FEATURED DISCUSSION: What’s your favorite Alola Pokémon
Grass/Ghost is honestly a surprise! I cannot wait for the Battle Tree! I wish Red had an Alolan Pikachu to step up the difficulty. Anyways, I’m pumped!
I love the Grass/Ghost curveball they just threw at us.
EXACTLY
Incineroar is now on my top starter list with its given bio. <3 It's going to be so weird starting with a Fire type. Guess gen 7 is bringing me back to my roots. Lol
So upon looking at th site and watching the trailer again I think anyone looking for the whole Pokemon league treatment is gonna be sad in a way. I think that we’ll only be able to challenge the E4 and Champion and there won’t be gyms. I imagine it’ll be somewhere along the lines of you being accepted as being worthy of just jumping straight to the E4 and not needing badges or anything. thus why they wouldn’t require you to go to gyms…..which to me is a little sad……While I find the old system boring I would like it to be a thing in the games now that we know that the main story will be more robust.
Primarina is literally the definition of a Pixilate Hyper Voice spammer.. that thing better have Pixilate just saying
(Proceeds to get water veil)
Why do you say such devilish things
Because, it gets an attack that eliminates burns, and it LOOKS like a mon that would have it
If it gets Pixilate I’m going to kill myself
This thing would be your worst nightmare omg
It already was
It ruined Popplio for me
Yet another freaking fairy which I’ve spent so much time and energy proving it wouldn’t be
And the bile in my throat tells me it’s going to be bulky which is yet ANOTHER headache to be
Just nothing good has come from this generation and never will
throat chop will save u for 2 turns
It’s def getting it lol
Here’s hoping it’s gets Aroma Veil instead
From the conditioner it obviously uses to get such luscious locks? :p
that video gave the starters so more justice. they all look incredible. honestly is on my top 3 of the starters trio
also because Rowlett is not flying type anymore I can use MINIOR AHHHHHHHHHH
Wait Minior is flying? I thought it was psychic ? these unique typings are really gonna mess me up this gen?
I would’ve preferred that the Tapus, or at least one of them, had a new unique type combination.
right! i wish they went fire/fairy and ghost/fairy
At least one of them you can see why it is Water, the other, nothing says Grass at all, seriously thought it was a dead cert for fire
Gamefreak logic
bulls eat grass… THROW ON GRASS TYPE
Well, Fire/Fairy would’ve been new, but Mimikyu is Ghost/Fairy.
A type clash would have been fine cause the way it is now it still shares a type with mermaid seal
This is the first generation where I think I might actually use all three starters in my first playthrough. These are the best starter typing combinations and designs since GEN 4!
Now that’s a real Fairy uwu
“Tapu Lele scatters glowing scales that physically affect others—providing stimulation to their bodies and healing their illnesses or injuries. But these scales can be dangerous as well, because a body can’t withstand the changes brought about by contact with too many scales at the same time. It will scatter its scales over humans and Pokémon for its own enjoyment; while it is innocent in one sense, there is also cruelty in the way it casually brings others to ruin”
And for Tapu Fini
“Since it hates to risk harm to itself during battle, it prefers to create a thick fog that puts opponents in a trance and leads them to destroy themselves.”
Beautiful ;-;
I know, I love them so much. 🙂
Decidueye is probably my favourite starter so far tbh
I’m so glad it’s Grass/Ghost.
Incineroar is my favorite now. Decidueye is up there tho!
Incineroar looks better in game but I’m still kinda disappointed.
Same! The Ghost type really improved my team as well!
I’m surprised they changed Decidueye’s type from Flying to Ghost. I wouldn’t have thought they’d do that. It’s not like flying type would have been a bd fit for its theme. It’s a good change, but certainly an odd one lol
maybe because Owl as a spirit animal represents wisdom? something it seems Decidueye has?
The name is also hinting at death a bit, as “Deciduous” is a tree or shrub shedding its leaves annually, which in a way is sorta like death in the sense that you have dying leaves. I believe its’ name is a combination of Deciduous and Deadeye. The latter part being a reference to a sharpshooter, which matches the archer theme, being based around precision aiming.
Owl’s not only represent wisdom, but also bad omen’s and death to come which fits with Ghost
Do you think that since Primarina is double effective on Incineroar, they all will be double effective against each other like the Kalos Starters therefore meaning Fairy could gain a GHOST weakness, or am I just crazy…
Actually fire neutralizes the weakness to fairy
Nah. They don’t have to make everything balanced like that.
It would make fairies a bit less broken though
Fairies aren’t broken :p
Their type is a bit overused at least.
Eh I’d say it’s more catch up, if the special treatment continues next Gen I feel even I’ll get a bit annoyed
It’s only regularly effective
Fairy would only do neutral on a Fire/Dark and Water super effective
Fire Resists Fairy though, if I recall correctly.
Incineroar: Fire Dark
Damaged normally by 7 types
4x weak to 0 Types
2x Weak to 4 types
1/2 Resistant to 6 types
1/4 Resistant to 0 types
Immune to 1 type
Did anyone notice the ’96 on Red’s shirt! Also, I kinda wish the other trainers got redesigns for Alola. Just to match the warmer climate.
@ cynthia wearing BLACK FUR in one of the hottest regions in pokemon history. Which is kinda sad because we know she has summer clothes based on the black and white anime
From red we can determine how far after X/Y and B2/W2 this is. (They take place at the same time, and red is in B2/W2)
I’d say about 2-3 years after. That seems the norm.
I think I have a good idea of the Pokemon timeline. Red is 11 in R/B/Y/G. R/B/Y/G = R/S/E > 2-3 years > G/S/C/HG/SS = D/P/Pt > 2-5 years > B/W > 2 years > B2/W2 > 1-2 years > S/M
R/G/B/Y/FR/LG=R/S/E/OR/AS 11
3 Years
G/S/C/HG/SS=D/P/Plt 14
Unknown time probably 3 years due to the ex rocket grunt with a kid thats no more than 2.
B/W 17
2 Years
B2/W2=X/Y 19 (Though his sprite doesn’t show it, in fact he didn’t seem to have aged at all)
Then 2-3 Years
S/M
If 2 years then he’s 21.
If 3 years then he’s 22.
Either way, Red and Blue are definitely adults! I’m glad that they aged. Yet, Wally should be an adult as well if this was followed. He obviously seems like he’s not in the trailers. Pokemon and continuity, I swear.
Wally should be the same age as them, they’re not good with the whole ageing thing
FYI Incineroar’s German name is Fuegro.. I really like it. XD

