Type: Null and its evolution Silvally are odd Pokémon, and I don’t just mean their chimera-like designs. Ever since Type: Null was first released, folks speculated that it might receive an alternate Form without its mask, but I don’t think anyone expected that it would evolve. I doubt anyone was imagining such a weird way of evolving either — most Pokémon transform into a bigger, stronger and tougher-looking version of themselves when they evolve, or they just turn into more than one of themselves (no offense to Magneton, Dugtrio or Vanilluxe). When Type: Null evolves into Silvally, its head and tail turn from gray to white and it loses the helmet, and that’s about it. But there could be a different reason why this evolution happens the way it does: character development.
Even when Type: Null was first revealed, we knew it had been created by humans, joining a short list of manmade Pokémon that includes the Porygon line, Mewtwo, Genesect and Magearna. According to the Pokémon Sun and Moon Official Website, it “was constructed to synthesize the strengths of various Pokémon, enabling it to adapt to any situation.” The website also says that Type: Null was created to be “powerful enough to rival those Pokémon often spoken of in mythology” in order “to complete a certain mission.” Since Type: Null is a Normal-type that combines aspects of multiple types in its design, and because part of its mask somewhat resembles the ring around Arceus’ middle, plenty of Pokémon fans figured that this Pokémon spoken of in mythology was Arceus.
Upon evolution, Silvally gains even more similarities to Arceus. Its RKS System ability has the same effect as Arceus’ Multitype, the Memory hold items work the same way as Arceus’ plates, and the move Multi-Attack changes type in the same way Judgement does (or Techno Blast, for that matter).
But why would someone create a miniature Arceus?
According to Silvally’s page on the Official Website, it “is said to have been created in order to oppose a threat.” What in Alola is seen as a threat to humans and Pokémon? Ultra Beasts. It’s not officially revealed who made Silvally, but my money’s on the Aether Foundation. For one thing, they seem to be the only organization in Alola with the necessary knowledge and resources to create a mini-Arceus, and for another, they’re researching the Ultra Beasts. If this really is the case, somebody in the Aether Foundation must have decided that only a Pokémon with the adaptability of Arceus could prove strong enough to defeat the Ultra Beasts, but it proved impossible to find and capture an Arceus, so they decided to make their own.
However, Silvally’s wild nature made it impossible to command, so they fitted it with a mask in order to control it, and it became Type: Null. In terms of game mechanics, I suppose this would count as a devolution, similar to how some of Slowking’s Pokédex entries say that Slowking will revert back to Slowpoke if the Shellder is removed from its head. In terms of story speculation, it seems as if the ends are being used to justify the means — the Ultra Beasts must be defeated, so controlling a Pokémon with technology and treating it as a nameless, faceless weapon to use against the Ultra Beasts seems like a viable strategy.
I imagine that Gladion probably stole his Type: Null from the Aether Foundation, and it seems likely that he himself might have defected from the Aether Foundation at that time. I expect that at some point during the story of Pokémon Sun and Moon, the player will receive his or her own Type: Null from someone at the Aether Foundation. The Official Website says that Type: Null evolves into Silvally when it “gains a partner it can trust.” I’m not sure whether that means it evolves through Happiness or through the Pokémon Refresh feature like Sylveon and Pokémon Amie, but it establishes something new within the Pokémon video games: a Pokémon with a character arc. Many Pokémon in the anime have character arcs as they learn and grow with their Trainers, but in the games, that was mainly left up to the player’s imagination.
Type: Null was created to be a weapon with one purpose: to destroy the Ultra Beasts. However, a Trainer who sees beyond that and values Type: Null for itself rather than its power will be able to earn its trust. When that happens, it will tear off its mask and regain its true strength. It’s almost as if Mewtwo in the anime evolved when he turned on Team Rocket and destroyed their base, or when he realized that the gift of life has value for natural Pokémon, cloned Pokémon and humans alike. From the look of things, Sun and Moon just might have the best-written story in the series (although in my opinion, they would have to surpass Black and White in order to accomplish that), but we won’t know for certain until next month.
I just thought of something: I could name a Rockruff “GoodPoi” or even “WhosAGoodPoi”. Except for punctuation it sounds pretty cool. xD
Poi is a food from native Hawaii. Chinese dog trade?
Look up Hawaiin poi dog. It’s Rockruff’s inspiration.
