  1. So looking at the videos, Guardian of Alola seemingly is a variant of fixed damage move that does 75% of the opponent’s health, although we don’t know if it’s basically a better Nature’s Madness or if it deals 75% of the opponent’s max health.

    It also appears that the Tapu will have to know Nature’s Madness to use Guardian of Alola as we can assume both are Fairy moves (Nature’s Madness via being shared between the Tapu, Guardian of Alola due to the dance sequence).

    That’s hella underwhelming imo

    But now I hope that the starters, Zygarde and legends have Z-Moves seeing as we now know that non Gen I Pokémon can get them

    Datamine Spoilers

    and iirc the datamined disc there was about 11 Unique Z-Crystals for Pokémon, which could be

    1) Alolan Raichu
    2) Snorlax
    3) Eevee
    4) Pikachu
    5) The Tapu (They probably share a ‘Tapium Z’ seeing as the move is the same for all four)
    6) Decidueye
    7) Incineroar
    8) Primarina
    9) Zygarde
    10) Solgaleo
    11) Lunala

        • I can only make out bits and pieces like Ash saying “What? That Pokemon?” and the Narator describing Tapu Koko as the Island Guardian.

          And Kiawe saying what I think is ‘explosion god’ but it could have several meanings. The ‘baku’ part is definately ‘explosion’.

          Then Ash rambling about his/Pikachu’s Z move.

          Nothing you couldn’t guess just by looking anyway 😛

  2. Other People: *Starter typings screw over team*

    Me: More Ghosts and Fairies!? YASS!

    Tbh I really hope that one of the leaked lines and Pikipek’s evos are Dark-Type just so we can have about five Dark Types and make up for it

    Surprising typings wouldn’t be a first this Gen

    (Read as: Owl that dies, Weak to Fire Sun Lion, No STAB on Moonblast Moon Bat, Highly Flamabull, and as a kinda twist, the swordfish that actually got a type that makes visual sense but we weren’t expecting due to the Oricorio)

  6. To all those who think the league wouldn’t be in the game (me) and instead be an empty promise (like the frontier in ORAS): Only alola champions can take on the tree, so no league = no tree.

  7. One thing that really bugged me about this trailer is that they showed off the pre-evolution for Lunala,but they didn’t show off the one for Solgaleo.I don’t get why they wouldn’t show off both.Other than that,this is the best trailer yet.

  8. Incineroar is growing on me so much. When I first saw it I thought: “Oh boy, another bipedal Fire starter.” But since I’ve seen its in game model in the trailer, I like it. It has so much character and heart, with funny expressions like when you pet it in an unfavorable spot, Incineroar is: “Whoa buddy. That ain’t right.” It’s slowly becoming one of my favorite Fire starters.

  9. Anyone else think Sun and Moon ver. of Red and Green will be shown at the end of the pokemon generation once we reach the end?
