  1. The Last 2 Gens have been a real great way to give something special to Lapras. It’s a shame neither time they did.
    Honestly I think it would make a could Dragon type, either Ice/Dragon or Water/Dragon.
    Or we’re gonna go radical, Water/Fire, with a Big Volcano on it’s back.
    I’d say it’s still viable to use but lots of pokemon with megas are tbh.
    But I guess it’s good to get somekind of spotlight this gen, I swear I’m only gonna Switch to Sharpedo only when needed and go straight back to Lapras.
    Anyway here is some lame thing I did because we had a lesson years ago where we had to modify an existing character, it’s back story is that it was an ancient one that changed into this form using a special stone in the chain around it’s neck. (This was before X/Y and OR/AS even existed.) It’s awful. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/3a9496d53db6b79c68bbe0fab69a540d70caa065bc046bd59a953812f16b3d80.jpg

  2. So people were complaining that a certain bird pokemon’s evo this gen looks too much like the real creature. But that’s already been a thing for a lot of pokemon namely dwebble, ekans, omanyte, etc.

    Thoughts?
    Other examples?

  5. I’m going to name my avatar Starkid and then nickname all of my Pokemon after actors and characters from Team Starkid musicals (like Very Potter Musical or Holy Musical B@man).

    Anyone else do gimmicks like this in the past, or planning to do one?

  6. I have many prediction about Alolan Dugtrio type

    1- Water-Ground type u can realize Alolan Dugtrio soil looks darker than the original so maybe it get wet, im the demo we so it in another tiny island it looks it kinda cross the sea.

    2-Electric- Ground so maybe it has hair to charge it self …..I believe one of Tesla theory talk about electrical grounding(I am not sure about the name on english) but it talk about how discharge the electricity into the ground….so that could work.

    3- maybe the darker soil mean he will turn to rock type.

    4- ppl talk about Pele theory ….that’s mean it could be Fire-Ground, I have this idea before but now I don’t think so cuz Alolan Diglet is catchable at 1st island while no volcano there.

    5- it loos fashionable so maybe Ground-Fairy.

    • Just make it Ground for god’s sakes
      I only got 3 actual Pokemon to use for a Mono run and one of them isn’t even a true ground
      Hell if this keeps up i might have to freaking use outsiders…….consisting of the one ground type i’ve never used on a main game……………….Wor….worm….*pukes*….Wormadam…………..why does Gamefreak hate me…..they could’ve made Passimian a ground/fighting type if they shifted the fruit for stones…………………………………………………………………………..

  7. Someone on twitter just told me that there is a big chance of old balls returning in S/M because they changed the appearance of some of them and animations, I really hope this is true, it would explain why apricots are in the data

    Reply
    • CORNS… APRICORNS… and they were in XY and BW and they did some modifications to them like changing the lure ball’s color, still unobtainable without transfer.

      Reply
      • well sorry Mary but Apricorns are not a real word so I’m not going to fight with my computer for it to stop autocorrecting it

  8. Oh my gosh they changed the sport ball!!! it no longer has a stupid S on it they changed it to have a pokeball on it. so much cooler

        • I hate when people forfeit, I find they do it a lot more if you don’t use the cookie cutter teams everyone else does because at first they think you’re a noob and once you take out two of their pokemon back to back they freak out and quit

          • damn! Thats a lot of earthquakes, and yeah the gotta pull out that Zebstrika for the water types, although I’m sure your Liepard could fair well too

      • yeah, i may switch hippow stats so he can take water attacks. My main strategy is to paralyze as many pokemon I can with Liepard and then let Primeape, Girafarig, Pyroar, and Zebstrika clean while Hippow is my defensive to switch from OHKO from those pokemon
