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’).

I should go, I need to calm down and lose the anger, there’s no point in staying when I’m at my boiling point, if I explode it’ll get worse.
You scare me
I’m sorry I probably scare a lot of people when I’m angry, I have anger issues. A common thing I hope!
Tbh i really hope stars is a sequel and not a third version, it’d feel like a cop out unless it’s also extended
Tbh I think GF is done with 3rd versions
I know you can never tell but they havent don’t one since platinum. I think from now on it’s either sequel’s/prequel or just next gen
Yeah, seeing how they’re easy money you’d think if they were continuing there’d be an indication but that’s two Gens now without one
I agree, there are lot of things that hint a sequel: Lillie going to Kanto, the spots that could be gyms etc…
Another tbh but im going to be disappointed if we do get a home conslle main story game that doesn’t have two regions. Do you know how much data hone consoles games can hold?… Idk either but probably much more than 3ds. Buying a whole console to pay for a console game (which are normally $60) is way too much for a typical no post game one region Pokemon game. If we do get Stars on Switch I better see Alola+Kalos/Kanto/new region
Tbh Kanto would make sense with Lillie and anniversary
Basically my honest opinions
Solgaleo- I will admit right now, I do REALLY like it, its honestly a very good design. For me it just had the misfortune of being against Lunala, but I’d still say Solgaleo is a REALLY cool legendary
Lunala- I wanted a bat legendary, so badly. And it’s a ghost.., I can go on for days on why I love this thing, making it my third favorite legendary of all time.
I can’t be the only one who feels this way
I understand how you feel about Lunala!
I used to
Now I just imagine Nebby as a cat and like Solgaleo better
Damnit
No, you’re not 😉
😀
I think Solgaleo is really nice, but lunala is a better and more unique design
Agreed! 😀
Solgaleos shiny is straight shit though
Helioisk 2.0 confirmed
I think it looks fine and I honestly like Solgaleo better than Lunala.Just wanted to put that out there.
I like Solgaleo a lot, but I just hate its shiny. Too much red
I can put up with up,probably cuz my favorite color is red.But yeah,it really could’ve been better.
Wtf is a switchmas BTW?
12 days of Switch news?
The switch stream on the 12 of January
>12th
>School
>FML
Same ;-;
I’ll pray for you if you pray for me? XD
Yeah, why not ;D
I’m leaving now goodbye everyone I shall leave to ease the tensions!
You’re not really getting any tension out of anyone tho :l
Sorry
No but like what I meant is that you’re not really annoying anyone
People have different opinions and argue all the time so it’s fine
Sorry about my aggression everyone I was speaking by my anger, when I get frustrated it goes overboard, super sorry about that I’m sorry! Also, no I don’t have mental issues, thanks for that question, and please don’t fear me I’m not a monster!
Right so long story short I’m writing a fanfic (lel like it’ll ever exist) and I need help
Basically legendaries are deities and nature spirits (few exceptions)
What should I make Necrozma the God of?
Death? I mean it is in the name…
I’ve got Uveltal for that, but I could easily incorporate multiple death dieties! Thanks
Rainbows
Ho-oh tho
Pokémon makes writing fanfics of it so hard >w<
Let’s see… light?
That might work! Goes well with Solgaleo and Lunala being solar and lunar dieties
Yay 😀
so a plot for your fan game?
No this is different
Like its an actual fic
suuuuure
My game idea has fan made Pokémon as Gods
This fanfic uses pre existing Pokémon
which you just said necrozma as a god
Necrozma is a pre existing Pokémon
Darkness
Isn’t that a bit ironic tho? 😮
Just a thought
What if the next gen 7 games has both legends fighting Lunala? Just a thought
Why tho? Just asking
I dunno, I just feel like it might be a possibility. I mean Sol and Luna get their energies from light so….
… I think something just made a connection
So Solgaleo and Marshadow fighting Lunala?
Nope, Solgaleo and Lunala fighting Necrozma
Eh, maybe. OR THEY COMBINE AND CREATE THE ECLIPSE POKEMON TO TAKE IT DOWN! Eh? Eeeeeh?
