FEATURED DISCUSSION: What’s your favorite Alola Pokémon
Can I just say I’d love to f**k that Red?
No..?
Too bad. I wanna.
Gimme…
Stappp we have children here.
I think it’s at least a month too late to be worrying about that. I’m pretty sure there’s only one ‘offensive word’ I’ve never seen here, and I’ve only been here a few months 😛
I can use it if you want
I’d use it but I’d anticipate getting told off by the moderators.
Seemingly many people here do.
not i, i have this thing where i don’t like to get my wires crossed
Red doesn’t bottom… bye.
Who said he’d be bottom?
I just assumed since you said you wanted to f*ck him. 😀 xD
alright take it outside
and f*ck?
as longs its behind closed doors i could care less
But you told them to go outside
that i did now git out
He ain’t bad
Decidueye, Alolan Sandslash, Silvally (Dark), Lycanroc (Midday), Wimpod’s Evolution and Salandit’s Evolution. This will be my Sun Team, considering changing Silvally for Kommo-o or Noivern jic.
Say what you will about X&Y, but it had a really great regional dex, imo. It’s just a shame so few of them were new pokemon.
this
Like it’s really fun building a team when you’re playing through the games. I just generally use non-kalos mons lol.
made a new wallpaper consisting of me and my team. i like the way it came out actually lol

Still going for that Komala I see..
i love that little guy no matter what
I stopped caring when the dex leaked. It’s basically dead to me now.
hey atleast i got my signature eyepatch back
😀
You look a lot like a trainer who was just revealed today.. 😛
lol yea, it fits more with the tries to be evil look. skiddo wasnt that menacing back in the day
Why you got two fire types though. You know I disapprove
because
1. Cubone line is one of my favorite lines
2. deal with it
Damn, okay. I’m really feelin the love.
yep i love everyone
awww and he is holding onto mudsdale!
its part of the side stories i write for my team. Komala sees Mudsdale as a big brother
Great team! If it wasn’t for adorable little mimikyu I would use Alolan Marowak too
i swear i gotta get Paint on my new compooter
because sooner or later i gotta add Mudsdale and pallosand on my
Earthen Warriors poster
http://img08.deviantart.net/b1b7/i/2015/056/1/4/all_the_earthen_warriors__by_powerfuli-d8jjgpe.png
i use photoshop , and i could make you one
make me one what?
i could add mudsdale and pallosand rn if u want
not yet only when they have beaten an champion they earn a place on my poster
ah ok lets hope they do i like ur poster alot
lets hope they have a dreamworld art style
Your team is basically
http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Ground_(type)
not exactly
this is the current poster as of ORAS
http://i.imgur.com/o77cbC9.png
How come you have every line except Nidoqueen
because when I did that Nidoqueen was currently not used in a main run
I WAS using it on a copy of Leafgreen BUT SINCE THE PLAY&TRADE SOLD ME A UNLICENSED COPY IT DIED RIGHT AROUND THE CINNABAR GYM
Well you should just include her anyway.
eventually
Use GIMP, it’s free and people who don’t know what it is always give you funny looks when you tell them it’s a good image editor.
How do you make this?
Remember when rumours were circling that Decidueye would be Grass/Ground? How wrong that turned out to be! (though I liked the idea and was never opposed to a it losing its Flying type).
I love/hate that it’s Ghost. I don’t like to double up on types in my team, and I really wanted to use Palossand 🙁 …maybe I’ll just start with Litten instead :/
My brother was going to use palossand as well. I laughed at him.
It’s just so quirky and weird. I need it.
I like sandygast more than it, but even then the design isn’t my favorite.
As long as he can still learn the Fly TM (yes, it is now a TM), then we’re good.
If not, we’re still good, but I don’t get to ride on the back of a majestic owl. (IT’S 5’03”!!!)
Fly doesn’t work like that anymore.
Charizard only.
(Or at least that’s what I’m anticipating.)
