Cutifely evo is fine, but is still has honey gather :’D
    DAFUK IS WRONG WITH ALOLAN MUK… Genuinely, who the approved the pastel mess? I kinda love how horrendous it looks, it’s like a massive middle finger to haters. I think that aspect will make it grow on me. The typing however makes even less sense now…
    The new kahuna is cool, and Illima was indeed normal type as expected.
    It’s interesting we have a confirmation kahunas are type specialists, or at least some of them.

    Reply

      • Indeed, not the right term haha, but there’s so much stuff revealed here I’d practically call it a self-orchestrated leak.
        WHY GF WHY
        They were being so good with only revealing a few in the past few videos and now we have this orgy of reveals.
        We better have loads of new pokés, or GF can go screw itself honestly, this policy of revealing everything is shameful IMO.

        Reply

    • Alolan Muk looks similar to how oil spills happened in the oceans. Its probably a reference to that.

      In dead honesty, I was expecting the Bounsweet line to go Grass/Fairy lol

      Reply

  72. Steenee is so cute! I also really like alolan Muk, but if it’s oil, I feel like poison/ground maybe would have been a more logical combo. Ribombee is cute too, I just hope it evolves again. And Kommo-o was fighting both Dragonite and Garchomp in the two trailers..it most likely is a pseudo.

    Reply

  73. The only thing I’m not fond of is Silvally’s RKS System. I had to do a bit of searching to find what RKS means, and it’s “Record Keeping System.” Silvally’s ability is Record Keeping System System.
    Everything in this reveal was amazing, and Bounsweet’s evolution really surprised me! I may use it now.

    Reply

  74. Thank goodness Kommo-o looks even better in game. I wasn’t really impressed by the official art (it kinda looked like Fakemon art tbh) but in game it looks really cool, so I think I’ll still use it. Anyway, so many cool Pokemon revealed so far! I’m still sticking with the plan to rotate team members to use as many as I can

    Reply

  82. THe evos from CoroCoro look amazing in-game 🙂
    Bounsweet’s evos look awesome as well, but I definitely still prefer Lurantis (but I might use them some other time)
    CUTIEFLY’S EVO IS MY DREAM CUTIEFLY”S BEEN ON MY TEAM AT THE START IT IS HERE TO STAY PEOPLE
    I love Olivia’s design, I guessed Rock type from the moment I saw her due to this crystal things on her.
    And Illmia looks like a normal type Trial captain, looks alright to me.
    4 days until the demo 😀

    Reply

  84. I’m gulping tea at all the people who said Alolan Grimer is ugly but Alolan Muk is “well-designed” smh

    Anyway… why did they just reveal like half of the Pokédex???

    Reply

    • I for one wasn’t a Fan of grimer because I couldn’t see the genius in its design but now…. pure perfection!?As for your former question idk?

      Reply

    • Perhaps they feel its better to spoil as much as they can officially then let some people data mine ruining it for some people, if the demo has all these pokenon when they datamine and nothing of value is found. then no spoiler till real game comes out

      Reply

    • More or less their the leaders of trial captains, and it does seem that they have specialty’s. Like it seems that this new lovely lady loves her rocks, and Hala’s likely the fighting specialist. I’d probably classify them as super gym leaders.

      Reply

    • Neither, really. They’re just strong trainers you fight, not everything needs to be equivalent. But since they are four and are the strongest trainers on their island, I’d say E4.

      Reply

    • It seems like each island has a Trial Captain, who has a specific task for you to complete, and a Kahuna, which is more akin to Gym Leaders with a straight forward battle. Four islands with two of these trainers each would equal eight trainers, so it’s similar to how the amount of Gym Leaders we needed to defeat in previous generations.

      Reply

      • Actually, Mallow, Kiawe and Lana have all been predicted to be on the same island, so it looks like some islands have multiple trials.

        Reply

          • Seeing as we have a Kahunas and Trial Captains, I was thinking about 12-14 captains? Seeing as Akala has 4 (starter types and maybe Sophocles due to Electric being a fourth ‘starter type’ and him being revealed at the same time) and the biggest island will probably have more, I don’t think 4 is too farfetched.

          • we know that there are 4 Kahunas, one for every island. 18 types – 4, brings it down to 14 possible trial captains. We now know of 5 trial captains, so we’re down to 9 possible captains.

    • Neither, they are Kahuna’s. it’s a very Hawaiian tradition in fact. They’re essentially the leaders and protectors of the islands.

      Reply

  86. Cutiefly’s evo is perfect, I hope it evolves one more time to be honest just to have a more complete design and get rid of Honey Gather.

    The fruit is queen (‘o’) /

    I can’t decide on a Grass Type and its killing me.

    Reply

    • The Pokémon usually do… which is why it always amuses me when people make negative and dissenting comments about a design they’ve only seen in blurry corocoro leaks 😛

      Reply

      • in the past the pokemon looked better in the artwork, but for some reason the artwork these days seems rushed and doesnt fully showcase the beauty of the pokemon

        Reply

  90. Man, it’s like Attack of the Girly Pokemon this gen. They’re really making up for lost time it seems. Also, 72% sure Ilima is a dude. Haven’t seen anything else saying otherwise.

    Reply

  92. Tbf, the bounsweet evos actually have great colours and a sleek design. It’m just really dissapointed we’re getting humanoids rather than more plant-like stuff.

    Reply

  95. New trailet new Pokemon and information. I am hyped for these games. I didn’t expect Bounsweet ti be a 3 stage evo. Nor did I see Type: Null get an evolution so similar to Arceus and Genesect in a manner. This gen seems to pull surprises for me, but I wonder, will we have to battle these trial captains after completing the trails as a of recognization?

    Reply

  97. Multi-attack looks really underwhelming, and has nothing to do with it’s name. It sounds/looks like it should be called charge claw or something.

    Reply

    • I agree. Either have a name that matches what it does or have it attack more than once. RKS Claw wouldn’t have been a bad name for it.

      Reply

      • It’s meant to literally be a knock-off of Arceus. The move would end up being pronounced Arceus Claw which might as well mean God Claw.