Nope
then, you should edit your first post cause you wrote “both legends fighting Lunala” instead of “fighting Necrozma”.
A fun thing to think about
Solgaleo and Lunala require light for energy
Necrozma makes/refracts light
And the three are all psychic type
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/64050820ee30731ce054c3aea120be563f5397289ff26703f137ce4cf9cf82e9.gif
And all three are said to come from different worlds (presumably Ultra Space)
I’m presuming:
A) They’re related and Necrozma is an evolution of Cosmog and or Cosmoem
B) They’re related, story or biology wise, but aren’t evolutionary related
C) Unrelated but come into conflict
I honestly see Necrozma being the thing that reflects the light to Solgaleo and Lunala from the moon and sun
Wouldn’t it be refraction though
Damnit XD my bad
It just needs a form, it’s so unpleasant to look at
It will, and i has a theory :3
I agree It could be something like this
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/8cbd95144f53ae23d7171daa1e210808d096b77f648bc844881325b0ef32f0e1.png
Hm that’s cool
Maybe? It’d make them related at least
Although what I’m wondering is that if Solgaleo is from male Cosmog and Lunala are from female Cosmog, what’s Necrozma from 😮
The devil
The attack helicopter variant of cosmog
Is that why it’s violent? It’s always triggered?
Yep, and when it does that thing where it holds it’s head it’s trying to hold its propellers back
Gonna name it Apache XD
YES XD
The ultra space? Didn’t it came from there
I’m assuming it’s going to be another Kyurem situation and Necrozma needs the light energy produced by Solgaleo and Lunala to power up itself because a prism requires light to create a multitiude of colors
Battle royale anyone? They are fuuuun
me
later tonight i have a ton of new pokemon bred BUT i have to run errands with my aunt while she’s in town
But i totally wanna do some tonight
I wouldn’t But it will be another “target spectral every turn” fest
um maybe not this time cause cascoon also have good pokemon lol
Whaaaaaat. Noooo
I doubt it… every single time XD
I’ll join anyone cause I hate myself
what is a good replacement for magnezone?
Depends, what are using the magnezone for?
magnezone was basically to trap and kill scizors, celeestelas and skarmory but i cant manage to hatch a HP fire one
Yeah, nothing else does that job as well
i wish the bottle caps helped you to pick specific IVs. that would have made HP breeding faster
Yeah…
Magneton
Nothing in this generation
So I have
Antasma- Lunala
Apollo- Solgaleo
Can I use Apache, Jesus XD? I need another a
YES
😀
Necrozma has star on head?
Does this mean Necrozma is mascot of
Of Pokémon ~~Z~~~
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/272758c8fce500e5d93ba22fff3881cbfde31367b2580cdb05e9c611c85c27a6.png
More like Pokémon never going to exist
Can’t wait for Zygarde’s formes to fade into obscurity
Wait until they actually get a big role in Stars
No. He’s the mascot of pokemon gray
So speaking of Necrozma,
What’s everyone’s theory about what it will be like in Stars
Hopefully Psychic/Rock or Psychic/Dark
Should’ve been dual typed
i vote rock since that’ll give it plenty of weaknesses that’ll stop it from being so bulky
A scorpion or a dragon makes sense
I really hope it’s a scorpion, we’ve sent a Gen without completely new Dragon legends for once and I’m hoping it stays that way ^^;
Agreed. Not having a Dragon as a third legend for a change is good
Rayquaza > Giratina > Kyurem >Zygarde
A change would be nice 😀
Not having Dragon Legendaries in the first place is nice to me
Wait why?
A scorpion because it represents the trio of animals that forms and chimera: a bat, a lion and a scorpion (sun and moon has many references to alchemy)
As cool a that would be…
Speculation about something means it wont happen :<
honestly I didn’t even think anyone liked Solgaleao let alone for it to be winning, Lunala is more popular in general than it
Lion > Bat any day :3
Lion < Bat
Stop lion to yourself
I mean, some of us just like bats more
honestly male lions are my worst fear, they make my stomach churn by the way they move, something about them seems unnatural to me
The sound of their roar can bring grown men to their knees.