PokeRide with Charizard, but in a datamine video, someonw found all the listed TMs with three being new, under a numeric name since the actual names are scrubbed. TM 76 is now Fly (replaces Struggle Bug).
Yeah, but that’s only for battle use, not overworld use 😛
If you think about it, You could use various moves outside of battle. Some were once HMs themselves (Flash, Dig, Rock Smash (in X/Y), Sweet Scent,…)
You could, but not this time round, they’ve scrapped the ‘moves outside of battle’ in favour of ride pokemon. Sweet scent and Teleport are probably the only exceptions.
Why cant we accuse Lillie of kidnapping? Cosmog doesn’t deserve that 🙁
Because Lillie is TOTALLY innocent
Then why not the Aether? Pokémon cruelty is illegal
Whelp, I didn’t see that coming.

ok yeah I love it
No lie, I actually like Incineroar a bit more after seeing him in-game and reading his bio. 🙂
GHAAAAAAAAAAAAA !!
imagine him spewing a mighty torrent of flames
What name would you give him? A Poketuber would name him after a wrestler, Bradshaw, so I don’t get the ref.
either Heatigre or Strong Bad
Either one is still better than Tony. :/
in case you don’t know who Strong Bad is?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6oiGj2ZiDxQ
I haven’t posted this in a while, so it’s time for Tiny:
http://i.imgur.com/epqnU2q.png
Probably Justin Hawk Bradshaw (currently JBL).
http://www.onlineworldofwrestling.com/pictures/b/bradshaw/08.jpg
JBL don’t deserve that.
Heh heh heh. The Poketuber who had this idea thinks he does… 🙂
I like it as Pokemon, but seeing this reminds me of an over protective body guard who ruined a special meeting I had with my idol. Ergh.. I hate thugs..
“You must be THIS TALL to ride!”
??
I was thinking of that kind of bouncer at the theme park instead of a bar.
Do you agree there’s something missing in sparkling aria? I mean, maybe it works like waking up slap so you give Primarina scald and Sparkling aria and enjoy the game, maybe with a serene grace ability (terribly broken). If not, what’s the point?
don’t say that ability in my presence
Actually it’s pretty common on feminine pokemon. But whatever, Fairy have all broken abilities. Serene Grace, Magic Guard, Pixilate,
only next to Prankster its the most broken ability
Pokemon with guts. Tbh they probably knew people were going to use scald instead as it looked like it will fit that role, so they wanted to RE something a little more unique incase people were trying to be creative. It would be cool if it was like scald though and burned multiple opponents, or what would make more sense is that it reduces accuracy, given the name.
I don’t think so, pokemon with guts hold a flame orb. So at the end of each turn they will be burned again and if Primarine is not faster it’s unuseful. While if it doubles the damage on burned pokemon then each turn will be boosted because of the burning coming again and again.
I wanna draw Lusamine but don’t know what pose to do >.>
hmmmmmm lets go through the list
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q6rJzB82sao
That is the perfect parody.
Maybe Decidueye is a ghost type because the owl that it’s based on is extinct..
or the fact owl’s are dark silent predators of the night
Then it would be a dark type
Not exactly. Remember in Japanese Dark more or less is the evil/dirty fighter type. Ghosts tend to be the night/mysterious pokemon.
I keep forgetting that dark is evil type over there. Lame
Protip: don’t forget XD
(And Psychic is actually ‘Esper’ which I’ve always found odd.)
Then Lunala should be Dark then.
It’s not dark itself, but is concealed in it.
So is Solgaleo, if it didn’t produce its own light it would be in complete darkness.
(Though technically Lunala actually reflects Solgaleo’s light.)
Well, to be fair, they don’t always have clear distinctions between the two types.
I feel the only reason lunala isn’t dark is because it would become too much like yveltal.
That or the Barn Owl (on which it is based) is also known as the ghost owl, death owl or demon owl.
They’re known for making scary noises at night as well, and they were traditionally a bird of ill omen.