Maybe the “Baby forms” are just forms of the legendaries trapped or whatever? And then maybe you have to do a ritual to release their power. Wait. ALL THREE LEGENDS HAVE THREE FORMS. Zygarde 10%, 50%, and 100%. Lunala and Solgaleo both have the minis, themselves, and their Full moon/ Radiant sun forms.
See, the order in the dex is odd, the one people think is the Lunala one is before the one people think is the Solgaleo one, while Solgaleo is before Lunala.
The leading idea now is that it’s a 3 stage split line. Which is rather interesting.
Also to me seems like the 3 Stages of how Planets and Stars are formed. (And moons obviously)
Looking forward to Eviolite strats
i want that thing gone and gone for good
or at least only allowing on one per team
You seem to be an expert on this, would an Eviolite Rhydon be good?
Cause I really don’t like Rhyperior much but Rhydon is a favourite
Rhydon is really a masterpiece.
it’s ok i mean unless you’re not up against that isn’t water or grass special sweepers
Got Lapras for that
i just hate that item
i once fought some asshole who had
m. Lop
Blissey
Chansey
Porygon2
Porygon-Z
and a Meloetta…..
very very VERY annoying
If you could have 1 Pokemon from each gen (Only 1 Starter, 1 Legendary and 1 Mythical Allowed but you don’t need to have them except the starter), which 6 would you choose, out of the 721 we have now?
Charizard, Misdreavus, Banette, Rotom, Maractus, and Phantump.
Good some Maractus love
I love Maractus! I’ve never met anyone else who genuinely likes it.
It’s not awful, Gen 5 had a lot of really cool Pokemon, my Favourite Gen Pokemon wise, despite my favourite Pokemon been Lapras
I’m in a similar position. My favorite is Banette, but Sinnoh had my favorite Pokemon overall.
I genuinely like Maractus. Never used one, but I like it’s design and background ideas lol
hmmmmmmm
Aerodactyl
Heracross
Aggron
Rhyperior
Excadrill/Emboar but Earthen never abandons Excadrill
Pangoro
and eventually Mudsdale or Lycanroc
You’re gonna have to go for Emboar as I said you had to have the starter but legends/Mythicals were optional
…..no Excadrill is always by my side
Emboar in reserves
Honestly thought you’d go for Swampert or Torterra
meh i don’t like them very much
Then any of the other Fighting starters that aren’t Emboar
Anyway do it myself.
Lapras
Raikou
Ninjask
Togekiss
Hydreigon
Chesnaut
This was not easy at all
I wanted to choose Chesnaught, but Feraligatr took over. He is my favorite starter until SM, then Rowlet3 takes the cake.
so pretty much what is my favorite from each gen?
Vileplume
I’m not sure about gen 2 I will give it some thought
Altaria
Purugly
Serperior
Vivillon
You could use Gen 2 as your Legendary?
I don’t really care for a lot of legendary pokemon though, I like the ordinary ones better. gen 2 was just so bland to me…. I’m trying to come up with something that sticks out but…
I myself only tend to stick to smaller legendaries, the one you could actually imagine a trainer with, in gen 2’s case the beasts.
However maybe an Eeveelution?
Heracross?
Tyranitar?
ok I guess if I had to choose, it’d be Furret. sooooooooo cute!
Arcanine
Ampharos
Zangoose
Togekiss
Volcarona
Noivern
None of those are starters
1. Farfetch’d
2. Feraligatr
3. Craudant
4. Toxicroak
5. Eelektross
6. Noivern
1. Charizard
2. Scizor
3. Rayquazza
4. Luxray
5. Volcarona
6. Clawitzer
A new May figure is being released soon. You could pre-order it from Ami Ami or PlayAsia. Bae is looking good. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/9070a00401bb39c16893d4530422d86b466c190d745ae081dbbd66acbee82973.jpg
NEED!
I wonder why Mudkip
cuz EVERYONE HERD THEY LIEK MUDKIP =P
Yeah but, who doesn’t Imagine may with Torchic?
So I’ve decide my next little project in the run up to Sun and Moon is to complete a living dex. I already have the majority of gen 1 and gen 2 done. Gonna start working on gen 3 next. It’ll be more about organization rather than actually completing the dex as I’ve already completed the National dex technically. I’ll only have to breed a little here and evolve there. should be more tedious that actually hard lol
I’ve already done that in both Y and Alpha Sapphire. I’m excited to do it yet again in Sun!