Lol that name is actually good
Looks like “negro” lol
I’m glad Incineroar is part Dark type. That means all I need is for Wimpod2 to STAY Water type and I think I should be all good for my team lol
My team is pretty much messed up because I was working under the assumption that none of the starters typings changed from the base form.
i am guessing you are going with rowlet then cause his is the only type change that we did not know about
I hope it loses it Water typing and becomes Ground because of the legs
But that wouldn’t really make sense srry earthen
Ground is legs XD
Duh, Fairy! 😛
I think it might be Fighting, or Dragon
Red and Blue are a bit of a curveball. I expected Cynthia, not them.
I hope they’re tough as nails too.
Primarina to all the haters https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/15b36ccf1399602fe8a369ac11f086fd32517cee1e49f51d3d3b2660b89ccbf7.gif
same goes to Incineroar who has WAY more hate then Primarina lol
That’s another case https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/a1abd1eae91aab1ffe360e78e062994021de9831f865cc4785b54ab640d6c838.gif

Even as a huge Primarina fan boy, I feel Incineroar needs more attention due to people slagging it based off of other Pokémon and not itself
Litten is so pure and then became that. Yeah, it’s part dark but :/
I love him! He’s my spirit animal! Lol
people are hating because its another bi-pedal, bulky fire starter, even tho it has the fire/dark typing a Type which hasn’t been seen since gen 2 with houndour line. I like the design it has alot of personality just like the other 2 and it being a heel fighter makes it way cooler then be a regular wrestler
It’s more like Litten had so much potential for GF to go for a fire/fighting looking pkm and make it fire/dark just for the sake of it
just because it looks it doesn’t mean it was planned to be one.
Didn’t say it was planned to be one
it still a cool looking mon to me
Its design is not bad, the thing that bugs me is that it comes from Litten + it’s a starter
I can understand that part but like its gamefreak they do alot of things people dont like it,
meloetta is shook
Uuuugh loving the Fairy variety brought single handedly by the Tapus
Koko and Bulu aren’t feminine appearing whereas the feminine ones actually act like folklore fae who were morally ambiguous and quite self centered
I like all the Tapus and can’t wait to abuse their abilities.
Hey, guys! 🙂 I translated what Lillie says in the Japanese trailer, and here’s what she said mostly.
“Name-chan…Cosmog came from a far away place and is a rare Pokemon.” (she used a type of sentence that ends with ndesu (which I just learned!) that is used for feeling and providing a silent explanation for something. From this one sentence, I can’t fathom what it could be yet, but just letting you guys know) What puzzles me is that Cosmog came from far away. From another dimension? From another world? So many questions just from one statement. I am so puzzled and curious, I honestly can’t wait to find out 😀
Name Senpai pls notice me
xDDD It was just a name, Hoshigumo, but I felt too lazy to type it up xD
Name Senpai pls walk to skewl with me.
Oh Dimension makes sense if it’s Aether who named it (Which is is according to the site)
But if it’s from another dimension, how does it relate to Lunala? And what about the one related to Solgaleo? That one hasn’t had any mention yet.
Unless they aren’t related, but in the datamine they are by the legendaries.
Nothing’s piecing together for me, which frustrates and excites me
They’re the same one.
It’s the 3 stages of a Star/Planet.
Cosmog is the beggining. Lunala or Solgaleo is the end.
The UB’s also seem to correspond to each planet plus Pluto.
So would that mean that Lunala/Solgaleo are not from Alola/from the Pokemon world? That’s interesting.
Here, I saved the theory in case I needed to share it again.

Space? I mean that would make sense imo
Primarina
Water/Fairy
Pixilate
-Hyper Voice
-Scald
-Moonlight
-Calm Mind/Some coverage move/Refresh
How broken?
If Sylveon wasn’t broken neither will this thing be
Better use moonblast or Kommo-o will faint your Pokemon
So does “process of building a league” mean that we get a league post game? O_o
Hope so. With the 7 Trial Captains becoming Gym Leaders, and Hau becoming the 8th.
Kahunas=E4
what would be awesome is if you get to pick what gym number they are ie: make hau gym 1 and mallow gym 2 that would make each game unique
I’m scared for this. Simply because they were “building the Battle Frontier” in ORAS and that never came
“After the growth you achieve through completing the island challenge, will the day come when you also take on the Pokémon League to become the strongest Pokémon Trainer?”
Ok good yay
no
YOU CANT HANDLE THE LEAGUE THEN *closes door*
Maybe. It might stem from us creating a league. I do see a League Post-Game in the future. Maybe as you being the Champ!
Nah I wanna fight a champion. xD