        Reply

  98. Today’s trailer was phenomenal. Originally, I loved Type: Null albeit I thought someone made an error in the trailer resulting in the interesting name. But, with the introduction of Silvally, he’s secured a position on my team. The Bounsweet is a very interesting to say the least, albeit I hope that the gender ratio is leaning towards a full female population, since its a Queen figure among its people. Overall loved the music in the trailer, which is Gladion’s theme, and am hyped for Sun and Moon.

    Which version are you guys getting? I’m getting both, one for me and the other for my sister.

    Reply

  104. I wonder if Gladion named Silvally. Type:Null sounds like the name of an experiment, so maybe when it evolved he decided to give it a ‘real’ name.

    Reply

      • But its theorized that he’s really with/from the AF. They really care about Pokemon, and even Gladion has hinted at worrying about Pokemon in battle.

        Reply

        • Just because they worry about pokemon doesn’t affiliate them with AF. That’s a natural instinct within us, so maybe he’s had it rough. Who knows maybe GF will pull a celebi event where we go back in time to see Gladion’s past like we did with Silver.

          Reply

          • That alone doesn’t make the connection, but you have to consider that he, Lillie, and Lusamine share striking similarities. And with Type:Null being an experiment, where do you think he got it from?

          • Perhaps’s he pulled a Shelly, where she worked with Devon and then left them. Or like a Zinnia (Which I want her to return, can’t be the only one >.<). But the similarities are noteworthy, alongside the similarities of the Ultra Beasts with the Lusamine, Lillie, and perhaps Gladion.

      • They’re not evil, they’re delinquents.
        They’re capable of compassion to Pokemon on their own team, they just like causing humans trouble.

        Reply

  106. Woah so many evolutions. :0
    Anyway, I really like Silvally, it’s really majestic and a great design (even though it’s pretty much the same as Type Null). One thing I found as interesting was that the artwork for Silvally was the Fire Type one with Gladion holding 3 Memories. Maybe Gladion is somewhat of a rival and puts the memory that is super effective on your starter on it? IDK, probably false, but it’s interesting to see.
    Jangmo-O’s evolutions, Hakamo-O and Kommo-O, are great. They have this Native American warrior look to them, like the Aztecs, and that’s great for the first Dragon/Fighting. Speaking of which, WE GOT A DRAGON/FIGHTING!!!!
    Now onto the rest. Bounsweet’s evolutions took a turn I wasn’t expecting at all. While I am slightly disappointed that it’s another Humanoid 3-stage looking Mon, I’m ok with it. Tsareena does look very strange looking, yet I’m curious about its ability though.
    Cutiefly’s evolution was to be expected, as we’ve seen it a month ago. Personally, I don’t mind the evolution. It does its job at what Cutiefly was supposed to evolve into, and the result was some I enjoy.
    Now, last but not least, Alolan Muk. I got to say it’s trippy looking, like it swallow a bunch of glow sticks. But I’m a fan of its design, the garbage parts on it look cool.

    Reply

    • You know, I watched Youtubers do breakdowns of Jangmo-o’s line and one giant counter to it is the fairy type. However, if this thing gets dragon dance, plus its ability Soundproof, it will wreck house on fairy. Hell, just b-pass Extreme Evoboost onto it. One Poison Jab from it will OHKO M Gardevoir, and it can’t do much back aside from the occasional Psychic/Psyshock.

      Reply

      • And also there are other Dragons with Quad weaknesses (like Dragonite, Salamence, and Garchomp) and they are still good. I’m faithful that Kommo-O will be a good mon to use

        Reply

    • Kinda felt like the Dragon/Fighting guys looked more Egyptian than Aztec. The first stage had scales that look like their necklaces that made their necks (look?) longer. And the second stage looks like it has a Pharoah hat thing.

      Reply

    • :O YOu might be on to something here. Cause in the English trailer, it shows the Multi move, with Silvally attacking the starters.

  108. NOTE: The Japanese trailer indicates that Mega Kanghaskan’s ability Parental Bond’s second hit, has been reduced to 25% damage.

  109. I LOVE ALOLAN MUK SO MUCH!! Even more than regular Muk tbh (which is a relief because I hate Alolan Grimer). Do you suppose this disproves all those crappy MS Paint sketches that were floating around last night?

    Reply

  110. Im so going to use Bounsweet’s evolution on my team! Particularly the second and totally majestically third evolution. Now I need to find a way to have all the pokemon I want on my team.
    I’m also loving Type Null evo. And I’m curious of Gladion would be a tough trainer to battle as he would use different types of items to make his null supereffective to my pokemon. I’m curious as to how this plays out.

    And ilima, is so totally a guy. A cute as well! XD

    Reply

  111. Including Alolan forms, ones we haven’t seen but know exist for sure, Including the Dolphin Snowman and Marshadow. the other 3 island guardians, and The third in the trio of Solgaleo and Lunala, and excluding potential evolutions,the known number of new pokemon so far is 80, we’ve passed X/Y, and that’s a good sign.

    Reply

  114. I’m more accepting of Silvally now it’s in regular art and not that crazy sensationalist stuff, but I’m still not its biggest fan. It’s lore is odd though given the actual meaning of ‘somatic cell’.

    Still not sure about Grimer and Muk, but Muk’s design is less lazy and its lore is reasonable.

    Hakamo-o and Kommo-o look better in battle, but I’m still not a fan.
    I suppose its abiltities are justified at least. Also they’re oddly short.

    I like Steenee and Tsareena more than I expected I would.
    (Damn, so many good Grass types this time.)

    I suspect this means they’re female-only, but I’ll have to check over old videos to be sure. The whole ‘tomboy’ thing is probably a reference to either the cliche of young princesses not being lady-like and eventually growing to be a good ruler.

    And lastly, the one I’ve been waiting for, Ribombee.
    Definately going to be on my team.
    Praying for a 3rd form.

    Reply

    • I want a third form as well, but I’m losing hope now. Why would the keep its final form from us when they gave us just that for Bounsweet?

      Reply

    • So far, from the line’s reveal trailers, it only showed the HP bar for Tsareena, and both the Japanese and English trailer show female Tsareenas.
      So it might be

      Reply

      • I checked that, I meant checking back at Bounsweet to be sure.
        A male Bounsweet wouldn’t be damning, but no male Bounsweet would be good evidence for an all female line.