If you already have a living dex then why even bother? Just transfer your existing dex to the new games and catch the new mons lol
That’s not as fun! Besides, if I transfer then I no longer have the living Dex on whichever game I take them from.
That’s……….so irritating to me tho…..hahaha
To each their own, I guess. I just enjoy the collecting aspect of Pokemon the most, so I don’t mind doing it over. It gets more fun with each generation that adds more to the challenge, in my opinion.
I suppose…….*sigh*…….I think I’ll only do it once myself tho lol
I’m only transferring the important mons
I need to complete the pokedex. I’m not so sure about a living dex, but catching all the pokemon and having all their data in the dex would be great. I would also like mythicals in there, but I haven’t participated in the distribution this year. I just don’t have the patience for a living dex. Poke’tuber aDrive is trying to complete a shiny living dex.
Oh god a shiny living dex……….I can’t even imagine…..I have to admit the aspect of shiny hunting has lost its……..shine………*sigh* After a year and a half of shiny hunting and getting a reasonable amount I think I’ve worn myself out. I don’t have the patience anymore and I feel like I’ve gotten bored. I still like the idea, but my mindset won’t let me get into it anymore…..I think I just need a long break. Maybe after I beat Sun/Moon I’ll get back into it and have a new found energy to do it lol
I kinda wish they went back to only having masuda method for making it easier, they’ve lost their value otherwise.
Nah I like what they’ve got now. Dexnav is what really got me into Shiny hunting. lol If it weren’t for it I would only have the one Quagsire I randomly ran into in X as a prize. Well that and the shiny Pokemon they give out as events, but I don’t count them really lol
but there’s no more of that jolt, shock, and awe at finding a shiny anymore. when you rant into a legit one before, this feeling of panic and desire came up, you weren’t prepared, you have to do everything in your power to capture it. that’s all lost now that they are pretty much guaranteed.
But the surprise ones still do that right?
Shinies mean different things to different people.
heck yeah a completely random one is still pretty valuable. that’s a 1/2000ish chance, way more unlikely than the 1/200 ish ones otherwise, or the promised ones from chain fishing.
finding shinies still take time tho. I still get excited and surprised when I find one. Even if it’s one that I’ve been hunting for lol
I’m doing that WITH SM.
Silvally’s design is really handsome for a hodgepodge griffin-like chimera.
griffin my ass its a god damn cockatoo
https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/6/61/Cacatua_galerita_-perching_on_branch_-crest-8a-2c.jpg
Even better. Cockatoos are pretty birds.
Everyone likes a Cockatoo
if you read it too fast it takes on a whole new meaning
omfg
Fae strikes again
Unless it was intentional in the first place
I figured it was about a 50/50 chance 😛
here’s a thought: what if the threat Silvally was created to combat was Zygarde? if it was created by Aether Foundation (speculation) and they did something evil that would awaken Zygarde’s wrath (speculation), then maybe they anticipated Zygarde’s interference?
This reminds me of the idea that Flare used the X/Y Legends to attract Zygarde but got Thwarted before they could, this however would be the opposite.
I could see that. Aether would want to use Silvally as a weapon to protect themselves and then Gladion basically saved it from them and decided to fight for its rights. lol
I feel there may be more than 1, considering the Player has to get one at some point
I could see it as Gladion’s being the original and then after your defeat AF, Hala/Kukui go through AF’s labs and find out there was another. They would then give it to you as you’d be the most responsible person they know lol
I can’t really see Gladion giving his away. I mean, he has a great trust bond with it, plus he has a Silvally, so if he gave it away there would be no way to register Type: Null into the dex (unless you can breed it).
Right so that would mean there’s another. Like I said, maybe after everything is said and done the main characters find out AF had another one just in case and the player character is given it since they’re the hero? lol
Like, they lost the first, better make a second.
Yeah exactly. That way we’d be able to have Type: Null ourselves and Gladion could keep it’s close bond with his.
Before silvally I was sure he’d give you it, Silvally kinda disproved that
Yeah I thin that was a lot of peoples thoughts. lol
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/913deab731e200352847ea96df0c7daa47ad1ce20e08f39233f1728988492a63.jpg
whoops its upside down!
