Favorite Trial Captain: Probably Acerola. She was fairly well developed and also a very upbeat, charismatic girl. I enjoyed her dialogue and found many things odd about her, particularly her royal beginnings and close friendship with Nanu (because she is his niece). I was excited to see her again later in the game for a particular reason, and hope to see more of her in the future. She seems like one of the younger Trial Captains, so it’s almost a given we’ll be seeing her.
Favorite Kahuna: Hapu by far. Don’t get me wrong, I love all of the Kahunas, but Hapu had wonderful development, since we knew about her since Akala Island. She was a huge helper, had great dialogue, and a particular cutscene right before the Altar that gave me chills. Of course, no one really embodied the Kahuna spirit like Hala, but I really enjoyed Hapu’s backstory and journey to get to where she is.
Oh, and I’m interested in who the rest of you pick! 🙂
ACEROLAAAAA! 😀
I have to say, Sophocles might be a close second, especially considering his close friendship to Molayne. It’s interesting that he has a Greek name… and even more interesting that I was born in Greece myself!
Whoa! That’s cool!
I had a theory I’ve said a bunch of times about Acerola and who she REALLY is
Trial Captain: Mina! JK. Probably Ilima. I just found him to be really nice and not super flamboyant, which is something I was worried they would do with him. Men can be fem without being over the top (which is something I feel they tend to do in pokemon) so I’m glad they didn’t fall into that stereotype.
Kahuna: Nanu!! He’s like our first dark gym leader, has a ton of cats, and is super nonchalant about everything.
You know, Ilima really struck a chord with me. He seemed super intelligent and extremely friendly. At first I thought they got lazy with Nanu, but his personality really fits his attitude and approach towards everything xD
I’m glad he’s not “evil.” I’m still holding out for a super peppy and friendly dark type user though.
Like kid Sydney?
Yeah maybe, although he’s sort of intimidating as well haha
Also
Fave Captain: Acerola… she needs a hug… and I shall give it to her
Fave Kahuna: Nanu, easy choice. Hapu actually felt a tiny bit forced to me, I loved Hala but not as much as Nanu, Olivia was EXTREMELY boring to me. Nanu was just perfect
Yeah, Olivia didn’t nearly have as much development (and simply wasn’t interesting) as the other three. Perhaps she’ll get a boyfriend before the next game and become more interesting?
I feel like giving her a boyfriend in an attempt to make her more interesting would be a bad move lol.
Yeah it’s more of a random excuse I made up for why she wasn’t interesting xD
I found her to be the least interesting kahuna as well. It’s neat how her, mallow, and lana all live in the same town though.
Even though only two of them are relevant and Olivia’s character feels all over the place
I never really got a sense of her character at all. She feels distant in a way, I think they could play that up. If they made her ace (which I know they never would because kukui is the most they’ve ever delved into a relationship before) I would like her more. But I’m biased 😉
I know they Never *** would
All I need to say is this
She acts how she does
And in the E4 Rematch she mentions something about crushing you
And she feels weird
Like is it trash talk? Teasing? WHY DOES SHE LEAD WITH A F**KING RELICANTH AND WHY DID IT OUTSPEED MY KOMMO-O
Yeah, I think her character could use work. I can’t tell if she’s nice or mean
Or just weird? She says that strength is the polar opposite of herself
Speaking of Kukui, I would’ve loved to see more of Burnet, especially during the Aether Foundation bits. Do you know if she is part of the postgame UB quest in any way? (no spoilers)
I’ll give you a straight answer
Nopity nope
🙁 🙁 🙁
She did look rather hot in the game.
I liked Burnet. Def would’ve liked to she more of her in the story. She works in a dimensional lab, I thought for sure she’d come into play during the UB story
Can we battle her next game with all the Naduses?
Everyone should be battleable! 😀
😀
Inb4 Lillie has five nebbies and an Alolan Ninetales
Or she got Solgaleo, Luanala, Zygarde Complete, Ninetails, Nihilego, and Phermosa
I doubt she’d get the U…..
Oh shit….
I forgot to put Mallow and Lana in my honorable mentions of sexy girls in the Pokemon series
On food
Crush it!
Grind it!
Bop it!
Twist it!
(Totally didn’t add those last two in for a lame joke)
Or y’know, a less waifu-bait character?
Acerola and Olivia 😀
Ey Dicie? How does the gym leader thing work?
The tag by my name on Disqus?
Yeah
I’m a Staff Member on Pokejungle, which is why I have that tag. Other members, like PJ and Ozy will also have these tags by their name. 🙂
Oh cool!
Guys what does spirit Pokemon mean?
If you’re referring to Land Spirit Pokemon, it’s what the four Tapus are classified as.
No that ..I saw down in the comments users saying my spirit Pokemon is this and my spirit Pokemon is that. Does it mean if they were Pokemon?
Were they taking the concept of “spirit animal” and applying to pokemon or something?