        I’d be ok with that, I don’t mind all female lines (except for the old issue of getting 5/6IV Dittos to breed with, but that’s not an issue anymore) and this would be the first all-female line I’d be able to put in my favourites list.

      • I’m hoping that with all the changes they are making that the move tutors will be here and not til the second game of the generation. I’m preparing myself just in case they aren’t though.

  122. Calling it now, Salandit, Popplio3 and Tsareena are all said to have different methods of effecting people’s minds and the former two are elegant Pokémon, so if Lusamine is battle able she’ll have all three. Especially since only female Salandit have the pheromones and the Riddler hinted its evolution will be based off a beautiful (or once beautiful, or pretending to be beautiful) woman.

  124. Pretty satisfied with this:) now just need to wait 2 hours to watch the actual trailer at work…but I love the way they took muk, just going all out rather then the little band by the mouth 🙂

  126. So my love for Olivia has caused me to notice something kinda interesting. She’s the third major black character GameFreak has made a rock type trainer. First Brock (debatable), then Grant, and now Olivia. The only other black characters are Aloe, Iris (also debatable), and Marshal.
    Not anything terribly wrong. Just something I noticed. Gens 1-4 can obviously be forgiven because they are set in regions based on Japan. Unova is based on America, more specifically New York which is where 3 of those six black characters reside.
    It makes me extremely happy that the characters of Alola are much more diverse, appropriate considering their Hawaiian based region

    • For a more minor occurrence, there were black basketball NPC trainers in Unova and in Crystal, they made the hikers black. Also the veterans and rangers in XY.

      Reply

      • I won’t comment on the hikers in gen 2 but I don’t actually like the fact that the basketball, (and football players), were the only black trainer classes. It is a VERY stereotypical depiction. Not to mention that Aloe was an Aunt Jemima mammy character… >_>

          • They did but did not dress her for the part. Everyone else in the museum was dressed like how someone you’d imagine working in a museum would dress. Then here comes Lenora looking like she just came out of a kitchen slaving away on dinner for all the workers even though SHE’S the curator.
            I love Lenora as well but that does not take away from her being horribly stereotypical

          • To be fair, Lenora does probably work with artefacts that might get her messy and require her to wear an apron. She even has her hair tied up.

            Kinda wish they gave her heavy gloves of that’s what they were going for though, it look much better and less dodgy.

          • Lenora most certainly was a mammy archetype. She owns a museum but dresses in an apron, head band, has a huge afro, (all mammy staples). There was literally NO REASON she should be dressed like that considering the context in which she exists. She was a mammy through and through

          • You say ther hair wasn’t black as if this isn’t a Japanese series where black hair in any context is actually weird…

            Second of all her not dressing like an archeologist was not my problem and is fine. Her dressing like she’s the house cook on a plantation when she is in fact the curator and owner of the museum is where the issue lies… everyone else in the gym/museum is dressed for the part. Literally everyone. Including her husband who is wearing a suit and tie. But here she is dressed in a damn apron with a head scarf on…

            You may not “think” that she is mammy character but that does not change the truth of the matter. Especially considering I’m not the only one that says this… many articles have been written on exactly this subject with everyone basically saying the same thing. She should not have been depicted that way based on the context of her role in the games

          • Chill the fuck down tbh, who cares if she’s a mammy character, there was no negative connotation to that and she’s the freaking owner of a museum.

          • First, there was no need for cursing. I did not curse and therefor will not take the disrespect of being cursed at.

            Second the very fact that she is a mammy stereotype is itself a negative thing. But I’m not about to argue with this as I see you won’t get it or understand, (seeing as you said who cares if she is; to which my reply would be obvious… I CARE, and everyone else that wrote articles and made videos about the same issue!!). Just because something doesn’t effect you or reflect badly on you does NOT give you the right to claim that it should matter and that it is not a big deal to anyone else.

          • If you’re American I understand why you’re so sensitive, but I don’t think many other black people would take any offense over a video game character who obviously is someone important considering she’s the owner of a museum and a gym leader.

          • I am American, but you’d be wrong in assuming that other black people around the world don’t take offense to seeing ourselves poorly represented in games.
            And we certainly do not appreciated being told “you should be happy that at least you’re an important character” when as I’ve already stated that character is a stereotypical representation.

            It’s easy for one to say these things when they don’t have to think about them because people that look like them are much better represented. If the Pokémon series, (or any anime series honestly), had many more well-thoughtful and meaningful black characters I would not take such offense to Lenora being stereotypical. But it doesn’t….so she stands out. Along with the basketball/football trainer class. I like Iris, and Marshal. They are fine… but there’s only two of them. In a region based of of America. It is not something I as a black person can simply ignore and not notice.

          • I’m half-white half-black and I can’t stand all this bullshit about political correctness and racism. I sure can tell you no one in my family would give a flying fuck about black people not being represented in a video game. But anyway, it’s changing now with Alola so everyone can be happy. Just remember Pokemon is a Japanese game and there are basically no black people there (or white for that matter)

          • I’m saying it because if they’d really intended a mammy archetype they would have left it black, like Brock’s hair.

            Wearing an apron doesn’t mean she’s a cook, they do actually wear aprons in other professions, like smithing, and sometimes locksmithing and clock repair. Her husband’s choice of clothing has no reflection on her own. Some pokemon professors didn’t wear labcoats even when their staff did (e.g. Rowan).

            Those articles probably come from the same places that made Pokemon retcon Jynx to be purple instead of black.

          • They would not have kept it black just to say “oh hey we REALLY want you to know that this is a stereotype”.

            And once again, (I don’t see why you’re not getting my point now) I have no issue if she was wearing an apron because she’s an archeologist if literally ANYONE ELSE IN THE MUSEUM DID THE SAME… but seeing as that’s not the case… the apron wasn’t necessary.

            And the fact that you speak condescendingly of the sites that got the original Jynx re colored is proof of your ignorance and reason for me to no longer humor this discussion. Japan is know for its racist depictions of black people in anime and games. Mr. Popo from DBZ being a prime example, along with Jynx. If you don’t know why then you need to go look up the history of Japanese Sambo dolls to get a idea.