It’s a very cute drawing! there’s so many talented artist here. You did a great job! ^_^
The Biggest Null/Silvally mystery is… What Pokemon is it made from?
I used to think the starters, Rowlett Feet, Litten Body, Popplio Tail, but they look nothing alike the evos we know of…
Unless the starters have split evolutions.
Well if we truely haven’t seen the whole dex then maybe, but that seems unlikely
We still don’t know the starters’ and Rockruff’s secret, and I’ve seen it speculated that the demo is only a Sun demo as indicated by the day/night cycle.
That’s possible, but Lycanroc Midnight was in the datamine, as was Lunala.
This Secret thing is another mystery.
Maybe it WAS Type: Null itself. 😛
I am afraid there is no secret and they just said that to keep hyper that’s all.
It may have been a mistranslation
Yeah I know cuz that didn’t reveal in the site…….but at least Corocoro talk about some kind of secret.
Probably just ambiguous parts. I imagine its body parts are just to represent the types and not any specific Pokemon.
I did start to think that I just wanted to see other peoples ideas
Sorry didn’t mean to be a downer hahaha
It’s probably just genetic almagamations of various pokemon’s parts for each part, the tail looks like gyarados though.
And the purple scales look like these on Salandit evo belly.
The starters and rockruff share a secret…
See I thought that at first, the 4 Pokemon merged, but it’s appearance doesn’t really confirm that sadly. Though I can see how they could become it.
I know this post was made ages ago but they were never said to share a secret, just that they all had secrets.
I’ve gotta say, I’m WAY more excited for the 27th than all the recent announcements. This release has potentional to debunk the idea that the leaks are the complete dex, or not. Maybe they just want to mess with us a little longer so they won’t reveal anything just yet (or maybe they won’t reveal anything else at all, maybe it’ll be a secret, either way I still 100% believe that it isn’t complete. :P)
I’m hoping at least for Typing of some of these pokemon, specially diving bell spider
I’m hoping for Komala evo.
While I’m 99% Sure that’s all, as it’s easy to figure out the reason behind all the odd points, I’d love to be wrong just this once, we are long overdue an actual Dolphin…
Yeah, I’m not settling for pixie-like ‘dolphin’ that is actually a marlin. I can’t see how that’s a dolphin.
AGREEEED
wait somethings happening the 27th?
soooo… no? nothing is happening the 27th?
the Pokémon company announced that there’ll be more Sun & Moon News on October 27th. Which is what Ithsme is referring to =P
Because if they show ANYTHING that isn’t in what has been found in the Demo datamine, then there is the possibility that there are more Pokémon than what we had previously thought!
I am kinda worried about u.
What for? O_o
For being extremely disappointed……just Imagine this is the full pokedex how would u feel then?
I would feel dissatisfied, the same feeling I’d feel in November if this was complete. But it’s not just some random feeling of denial that I have here, my belief is backed with evidence. It’s not much, but it’s enough to convince me. I almost feel like the leaks were intentional at this point (not yet sold on that).
Off topic, but it’s your favorite Dedenne’s birthday today! 😀

Did really Dedenne have birthday?
happy birthday! I got you a shiny trevenant!… 3 years ago… 🙁 I’m sorry, I always feel bad about that. I promised you one of my shiny trevenants but I disappeared for a couple years.
Happy Birthday!
fart
Yay, the Dedenne avatar is back! 😀
Also happy bday!
Happy Birthday Dicie 🙂
Sorry I was late Dicie, I don’t come by as often due to life things. Hope you had a great day 🙂
Thank you (and everyone else) very much! I had a fantastic day, and everyone’s wishes are greatly appreciated <3
Happy Birthday!!
Happy birthday! :3
Didn’t the chinese leaker say that there was a cat that could change it’s type base on it’s parent? while sivally is vaguely cat-like it doesn’t change it’s type based on it’s parent. So maybe there are more pokemon to be revealed.
I doubt Silvally can breed, and it changes it’s type based on ITEMS, so this is more evidence lol.