Oh yeah, that was me and Star
I mentioned Acerola was my spirit animal
Star said Primaria was hers
And I replied Decidueye was also mine
Mine is DEDENNE
Of course XD
Just noticed the theme says “Skull” not “let’s go”… I’m stupid….
Anyways, I freaking love your boi Guzma
Guzma and Lusamine are my favorite villains of the series to date. Although we really can’t call either true “villains,” there’s some good in the both of them.
Guzma never was a villain really.
His backstory was very interesting
And y’know what? I honestly believe he liked you the whole time
You could probably say the same about Plumeria. That one cutscene outside of Vast Poni Canyon (I think) with her was just wonderful.
Exactly!
Also, have you ever noticed the things he says when he loses? Before you actually leave the battle screen
thinks like
“That was actually pretty good”
and
“You were pretty good, I guess”
(I might of messed this up by a word or too)
I did! Really makes me think that he’s a nice dude all along.
Exactly! He was! Just really misguided! Have you ever seen his house?
The one in Po Town? What about it?
That’s not HIS house
Go to route 2, it’s located there :3
You’ll find it eventually
“Why is Marshadow you’re favorite pokemon?” Does this answer it?

What is it doing in this photo?
Its just sitting in his nap, kinda just resting on his leg
it looks like its carrying the cloud
It does look like that
Marshadow always struck me as a cute cowardly pokemon that attaches to one trainer and is stupidly protective
In terms of the anime, what’s the point of Ash going to school? Isn’t he gonna participate in the Island Challenge?
I think Ash will participate in the Island challenges and beat totem Pokemon and in the end he will become the first champion of Alola
If so, I can’t wait to see the plot of SM play out in the anime, especially with the Ultra Beasts and the Aether Foundation!
Alright, I’m going to bed everyone. I shall see you tomorrow!
Night m8!
Anybody want to restore my sanity and give me a male jolly pokemon that is in the amorphous egg group?
Sure! Got an Apricorn ball you’re willing to trade? … JK
That’s only for actual mons
But yeah, I’ll do it soon (Unless I faint) I’m currently breeding
HUGE THEORY TIME
the faller who died ten years back was Zinnia, and there is PROOF that lets this become valid
Good theory
Evidence because I like this
Here it is
1. Minor but this is important, the original Faller was a her, so that clears up some other options
2. She’s well aware of the other dimensions, very few characters even are. It seems very strange, even if she is a Draconid
3. Listen to her theme.. compared to every other theme, even Wally, it sounds very strange in ORAS. Like it clearly doesn’t belong. It seems Kalosian…. but not quite
4. She’s first seen disguised as a Aqua/Magma member. She’s playing the disguise role.. Only three other characters to my knowledge even do this. Petrel, the PC of Heartgold/Soulsilver… And Looker, a member of the international Police
5. She tends to do things in a very unorthodox manner, and the International police tend to do this as well. The faller example speaks for itself.
6. The typical person doesn’t just “know” that much about the mossdeep space station. Her relation to Devon is quite strange
And finally
7. Isn’t it funny that the only other faller besides yourself, Guzma, Lusamine, and Lillie is from Hoenn? It seems funny that Zinnia’s goals are all in Hoenn
Boom
I think it’s a bit of a stretch but not impossible. It would be a good way to tie her back into the story
Except she’s dead if this is true.. Nanu mentions the old faller perished because Looker failed to kill the UB and gave it a moment of Mercy
… Oh.. wow
Yeah.. I actually legit had to do a double take when I first heard that one…
I also heard another theory about the UBs on TV tropes that seems.. well,,, very plausible.. and the type of thing Zinnia would try to stop
Look at this BS
Seriously none are Jolly nature https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/5866126af5f81e74f3c19f9d84c6b8f16433f269c0c83cc6042ec2cb3f599711.jpg
Yo.. I have two boxes of Grubbins missing one Defense IV each but perfect in every other way
Just realized the irony of Lillie, PC, and Cosmog…. Omg… this is literally an english enthusiasts wet dream! And I feel REALLY at home with this!
??
Lillie didn’t have proper parents. Cosmog is basically a baby and you/Lillie are basically its parents
I love how the theme of motherhood is explored in these games. I love how the industry seems to have so much trouble writing female characters then pokemon is over here doing great with it
I aspire to be like them in this case
@SpectralSeraph another batch and still no Jolliy Mimikyus are you almost able to trade?
Lemme just quickly synchro something up, hold on
NitPick – Why do Pokemon say their names in the overworld in sun and moon? They are animals it makes no sense. I get they did it in the anime so that people would remember their names but in the games there is no reason to other than to tick me of 😛
I also dislike that they changed Pikachus’ cry in gen 6, it was much better before.