        • See, design I think she was quite stereotypical, but I feel her character more came form the ‘big mother’ stereotype (bigger women are more motherly).

          • If you (Cyanic) meant racially than I think it would be very possible in the near future if not in this game.

          • Don’t call them Muslims if you mean race. Islam isn’t a race, it’s a religion. You get white muslims, like Jihadi John.

            They are Indians, Pakistanis, Arabs etc

        • He said Middle Eastern.. And not all Middle Eastern people are Muslims…So we can have A middle eastern Gym leader without associating religion with it.

          • It wasn’t controversial, it was just wrong.
            Like I said, Islam is a religion, not a race as Cyanic intended.

          • It’s somewhat controversial in this context, because the religion was used as catch-all term for people of middle eastern descent, which isn’t the same thing at all
            I mean it’s not like there was a heated debate over it either, just semantic clarification

  134. I know I said I don’t like planning teams but sometimes a theme pops up and you know you have to do it

    I think for Sun, I’m going to have a ‘masculine’ theme, and for Moon, a ‘female’ theme. Mostly inspired by Western Sun and Moon Dieties being male and female respectively.

    And for teams, I’ll have:

    Sun

    Liften3
    Jangmo-o 3

    Moon

    Popplio3
    Tsareena
    Salandit
    Cutiefly Final Evo

    As my centerpiece members whilst still rotating a lot.

          • Well, off the bat, I see nothing wrong with it other than you may be lacking in defense. Wishiwashi and Kommo-o seem like the type to be able to take a few hits, but offense might be their strong suit, like a less naturally defensive mega mawile. Lycanroc might be an early game deal, so I wouldn’t hold out on it being all that effective later on…or I that’s what I would’ve said if not for it having a super priority move that could really come through in a pinch; and as stealth rock has shown, having access to a rock move at the right time can really cripple some teams. I’m still expecting steel/flying for pikipek, so that might give you a decent defensive pivot if it turns out to be true.

          • Thank you, you made some good points. Im really hoping for a good pikipek3 or i might have to switch him for something else. Im still waiting to see if we get alolan arcanine before i fully commit to wishiwashy. Lycanroc might be replaced with silvally in the later game depending on when we can actually get him.

          • Yeah, I was juggling on Silvally myself, but seeing as how it’s portrayed as the partner to who may as well potentially be your rival, I don’t expect them to just be widely obtainable. Hopefully late game at best and not as some giveaway only a year later.

          • I agree, i would like him to be on my team but im sure he’s going to be obtainable late game. I feel like he’s gonna be the zoroark/Lucario of this gen

          • If it can’t breed, it can’t be a Zoroark/Lucario equivalent.

            I don’t think it would be breedable either, but it’s not completely impossible knowing GF.

          • If Pikipek gets a non-normal typing and the design is decent, I’ll be going for it because I really like its first form (more than all other regional birds but Fletchling).

          • Really? well ill say its in my top 3 behind fletchling and starly. What do you think his typing is going to be? for some reason i think Flying-grass if not Flying-normal

          • Agreed but im on my phone 90% of the time and its easier to take out my phone to due a quick type check rather than going on my laptop.

          • This is one of my big issues with apps. People could just make a decent website instead and then it works on both phone and computer.

          • At least 1 Alolan Variant either Alolan Sandlash, Nintales Marrowak. And then between Silvally, Mudsdale, or Lurantis. I was initially looking for potential flyers or surfers but with pokeride seemingly replacing those HMs out side of battle i figured i wouldn’t need to make a team the way i usually do.

          • Yea i wanted to put an alolan variant on my team but i haven’t really seen one i really cared for just yet besides marowak but he isn’t needed since i have torracat. I agree on not needing a flyer anymore due to pokeride but i like to have a well rounded team and i think pikipeks dex entry gives a clue to it learning bullet seed which would be useful.

  138. Gotta say I also love Alolan Muk too. The moving pallet it a great idea. Also Grimer looks better in game than in it’s art. Still not a huge fan, ut it’s definitely better as a model.

    Reply

    • Theres this parasite that infects snails and makes them clim atop plants to be eaten by birds so they can breed in said birds’ intestines for their lifecycle. Well the parasite makes the snails’ eyes bulge and da weird color thing like with Alolan Muk’s body.

    contrary to popular belief, I am ”not actually evil”. I suck at being evil xD

  157. At the moment:
    53 Pokemon officially revealed (56 if you wanna count UBs)
    12 Alola formes

    For reference, here’s the number we officially knew before launch of each gen:
    Gen 3: 37 of 135
    Gen 4: 30 of 107
    Gen 5: 52 of 156
    Gen 6: 42 of 72

    I kind of hope they wont reveal too many new Pokemon anymore, to keep a bit of surprise still around.

    Reply

    • It could be relevant as far as forms go to note that XY also had 13 megas revealed pre-release.
      Yeah this was really too many new pokémon to reveal if you ask me, I hope the next reveals are like the past few ones (pokémon-light but feature-heavy).
      In any case I hope we get a decent, or hopefully, substantial amount of new pokémon.
      I have a feeling this will be like XY and we’ll know 70% of the dex before that because GF are asshats like that, but hopefully the final reveal number will be closer to 50-60% (and that’s too high already IMO).

      Reply

  158. So…I couldn’t help but notice the Lv45 Comfey in the JP trailer 55sec in. That’s a bit…late to be in a team full of fully evolved pokemon… Personally though, I actually don’t mind at all if it doesn’t evolve since I love the design and think it would probably get worse if added to.

    Reply

    • Are you talking about Pokenchi? I wouldn’t put too much stock in them. Sure we might get something, but they typically show off stuff the general public already knows about as the show is targeted towards young children. Children that may not keep up with the regular releases. So while yes it is possible for new news, I wouldn’t say we are in for anything huge.