That wasn’t the Chinese leaker, that was just a leaker who based his “leaks” on the Chinese leak
yo since a new wow patched dropped there was a new pet
http://wow.zamimg.com/uploads/screenshots/resized/501094.jpg
i need a clever name for this Falcosaur
I have a name!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F4Bi9cZ7YA0
To clarify:
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA THAT WAS HILARIOUS I DID NOT EXPECT THAT!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh cool. I just got the rare lesser panda today helping out a guild mate in FF14. So adorable.
https://i.redditmedia.com/GZz5F39gWOJVYDTaYwjhVJVv9m0jOyfb-e9WCDFAuCk.jpg?w=320&s=fc699a9b2f343eb4840a6507056d0ef9
I’ll get the grill lit
good idea. Let’s roast that potato that panda’s perched on.
You read mah mind
Yeah man. I don’t mind them that much, and their are some that are legit good characters(mainly the mad bulls son and his great hair), but I’ve never cared for them. I’m all about those tall races like the dragon people and the elves, despite their weird lanky bodies(though that’s mostly just the ladies).
Yeah I prefer my woman on the large size, both in height and weight Wow doesn’t provide many Amazon Women except maybe Night Elves and Pandaren
Still waiting for the expansion that’ll finally make Ogres a playable race
If I had one I would be either Thrunk or Guttocks and either a Warrior or Monk
Hmm… “Night Elves” (or any elves) are the last race I’d think about when I want amazons… why not Tauren? Or maybe you only play Alliance so that’s why… so how about Worgen?
Tauren gals though beefy…..literally, don’t do it for me
How bout Petryx?
that is cute, maybe I’ll have to renew my sub if it’s limited time only
So this is gonna sound a bit weird and out of the blue, but does anyone remember that in the first trailer there was a part where there was a Pokemon image under a piece of paper, and there was a bunch of buzz on what that was. Did we ever find out? O_o I feel like people sorta forgot about it entirely.
I’m not just crazy, this was totally a thing, right? I can’t be the only one who remembers something like this.
Ok ok, forget about that, but what about the thing at 1:44/1:45 Am I overthinking this? Could this just be Zygarde?https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=hmzDL1l3Fag
Where exactly?
Right of the papers with the Pokemon center images.
To the right of the Pokemon Centers huh……? I don’t even think we can see that far over…..I wanna say maybe you’re just crazy guy lol
If I had to guess, its concept for how the pokemon center doors slide open.
According to a thread on 4chan explaining why we may have more Pokemon to be revealed, someone quoted a “pink long eared Pokemon” that was supposedly in a trailer. Can anyone confirm or deny this?
I think I know what you are talking about and if I remember correctly, its was not anything new and just something we already saw, but people made a big deal about.
Gotcha, thanks.
I cant seem to remember the details though… kinda wish I could back it up a bit more
after some research, I do believe we found that pokemon to be snubbull, it was at an awkward angle where we only saw a fraction of it in the shot, so everyone jumped to conclusions.
It may have been snubbul.

Am I only one who thinks that the people who thinks there’s more new Pokemon are just in denial. You’re just preparing yourself to be hurt even more, rather than just accepting the facts.
I think you are right. I have a feeling that due to the nature of the recent gens, they simply need to add fewer pokemon than they used to. but as long as pokemon keeps going, I couldn’t be happier. I’m sure that eventually, with enough negative reaction to the amount of new creatures, they will listen and add more new ones when another gen comes around.
I do prefer to think there’s no new Pokemon beyond what was shown, so when there actually is any, I’d be pleasantly surprised and more hyped.
Yeah:
Believe there’s still more:
-True: +1
-False: -2
Believe there’s no more:
-True: +0
-False: +2
I’ve learned after the ORAS datamine, I was totally in denial that the Battle Frontier wouldn’t come. But alas, it never did so… I’m 100% sure that these are all the new mons. Kinda odd that Magearna is the only Mythical Pokemon this gen tho.
Well Marshadow could be a Mythical as well
Say what you want, I’m standing firm to this lol
Okay, but it’s not my fault if you get disappointed when the games come out. There’s nothing to lose if you accept the facts…I warned you.
Just let people be happy.
I feel there’s more, but not a ton more. More just wishful thinking on my part (Komala evolution, etc.)
Not even 7am and three losses because of Legends
Always the fucking legends ALWAYS
If Magearna is the only Mythical, and we can obtain it early, then how will they keep players coming back to Sun and Moon in the period before the next games? In the past Mythicals have been spaced out between the games’ release and the next generation to keep us interested, but without that incentive it makes me wonder what they’re planning.