Which probably explains why this is such nightmare fuel in my childhood movie.
http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/villains/images/f/f1/Barn_Owl.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20140528005414
Not sure what it is. The Secret Of Nimh?
I recall an episode of Scooby Doo where the monster was just a giant native american ghost owl that made an awful screeching noise and it was 10 times scarier than most of the other ghosts. (The willawaw)
http://vignette1.wikia.nocookie.net/scoobydoo/images/c/c0/Willawaw.png
It also had owl people following it.
http://vignette4.wikia.nocookie.net/scoobydoo/images/e/ee/Owlmen.png
I kind of wish Decidueye had claws like that instead of feather fingers 😛
The movie is Once Upon A Forest.
Never heard of it but it looks like it was probably better than it got credit for.
Oddly the ‘furlings’ were one of the 4 great races in Stargate 😛
ITS NOT WHISPY ENOUGH. They should have made it dark brown, replaced the orsnge features with purple ones, and given it haunting red pupils…. And the tips of it do feathers turn purple in a whispy way like alolan ninetales blue turns white… and dartrix should have been more emo inspired. Then I’d say the line would perfefg in my eyes. Also it’s lore could be more haunting…
Or, I reckon they’re just getting more creative with Ghost types (which to me, is a welcome change). Ghost Oricorio is said to call on the power of spirits. Alolan Marowak is said to have developed a “sixth sense.” Perhaps the lore behind Decidueye is similar?
I’d rather have more interesting Ghost-types than more possessed items and dead things (though I love these too).
Decidere in latin is “to die”.
What starter are you all planning on using now that the final evolutions are completely revealed? I’m still sold on using Litten or Rowlet first when I see the complete dex (not only from the leaks). I’m going to keep my first playthrough as Alolan Pokemon and Alolan Form only.
Popplio!!!
Litten! 😀 though will choose Rowlet in Moon
I’m sticking with just Alolan mons and no forms for my runthrough. Sure, the Alolan forms are new so to say, but it’s mons I sort of used before. I want to use mons I have never used before in any way.
As for my starters, I’m still sticking with Litten and Rowlet. Then I’ll restart my Sun copy and play with Popplio once that Rowlet adventure is done with. And for Popplio’s runthrough, I might have the language be set to Japanese, since I’ll know how the games go story-wise and it will help me become better with the language possibly.
Popplio!
I’m definitely using Popplio but can’t decide in sun or moon! I like Popplio the most, like I like lunala and the moon and night better than Solgaleo and playing in the day (boring). But I think it makes so much sense that Rowlett should be played in MOON! But Popplio 3s ballooons are said to be beautiful in moonlight…. and do I want to use Inferoar or Decidueye?
I pre-ordered Sun and Moon, and I chose Rowlett for Moon, and Popplio for Sun.
My decision has not budged.
Same as when that leak was circulating, Rowlet.
I’m sad that the leak came true because it ruined Litten, but I’m happy because Decidueye is a really good starter, despite its two major faults.
Rowlet hands down.
Easily my favorite starter ever.