          • Im so ready for this XD!! we just need a few artist to do the drawings and we can start our own pokejungle comic lol

          • Even if we couldn’t get artists we could all chip in to make stories based off of our characters (seeing as some of us will be making ourselves and others will be establishing characters)! ^^

          • Omg we should actually set this on the forums or even just amongst the different articles for all sorts of people to chip in and stuff! (And letting each other use each others characters for supporting and background characters!) 😀

          • Maybe do it after the games come out so we can send each other pictures of our in game characters (and descriptions of their personality, back story, as well as mentioning anything the in game models can’t portray like being very tall/small or being a bit bigger or thinner than the model) and use our finalised teams?

          • Yea i agree, I cant wait to do this and see the way everyone story pans out. The progression of everyone teams will be awesome and we could do this for every gen

          • I’m really excited for this! All we need is for someone to set up a common place where we can all set it up (hopping from article to article will be hard) and maintain the project easily!

          • Who would make it though? Can’t be me, I’m hopeless with being in charge of threads, usually it ends up unupdated for months XD

          • If someone shows me the ropes ill take care of it when im not at work ( or at work with free time) or not dealing with the kids.

    • Oh, I totally do that as well! I hope Type:Null evolves through happiness, because I love the idea of it evolving because it’s just SO HAPPY that it’s being treated like a part of the team, rather than just an experiment or something.

          • Thank you, pikipek is the thief in the team constantly stealing my stuff which is the reason i caught him. He seen he couldnt catch my grubbin so he decided to just take the whole pokeball after a long chase litten took him out and i decided to bring him aboard even if he’s a klepto who i constantly find hiding stuff he steals in his/Her feathers. (not sure if im gonna get a male or female, depends on the evo).

          • I really love the interteam relationships you’ve got going on! Does Grubbin get his revenge when it evolves and is SE on Pikipek? :p

          • Yea grubbin doesn’t know how to let things go so soon as he got the type advantage he shocks pikipek every chance he gets lol

          • Rockruff is the meaning behind mans best friend and always want my attention, he constantly fights for my approval and even tho litten likes to act like he could careless he gets jealous of him for being so close to me

          • I was wondering. Since you’ve been kind enough to share your stories with me, would you like me to share what my rough stories are right at the moment?

          • Okay! 😀

            Popplio: For young trainers, Litten and Rowlet are more popular either due to being seen as ‘cuter’ or their final evos being ‘cooler’. However, my character (haven’t decided if it’ll actually be me or an OC) chooses Popplio due to a wild misadventure they have (Hala’s Crabrawler decided to pick a fight with a Bewear, and my character decides to use Disarming Voice since its super effective. They slow the Bewear down enough for Crabrawler to beat it) and they set off. Due to being denied so much times, she’s nervous and often stumbles in battle and when showing off. However, my character sees the beauty in her and calls her ‘Aphrodite’. Basically, she evolves and gets over her nerves and becomes fun loving and always gets praise for her confidence. If the leaks are true, and Popplio3 is the final evolution, it kinda goes to her head and she becomes a diva, but still has a heart of gold and whenever she meets someone who feels unloved or unappreciated, she’ll try to cheer them up.

            Will have to split these up by post as they’re a bit big ^^;

          • I love it, I’m already thinking of how her and litten would interact. I could see her as the one who Beltigre and kommo-o are always fighting over lol

          • That’d certainly fit into her diva personality! What’s also kinda funny is that if she ends up a Fairy-Type, she’ll end up super effective on both so maybe she fights them off and rejects them before getting them interested again to make more drama?

            Also, I’ll reply to this post with Tsareena’s story since that’s the second biggest after Popplio’s

          • that’s super funny, the one that they’re fighting over can whoop both of them XD and go for it….btw what does your team look like at this point?

          • It looks like

            Popplio3
            Tsareena
            Salandit (if the evo is diva-ish enough, Fire Oricorio if it isn’t)
            Cutiefly’s final evo (if it’s not only a two stage line)
            Sensu Oricorio if I don’t use the fire one

          • Tsareena: Like Popplio, Bounsweet started off a bit unsure of herself, but rather than being unloved she felt scared and was a shrinking violet, as she was a weak Pokémon in her Bounsweet form. Aphrodite fought off a *insert nearest Bug, Fire or Flying Type to where Bounsweet is found in game* and earned a bit of trust, ending in her being caught by my character. She starts off as a bit of a dandere, being quiet and reserved, but evolves when she returns the favour to Aphrodite and defeats a Pokémon away to beat her. She becomes a bit of a deredere, and is happy and free of any thought. She eventually evolves and becomes a superdiva, being standoffish and cold if you don’t know her. She doesn’t want to be seen as nice, but does subtle nice things. Basically, a tsundere.

          • she sounds like litten, he acts like a tough guy but really a teddy bear on the inside lol but I really like their stories. I’m excited to hear more

          • Got a few more, leaving Cutiefly for now but I’ve got the portion of Salandit’s story when it’s a Salandit and Sensu Oricorio if I use it.

          • Coming right up

            Salandit: Basically a Himedere who tries to get everyone to do what she wants, and uses her pheromones to get men and male Pokémon to so what she wants (she also gets really annoyed when they’re immune to it, but I don’t know whether I’ll make it that it doesn’t effect gay people or if some people have a genetic resistance to it). She has a huge rivalry with Tsareena as she’s the only one who can invoke anger in her at her Steenee stage, and bullies her due to the major type advantage over her. Tsareena mostly blows Salandit off though. She tries to pick fights with Popplio3, but their typing (assuming Popplio ends up Fairy) makes them evenly matched.

          • Sensu Oricorio: On an excursion to a forest of purple flowers, the team hear a beautiful singing voice. Brionne/Popplio3 find it amazing/is jealous (depends on evo stage) and wants to listen closer/have a sing-off. The Sensu Oricorio is then located and Brionne/Popplio3 singsback to it. They either form a friendship/rivalry and they battle, with my character catching Oricorio. She seems like she’s not emotional at all, but is really a mother-hen figure.

          • I could even see her mothering Pokémon she only just met or trying to mother Pokémon that have literally had children.