You are right to fear them.
yeah but its not that kind of fear, like I’m not afraid of them so much as they make me highly uncomfortable, like when I see a bug moving and it makes me want to vomit, that kind
Personally I find the movement of certain animals fascinating.
Always been a major fan of the big cats.
its not really a choice, its just how my body and mind react
http://stream1.gifsoup.com/view1/1591463/running-lion-o.gif
Solgaleo is majestic af!
Solgaleo has a boring design. Lunala is good.
Whenever I see Lunala I just think of this, a mildly scary shopping list:
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/82996fd19191359414b6477d0831edb5a1def85cd005c68c1c93c1f87682b669.gif
Why do you gotta be so mean?
I’m just saying it is flat like paper and hangs in the sky
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/3a81b61cf87d856e4ea41144082c6cfb3a179287454237ea50d466b8c56ca0a2.jpg
OH MY ITS SO KAWAIIIII
Lunala for the WINd
(Get it’s a bat, bats fly so for the Win d)
I would’ve went for the WINg :p
This is going to be the plot of Pokemon Stars: https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/d58606557d79ae17a54dae3bf152516474bb46813a4a8324fd9ab111e42710b5.jpg
Yes Pls
Why does Zygarde throw a Palossand Necrozma?
Yo question time becuase that hasn’t been a thing for ages
Do you guys like it when Pokémon is more realistic and/or sci-fi, or when it’s more fantastical?
Fantasy
Fantastical it fits pokemon better honestly
Fantasy
@Ithsme:disqus we are only 5 days away my boy! LETS GET THIS HYPE TRAIN MOVING
I hope the switch have any touchscreen that would be an nice touch :v
but how would touch screen games work when the switch is docked
………………….. I haven’t thought about that
As I have said, SPECIAL ADD-ON FOR 300 BUCKS!
Special add-on for 300 bucks!
:O

It was before , it mostly stopped TBH
But hey! That’s a good thing because it shows this game had good enough legends to argue about!
I was gonna say “a while ago” but that would be an excessive title
True
But read the second part
Yeah, this is the only game with good enough legendaries to have a huge argument about.
Well except for RSE
….My levels of respect for you just shot to the stars from that statement
Like this is actually the truth
Gross, what the hell is that…thing?
It looks like for my fan mons one of my legendary Pokémon slots are not yet occupied. Anyone got some ideas?
depends what are the legends so far and their impact
I mean this will be a more minor legend, like a Heatran sort of thing
hmmmmm mine’s call Tremountain
pure rock
it is simply a colossal Pokemon that helped shaped the earth and build things like mountains and lakes
but now it lies dormant
Interesting, but I dunno if I’d use it because
1. Groudon and Regigias
2. I don’t wanna type dupe TOO much, but still good nonetheless
Who said i’d let ya have it, punk
And for your information
Groudon rose landmasses
and Regigigas towed the continents with a rope
this pokemon is based on mythical giants that have said to shape the land
I’m asking for ideas for my last legend mate
A legendary based on atoms or something like that
But I don’t trust Atoms, they make up everything
I laughed at this more than i should
Sounds cool! If not a legend than definitely a pokemon
Noice :3
😀
If it’s like a Heatran legendary, how about a Kraken that’s found deep underwater and requires you to explore a huge underwater sunken city, similar to Atlantis? And the Dex Entry would be that this legendary sunk a once beautiful city using deadly tidal waves and storms
I love the idea, but I actually already have a Kraken legend planned ;3
Aw that sucks..
How about a Griffin legendary then? 😀
Oooh! That sounds nice!
It could be like Fairy/Electric, Fairy/Flying or Fighting/Flying, and basically it’s a guardian of ancient ruins on top of one of the region’s tallest mountains?
That would be cool!
Or since you applied a while back, it can be your legend and a fire type (Being that the trainers applying can use legends)
Oh my god YES, Fire types are my favorite type and a Griffin is my favorite mythological animal, so if it is my legend, I will die in happiness
😀
Since your fire, fire what?
How about Fire/Electric with the ability of Levitate?
Okay! 😀
And just to piss off the players, how about it can learn some powerful Grass Type moves to take out Water and Ground types lol
Oh it will ;3