That’s nothing new, it’s been there since the early games iirc. My headcanon is that their cries can vaguely sound like their names in some cases. I know it barely works, but it’s either that or just saying they rationalise all their calls as their names somehow. I REFUSE to accept they’re saying their names, that’s one of the most egregiously moronic thing about the anime, it makes no bloody sense and it’s one of the reasons pokémon is perceived as dumb and childish.
One day I will be able to give the PC Len Kagamine hair… and My life will be complete
Oohhhyou mean Player Chadacter I was really confused
Yeah XD
Seriously
Len Kagamine hair
It’s not a want
Not a Request
But A demand and a need
Why is Gen 7 the first time the anime actually looked like it got truly cared about
I’m really excited to start watching it this weekend
You didn’t watch eveb 1 episode?
Nope. Wasn’t interested until after I heard such good things about it
First episode is the worst but the last 2 were really amazing I rate them 9/10
Definitely!
I will say, episode 1 had its fair share of laughs too, even if all of them were singlehandedly samson oak
You are all creeps…
All I need to say is
Bewear runs on water
I actually have cracked up at some of the events in it
Every character seems interesting (Barring Ash who sticks out like a sore thumb)
Mimikyu is basically hellbent on murdering Pikachu
The day Ash gets swapped for competent player character is the day I can die happy
Pretty much XD
My only problem? The dub is terrible. But everything else is perfect
Isn’t that just how anime is though? Subs not dubs
Not always, in a lot of cases, but not all (I wish i watched more)
Yet I hate the original I understand none of it I hate Subtitles and it’s annoying to watch muted pictures like that so we can agree to disagree here
Hmmmm
I think they increased the budget this time
I think I need to get dittos of common natures soon
MY PEOPLE NEED ME!

RUNNING AROUND AT THE SPEED OF SOUND
XD
It seems to be a running gag to replace the “blasting off again” gag
AAH WHY seriously I think I’ve gotten every nature except for Jolly. Why why why
I think I’m going to find a shiny before I find the right nature
Don’t you have a Jolly Male in it’s egg group?
Nope -.-
Can you look for a common Amorphous ‘mon and synchronize it? Or do you not have a Jolly Synchronizer?
Your resident ghosty master is on the case! I’m here to help! And struggling severely!
Please hurry my spectral savior
I shall! Depending if the 5% encounter rate decides to work
What are you encountering? Mimikyu? Just find a male Ghastly with jolly. Isn’t he in the amorphous egg group?
Yeah but doesn’t that make breeding more annoying?
No not at all
Okay, lemme just quickly stop running into Golbats…
2 bats
Nvm I just found the Mimik
All it would do is increase egg production time, I’m not sure by how much as it varies a lot.
Omg… I just figured out why SuMo anime is good… they finally embraced the truth
The pokemon anime is a meme… so they embraced it… YES
Wow I just realized I don’t have a single jolly nature Pokemon
I have a few
That cuz most cute pkmn r special Attakers.

Seems like little miss Star won’t be going insane breeding Mimikyus tonight
Yay!
WOW 5IV Mimikyu only missing HP. I’ll use a bottle cap on that and I’ll have a perfect Mimikyu yess
😀
Coincidentally, I was breeding Mimikyu too..!
I’m wondertrading the extras now..
So the site is giving me links to old articles and I’m cringing
http://pokejungle.net/2016/06/15/speculation-popplio-waterfairy/
My favourites include ‘it won’t be Water/Fairy’ and ‘these leaks are fake’ :p
There’s nothing cringey about sharing an opinion.
Also I expected Magic Guard as it’s hidden ability. Granted back then I didn’t believe the rumoured final evos were real so I expected to like Popplios final evolutions as opposed to what we got.
It’s just because of how Adamant everyone was, saying that it absolutely couldn’t be Water/Fairy and that the art couldn’t of been real. People who were like ‘I think it’s something else’ or ‘I don’t think these are real’ aren’t cringey at all.
There’s nothing wrong with admitting something from the past is cringey and sharing a good laugh or memories over it, even if you were one of the people who others think was cringey
Also Magic Guard > Liquid Shit
Fair enough. That’s why I’m never adamant with an opinion. Anything can happen.
And the hidden abilities were really lacklustre this gen. I guess after the broken shit they made last gen, they had to tone it down.
Liquid Voice should’ve been ‘Hydrate’ or something and turned Normal moves into Water moves
Rather than giving it a second Sparkling Aria which it can’t activate its Z-Move off of (Hydro Vortex or Oceanic Operetta)
Remember when people thought Rowlet could’ve been Grass/Ground? I liked the idea… but people were so adamant that a starter wouldn’t change it’s secondary typing, and that it would have to stay Grass/Flying all the way to the end.
What we got in the end was so much better than Grass/Ground or Grass/Flying, imo.
Can we go back to the ultra world?
NO.
🙁
No but you can switch between day and night if you bring Solgaleo/Lunalo to Altar of the Moone/Sunne
oh, cool