          • you just gave me an idea, maybe I find one of my pokemon as an egg(alolan growlithe if it exist) she’s the one that’s always mothering it up til it hatches and consider Ori as its mom it’s just weird because an alolan growlithe is bigger is running behind this bird like it’s his mom lol

          • Thats just adorable, I can see her doing that! Heck, if we manage to pull of this project with tons of people writing in the same ‘universe’, I can see a whole bunch of eggs just dissappear becuase she’s made a nest and is attempting to hatch them all

          • and Pikipek could be her accomplice since she likes to steal and looks up to Ori, I really hope we could pull this thing off

          • I can just imagine Pikipek thinking Oricorio is boring until she pulls of the egg heist and then gets really impressed

            And yeah, I really hope it will take off. It could be so much fun!

          • I agree, well if you have anymore background stories dont hesitate to hit me up or if you have any ideas on where to start with the project.

          • lmao they sound worst than litten3 and kommo-o, but I love these I could just picture them all bickering??, the gay people being resistant is smart maybe other pokemon produce pheromones that counteracts with hers which render them useless

          • Yeah, I’m thinking since Bounsweet’s line produces fragrances they kinda cancel each other out and that’s why Salandit bullied Bounsweet/Steenee and starts fights with Tsareena.

        • Same, though mine was found back in Hoenn but didn’t join me until I reached Alola. It works because I’m buying one copy of each game and am playing through one then the other one after the update.

          • Thats cool. im not 100% sure if im getting both as of yet but thinking about it…i just dont like to go through the story twice i usualy create a whole new character based off my son going through his own journey lol

          • I have to get both copies. I have to many Pokemon to only get one copy. I wouldn’t have enough room to get all the new Pokemon.

          • I have quite a few multiples from past games…… I have like 8 or 10 Dragonite. And at least 7 Garchomp.

    • The over-critical meta tends to kill any of that sadly.
      Hopefully the bottletops and Super Training can fix that (though Super Training is a really crappy minigame tbh).

  163. So Olivia has a Nosepass and a Lycanrock, but the third Pokémon is absent from both trailers. Have we seen the Geodude line in any trailers yet? How about Onix? I could see her third Pokémon being a Rock-type Alolan form.

  164. In Italian Silvally ability is called “Sistema Primevo”. Notice that in Italian Arceus’s specie is “Pokemon Primevo”. I think the relation is clear right now.

  165. I just realized alolan grimer and muk are based off of those shimmering puddles you see in parking lots after it rains from all the chemicals that leaked from cars. Makes sense for tropical area that rains a lot.

  166. I miss the gender diference, some of the new pokemon need gender diference so much, Lurantise is one of them, I know that it a reverse flower mantice, but still, others like popplio and some many other pokemon need it, it was a ver cool idea that they compeleltly abandoned now, it game the game more depth :/ :/

      • in this gen there is no mention of it at all, even thought some alolan forms had gender diference, in gen 5 and 6 there was many pokemon that could have benefited from gender difernce

  167. We got some pretty good information this go around. Love Type: Null’s “evolution” and I’m totally digging Jangmo-o’s line too. Now I need to revamp my teams… What’s everyone thinking as far as their teams with the new info? Here are mine.

    Cosimo (Sun 1): Although Cosimo may switch over to Moon… We will see.

    Torracat
    Lycanroc (Midday)
    Oricorio (Sensu Style)
    Komala
    Drampa
    Crabrawler

    Aurora (Sun 2):

    Brionne
    Bewear
    Lurantis
    Ninetales (Alola Form)
    Oricorio (Baile Style)
    Mimikyu

    Jeff (Moon):

    Dartrix
    Lycanroc (Midnight)
    Silvally
    Oranguru
    Salandit (or Alola Marowak depending on it’s evolutions)
    Kommo-o

    Reply

    • Pokémon Moon, Edea
      Popplio 3, I’m guessing its name will be Sirenade (a cross of siren and serenade)
      Tsareena (replaced Lurantis)
      Bewear (cant go without one, the best pokemon revealed so far, my new favorite)
      Ninetails (alolan variant)
      ==
      this is where I’m not so sure. I’m thinking drampa and lycanrock midday form, but I’m not 100% at this time.

      Reply

        • yeah, I really like lycanroc midday, its a beautiful creature. my friend is the one with sun however, so he gets priority over that form if he chooses. and Drampa is one of my favorites revealed, but I kinda have a thing for using duplicate types on my team (though ninetails and Sirenade share a type, so its not too big a deal.)

  171. So after reading alolan grimers description I am once again amazed at the subtle world-building that has much bigger implications for the series.
    Alolan grimer were imported from other regions to deal with the growing amount of garbage created by Alola’s increasing population.

    That is almost poetic in its implications! Grimer was formed by the increasing pollution in Kanto’s big cities and is now being used to clean up the pollution of Alola’s. It has come full circle :D!

    Reply

    • gotta wonder how that impacted the eco system though. look at yungoose (still I gotta wonder where yungoose came from originally). if theres so much garbage, I wonder why they don’t have trubbish? guess its too early to say they DONT for sure, but I think you get my point.

      Reply

      • Well there’s always gonna be some give and take to any fix to a major problem. But I’d imagine that the environmental issues aren’t all that bad. Grimer isn’t just pollution…it’s sentient pollution lol. So it can move around and not necessarily be a constant polluting force in any given area.

        Reply

      • Iirc Trubbish has been shown in a trailer so it’s probably in Alola.

        And it probably wouldn’t adapt as it already eats garbage :p

    • Hala appears to be a Fighting specialist (uses Crabrawler, a pure Fighting Pokémon) so I feel he’s a Fighting specialist whereas Tapu Koko is Electric.

      I subscribe to the theory that the Oricorio of the island match the Guardian (Tapu Koko and Pom-Pom are on the same island, are yellow and are Electric-Type).

      Reply

    • No. The Islands are Psychic (Pink), Fire (Red), Electric (Yellow) and Ghost (Purple). Imo the Tapu will be either Fairy/Psychic-Fire-Electric-Ghost or for the Alchemy teory and for 20th anniversary Fairy/Fire-Grass-Water-Electric.

          • Androgynous just means someone who looks like they can be either of the binary genders, its nothing to do with chromosomes and stuff.

          • Eh, I default to the sex definition thanks to my days learning psychology. Androgynous was always used to refer to the cases where there were genetics involved. In particular I remember studying some of Klinefelter’s case studies.