Oh who gives a shit, the stupid thing is probably going to be an absolute annoyance once it goes live,
And if they let it have Stealth Rock I’m gonna be pissed but the last thing I need is yet another bulky mythical sitting around doing nothing while it somehow absorbs every blow and wins
Just get rid of all the legends
I guess I somewhat agree. I’ve begun to dislike Mythicals because they give them no backstory or explanation as to why they’re being given to a 10 year old. My point is what can they do differently when all they’ve done in the past is give us these legendaries on silver platters?
It’s so god damn morbid that they just shovel out op legends
Do you know how annoying it is to wake up every morning and get a Psychic mono which consists only of legends and Slowbro? Or the ever annoying Dragon mono which always the same thing lati, gar, Dragonite, black Kyurem and Hydregion all broken and overpowered
Flying monos who only use the genies and bulky Zapdos
Then comes the Steel who abuse Heatran to no end AND THAT FUCKING BROKEN JIRACHI SPAMMING IRON HEAD
Just too many overpowered legends and nobody will ever stop using them
Just once I want a whole year of Legends on Lockdown, nobody can’t use them, that way people can’t just fill up a team with cookie cutter teammates
But in the end I’m just pathetically wasting my breath because it’s only going to get worse and worse because nobody will stop unless forced which can’t be done
Victini had a Backstory, where you had to get it yourself.
Deoxy’s too in OR/AS.
I can’t remember the rest but yeah mostly given to you.
just FYI we are only 10 in like one game, every other game the protagonists are teenagers
Can’t wait to use Magearna and sweep your team 6-0
piss off
The thing we believe is Marshadow is Mythical too as it comes after Magearna
God I know it’s going to be a bitch to deal with
You think Legends and Mythicals are Bad, just wait till everyone is using Ultra Beasts
and watch that not a single one of them is Ground
I think it’s possible that they may be Triple Type, and that all 18 Types will be covered in some way.
I get a Ground Vibe from the Crab looking one.
It isn’t the full dex that’s why
Maybe they revealed it so early so that it wouldn’t be leaked again like the Kalos mythicals.
I’m naming my Type Null “Nina”
My friend just said that playing Mercy is ‘only pressing two buttons’
In the meanwhile he probably says Symmetra is a bad character and Bastion is broken
Your friend sounds smart.
Must not be difficult to sound smart to people like you :p

Minaj’s face here is so terrifying… that smile at the end… Disturbing…
I am the Queen of Shade uwu
Dam I thought today is 27th.
nope, tomorrow is just gonna be another disappointing day
If there’s a trailer it will be not.
and what if it only reveals Alolan persian dugtrio and maybe one more stupid thing
I never want to see either of those abominations
damn that hurts….
I must speak my mind
SNARKiesha had so much potential. RIP
Right?? Just make a really cool looking evil-ish cat. But noooo they had to make Hey Arnold into a pokemon
For you, maybe, but for others their new favourite Pokémon may be revealed
Am I the only one who kinda likes Alolan Persian and Dugtrio? The games have never taken themselves seriously and they both have character, unlike ‘generic cat’ and ‘let’s just put three whack-a-moles together’
I like them for comedic sake but like I still kinda wish Persian was more proportionate, but hey I will still probs use one of each at some point
Alolan Persian looks more like an actual Persian to me.
I had a persian cat, its head was proportionate to its body
I was talking more about the face.
Yeah, Alolan Persian’s face is flat, whereas Kanto Persian looks more like a Siamese cat.
Yeah, I do wish Persian was a bit fluffier and more proportional but I feel the current design is good enough tbh
I don’t hate them, but I don’t love them. Although I’ve never been a fan of them to begin with. The only Alola version I love is Vulpix and Ninetales because I’ve forever wanted an ice fox, and Vulpix was my very first favorite Pokémon ever.
Alolan Ninetales is perf
No it’s not
It should’ve been pure Ice or the very least Ice/Ghost or Psychic but then that would clash with Marowak which should’ve been Ground/Fire like a savage warrior but nope
Sorry, forgot you know better than GameFreak
Both types make perfect sense >->
I “do” know better
No, you don’t, and you never will.
