FEATURED DISCUSSION: What’s your favorite Alola Pokémon
This theme is amazing omg
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_0JGcQFkdKI
idgaf about red, green, cynthia or wally (why……?)
but Incineroar YES on it being a fire/dark…..i was praying so hard not being part fighting Q.Q
archer owl being part ghost..nobody saw that coming, i tells ya NOBODY
I did
everybody else did of course but i don’t like a current gen whoring things from a past gen
like megas or alola forms for example and now this, so it’s like the 3rd game at least that cynthia has been in geez
Y we didn’t understand these eyes? …….y we surprised by ending Grass/Ghost? http://www.serebii.net/sunmoon/rowlet.png
New trailer https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0VC_GAHetj0
That pokedex preview tho.
The most stunning thing is Minior Z-move.
And now we know when charjabug evolves.
Vikavolt evolves at level 40?! O god why.
No vikavolt doesn’t evolve 😉
that’s a sign how strong he is.
I was thinking with the kid going away from Hawaii does that kind of hint that we might also go to a different region in game???
Kanto is the legit one.
the exeggcutor z-moveeeeeee
Something about that kid’s response after his friend used explosion cracks me up
This is defenitly the last “keep training” trailer we will get
So PWT is kinda returning, it’s awesome.
I thought Tapus would be based on Lono(grass), Ku(electric), Kanaloa(water) and Pele(fire), just missed the Lele’s typing, but psychic makes sense since it plays mind games on people.
With that shocking ghost typing for Decidueye, I really wonder what the typings will be for some of the unrevealed ones from the datamine? I’m hoping the weird bubble spider thing is electric/water, kinda gives me vibes of both types. Also think the anchor is water/ghost. May do an all ghost team in Moon, so many amazing new ghosts this gen and Alolan Marowak.
You said the exact type I wanted for both those mons
We have an overkill amount of water types. I want Bug/Dark or Dark/Electric.
seeing as Primarina is water/fariy and has a huge advantage on Incineroar fire/dark also he a huge advantage on Decidueye grass/ghost, do you think they make shake up the typings again and make ghost super effective on fairy? this would make Decidueye has a double advantage on Primarina as aswell, I also think Fairy is currently over powered and a ghost weakness could nerf it.
Then the starter typings would reflect how gen 6 starter all has massive typing advantages over each other.
Incineroars fire type makes Primarinas fairy neutral damage. He’s the only one of the three with a two type advantage over another.
but ptimarina is the only starter who resists both types of another starter.
Cosmog description says “when light falls on this Pokémon, Cosmog absorbs it and grows”. It will probably evolve into the golden ring Pokemon in the leak because that Pokemon seems to have a black hole in the middle of it and it seems to come after Cosmog in Pokedex.
The Stages of creation of a Star/Planet
Except it absorbs mostly thermal energy.
A Nebula is clearly what Cosmog is based on.
“Nebulae are often star-forming regions, such as in the “Pillars of Creation” in the Eagle Nebula. In these regions the formations of gas, dust, and other materials “clump” together to form denser regions, which attract further matter, and eventually will become dense enough to form stars.”
Cosmog = Nebula
The one after = the “Clump”
Solgaleo/Lunala=Star/Moon (Which is made the same way a Planet is)
It makes sense. That must be why they’re so close to the end of the dex.
Am I the only one who thinks that they show what moves do super effective on a Pokemon is also due to the fact on how trollish some Alolan Pokemon typings can be?
Rate my team pokemon Sun. (update)https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/d5ca9a94081aad2ccb61f677010a246fe017d0c72ad4f8da5b852b37c175ee25.jpg
probably Decidueye can learn shadow snake??
I have a feeling Arcanine and Ninetails will be version exclusives, based on the fact that most of the time they are, but maybe as one is Alolan that might not be the case this time.
needs more Bewear. lots of teams have this problem. otherwise, good.
I was really hoping at least 1 of the Guardians would have a Unique Type, Fire/Fairy, I mean, who saw that being Grass.
In the end it just means all 4 have a used type already…
Hi people! I’m new here, love this website and the community!
Just wanted to point to something I spotted in a trailer.
Not sure of it but I thought it looked like Mew! perhaps with a different tail?! If am wrong please correct me! https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/9657deda2e870ee5e4abb7779f87b3f3bd0d39948d42ef186026c13bcb528ea3.png
Oh btw, zoom is needed
It looks like a couple of mews tbh
I’m pretty sure that’s actually just a flower. I’d have to review the footage, but I know the area behind that is where the BP(?) exchange takes place.
Though these starters are good, they’re still not as good as the Sinnoh ones. It does not look like a ghost type… lots of Pokemon are quiet, doesn’t make them ghosts.
It’s likely Ghost because the species of owl it’s based off of is extinct.
Barn owls are also known as “Ghost owls”, and owls are typically considered supernatural
That’s immediately awesome
I honestly think it has some sort of spiritual connection. I mean, it’s a bond… A spirit bond… So it’s a spirit owl….. Nobody can question this typing, because Alolan Exeggutor is a dragon
It’s a dragon palm. Look it up. 😉
I know, but. GYRADOS is a dragon, it’s not a dragon type
Yeah after dragon exeggcutor, anything goes
Someone also made a point about dying leaves in the fall but I really do wish it was more ghost like in appearance
Charjabug evolves at level 40.
Let’s hope that was just for show and isn’t true…
But it means it’s probably not Beedrill stats
I mean… Charjabug can learn a lot of moves.