          • you’re thinking of Intersex, that has to do with chromosomes, where a person is kind of halfway between the sexes, or at the very least somewhere in the middle, usually resulting in an Androgynous look yes, if you do not take hormones, and sometimes having ambiguous genitalia

        • just because someone has feminine features does not automatically make them “most likely gay”. theres nothing wrong with being gay, but lets not jump to conclusions. I’m a male with feminine features that happens to adore feminine things (hell my favorite color is pink) but i can assure you i am most definitely straight.

          Reply

          • Everyone thinks this friend of mine is gay because he’s so nice to everyone and has feminine traits while they think I’m straight. To know if someone is gay just look at how they look at other guys and voilà

          • my best pal is quite the handsome guy, he takes good care of his hair, dresses nice, etc. we cant go anywhere, and i mean ANYWHERE without someone assuming we are a couple.

          • It’s been that way for me too except they think I’m straight, because I’ve always had girl best friends so most people assume we are a couple

          • People assuming I’m gay would be one of my worst nightmares.

            That said, of the gays I’ve met, most follow the stereotypes of being camp, hipster or having dyed hair. That’s just my personal experience though.

          • You probably don’t even know some people you see often are gay, it’s just that the campy ones stick like a sore thumb.

          • I don’t really know that many people.
            All the ones I stay in touch with I know because they’ve told me one way or the other, and most of the ones I used to know either had girlfriends or made it clear at some point.

            I’ve met campy/effeminate people who aren’t gay too.

          • 20s.

            I can’t vouch for the 200-odd people I knew in secondary school, but I can vouch for pretty much everyone I met in college, which are the ones that matter.

          • its different demographics everywhere, for example I went to one of the largest universities in my country and had a ratio of 3 girls to every 1 guy, and I kid you not, over half of the guys were gay (and maybe a 3rd of the girls) it actually was a well known joke on campus about that. Even in my dorm, there were only 2 guys on my floor that were not gay

          • You need to get out more dude. If people thinking you’re gay is your “worst nightmare” , you clearly are not mature or well developed enough to be content with your own sexuality. Which is just sad regardless of sexual identity. What’s so bad about being gay that the thought of people thinking you might be, puts fear in you? Really confused??

            You never hear a gay man saying “my worst nightmare is people thinking I’m straight.”

          • It’s my worst nightmare because it would mean loads of girls who might potentially like me would be passing me over/ignoring me because they’d be assuming I’m gay. Especially if I never found out they thought I were gay.

            I’m fine with my own sexuality, I know what I am without question, but other people’s perceptions change things.

            I could sympathise with them them for being fed up with people thinking they are straight and worrying about other gay men passing them by because people thought they were straight.

          • Actually I HAVE heard lots of gay guys/girls say that.
            And just because they say it’s there worst nightmare to be thought of as Gay does NOT mean that he is not content with his own sexuality. I would be offended as well if someone thought that I was gay. That does NOT make me insecure, or closed minded. And I’m sick of people trying to make straight people who have honest opinions feel bad about it. I have nothing against gay people, I have gay friends in fact, but I would NEVER want to be seen as gay myself.

          • Thank you, I’m glad someone understands it.

            As I’ve said elsewhere, I’ve had plenty of gay friends and my only reason for worrying about being seen as gay is missed potential relationships.

          • For sure man. Nothing wrong with being gay, in fact, I think its absolutely AWESOME if we have a gay character in Pokemon. Seriously, wouldn’t that be so cool?

            I was just hoping it would be Ilima, having nothing to do with his feminine qualities 🙂

          • Tbh, I would feel indifferent.
            Getting more black/tan/whatever characters didn’t make much of a difference, getting gay characters wouldn’t either. They’d just be like another character to me, judged on their own merits as a character.

          • But it’s always nice to see other skin colours, body types and sexualities being represented in kids games and movies and such. Because the world does not only exist of white skinny straight people you know

          • Again, doesn’t really bother me either way as long as it makes sense in context and the character is good in their own merit. They could make a region where the majority of the natives were black/tan/whatever and I wouldn’t bat an eyelid.

          • It actually does make a difference. Especially for the people who aren’t Caucasian or straight. It’s really cool seeing more minority’s in the Pokemon universe because it brings everything more to life. The whole world feels more diverse. And its nice for people like me to see myself reflected in characters in a game I’ve been playing my entire life

          • I dunno what else you want me to say.
            Do it, don’t do it, as long as the characters are good in their own right it really doesn’t make a difference to me.

            When it comes down to it, the only human character I truly care about is the one I’m controlling, the rest can enhance the story if they’re well designed, but even if they don’t, I care more about the region than the people in it.

  200. Alolan Muk, the redeemer. I love it’s design, looks properly Dark type. All the 3D models do make things look better too. I adore Ribombee and Bounsweets evos (female only?). I like Grass Silvally most at the moment, from that brief look at it. The new moves look pretty cool, Trop Kick XD I do think Tsareena (Serena CONFIRMED) could have just had Dazzling, unless the Japanese name is significantly wrong for it, it’s the same ability. Olivia looks really strong and pretty.

          • You know the population of Brazil started with the Portuguese right? It’s not like there was already a country there per say (only indians) and they colonized it and brought the language, Brazilians were Portuguese and used to speak the same language, which I have to mention wasn’t similar to the Portuguese spoken in Portugal nowadays.

          • Yeah, but it’s another Britain-America situation, and I side with Britain on that one, so to be fair I have to side with Portugal on this one.

            And there were 7 million people when the Portuguese arrived, that’s still a large amount, even if they were just warring tribes. (And ‘Indian’ is a dated term that’s not considered applicable anymore).

          • First of all, indian is the term we use in Brazil to talk about the indigenous tribes, I don’t care about “native americans” or whatever you guys call them in your countries, we’re talking about Brazil here. There were not 7 million of them in Brazil, maybe in South America, but definitely not in Brazil. And most of them died anyway, they only represent 2% of the population nowadays. American English is the standard nowadays too, but there are less different between the two versions of English than between Brazilian and Portuguese Portuguese. (grammatically both version are almost the same, it’s mostly the pronunciation that changes)

          • American English isn’t the standard yet, there is no global English standard, it’s still per-country. And there are grammatical differences between those too.