Yeah I do
You’ll never know more about something than the creator did as they created it
That goes for everyone, not just you
That’s only because I can’t get a say in the process
If I could talk business with the creation team then we could see different outcomes
While you’re at it, demand better treatment for Ash. Since I recently found out that Masuda does have a say in the anime plot.
The whole point is that you don’t know anything because you’re not an employe! And even then, you’d still never know as much as the person who decided that Alolan Ninetales was Fairy in the first place as the choice was in their mind, something you’ll never be able to directly access.
And maybe if you were on the team you’d see why they made such a choice, because they’re professionals in the field who know better than every single person on this site combined tbh
Yap yap yap I still think I could do such a better job and actually make Alolan forms make sense
They don’t make any sense. They’re an excuse so that they don’t have to design brand new Pokemon
Exactly
Tbh I feel it could be the other way round, quick add ons to pan out the paltry Pokedex they’d given as, as well as to cheat the fact that they’re approaching 1000 Pokémon
You just said they don’t make sense and then went ahead and explained why they make sense… Nobody cares what you guys think anyway
Of course you would still think that, you completely disregarded the argument rather than either tackle it or just agree to disagree.
You aren’t as good as professionals in the field, and a lot of your argument is based on subjectivity because of course you’re going to think your idea is better, despite others showing opinions that are quite the contrary. Simple as.
You get ground type! You get ground type! You all get ground type!
Have to agree with Earthen on this. They’re exploiting Fairies now. There’s no legitimate reason to give Alolan Ninetales Fairy typing.
Alternatively: There is a legitimate reason, but you don’t know it because you’re not a GameFreak employee
It’s based on a fucking Japanese FAIRY tale
Well if you actually understood what ninetails is based on, you would understand why fairy typing makes perfect sense
I think it makes sense to be Fairy, yes Psychic and Ghost also make a lot of good sense and I’d love to see that but they didn’t die when they came to Alola…so that rules ghost out. As for psychic no justification besides the very fine line between psychic and fairy designs. I think they chose fairy to give it some back up resistances to balance the newly adapted Pokemon to their surroundings.
Ghost/fire is clearly more interesting than the overly used ground and fire typing combination. And there’s really nothing wrong with ice/fairy ninetails either but ice/ghost or ice/psychic would have sufficed as well. I mean to each it’s own but it’s just weird because you say your opinion as if they’re hard facts
I don’t really care one way or the other. I think they both look goofy and I do like that, but I can’t see myself using them necessarily lol
I wanted an epic Egyptian themed blue cat…. slender and beautiful, with dramatic eyes and maybe even striped pharaoh hair and a beard, with more jewels etc. So I loathe alolan Persian. It’s truly a mess.
Tbh that was quite a lofty hope seeing as Alolan Meowth didn’t set up to that at all
Actually it did
Everyone forgot they were raised by royalty for quite some time which caused them to be spoiled snobbish and prideful
Persian of regular descent aren’t always pampered so they had to prowl and hunt for food so thus earning their lean physique but Alolan Persian were probably spoiled to death, and those Royal types probably bred them constantly until they looked the way they wanted them to
Just because the thing’s spoiled doesn’t mean it’s going to become Egyptian royalty specifically
And I didn’t ‘forget’, I just didn’t think a smug, bland looking cat which has regional differences based on its treatment from a Hawaiian based region would end up Egyptian. I fully expected the thing to be a ‘beautiful Persian cat’ or a ‘fatcat’
i never said Egyptian Royal I was giving a in depth speech about the ramifications of selective breeding
Then what you said was pretty much irrelevant to what I said because I mentioned how it wasn’t going to become Egyptian royalty specifically as almost every Pokémon will have some sort of set up, arguably the only ones without it is the Clamperl line.
HAHAHA, No
Pokémon don’t need more macholooking-bearded/mustachioed-mons ¬¬
Nothing macho-looking about Egyptian pharaohs, in fact for the most part they looked the opposite.
I think Dugtrio is hilarious but Persian is gross
I swear the reason better be good
Because I just realized, every time I get in my car I’ll be reminded of them BECAUSE OF THIS

It was awful but I did get group interviewed by Twitch
Yes you’re literally the only one
Reminder: The Pokemon Bank Regi-trio event ends on Monday October 31st.
I payed in July but still the bank didn’t gave the regis.
You need to collect all the possible BP/Miles from the Bank before you get one of them
I did it already