My litten would begin its saga as a blank faced Litten whom i was kinda….forced to pick because my douche of siblings took the other two
It shows very concern for battling or me, but after a bunch of Yungoose ambushed it while walking into its loitering paths i quickly discovered its great agility and very above average ember attack
After some time fighting some Pokes it warms up to battling but that changed when we came across a high spirited Rockruff that bested it every time, even going as far to keep fighting even though exhausted
It started getting more…how you say competitive when rockruff joined the team and tried to win no matter what and always be numero uno even going as far to intimidate rockruff from fighting (which was totally ineffective) But biting more then it can chew it boldly tries to fight off a outraged group of Alolan grimer which in the fury to win it evolves into Torracat
Torracat still had a toxic attitude for fighting but i encouraged it as it forced itself to fight harder but that was put to the test when we challenged Olivia and her Rock Types
though i put it on the benches Torracat wanted to fight more then anything but it got his wish when Olivia’s Lycanroc took out my last pokemon and he was all i had left
Blow after blow Torracat tried to win but Lycanroc was too fact and impervious to fire attacks and was nearly ended by a super powerful Stone Edge…Torracat was not going to let another Lycanroc best it, it’s bell grew white hot and flames erupted from its neck engulfing it in an all consuming inferno BLAZE ACTIVATES it lets out a primal roar and evolution strikes transforming Torracat into Incineroar! Blind fury overtook his mind and stuck back with terrifying power setting the whole battlefield ablaze and with grim vigor it grabbed Lycanroc by the tail and preformed its newly learnt Darkest Lariat attack but also setting it on fire with Fire Spin causing a typhoon of flame causing major damage, Lycanroc was defeated but Incineroar was not satisfied, it blew flames everywhere burning everything to ash it began to growl eyeing down Olivia and got into a pouncing stance i scrambled to grab my Pokeball to recall it, i was nearly a hair late and Incineroar was sealed back into his pokeball before striking Her. this terrifying victory left a bitter taste in my mouth knowing that kind of demon resides in my Incineroar
Give this man a gold sticker, dang it.
to think i made this up on the spot
Dats how good i is
This is very creative but….
Who hurt you ? 😉
who hurt me?
Popplio 100%
Look I love it, one of my favorites, but why isn’t Lunaala Dark/Fairy?
That’s what I was thinking. It’s basically like asking why isn’t Solgaleo Fire/Steel or Fire/Psychic. It’s funny how Solgaleo is weak to the Fire and Lunala is weak to Dark.
I mean, the Sun isn’t really fire. It gives off light by nuclear fusion. And with the alchemy themes, Solgaleo’s makes sense to me.
For Lunala, I still agree what it should have been part dark, imo.
There’s also the Hawaiian thing with the green lion which is like oxidised metal eating the sun.
That’s what I mean by the alchemy themes, I just felt too lazy to type it out since most of us know about it.
It would be a lot better competitively. In my opinion, the reason it isn’t dark is because of yveltal. It would come straight after, and they both bare resemblance to eachother as it, being aviary creatures of darkness. So they went with ghost to change things up. Also lunala isn’t evil in anyway, it’s just related to dark and shadow. I suppose the moon itself is ghostly in that it only shines because of the sun…
As for why not fairy, I think there’s a few reasons. One, the tapus share already fairy. Going off that point, they may have wanted solgaleo and lunala to have a link in type too. Fire fairy dark fairy would be too many fairies with the tapus, especially in a gen wifh so many other fairies. Psychic has repeatedly had links to space as well – but at the same time how much have they really gone with the space or planetary theme this time ? It’s more day and night
Both legendaries have a focus on light; Cosmog, which is presumably related to the legendaries, grows through the absorption of light. If it is a preevolution or alternate form of Solgaleo and Lunala, its appearance may be altered by the intake of either Solar or Lunar energy. Lunar light/energy consumption results in Lunala, while Solar light/energy consumption results in Solgaleo. Since both legendaries theoretically require light to achieve their forms, a dark typing would not be particularly sensical.
In short: just because it’s dark at night, doesn’t mean the moon’s not bright.
Which version of Elesa should I draw?

I like the BW design more, imo, but I would like to see either one in your style 🙂
I preferred the first look tbh.
I vote for BW1.
Never played B2/W2, so I can’t say for sure. But I do like B/W’s design more. Don’t like the puffy coat tbh.
The original, that cloud thing looks ridiculous.
BW1 it is. I like both so I just couldn’t decide. I may actually do both if I have time
BW2. IS BEAUTIFUL!! Queenly vintage beauty with that furry cape thing. Why not be ultra creative and give her your own design!