In the japanese trailer when it showed off Cosmog, it seems that it may be the pokemon that was in Lillie’s bag and that she gives it to you. Also it didnt seem to be version exclusive to Moon suggesting that it’s not Baby Lunala. What if the 2 “baby forms” we saw was actually 2 stages of one line? Cosmog could evolve into the one that looks like an eye and then that could evolve into Solgaleo or Lunala depending on which game you have?
Evolution isnt a usual thing for legendaries but what I mean by “evolve into”, I mean like how in X, Xerneas was a tree before Team Flare turned it into Xerneas. This could be a similar case except we have the thing that turns into the legendary? I realize that there are some flaws to this theory like “Would we have to have Cosmog on our team and carry it to the altar so it could turn into the legendary” but I know this pokemon is special. Damn this has got to be the longest thing I’ve written on this site but after seeing that japanese trailer show off Cosmog, making it look so important to the story, I just had to.
Ooh what if at the altar Lillie brings the evolved Cosmog or the other “baby” and the 2 combine and form the legendary. Okay I’m rambling now ._.
Ooh I’ve come up with a joke you’ll probably won’t get:
One day, Incineroar and Primarina received a letter from their friend.
Primarina quickly opened it, and found out that the letter only had two words written on it; “Do I”.
“What did it say?”, asked Incineroar, to which Primarina responded:
“Decidueye”
Explain please it looks like a good one
“This said Do I”
LoL definitely the worst starter name in years
What?! Decidueye is a great name! I personally love it.
Yeah I thought that’s what it was but considering Decidueye is pronounced Diss-id-U-I, I was a little confused.
OMG XD
For Incineroar, if his HA ability is Sheer Force these are good move sets IMO
Flamethrower
Dark pulse
Nasty Plot
Protect/???
Life orb
Sword dance
Sucker Punch
Knock Off
Darkest Lariat
Life orb
I hope Primarina’s move is crazy strong to make up for the stupid side effect
I like to call Sparkling Aria “Opposite Day Scald”
If it has the same power it should be named S-H-I……
Really depends on the stat build
They might pull a Mystical Fire and have Darkest Lariat a meager attack
But who cares everyone is just going to use Knock Off
Knock off will have a power of 65*2*1.3*1.5 with life orb. DAMN dark explosion. It’s one of the best moves ever
Litten looked fast and mixed with slightly higher attack than sp atk. So what do you think about these move sets now?
Here’s hoping it gets will-o-wisp for more shenanigans
Are you serious?
It has to learn Wisp via TM very little Fire types can’t learn it
Unless they make it a slow bulky physical with those nice weaknesses :3
It’s not slow
If you saw the last japanese gameplay video litten was fast
True, but you never know.. They may change something :3
It will probably get the relatively useless Anger Point
Hey don’t mock anger point
Doubles get a specially weak Ice type, breathe Frost Breath and get mondo attack
I’m kinda hoping they get new “unique” abilities like the previous starters.
“stupid side effect” I’m sure this move is going to be like wake up slap and smelling salt where it doubles in power when curing a status ailment. I don’t know about you, but when I have a bulky team, I tend to pack a lot of ways to burn opponents.
Or moxie
What if we didn’t go back to Kanto directly but instead travelled to the Sevii Islands? That’s technically Kanto, and it’s not so much data that it’s impossible to fit in (plus, it fits in with the whole island theme).
That would be awesome
The only thing that still slightly bothers me about Incineroar is the hands. They’re like a bunch of sausages. I don’t care that much though. They all look really good in-game and it’s not Fire/Fighting
Just think about it shredding flaming Night Slashes or jumbo sized Fire Punches
I mean it is a tiger they have huge paws
But the size of the palm is so small compared to the “fingers”
Not that small
I like those giant fists
Yeah. I guess.
It would be looked better with creases ,though. Then they wouldn’t look like sausages
They have huge paws, but not that huge.
Paws, chest, bi-pedal parts bother me.
Well today is the start of a good day! My phone is at 40 percent charge cause I passed out before I could plug the charger in, and I found a bug in my binder…
Hope your day gets better! Mines starting off bad too, woke up to an overheated apartment since our heater broke and won’t shut off, and my bus was late 🙁
I’m still going to have all three starters on my main play through on Moon version. I am getting both game’s, and I will use the Sun version, to get the other two starters.
And I am nicknaming them after Robin Hood characters.
Decidueye shall be (of course) Robin Hood
Incineroar shall be Little John, and
Primarina shall be Maid Marian (and I will reset until I get a female Popplio.)
Haven’t decided yet what I am naming my Rockruff (maybe Nottingham if its a male), or my Mimikyu (maybe Prince John or Trigger), but my
Jangmo-o shall be named King Richard. LOL
And yes I am serious about all of them having Robin Hood themed nicknames. 😀 (At least on my main play through, on other play through’s they’ll have different nicknames. 🙂 )
there is another new japanese trailer for Sun and Moon
there is a new trailer out and it looks like Charjabug will evolve at lvl 40 it is at the 1:20 mark
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0VC_GAHetj0
I really liked this trailer and mini-series overall. I feel as if it caught what makes this game so appealing for people of all ages. This video also convinced me to use Minior in my first playthrough.
i know i love these commercials so many feels
Anyone know where to find that cereal image? My housemate wants to play as Kelly Ogg and nickname appropriately.
I believe @defensivebastiodon:disqus wanted to see Red with a beard https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/18504115e82299fa7cde099de7f1fbc3cbf6e7fb0044c4b470e7de4a613459fd.jpg
Omg Daf!!!!!
