Pokémon Mascot Showdown: Generation VII

Hey everybody, due to certain circumstances, we’re bringing you the last regional Mascot Showdown a little bit later! The winner of the last showdown is Xerneas with 53%.
Let’s move on to our last region: Alola. This brand new region is the startpoint for Generation VII – bringing incredible, new features like Trials, Z-Moves, the Battle Royal, Poké Rides, regional variants and so much more!

Pokémon Sun Version

Pokémon Sun featured Solgaleo, the Sunne Pokémon, on its cover. It resembles a more robust white lion design complete with a galaxy motif on its forehead. Its crownlike spikes and its tuffs of fur around its head resemble a sun. Among the people of Alola, it’s known as the beast that devours the sun and has therefore been honored as its emissary.

Solgaleo is the only known Pokémon that can learn the move Sunsteel Strike. Along with Lunala, its counterpart, it’s the only Legendary Pokémon that’s part of an evolutionary line. Not to mention it also has the highest HP-stat of all Steel-type Pokémon. Its name comes from ‘sol‘ (Latin for ‘sun’), ‘Galileo‘ (the man who proved that the Earth rotated around the sun) and ‘leo‘ (Latin for ‘lion’).

Pokémon Moon Version

Lunala, the Moone Pokémon, graced the cover of Pokémon Moon. It’s a large skeleton-like bat whose wings seem to resemble the moon, and are made of the night sky. Much like Solgaleo, it can travel between our dimension and the Ultra Space. Additionally, it’s called the beast that calls the moon, thus gaining the title “emissary of the moon” by the Alolan people.

Lunala‘s signature move is called Moongeist Beam. While Solgaleo is called the male evolution of Cosmog, Lunala is called the female one. Its name derives from ‘luna‘ (Latin for ‘moon’) and ‘ala‘ (Latin for ‘wing’).

  1. Two things:
    1) Am I the only one who was legit confused about the road attached to the mount Hokulani Observatory? The first time I went on it I was like, “ooo where does this go??” And then I got to the end and realized it was the road the bus took to get up.
    2) How do you pronounce Molayne? Mo-lane?

  3. Hello everyone, I decided to return after a short break in order to cool down and erase the tensions. I once again apologize for my actions that day, I did not mean to make it seem like I was stubborn or trying to hog attention, the apology was true and heartfelt. I hope now that I’ve left enough, everything can get back to normal!

  4. I am in a kinda crappy mood but I feel like I should say it I’m building for my fan region a season for the anime and a new manga off it.

    And question for my Rom-hack should I do a random region or should I make my fan-region(and just make most of the stuff on it it will take waay longer this way)?

      • Yay!
        So since he’s Rock/Ice I built him kind of husky like but in detail

        Rockruff has a much large coat of light greyish light blueish fur with an even fluffier tail thats still white ears are the same just same color as fur (still has dark brown edge on it) and has white fur growing over its eyes (to be cute and some dogs fur grows over their eyes)

    Is there a physical part of yourself that you’re proud of?

        • But why? Is it because you have a personal aversion to it due to how much you understand?

          I find that many people (unfortunately) have a fixed mindset concerning mathematics. I often hear people complain that it’s “too hard” or just “not right for them”. And maybe there’s some truth in that. But it’s incredibly heartbreaking to see people dismiss such a beautiful area of knowledge just on the basis that they couldn’t understand some computations.

          If you judge things based on how hard they are to do, you will never do them. You will never learn what there is behind it. I know a lot of people who once hated math simply because they were bad at it, but once they went back to the fundamentals and actually applied themselves, they succeeded. One of those people was my former math teacher.

          The moral is this: Don’t judge a book by its cover. You may discover something beautiful behind a daunting face!

          • Sorry, jokes are really hard to interpret sometimes over the internet depending on the context. This is a really touchy subject for me (clearly lol) as someone who wants to teach mathematics

          • It’s fine, I understand why it’s so important. I get the same with diet stuff tbh

        • The following are properties P:
          Let L denote “being a language”
          Let H denote “having a history”
          Let V denote “being more than just something you learn & a language”
          Let U denote “having the most importance in the discovery of laws of nature and other such discoveries”

          Let P_E be the set of all properties of English/any other first language
          Let P_M be the set of all properties of Math
          |P_E| < |P_M|
          QED

    • I disagree.
      While math can occasionally be boring, english is a very misleading class. They aren’t teaching you how to speak/read english, I’m literally just writing essays all year.