Wat the hell is that Tapu Lele resemble it’s not squid nor snail ………its body looks like some kind of ant and the shell looks like some kind of bug. http://i.4cdn.org/vp/1477616121509.png
I dunno Tapu Lele screams snail to me. But other than that, I don’t have the faintest idea what else it could be
how’s that?
https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/6/69/Grapevinesnail_01.jpg
Lele has feelers, the pink body is like its shell, there’s a black thing on its bottom that looks like a snail’s tail. I dunno, it’s what I first thought of when it say it’s closed appearance. I see the butterfly now that people mention it, but the snail shape is more there for me than a butterfly
Bulbapedia says Butterfly
I was searching about starters name there but it’s hard to search there how can I get the full pokedex ??
http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/List_of_Pok%C3%A9mon_by_National_Pok%C3%A9dex_number
It’s a butterfly I think.
Lele is Hawaiian for butterfly. I agree though. It’s wings should have been much bigger. I think they were going for the face of the animals though instead of their bodies
how could u see it as butterfly ………wat this coin resemble then?
I don’t see it as a butterfly. Lele means butterfly in Hawaiian. I thought it was a baby in a push chair.
The hawaiian word for butterfly is pulelehua
I just say bug. Because it looks like a bug.
I was Implying that.
I thought it was a cuttlefish before, but now that I can see it closed up I’m not sure. I can’t really see the butterfly, honestly.
An Easter egg
100% If I get a female Primarina (I feel like Popplio is going to be the reverse gender ratio of the starters), I’ll name her Ballora. >:D
Plus it sounds like ‘balloon’ in the name.
Me I hoe it’s not reverse yet I have names for both
Male-Goofball (He looks too silly to care about such important things so he’s a Goodball)
Female-Mermaiden (based on a Yo-kai that literally is a mermaid)
I meant Hope not Hoe
https://twitter.com/RealShigeruM/status/791784044610646022
Now that today’s hype had settled down a bit I’ve realized we still don’t have a name for the sea urchin. What are you thinking it will be?
Armonemone
Going by existing names…
THORNFISH!
Going by the polls…
Urchin McUrchinFace
Going by sensibleness…
Plancipike
Or maybe Spinestar or Seaspike or something.
Have you noticed this is the first time that all of the starters have an immunity?
Yep. Someone else said it several hours ago.
litten learn wrestling.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0zOu76ylGLU
This is called boxing.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jbBE8UsSBTM
As much as it saddens me, that’s more like it.
Fair enough ………now ppl sure that GF didn’t make their concepts according to nothing.
That’s boxing, not wrestling.

“Free Battle also allows you to choose between whether you want to battle Special Pokémon (Legendary & Mythical) or not”
YES! THIS IS PERFECT!

Alright, that’s my team for my first run in Sun:
– Incineroar
– Lycanroc
– Alolan Raichu
– Wimpod2
– Silvally (Steel)
– Kommo-o
I have a feeling silvally will be post game locked.
Yay no way to get it before without trading (even though it will take people at least a day to get it)
My first playthrough for Moon will be Primarina, Lurantis, Comfey, Palossand, Salandit evo, and virus spider (unevolved).
Pokemon has brought an entirely new meaning to this image:
http://s2.quickmeme.com/img/ff/ffde10335cc32fc9dec8c731d5ab1b59db959ffd944e75391cbd501c0d2aa416.jpg
I wonder if Fairy will become weak to Ghost this gen. Like maybe like Gen 6 where the starters second types we’re in cycle (Fighting, Psychic, Dark) Gen 7 will be too with Ghost, Dark, and Fairy. Most likely not but still it’s an interesting idea.
I rather they be weak to fire
Yeah I agree. Fire already resists it so I could actually maybe see that happening. Either way it’s all just some food for thought
They cannot change the type chart after one generation. People get confused. Then, I don’t see a normal reason for Fairies to be weak to ghost if they are not scared of dragons, dark and Fighting Pokemon. The weaknesses of Fairy type are based on something that can destroy purity of nature like poison or steel over green.
Well the reason is in mythology Fairy magic was useless on iron cages and iron was poisonous to fey folk
They can do whatever they want to lol.
If that were the case Smelling Salts should incapacitate them
They can make Grass resist Fairy.