When the rays of the moon hit this, and there are enough of the Toxins present, Yellow Snow Grimer is born! Abilty Stench/Aftermath.

  215. I think Grimer and Muk have cool designs, but just like the all the other Alola forms, it could’ve just been made into a totally new pokemon. I really like Jangmo-o’s evolutions, nice strong design for a cool pokemon. but Bounsweet is ???. I thought my thoughts on the pokemon could’ve been saved if the rumor about it turning into a grass/fire pepper plant were true but nope. Instead it turns from a Hoppip/Cherubi look alike to something very underwhelming. They could’ve done better with that

    Reply

      • It was one of the 4chan “leaks” lol. And idk I just don’t like it. I was looking for something badass, but instead it just looks like a weak version of Liligant. But as long as we get a lot more new pokemon i’m fine.

        • 4chan’s been spreading the “we’re definately getting a Fire/Grass pepper plant” thing since Gen 3 😛

          What makes it weak?
          We don’t even know any stats yet.
          It might not fully evolve until level 50 or something.

          Reply

          • Weak as in design wise, i don’t really care about stats too much. I mean its not the worst i’ve seen this generation so i’m not really mad bout it or anything.

          • How does its design look weak though?
            I don’t get it, I thought its design looked like the plant equivalent of a tough russian tsarina.

          • I don’t know if this is what qolf was talking about, but pure grass-types suck. Their typing is terrible, they usually need a secondary type to make them competitively viable. Liligant, for example, great special-attacker, but terrible movepool and can be taken down easily. Bounsweet’s evo looks very much like Liligant

          • Pretty sure it was about the design.
            At this point I’m only considering designs anyway, types and stats don’t matter until competative, the game itself is never as harsh as competative because the AI can’t beat human strategy yet.

            It does look a bit like Lilligant, but then so does Bellossom.

            I must admit, I wish they’d fix Grass type to be less weak.

            I don’t see why Grass should be weak to flying for one thing, the others make sense, but Flying doesn’t. And some of the things that resist it are silly, there’s no reason Bug or Poison need to resist Grass as well as be strong against it.

          • Other than the Calyx on top of its head and different color scheme, its not too far off from Lilligant. Nothing wrong with it, I was just hoping for something i’ve never seen before

        • I find the lack of Gyms to be the downside. I would not consider this a great title to the main series with out Pokemon Gyms. Collecting the badges, defeating Team Skull, and making your mark in the Hall of Fame would be my major elements in the main story line. And seriously, Ash attending school and change in the animation, I think they are asking for trouble. However, as long as they have more than 100 new Pokemon (including cross-gen evolutions), I wouldn’t have to worry about any story line in the Pokemon Main Series.

          Reply

          • Facts. and No Gyms is kind of a bummer, but i don’t really like the idea of having a Team every game. Its stale to me. It got repetitive when Diamond/Pearl came around. Then Black and White did something different which was fun. But Team Flame aren’t memorable at all. I don’t mind them trying out new things, as long as they work. Will the new ideas in this game actually work? Im not sure

          • It’s pronounced Team Flare. I did kind of find it interesting that Lysandre went out with a bang. As long as I am able to challenge gyms AS WELL AS take on the Kahunas in the game, I will give it a try. I am hoping that there are two Gyms in each island.

          • 2 gyms on each island would make sense. and yeah team Flare* I don’t really remember much about them. Didn’t really stick out to me in a good way. I didn’t pronounce anything wrong, I just got the name switched up lol

    I am pleasantly surprised by Bounsweets evolutions and actually really like them. Especially Tsareena, that ability making it immune to TalonFalme bravebirds is a God send for a grass type.

    Silvadi (yes, this name is better than Sillvally) is whatever. I’m not really interested in it. Granted it has the potential to be a top tier OU threat.

    New trial Captain seems really boring. But the new Kahuna is cool enough they could have at least shown the second Guardian Pokemon as well, but whatever.

    All in all a decent reveal. And also Coro Coro has become obsolete for Pokemon news. I like this new method of periodic official reveals.

    • We’ll you missed out one detail. Tsareena would only be immune to Flying-type moves if Talonflame has the ability Gale Wings. And FIY, Kahuna Olivia looks rather smoking hot *growls*, just as attractive as Hilda from Black/White.

  223. It must have been said before but

    AR System + RKS System = ARRKS = Arceus
    Alpha-System = Alpha Pokemon

    It was obvious that Pokémon often spoken of in mythology that Type:Null was going to rival was Arceus after it has been revelaed that Silvally has the same ability and same type changing move thing going on with Arceus.

    It is a very strange Pokemon though. I wonder the story behiind it. Who would create a Pokemon from different parts of other Pokemon in order to rival Arceus? That sounds blasphemous in origin sense.

      • It’s more the name origin than the pronunciation to be honest.

        The name is a merging of SILVer and ALLY, because of the latter it therefore means that it would be pronounced (Silv-al-eye).

        Not saying mine is better, but it’s pronunciation comes from it’s root words.

      • Ok so…
        1. It’s pronounced not pronounces.
        2. Where’s your evidence other than people saying it incorrectly?

        Just because a bunch of peeps are doing it, doesn’t make it correct.

        • I can ask you the same question, smarty pants, wheres your damn evidence that it’s pronounced, the way YOU want it to be pronounced? Huh?. And just so you know, I already know that my spelling is bad, and you know what I don’t care, and I care even less when a know it all such as yourself goes all grammar Nazi on me. And just so you know, I didn’t quite know how to spell the damn word, so I used the auto correct thing, so it is the reason that is was written Pronounces, instead of pronounced, perhaps you should think of that before you go all know it all on some one. Plus it sounds better to say Sil-valley, instead of the way your pronouncing it.

          • @gymleadertori:disqus is 100% right. It’s not pronounced sil•val•lee. It’s pronounced silv•alī. Silvally is a combination of silver and ally. The proof is in its name in other languages:

            French
            Silvallié
            From silver and allié (ally)

            German
            Amigento
            From amigo (friend) and argentum (silver)

            Japanese
            シルヴァディ Shiruvadi
            From silver and buddy
